Tonight at Ten, at least 69 people are dead and hundreds injured, | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
It happened in a busy park in Lahore, as thousands gathered | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
The Pakistani Taliban says it was responsible and that | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
Christians were deliberately targeted. | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
Riot police in Brussels use water cannon on far right protesters, | :00:25. | :00:33. | |
who'd disrupted a vigil in memory of the victims of last | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
Huge crowds line the streets of Dublin to mark the centenary | :00:36. | :00:44. | |
of the Easter rising against British rule. | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
One of the main teaching unions says schools have become "exam factories" | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
and SATs for 11-year-olds should be scrapped. | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
And Cambridge make it look easy, comfortably beating Oxford | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
in the men's boat race, but it's Oxford's women who triumph | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
At least 69 people have been killed and hundreds injured, | :01:02. | :01:30. | |
after an explosion at a busy park in the Pakistani city of Lahore. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Police say a suicide bomber detonated explosives close | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
to a children's playground that was full of families. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
The Pakistani Taliban says it was responsible, | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
targeting Christians celebrating Easter. | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
Our correspondent Shaimaa Khalil's report from Lahore contains pictures | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
This was where families had come to enjoy a Sunday in the park, and to | :01:48. | :01:59. | |
celebrate Easter. And this is where the devastation | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
hit. A suicide bomb, detonated in the middle of a crowded park. | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
Security forces and rescue workers were quickly on the scene. As crowds | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
gathered amid confusion and chaos. As the dead and injured were carried | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
to hospitals across the city, one man described how he had tried to | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
help. I carried 20 children to the ambulance to be taken to hospital. I | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
moved three bodied to a police car, at the time of the blast, the | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
children were playing at the ground. As the casualties arrived at the | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
city main hospitals, so too did relatives desperate for news. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
This this woman was among then. She had lost her two daughters in the | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
blast. My two girls were in the park, they | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
were both killed. We found one body. The other is still missing. | :02:59. | :03:12. | |
It is scenes of chaos here in one of the major hospitals in Lahore as | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
distress family members have been rushing in, trying to find out what | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
happened their relatives. The hospital workers have been trying to | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
tell people to clear the way so that ambulances can come in, and bring in | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
more casualties. We are surrounded by security force, who are trying | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
very hard to keep the area under control as the authorities outside | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
try to put together the pieces and find out what exactly and who | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
exactly was behind this attack. Shortly after, a group that split | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
away from the Pakistani Taliban said they had carried out the attack. The | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Christian community was the target. But it wasn't just Christians who | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
were hit. Dozens were killed and the number of dead is likely to rise. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
This attack, another violent reminder of the challenge facing | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
security forces here. And how vulnerable these soft targets are. | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
Shaima - this is the second attack by this group this year already? | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
Indeed, the first attack happened in north-west Pakistan on a courthouse, | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
it happened near the tribal areas, and it has been quite a violent year | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
so far here in Pakistan, in comparison to 2015, which went on | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
fairly quietly, 2016 went on to, got off to quite a violent start. This | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
attack, however, is different because it happened in the heart of | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
one of the main cities of Pakistan, Lahore and tar getted the Christian | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
community. Now, this is not the first attack on Christians here in | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
Pakistan, they have long complained that they have been targeted by | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
militants time and time again, and ignored by the authorities, so | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
questions will be asked what the authorities, what the Government is | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
doing, to protect Christians but on a bigger scale, the bigger picture | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
is time and time again the army, the security forces, and the Government | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
have assured people that they have security under control, so the | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
question is why these attacks still happen, at a devastating scale. | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
Police in Belgium have carried out 13 separate anti-terror raids | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
in the hunt for more suspects after last week's bomb attacks | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
at Brussels Airport and on the city's metro. | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
There have also been two arrests in connection | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
with the investigation, in Italy and the Netherlands. | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
In Brussels today, riot police had to use water cannon to disperse far | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
right protestors, some of whom were confronting Moslem | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
women paying their respects to the 28 people who died. | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
Our Europe correspondent, Damian Grammaticas reports. | :05:52. | :06:03. | |
Belgians of all creeds and colour - Muslim, Christian, Jewish and more - | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
They had been told not to march, so they gathered quietly. | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
But suddenly, the serenity was shattered. | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
Far right thugs seizing the opportunity for a moment | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
A couple of hundred had come from outside Brussels | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
to spread their anti-immigrant message. | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
When this man tried to stop them trampling the memorial, | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
Officers here are overstretched already by the terror alerts. | :06:34. | :06:48. | |
When the riot squad moved in, there were cheers, and the thugs | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
I am really shocked that a place of mourning, | :06:54. | :07:13. | |
of showing respect and those racists, I assume they are football | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
hooligans, they don't have to show up here. | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
The calm has returned here and people are restoring | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
the tributes they left here which were damaged, | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
but the scenes we saw are exactly what the Belgians want to avoid - | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
an increase in tensions following the attacks. | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
In Brussels's main Cathedral they paused too today. | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
The city's Archbishop said the attacks were | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
TRANSLATION: They attacked the very foundations of our society. | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
And the far right thugs gone, Belgians formed a human | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
Wanting to show they stand together, against both fear and racism. | :07:52. | :08:01. | |
This evening the police investigations are continuing too. | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
There have been about another dozen raids if Belgium so the tempo | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
keeping up. Four people still being questioned tonight, not just in | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
Belgium but the raids are taking place across Europe. In Italy, one | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
man has been arrested an Algerian who may have provided false IDs for | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
the attackers and in the Netherlands too, a Frenchman, a separate case, | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
but suspected of plotting a terror attack, also arrested there. | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
European police forces co-operating against the threats. | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
Hundreds of thousands of people lined the streets of Dublin | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
for commemorative events marking the centenary of the Easter Rising. | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
The failed rebellion against British rule in 1916 left almost 500 dead, | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
and eventually paved the way for the creation | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
Our special correspondent, Fergal Keane, reflects | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
A new Ireland looks back with a clear eye. | :08:56. | :09:09. | |
Today, there was no sentimental nationalism or revolutionary | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
romanticism, but a modern state remembering the idealism and trauma | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
Conscious of our troubled past, to you, God, we sing a new song. | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
A song of compassion, inclusion and engagement. | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
A song of listening, social justice and respect. | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
Over six days rebels fought against overwhelming odds. | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
Over almost 500 people were killed, the majority civilians. | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
The leaders of the rising were executed. | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
Those deaths helping to turn public opinion against Britain | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
and in support of a new armed struggle. | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
Over the General Post Office where the rebels made their stand, | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
5,000 relatives of those who fought were invited here. | :10:00. | :10:13. | |
John King's three grand-uncles fought with an Irish rebel | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
What happened, it certainly wasn't democratic, but on the other hand | :10:16. | :10:24. | |
they forced something that could have taken another | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
So yes, I do feel grateful for what they achieved | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
And I admire their bravery to take on the greatest empire | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
100 years after the rising, the united Ireland for | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
which the rebels fought hasn't been achieved. | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
But the state which emerged became a stable democracy, | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
culturally self-confident and sure of its place in the global community | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
of nations, and sends its peacekeepers all over the world. | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
In Northern Ireland, unionists remembered a young man | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
But here too, a sign of changed times. | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
Listen to the language of a senior unionist politician. | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
From what I've seen of what has happened in Dublin today, | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
I think they have made a huge effort to be inclusive. | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
I think it is important we do not stick our fingers in our ears | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
and sing la-la-la, and pretend these things never happened and hope | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
They happened, they impact on us today, and we have to face up to it. | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
In Dublin, two former women presidents stood beside | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness, applauding Irish soldiers the IRA | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
Volleys ringing across Dublin, in a republic | :11:40. | :11:54. | |
after the bouncy castle she was playing in was blown away | :11:55. | :12:05. | |
has been named as Summer Grant from Norwich. | :12:06. | :12:07. | |
Winds carried her across a park at an Easter fair in Harlow in Essex. | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
She was treated by paramedics, but later died in hospital. | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
A man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
Teachers have called for a ballot over testing in primary | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
Delegates at the National Union of Teachers conference in Brighton | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
say schools have become "exam factories" and the NUT wants this | :12:28. | :12:29. | |
year's SATs tests for 11-year-olds to be cancelled. | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
Ministers, however, say it's essential all children leave primary | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
school with a good grasp of English and maths. | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
Here's our education editor, Branwen Jeffreys. | :12:37. | :12:45. | |
End of term and a bit of dressing up for a project, | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
but these pupils in Brighton have spent weeks | :12:49. | :12:50. | |
The end of primary sats tests are different this year. | :12:51. | :12:59. | |
More arithmetic and much more English grammar. | :13:00. | :13:00. | |
Changes that teachers have been trying | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
There are three questions and you have to tick | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
whether the conjunction is used as a subordinating clause | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
And afterwards parents were saying to me | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
that they weren't sure which was which. | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
Actually, that went out for homework. | :13:17. | :13:17. | |
The SATs tests that year six children will be taken are meant | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
to be harder, the idea is to drive up | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
left some parents baffled and some teachers worried that the tests | :13:24. | :13:32. | |
For the first time this year, any child that | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
doesn't meet the expected level will have to resit when they get | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
Today at their conference, teachers said it | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
Passive voice, active voice, or, if you're a year | :13:41. | :13:48. | |
six teacher, parent or pupil, no voice. | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
That this risks setting some children up to fail. | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
argue it's about making sure they are equipped to succeed. | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
Were raising expectations, we don't apologise for that. | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
We need to make sure that our children leave primary | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
school as fluent readers, that their fluent in arithmetic | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
that they know their times tables and they are | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
being taught grammar for the first time in generations. | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
You use an apostrophe for the missing letters. | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
This year five class won't sit the tests until next year education | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
officials say they are working with teachers to smooth | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
In Syria, President Assad says the recapture of the ancient city | :14:25. | :14:33. | |
of Palmyra from so-called Islamic State is an "important | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
achievement" in the "war on terrorism. | :14:36. | :14:36. | |
Government forces say they now control the city after days | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
of fighting, backed by Russian airstrikes. | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
IS extremists overran Palmyra last May. | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
Religious and political leaders have used their Easter messages today | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
to call for hope in the face of terror and violence. | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
In Rome, Pope Francis said people shouldn't let fear imprison them, | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
a thought echoed in a sermon by the Archbishop of Canterbury, | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
Here's our religious affairs correspondent, Caroline Wyatt. | :14:58. | :15:08. | |
On a square bathed in sunshine, the pilgrims gathered to hear | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
a message of hope after a week in the shadow of death. | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
At this, the Easter celebration of the risen Christ, | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
Pope Francis reminded the faithful not to forget the migrants, | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
the men, women and children fleeing from war. | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
Then, from the balcony, he urged the faithful to use | :15:30. | :15:31. | |
the weapon of love, as Christ did, and fight the evil of terrorism, | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
TRANSLATION: May he draw us closer on this Easter feast | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
to the victims of terrorism, that blind and brutal form | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
of violence which continues to shed blood in different | :15:45. | :15:46. | |
It was a scene echoed by the Archbishop of Canterbury | :15:47. | :15:59. | |
Justin Welby said that after Brussels, hope could seem far | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
away, with fear and natural human reaction. | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
But, he told worshippers, Jesus Christ overcame death, | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
Easter proclaims to us in flesh and blood that fear and death | :16:11. | :16:22. | |
God has spoken life, hope and purpose. | :16:23. | :16:31. | |
The Royal family attended their Easter service | :16:32. | :16:32. | |
at Saint George's Chapel in Windsor, with a spring bouquet for the Queen | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
Every year, around 1,000 people, mostly women, are disfigured in acid | :16:36. | :16:50. | |
The assaults can be for anything - disputes over land, or the jealousy | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
The terrible scarring leaves victims often shunned by society, | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
but now a team of British and Danish medics has travelled to India | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
This report is from our South Asia correspondent, Justin Rowlatt. | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
The 13-strong medical team is preparing for a surgical marathon. | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
They will undertake more than 100 procedures in less than two weeks, | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
trying to improve the quality of life for people like Anupama | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
When I go out, I don't show my face, because people stare at me. | :17:20. | :17:29. | |
But when I am back home I take my scarf off and I feel normal. | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
Anupama is cheerful in spite of the terrible injuries | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
she suffered when she was doused in acid by a spurned admirer. | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
She shows me her most treasured possessions. | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
I was attacked three months after this photo was taken. | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
Around 1,000 people are reckoned to be attacked with acid | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
They are supposed to get free treatment but often | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
The idea is to make it easier for her to eat and drink and breathe | :18:05. | :18:17. | |
through her nose, and also to improve the way she looks. | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
You might think it would be depressing to operate on people | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
who have been deliberately disfigured, but the team say | :18:24. | :18:25. | |
they find their patients an inspiration. | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
She has said true beauty lies within her, not from the outside, | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
so she is not really feeling sorry for herself. | :18:34. | :18:41. | |
They are all volunteers working in their holidays, and paying | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
Sometimes when I work in the UK, if I am away, someone else will step | :18:45. | :18:54. | |
Here you feel you come here and you actually | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
I am sure she is is going to be quite pleased with the result. | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
Now her lip is up so she won't dribble when she is drinking. | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
And that will build her confidence and help her fulfil her ambition | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
to get a job, so she can take care of herself. | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
Meanwhile, up in the surgery, the team are already working | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
At the 162nd Boat Race, Cambridge's men claimed their first | :19:18. | :19:30. | |
win for four years in tricky conditions on the Thames. | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
In the women's race, Oxford made it four wins in a row. | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
It seemed anyone watching, never mind taking part | :19:36. | :19:45. | |
in the Boat Race would need oilskins and an anchor. | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
By the time the women's race started in its second year, | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
the skies were clear, but the wind kept the water turbulent. | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
In such conditions, it is about plotting a path as much | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
Oxford headed for the safe shallows, and Cambridge almost | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
By the time Oxford crossed the line, for a fourth straight win, | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
Cambridge were more concerned with staying afloat, | :20:08. | :20:09. | |
but they managed it and that was a form of triumph. | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
The men could use that as a cautionary tale for their race. | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
Cambridge had lost the last three, so made their move over | :20:17. | :20:18. | |
At times it became about hanging on and hoping. | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
These are not waters to give chase in. | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
Oxford fought their bodies and the current to stay in touch, | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
