Mohamed Abrini is thought to be one of a number of people | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
who've been seized in a Belgian police operation. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |

The key remaining suspect in November's Paris terror attacks, | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Belgian media is also suggesting that Abrini is possibly the "man | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
in the hat" seen on CCTV before the blasts in the Brussels airport | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
He's one of a number of people who've been seized in a Belgian | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
In a moment we'll be live for the latest from Brussels | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
but first this report from Damian Grammaticas. | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
He's been hunted since last November - Mohamed Abrini. | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
Belgian police say he is dangerous and believe he was linked | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
Mohamed Abrini, seen at a service station two days before | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
The car he was driving, a black Renault Clio, | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
was one of the vehicles he used to attack Paris. | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
The man he was with at the time was Salah Abdeslam, another | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
of the team that planned and carried out the carnage in Paris. | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
Salah Abdeslam, Europe's most wanted man, was finally detained three | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
weeks ago in the Molenbeek district of Brussels after also | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
Today's arrest is thought to have taken place in nearby Anderlecht. | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
Just yesterday, Belgian investigators released | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
this new footage of the Brussels airport bombing. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
It showed the third attacker, the so-called Man in the Hat, | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
who left a suitcase bomb and escape from the terminal, then | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
travelled six miles on foot into Brussels before he vanished. | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
It's been reported the new footage and the appeal for help to identify | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
the Man in the Hat lead to new tip-off from the public | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
which came just before today's new arrests. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
Let's go live to Brussels now, to our correspondent Gavin Lee. | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
Gavin, a big development, F ended this man is also the man in the hat. | :03:10. | :03:21. | |
Yes, what we have officially from the Belgian prosecutor as there have | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
been several arrests today in relation to these two attacks at the | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
airport and the metro station, two weeks ago. In the last hour or so, | :03:30. | :03:38. | |
state television and French police are quoted as telling news agencies | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
that this is indeed Mohamed Abrini. What do we know about him? He was | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
seen as a bit part player in the Paris attacks. He was seen two days | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
before the attacks. His car was used. He was seen with Salah | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
Abdeslam am heading for Paris. We were given details about his past | :03:58. | :04:06. | |
history. He had been to Syria. His brother was a former IS fighter in | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
Syria. He was wanted by Belgian police as well. He has not been seen | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
since. He has a connection to this missing man as well, this man still | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
not yet identified, known simply as the man in the hat. We believe there | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
is a relevance here to the images released yesterday by the federal | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
prosecutor of CCTV images which ensure a more complete image of the | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
man leaving the airport, with passengers trying to escape the | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
scene. We see him go through the car park and then Watford ten colour | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
matters for two hours and then we lose all trace of him. Local media | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
say this is the man connected to Paris and Brussels as well. We are | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
currently waiting on a press conference and will know the | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
significance of that very soon. There were a number of arrests. What | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
more do we know about the other people detained? The only details we | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
have and this is coming from a French and Belgian media, including | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
the state television, saying that other notable figures are somebody | :05:16. | :05:25. | |
from Maelbeek Metro station, is suspected suicide bomber who has not | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
been seen since. It is thought this is the man who may have bought some | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
of the bags for the bombers to use. You might be able to see some | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
footage which has emerged today of one of the raids. We are not sure | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
who this is but this is amateur footage, close to Molenbeek. This is | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
an undercover operation, police officers taking their man and | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
bundling him into the back of a car. As always, thank you very much. Keep | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
us up-to-date as and when we get more developments. Thank you. | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
Pope Francis has called for the Catholic Church to recognise | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
He says bishops and priests should be free to interpret doctrine | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
in ways that suit their own cultures in their own countries - | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
particularly in relation to marriage and divorce. | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
Our religious affairs correspondent Caroline Wyatt reprts from Rome. | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
The Catholic Church has often closed its doors on those living | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
Today in Rome, Pope Francis sought to open it a little, | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
issuing his guidance on how the Vatican should treat | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
At a press conference here this morning, two of the Pope's leading | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
cardinals revealed the contents of this keenly awaited document. | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
It came after much debate and some very public | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
Within the Pope's document on the family, the biggest change | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
Pope Francis suggests priests seek solutions that are best suited | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
He also wants more openness and a greater understanding | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
of what the Church terms "irregular situations", | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
But there is no change to the church's doctrine, | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
nor its views on homosexuality or ban on contraception. | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
So does this mean that those who are divorced and civilly | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
remarried will now be welcomed back to take Communion? | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
Those who want to be included in the life of the church, | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
the life of faith in the church, they are welcome. | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
The Pope often said let the doors of the church be | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
And he says the same to everybody who is in a difficult situation. | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
This document, over 250 pages long, is one of the most | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
significant to emerge from the Vatican in many years. | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
The title, On Love And The Family, is written in the distinctive voice | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
of Pope Francis and will set the course for the way | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
the Catholic Church deals with family life for many | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
We first spoke to this family in 2014. | :08:01. | :08:10. | |
They had high hopes this Pope would change the church's | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
My first reaction reading it was that, you know, | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
it was a little bit frustrating because there isn't a real change. | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
In the end, though, this popular Pope has shown himself | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
There is no radical reform here, as some had hoped, more a gentle | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
signal that all families, however fractured, | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
are welcome in his church and the doors are now open. | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
Now a look at some of the day's other news. | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
An American who was being held in Syria has been released | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
by President Bashar al-Assad's Government. | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
A US citizen had been released, according to the US | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
State Department, but no further details were given. | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
The Washington Post newspaper identifies the man | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
as Kevin Patrick Dawes, a freelance photographer | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
who travelled to Syria from Turkey in September 2012. | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
Chinese police have arrested a man in connection with a video that | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
appears to show a woman being assaulted in a Beijing hotel. | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
It's had more than two billion views online. | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
Police say they caught the 24-year-old in Henan province. | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
The hotel's parent company has apologised for the incident. | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
A former Scotland Yard police officer has been arrested in Lebanon | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
on suspicion of attempting to seize two children at the centre | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
Adam Whittington tried to take the children who were living | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
with their father in Beirut to bring them back to their mother, | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
It was all filmed by an Australian documentary film crew - | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
all involved have been arrested by Lebanese police. | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
Our Middle East correspondent Quentin Somerville reports. | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
Two children, just five and three years old, | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
on their way to school when they're grabbed by strangers | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
Their 70-year-old grandmother is knocked to the ground. | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
Today, Noah and his sister are back home, and they are safe. | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
Their Australian mum and Lebanese- American dad have been fighting | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
Wednesday's abduction was part of a plan by their mother Sally | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
to get them back to Australia. She is now in a Lebanese jail. | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
Their father says the children are traumatised. | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
Their first thing is why are Mummy's friends so mean to Grandma? | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
That's the first thing they asked me. | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
I'm just hoping it all pans out smooth and easy for Sal. | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
I can't say so much about all the other people involved in this, | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
And the rest of them, it's like, why are you poking | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
I mean, the law could have sorted this out. | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
Who are you guys? Are you guys law enforcers? | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
I need you to do something to help bring my babies home. | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
They are very loved and they are very missed. | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
This was their mother last year, asking the Australian Government | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
When that went unheard, she hired a self-styled child | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
Getting the children out of Lebanon without the father's permission | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
wouldn't have been easy, so the next part of the plan | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
appeared to be to bring them here, to this Beirut marina, | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
where a yacht was waiting to take them out of Lebanese jurisdiction | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
Eventually, the children would be taken back to Australia. | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
The yacht has been seized by the authorities and two British | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
men are being held by police, accused of being | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
An Australian news crew led by veteran journalist Tara Brown | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
They are also being detained and are this evening spending | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
The children have been pulled from parent to parent | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
Their mother and father's marriage has unravelled, which would have | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
been hard enough, but this personal disaster has now taken | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
Quentin Somerville, BBC News, Beirut. | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
In Myanmar, the new Government says that plans to release all political | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
prisoners are to be delayed until after the end | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
of the Burmese New Year holiday in ten days' time. | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
On Friday, 69 student activists had charges against them dropped | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
and almost all of them were set free. | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
Many of them had been in prison since March last year when protests | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
against education reform ended in violent clashes. | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
Yeah, this is the first real success story, if you like, | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
They've been in office just over a week. | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
Yesterday, we heard from them that they are going to | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
prioritise the releasing of political prisoners. | :13:13. | :13:24. | |
Today, they have managed to get the most high-profile group | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
of political prisoners in this country, these student activists | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
Some pretty extraordinary scenes they are today. | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
People singing and dancing in the courthouse itself. | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
Many of them have been imprisoned for a year, | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
with legal proceedings really taking a very long time to take place. | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
Miss Suu Kyi will be pleased herself that she is starting to see | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
some reward, some result from her new position | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
Laura Haigh is Amnesty International's Myanmar researcher. | :13:51. | :14:03. | |
We heard there that Ms Su Chi will be pleased. You please? Of course we | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
are. We are really welcoming of this release. The students have been in | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
detention for over a year. The fact they have been released today, one | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
week into a new Government, says a lot about their commitment to ending | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
the cycle of political arrest and imprisonment. Unfortunately, some | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
people are still behind buyers and it is time to turn our attention to | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
them. Of course, but the relief for those students was overwhelming. | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
Let's just have a look at that moment. So this is them listening to | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
the judge, and it's obvious that after a year in detention, as you | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
were saying, the relief is palpable, as we will see in a second. Yes, you | :14:46. | :14:57. | |
touched upon this. You hoped to see more. That's right. In the last | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
hour, we have heard that some of those who were not released today | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
have actually been released, which is wonderful news. What we need to | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
see now is those who have already been convicted to be released. There | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
are many dozens behind buyers still and this is where our focus must be. | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
We must really dismantle this repressive legal framework that has | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
allowed these individuals to be arrested and a detained behind | :15:23. | :15:30. | |
buyers for so long. You have got this repressive legal framework, how | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
do you dismantle something so historic? We have an excellent | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
opportunity. In terms of being actually able to reform laws, we can | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
see progress because of the Government majority. They have laws | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
which restrict free speech and which would prevent people from peacefully | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
protest in. It will take time, but we have seen positive moves already | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
that they want to prioritise this issue and we will see that a legal | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
reform process initiated in the coming weeks. What about the | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
military role? I think we have to be realistic. The military still plays | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
a very powerful role in the country, in addition to their role in | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
Parliament, the actually have oversight of some of the key | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
ministries. Particularly the Ministry of home affairs, which | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
oversees the police. There is going to have to be some kind of | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
relationship uttering the Government and the military. I hope there are | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
no spoilers here, it is early days. The new State Councillor's | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
relationship with the military, how crucial is that? Absolutely crucial. | :16:39. | :16:46. | |
They retain power over these key ministries. They have a veto over | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
constitutional changes and have a significant bloc in parliament as | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
well. We have seen the military react very strongly to any criticism | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
of the military institution by peaceful activists, and that is not | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
something... It is something we have to keep our eyes on. But for the | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
time being, those students finally going home. Thank you very much for | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
joining us. The Tibetan spiritual leader | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
the Dalai Lama has said the only way for the world to confront terror | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
attacks is through greater contact He was speaking to the BBC | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
in the wake of the Brussels attack. He also spoke about the challenges | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
faced by the Tibetan movement especially | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
with increasing Chinese pressure. The Dalai Lama was talking | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
to the BBC's Sanjoy Majumder. I think the violence in any | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
religion, we should make more closer contact with people | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
with different faiths. One of my commitments is to | :17:44. | :17:51. | |
try to promote genuine harmony. For that, genuine harmony | :17:52. | :18:03. | |
is the basis of mutual respect. The Chinese government has put a lot | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
of pressure on governments around the world to go slow | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
on the Tibetan issue. Do you think Britain is now | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
placing its business interests ahead of what you believe should | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
be its moral obligation? Great Britain is facing some | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
economy difficulties. New friends who have a lot | :18:28. | :18:36. | |
of money very important, Sometimes our world, | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
political power, including military power and economy power, | :18:43. | :18:59. | |
sometimes seem more That is the reality. In recent | :19:00. | :19:25. | |
months and years, you have spoken a lot about reincarnation. A lot of | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
people have reacted. Have you changed your views on reincarnation? | :19:30. | :19:42. | |
The whole system... That's gone. Democracy is the system. I myself am | :19:43. | :19:50. | |
fully committed to democracy. Therefore, this certain sort of | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
system, including religious institution, feudal system, is a | :19:56. | :20:07. | |
long time past. We must act according to the new reality. | :20:08. | :20:22. | |
Know some breaking news and some information on the leaked Panama | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
documents. Panama's presidents have agreed to stage a meeting in the | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
next few days with Finance ministers in Paris over these leaks. That is | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
one line coming from the Panama Government. And also, Panama is | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
saying it will take necessary steps to guarantee effective protection of | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
tax information between countries. That is all coming from the Panama | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
Government. Movement there to work out following that huge leakage of a | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
huge amount of documents from a company that was helping clients | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
with tax evasion. So we will keep you updated as and when we get some | :21:09. | :21:09. | |
more from that. Saudi Arabia's king has announced | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
that a bridge linking his country to Egypt will be built over | :21:12. | :21:13. | |
the Red Sea, connecting The King made the announcement | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
during his current visit to Cairo. He said the bridge would boost | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
commerce between the two allies. TRANSLATION: I have agreed | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
with the President of Egypt to build a bridge that connects | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
the two countries. This historic move, | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
which links the two African and Asian continents, | :21:35. | :21:36. | |
is considered to be a quantum leap which will increase trade | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
movement between them A new Hollywood movie, | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
Eye In The Sky, tells the dramatic story of intelligence officers | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
considering whether to target a village to prevent | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
a possible terrorist attack. It's filmed in South Africa, | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
but set in the Nairobi suburb of Eastleigh, which is nicknamed | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
"Little Mogadishu". And it seems not everyone | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
there is happy at the international attention, as Ferdinand | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
Omondi reports. Imagine going about your daily | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
business with an eye in the sky These people don't have to imagine | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
it, because Hollywood has made a film about drones hovering | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
over their neighbourhood. This mall in Nairobi's Eastleigh | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
is home to Eastleigh Wood, a production house making | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
films for a Somali audience. These Somali film-makers | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
are watching a preview of Eye In The Sky, a | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
Hollywood movie set in Eastleigh. In the film, American drone pilots | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
plan a strike on terrorists plotting a suicide attack | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
in the neighbourhood. Some of the film makers | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
wish the movie was made here in Eastleigh, | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
rather than South Africa. If we want to tell a story | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
about Somalis or Eastleigh, In terms of equality, | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
there are many are interested This is the Eye In The Sky view | :22:59. | :23:07. | |
of the real Eastleigh here in Kenya. It has a reputation of having very | :23:08. | :23:17. | |
enterprising people. It also has a reputation | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
of harbouring terrorists - something these residents | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
would like to change. Eastleigh Wood is trying | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
to tell Somali stories This is a trailer of | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
their latest release, Mistaken, We tell our stories because people | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
tell the negative side. In this film, we try | :23:39. | :23:49. | |
to tell the positive side. But Eastleigh's reputation | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
is not entirely false. Over the past few years there have | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
been several grenade attacks in the neighbourhood and police | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
worry about local links Security experts say Eye In The Sky | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
reflects a dangerous reality. It may look fantastical | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
or something far-fetched, I think if you live in Yemen, | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
if you live in Pakistan and if you live in Somalia, | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
that is a reality. It hasn't yet happened | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
in Kenya, but who knows? For now, though, | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
Eye In The Sky is fiction, and the people here hope | :24:29. | :24:30. | |
it remains that way. It was meant to be a romantic | :24:31. | :24:42. | |
marriage proposal, but in turned It all happened when a young | :24:43. | :24:44. | |
man in California, seen dangling from the end of this | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
rope, climbed onto a rocky ledge 27 metres from the ground | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
in order to pop the question Unfortunately, the man became | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
stranded and had to be Well, the girlfriend did apparently | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
say "yes" to the proposal, He was detained on suspicion | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
of being under the influence Local police said it | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
was a serious matter. Firefighters in Florida have rescued | :25:13. | :25:24. | |
a bear cub from a forest fire. The firefighters decided | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
to call the little bear Smokey Junior, after an iconic | :25:28. | :25:29. | |
American wildfire prevention icon. They say his paws were burned | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
and the hair on his head singed. They were fighting a 300 acre | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
brushfire in Lake County when they found the cub | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
and pulled him to safety. The rest of the fire was contained, | :25:41. | :25:54. | |
luckily. There is more as always on our website, where you can get in | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
touch with me and the team. For now, as always, thank you very much for | :26:00. | :26:07. | |
