Still at large - police hunt for the gunman behind yesterday's attack at

:00:08.:00:12.

a Jewish museum in Brussels. CCTV footage is released of the

:00:13.:00:15.

moment he opened fire before making his escape.

:00:16.:00:21.

The Pope makes an unexpected visit to the controversial barrier that

:00:22.:00:23.

separates Bethlehem from Jerusalem as he makes a plea for peace.

:00:24.:00:29.

Dramatic scenes at the Monaco Grand Prix as another driver falls foul of

:00:30.:00:31.

the famous course. Good evening.

:00:32.:00:53.

A manhunt is underway following yesterday's attack at a Jewish

:00:54.:00:59.

museum in Brussels. A fourth person who was critically injured is this

:01:00.:01:01.

evening reported to have died. CCTV footage has been released showing

:01:02.:01:03.

the gunman entering the building before pulling out an automatic

:01:04.:01:07.

rifle and opening fire. From Brussels, Duncan Crawford sent this

:01:08.:01:12.

report. The moment of horror when gunmen

:01:13.:01:15.

walked into the Jewish Museum in Brussels. The blurred image in the

:01:16.:01:19.

doorway behind him is one of his victims. Captured on security

:01:20.:01:23.

camera, the man pulls out a Kalashnikov rifle and opens fire.

:01:24.:01:29.

The people inside had no chance. He then packs up his things and

:01:30.:01:34.

seemingly walks calmly away. Today, the Jewish community mourned its

:01:35.:01:39.

dead. The victims were all shot in the neck and face and included an

:01:40.:01:42.

Israeli couple, a French woman and a Belgian man. Many are in shock, but

:01:43.:02:05.

not all are surprised. We are very sad and we are disappointed to hear

:02:06.:02:08.

about this event but not surprised. Lots of people say Jewish people

:02:09.:02:11.

should go back to Israel and when we see that on a daily basis we

:02:12.:02:14.

understood something terrible might happen. Police were investigating a

:02:15.:02:17.

number of motives, but their main line of enquiry is that it was an

:02:18.:02:21.

anti-Semitic attack. Security has now been stepped up at synagogues

:02:22.:02:23.

and other Jewish sites across the country. There has now been over 24

:02:24.:02:26.

hours since the shooting took place at the museum and police appear to

:02:27.:02:29.

be struggling to identify the killer. Prosecutors say whoever

:02:30.:02:34.

carried out this attack was well-prepared and probably acted

:02:35.:02:36.

alone. They are calling on the public to help. The Jewish community

:02:37.:02:41.

in Belgium is 40,000 strong and its leaders have recently reported a

:02:42.:02:53.

rise in hate crimes. The police hope the release of CCTV images will help

:02:54.:02:57.

track down the killer. No one has claimed responsibility for the

:02:58.:03:00.

attack and for the moment, the gunman remains at large.

:03:01.:03:03.

The Pope has made an unexpected intervention in the Middle East

:03:04.:03:06.

conflict by inviting the presidents of Israel and Palestine to visit the

:03:07.:03:10.

Vatican together to pray for peace. Speaking at a Mass in the West Bank

:03:11.:03:13.

town of Bethlehem, Pope Francis described the situation there as

:03:14.:03:15.

"increasingly unacceptable". He also made a surprise visit to the barrier

:03:16.:03:18.

that separates Bethlehem and Jerusalem, as our Middle East Editor

:03:19.:03:29.

Jeremy Bowen reports. Pope Francis touched his forehead on

:03:30.:03:32.

the wall that separates Bethlehem from Jerusalem to show his

:03:33.:03:36.

disappointment at the failure to ring peace to the holy land. This is

:03:37.:03:41.

a Pope that understands the power of signals. The Palestinian say Israeli

:03:42.:03:49.

is grabbing land. Later I asked the Pope why he stopped. He said the

:03:50.:03:56.

answer will have two wait until the trip back to Rome. At an open-air

:03:57.:04:03.

mass, opposite the church marking the birthplace of Jesus, many

:04:04.:04:08.

Palestinians believed Pope Francis has been signalling his support for

:04:09.:04:14.

their point of view. The Pope said this was going to be about religion,

:04:15.:04:19.

but it is clear he wasn't just talking about ritual. He has made a

:04:20.:04:25.

big intervention into politics and diplomacy, backed he believes, by

:04:26.:04:30.

his moral and spiritual authority. He had an embrace for the

:04:31.:04:36.

Palestinian resident and an invitation to meet him and Israel's

:04:37.:04:41.

president at his home in Rome. Secular leaders have run out of

:04:42.:04:45.

ideas about Middle East peace, but the leader of 1.2 billion Catholics

:04:46.:04:51.

seems to have plenty of both. The Palestinians are seeing everything

:04:52.:05:00.

the post -- Pope has said and done in the contexts of their strategy

:05:01.:05:03.

and that is to try to get their argument about the way they want

:05:04.:05:09.

things into the mainstream of the international debate, as part of the

:05:10.:05:15.

accepted wisdom. The fact especially the Pope stopped at a wall to pray

:05:16.:05:20.

makes this, for the Palestinians, a much better than expected visit. A

:05:21.:05:26.

Jordanian military helicopter took Pope Francis to television for the

:05:27.:05:29.

Israeli leg of his tour. Pope Francis to television for the

:05:30.:05:40.

accepted the Pope's invitation. At the airport, Pope Francis renewed

:05:41.:05:46.

his predecessor's call to live in peace and security alongside a

:05:47.:05:50.

sovereign and independent Palestine. Pope Francis is intervening in a

:05:51.:05:55.

sovereign and independent Palestine. conflict which has defeated everyone

:05:56.:05:55.

else who conflict which has defeated everyone

:05:56.:06:02.

he looks to be a man whose office has power that should be used. And

:06:03.:06:07.

we can speak to Jeremy Bowen in Jerusalem now.

:06:08.:06:10.

Do you think the Jerusalem now.

:06:11.:06:15.

stands any chance of making a breakthrough in this conflict? I

:06:16.:06:17.

don't think it is capable of making a breakthrough in any quick time,

:06:18.:06:24.

but what I think it does do at a time when that old paradigms of

:06:25.:06:30.

Israeli, Palestinian negotiations, probably brokered by the Americans,

:06:31.:06:35.

when that has failed again. What it might do is change the political

:06:36.:06:42.

engine and diplomatic geometry of what goes on in these peace

:06:43.:06:45.

negotiations. It is another channel. It will please the Palestinians

:06:46.:06:52.

because it does not involve Benjamin Netanyahu. And he is the one who has

:06:53.:06:57.

the power. There are already flaws in this idea if the idea is to do a

:06:58.:07:03.

deal. But what the Pope is trying to do at first is change the

:07:04.:07:06.

atmosphere. There was an echo of that in the remarks of President

:07:07.:07:11.

Peres of Israel, who when he was speaking said, there are risks in

:07:12.:07:17.

peace, but they are less than the risks that come with war. Thousand

:07:18.:07:28.

of students gathered for a candle-lit vigil at the University

:07:29.:07:30.

of California to remember the six people killed by the British-born

:07:31.:07:32.

student Elliot Rodger. The 22-year-old stabbed his three

:07:33.:07:35.

house-mates and shot three other people in Santa Barbara. Rodger,

:07:36.:07:38.

whose father is a Hollywood film director, was later found dead in

:07:39.:07:41.

his car. Alastair Leithead reports from California.

:07:42.:07:46.

This was the moment Elliot Rodger opened fire on a shop. The panic

:07:47.:07:51.

captured by the video. Watch again, the fridge door on the left as the

:07:52.:07:57.

bullet strikes just over the girl's head. This is where one of his six

:07:58.:08:05.

victims were killed. I don't know what you don't see in me. I am the

:08:06.:08:10.

perfect diet and yet you throw yourselves up those obnoxious men.

:08:11.:08:13.

In this video, posted just hours or the attack, he said he was going to

:08:14.:08:22.

do this and why. It all has to come to this. Tomorrow is the day of

:08:23.:08:25.

retribution. The day in which I will have my revenge against humanity.

:08:26.:08:34.

Against all of you. The first three people to die were stabbed to death

:08:35.:08:38.

at his apartment before the shooting spree began. He had clashed with his

:08:39.:08:44.

flatmates in the past. His father is a British film-maker, shown here

:08:45.:08:47.

with the killer's half rubber. The police had been warned of his mental

:08:48.:08:54.

illness and hateful videos. They believed he wasn't a threat but he

:08:55.:08:57.

was meticulously planning his day of retribution. At the wheel of his

:08:58.:09:02.

crashed BMW, he carried out that. Six people were left dead, 13

:09:03.:09:08.

injured. He targeted female students and witnesses saw him sprayed the

:09:09.:09:15.

streets with bullets. I saw the car spray past. He hit a kid on a bike.

:09:16.:09:21.

He flew off the bike. He drove further down to the corner of the

:09:22.:09:26.

street were a lot of people were standing. It is quite a big thing,

:09:27.:09:31.

standing out on the streets around here. He started shooting into the

:09:32.:09:37.

crowds. People have left candles to remember those killed. The shooting

:09:38.:09:41.

has traumatised this town and raised questions over America's gun laws.

:09:42.:09:49.

Armed with tired of this? How can this go on? What are we thinking? It

:09:50.:09:54.

is unbelievable to me that we have to do this all over again. It is a

:09:55.:10:01.

question people in Santa Barbara are asking as they reflect on another

:10:02.:10:05.

mass killing in America where angry young men have easy access to guns.

:10:06.:10:13.

The Home Secretary, Theresa May, has promised fresh action to curb

:10:14.:10:15.

immigration ahead of tonight's European election results.

:10:16.:10:19.

Reflecting on UKIP's success in the local elections, Mrs May said the

:10:20.:10:22.

number of people coming from other EU countries to live and work in

:10:23.:10:25.

Britain was "too high". Meanwhile senior Liberal Democrats have

:10:26.:10:27.

rallied around their leader, Nick Clegg, following calls for him to

:10:28.:10:30.

stand down after the party's poor performance. Our Deputy Editor,

:10:31.:10:38.

James Landale reports. Tonight across the continent,

:10:39.:10:42.

several days of voting is coming to an end in an election that could

:10:43.:10:48.

change the face of politics in Europe and Britain. With Nigel

:10:49.:10:51.

Farage and UKIP expected to repeat the success of last week, the larger

:10:52.:10:54.

parties are working out how to respond. The Conservatives promised

:10:55.:11:00.

to put the time EU migrants can claim benefits from six months to

:11:01.:11:04.

three and do more to deport them if they are out of work. The Home

:11:05.:11:10.

Secretary said it was harder meeting targets to cut net migration. We

:11:11.:11:15.

still have that aim. But it has become more difficult and migration

:11:16.:11:19.

is too high. I want to continue working to bring it down. What we

:11:20.:11:24.

see in those areas we can control, that is immigration from outside the

:11:25.:11:28.

European Union, everything we have done as a government has been having

:11:29.:11:33.

an impact. After setbacks in the local elections that could be

:11:34.:11:38.

repeated tonight, some Lib Dems are calling for their leader Nick, Nick

:11:39.:11:41.

Clegg to stand down. Not all his MPs are rushing to his defence. Because

:11:42.:11:49.

I have an open mind on the issue, I can go on this programme and say I

:11:50.:11:54.

haven't made my mind up. But one former leader had made up his mind.

:11:55.:11:58.

He is a man of courage, integrity and decency. He is the best Prime

:11:59.:12:05.

Minister Britain has not got. I believe it will get through to the

:12:06.:12:10.

electorate in the next election. Nobody is calling for Ed Miliband's

:12:11.:12:13.

head. But if Labour does badly tonight he could face questions

:12:14.:12:18.

about his leadership campaign where he got on the wrong side of some

:12:19.:12:23.

interviews and a bacon sandwich. His deputy head to differ. The idea of

:12:24.:12:32.

early predictions is for the birds. The facts are, we are moving forward

:12:33.:12:35.

and Ed Miliband is in touch with concerns and we are putting forward

:12:36.:12:38.

those policies. This election matters because it is the last test

:12:39.:12:44.

of public opinion before the general election. The three parties are all

:12:45.:12:49.

braced for losses at the hands of UKIP. What will matter is how their

:12:50.:12:58.

leaders, MPs and members respond. There will be a special European

:12:59.:13:03.

election programme presented by David Dimbleby. You can catch that

:13:04.:13:08.

from 9pm tonight on the BBC News Channel and from 11pm on BBC One.

:13:09.:13:17.

The confectionary tycoon, Petro Poroshenko, has won an outright

:13:18.:13:19.

victory in Ukraine's presidential election, according to exit polls.

:13:20.:13:22.

Voting has been taking place across the country but in parts of eastern

:13:23.:13:25.

Ukraine it was disrupted by pro-Russian separatists who smashed

:13:26.:13:27.

ballot boxes and prevented polling stations from opening.

:13:28.:13:33.

With all the sport here's Katie Gornall at the BBC Sport Centre.

:13:34.:13:37.

Good evening. Nico Rosberg has overtaken his Mercedes team mate

:13:38.:13:40.

Lewis Hamilton at the top of the Formula One Driver's Championship

:13:41.:13:42.

after winning an eventful Monaco Grand Prix. Hamilton finished in

:13:43.:13:45.

second place ahead of Red Bull's Daniel Riccardo. Nick Parrott

:13:46.:13:50.

watched the action. The Monaco grand prix is usually all about glamour,

:13:51.:13:56.

but this year hit became a grudge match between Lewis Hamilton and

:13:57.:14:00.

Nico Rosberg. The Briton was unhappy about the controversial way his

:14:01.:14:05.

team-mate to pole position and after winning the last four races, found

:14:06.:14:09.

himself in the unfamiliar position of playing second fiddle from the

:14:10.:14:14.

start. Sergio Perez was having a bad weekend, crashing out on the first

:14:15.:14:19.

lap and mechanical Robins ended Sebastian Vettel's race. Hamilton

:14:20.:14:26.

complained his team missed a chance to get him ahead of Nico Rosberg. He

:14:27.:14:33.

suffered more problems as he tried to catch the German. He lost sight

:14:34.:14:37.

of his team-mate and was soon fighting to keep Daniel Ricardo at

:14:38.:14:43.

bay. Leaving Nico Rosberg to win here for the second year in a row.

:14:44.:14:47.

Nico Rosberg coming through to win the Monaco Grand Prix. He has

:14:48.:14:54.

retained in the lead of the championship from Hamilton, who

:14:55.:14:57.

seems to have lost some of his fears.

:14:58.:15:05.

England's crickets have suffered a heavy defeat in the second one day

:15:06.:15:07.

international against Sri Lanka at Chester-le-Street. They were bowled

:15:08.:15:11.

all out for just 99 to lose by 157 runs. The series is now tied at 1-1.

:15:12.:15:14.

Tim Hague reports. England's winter of discontent left them with little

:15:15.:15:18.

to be happy about. But this summer has marked a new start. There was

:15:19.:15:22.

too much of the old England in the field, allowing Sri Lanka to get

:15:23.:15:27.

into their stride. And this dexterity also did some damage. The

:15:28.:15:33.

tourists were helped by more mishaps. Catch, after catch, dropped

:15:34.:15:39.

by England and a target of 257 should have been much lower. But

:15:40.:15:45.

that figure appeared impossible after seven overs as England had

:15:46.:15:53.

already lost four wickets and 29, for four. More things to note for

:15:54.:16:00.

the new head coach, Peter Moores. England all out on 99. It may be a

:16:01.:16:07.

new start, but it is not a very good one. Rory McIlroy has ended a

:16:08.:16:14.

difficult week by winning the PGA Championship golf at Wentworth just

:16:15.:16:17.

days after splitting up with his fiancee, the tennis player Caroline

:16:18.:16:19.

Wozniacki. McIlroy came from seven shots behind to take the title. The

:16:20.:16:23.

Northen Irishman hit six birdies and an eagle in his final round to

:16:24.:16:27.

finish one ahead of Shane Lowry of Ireland. And that is all the sport.

:16:28.:16:29.

There's more
