Good afternoon. Almost 150 people are now thought | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
to have been killed in a wave of coordinated bomb attacks in | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
northern Nigeria. A militant Islamist group said it carried out | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
the killings - the latest in a string of sectarian attacks. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
Eyewitnesses spoke of as many as 30 separate explosions at government | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
buildings in the city of Kano, north east of the capital Abuja. In | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
the last few minutes, Foreign Secretary William Hague has said he | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
was shocked and appalled by the attacks. From Nigeria our Africa | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
correspondent, Andrew Harding, reports. Fires and chaos, the | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
immediate aftermath of the devastating attacks. This was one | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
of several police stations targeted in Kano. The carefully co-ordinated | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
assault by armed militants spread panic across this huge northern | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
Nigerian city. More than 100 people are now known to have died. The gun | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
battles and bombings lasted several hours. As explosions, sounds of | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
explosions, four of them before I came out. On my way out I saw a | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
dead body. A young man was lying dead. Outside the city morgue, | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
angry, anxious families have been waiting for news, with more bodies | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
being brought in throughout the day. We think that the number will | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
definitely rise. The number of attacks are multiple. There are so | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
many buildings that were involved, so many people may be buried under | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
the debris. A militant Islamist group, Boko Haram, said it carried | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
out the attacks, by far the most devastating in a string of recent | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
atrocities. On Christmas Day, Boko Haram targeted churches in the | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
region, and warned Christians to leave the north of the country. | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
These are uncertain times for Nigeria. Boko Haram has emerged as | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
a sophisticated, ambitious, well organised threat. The President now | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
says the group has infiltrated the government and the security | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
services. Today, the city of Kano is under a strict curfew, with the | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
attacks clearly designed as a show of force, and they have exposed the | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
limitations of Nigeria's security services and badly shaken this vast | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
nation. A woman's body was recovered this | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
afternoon from the wreck of the Italian cruise liner, the Costa | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
Concordia. It brings the confirmed number of dead to 12. Rescue teams | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
are still searching for 20 other people who are unaccounted for. | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
Live now to our correspondent at the scene, Luisa Baldini. Yes, the | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
woman's body was found on the 4th deck of the ship, apparently in a | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
very narrow corridor. She was wearing her life jacket. Many | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
relatives of the missing passengers are here on Giglio, and they have | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
been waiting for any news as the search operation has been | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
continuing. Landing on top of the Concordia, Italian firefighters are | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
winched down to continue their search of the drier parts of the | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
ship. At sea level, divers who had been preparing since Dawn used | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
explosive devices to blast holes into the side of the ship on the | :03:27. | :03:36. | |
5th deck. We carry out some controlled explosions, to break | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
down these big windows and these windows. Bruno, a navy commander, | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
showed me where the divers had been working. On the ship, it is full of | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
water. No air inside, at this moment. The search operation has | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
been stopping and starting over the last few days, and that has | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
prompted questions about how long, exactly, it is going to last. The | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Italian coastguards say they will continue until they are confident | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
every part of the ship has been searched. But scouring this | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
colossal steel carcass is taking time, so the authorities are now | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
considering the possibilities of beginning to pump oil out of the | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
Concordia, while the search continues. More than 2000 tonnes of | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
fuel are still on board, prompting fears of an environmental disaster | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
she did begin leaking. To that end, an Italian Navy ship, which | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
specialises in oil spills, has been moored nearby as a precaution. | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
is a semi- floating device, which basically will attract the oil and | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
separate it from the water, and then we can use our ship equipment | :04:53. | :05:01. | |
to pump this Seoul into our storing depots. -- this oil. For now, there | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
has been no leak, the water is clear enough to see some of the | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
passengers belongings, which were left when the Concordia keeled over. | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
It has been confirmed that a Save has been recovered from Captain | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
Francesco Schettino's cabin. Once it is open, the contents will be | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
handed to the prosecutor as evidence. Also found are his | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
passport, a data disk and his uniform. There are suggestions he | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
changed out of it before abandoning ship. | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
British officials in Iraq are preparing to fly home the body of | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
the hostage Alan McMenemy, after it was handed over to the UK embassy | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
in Baghdad yesterday. Mr McMenemy - a security guard - was one of five | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
men taken by Shi'ite militants in 2007. Our security correspondent, | :05:48. | :05:58. | |
:05:58. | :05:59. | ||
Frank Gardner, reports. Alan McMenemy, speaking from | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
captivity, before being killed by his Iraqi captors. After nearly | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
five years, they have handed over his body. It marks a tragic ending | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
to a murky story, that began on the streets of Baghdad in May 2007. In | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
broad daylight, the five Britons were snatched from Iraq's finance | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
ministry. Dozens of gunmen arrived in vehicles, dressed as policemen, | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
and drove them off towards the Shi'ite district. The men were | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
taken to the Sadr City area of Baghdad, beaten, stripped and | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
eventually separated. Their captors, the Shia militia, demanded a | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
prisoner swap. They wanted the release of their own leaders from | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
this US detention centre. The British Government says it does not | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
make substantial concessions to kidnappers, but it tried every | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
other means to free them. In the end, only this hostage came out | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
alive. Does he now think the government did enough? I believe | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
what the Foreign Office did at the time was with good intentions, but | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
it was a bad result. That is all I can say. I suppose they need to | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
review it, and sort of not do whatever they did with the next | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
hostage case, to try to get a better result. Alan McMenemy is the | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
last of the five hostages to be returned. The bodies of Alec | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
MacLachlan from South Wales, Jason Swindlehurst from Lancashire and | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
chicken Creswell from Glasgow were all handed over in 2009 -- Jason | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
Creswell. Peter Moore was released the same year. Britain's longest- | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
running kidnap crisis for a generation is now over. | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
A prominent Irish republican - who was cleared yesterday of murdering | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
two British soldiers - is claiming his DNA was planted in a getaway | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
car. Colin Duffy was accused of killing Royal Engineers Patrick | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
Azimkar and Mark Quinsey in 2009, in a gun attack by dissident | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
republicans. Our Ireland correspondent, Mark Simpson, | :07:50. | :07:58. | |
reports. Colin Duffy spent almost three | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
years in jail awaiting trial. Yesterday, he was found not guilty | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
of murdering sappers Patrick Azimkar and Mark Quinsey. It was | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
the third time he had been cleared of murder. Today, he spoke for the | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
first time about the killings of the two soldiers at Massereene | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
Barracks. We state quite categorically here that I had no | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
involvement in what happened at Massereene. No involvement | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
whatsoever. How can he explain his DNA being found in the getaway car? | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
My DNA was, in my opinion, planted there. One man has been convicted | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
of the murders. 46-year-old Brian Shivers. But the police say the | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
investigation will continue. Detectives believe up to six people | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
were involved in the killings, and next week, they are expected to | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
appeal for more information from the public in Northern Ireland, to | :08:54. | :09:03. | |
help bring them to justice. Sport now, and Andy Murray's hopes | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
of winning his first Grand Slam at the Australian Open are still alive. | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
He beat his opponent in straight sets to reach the last 16, and said | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
he had "fun" on the way. Tim Franks watched the action. | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
Andy Murray is a Scot who seems to feel at home in Australia. He is | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
now gunning for his third consecutive final there. In his way | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
today, the Frenchman, Michel Llodra. Defenceless early on against | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
Murray's deadly peril at. The Frenchman had earlier questioned | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
whether Murray might be too passive. The world number For first past the | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
post riposte was unintentionally painful. Another undisguised | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
account -- disguised backhand prompting mirth. Llodra was no | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
fall-guy and patted a winner around the net. How to top that? Try set | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
to link the second set with a last ditch hot dog following with a | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
somersault. Llodra could only stand in awe as Murray swept the third | :10:05. | :10:13. | |
set to love with a perfect lob. The Scot is through to the last 16, and | :10:13. | :10:16. |
