this is where at least 15 people were killed on the spot. After the

first burst of gunfire, hostages still do not know how many survived.

This man's testimony supports our evidence that the extremists had

extraordinary capability to control the shopping centre. Enough to repel

control. We kept feeding these explosions and spat it gunfire,

coming from different parts of the sporadic gunfire. Not much is known

about the militants themselves but we established be brought out heavy

weapons later in the siege. When rescue efforts switched from police

extremist group Al-Shabab said they would not name names. The agonising

wait for answers could last weeks. Now to a landmark report from the

UN, made public today in Stockholm. The inter-governmental panel on

climate change, the IPCC says it is 95% certain that the human influence

also climate change is continuing even though the surface temperature

has not been rising. Floods like the ones that tore through Colorado

has not been rising. Floods like the month will hit us more often, along

with other sorts of extreme weather. Regional details are still sketchy

but the UK will not escape the scientists say. The global patterns

will bring changes locally, changes in rainfall and temperature and

will bring changes locally, changes the weather for everyone. That has

implications for the way we use the weather for everyone. That has

elsewhere if we are to live with climate change. Supercomputers like

this one in the Met Office project the Gulf stream might weaken, making

the UK cool. People sceptical about climate change do not trust the

climate change models. We can never test the models until we have a

climate change models. We can never machine. Until we have a way of

jumping forward 100 years, we will never know forget it right. That is

nothing we can do about that. We can test the models for the last hundred

years and we can test them all the time for what is happening now. The

models predict the ice will continue to melt unless we cut fossils and

emissions. These protesters do not trust that governments will do that.

next three or four years. We will see whether the warming trend which

governments have decided to wait and see until some things happen. For

the time being, governments are see until some things happen. For

taking this seriously and are not at Lancing climate agenda. They have

dropped it from the international agenda. Generally, the factors this

report does not take into account the fact you cannot predict weather

patterns in the future, it says the fact you cannot predict weather

cannot confuse global warming with short-term weather patterns? Yes,

and you must not overplay what happens between one year you picked

and ten years later, it is the overall trend. If you look at this

century, it is clear temperatures are going up overall. The last three

quarter to hottest. This last decade has been the hottest in recorded

history. Couple that with the fact me know that these greenhouse gases

from cold, oil and spawning do this. This is the laws of physics. You

could uncertainty on top of that. Many of the sceptics are ideological

driven and do not want to accept what the scientists say they will

grasp at straws. When you hear what you just heard about the temperature

trends being flat, that is grasping governments are not worried about

straws? If it was just me, there would not be a problem. The reality

is more people and governments are realising that the more dramatic

predictions of strong warming are not occurring. The models did not

predict this pause in the warming and they cannot tell us how long it

will last. Some people say this might go on for ten years. If it

does so, the issue will be buried. that huge. It is not predicting

which we live. He talked about you not think it would be a good

idea if the whole world find cheap sources of renewable energy to do

away with fossil, that would be sources of renewable energy to do

for the planet and for the pockets of people? Absolutely. If we could

have cheap renewable energy everyone would go for it. The problem is

renewable is our two or three times more expensive at the moment. Energy

prices are going up and governments face a backlash. The public is more

concerned now about their energy bills than climate change. Thank you

consensus at the UN things get diverted? It was certainly the

result of a compromise between the United States and Russia. As you

mentioned, there has been real Council over Syria the last two

chemical weapons the US and Russia were able to agree that President

Assad had to give up his arsenal. We have come together to write this

resolution which will be voted on tonight which calls on President

Assad to eliminate his arsenal of chemical weapons. The compromise

comes in with a United States giving up on its request for a mention

certainly there has been an appetite persevered with this, but we have

been taken to the brink on many previous occasions. The difference

conditions are there, to find some Iranians are at the table in a

serious way because the sanctions geopolitical situation, the volatile

situation in the wider region will play into that, because you have got

the Arab spring, issues in Syria, and the Iranians do not want back on

their doorstep or in their own country, and you have moderates

Some of the day's other news now. More than half of pilots have fallen

asleep while in charge of a plane, a survey by the British pilots' union

suggests. Of the 56% who admitted sleeping, 29% said they had woken up

to find the other pilot asleep as well. The survey comes after it

emerged that two pilots on an Airbus were asleep at the same time. The
