More than 40 people are dead after two car bomb explosions on the

Turkish border with Syria. The Turkish Government says initial

investigations suggest the attackers are limped to Syrian intelligence.

Voters defy the Taliban to cast their ballots in Pakistan's general

election, but polling day is marred by more violence. Finance Ministers

from the world's leading economies say it's time to get tough with tax

evaders. Star Wars heads to a galaxy near

you. The seventh film in the series you. The seventh film in the series

will be shot in the UK. Adams time. Three minutes. A corner.

Towards Watson! Wigan stun the favourites Manchester

City to lift the FA Cup Final at people have been killed in two car

bomb attacks in southern Turkey close to the Syrian border. Over 100

more is have been injured. The Deputy Prime Minister says he

suspects Syrian forces were involved in the Palaces in the town of

Reyhanli because it's a crossing point for refugees. James Reynolds

has more. Pf These pictures were filmed minutes

after a first bomb exploded in the Turkish border town of Reyhanli.

The footage captures a second blast. It takes a few moments for people to

start running away. The two bombs exploded outside the

Town Hall and a post office. On this road, witnesses and

survivors try to reach the injured. TRANSLATION: We were a bit far away

from the explosions. It suddenly happened and everybody started to

run. It was so strong that all the windows shattered.

Ahmed here being helped away was not far from the Town Hall when the

first bomb went off. TRANSLATION: The bomb exploded all

of a sudden. I don't know how it happened. I was standing there and

the bomb went off. After that, we started picking up the dead bodies.

Reyhanli is just a mile from Syria. This Turkish city hosts Syrian

refugees who 've tried to escape their country's war. These

explosions make it much harder for Turkey to stay out of its

neighbour's conflict. TRANSLATION: Another sensitive issue

is that Haiti province is on the border with Syria. These actions may

have been taken to provoke those sensitivities.

No-one has admitted carrying out the attacks. But the Turkish government

says that it believes the bombers had links to Syria's Intelligence

Service. Turkey warns that it will do whatever is necessary to respond.

And in Reyhanli itself, some young men have already taken action. Here,

one group destroys a Syrian car. They're angry that the war next door

may now have come to them. James joins me now in the studio.

The Turks suspect Syria is behind the attacks. Why would the Assad

regime do this? First of all I think it's still an if, there is no word

from Syria at the moment so we are only taking Turkey's words for it.

Syria and Turkey are on opposite sides of this conflict and have been

for a year-and-a-half. There may be elements in Syria which wish to

destable aiz Turkey but, picking a straight fight with Turkey would be

a dangerous move. Turkey is a know toe country with a huge Army. These

attacks put pressure on the Turkish government and Turkish Prime

Minister. He has to prove to his own population that he can keep them

safe. His population's always been support the Syrian opposition but

stay out of the war. These explosions make it very difficult

for him to carry on staying out of the war now.

Many thanks. The former Prime Minister of

Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif, has claimed victory in the general election.

Millions voted despite bomb attacks by the Taliban that claimed over 20

lives today. It's the first time in the country's history that an

elected civilian government will be followed by another. Ora la Gearin

September this report from Islamabad.

A jubilant Nawaz Sharif claiming victory tonight and appealing for

cooperation from his rivals. For the sake of the nation, he said, let's

work together. The man who looks set to be Pakistan's Prime Minister for

the third time promised to rescue the country.

And it needs rescuing from the Taliban.

They struck this morning in Karachi. A violent start to an historic day,

a child was among the dead. Their target was a secular candidate

candidate. There have been attacking Liberal Parties throughout the

campaign and they've been trying to scare away the voters. This was the

response today - long queues and a spirit of quiet defiance.

Overall, voting went rel tufly smoothly and turnout was strong.

-- relatively strongly. There is a steady stream of people coming to

vote. They are making history today for the first time in Pakistan, a

democratic Government's completed a full term and its successor is being

chosen at the ballot box. At this polling station in Islamabad, it was

hard to find anyone not voting for the cricket star, Imran Khan. His

promise of change energised the youth. It's very exciting. It's my

first time but right now I think it's exciting because the vote

matters a lot. Everyone is looking for a change, everyone is tired of

the old parties coming back again and again.

With counting under way, it was clear that Khan had not achieved the

tsunami he promised, but he is now a new force in Pakistani politics.

There have been complaints about alleged irregularities, especially

in southern Pakistan. This amateur video posted online appears to show

bracen ballot stuffing. We can't independently verify its

authenticity, but the message seems clear.

-- brasen. Support porters of Nawaz Sharif are taking to the streets. He

seems unlikely to win a majority and it could take time to form a

coalition. The west is watching closely. Stability in Pakistan is

crucial for the region. Finance Ministers from the world's

seven leading economies have agreed there needs to be collect if action

to target tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance. Speaking at the end

of a two-day meeting in Buckinghamshire, George Osborne said

it was incredibly important that international tax rules were fit for

a modern economy. Today, we all agreed on the

importance of collective action to tackle tax avoidance and evasion.

This is a key priority for David Cameron and for myself and we are

absolutely determined to make progress this year with the British

presidencies of both the G7 and the Our business correspondent, Joe

Lynam, was at that meeting. What kind of action are we talking about

here that could be in the pipeline? The Government's stepping up a lot

of information sharing. Britain already shares lots of information

with other G7 countries, but they want to beef that up and get more

countries on board with the ultimate goal of having a global tax

framework to clamp down on aggressive corporation tax

avoidance. Britain can't act alone, so, as the Chancellor alluded to,

they need G7 and G8 agreement, so they have asked the OECD, the

Paris-based global think tamp on these issues to come up with a

report for next month's G8 in Fermanagh at the big one in St

Petersburg in September which would set a new way so the big

corporations can't go from country to country, playing one country off

on another when it came to corporation tax rules. Today was a

small but notable step towards clamping down on corporate tax

avoidance. Many thanks.

Now, doctors are calling for those who work unpaid caring for relatives

at home to be screened more regularly for depression.

The Royal College of GPs says careers save the country billions of

pounds a year, but around 40% experience mental health problems.

Danny Savage has more. It's estimated that there are seven

million people in the UK who provide unpaid care for a sick or disabled

adult or child at home. More than 2. 5 million of them are

thought to be at risk of depression or stress as a result of their

caring role. Careers should now be routinely

screened for signs of dedepression by being asked about their mood and

well being. Glenn Pass cares for his wife, Lisa, who uses a wheelchair

and has been in an out of hospital for months. He ended up out of work

due to depression because of the responsibility. It wasn't something

I knew about until it hit me because you concentrate so much on the other

person that you think, I'll be all right, I suppose it's the

stereotypical view that you should get through it and you shouldn't

concentrate on yourself. So to make life easier for those

looking after others, doctors are being asked business the Royal

College of GPs to allocate appointments and vaccinations at

convenient times for careers, create a careers' champion in all GP

surgeries and keep a careers' register within the practice. Pf

Careers are the hidden heroes of the NHS, of social care, and we cannot

take that for granted. It's important, not only that GPs do

their best for careers, but that the Government and the state does as

much as possible to support careers. Ministers admit that far too many

careers can suffer from depression, but insist their care bill will

improve knowledge about the support available.

In a significant boost to the British film industry, the latest

instalment of the Star Wars franchise will be made here in the

UK. Producers have confirmed the seventh episode will be shot in

British studios next year. Our entertainment correspondent, Lizo

Mzimba has more. This report contains flashing imagery.

The sudden news that Star Wars was coming back used an explosion of

excitement from fans. Now it's been confirmed the next

film will be made here. It's been a successful few years for the British

film industry with blockbusters like Skyfall being made here in the UK at

Pinewood. This is another welcome boost, not just for the industry but

also for fans who 'll be delighted about the announcement.

That's because the expertise of British film crews is regarded as

being a significant factor in the success of the original trilogy, all

three of which were made here. One of the actors says he's not

surprised. I think Britain has many of the Best Actors in the world -

thank you very much! But also it has great film technicians here. George

Lucas himself has said that the British crews are amongst the best

in the world and I think that's good reason enough for films to come

here. The other good reason is cost - the

new movie is likely to benefit from significant tax breaks. Today the

Chancellor recognised that it was a vote of confidence in British film.

I got personally involved in trying to persuade the Lucasfilms to bring

Star Wars to the UK so I'm absolutely delighted and it looks

like the force is strong with this one. Recognised he'd also fallen

victim to the dark side of Star Wars humour. I'm sorry!

So, with the battle for one of the world's biggest entertainment

franchises now won, pre-production work will soon be starting in

Britain with filming scheduled for 2014.

Prince Harry said he hopes to bring America's warrior games for injured

servicemen and women to the UK. On the third day of his official US

tour, Prince Harry is in Colorado for the opening ceremony of the

Paralympic-style tournament. He esays he believes the spectacle of

ex-military athletes competing against each other would attract

huge crowds. With news of a dramatic end to this

year's FA Cup Final, here is Lizzie at the sports centre. Hi, there.

Thank you very much. There was a fairytale ending to the FA Cup as

Wigan struggling at the bottom of the Premier League beat favourites

Manchester City 1-0 in the final this afternoon for their first major

trophy. Joe Wilson was watching at Wembley.

And still they come. The FA Cup Final is now made for TV, rather

than the travelling fan, from the North West come South for a 5. 5.15

kick off knowing that somehow you must then get back home again. They

still do it because it still means something to be there.

Wigan's manager urged his players to throw off the shackles of their

relegation battle in the lead to cut loose in the cup and it did happen.

McMann nan available, not quite able.

Mancini insists he will be at Man City next season. Other reports

suggest otherwise. Without doubt, his team were overwhelming

favourites here. Tevez could have scored a couple of times in fifrs

half. Against all of City's financial muscle, McManaman, a

teenage free from fr to Wigan, his relentless running prompted

desperate defending. McManaman again. Zabaleta took desperation too

far, his second yellow, he was off and City were struck, unable to

string an attack together themselves they were vulnerable to exactly

this. COMMENTATOR: Watson!

From a non-league club to FA kun winners in a generation. For Wigan,

it takes some believing, but when you lift the trophy, it gives you a

permanent place in football history. I thought the team deserved to be in

the winning seat today and the performance was close to perfect.

What happens next? Wigan will surely find new inspiration in their battle

not to go down. Manchester City supporters just have to find the

energy to try and get home. Because of that FA Cup Final, there

was just one match in the Premier League today with repercussions at

both ends of the table. Match of the Day follows this programme, so if

you don't want to know what happens, this is your chance to leave the

room. Frank Lampard became Chelsea's

all-time leading scorer with two goals today as they came from behind

to beat relegation-threatened Aston Villa 2-1. The victory all but

guarantees Chelsea Champions League football next season.

Celtic celebrated their back-to-back league titles in style today with a

4-0 win over St Johnston. The team were presented with the trophy after

the match and could still win the double with a place in the Scottish

Cup final at the end of the month. As Rugby Union's season also draws

to a close, Leicester are through to their ninth successive premiership

final after beating champions Harlequins 33-16 in the semi-finals

today. England flanker Tom Croft scored Leicester's third try and

they'll face the winner of Saracens and Northampton on 25th May at

Twickenham. Also the date for the pro-final, an all-Irish affair

between Leinster and Ulster. Back to you, Clive.

That is it from the newsroom. Good Good evening.

I wish I could give you a minute and a half of top quality warm spring

weather. It feels more like autumn out there at the moment with

temperatures tumbling. A few showers left behind through the Cheshire

gap. Most having a dry end to the night.

Cold though with temperatures already down to three or four in one

or two places. Towns and cities a bit higher than that. Rain already

knocking on the door of Northern Ireland early doors and that rain

will be spilling its way eastwards. Make the most of the morning

sunshine in the east. It will cloud over and we'll all see a period of

dampness through the day. This is mid to late afternoon and some rain

across Scotland and parts of England.

Under the rain clouds, it will feel cool, just ten or 11. Something a

little drier arriving across Northern Ireland, west Wales and the

south-west and before the rain arrives, some brightness hanging on

across eastern Cowan dis of England. -- counties of England.

On Monday, more chilly air arrives on a stiff north-westerly breeze.
