:02:11. > :02:15.is not yet known how many people have been killed. The volunteer
:02:15. > :02:18.firefighters are believed to be among the dead. The blast which
:02:19. > :02:24.registered on the Richter scale, flattened buildings in the town of
:02:24. > :02:28.West. Survivors said it was like being hit by a tornado. Officials
:02:28. > :02:33.believe that hundreds could be injured. A search and rescue
:02:33. > :02:36.operation is still underway. Alastair Leithead joins us now live
:02:36. > :02:41.from West in Texas. Well, the police have cordoned off
:02:41. > :02:45.a huge area, surrounding the area where the factory exploded. They
:02:45. > :02:48.are calling it a search and a rescue operation. It seems unlikely
:02:48. > :02:53.that anyone will be found, but we got in to access, to see the
:02:53. > :02:58.factory area, this place which was hit by the huge explosion.
:02:58. > :03:03.This report, I must warn you, there is some flash photo-y here. It
:03:03. > :03:09.started with a fire. Filmed on a mobile phone from what seemed a
:03:09. > :03:13.safe distance away, but this was a huge explosion.
:03:14. > :03:17.Are you OK? Yeah. I can't hear. I can't hear.
:03:17. > :03:20.Get out of here, please, get out of here.

:03:30. > :03:34.We need erambulance we can get this way. It is bad. There are a lot of
:03:34. > :03:39.firemen down. Darkness complicated the rescue operation. It became
:03:39. > :03:45.clear that the power of the explosion was huge. As the fires
:03:45. > :03:49.burned across the town, how wide an area had been affected? There was a
:03:49. > :03:54.major explosion. The windows came in on me, the roof, the ceiling
:03:54. > :03:57.came in. I worked my way out to go get more help.

:04:13. > :04:18.were buried. The rest home was gone. Yeah, just evacuating the rest home,
:04:18. > :04:24.helping them. Getting the critical ones into the hospital here.
:04:24. > :04:30.It was just crazy. The plant was in a small Texan town
:04:31. > :04:34.of West. A few miles from Waco. The blast was felt up to 45 miles away.
:04:34. > :04:37.The plant was close to a school, homes and a care home. It is
:04:37. > :04:43.thought that the company had 20 tonnes of ammonia stored on the
:04:43. > :04:48.property. At first light, we drove into the
:04:48. > :04:52.worst-affected areas, next to the factory. This two-storey apartment
:04:52. > :04:57.block, torn to shreds by the force of the blast. Some homes had burnt
:04:57. > :05:01.to the ground. Rain helped to douse the flames but they were
:05:01. > :05:05.smouldering hours later. The impact of the explosion on street after
:05:05. > :05:10.street was quite astonishing. People pulled from the wreckage,
:05:10. > :05:15.scores were injured. On the sight of the plant, the fires were
:05:15. > :05:21.burning. Huge silos were torn open by the explosion. This is what is
:05:21. > :05:25.left of the fertiliser factory that caught fire and exploded. Sending a
:05:25. > :05:29.fireball across the neighbourhood. Parts of it are smouldering as the
:05:29. > :05:38.investigators work to establish what caused the explosion. It was
:05:39. > :05:45.hours before the teams of special pro tect or -- in special
:05:45. > :05:49.protection equipment were able to look for people.
:05:49. > :05:53.We are blessed to have the best emergency management team in the

:06:04. > :06:08.rubble and dozens are still being treated for their injuries.
:06:08. > :06:12.President Obama offered his support and prayers to the victims of the
:06:12. > :06:18.explosion in Texas. He was attending the scene of another
:06:18. > :06:24.tragedy, the marathon bombings in Boston. He attended a memorial
:06:24. > :06:29.service with his wife on Monday. They e hope to have identified a
:06:29. > :06:33.suspect. A man has been seen on CCTV dropping a bag and walking
:06:33. > :06:38.away from the sight of the explosions.
:06:38. > :06:41.Here is our North America Editor, Mark Mardell. The President came to
:06:41. > :06:48.the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in the city he once called home as a
:06:48. > :06:51.law student, to praise the people's resilience and resolve.
:06:51. > :06:55.The songs and the players and readings were aimed at comforting a
:06:55. > :06:59.city in mourning, but there was no stinting the grief when the
:06:59. > :07:05.President spoke of the victims. Our prayers are with the Richard
:07:05. > :07:10.family of Dorchester. Our hearts are broken for eight-year-old
:07:10. > :07:14.Martin with his big smile and bright eyes... He said that those
:07:14. > :07:17.he called the small, stunted individuals who wanted to destroy,
:07:17. > :07:23.would face justice and would not win.
:07:24. > :07:30.Your resolve is the greatest rebuke to whoever committed this heinous
:07:30. > :07:37.act. They sought to intimidate us, to
:07:37. > :07:41.terrorise us, to shake us from those values that we are described,
:07:41. > :07:44.the values that make us who we are as Americans. Well it should be
:07:44. > :07:48.pretty clear by now that they picked the wrong city to do it.
:07:48. > :07:55.The President praised those who rushed to help on Monday, despite
:07:55. > :08:00.the danger to themselves. People like Dr Natalie Stavos.
:08:00. > :08:05.They were there cheering for me, to get me through the finish line.
:08:05. > :08:08.They lost their lives and limbs. I have such sorrow. Healing is
:08:08. > :08:13.clearly important. Justice can be a big part of that. The best clue
:08:13. > :08:15.that the police have right now comes from a camera in a department
:08:15. > :08:20.store just down there. The police are sifting through
:08:20. > :08:24.hundreds of videos but the store's cameras have caught shots of people
:08:24. > :08:29.who the FBI want to speak to in particular. Though they are not
:08:29. > :08:33.described as suspects. So why have not the pictures been made public?
:08:33. > :08:38.There is a reluctance to jump the gun. To release information that
:08:38. > :08:42.may not be accurate. To send people chasing in the wrong direction, but
:08:42. > :08:46.it is important to take a step back, to let the law enforcement
:08:46. > :08:52.investigation proceed on course as it is. We think back to the Olympic
:08:52. > :08:58.bombing in 196, they misidentified the suspect initially. President
:08:58. > :09:05.Obama came to a city in shock. His message that America will not cower
:09:05. > :09:11.but pick itself up and carry on. Mark is in Boston for us. The bombs
:09:11. > :09:14.in Boston, the explosion in Texas, the Americans must be wonder eing
:09:14. > :09:18.what next? But President Obama seems to be striking a positive
:09:18. > :09:23.note there? This is true. This is not the first time he has had to
:09:23. > :09:25.make emotional speechs in the wake of tragedies. He has done it after
:09:25. > :09:30.mass shootings and natural disasters but this is the first
:09:30. > :09:34.time he has had to d it after an act of terrorism. Yes, there was
:09:34. > :09:39.defiance and sorrow but a brightness. A deliberate optimism
:09:39. > :09:45.to his words. He does not want America to dwell on this, to feel
:09:45. > :09:48.it is living in an age of darkness, in a country under attack. He used
:09:48. > :09:52.the image of the marathon itself. Saying that there were helping
:09:52. > :09:57.hands around the course. People cheering them on, that the race
:09:57. > :10:00.would be won and would be -- would be run and would be won. A teenage

:10:52. > :10:56.knife and subjected her to a three- hour ordeal after which she needed
:10:56. > :11:02.surgery to recover, but this was not the first time that Opemipo
:11:02. > :11:07.Jaji attacked in this way. In February, 2011, he robbed and
:11:07. > :11:14.sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl. A young offender, he was
:11:14. > :11:20.sentenced to a year's detention, he was not put on the sex offender. A
:11:20. > :11:27.year later, he admitted downloading indecent images of children. He was
:11:27. > :11:30.with his row baigs officer, 9 0 minutes before the attack of the
:11:30. > :11:35.11-year-old girl. Opemipo Jaji has never admitted his
:11:35. > :11:39.cupability in all of this. That forced the victim to give evidence.
:11:39. > :11:46.Tonight, the Ministry of Justice is to review if there were failures in

:16:49. > :16:56.insisted he was unconcerned. He is smoking his cigar and sipping a cup

:17:02. > :17:04.jokes and what not. Pervez Musharraf remains here inside his
:17:05. > :17:09.heavily fortified farmhouse. There are police outside the door, but
:17:09. > :17:12.they are here to protect him, not to take him into custody. For now,
:17:12. > :17:18.there has been no attempt by the authorities to place him under
:17:18. > :17:24.arrest, but Pakistan's once all powerful military dictator is now a
:17:24. > :17:28.wanted man. Since returning from exile last month, he has been a

:25:09. > :25:13.health than it is just now. You know, you look back over the years
:25:13. > :25:17.and you just see where it has come from. It is almost unbelievable how

:25:33. > :25:38.giants of British sporting history, with six Olympic gold medals, he is
:25:38. > :25:42.the most successful Olympian this country has ever produced and he is

:25:47. > :25:52.but there was support today for Hoy from one of British cycling's
:25:52. > :25:55.original trailblazers. He will leave a hole to be filled. We have

:26:02. > :26:06.He is the most iconic, best representative of British sport
