:00:17. > :00:20.several people dead and many injured.

:00:20. > :00:26.Shoppers fled as a lone gunman armed with a pistol and grenades

:00:26. > :00:30.fired at a crowd including young children. I saw on the market all

:00:30. > :00:35.the people lying down bleeding between the glass. I stopped my car

:00:35. > :00:38.to see if I could help some people. As emergency services rushed to the

:00:38. > :00:46.scene, police revealed the attacker had a criminal record for firearms

:00:46. > :00:48.offences. But they rejected any notion of a

:00:48. > :00:50.terrorist link. We'll have the latest.

:00:50. > :00:53.Also tonight: At the Old Bailey one of the men

:00:53. > :00:57.accused of murdering Stephen Lawrence is heard using racist

:00:57. > :01:02.language in a police video. How James Murdoch WAS sent messages

:01:04. > :01:13.The world's biggest experiment brings us closer to understanding

:01:13. > :01:18.the secrets of the universe. think it is one of THE great

:01:18. > :01:22.scientific discoveries of all time, certainly of the last hundred years.

:01:58. > :02:00.Good evening. A gunman has opened fire on a crowd of Christmas

:02:00. > :02:04.shoppers, including teenagers and young children, in the Belgian city

:02:04. > :02:06.of Liege. He killed as many as five people and injured at least 120

:02:06. > :02:16.others. Officials confirmed the gunman was known to police with a

:02:16. > :02:17.

:02:17. > :02:20.record for drugs and firearms offences. But they denied there was

:02:20. > :02:25.any terrorist link to the attack. From Liege our correspondent

:02:25. > :02:30.Matthew Price reports. They ran for their lives this

:02:30. > :02:40.afternoon, away from the bustling main square where the killing had

:02:40. > :02:41.

:02:41. > :02:45.started, a city centre under siege, "Faster," she shouted, "Run!" As

:02:45. > :02:50.the most vulnerable ran for safety. I am shocked, still shocked. I saw

:02:50. > :02:58.one man shooting people, you know, and some explosions, two or three,

:02:58. > :03:03.and all the people were running from there to here. Seconds later,

:03:03. > :03:07.this was the scene. The gunman threw three hand grenades into the

:03:07. > :03:12.crowds - one at a bus stop. Several people died. More than a hundred,

:03:12. > :03:17.we're now told, were injured, some critically. And I saw on the market

:03:17. > :03:25.all the people lying down bleeding between the glass. I stopped my car

:03:25. > :03:30.to see if I could help some people. By now, nearby lay the gunman. He

:03:30. > :03:35.killed himself, the police said. He had previous convictions for arms

:03:35. > :03:40.dealing and drug possession and had been released early from prison.

:03:40. > :03:45.This morning, Imrani had been summoned for police for questioning.

:03:45. > :03:49.Why we don't know. He left his home in Liege carrying a backpack

:03:49. > :03:52.containing two guns and several grenades, then he headed for the

:03:52. > :04:02.city's main courthouse on the central square and on to the bus

:04:02. > :04:03.

:04:03. > :04:08.stop. For several hours today Liege was a city of unimaginable

:04:08. > :04:12.confusion and fear. Special Forces sealed off the main square, office

:04:12. > :04:16.workers huddled inside. This evening the Belgian King and Queen

:04:16. > :04:20.arrived in Liege to see the misery for themselves. At the scene of the

:04:20. > :04:25.attack, prosecutors say they don't yet know why this happened. What

:04:25. > :04:30.everyone here does know is that this was a day of panic, of death,

:04:30. > :04:34.that few will forget. We can talk to Matthew who is in

:04:34. > :04:39.Liege for us tonight. Are the officials there, police, able to

:04:39. > :04:43.make more sense of why this happened? Publicly, at least,

:04:43. > :04:46.they're not, no. They haven't given any motives. The Justice Minister

:04:46. > :04:49.this evening has said he doesn't believe this was a case of

:04:49. > :04:54.terrorism. He doesn't believe any mental illness played a part in

:04:54. > :04:58.this. The attacker was clearly known to this. He'd already been in

:04:58. > :05:04.prison back in 2008 after a large cache of weapons was found at his

:05:04. > :05:08.house. He was also in there on drugs-related offences, and it's

:05:08. > :05:12.believed he was being taken in or had been asked at least to attend a

:05:12. > :05:15.police questioning at some point this morning. Now, does that raise

:05:15. > :05:19.the suspicion, the possibility, that he was back on the police

:05:19. > :05:22.radar for some reason? Did they have him under surveillance? Were

:05:22. > :05:26.they concerned possibly that he might cause a threat of some sort

:05:26. > :05:31.to the public at large here in Liege? Those are all questions that

:05:31. > :05:33.will have to be answered in the coming days. But as far as the

:05:33. > :05:38.police investigation in the square goes, tonight it has been reopened.

:05:38. > :05:41.We know that David Cameron, the Prime Minister, has sent a message

:05:41. > :05:45.of condolence, spoken to the Belgian Prime Minister this evening

:05:45. > :05:49.to offer his condolences, and in hospital, some of those - over a

:05:49. > :05:52.hundred injured - some we understand are in a critical

:05:52. > :05:55.condition tonight. Thank you very much. Matthew Price for us in Liege.

:05:55. > :05:58.One of them, on trial for the murder of Stephen Lawrence, has

:05:58. > :06:01.started giving evidence at the Old Bailey. Gary Dobson denied having

:06:01. > :06:04.any involvement in the stabbing of the black teenager in 1993. The

:06:04. > :06:06.court was played secretly recorded video footage which showed Mr

:06:06. > :06:08.Dobson and David Norris, who also denies murder using obscene racist

:06:08. > :06:18.insults. Our home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds reports

:06:18. > :06:24.

:06:24. > :06:27.from the court. Gar gay, brought to court today by prison van, has been

:06:27. > :06:33.questioned by police, cross- examined in an inquest, and today

:06:33. > :06:38.he faced an Old Bailey jury. Before his appearance, a 1994 police video

:06:38. > :06:43.covertly filmed in his flat was shown on screens. Stephen's parents

:06:43. > :06:53.and the jury watched as he and his friends exchanged a stream of

:06:53. > :07:14.

:07:14. > :07:24.racist views, including more than In another section, Gary Dobson

:07:24. > :07:27.

:07:27. > :07:37.Under cross-examination, Mr Doe Dobson admitted he was both

:07:37. > :07:40.

:07:40. > :07:44.disgusted and embarrassed by the He told the jury while Stephen

:07:44. > :07:50.Lawrence and his friend Duane Brooks were being attacked by a

:07:50. > :07:53.gang of white youths close to this bus stop, he was at home in his

:07:53. > :07:59.parents' home nearby listening to music and playing on his computer.

:07:59. > :08:05.He stayed in his bedroom, he told the jury, until 11.45pm when he

:08:05. > :08:11.went around to his friends, the Acourts, to borrow a CD. They have

:08:11. > :08:16.also been investigated by police. The news of Stephen's murder, not

:08:16. > :08:19.far away, was beginning to spread. The prosecution alleges a tiny spot

:08:19. > :08:23.of Stephen's blood on his jacket proves he was involved. The

:08:23. > :08:27.defendant says he didn't like it and never wore it. Other forensic

:08:27. > :08:36.evidence was discovered on a multi- coloured cardigan. Gary Dobson told

:08:36. > :08:39.He was pressed why he denied to police knowing this man, David

:08:39. > :08:44.Norris, his codefendant, despite these surveillance pictures of them

:08:44. > :08:47.together. He said he didn't think David Norris had been arrested. He

:08:47. > :08:51.didn't want to give them a name they didn't have. The Stephen

:08:51. > :08:53.Lawrence murder trial continues tomorrow.

:08:53. > :08:56.The President of the European Commission has accused David

:08:56. > :08:58.Cameron of rejecting a compromise deal on offer at last week's EU

:08:58. > :09:01.summit. Jose Manuel Barroso said the safeguards demanded by Britain

:09:01. > :09:06.would have undermined the integrity of the single market and weren't

:09:06. > :09:08.possible. Downing Street said Mr Cameron had been seeking equal, not

:09:08. > :09:18.preferential, status for the UK's financial services industry. Our

:09:18. > :09:18.

:09:18. > :09:21.European editor Gavin Hewitt has more details. At the European

:09:21. > :09:27.Parliament today, David Cameron was the man who everybody seemed to

:09:27. > :09:31.want to talk about. His use of a veto to protect British interests

:09:31. > :09:34.has already drawn comment from the French President and the German

:09:34. > :09:38.Chancellor. Today it was the turn of the President of the European

:09:38. > :09:43.Commission to criticise the British for demanding safeguards.

:09:43. > :09:48.United Kingdom in exchange for giving its agreement asked for a

:09:48. > :09:51.specific protocol on financial services which, as presented, was a

:09:51. > :09:55.risk to the integrity of the internal market. This made

:09:55. > :09:59.compromise impossible. Downing Street denied the Prime

:09:59. > :10:05.Minister had any intention to undermine a single market, but the

:10:05. > :10:09.prevailing view here, at least, was that Britain was now on its own.

:10:09. > :10:13.politics, there is one golden rule - you only walk away if you're sure

:10:13. > :10:18.that the others will come after you to win you back. When you are

:10:18. > :10:23.invited at a table, either it is as a guest or otherwise, you are part

:10:23. > :10:26.of the menu, dear colleagues. French member of the European

:10:26. > :10:32.Parliament went further and demanded Britain be punished for

:10:32. > :10:38.acting selfishly. TRANSLATION: I think the British

:10:38. > :10:42.rebate is now up for question. Citizens' tax moneys should be

:10:42. > :10:47.spent on something other than compensating selfish nationalism.

:10:47. > :10:51.Solidarity is not a one-way street. He was referring to the rebate

:10:51. > :10:55.negotiated by Margaret Thatcher and worth about 3 billion euros a year

:10:55. > :11:01.to Britain. Some British MEPs saw the crisis leading to Britain's

:11:01. > :11:03.exit from the EU. What you have decided to head off on the Titanic

:11:03. > :11:06.towards economic and democratic disaster, and we're now in a

:11:06. > :11:12.lifeboat. Britain is going to make the great escape. We're going to

:11:12. > :11:16.get out of this union. We'll be the first European country to get our

:11:16. > :11:21.freedom back. There's no question that David Cameron's use of a veto

:11:21. > :11:24.last week has irritated many people in Europe, but increasingly, as

:11:24. > :11:28.time has worn on, other national politicians in Parliament have

:11:28. > :11:32.raised concerns about the deal to enforce budgetary discipline struck

:11:32. > :11:36.here last week. Even though the focus has been on

:11:36. > :11:40.the Prime Minister and the use of the British veto, there are

:11:40. > :11:50.increasing doubts as to whether last week's summit has eased the

:11:50. > :11:54.

:11:54. > :11:56.eurozone crisis. To examine the fallout, let's turn

:11:56. > :12:00.to James. More evidence today of tension

:12:01. > :12:06.within the cool significance That's right. Today the him demsecretary

:12:06. > :12:11.Chris Huhne said it's not good for Britain to be isolated. He said,

:12:11. > :12:16."Playing Billy no Mates is no fun and not protecting Britain's

:12:16. > :12:20.interests." Earlier in Cabinet he complained about how the Lib Dems

:12:20. > :12:24.in his view hadn't been consulted enough during negotiations. Clearly

:12:24. > :12:28.those tension still there. But although the coalition is bruised I

:12:28. > :12:33.don't get the sense it's spoiling for a fight. Both sides seem to

:12:33. > :12:36.agree Mr Cameron was right to try to protect Britain's financial

:12:36. > :12:40.services. Both sides agree it's right to go out there and try to

:12:40. > :12:45.smooth ruffled feathers in Europe. Today there is a poll in the Sun

:12:45. > :12:49.that seems to suggest that many people support David Cameron's veto.

:12:49. > :12:53.The usual Cavett caveats should apply. This is just within opinion

:12:53. > :12:55.poll. Think of it - the keafrts in Government that's just endured a

:12:55. > :12:59.national public sector, is try that's just extending its spending

:12:59. > :13:02.cuts by another two years and got itself in a fight in Europe is

:13:02. > :13:10.tonight in one opinion poll two points ahead of Labour - I think

:13:10. > :13:15.James Murdoch, the chairman of News International, was sent details

:13:15. > :13:19.three years ago that phone hacking was rife that the News of the World.

:13:19. > :13:23.He was copied into a series of e- mail messages that have now been

:13:23. > :13:26.released by the parliamentary committee investigating the scandal.

:13:26. > :13:32.Mr Murdoch's OSCE is confident that he did not read the full exchange

:13:32. > :13:35.of messages and was not aware of any widespread wrongdoing. -- says

:13:35. > :13:38.he is confident. James Murdoch, one of the most

:13:38. > :13:42.powerful figures in the British media, with his reputation on the

:13:42. > :13:46.line about what he knew and when about phone hacking at the News of

:13:46. > :13:53.the World. And it is the verdict of MPs at the Culture, Media and Sport

:13:53. > :13:59.Committee that he anxiously awaits. Here he is, denying to MPs that his

:13:59. > :14:06.colleagues made him aware of phone hacking into 1008. The one never

:14:06. > :14:09.happened was Colin Myler and Tom Crone showing me the evidence or

:14:09. > :14:17.telling me about widespread criminality. To UMPIRE: Game there

:14:17. > :14:24.is new evidence in the form of an email stream.

:14:24. > :14:27.-- today. There is an allegation that phone hacking is rife at the

:14:27. > :14:34.News of the World at the bottom of these emails. It looks at the

:14:34. > :14:39.nightmare scenario, the transcript known as the For Neville email,

:14:39. > :14:44.saying that phone hacking was wider than they had initially admitted.

:14:44. > :14:49.The then editor of the News of the World, Colin Myler, then writes to

:14:49. > :14:53.James Murdoch to say it is as bad as they feared. Today James Murdoch

:14:53. > :14:58.says that he did not read the explosive stuff at the bottom of

:14:58. > :15:03.that emails Green, because he got it on a Saturday, probably on his

:15:03. > :15:08.Blackberry, and instead arranged to have a meeting about it. What is

:15:08. > :15:12.the judgment of the Select Committee? This is more evidence

:15:12. > :15:17.that James Murdoch is at best negligent. Not reading a serious

:15:17. > :15:21.emails brought to you by your editors and lawyers strikes me as

:15:21. > :15:26.being pretty stupid. I am sure that the committee will reflect that in

:15:26. > :15:30.its report. Today James Murdoch reaffirmed his testimony that until

:15:30. > :15:34.a year ago he was not aware of widespread phone hacking. But in

:15:34. > :15:40.insisting that he has not misled MPs, he has raised questions about

:15:40. > :15:45.his diligence as a manager. There has been a slight fall in the

:15:45. > :15:50.rate of inflation according to the Government's preferred measure, the

:15:50. > :15:58.consumer prices index. It was down in November to 4.8%, compared with

:15:58. > :16:02.5% in October. That is still well above the official target of 2%.

:16:02. > :16:07.For hard-pressed households and the countdown to Christmas, it is a key

:16:07. > :16:11.question. What is the cost of living? It was up 4.8% over the

:16:11. > :16:15.year to November. And what is happening at this Sheffield cutlery

:16:15. > :16:19.maker illustrates the problems caused by inflation. Costs

:16:19. > :16:25.including energy and metals have gone up a lot. The company feels it

:16:25. > :16:28.cannot pass on those costs to customers and so has that to freeze

:16:28. > :16:35.the wages of their staff. That means that workers like Jim

:16:35. > :16:40.Stringer have suffered with their wages frozen but the cost of living

:16:40. > :16:44.going up by about 5% annually. He and his wife are finding it hard to

:16:44. > :16:47.make the sums add up for their family budget. I do go to the

:16:47. > :16:53.supermarket and if something has suddenly jumped by 20 pence, I do

:16:53. > :16:58.not buy it. Simple as that. I look for an alternative or I cut it out,

:16:58. > :17:05.basically. We don't seem to have a pot of savings for if there is a

:17:05. > :17:08.problem, such as reduced hours at work, or being made redundant. I

:17:09. > :17:13.would be very concerned about how we would actually cover the costs

:17:13. > :17:18.and the mortgage. The annual rate of inflation has fallen a bit. That

:17:18. > :17:27.is partly because bread prices were down 1% over the month. Other food

:17:27. > :17:30.prices were up, with meet up by 1.6%. Petrol prices were lower by

:17:30. > :17:33.0.4% over the month. There is no doubt that shoppers will continue

:17:33. > :17:36.to experience the squeeze on spending power in the run-up to

:17:36. > :17:41.Christmas and the latest drop in inflation is not much consolation.

:17:41. > :17:46.Looking beyond the new year, the trend is likely to continue. Most

:17:46. > :17:49.economists expect inflation to fall rapidly throughout 2012. We are not

:17:49. > :17:54.going to see a repeat of a hike in VAT which we saw at the beginning

:17:54. > :17:58.of this year. In addition to that, the commodity price increases which

:17:58. > :18:04.have played a major part have flattened out. Through it inflation

:18:04. > :18:11.is likely to fall and so is packed full price inflation. -- food

:18:11. > :18:14.inflation. So is petrol price inflation. For many people at

:18:14. > :18:19.Christmas shopping, the prices will still seems steep.

:18:19. > :18:27.Coming up: The crisis on the High Street and what can be done to

:18:27. > :18:30.revive our town centres. Researchers at the Centre for

:18:30. > :18:35.Nuclear Research near Geneva say they have found tantalising hints

:18:35. > :18:41.of the elusive Higgs boson particle, whose existence might help explain

:18:41. > :18:45.the workings of the universe. When Peter Higgs suggested the existence

:18:45. > :18:49.of this particle half-a-century ago his ideas were dismissed.

:18:49. > :18:53.Researchers in Geneva say they are now on the verge of entering a new

:18:54. > :18:58.age in scientific advance. In an underground laboratory near

:18:58. > :19:01.Geneva, the world's largest experiment is honing in on one of

:19:01. > :19:05.the greatest mysteries of the universe. Firing particles through

:19:05. > :19:10.a circular tunnel, scientists are closer to understanding the basic

:19:10. > :19:16.building blocks of matter. They are causing collisions that reveal what

:19:16. > :19:21.is inside. This afternoon, a long awaited announcement. We are here

:19:21. > :19:26.today to hear the latest results on the sign for the Higgs boson.

:19:26. > :19:35.of the brightest minds in physics gather at in one room, comparing

:19:35. > :19:39.its findings on two different experiments suggesting that this

:19:39. > :19:43.particle exists, which has been hidden until now. We still need

:19:44. > :19:49.more experiments to find the definite answer on the Higgs boson,

:19:49. > :19:53.to Be Or Not to Be? There were tantalising hints today. Scientists

:19:53. > :19:57.have delved ever deeper into atoms and the strange world inside them.

:19:57. > :20:02.First there is the nucleus, with electrons orbiting around it. That

:20:02. > :20:06.has been known about for more than a century. Inside it of protons and

:20:06. > :20:11.neutrons, which are incredibly small. But inside them are quarks

:20:12. > :20:16.and other minute particles. But what gives them substance or mass?

:20:16. > :20:19.The theory is that those smallest particles travel through a force

:20:19. > :20:26.called the Higgs field and get slowed-down by it. This is how the

:20:26. > :20:30.Higgs boson words. You cannot see it, but you can see how it gives

:20:30. > :20:35.particles substance, the creation of matter. That is why these hints

:20:35. > :20:39.of their momentous. Every particle in your body is interacting with

:20:39. > :20:43.this field, like a cosmic treacle that permeates the universe. That

:20:43. > :20:51.is what gives particles mass and ultimately what keeps you and me

:20:51. > :20:55.structure. The key results come from two different channels.

:20:55. > :21:00.Results are being studied by physicists all over the world. At

:21:00. > :21:04.Imperial College in London, the students watched the events unfold.

:21:35. > :21:39.reached a crisis point with many town centres fighting to survive

:21:39. > :21:43.and some already lifeless. That is the bleak assessment by the retail

:21:43. > :21:47.expert Mary Portas, who has put forward a number of recommendations

:21:47. > :21:51.including lower business rates and cheaper parking charges to boost

:21:52. > :21:56.activity in town centres. Our business correspondent has more

:21:56. > :22:03.details. Empty shops, and all too familiar

:22:03. > :22:06.sight on high streets fighting for survival. I am Mary Portas and I

:22:06. > :22:13.want to find out if our traditional high streets have reached the end

:22:13. > :22:16.of the road. Retail guru Mary porters has made a name for herself

:22:17. > :22:19.saving failing shops. The Government wanted her to come up

:22:19. > :22:24.with solutions for the High Street. The verdict is that they need to

:22:24. > :22:28.deliver something new. Give a sense of belonging to a place and make it

:22:28. > :22:32.somewhere where people want to be. Then you have a fighting chance. It

:22:32. > :22:36.is looking at the High Street as multi-functional, social as well as

:22:36. > :22:41.shopping streets. That is a very different shift in how we should be

:22:41. > :22:43.looking at this. The challenge is greater than ever. One in seven

:22:43. > :22:50.shops stand empty and the Government says that one in three

:22:50. > :22:54.of our high streets are either to generating or failing. --

:22:54. > :22:57.degenerating. Rotherham has been hit more than most with big

:22:57. > :23:04.retailers deserting the Centre for out-of-town shopping centres like

:23:04. > :23:07.Meadowhall. We go to Meadowhall because it is warm, free parking

:23:07. > :23:12.and we have department stores and Marks & Spencer, which is where I

:23:12. > :23:17.shop. But they are trying to turn things round here. That used to be

:23:17. > :23:21.well worth, but it has now been turned into a bargain store. This

:23:21. > :23:28.was Marks & Spencer and now it is a discount store. The High Street is

:23:28. > :23:32.coming back here, but it will look very different. Mary Portas's plans

:23:32. > :23:36.improve a cut in business rates, free parking schemes and for

:23:36. > :23:39.ministers to approve new out-of- town developments. But there is no

:23:39. > :23:46.guarantee that any of her ideas will take hold. It may already be

:23:46. > :23:50.too late for some High Street. think it is a very extreme case.

:23:50. > :23:54.There will be so few shops in those extreme cases that in fact it makes

:23:54. > :23:59.greater sense to create a totally alternative use for that town

:23:59. > :24:07.centre. In Stevenage, the High Street is still here but part of it

:24:07. > :24:11.has been turned into flats. One more solution to the growing plight

:24:11. > :24:14.of boarded-up shops on Britain's high streets.

:24:14. > :24:18.In just a few hours in New York, hundreds of items of jewellery

:24:18. > :24:22.owned by the late Elizabeth Taylor will be auctioned at Christie's.

:24:22. > :24:27.The collection includes the 33 carat diamond ring given to her by

:24:27. > :24:31.Richard Burton. Christie's say that the auction has generated

:24:32. > :24:36.unprecedented interest around the world.

:24:36. > :24:41.Elizabeth Taylor was voted best actress. They last of the great

:24:41. > :24:45.Hollywood starlets, dripping with diamonds and emeralds. A product of

:24:45. > :24:51.the now-defunct studio system, Elizabeth Taylor was taught to

:24:51. > :24:55.exude glamour. Now her spectacular collection of jewellery is for sale.

:24:55. > :24:59.If you have a few million pounds to spare, you could try bidding for

:24:59. > :25:03.this diamond ring. Elizabeth Taylor called it her baby. And this

:25:03. > :25:09.necklace, a gift from Richard Burton, who showered his wife with

:25:09. > :25:14.gems. Every husband that she had, and she had seven that we know of,

:25:14. > :25:24.Richard Burton twice, gave her diamonds. She loves jewellery and

:25:26. > :25:36.there was never one that she did not laugh. -- love. She also like

:25:36. > :25:37.

:25:37. > :25:42.pearls. Take this necklace. Richard Burton used to say that he

:25:42. > :25:46.introduced her to the jewellery shop where they used to shop. The

:25:46. > :25:50.auction will begin in a few hours. It is the most valuable collection

:25:50. > :25:55.to be sold since that of Wallis Simpson. The interest has been

:25:55. > :25:59.immense. The collection is worth at least �20 million. With potential

:25:59. > :26:09.buyers from across the world, it is anyone's guess where the bidding

:26:09. > :26:10.

:26:10. > :26:17.will end up. How much is the Elizabeth Taylor back to -- factor
