Terror in Nairobi - the siege at a Kenyan shopping mall continues -

:00:05.:00:09.

sixty two people are now dead including four Britons. Kenyan

:00:09.:00:19.

troops try to storm the building to stop the Islamic militants who are

:00:19.:00:22.

threatening to kill their remaining hostages. Images of the innocent

:00:22.:00:25.

caught up in the attack, families out shopping and children taking

:00:25.:00:29.

part in a cookery competition. A mother speaks to us of the chaos.

:00:29.:00:38.

The adults were animals. They were climbing on top of the kids to jump

:00:38.:00:43.

over the walls. I was trying to save all the little children. They kept

:00:43.:00:47.

stepping on the children. With the siege lasting over three days now,

:00:47.:00:50.

we'll bring you the latest from the scene.

:00:50.:00:52.

Also tonight: Rolf Harris appears in court charged with indecent assault

:00:52.:00:55.

of underage girls and making indecent images of children.

:00:55.:00:58.

The Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls says Labour would increase free childcare

:00:58.:01:01.

in England if it came to power, and signals a possible rethink on HS2.

:01:01.:01:06.

And how the latest report on climate change is expected to confirm that

:01:06.:01:09.

man is the main cause of global warming. Coming up in sport on BBC

:01:09.:01:19.

News, reaction from Sunderland as head coach Paolo Di Canio is sacked

after just 13 games and only three wins.

:01:24.:01:44.

Good evening, and welcome to BBC News. Heavy gunfire is still being

:01:45.:01:51.

heard in the Kenyan capital this evening, and flames are pouring out

:01:51.:01:55.

of the shopping centre where Islamist militants have been holding

:01:55.:02:00.

shoppers since Saturday. The security forces are trying to clear

:02:00.:02:04.

the gunmen from the Westgate mall in Nairobi. Authorities say 62 people

:02:04.:02:08.

have been killed, including four Britons. The militant Somali group

:02:08.:02:15.

Al-Shabab have claimed responsibility. Let's go live to

:02:15.:02:19.

Nairobi and join our correspondence. What is the latest

:02:19.:02:27.

there? It is calm here now, but make no mistake, this is still a siege

:02:27.:02:32.

situation. The soldiers behind me are taking a break, having a bite to

:02:32.:02:37.

eat, but today was the day that Kenyan security forces finally made

:02:37.:02:42.

their big assault. I have been here most of the day, watching these

:02:42.:02:50.

extraordinary events unfold. Day three. The siege is starting to feel

:02:50.:02:54.

like a waiting game. Soldiers and policemen passing the time of day.

:02:54.:03:08.

Then suddenly... Just afternoon, a shot rings out. Then a series of

:03:08.:03:10.

explosions coming from inside the complex. There is a series of shots

:03:10.:03:14.

ringing out now, just outside the shopping centre. We can see black

:03:14.:03:17.

smoke coming from the top of the building. We don't know what's going

:03:17.:03:24.

on inside, but certainly, this is the most action we have heard in

:03:24.:03:28.

quite a number of hours. The building where the gunmen are holed

:03:28.:03:32.

up is now on fire. Reinforcements have been brought in, including

:03:32.:03:37.

armoured personnel carriers. Government forces are engaged in a

:03:37.:03:41.

major assault to try and dislodge the militants. But the attackers are

:03:41.:03:46.

not giving up without a fight. A commander from Al-Shabab, the group

:03:46.:03:51.

that says it carried out the attack, told the BBC this morning that their

:03:51.:03:54.

Al Qaeda-linked forces are well organised and there would be no

:03:54.:04:00.

surrender. I am intact with them in the mall. -- in touch with them.

:04:00.:04:14.

Meanwhile, those who managed to escape are coming to terms with

:04:14.:04:23.

their experiences. This woman was hosting a children's cookery

:04:23.:04:25.

competition on Saturday when the gunmen struck. Her own daughter and

:04:25.:04:31.

son, aged 12 and eight, were injured in the attack. I had about 30 to 33

:04:31.:04:39.

kids with me. The shooting was going on. We were in the corner. Everybody

:04:39.:04:45.

bent down, because the adults were animals. They were climbing on top

:04:45.:04:50.

of the kids to jump over the walls. I was trying to save all the little

:04:50.:04:56.

children, and they kept trying to step on the children. Someone

:04:56.:04:59.

carried my daughter out. She was hurt pretty badly in the lake and

:04:59.:05:03.

she couldn't walk. Someone picked her up and took her out. I just

:05:03.:05:08.

stayed there to look after her. And then... We pushed the kids away. We

:05:08.:05:20.

ran towards each other. We heard some more firing so we thought they

:05:20.:05:25.

were about to fire at us, but it was the guys who had come in and were

:05:25.:05:29.

protecting us, so they were firing to keep them away. Government forces

:05:29.:05:33.

said they killed at least two macro militants during today's assault,

:05:33.:05:37.

but say the crisis is still not over. There is going to be running

:05:37.:05:47.

and hiding, but I confirm that we have fully cordoned the building.

:05:47.:05:54.

There is no room for escapes. The says its overriding concern is to

:05:54.:05:59.

get the remaining hostages out alive. People are now preparing to

:05:59.:06:03.

spend a third terrifying night inside.

:06:03.:06:10.

The authorities here say they have since killed another militant,

:06:10.:06:17.

bringing the tally to three. They have also arrested ten people in

:06:17.:06:21.

connection with this incident, though it is not exactly clear where

:06:21.:06:25.

they arrested them or what role they are suspected of having played in

:06:25.:06:31.

this hostage scenario. Meanwhile, that hostage scenario does

:06:31.:06:36.

continue, and this is still an ongoing situation.

:06:36.:06:42.

Thank you. There were thousands of shoppers in the Westgate shopping

:06:42.:06:43.

mall when the gunmen struck on shoppers in the Westgate shopping

:06:43.:06:49.

Saturday afternoon. People of many nationalities, including at least

:06:49.:06:53.

four Britons were killed or injured. Our reporter was one of the first

:06:53.:06:57.

journalists to arrive at the scene on Saturday. She looks at some of

:06:57.:07:04.

those who have lost their lives. A terrifying experience for those

:07:04.:07:09.

who escaped and those still trapped. Over the weekend, as the death toll

:07:09.:07:12.

who escaped and those still trapped. rose, it has become clear that the

:07:12.:07:15.

victims of this attack were from all corners of the globe. This is a

:07:15.:07:20.

place where foreigners and Kenyans come to blacks and to shop. These

:07:20.:07:27.

thick, insulated roof protects from the sun.

:07:27.:07:37.

Among the dead was a prize-winning architect with joint British and

:07:37.:07:41.

Australian citizenship. His company today described him as:

:07:41.:07:58.

Rose pop back -- Rose's fiance, pregnant with his first child, was

:07:58.:08:09.

killed alongside him. She works with the built-in -- the Bill Clinton

:08:10.:08:15.

health initiative. Others confirmed to have died include a poet.

:08:15.:08:25.

Regarded as literally -- as literary royalty in his home nation. The

:08:25.:08:28.

Canadian government has confirmed that one of its diplomats was also

:08:28.:08:33.

among the dead. Her husband was injured. With the number of

:08:33.:08:42.

casualties expected to rise, Kenyans continue to queue in their numbers

:08:42.:08:44.

casualties expected to rise, Kenyans donating blood. Tragic as it is,

:08:44.:08:47.

this incident has brought Kenyans together. We are multiethnic...

:08:47.:08:59.

Kenya's president announced at the weekend that his nephew was among

:08:59.:09:01.

Kenya's president announced at the the dead. He perished with his

:09:01.:09:05.

fiancee. This is an atrocity that has united in grief the whole of

:09:05.:09:10.

Kenya, as well as hundreds of families who have been affected

:09:10.:09:18.

around the world. The militant Islamist group,

:09:18.:09:23.

Al-Shabab, based in Somalia, says it is responsible for the attack. The

:09:23.:09:27.

brutality of the events at the mall in Nairobi has caused shock waves

:09:27.:09:32.

around the world. What can you tell us about this group? They are from

:09:32.:09:39.

the most dangerous militant group in East Africa, Al-Shabab. Literally,

:09:39.:09:44.

it means "the Lads" in Arabic. What do we know about this organisation?

:09:44.:09:49.

They are based in southern Somalia. Only about 8000 strong at most, but

:09:49.:09:53.

they have been able to cross over into Kenya and also to attack

:09:53.:09:58.

Uganda. Their members are mostly Somali jihadis, but they have

:09:58.:10:02.

attracted a number of foreign jihadists. They have been using

:10:03.:10:07.

online social media to publicise their attacks. One Tweet reads:

:10:07.:10:17.

Noticed the way in which it is written - English is clearly the

:10:17.:10:23.

first language. Another Tweet says: All of this presents Kenya with a

:10:23.:10:39.

major security problem. This is this country's biggest security headache.

:10:39.:10:43.

When this siege is over, difficult questions will be asked. The

:10:43.:10:47.

authorities will have to make difficult decisions about the

:10:47.:10:51.

security system. Across the board in Somalia, they will also have to

:10:51.:10:54.

consider the fate of the Kenyan troops in that country. Given the

:10:54.:11:01.

international aspect of this, are any Britons involved? Among the

:11:01.:11:06.

ranks of Al-Shabab's volunteers, up to 50 are believed to have come from

:11:06.:11:10.

Britain. The government here fears that some may eventually return to

:11:10.:11:13.

this country. Separately, a Briton, that some may eventually return to

:11:13.:11:19.

Jermaine Grant, faces trial in Kenya for possession of explosives.

:11:19.:11:23.

Another, Samantha Lewthwaite has been on the run there from the

:11:23.:11:28.

authorities. What do Al-Shabab want? They want a strict Islamic state in

:11:28.:11:35.

Somalia. They want foreign forces out. Three years ago, they carried

:11:35.:11:40.

out a double suicide bombing in Kampala to punish Uganda for sending

:11:40.:11:47.

UN backed troops into Somalia. Al-Shabab has always had this

:11:47.:11:51.

tension between those in the movement who want to see Jihad

:11:51.:11:56.

fought inside Somalia, and it is really all about what happens to

:11:56.:12:00.

Somalia. There are others who would like to create ties to Al-Qaeda and

:12:01.:12:04.

other terrorist networks throughout the Middle East and Africa, and he

:12:04.:12:08.

wanted to be more of an international Jihad. Despite these

:12:08.:12:13.

divisions, with this attack in Nairobi, Al-Shabab has hit the most

:12:13.:12:18.

powerful country in East Africa where it hurts. This may end up

:12:18.:12:22.

uniting Kenyans, but it has also exposed just how vulnerable the

:12:22.:12:26.

country is to hit and run attacks from a ruthless enemy.

:12:26.:12:32.

Let's take a look at today's other news. Rolf Harris has appeared in

:12:32.:12:36.

court to face charges of indecent assault of underage girls in the

:12:36.:12:41.

80s, and of making indecent images of a child last year. He was

:12:41.:12:47.

arrested as part of the Metropolitan Police's Operation Yewtree, which is

:12:47.:12:50.

investigating historic allegations of child abuse.

:12:50.:12:57.

Rolf Harris has been entertaining British audiences since the 50s. He

:12:57.:13:03.

is now 83, and facing a criminal trial. He entered his court -- he

:13:03.:13:08.

entered court with his wife and daughter, surrounded by journalists

:13:08.:13:12.

and photographers, some from Australia. He walked slowly into the

:13:12.:13:17.

dock, and one hand -- at one point, put out a hand to steady himself.

:13:17.:13:23.

The court heard that the case was of a serious nature, and would be

:13:24.:13:27.

transferred to the Crown Court. He is charged with assault against two

:13:27.:13:30.

girls, one aged 15 in 1980, and one is charged with assault against two

:13:30.:13:37.

in 1986. He is also charged with making indecent images of a child

:13:37.:13:43.

last year. His lawyers say he will plead not guilty. His arrest

:13:43.:13:47.

interrupted a career that has continued to flourish, on TV, as an

:13:47.:13:52.

artist who once painted the Queen, and as an entertainer. At a music

:13:52.:13:57.

festival in May, he thanked the audience for his support. These

:13:57.:14:00.

charges bring him public attention of a different nature. He has been

:14:00.:14:06.

granted bail, and the legal process continues with an appearance at

:14:06.:14:09.

Southwark Crown Court on the 7th of October.

:14:09.:14:13.

Labour says it will give working parents of all three and

:14:13.:14:18.

four-year-olds in England's 24 hours a week of free childcare if the

:14:18.:14:23.

party wins the next election. The announcement by the Shadow

:14:23.:14:26.

Chancellor will increase the levy on the banks. The Shadow Chancellor

:14:26.:14:32.

also spoke of weakening support for HS2, saying it would review the

:14:32.:14:35.

plans for the controversial railway line if they come to power. Today,

:14:35.:14:56.

Ed Balls promised Labour would spend line if they come to power. Today,

:14:56.:14:59.

£800 million more money, extending free childcare to working patient --

:14:59.:15:05.

parents with toddlers. They have both something to prove, that they

:15:05.:15:07.

can make a difference without simply taxing and borrowing a whole lot

:15:07.:15:09.

can make a difference without simply more. The Shadow Chancellor told his

:15:09.:15:11.

conference that delivering Labour's goals would be harder than ever. We

:15:11.:15:16.

won't be able to reverse all the spending cuts and tax rises the

:15:16.:15:20.

Tories have pushed through. We will have to govern with less money

:15:20.:15:23.

around, the next Labour government will have to make cuts, too.

:15:23.:15:28.

However, he said taxing the banks, hedge funds and people who live in

:15:28.:15:31.

mansions could pay for a very long list. Jobs for young people

:15:32.:15:36.

guaranteed, expanding free childcare... The longer he went on,

:15:36.:15:43.

the more he liked -- they liked it. Building the homes we need, that is

:15:43.:15:46.

what a Labour government could do. Let's together go out there and make

:15:46.:15:51.

it happen. They rose to their feet for that, but it wasn't long before

:15:51.:15:55.

they were reporting a very different message. A call for an end to pay

:15:55.:15:59.

restraint from the leader of Britain's biggest public sector

:15:59.:16:04.

union. If this is the cost of living conference, then the pay freeze must

:16:04.:16:08.

end. No ifs, no buts, a clear commitment to end a Tory pay freeze.

:16:08.:16:15.

That call for existing party policy was voted for overwhelmingly. But

:16:15.:16:19.

what has really got people talking here in the beautiful sunshine in

:16:19.:16:22.

Brighton is the sense that Labour might be about to break the

:16:22.:16:27.

consensus between the Reds and the blues, about building a high-speed

:16:27.:16:30.

rail line to link the south to the north. The project some fear is

:16:30.:16:34.

becoming an expensive white elephant. Ed Balls says Labour won't

:16:34.:16:42.

write HS2 a blank cheque. The question is not just whether a new

:16:42.:16:47.

high-speed line is a good idea or a bad idea, but whether it is the best

:16:47.:16:53.

way to spend £50 billion for the future of our country. Plans for

:16:53.:16:57.

another high-speed railway were launched under the last Labour

:16:57.:17:01.

government. The party says it is not changed its mind, but just listen to

:17:01.:17:06.

this. We would cancel it if we did not think it was good value for

:17:06.:17:09.

money and the costs continued to rise. On a day Ed Balls is trying to

:17:09.:17:14.

prove it can be trusted with public money, he's raised questions not

:17:14.:17:18.

just about the cost of High Speed 2 but the alleged benefits as well.

:17:18.:17:25.

You can't do a U-turn on a railway, but is that the sound of a train

:17:25.:17:27.

You can't do a U-turn on a railway, being slammed into reverse? Our top

:17:27.:17:38.

story... Kenyan troops tried to storm the shopping mall in Nairobi

:17:38.:17:41.

to stop Islamic militants, who are threatening to kill their remaining

:17:41.:17:45.

hostages. Police in Wales say they may have uncovered a modern day

:17:46.:17:53.

slavery ring. In Sportsday, three new faces are named in England's

:17:53.:17:59.

Ashes squad. All-rounder Ben Stokes joins batsmen Gary Ballance and fast

:17:59.:18:03.

bowler Boyd Rankin on the tour to Australia in November.

:18:03.:18:13.

The most recent international report on climate change, due later this

:18:13.:18:19.

week, is expected to confirm that human activity is primarily

:18:19.:18:22.

responsible for global warming. That is meant to warm oceans, melting

:18:22.:18:26.

snow and ice and a rise in sea levels. In the last 100 years there

:18:26.:18:29.

has been an increase in global average temperatures of 0.8

:18:29.:18:34.

Celsius, and further rises are projected. At what is baffling

:18:34.:18:38.

scientists is that for the last 15 years, temperatures haven't gone

:18:38.:18:45.

above the level recorded in 1998. The air we breathe is changing. It

:18:45.:18:51.

now holds more of the warming gas, carbon dioxide, than at any time in

:18:51.:18:56.

human history. And new records of temperature keep being set. Crops

:18:56.:19:01.

burned last year in America's hottest month ever. In China this

:19:01.:19:05.

summer, people were desperate to keep cool in heat that no one had

:19:05.:19:10.

experienced. So how much is the planet warming? Well, in this graph

:19:10.:19:15.

the red area shows computer simulations of the global average

:19:15.:19:20.

temperature. The white line is what is actually being recorded.

:19:20.:19:23.

Temperatures rising recently, until 15 years ago, for some reason, they

:19:23.:19:26.

paused. Decade on decade global warming is

:19:26.:19:36.

proceeding as expected. That said, within the last 15 years we've seen

:19:36.:19:37.

little warming at the surface. That within the last 15 years we've seen

:19:37.:19:42.

in itself is enough to tell us that the most extreme projections of

:19:42.:19:45.

warming over the next 20 or 30 years looking less likely, and that's good

:19:45.:19:50.

news. One explanation is that the sun is giving off less heat. Another

:19:50.:19:54.

is that industrial pollution is reflecting the rays of the sun. A

:19:54.:19:58.

third idea is that the oceans warming. Scientists have a network

:19:58.:20:09.

of devices are measuring a rise in water temperature. The deep ocean

:20:09.:20:11.

has without doubt warmed up since the 1980s. But the ocean is so fast

:20:11.:20:14.

that even 100 degrees -- a hundredth of a degree temperature chains is

:20:14.:20:17.

significant to the impact it will have on the atmosphere above it. So

:20:17.:20:20.

significant to the impact it will there are several babies by the

:20:20.:20:23.

warming of the planet has paused. The most plausible answer for many

:20:23.:20:27.

scientists does lie in the oceans with all of the different currents.

:20:27.:20:31.

But so far the evidence from the deeper still pretty sparse. So at

:20:31.:20:34.

this stage no one can be really sure. One blogger read by thousands

:20:34.:20:43.

every day has long raised questions about the pores. Andrew Montford

:20:43.:20:46.

accepts mankind is affecting the climate and says there's so much the

:20:46.:20:50.

scientists don't know. If they convert explain it then they should

:20:51.:20:55.

say so. People will learn from that, that there's a lot about the

:20:55.:20:59.

climate system that scientists don't understand. That is the truth and

:20:59.:21:03.

that is what the public needs to know. A major report on climate

:21:03.:21:08.

change is due on Friday. The scientists will try to explain why

:21:08.:21:12.

temperatures have forced, while insisting that global warming in the

:21:12.:21:19.

term remains a dangerous threat. The German chancellor, Angela Merkel,

:21:19.:21:23.

has spent the day trying to form a fresh coalition government, after

:21:23.:21:26.

winning her third successive term in office. She led her centre-right

:21:26.:21:30.

Christian Democrats to victory in the German election, but without

:21:30.:21:33.

securing an outright majority. She is now talking to her rivals in the

:21:33.:21:39.

Social Democratic Party will stop let's get more from Gavin Hewitt,

:21:39.:21:44.

who joins us from Berlin. How is Mrs Merkel's third term likely to affect

:21:44.:21:50.

Europe and Britain? First of all, Angela Merkel is still getting

:21:50.:21:53.

rounds of applause from her supporters. But she will need to

:21:53.:21:58.

build a governing coalition. Some soundings were taken today with the

:21:58.:22:00.

other parties, but it clear those negotiations will be long and tough.

:22:00.:22:06.

She did speak about Europe today and said, on Europe, we will not change

:22:06.:22:11.

course. What does she mean by that? That the combination of austerity,

:22:11.:22:15.

cutting spending, labour market reforms will have to continue in

:22:15.:22:20.

exchange for support. David Cameron picked up a phone and spoke to her

:22:20.:22:25.

and congratulated her. He is planning to renegotiate Britain's

:22:25.:22:29.

relationship with the EU, in order to do that he will need support from

:22:29.:22:33.

Over 100 officers who were involved in the raid at this site and two

others this morning, the culmination of a six-month investigation into

people trafficking and slavery. It is now an investigation that may yet

Today the officers took away another worker, originally from Eastern
