The capital of Belgium in lockdown tonight amid fears | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Troops are on the streets of Brussels; the authorities say | :00:07. | :00:17. | |
We have received quite precise information about an attack like | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
A state of emergency in Mali where security forces are | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
hunting at least three gunmen who attacked a hotel yesterday. | :00:28. | :00:36. | |
Four British tourists die after their helicopter crashes onto | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
And, in sympathy and solidarity with Paris, the | :00:40. | :00:51. | |
French National Anthem is sung at every match in the Premier League. | :00:52. | :01:09. | |
Soldiers and armed police are patrolling the streets of Brussels | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
tonight after the city was put on the highest state of alert. | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Belgium's Prime Minister said the authorities had information about | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
'the imminent threat' of an attack similar to Paris possibly involving | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
The Brussels Metro system has been closed, football matches have | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
been postponed, and people are being told to avoid large crowds. | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
From Brussels, our Europe Correspondent James Reynolds. | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
This morning in Brussels, soldiers took the place of commuters. | :01:42. | :01:56. | |
The government has closed all Metro stations in the capital. | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
We have received quite precise information about the risk | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
of an attack like the one that happened in Paris. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
We are talking about scenario in which several individuals with | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
arms and explosives would launch an attack perhaps in several places. | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
It may be that this man, Salah Abdeslam, is involved, | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
he's one of the Paris attackers still on the run. | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
The police believe he came back to Belgium after the attacks. | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
His Brussels neighbourhood, Molenbeek, | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
A troop carrier is parked outside the Town Hall. | :02:38. | :02:47. | |
Upstairs, on the balcony, a wedding party ignores the terror alert. | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
In the centre of town, shopping centres are largely empty. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
This weekend, the streets belong to this country's soldiers. | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
Brussels is normally among the quietest of European | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
capitals, but this city feels very different right now. | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
The government has instructed citizens to follow all official | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
instructions and not to spread any rumours. | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
One woman expresses her disappointment. | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
There is so much security, so we feel protected. | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
Brussels continues to receive visitors. | :03:35. | :03:45. | |
The 12.08 Eurostar from London arrives on time. | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
We just want to go to be safe at home because even the police is | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
Tonight, the police have told bar owners to shut down early. | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
The government promises to reassess its security level on Sunday. | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
Until then, many in this capital city believe it's better to stay | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
Christian Fraser is in Brussels for us now. | :04:08. | :04:19. | |
Christian, what atmosphere on the streets tonight? | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
The weather has not been too kind to us tonight but normally at this time | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
of the evening, particularly on a Saturday evening, this district in | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
Brussels would be heavings, the bars and restaurants would be full. Not | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
tonight though. You can see most of them are closed, the tables and | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
chairs have been folded away and the soldiers standing in strategic | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
positions around the city like they are at this Crossroads. Just at the | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
end of this street here, there is one of those Armoured personnel | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
carriers right next to the Christmas market which opens next week. Of | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
course, this is not sustainable. The businesses are already complaining. | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
You wonder what sort of message this sends to the terrorists. The | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
government is under enormous pressure. As James said, they'll | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
review the decision tomorrow afternoon. You suspect that they've | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
given the intelligence authorities the weekend until the beginning of | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
the working week to understand the threat and tray to eliminate it. Of | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
course, that means trying to catch Salah Abdeslam. Just to underline | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
the pressure that the Interior Minister, is under, he's quoted adds | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
saying today that he wants to know everything about that notorious | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
district of Molenbeek, even he said if that means the local authority | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
has to bang on every door and demand to know who is living there. | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
Jeremy Corbyn said there should be a David Cameron has welcomed a UN call | :05:42. | :06:07. | |
Jeremy Corbyn said there should be a negotiated end to the war. In the | :06:08. | :06:17. | |
wake of the pash Is attacks, Russia, China, the US and Britain backed a | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
French resolution at the United Nations. This called for combatting | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
search called Islamic state by all possible means. The government | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
believes this will strengthen its case for extending British air | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
strikes from Iraq to Syria. We will go on making the case for a broad | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
response to the Isil challenge, political, military and humanitarian | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
when we think we have got a consensus across Parliament we will | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
put it to the vote. The ayes to the right, 272, the noes | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
to the left, 285. The Prime Minister failed to get enough support the | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
last time he called for air strikes in Syria, on that occasion against | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
President Assad's regime. I get that and the Government will act | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
accordingly. He wants no repeat of that humiliation. Now to join the | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
fight in Syria, he went settle even for a narrow victory and will only | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
hold a vote if he's sure the vote will hold strength and not weakness | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
to IS. The third largest party in Parliament, the SNP say the UN | :07:25. | :07:34. | |
Resolution doesn't give explicit legal answers. Today it didn't sound | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
like Jeremy Corbyn was likely to support a military response. | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
Experience of Afghanistan Iraq and Libya has convinced many of our own | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
people that the enthusiasm for military interventions | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
multiplied the threats to all of us. He later sounded more positive | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
towards the resolution passed here at the UN after his Shadow Foreign | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
Secretary said this. It's for the at the UN after his Shadow Foreign | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
Prime Minister to make any proposition and then we, as the | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
Labour opposition, will be able to respond. Clearly the passing of the | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
UN Resolution is a very respond. Clearly the passing of the | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
go. . This country a veneer of, because most would say David | :08:13. | :08:13. | |
Cameron's not come up with a convincing enough case on Syria. | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
But, some Shadow ministers I've spoken to say they are at least | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
willing to be convinced even if that puts them at odds with their own | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
leader. On Monday in Paris, the Prime Minister will discuss | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
Counter-Terrorism with the French President. Perhaps a legacy of those | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
whose lives were cut short in the city will be greater unity in the | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
struggle against so-called Islamic state. | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
In Mali, security services say they're hunting at least three men | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
after yesterday's attack on a hotel in the capital, Bamako. | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
19 people were killed when gunmen stormed the Radisson Blu. | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
Mali's president has declared a 10-day state of emergency, and said | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
the attack underlines the global threat posed by Islamic extremism. | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
A day after they were attacked, hotel guests returned to the scene | :08:58. | :09:11. | |
A day after they were attacked, of the tragedy. They came to collect | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
their belongings and leave quickly. This was a siege that lasted ten | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
hours. Helping with the rescue operation, | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
French and US Special Forces. Many hostages were freed, among the dead | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
Russians and Chinese, one American. Jihadi groups linked to Al-Qaeda in | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
the north of the country claimed they were behind the attack. These | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
militants are engaged in the violent struggle, French troops and UN | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
Peacekeepers battled to to contain them. Today these pictures have | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
emerged showing the aftermath of the bloody rampage. Hotel guests | :09:56. | :10:03. | |
attacked in their bedrooms. One survivor, a chef at the hotel, | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
is still very shaken. I kept seeing people who were so badly wounded. | :10:10. | :10:19. | |
There were lots of injured people. Mali's President at the scene today | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
warned no corner of the world will be spared. These are men who do not | :10:24. | :10:31. | |
deserve to be called a man. They themselves decided to break away | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
from human tear as we know it. Our values are not theirs. -- human | :10:37. | :10:45. | |
tear. Children playing again like nothing happened but fear is | :10:46. | :10:55. | |
palpable here. No-one can tell if it's over. We are scared because we | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
live here. They said it was all over and they left but I don't like it. | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
If you just walked along the streets, you wouldn't know this area | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
was the scene of a mass murder. There's a strange mixed feeling of | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
eeriness and normality here, but what happened isn't normal and the | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
Radisson Blu is now abandoned to investigators working on a crime | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
scene. The people of Mali have been living in fear of Jihadi attacks for | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
a few years now. They have learnt to carry on in spite of tragic | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
circumstances. But all they ask is that their country keeps them safe. | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
Four British tourists are among seven people who've died | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
after a helicopter crashed on a glacier in New Zealand. | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
Police said rescue teams had reached the crash site but were hampered | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
The glacier, which lies next to the town of Fox Glacier on the | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
remote west coast of South Island, attracts thousands of tourists each | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
Wedged between walls of ice, wreckage | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
of the sight-seeing helicopter in which seven people died. | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
Rescuers winched down to the crash site earlier today | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
When the emergency services were alerted, | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
four rescue helicopters were sent to the scene, but difficult terrain | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
and poor visibilities are hampering the recovery effort. | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
It's at the top of the glacier and it's heavily creviced, | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
so very rough country and it's going to take a lot of care | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
Among the dead is the pilot, the 28-year-old New Zealander, | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
Mitch Gameron, said to be an experienced flyer. | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
We don't yet know the identity of his passengers. | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
The Fox Glacier, 13 kilometres long, is one of the country's top tourist | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
attractions, thousands visit it every year with operators offering | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
The crash happened about 2500 feet up the glacier at the start | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
of the tourist season in what's described as rainy, cloudy weather. | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
One local official said it was not ideal for helicopter flying. | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
The exact cause of the crash is now being investigated. | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
But it's left the small community from where | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
Obviously we are absolutely devastated. | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
We are here to support the families, the people involved. | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
The police say it may take days to formally identify the dead. | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
The Foreign Office says that the families of the four British | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
people killed have been told and that they're being given support. | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
The next step for embassy staff will be to help bring the bodies home. | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
At the moment though, the weather is so bad, recovery teams can't even | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
A 15-year-old boy has appeared in court accused | :13:38. | :13:47. | |
of stabbing two teenagers at a school in south London. | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
The boy, who can't be named, is charged with attempted murder | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
and causing grievous bodily harm in the attacks at Kingsdale Foundation | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
He was remanded in youth custody until next month. | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
Steelworkers have been demonstrating in Sheffield over cuts to | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
Thousands of job losses have been announced recently in Teesside, | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
Marchers urged the Government to stem the influx | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
Northern Ireland's First Minister, Peter Robinson, has given his final | :14:18. | :14:26. | |
speech as leader to the Democratic Unionist Party conference. | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
Mr Robinson, who's stepping down in the next few | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
weeks, said that during his time in politics Northern Ireland had | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
For me this political journey is coming to an end. | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
In the coming period of time the party will have a new leader. | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
I know how difficult a job this will be but I also know | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
how rewarding it is to be able to change things for the better. | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
My successor will face the sometimes ferocious rigours of high office. | :14:50. | :14:56. | |
It's not a task for the faint-hearted. | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
There'll be long, dark nights but believe me, morning does come. | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
Finally, the French National Anthem was played before every match in the | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
Premier League and Scottish Premier League today as a gesture of | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
solidarity and remembrance for those affected by the attacks on Paris. | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
It's an unfamiliar terrace tune but a powerful one. | :15:17. | :15:29. | |
As at Wembley in the week, English football rallies to | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
Particularly poignant moments for the Premier League's many | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
French players and managers, the Maseillais sounded across | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
This weekend, domestic football returned to France | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
for the first time since last Friday's attacks, but things have | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
Last night, before Nice took on Lyon, | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
Sport might be escapism but it can't escape everything and, | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
for those attending tonight's match at Manchester City, thoughts | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
of what began eight days ago outside another football ground. | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
So, when it came to playing the French National Anthem | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
before their game with Liverpool, City fans were united. | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
It's enormously important to sing out today, yes. | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
We have got to stick with the French, help them out. | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
It's an important thing to get out, it's important for the world to see | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
Solidarity between the two countries, yes, | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
Because football came so close to terror at the Stade de France, | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
Few here know the words to this anthem | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
Good evening. If you haven't enjoyed the sudden drop into winter, good | :16:49. | :17:16. | |
news, the icy winds the sudden drop into winter, good | :17:17. | :17:17. | |
lighter tomorrow but | :17:18. | :17:19. |
