Good afternoon. Police say they've uncovered "very good" evidence that | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
may explain why a gunman shot dead teachers and 20 children at a | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
school in the United States. The gunman, named as Adam Lanza who was | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
20, shot his mother before going to his former school in Connecticut. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
Police have today revealed he had to force his way into Sandy Hook | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Elementary in Newtown before opening fire, killing the head | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
teacher and other staff as well as the children some as young as five. | :00:43. | :00:53. | |
:00:53. | :00:56. | ||
Steve Kingstone is in Newtown for us. Steve. | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
Yes, Clive. The police say they have identified now all of the | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
victims in this shooting. Their bodies have been removed from the | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
school for postmortem analysis. We expect to get the names of those | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
victims through the police later today. The school itself, as you | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
could imagine, is a massive ongoing crime scene investigation. As you | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
said, the police now believe the gunman forced his way on to the | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
premises yesterday. Officers retrieved two handguns and one | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
semiautomatic rifle as they and we try to piece together what happened. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
Someone shooting in the building. The police operator relays the | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
unfolding horror as armed SWAT teams enter the school. Units in | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
the building - I got bodies here. Witnesses say gunshots had rung out | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
over the school tannoy, prompting teachers to lock their classrooms | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
and order terrified children to hide under desks and in cupboards. | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
We kept hearing gun noises and "Put your hands up", and we just kept | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
hearing that. But while appearing calm, teachers were fearing the | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
worst. I am thinking that I almost have to be their parents like I | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
have to tell them - so I said to them, "I need you to know that I | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
love you all very much and that it's going to be OK." Because I | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
thought that was the last thing they were ever going to hear. I | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
thought we were all going to die. Dawn was the head teacher. She was | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
shot dead after going to investigate the noise together with | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
Mary Sherlack, the school psychologists, who was also killed. | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
27-year-old Mary Soto taught some of the youngest children and is | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
reported to have died trying to shield them. The youngest victims | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
were in two classrooms later identified by the clothes they had | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
been to school in. The detectives will certainly analyse everything | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
and put a complete picture together of the evidence that they did | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
obtain, and we're hopeful that it will paint a complete picture as to | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
how and why this entire unfortunate incident occurred. The police have | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
identified 20-year-old Adam Lanza as the killer, who then took his | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
own life. Schoolmates described him as bright, but withdrawn and | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
socially awkward, possibly with a personality disorder. He lived in | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
the well-heeled outskirts of Newtown with his mother in the | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
family home where her body was discovered yesterday. She was a | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
registered gun owner and had worked as a supply teacher at Sandy Hook | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Elementary School. # I once was lost # | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
What happened here is testing the faith of the quiet rural community, | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
that always prided itself on being safe. Last night there were vigils | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
for the victims and their families, but alongside the spiritual, | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
political feeling is building, with grief driven calls for tighter gun | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
laws. Gun laws are intended for one thing, and we aren't living in a | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
war zone. We aren't living in a hunting range. We're living as | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
human beings together, so I hope this town would wake up to anything | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
that creates violence or hurts other people. As Newtown mourns, | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
the president has said again that America has been through this too | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
many times and that meaningful action is needed this scarred | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
community is looking to Washington to make that real. | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
Now, as to why this happened, the police a short time ago said they | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
found very good evidence inside the family home which may point to | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
motive. Presumably, that is some sort of correspondence or message | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
left by Adam Lanza. They have also spoken to his brother, who didn't | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
live in this state, but the brother of Adam Lanza says that the gunman | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
may have suffered from a personality disorder, possibly some | :04:38. | :04:47. | |
form of autism. Back to you. Steve in Newtown, Connecticut, | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
thank you. The family of the nurse who was | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
found dead in an apparent suicide after taking a prank call about the | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
Duchess of Cambridge say her death has left an "unfillable void" in | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
their lives. Jacintha Saldhana's husband and children were speaking | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
outside Westminster Cathedral, where they attended a special | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
service in her memory. From there, Richard Lister reports. | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
For the past week Jacintha Saldanha's family have been trying | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
to cope with the reality of life without her. They arrived at | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
Westminster Cathedral this morning to give thanks for her life, but | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
still with many questions about her death. The 46-year-old nurse was | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
found hanged in her lodgings just days after she was tricked by a | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
hoax phone call seeking details about the Duchess of Cambridge's | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
medical condition. Today, her husband described her as having | :05:29. | :05:37. | |
been the light in his darkness. loss is a very painful one, and | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
nobody can take that place in my life ever again. I love you and | :05:44. | :05:53. | |
miss you forever. Jacintha Saldanha's children also paid | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
tribute to their mother. We are shattered, and there's an unfidable | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
void in our lives. We love you, mum. Sleep in peace and please watch | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
over us until we meet again in heaven. The King Edward VII | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
Hospital released a statement last night stressing that she had not | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
been disciplined over the hoax call because, in their words, she was | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
the victim of a cruel trick. Jacintha Saldanha's body is being | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
flown back to India, the country where she was born. Her family said | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
today the funeral will be held on Monday. | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
Egyptians have begun voting on a new constitution which has divided | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
the country and sparked violent protests. The President, Mohammed | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
Morsi, is backing the draft document, but opponents say it | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
favours Islamists. Our correspondent Lyse Doucet is at a | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
polling station in the town of Heliopolis on the outskirts of | :06:43. | :06:51. | |
Cairo. Lyse. With all the controversy | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
surrounding this new stew, what's the turnout been like so far? | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
turnout has been huge. We have been at this polling station in the | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
north of Cairo since it opened at 8.00am, local time this morning, | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
6.00am GMT, and the queues have stretched right around the block, | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
both on the men's side of voting and on the women's side of voting. | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
They have had to extend the voting hours twice. There's still a few | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
more hours to vote, and it's not clear whether everyone here and at | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
polling stations across the country will be able to get inside to cast | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
their ballot in time. Everyone we speak to here said it absolutely | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
matters for them to vote on a charter that will define the future | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
character of the Egyptian state and society. Will it move towards an | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
Islamic state or towards greater democracy? That is where Egypt is | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
poised now. Thanks, Lyse. Nelson Mandela is recovering in | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
hospital after undergoing surgery for gallstones. | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
The South African government says the procedure was successful.The | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
former president, who's 94, was admitted over a week ago with a | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
lung infection. A second cruise ship has docked at | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
Southampton after some of its passengers became ill with the | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
Norovirus vomiting bug. Yesterday more than 400 cases were confirmed | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
on the P&O liner The Oriana. Meanwhile, several more hospitals | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
have been closing wards and turning away visitors in an effort to stop | :08:10. | :08:20. | |
the spread of the virus as Sophie Hutchinson reports. | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
Birmingham City Hospital, still closed to most visitors today. It's | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
part of the battle to concern this year's early surge in the winter | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
vomiting bug, or norovirus, which has affected a number of wards. | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
reason for doing this is to try to avoid the amount of traffic on site, | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
so people come in from the community and bring bugs in with | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
them as much as taking bugs out into the community. And there's | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
disruption at other hospitals across the UK. Dozens of individual | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
wards have been closed, including at this hospital in Wrexham in | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
North Wales, and visitors at a hospital in Maidstone in Kent | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
welcomed the restrictions. Personally, I think it's a good | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
idea. I mean, it seems to spread like wildfire, doesn't it? | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
course, yeah. What else are they going to sort of curb it? It's the | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
only way, isn't it? The norovirus, which causes vomiting and diarrhoea, | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
usually peaks between January and March, but figures this year are | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
already showing a sharp spike in infections with an increase of 72% | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
on the same period last year. The advice for anyone who thinks they | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
may have the norovirus is to stay at home and away from hospital. The | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
danger of going on to wards is that the virus is so highly infectious, | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
it could spread to the most vulnerable patients with serious | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
consequences. And it's not just hospitals that | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
have been hit. The cruise operator P&O has now had to deal with a | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
second outbreak just a short time after hundreds of passengers fell | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
ill on another liner. England's cricketers had a good | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
third day in the final test in India, but they had to be patient | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
before reducing their hosts to 297 for 8 at the close. England were | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
left frustrated for the first six hours of the day, Veerat Kohli | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
scoring a century in a partnership of 198 with captain MS Dhoney. But | :10:11. | :10:14. |
