:04:21. > :04:23.in a restaurant in Israel, killing two people and wounding
:04:24. > :04:25.a number of others. Hundreds of police are searching
:04:26. > :04:27.the area in Tel Aviv. Detectives say the motive
:04:28. > :04:29.for the attack is unclear. You may find some images in
:04:30. > :04:37.Kevin Connolly's report disturbing. Video cameras captured
:04:38. > :04:40.the moment of the shooting, the killer calmly raising his
:04:41. > :04:45.weapon and opening fire. In an area of Tel Aviv filled
:04:46. > :04:48.with packed bars and cafes, I hide myself under the bar,
:04:49. > :04:56.and I hear and I am waiting that it's finished,
:04:57. > :05:03.but it was horrible. It's scary, because it is happening
:05:04. > :05:05.all over the world. The gunman escaped on foot,
:05:06. > :05:13.and a huge manhunt began. The security forces quickly
:05:14. > :05:16.sealed off the scene, working to save the seriously
:05:17. > :05:22.injured inside the shattered bar. The painstaking work of piecing
:05:23. > :05:25.together a picture of what had Armed police units have
:05:26. > :05:30.been combing Tel Aviv. It's not clear if there have been
:05:31. > :05:34.credible sightings of the gunman The motive for the shooting
:05:35. > :05:40.for now is unclear. It may have been straightforward
:05:41. > :05:44.criminality, or it could have been a hate crime if the gunman believed
:05:45. > :05:47.the bar was popular Here at the scene, there
:05:48. > :05:53.is growing speculation that police have now
:05:54. > :05:56.identified a suspect, deepening suspicions
:05:57. > :06:00.that this attack was linked to
:06:01. > :06:01.a recent increase in tension Authorities in Dubai have begun
:06:02. > :06:10.an investigation into how a huge fire broke out in a 63-storey luxury
:06:11. > :06:13.hotel close to where crowds had gathered to watch a New Year's Eve
:06:14. > :06:15.fireworks display. The fire started on the 20th floor,
:06:16. > :06:18.and within minutes there was a stampede as flames ripped
:06:19. > :06:20.through the building. This morning, after
:06:21. > :06:30.last night's inferno. How everyone managed
:06:31. > :06:31.to escape from the 63-storey
:06:32. > :06:35.building is remarkable. Last night, the luxury
:06:36. > :06:41.Address Downtown Hotel The fire started on the 20th floor,
:06:42. > :06:45.less than three hours before the city's planned firework
:06:46. > :06:54.display and metres away from the Burj Khalifa,
:06:55. > :06:56.the world's tallest building. There was panic inside,
:06:57. > :07:02.as fire alarms went off. One man was trapped on his 48th
:07:03. > :07:05.floor balcony for two hours when rescue teams took
:07:06. > :07:17.him to safety. A jazz band had been performing
:07:18. > :07:25.at the hotel at the time. I cannot explain to you how
:07:26. > :07:27.frightening it was. My husband was tearing my hand
:07:28. > :07:31.to get down the stairs We actually broke through
:07:32. > :07:37.a barrier to get out. Emergency services got
:07:38. > :07:39.to the scene within minutes. It wasn't long before the whole
:07:40. > :07:52.building was engulfed. A British tourist carried his
:07:53. > :07:54.mother, who uses a wheelchair, on the 15th floor waiting to see
:07:55. > :08:01.what to do, so I put my mum on my back and carried
:08:02. > :08:03.her down 15 flights. It was lucky for us
:08:04. > :08:06.she was only on the 15th floor, or I might have been
:08:07. > :08:09.struggling by the end of that. We still don't know
:08:10. > :08:11.what caused the fire. Dubai's spectacular fireworks
:08:12. > :08:13.display did go ahead nearby. It will be these images
:08:14. > :08:16.the city wants to remember, A little earlier, I spoke
:08:17. > :08:25.to Robert Solomon. He's the division manager
:08:26. > :08:28.for building and life safety codes at the US-based National Fire
:08:29. > :08:30.Prevention Association - they develop fire safety codes
:08:31. > :08:32.for US buildings and their standards I asked him if he was surprised
:08:33. > :08:37.by the ferocity of the fire. You don't anticipate
:08:38. > :08:41.seeing a fire like that race vertically up the exterior of
:08:42. > :08:50.a relatively new building in 2015. What do you think
:08:51. > :08:55.might have happened? In terms of a cause and origin,
:08:56. > :08:58.the local authorities But once they establish that,
:08:59. > :09:05.then the mechanism of what caused that fire to move vertically,
:09:06. > :09:08.both up as well as down towards the ground level,
:09:09. > :09:10.as I understand, So the authorities
:09:11. > :09:18.will have to look at things like what we call
:09:19. > :09:20.the cladding, the exterior surface Was it some type of
:09:21. > :09:26.weather-resistant barrier, with synthetic materials in it?
:09:27. > :09:31.Was there an installation problem? What kind of fire testing
:09:32. > :09:34.did the assembly go through Those are the questions that
:09:35. > :09:40.will be on the table. Are standards generally regarded
:09:41. > :09:42.as being high in Dubai? if you look at the spectacular
:09:43. > :10:01.architecture, certainly, one of the things that
:10:02. > :10:03.the individual building owners and the government want
:10:04. > :10:05.is a high-quality building. But probably number one,
:10:06. > :10:08.they want a safe building. So yes, the construction
:10:09. > :10:10.and designs we've seen in the region have been
:10:11. > :10:18.of very high calibre. In a rethink of the official
:10:19. > :10:27.guidance about alcohol consumption, it's thought people will soon be
:10:28. > :10:30.advised to avoid alcohol The daily alcohol limit for men
:10:31. > :10:34.is also expected to be lowered, bringing it into line with that

:10:54. > :11:06.drinking Liver disease, of course,
:11:07. > :11:09.is one of the major consequences of alcohol excess, and we've seen
:11:10. > :11:12.liver disease rise to be the fifth most common cause of
:11:13. > :11:17.mortality in the UK. The top four causes,
:11:18. > :11:20.such as heart disease and cancer, the rates of mortality are dropping,

:11:23. > :11:31.to recommend at least two days per week without alcohol,
:11:32. > :11:33.advice already given in Scotland, and a maximum of three units
:11:34. > :11:36.consumed on any one day, which, for the first time,
:11:37. > :11:38.would bring men's daily limits The current guidelines on alcohol
:11:39. > :11:46.consumption were last revised in the mid-1990s, but have been
:11:47. > :11:49.criticised as confusing and ineffective, with research
:11:50. > :11:51.suggesting many people just don't It's a release, it's a relax,
:11:52. > :12:03.but sometimes you just need But then, what is two
:12:04. > :12:07.units, what is six units? Most people are reasonably clued up,
:12:08. > :12:10.but you have to let people The country has a little bit
:12:11. > :12:15.of an alcohol problem, I think, in terms of the damage it does
:12:16. > :12:18.to society in numerous ways. So more guidance,
:12:19. > :12:23.I think, is useful. The new drinking recommendations

:27:09. > :27:11.downhill as we move towards the weekend, but because an area of low
:27:12. > :27:14.pressure is pushing across the country, bringing bands of
:27:15. > :27:19.persistent rain and strong to gale force gusts of wind. So it will be a
:27:20. > :27:28.wet and windy night. With the cloud, wind and rain, it will not be as
:27:29. > :27:34.cold as New Year's Eve. But it will be a wet and windy affair, with
:27:35. > :27:38.gales likely across coasts, and bands of persistent rain driving
:27:39. > :27:42.from the south-west into the north-east, grinding to a halt
:27:43. > :27:45.across eastern Scotland. Still some persistent showers or longer spells
:27:46. > :27:50.of rain across the south-east into the Midlands. A drier interlude for
:27:51. > :27:55.the South West and Wales, along with Northern Ireland, by the middle of
:27:56. > :27:59.the afternoon. Still some persistent rain potentially across parts of
:28:00. > :28:03.north-west England and eastern Scotland. Here, the rain will be
:28:04. > :28:09.fairly relentless throughout the afternoon and overnight. No
:28:10. > :28:12.surprises to hear that the Met Office has issued an amber weather
:28:13. > :28:16.warning. Be prepared for some disruption in eastern Scotland, due
:28:17. > :28:20.to the intense and long grain over the weekend. We could see as much as
:28:21. > :28:24.200 million metres of rain falling to higher ground before the weekend
:28:25. > :28:27.is through. As one area of low pressure moves away, only to be
:28:28. > :28:30.replaced by another from the Atlantic, it will bring wet and
:28:31. > :28:35.windy weather across the south-west of England and Wales, along with
:28:36. > :28:40.Northern Ireland, but it moves through here. The exception is that
:28:41. > :28:43.once it gets to eastern Scotland, it will sit here for some time and the
:28:44. > :28:52.rainfall totals will start totting up. As we move into Monday, we will
:28:53. > :28:56.start to see a subtle change. Windy, and the showers easing in the
:28:57. > :29:01.north-east. It will feel noticeably cooler. Closer to the low pressure
:29:02. > :29:04.to the south and west, it is still unsettled, but eventually, the low
:29:05. > :29:11.pressure will drift off to the near continent, allowing the warmer air
:29:12. > :29:15.to drift south. For the early half of next week, it will feel colder,
:29:16. > :29:18.but it will be a little quieter as the low pressure drifts off and
:29:19. > :29:21.receive drier weather taking over for a change.
