I'm Alice Baxter with BBC World News. | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
Police reveal the massive haul of weapons found after America's | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
deadliest mass shooting for three years but still no motive. | :00:12. | :00:20. | |
14 people killed in California after a married couple open fire | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
President Obama vows that the police will get to the bottom of it. | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
It is possible that this was terrorist-related but we don't know. | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
It's also possible that it was workplace related. | :00:35. | :00:44. | |
The US Defence Secretary announces the opening of all military combat | :00:45. | :00:53. | |
To succeed in our mission of the national defence, we cannot afford | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
to cut ourselves off from half of the country's talents and skills. | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
We have to take full advantage of every individual who can meet | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
Oscar Pistorius faces a return to jail, after South Africa's Appeal | :01:03. | :01:17. | |
More arrests are made in Switzerland over multi-million-dollar bribery | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
allegations at Fifa on the very day it announces major reforms. | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
I am aware that the road will be difficult, the challenge is there | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
And the gene therapy breakthrough which | :01:30. | :01:41. | |
could prevent diseases being passed from one generation to the next. | :01:42. | :02:02. | |
Police in the Californian city of San Bernardino are still | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
searching for a motive to Wednesday's mass shooting which left | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
The suspects, a husband and wife, dropped off their six-month-old | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
daughter before arming themselves with assault rifles and opening fire | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
President Obama said the United States has a history | :02:19. | :02:30. | |
Well, within the last hour, the assistant director of LA branch | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
of the FBI, David Bowdich, gave a news conference in which he | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
went through what investigators know so far about the suspects. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
If you look at the amount of obvious preplanning that went in, the amount | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
of armaments he had, the weapons and ammunition, there was obviously | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
We don't know if this was the intended target or if there was | :02:45. | :02:54. | |
something that triggered him to do this immediately. | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
We just don't know and again that is going to take time | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
It appears he came back into the US in July 2040, as I said earlier. | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
I do not know all the countries he visited. | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
We know he did go to Pakistan at one point and we know she is here on | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
a K-1 Visa under a Pakistani passport. | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
Well, for the latest into the investigation | :03:18. | :03:18. | |
our correspondent James Cook has sent this report from the scene. | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
The streets, awash with police, hunting for a young man who had | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
gone on the rampage with his wife at a festive party. | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Syed Farook reportedly left the gathering after a disagreement, | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
before returning with Tashfeen Malik, armed with automatic weapons. | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
We have two suspects both dressed in black. | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
They went into the room and locked the door. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
I haven't tried to call her because I didn't want the phone ringing. | :03:54. | :04:04. | |
And so the hunt began and hours after the shooting parts | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
This is the second scene we are at now, around a couple of miles from | :04:08. | :04:18. | |
But just up that street, it was over the two suspects. | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
After a car chase through the city, they died here in a gun battle, | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
I don't know who was shooting who first but they were both | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
We work in the building and we hid in the back | :04:36. | :04:49. | |
Syed Farook was a 28-year-old American. | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
On an old dating profile he called himself a good Muslim looking | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
for a girl who liked snowboarding and would wear a hijab. | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
The FBI are asking the same question, | :04:58. | :05:08. | |
scouring the couple's home for explosives. | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
Terrorism is a possibility they say but so too is a workplace | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
Either way, the country he leads has by one count assume that more than | :05:18. | :05:29. | |
-- Either way, the country he leads has by one count seen more than | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
We are going to have to search ourselves as a society to make sure | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
we can take basic steps that would make it harder, not impossible | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
but harder for individuals to get access to weapons. | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
This tense and grieving city is still short of answers. | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
Why did a mild-mannered man and his wife spark all of this, leaving | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
Our correspondent Laura Trevelyan is in San Bernardino. | :05:52. | :06:05. | |
And what other details that came out of the press conference that the | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
police chief gave to journalists in the last hour was the huge amount of | :06:12. | :06:20. | |
weapons these people possessed. Yes, many details are coming out of | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
that press conference, not least now that there are a total of 21 people | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
were wounded after the shooting rampage. 14 people killed. At the | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
home of the suspects, police discovered 12 pipe bombs and 3000 | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
rounds of ammunition and they discovered the tools for making | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
explosive devices. In addition, at the scene where I am now where the | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
shooting took place yesterday at this community centre for disabled | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
people, the authorities found in the car belonging to the suspects 1600 | :07:00. | :07:09. | |
rounds. That is an extraordinary amount of ammunition. And more | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
details about the explosive device found in the centre. The authorities | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
described it as being one pipe bomb combined of three which was being | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
operated by some kind of remote control car device which apparently | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
had failed to detonate. So the level of preplanning which had gone into | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
this attack is shown by the sheer range of ammunition and explosives | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
discovered since the shooting happened. Staggering. One detail | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
which remains a mystery is the happened. Staggering. One detail | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
motive. Yes, law enforcement officials are saying little about | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
that in the past hour. The leader FBI official said it would be | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
irresponsible and premature to call this terrorism. They do not have the | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
motive still, said the weed or lease office. This is now an FBI | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
investigation which suggests authorities want to explore the | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
possibility this is terrorism. At the press conference, the officials | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
were asked if the male suspect went abroad and was radicalised and they | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
said they were looking into it. He said he came back into the US in | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
July 2014, having visited Pakistan among other countries. But still no | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
more answers and it could be a long time until there are definitive | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
answers and in the meantime this community is grieving for those who | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
died. We are told that later this afternoon the names of the dead will | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
begin to be released. This has issue of gun control back into the | :08:54. | :08:54. | |
spotlight. Thanks. The American Defence Secretary has | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
announced that all US military The historic move comes | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
after several years of study, and plans to wipe away generations | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
of limits on how and where women Women will now be able to contribute | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
to our mission They will be allowed to drive tanks, | :09:08. | :09:16. | |
fire mortars, and lead infantry They will be able to serve as | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
Army Rangers and Green Berets, Navy SEALs, Marine Corps infantry, | :09:22. | :09:31. | |
Air Force para jumpers and everything else that was | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
previously open only to men. Even more importantly, | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
our military will be better able to harness the skills and perspectives | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
that talented women have to offer. "No exceptions" was the | :09:39. | :09:50. | |
recommendation of the secretary of the Army, the secretary of the Air | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
Force and the secretary of the Navy, as well as the chief of staff of | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
the Army, chief of staff of the Air Force and Chief of Naval Operations | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
and the commander of Our correspondent Barbara | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
Plett-Usher is in Washington. It opens up more than 200,000 | :10:03. | :10:15. | |
positions to women which were formally closed. The secretary of | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
defence listed some of the things they will now be able to do. At the | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
same time, this has been happening gradually over quite a long time, | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
especially over the past three was, because in January 20 13th the army | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
lifted its ban on the final restriction on women serving in | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
direct combat ground rules. But then restriction on women serving in | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
the leaders of different military services studied how this would work | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
and to ask for and argue for those exceptions. Only the Marine Corps | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
asked for partial exceptions. The secretary of defence said that | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
because it is a joint force he had decided to make the decision across | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
all the forces and that is because mainly the US military had to draw | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
from the broadest pool of talent and couldn't afford to cut off 50% of | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
the population. He says it also reflects what has been happening | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
during the Iraq war, women fighting in fighter jets, submarines, and | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
paying with their lives, killed and wounded. Now they will be able to | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
officially apply for these roles which have been closed for them | :11:29. | :11:29. | |
before. The Paralympic athlete Oscar | :11:30. | :11:30. | |
Pistorius has been found guilty of murder after an Appeal Court | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
judge in South Africa overturned The athlete killed | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp The judge said mistakes had been | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
made in the first trial and that Pistorius must have known | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
that he would kill someone when he repeatedly shot through | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
a toilet door. He could now face a minimum | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
of 15 years in prison From Johannesburg Nomsa Maseko | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
reports. It is nearly three years since | :11:55. | :12:03. | |
Reeva Steenkamp was shot dead Today, the long wait | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
for her family was finally over. The accused's conviction and | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
sentence on count one was set aside Guilty of murder with the accused | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
having had criminal intent As they anxiously gathered | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
in the courtroom, one of the prosecution lawyers | :12:21. | :12:30. | |
hugged Reeva's mother. At least we have the truth now | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
and the right decision and the right judgment | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
and it is not up to me to say... They were South Africa's | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
glamorous couple. But in the early hours | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
of Valentine's Day 2013, she was killed in his bathroom | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
when he fired four high-calibre Pistorius denied intentionally | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
shooting his girlfriend, saying he believed he was shooting | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
at an intruder in self defence. The prosecution however argued that | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
he shot her in a fit of rage, The Supreme Court today said that | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
the athlete should have foreseen the consequences of his actions | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
when he opened fire, regardless By shooting through | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
a locked toilet door, the judge concluded he must have known that he | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
was going to kill someone. The judge also found there were | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
fundamental errors in how the trial judge interpreted the law | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
when she convicted Pistorius on a lesser charge of manslaughter, for | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
which he spent a year in prison. Oscar Pistorius will remain here in | :13:35. | :13:45. | |
his uncle's home on house arrest. Now branded a murderer | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
by the Supreme Court of appeal, the disgraced athlete will wait until | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
next year for resentencing to find It is unlikely that he will be | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
able to appeal today's verdict. He now faces | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
a possible 15-year jail term. British warplanes have carried out | :14:01. | :14:12. | |
their first air strikes in Syria Almost immediately after the UK | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
parliament approved military action, four Tornado jets took off from | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. The warplanes targeted | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
the Omar oil field in eastern Syria, Jonathan Beale reports from | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
RAF Akrotiri: This evening the reinforcements | :14:29. | :14:50. | |
arrived at RAF Akrotiri. Another eight jets. | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
This signals the rules have now changed, the border between Iraq | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
Last night, within an hour of MPs voting yes, | :14:56. | :15:05. | |
a pair of Tornadoes prepared for the first British air strikes in | :15:06. | :15:14. | |
Syria, loaded with 500lb bombs, it was a carefully choreographed | :15:15. | :15:16. | |
This is the second pair of tornadoes to leave tonight. | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
After that Commons vote authorised military action in Syria. | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
We have not been told the destination of these aircraft, | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
but we understand they will be flying over Syria | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
Their destination was the Omar oilfields, a source of funding | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
It was not that long before they returned. | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
The MoD said it was a successful mission. | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
This is the first pair of RAF Tornadoes, they have been flying | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
They went with three Paveway bombs and it looks like they've fired | :15:53. | :16:01. | |
I think as the initial operation, firstly it is a piece | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
of infrastructure and you can pre-plan it and | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
of course you would want a fairly big bang after a parliamentary vote. | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
There is low risk from the perspective of the pilots, | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
high gain from the perspective of the politicians. | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
These targets are part of a wider coalition strategy. | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
Cockpit videos released by the Pentagon shows US warplanes | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
hitting similar oil installations as well as tankers. | :16:30. | :16:31. | |
It is one of the main sources of income for the extremists. | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
But the Prime Minister admits it will take more to defeat IS. | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
We will need to be patient and persistent, this will take time, | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
it is complex and difficult what we are asking our | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
pilots to do, our thoughts should be with them and their families as they | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
These pilots will not be home by Christmas. | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
This bombing campaign could take years. | :16:55. | :16:55. | |
It will need more than warplanes to defeat IS. | :16:56. | :17:08. | |
Should scientists be allowed to do research which alters the DNA | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
It's a question being discussed by hundreds of scientists | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
from 20 countries in Washington at a conference on what's known | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
Our Medical Correspondent Fergus Walsh reports from the conference. | :17:18. | :17:32. | |
From the discovery of DNA structure by Crick and Watson, to the dawn of | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
IVF with the birth of Louise Brown, to the decoding of the human genome, | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
decades of progress in human biology means scientists can now alter the | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
very DNA that parents pass on to their children. Gene editing is | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
cheap, simple and accessible to scientists anywhere in the world. It | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
is like a molecular sat nav. It stands our DNA, reading the cold, | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
looking for the error. Then it uses molecular scissors to slip through | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
of strands, switching off a faulty gene or enabling a healthy copy to | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
be inserted. Both techniques have the potential to treat or even cure | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
genetic diseases. If gene editing was done in IVF embryos, that DNA | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
change would pass down all subsequent generations. In theory, | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
it could be used to prevent inherited conditions like cystic | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
fibrosis or Huntington's disease. Let your from three people, a | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
patient, ethicist tests, all with strong views. -- and scientist. I | :18:44. | :18:54. | |
will lose the ability to control my body. Charles carries the genetics | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
for Huntington's disease. It killed his father. His older brother now | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
needs 24-hour care. He says gene editing offers real hope. It is too | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
late for me but for generations to come this offers the priceless | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
possibility of putting an end to a disease which affects generation | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
after generation. But this ethicist argues it would be wrong to ever | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
allow gene edited the children to be born. It is too risky, we do not | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
need it, there are other ways to have healthy children, and it would | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
open the door possibly to a world of genetic haves and have-nots. We do | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
not need more inequality and discrimination. This man wants | :19:43. | :19:53. | |
scientists to be allowed to edit genes in embryos, but at this stage | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
only in a dish. He says cure is still years off. The ability to | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
manipulate specific genes and test what effect that has an cell or | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
tissue behaviour or organ behaviour, is really going to open up new | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
avenues of research and understanding how our bodies work. | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
Designer humans may be a long way off but these are designer dogs. | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
Chinese scientists edited versions as embryos and the result is they | :20:27. | :20:34. | |
have bigger muscles than other dogs. Modifying DNA raises profound | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
questions which scientists and society are only just beginning to | :20:40. | :20:40. | |
face. Now, a long time ago, in | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
a galaxy far, far away, two unknown 23-year-olds were cast in leading | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
roles in the new Star Wars film. The eagerly anticipated movie, | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
called The Force Awakens, features Our entertainment correspondent | :20:53. | :20:54. | |
Lizo Mzimba met them. There are stories | :20:55. | :21:03. | |
about what happened. The saga is part | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
of cinema mythology. For two relative unknowns, lead | :21:06. | :21:06. | |
roles that could perhaps propel So | :21:07. | :21:25. | |
for a few months I honestly didn't know whether I was coming or going, | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
whether I was going to lose the job, and then being surrounded by people | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
who really make you feel loved. I don't get recognised as much | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
as people make out to be for now, but then that is going to change | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
in a few weeks, but, yeah, It's just something that is | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
going to happen regardless. Daisy Ridley was making small | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
appearances in TV dramas and working in a pub | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
when she first started auditioning for a part which could be career | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
defining in all sorts of ways. Do you give much thought to | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
the fact that it's not a guarantee I think me and Rey are similar in | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
that, you know, she's just hoping for a better life, and I've been | :22:00. | :22:07. | |
so lucky with what happened before. When I did Casualty, | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
that was thrilling to me, John Boyega already has | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
a few smaller films under his belt. Filming this at Pinewood, | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
just outside London, alongside stars from the original | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
trilogy helped him feel at home. The funny thing about it is being | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
on this kind of like historical Hollywood set and | :22:27. | :22:28. | |
then, you know, walking downstairs and seeing the crew talk about | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
the latest episode of EastEnders. And as opening day approaches, | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
how nervous do you feel? I'm so used to | :22:39. | :22:48. | |
your voice talking about films, this is probably the most serious I've | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
ever thought, oh, it is coming out. Yeah, I guess it is daunting but I | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
just mainly want people to think I As football's world governing body, | :22:55. | :23:10. | |
Fifa, unveils plans aimed at cleaning up | :23:11. | :23:12. | |
the way it is run, two more senior Fifa's executive committee has | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
adopted reforms including restricting its president | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
to a maximum of 12 years at the top and tighter integrity | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
checks on senior officials. But what timing - | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
just a couple of hours earlier, Swiss authorities raided a hotel | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
in Zurich and detained two Fifa vice-presidents as part of | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
an ongoing bribery investigation. The BBC's Sports Editor Dan Roan, | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
gave me more details. These gentlemen are not household | :23:38. | :23:54. | |
names perhaps but they are effectively the two most powerful | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
foot all administrators in the American called federations. One of | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
the North Central American Confederation including the | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
Caribbean, and one represents this South American Federation. These | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
gentlemen were meant to be discussing the crucial reform | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
package you mentioned, which is seen by many as representative of Fifa's | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
attempts to rebuild public trust and confidence in it after a scandal | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
ridden few months, and another controversial proposal to expand the | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
World Cup to 40 teams by 2026. It is seen as something of a sweetener to | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
certain associations around the world to tempt them to vote for | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
reforms. Instead, those officials are in a ceric jail -- zero which -- | :24:44. | :24:58. | |
Zurich Jail. Reminiscent of the raids earlier this year. That set | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
off the chain of events which led us here. Sepp Blatter currently | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
suspended. Fifa is desperately trying to look forward but events | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
like today prevented from doing so. It has been a few months of scandal | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
to put it mildly. Many of people are asking if any amount of reform can | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
help Fifa or if it needs to be overhauled or replaced? | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
There are some who believe that it is so tainted it should simply be | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
wound up. It is similar to a failed bank and there is no hope for it. | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
Something new must happen, a new organisation or Federation will stop | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
others believe there is hope for Fifa and if reforms are brought | :25:55. | :26:00. | |

With Friday around the corner it looks like we are going to start the | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
day on a relatively quiet note will stop mostly dry but the winds will | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
strengthen throughout the day and eventually we will see some very | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
heavy rain arriving into the far north and west. We have rain | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
