This is BBC World News Today with me Kirsty Lang. Terror strikes at a | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
Christmas market in Belgium. Five people are dead and dozens injured | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
after a gunman opens fire and throws grenades in Liege. | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
Vital to life, but have they found it? Scientists report tantalises | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
glances of the list of Higgs Boson article. | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
Canada goes cold on stopping climate change - it pulls out of | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
the Kyoto Protocol which caps greenhouse emissions, Colin it | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
unworkable. It is now clear that Keele tour is | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
not the path forward to a global solution to climate change. | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
Anything, it is an impediment. Also coming up: His own party | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
chairs has British bulldog spirit, but across Europe, Prime Minister | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
David Cameron is accused of poor diplomacy. In politics there is one | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
golden rule - you only walk away if you are sure that the others will | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
come up after you to win you back. And offensive or inspired? The plan | :01:13. | :01:23. | |

skyscraper in Seoul that is bringing back memories of 9/11. | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
Fay hello and welcome. A grenade and gun attack in the | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
Belgian city of Liege has left five people dead, including a baby girl | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
and two teenagers and the attacker himself. Officials say 75 others | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
were injured. A man opened fire in a city centres where that was full | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
of Christmas shoppers, before killing himself. | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
They ran for their lives this afternoon. 1230 in a European city | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
centre. As rumours swirled that one possibly two or three gunmen on the | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
loose. Shots were fired in the main square, next to Liege's Christmas | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
market. And grenades were thrown. They were at least two large | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
explosions. It is very terrible. I am still shocked. I just saw one | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
man shooting people. And some explosion, two were three. All the | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
people ran from there to here. Some people went into the shopping | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
centre. Special forces won the city centre. Cutting it off and sealing | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
off office and shop workers indoors. The attack happened just outside | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
the main court house here. Many of the wounded were taken there. As | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
ambulances struggle to get to them in time. I saw in the market all | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
the people lying down bleeding. I stop my card to seek if I could | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
help some people. All the people must have gone inside. By this time, | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
it was becoming clear there was just one gunman. And now he lay | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
dead, just off the main square. He killed himself, the police said. A | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
33-year-old, he had previous convictions were gun and drug | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
offences according to local media. This evening the Belgian King and | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
Queen arrived in Liege to see the misery for themselves. Prosecutors | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
say they do not know yet why this happened. What everyone here does | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
not is that this was a day of panic, of death that few will forget. | :03:49. | :03:58. | |
Let us go live to the city of Liege. Has any more emerged about who this | :03:58. | :04:07. | |
gunman was? We know that he was a 33-year-old. He lived in Liege, | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
Nordine Amrani. He was known to police and has previous convictions. | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
He was due today to be having an interview with the police about | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
other matters related to drug trafficking. But clearly that did | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
not take place. He ended up in the square behind me, carrying out this | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
terrible attack. Shooting from a rooftop and throwing explosives as | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
well. We have heard from local media. It is believed five people | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
in addition to the gunmen are dead. A two-year-old baby has now died, | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
as has the 20-year-old. That is an addition to a 15-year-old boy, a | :04:48. | :04:58. | |
:04:58. | :05:01. | ||
17-year-old Beryl and his 75-year- old women. -- a 17-year-old goal. | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
Thank you very much. Also this afternoon at man in the | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
Italian city of Florence opened fire and killed two Senegalese | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
street vendors. He also winded four others before turning the gun on | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
himself. He was described as a far- right militants. Around 200 | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
Senegalese street vendors demonstrated after the shootings. | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
It is perhaps the toughest question in physics - how did the universe | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
start. Today scientists at the CERN laboratory in Switzerland say they | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
may be close to an answer. They believe they have found evidence of | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
the mysterious particle known as the Higgs Boson. It has the | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
nickname the God particle because it is thought to be the original | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
building block of the universe and explains why objects have last. Our | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
science correspondent reports on what could be one of the more | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
scientific breakthroughs of all time. | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
In an underground laboratory near Geneva, the world's largest | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
experiment is homing in on one of the greatest mysteries of the | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
universe. Firing particles through a circular tunnel, scientists are | :06:12. | :06:21. | |
closer to understanding the basic building blocks of life. This | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
afternoon, a long-awaited announcement.. Her we are here | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
today to hear the latest. Some of the brightest minds in physics | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
gathered in one room, comparing findings from two experience that | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
both point to the existence of a fundamental and -- fundamentally | :06:41. | :06:48. | |
important article that it remained hidden until now. We will get a | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
definite answer on the Higgs. We saw some tantalising hints today. | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
To explore how the universe works, scientists have delved deeper into | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
atoms and the strange world inside them. First there is the nucleus | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
with electrons orbiting around it. That has been known for over a | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
century. Inside the nucleus there are protons and neutrons. The | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
journey goes on, inside them are quarks and other minute particles. | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
But what gives these tiny thing substance or mass? The theory is | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
that the smallest particles travel through force called the pigs field | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
and they get slowed down by it. This is how the Higgs Boson works. | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
You cannot see but you can see how it gives particle substance. The | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
creation of matter. That is why these first answer so momentous. | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
Every particle in your body at every Montes interacting with this | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
field. It is like a cosmic treacle that permeates the universe. That | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
is what gives particles mask and that it ultimately gives us | :07:51. | :07:59. | |
structure. They come from two channels. One is a Higgs Boson. | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
This results are being examined by signed is all over the world. Here | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
are the students watch the events unfold. People have been waiting a | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
whole is for this. I feel this is a special moment. It is nice to be | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
part of the group that has had a big part in this. This | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
extraordinary machine is so vast they lent me a bicycle to go round | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
it. It has not given us a definitive answer. They may come | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
next year. But these detectors have revealed vital clues about how the | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
universe got started. I am joined by a professor Steven | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
Weinberg, the Nobel winning Prize physicist who first predicted that | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
Higgs Boson. How excited are you buy if what they announced today? | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
It is extremely exciting. It is always amazing when things that | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
were emerging out of mathematics and a theoretical way turn out to | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
exist in Riyait -- existing in the real world. I must admit that it is | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
always exciting. Did you expect to see this in your lifetime? Yes. I | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
expected it to see it earlier. There was a large accelerator that | :09:18. | :09:26. | |
was going to be built in Texas. Congress and this was done to | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
cancel the 1993. If that had been built, we would have seen this a | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
decade or so earlier. You were awarded the Nobel Prize for a | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
Theory there predicts the particle. Does this prove you're right, your | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
theory right? It proves that if this holds up, and we should add | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
that, it proves the simplest version of the theory right. Most | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
of the features of the Theory are well-established. There is a | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
fundamental cemetery in Nature that of unbroken would prevent any | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
particles, any element, from having masses. That symmetry has been | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
broken. This experiment, if it holds up, will confirm the simplest | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
idea of how that symmetry was broken. And how particles got the | :10:18. | :10:27. | |
masses. But we are not there yet? CERN have said we have seen hits. | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
Professor Higgs, after whom the particle is named, says he is not | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
cracking open the sound -- champagne yet. Is that them being | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
cautious? It is good to be cautious. Looking at the research articles | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
that CERN put out today, my guess is that the chance of this being a | :10:49. | :10:56. | |
statistical accident, a fluke, is probably less than 1%. But as every | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
insurance company will tell you, things that have a likelihood of | :11:00. | :11:10. | |
:11:10. | :11:11. | ||
only 1%, do happened about 1% of the time. Thank you very much. | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
Staying with his subject, I am joined by another physicist, | :11:15. | :11:24. | |
Professor Jim Al-Khalili from central London. I am going to ask | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
you that very difficult question - what does this all mean? Why should | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
we all care? To begin with, it is not going to lead to some sort of | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
technological breakthrough that will change are the peoples' lives. | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
This is part of putting the jigsaw together of how the universe is | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
made up. The Higgs Boson is the fundamental particle that explains | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
why all the other particles, all the older building blocks have the | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
properties they do. As Professor Steven Weinberg mentioned, the | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
theory has been frozen for some decades. Finally we have some | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
evidence a weak heart on the right tracks. -- have been proven. | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
Brian Cox said it's like some cosmic trickle doubles as | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
altogether. Someone said it is like a celebrity walking through a crowd | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
of paparazzi. There was a competition. Almost 20 years ago | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
for physicists to come up with that explanation. The celebrity who | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
walks into a room with partygoers, the more famous there, the more | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
there is a huddle of wannabes gathering around them. In particle | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
physics, the equivalent is the more heavier particle is, the harder it | :12:44. | :12:54. | |
:12:54. | :12:55. | ||
is from A to B. So, yes it is like treacle. Without it, all the | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
particles would travel at the speed of light. You can only travel at | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
that speed if you do not wear anything. But we know that some | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
particles are heavy and some are like. Why are they so different? | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
The Higgs Boson is the particle version of the field, the field | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
that permeates the whole universe explains why some particles are | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
light and some are heavy. So it fits everything into place very | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
nicely. And why is it called the God particle? This was a nickname | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
it was given some years ago by an American physicist in trying to get | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
across how important this article was to our fundamental theories. | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
Without it we would have to go back to the drawing boards and start | :13:39. | :13:46. | |
again. So the God particle is because it is a very powerful | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
explanation that helps describe the rest of the particles. They all | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
behave the way they do because of the Higgs Boson. It is a sort of | :13:56. | :14:04. | |
missing link thought. It is not the last piece of the jokes. If it is | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
confirmed, there are still more questions. There is still what is | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
dark matter are dark energy? There are plenty more puzzles to solve. | :14:14. | :14:24. | |
think I understand it a little bit The Russian President Dmitry | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
Medvedev has said the new parliament chosen in the election | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
earlier this month will have its first session on December the 21st | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
- that's despite allegations of fraud. In a meeting with party | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
leaders, Mr Medvedev acknowledged the complaints of malpractice, but | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
gave no indication that he was considering a re-run. | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
The Burmese opposition party led by Aung San Suu Kyi has been given | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
official permission by the government to re-register - paving | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
the way for it to re-join the political system. The party was | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
declared illegal after it boycotted last year's election, which was | :14:50. | :15:00. | |
:15:00. | :15:02. | ||
widely criticised as unfair and undemocratic. | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
Tunisia's new President Moncef Marzouki has said he will remain | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
faithful to the goals of the country's revolution. At his | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
swearing-in ceremony, Mr Marzouki said Tunisia was being watched as | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
"a laboratory of democracy". Tunisia's mass protests were the | :15:17. | :15:25. | |
trigger for the Arab Spring revolts across the region. | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
The Palestinian flag is flying for the first time at the headquarters | :15:28. | :15:35. | |
of a United Nations agency. It was hoisted at a ceremony at the Paris | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
office of the cultural agency, UNESCO. The admission of Palestine | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
as a member in October represented a symbolic victory in the | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
Palestinians' push for an independent state. It sparked fury | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
in Israel and the US. There's a confrontation in Papua | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
New Guinea between two men who both claim to be prime minister. Sir | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
Michael Somare was deposed in August while recovering from heart | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
surgery in Singapore. But Peter O'Neill, who replaced Mr Somare and | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
is recognised by parliament as the legitimate prime minister, has | :16:05. | :16:15. | |
:16:15. | :16:18. | ||
rejected a court ruling asking him to step down. | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
Canada has pulled out of the Kyoto Protocol on reducing emissions of | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
greenhouse gases. The announcement comes the day after international | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
climate talks in Dublin finished without agreement on a successor to | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
Kyoto which expires at the end of next year. Canada's Environment | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
Minister said that staying in the treaty would be harmful to his | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
country's economy. It is the world's largest car-borne | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
emitter, so China may not be the obvious candidate to lead criticism | :16:51. | :16:59. | |
of Canada's decision to withdraw from kilter. Hence, from the | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
Chinese foreign ministry, this response to the Canadian move. | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
TRANSLATION: Canada's decision to withdraw it is against the efforts | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
of the international community as - - and is regrettable. We also hope | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
cannot double face up to its two responsibilities. | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
But Canadian Government is unapologetic about its decision | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
which was saved the country billions of dollars in fines for | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
missing its Kyoto targets. They Kyoto protocol does not cover the | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
world's two largest emitters, the United States and China, and | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
therefore cannot work. It is now clear that Kyoto is not the path | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
forward for a global solution to climate change. If anything, it is | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
an impediment. The Government says it is still | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
committed to addressing climate change in a way that is fair and | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
does not harm the Canadian economy, but its move, the first formal | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
withdrawal from Kyoto, has been attacked by environmentalists and | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
opposition at home. Many see Canada's bombing past vans Industry, | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
opening the way to death vast oil reserves, opening the way to that | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
its move. Canada was already on the defensive | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
at the latest international climate change talks in South Africa which | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
a volley just concluded, but it says the deal which there is a way | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
forward, aiming for a new pact covering all the big emitters, | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
including China. The President of the European | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, as attacked David Cameron's use of the | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
veto at last week's EU summit. He said that Britain's demand to | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
exclude its financial institutions in the City of London had made an | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
agreement impossible, and it would have harmed the EU's internal | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
market. Gavin Hewitt reports. At the European Parliament, David | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
Cameron was today the man who everybody seemed to want to talk | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
about. His use of a veto to protect British interests has already drawn | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
comment from that French President and the German Chancellor. Today it | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
was the turn of the President of the European Commission to | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
criticise the British for demanding safeguards. | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
The United Kingdom, in exchange for giving its agreement, ask for a | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
specific protocol on financial services, which was a risk to the | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
integrity of the internal market. This made compromise impossible. | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
Downing Street denied the Prime Minister had any intention to | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
undermine the single market. But the prevailing view here at least | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
was that Britain was now on its own. It politics there is one golden | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
rule - you only walk away if you are sure that the others will come | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
after you to win you back. French member of the European | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
Parliament when father and demanded Britain be punished for acting | :19:56. | :20:04. | |
selfishly. TRANSLATION: I think the British rebate is now offer | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
question. Tax money should be spent on something other than selfish | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
nationalism. He was referring to the rebate negotiated by Margaret | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
Thatcher, and worth about 3 billion euros a year to Britain. Some | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
British MEPs saw the crisis leading to Britain's exit from the EU. | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
Britain is going to make the Great Escape, we will be the first | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
European country to get our freedom back. There are is no question | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
David Cameron and his use of the veto has irritated many people in | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
Europe. But increasingly other national | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
politicians in Parliament have raised concerns about the deal to | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
enforce budgetary discipline, struck here last week. | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
Back in London the Cabinet held its first meeting since the divisions | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
emerged within the commission over Europe. Although the differences | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
remain, David Cameron insisted the collision had been not been damaged. | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
The condition is very strong, and the condition came together for a | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
good reason, which was to put aside party interests and act for the | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
national interest, particularly when there are so many challenges | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
to a our economy. There are increasing doubts as to whether | :21:22. | :21:31. | |
last week's summit has eased the the eurozone crisis. | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
But is in Pakistan say they have freed almost 70 boys and men from a | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
religious school in the southern port city of Karachi. Many were | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
fined under grind in chains. The youngest was only seven years old. | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
Two clerics were arrested but ahead of the school managed to get away. | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
Pakistan's income a minister has ordered an investigation. Orla | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
Guerin reports. Descending into a torture chamber, | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
that is what local officials have called this basement. Still in | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
chains down below, the men and boys who police say were kept like | :22:09. | :22:16. | |
animals. Shackled, starved and beaten. It was known locally as the | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
jail to madrassa. For those trapped here, that is what it was. They | :22:22. | :22:29. | |
which tie us up, and chained asked 200 times. They were beating | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
everyone too much, and they would not give us any food. | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
The cleric insure charge of all this managed to make a getaway. | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
Police are investigating any links with militants, as some pupils have | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
claimed. Some -- so far there is no proof. | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
After they were freed from the madrassa, the students were led | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
away still chained together, because police could not find the | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
keys. Some were said to be drug addicts or petty criminals. Sent | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
there by their families for rehabilitation. Some parents even | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
provided the chains. Others were enrolled at the madrassa for a | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
religious education, some could not hold back the tears. Police say | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
children as young as eight were beaten and shackled for | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
disobedience. By day, parents gathered outside | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
the police station, some angry that madrassa was close. We are not here | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
to take our children back, this man said. We cannot control them. They | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
will start stealing and misbehaving again. | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
Their ordeal may be over, but these students will bear the scars. The | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
madrassa is the only option for many of Pakistan's poor. This one | :23:46. | :23:55. | |
was unregistered and unregulated, like thousands of others. | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
Architecture is often a controversial subject, especially | :23:58. | :24:05. | |
when a new building goes up. But plans for a new skyscraper in this | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
South Korea capital of salt have been dismissed as tasteless. Why? | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
Because many who have seen the design for the first time say it | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
reminds them of New York's Twin Towers being demolished by the | :24:17. | :24:26. | |
terror attacks on 9/11. Sol's city skyline, it never stays | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
the same for long, and it is getting harder for new buildings to | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
stand out. But this one has, before it has even been built. Two | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
apartment blocks linked by what developers called a pixelated cloud. | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
But which critics say it resembles the collapse of New York's will | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
trade centre during the 9/11 attacks. TRANSLATION: Went I heard | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
that, I was totally surprised and bewildered. It felt like something | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
out of a novel, and because this is just one of many buildings in the | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
development, I wondered whether it was a conspiracy. | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
So embolism in building design is important in South Korea. The front | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
gate of the main palace here was actually moved and rotated a few | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
years ago to wipe out changes made under the an old Japanese colonial | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
rulers. So the company says this latest row is not about | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
insensitivity, it is about different cultural perceptions. | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
TRANSLATION: Even if it does remind people of 9/11, there is no law | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
saying it cannot be built. TRANSLATION: I know there has been | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
criticism of this because it looks like the 9/11 attacks, but in my | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
view it is in a piece of architecture at and I think it is a | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
fantastic design. The apartment complex is part of a | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
flagship project to redevelop a major site in central Seoul. The | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
design will not be finalised until next year, but for now the | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
pixelated cloud is here to stay. But even some at the development | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
company admit they might feel differently if they were at New | :26:06. | :26:15. | |
Yorkers themselves. Be interesting looking building. A | :26:15. | :26:16. | |
reminder of our new its stories tonight. | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
A man has opened fire and thrown grenades from a rooftop in the | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
Belgian city of Liege, killing five people in a Christmas market before | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
killing himself. 75 others were wounded, some seriously. The | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
attacker has been named as Liege Western Nordine Amrani. | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
Scientists working at the CERN Laboratory in Geneva say they have | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
found signs of the elusive Higgs boson. They say they will have to | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
carry out more work over the next few months to find conclusive | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
evidence. That is all from the programme. | :26:50. | :27:00. | |

From me, Kirsty Lang, goodbye for This evening we are at in for wet | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
and windy weather, a company by gale-force winds. First this | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
evening, us no warning affecting Northern Ireland, Scotland and the | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
north-west of England. These tightly squeezed isobars mean we | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
could have some treacherous driving conditions, but also a band of | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
heavy showers sweeping through the South East of England, and | :27:25. | :27:31. | |
Wednesday's forecast yet again dominated by frequent heavy showers. | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
Many northern areas reasonably sheltered, but through the Midlands, | :27:34. | :27:39. | |
showers and a rising by the afternoon. Southern counties of | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
England are in the firing line to pick up a frequent heavy showers, | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
but it is likely as we head through the day for southern areas they | :27:47. | :27:52. | |
will mostly be of rain. Heavy showers across Wales, the risk of | :27:52. | :27:56. | |
the odd rumble of thunder, and perhaps a little bit of sleet over | :27:56. | :28:01. | |
the top of the high ground. Adding further north we are back into the | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
cold air. There is increased risk that the showers affecting western | :28:05. | :28:10. | |
areas of Scotland will fall as snow on the high ground, but nothing as | :28:10. | :28:14. |
