Hello and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

The extremist who's thought to have organised last Friday's massacre

Abdelhamid Abaaoud died when French police raided a flat

The French authorities believe Abaaoud was about to launch another

attack - this time on the financial district of Paris.

In a moment, we'll look at the security implications of

First, our Europe correspondent, Damian Grammaticas.

George, the news that Abdelhamid Abaaoud was confirmed to have died

in that raid comes as a relief for many here. What'll concern many is

the fact he was in Paris and, as we heard from people in the area, even

after the attacks last Friday coming he was walking around openly in that

district, seemingly feeling confident.

Sifting for clues, all day police teams have been searching for

clues. With the aid of DNA tests, they now know the man they were

hunting was killed here. It is not clear if he died as the police

stormed the flat or blew himself up. Speaking today, the French Prime

Minister announced the news to the nation.

TRANSLATION: We know today that Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the brains

behind the attack, or one of the brains, because we have to be

extremely cautious, was among those killed.

The death of Abdelhamid Abaaoud has also been confirmed on social media

sites linked to the Islamic State group. What made trouble French

police is locals in Saint-Denis was -- are saying he was seen openly

following the Paris attacks. It seems he felt safe and unconcerned.

This is believed to be his cousin, thought to be the woman who blew

herself up in the apartment. Upstairs was another man who says he

exchanged hellos with her. She was dressed in jeans and trainers,

nothing out of the ordinary. TRANSLATION: I could never have

imagined she was a suicide bomber. I was stunned after it happened. It is

scary. They could be anywhere. Seven men and one woman were arrested by

police during the raid. There is much evidence for French

anti-terrorist teams to sift through. Among it, new security

camera footage of the attacks on the cafes. Diners scramble for cover as

glass shatters all around. The attacker then walks up to the door

and he is gun jams as he tries to shoot a woman lying at his feet. The

man moved on and she made her escape. Inside, a minute or so

later, once the coast was clear, people emerged from under the tables

and in the corners where they had hidden. And, of the three suicide

bombers at the Stade de France, it seems one may have had second

thoughts. A new witness has told us a man was inside the restaurant, in

the toilets. TRANSLATION: I found myself face

with someone who was sweating all over his face, profusely. He looked

worried, anguished, like he was asking himself lots of questions. He

was staring at himself in the mirror. Seconds later, the man

walked out of the restaurant and blew himself up, outside but not

among the diners. The man who may have orchestrated such terror is

gone but the risks to France remain. The confirmation that

Abdelhamid Abaaoud was inside that building means that one threat

France -based has been eliminated. What it does not change is the fact

the general threat level for this country and right across Europe has

escalated dramatically, both in terms of the number of possible

attacks and their sophistication. The French parliament has voted to

extend the state of emergency The move will give

investigators greater powers to arrest suspects linked to

last Friday's terror attack. But the discovery of the ringleader

in Paris raises questions about how a man wanted for other attacks in

Europe managed to stay undetected. Our security correspondent,

Gordon Corera, has the latest Abdelhamid Abaaoud, a Belgian of

Moroccan descent, was the planner The French government said it was

not the first plot he was behind. Among the six attacks foiled or

avoided by the French intelligence services by the spring of last year,

he was involved in four of them. Abaaoud himself claimed

he narrowly escaped capture after this police raid in Verviers in

Belgium in January, which disrupted a major gun

attack and killed two accomplices. This may well have marked

a crucial missed opportunity to stop him planning and organising

another even larger attack. Abaaoud claimed he escaped

Belgium in January He then appears to have got back,

perhaps via Greece. The French Government said they knew

nothing of his travel until this Monday when informed by another

country's spies. His ability to travel in and out

of Europe undetected raises serious questions for France and all

of Europe. Failure to track him was

a costly one. Three teams attacked

and the investigation discovered three cars were used, all rented

in Belgium, the base for the plot. At the Bataclan Theatre,

a VW Polo was found. Eyewitnesses told the BBC they saw

a group of suspicious men in its This Renault was used

by the suicide bombers who attacked The last vehicle was abandoned, used

by the three-man team that attacked bars and restaurants. Inside were

three assault rifles. Two men who use a car are still on the run.

French security services have been using CCTV in form and bugging

phones. Phone records led them to this apartment, one of at least two

used as a safe house in the run-up to the attack. The raid in

Saint-Denis yesterday claimed that is my pick came after witnesses

placed him there and not in Syria. The cell may have been planning a

second wave of attacks. Today, the head of German security services

told the BBC that all of Europe should be worried.

TRANSLATION: The threat situation is very serious. We have to assume

something like Paris can happen any time, whether in Paris, Brussels,

Berlin or London. For IS, we are the enemy. Signs are that concerned in

Italy today where there was an alert on the Metro and after the American

FBI passed on warnings. Another sign of Europe, not just France, remains

on edge. Junior doctors

in England have voted overwhelmingly in favour of strikes in a dispute

with ministers over a new contract. 98% of those balloted

by the British Medical Association Turnout for the ballot was just

over three quarters of members. The strikes will take place next

Tuesday and then on December 8th Thousands of appointments, tests and

non-critical operations are likely The BMA says the Government had left

them no choice because The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt,

said the news was "very disappointing" but added that

plans would be put in place to make A strike by junior doctors in

England has moved a step closer. If it happens it will be the most

extensive action of its kind in the history of the NHS, affecting all

forms of patient care, including emergencies, on two of the three

days. Feelings are running high. One intensive care doctor recorded a

video diary of her 13.5 hour overnight shift. She voted yes. I

really don't want to see this progress towards a strike and I

implore the Secretary of State and the Department of Health to come

back to the negotiating table. The last sustained industrial action by

doctors was in the 1970s. But emergency care was still covered.

This time junior doctors in all areas will walk out. They say they

will be covered by consultants. What is the row all about? The key issues

in the dispute pay and working hours. On pay, Jeremy Hunt says

almost all doctors will be the same or better for three years. The BMA

says after three years most will be worse off than they would have been.

Mr Hunt said the current contract penalises hospitals that one to

roster more doctors at the weekends and they might be free to impose

longer working hours. We think it is a fair deal for doctors. We want to

talk about these proposals with the BMA, sit around the table. This is

the right thing for patients and doctors as while. It is a stressful

thing to work in weekends at hospitals for doctors. We want to

make sure they have more colleagues to support them, making sure they do

a better job for patients. The BMA says junior doctors already work at

weekends and doctors as while. It is a stressful thing to work in

weekends at hospitals for doctors. We want to make sure they have more

colleagues to support them, making sure they do a better job for

patients. The BMA says junior doctors already work at weekends at

A patient who might have waited a couple of months for cancer

treatment might have seen it postponed. Wouldn't that be a

devastating message? The key thing to understand is the Government has

left junior doctors with no alternative, other than proceeding

to strike action. We have been told that if we do not agree to

everything the Government once, the new contract will simply be imposed.

How do patients react to the strike vote? They do have reason to

strike. It will just be shown that we all suffer because of it. It is a

worthy cause. I do not know that striking is the way to go about it.

I do not know that people will suffer greatly, I hope. The BMA has

offered to go to the conciliation service, Acas, but they then need to

be preliminary negotiations first. A Libyan man been arrested on

suspicion of conspiring to murder the police woman, Yvonne Fletcher,

who was shot dead outside the The man, in his fifties,

was one of three people detained in London and south-east England by

police investigating her killing. Our home affairs editor,

Mark Easton, George, from a window in this

building behind me, what was then the Libyan Embassy, as you say in

1984, shots were fired into the square. 25-year-old WPC Yvonne

Fletcher was killed. A murder that would have long-term international

repercussions. Also a crime file that Scotland Yard has never

closed. Now detectives say they have made a significant breakthrough.

Until now, the murder enquiry has focused on who fired the shot that

killed Yvonne Fletcher. Detectives now say they have uncovered evidence

suggesting the killing was preplanned. Organised by Libyan

officials in London and orchestrated in Tripoli. A conspiracy to murder

and orchestrated in Tripoli. A conspiracy to police officers.

Scotland Yard have posted this footage from the time, focusing on

pro-Gaddafi demonstrators who are also outside the embassy. One Libyan

man was arrested this morning in South East England on conspiracy to

murder Yvonne Fletcher. Two other Libyans, a man and woman, are also

being held in relation to money-laundering. Investigators say

there in choir is continue apace. What we are appealing for critically

is for the pro-Gaddafi protesters on the day. They are the ones we need

to speak to. We believe they have critical information with regards to

this conspiracy. Scotland Yard described this as its biggest ever

social media appeal. Photographs of the pro-big Dave the protesters have

been posted on the internet. It has been 21 years since Yvonne Fletcher

was killed. The search to find those who planned and carried out the

murder has never wavered. Detectives tell us with new and fresh evidence

this case is entirely self above. The murder of Yvonne Fletcher saw

the embassy besieged by police was ever in days. Eventually diplomats

and others were allowed to leave and deported back to Libya including, it

had been thought, the killer. Today, detectives revealed new details.

There was a period of time from that point when the shots were fired to

any actual building itself was secured by police officers. In that

period of time, it is entirely possible that individuals could have

escaped out of the building. It was after Colonel Qaddafi's regime was

toppled in 2011 that detectives say they uncovered new evidence of a

murder plot. A police officer who was with Yvonne Fletcher when she

was shot says his colleagues are striving to keep a promise. I went

with her in the ambulance to hospital. She was still alive. I

said I would find out what happened and I would get those responsible.

Yvonne Fletcher's family said today her father recently died. His one

regret that nobody had been brought to justice for her murder. Justice

though may yet come. French authorities confirm that

the ringleader of last Friday's terror attack on Paris was killed in

a shoot out with police yesterday. Our reporter takes to

the skies to ask whether drones need Councillors in Edinburgh agree the

city's tram line should be extended, And the Aberdeen composer behind

The Military Wives' number one hit premieres his first symphony

in the Granite City. Imagine a time

when a simple scratch could kill. That's the awful scenario medical

experts fear after new evidence that bacteria are becoming resistant to

the last group of antibiotics that They say the risk of infections

could make routine surgery As our medical correspondent

Fergus Walsh reports, experts blame In the war against superbugs,

it is the bacteria that are winning. This hospital in India where I

filmed for Panorama is running out There is a long list

of antibiotics that Mohammed's bug It is really concerning,

in fact scary as the bug was showing For the first time we are

seeing this kind of report. Mohammed's infection was resistant

to a last-ditch antibiotic, In China doctors say they have found

more bugs that are resistant to it. That resistance is spreading

to other bacteria. The E.Coli bacteria will not be

treated by the antibiotics you have been

on before... This is not just a problem

for the developing world. Keith has been on a succession

of antibiotics in recent years His doctor at the Royal Free

Hospital in London is convinced the new drug resistant strains will

end up here and make matters worse. It takes about three years

for it to transfer around the world and about five

years before we see it routinely in our patients and we know that

because that is what has happened This type of transmissible

drug-resistant infection. To see this

in this antibiotic is particularly terrifying

because that will mean we will have That apocalyptic scenario is

a way off yet but experts say it is Modern medicine is utterly dependent

on effective antibiotics. Without them major surgery

and much cancer treatment would This is

an issue that matters to us all. Two thirds of all antibiotics

are used in animals. The new resistant bugs were first

found in pigs in China so curbs on antibiotic use

in farming are essential A report

into what caused the collapse of the HBOS bank in 2008 has concluded the

firm's former bosses were ultimately It's also recommended that

regulators ban them from working Our Business Editor is live

outside the Bank of England now. Yet another example of the behaviour

of bankers. Before the crisis. Yes. A

hard-hitting report and a pretty familiar story of bank management

obsessed with upset of growth and lending rather than managing risk. A

regulator too week and under resourced to effectively control the

banks it was looking after even after it was warned in 2004 that

each was done Mike HBOS -- HBOS was an accident waiting to happen. Why

does this matter so many years after the financial crisis? At the Bank of

England that might give reasons. The public paid hundreds of billions of

pounds bailing out the bank. The government are still paying the cost

of that. Thousands of small shareholders lost their life savings

when bank share prices collapse and they are taking legal action and

they case will probably be strengthened by the evidence in

today's reports. Peter Robinson is to step down as

Northern Ireland's First Minister and the leader of the Democratic

Unionist Party within weeks. He made

the announcement just days after a deal was agreed to secure the

future of the Assembly at Stormont. He says

the decision is not linked to the Our Ireland Correspondent Chris

Buckler reports. For decades, Peter Robinson has been

at the centre of politics in Northern Ireland, becoming First

Minister alongside old enemies. Those relationships have been tested

in recent months, but after weeks of crisis at Stormont, a deal has

secured power-sharing and he has chosen this moment to step down to

make his own personal fresh start. The Democratic Unionists may have

been seen as Ian Paisley's party, but for four decades Peter Robinson

has been one Margaret Thatcher would be

given very short thrift... The DUP presented itself

as the hardline of unionism, Yet Peter Robinson helped gradually

turn it from a party of protest to a party not just

of power but one capable I had

a good working relationship with him against the backdrop of both

of us having different allegiances. There were things we did not

agree about but there were many Recently the First Minister was

forced to deny claims made at a Stormont committee that he was to

benefit from a huge Irish property On a personal level, however,

it was the revelation of his wife's affair with a man almost

40 years her junior that hurt him. The father you get up the greasy

pole the more people want to bring you down. It is the notice I give to

whoever takes over the position. Do not expect a honeymoon to last too

long. You will become a target. Politics in Northern Ireland can be

vicious and few walk away without suffering bruises. The tour Robinson

can see he leaves Stormont more secure than it has been for some

time however it will be up to his successor to ensure that it stays

that way. Aerial drones,

they're unmanned cameras that allow The police use them,

so do film crews. But now more

and more amateurs are buying them. Tens of thousands have been sold

in the UK in the past year alone. But complaints to

the police have also soared. Now there are calls

for a registration scheme. This drone was being flown

near the Eurostar train line in Kent when it malfunctioned and landed

in this woman's garden. I hang the washing on this line and

came across here, this noise, and You had a really lucky escape,

didn't you? It could have been really nasty

if it had hit me on the head. It is not just flying drones

in populated areas that is causing Air safety figures show there

have been around 20 reports since last year

from pilots experiencing near misses One of those pilots is

a gyrocopter instructor. I was on a training flight

and suddenly it appeared in front of us as we came in to land so I

took the controls from the student and took avoiding

action and we managed to avoid it. You are an experienced pilot,

but you must have been very shaken. Afterwards, when you actually think

about what could have happened, In America and Ireland concern is

so great plans are in place to roll out a compulsory registration

scheme for anyone who owns a drone. It will mean irresponsible users

can be tracked down more easily. Alan McKenna from Kent University

has contributed to government studies on drones

and is calling for the scheme to be A registration scheme would require

those purchasing drones to identify themselves in terms of names

and addresses. They can provide

the regulatory authorities with that vital information they currently do

not have. The government says it will be

consulting on the safety of the growing numbers of drones

in our skies next year. You can see more on that story on

Watchdog tonight on BBC One at 8pm. I thought I would start with a calm

view taken in North Yorkshire but it is the coast of the UK east and west

that will be the brunt of roaring northerly winds this weekend with

the rough seas as mild at Atlantic air gives way to something called

from the Arctic. Even some snow in forecast for some of us. The showers

arriving later. Showers in Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern England

and rain coming back to southern England that might catch the London

area tomorrow morning. Countryside temperatures you might see a touch

of frost. Parts of south Wales, the rain clears away southwards. Turning

increasingly to snow on health as the cold Arctic air starts to move

on with the strengthening wind. That sweeps south across all. Snow in

Scotland not just on hills but significant on hills. When is

strengthening to 60 mph plus costs. Rain, sleet and snow down the

eastern side of the UK, even south east England could see falling snow.

It is not expected to settle at lower levels. Rain, sleet and snow

back. In-line some sunshine. You factor in the strong wind and it

feels like the temperature is below freezing so bitterly cold compared

with what we have had. Overnight widespread and more severe frost and

we have had recently. Nothing shocking about this sort of weather

for the time of year, just a shock to the system compared to what we

have had. That's all from the BBC News at Six,

so it's goodbye from me and on
