The Belgian capital, Brussels, is on maximum alert, | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
after authorities received specific information that an attack with guns | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
The Brussels metro has been closed until tomorrow afternoon, and people | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
A number of football matches in the city have also been postponed. | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
Our Europe Correspondent, James Reynolds, reports. | :00:40. | :00:48. | |
This morning in Brussels soldiers took the place of commuters. Taking | :00:49. | :00:58. | |
care to use the dear -- the zebra crossing during their patrol. | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
care to use the dear -- the zebra government has closed all Metro | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
stations in the capital. It has deployed forces to counter the | :01:05. | :01:05. | |
immediate threat of an attack. TRANSLATION: We have received | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
precise information about the risk of an attack | :01:11. | :01:11. | |
like the one in Paris. We are talking about a scenario | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
in which several individuals with arms and explosives could launch an | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
attack perhaps in several places. It may be that this man, Salah | :01:19. | :01:32. | |
Abdeslam, is involved. He is one of the Paris attackers and he is still | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
on the run. Police believe he came back to Belgium after the attacks. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
His Brussels neighbourhood, Molenbeek, was also home to another | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
of the gunmen. The area is under close watch. Brussels is normally | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
among the quietest of European capitals. But this city feels very | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
different right now. The government has instructed its citizens to | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
follow all official instructions and not to spread any rumours. The Metro | :02:00. | :02:08. | |
station is shuttered. To one woman's apparent disappointment. I | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
am not afraid, Miriam tells me. There is so much security, so we | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
feel protected. I'm not scared, he says. Brussels continues to receive | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
visitors. The Eurostar from London arrives on time. | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
We just want to go to be safe at home. Even the police is there, we | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
feel unsafe. Christopher Marlowe and macro is taking his wife and | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
four-year-old daughter for a birthday weekend in the city. | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
You have to do what you have to do. Brussels | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
You have to do what you have to do. place to be if there is a terror | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
alert going on. We can have people out there hopefully being sensible. | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
The Belgian government out there hopefully being sensible. | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
reassess its security level on Monday. Until then, some have | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
decided it is best to stay at home and hope for the best. | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
David Cameron has welcomed a UN call for all countries to join | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
The Security Council resolution urges that all necessary measures | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
Mr Cameron said the vote in favour of it was "an important moment". | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
The resolution was drafted by France in the wake of the Paris attacks. | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
The Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond says he hopes the House of Commons | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
will now back British air strikes against IS in Syria. | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
As the Prime Minister has said, we will go on making the case for a | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
broad response to the Isil challenge, political, military and | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
humanitarian. When we think we have got a consensus across Parliament, | :03:53. | :03:53. | |
we will put it to the vote. Our Political Correspondent, | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Iain Watson, Iain, are we a step closer to | :03:58. | :03:58. | |
a Commons vote? Yes, I think we are. The Prime | :03:59. | :04:08. | |
Minister has always been very clear. He is more concerned about a vote in | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
this place than at the United Nations. He wants to make sure he | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
has a decisive victory in favour of air strikes to send out a strong | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
message to Islamic State. He does think the UN resolution is | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
significant for two reasons. It may help him win over some wavering MPs | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
on his own side who did not back military action two years ago. | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
Secondly, and more significantly, it might give cover to a number of | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
Labour MPs to vote with the Government as well. I have been | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
speaking to shadow ministers. At the moment there is a veneer of unity in | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
the Labour Party because David Cameron has not come forward with a | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
convincing enough case. But they say they are willing to be convinced and | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
could end up voting with him rather than their leader, does they believe | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
no matter what the UN doors and David Cameron says, Jeremy Corbyn | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
will ultimately never back military action in Syria. | :05:06. | :05:06. | |
In Mali, security forces are hunting three suspects connected to | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
yesterday's attack on a hotel in the capital, Bamako, | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
Two militants were killed when special forces stormed the building. | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
The president has declared a national state of emergency. | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
Our Correspondent, Thomas Fessy, reports now from Bamako. | :05:22. | :05:31. | |
Mali woke up to a state of emergency this morning. But the streets of the | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
capital are bustling, people are going about their activities. | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
Driving through the city we cannot tell that the presence of security | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
forces has been stepped up. Having said that, there is much anxiety at | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
the entrance to some of the main hotels hosting foreign guests. The | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
search and checks of the clients is more of the row. And in some cases | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
cars are not even allowed inside the hotel compounds. At the Radisson Blu | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
Hotel, where the attack happened, investigators from Mali and France | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
are busy trying to figure what exactly happened. We know that there | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
were at least two attackers but we're getting reports that the | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
security forces now believe that three others were potentially | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
involved in the attack. Foreign embassies are busy trying to | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
identify some of the dead. Trying to make sure they have the right count | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
of nationals. What about the people of this country? Is the state of | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
emergency going to make any kind of difference? Probably not a lot. | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
Remember, for them it has been three years of a real jihadi threat coming | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
from the north. And so, three years that people have learnt to carry on | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
despite the circumstances. Four British tourists are | :06:53. | :06:53. | |
among seven people who've died after a helicopter crashed | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
on a glacier in New Zealand. Police said rescue teams had reached | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
the crash site, The area, which lies next to | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
the town of Fox Glacier on the remote west coast of South Island, | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
attracts thousands of tourists each Wedged between walls of ice, | :07:07. | :07:19. | |
wreckage of the sightseeing helicopter in which seven people | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
died. Rescuers winced down to the crash site found no sign of life. -- | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
winched. When the emergency services were alerted, four helicopters were | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
sent to the scene. But difficult terrain and poor visibility are | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
hampering the rescue effort. It is at the top of the glacier and it is | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
heavily crevasse. Ruff country. It will take a lot of care to get the | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
people out there. Among the dead is the pilot, a 28-year-old New | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
Zealander said to be an experienced flier. We do not know the identity | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
of his passengers. But the Foreign Office says the families have been | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
told. The Fox Glacier is on the west side of New Zealand's South Island. | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
13 kilometres long, it is one of the top tourist attractions in the | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
country. Thousands visited every year, with many reaching by | :08:12. | :08:12. | |
helicopter. The crash year, with many reaching by | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
feet up the glacier at the start of the tourist season in rainy, cloudy | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
weather. The cause of the crash is now being investigated, but it has | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
left the small community from where the flight took off in shock. | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
Obviously we are absolutely devastated. We are here to support | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
the families, the people involved. The recovery operation is expected | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
to resume shortly. Police say it will take time before the dead can | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
be formally identified. Caroline Hawley, BBC News. | :08:48. | :08:48. | |
A 15-year-old boy has appeared in court accused | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
of stabbing two teenagers at a school in south London. | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
The boy - who can't be named - is charged with attempted murder | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
and causing grievous bodily harm in the attacks at Kingsdale Foundation | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
He was remanded in youth custody until next month. | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
The government is preparing to allow local authorities in England to | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
increase council tax by 2% to cover the costs of adult social care. | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
The announcement is expected to be part of the Autumn Statement, | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
which the Chancellor, George Osborne, will deliver on Wednesday. | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
The French national anthem was played before every Premier League | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
La Marseillaise was played as a gesture of solidarity | :09:23. | :09:37. | |
and remembrance for those affected by the attacks on Paris. | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
More than 70 Frenchmen play in the Premier League, | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
making France the second-most represented nation after England. | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
There'll be more on that in the late news at 10. | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
But now it's time for the news where you are. | :09:52. | :09:55. |
