Terror at a shopping mall in Munich - police are hunting for three

:00:00.:00:00.

gunmen after what they call a shooting rampage.

:00:07.:00:12.

Mobile phone footage shows one of three suspected

:00:13.:00:16.

gunmen opening fire, at least nine people have been killed.

:00:17.:00:22.

More footage captures a gunman on the roof of the shopping centre,

:00:23.:00:24.

Terrified shoppers fled for their lives, many

:00:25.:00:29.

Armed police rushed to the scene and are combing the area

:00:30.:00:34.

Our crisis team is taking care of about 100 people and our police

:00:35.:00:45.

The German police are calling it a terror attack, but say there is no

:00:46.:00:56.

indication it is Islamist extremism. We'll bring you the latest on this

:00:57.:01:02.

story as it happens. A key measure of the UK economy

:01:03.:01:05.

shows the most dramatic fall since the financial crisis

:01:06.:01:08.

following Brexit. I humbly and gratefully accept your

nomination for the presidency The moment many Republicans

:01:10.:01:12.

never thought possible - Donald Trump is now their official

:01:13.:01:19.

presidential candidate. And a first in the UK -

:01:20.:01:23.

a ground breaking operation to give two new hands to a man

:01:24.:01:32.

who lost his in an accident. Usain Bolt is the main attraction

Anniversary Games. Up to three gunmen are on the loose

:01:42.:02:05.

tonight in Munich after a shooting at a shopping mall which has left

:02:06.:02:10.

at least nine people The police have described it

:02:11.:02:13.

as a shooting rampage. Witnesses reported seeing gunmen

:02:14.:02:17.

in the streets around the Olympia Shopping Centre just

:02:18.:02:19.

before 7pm local time this evening. One was then filmed emerging firing

:02:20.:02:24.

out of a McDonald's opposite Armed police have rushed

:02:25.:02:26.

to the scene and the city People have been told

:02:27.:02:32.

to stay indoors as the hunt We'll have the latest from Munich

:02:33.:02:35.

in a moment but first James Robbins reports on the events which have

:02:36.:02:40.

unfolded this evening and, a warning, there are

:02:41.:02:43.

some graphic images. This phone footage apparently shows

:02:44.:02:54.

the moment a group of people run into gunfire on the streets of

:02:55.:02:56.

Munich. Around the shopping centre there was

:02:57.:03:10.

panic, as people tried to find some way to safety. Armed police and

:03:11.:03:17.

special forces poured in. But from the roof of this car park, you can

:03:18.:03:20.

see what appears to be a gunman as shooting continues.

:03:21.:03:30.

Here, we see ambulances, firemen and police. All of this area is

:03:31.:03:43.

evacuated, all of the streets, there are no cars. All of the streets are

:03:44.:03:50.

blocked. The people are scared, everybody is running around.

:03:51.:03:56.

Witnesses told police there were three gunman, armed with long

:03:57.:04:00.

barrelled guns, possibly rivals. The police quickly called this a terror

:04:01.:04:03.

attack. The dead bodies of several victims were found, covered as

:04:04.:04:09.

rapidly as possible in the midst of a developing tragedy. Hospitals

:04:10.:04:13.

called in extra staff to prepare for the possibility of large numbers of

:04:14.:04:18.

wounded. A German police spokesman said that security forces were

:04:19.:04:22.

treating this as terrorism. TRANSLATION: If somebody walks into

:04:23.:04:26.

a shopping centre with a long firearm, and those were the initial

:04:27.:04:29.

reports, considering what happened over the past few weeks in Europe, I

:04:30.:04:33.

think it is justified to operate under this worst possible

:04:34.:04:36.

assumption, and it is good that we did so. We think there are up to

:04:37.:04:44.

three perpetrators. There are conflicting reports, but up to three

:04:45.:04:51.

perpetrators are on the run. All public transport in Munich, a city

:04:52.:04:55.

of 1.4 million people, has been shut down. Police are urging residents to

:04:56.:05:00.

stay indoors. At another shopping centre, there were fears that they

:05:01.:05:04.

may also be under attack. People came screaming inside the shopping

:05:05.:05:11.

mall. Those people told us there was a shooting outside. The security

:05:12.:05:15.

closed the door of the shopping mall and asked everybody to go upstairs

:05:16.:05:20.

to the fifth floor. This is where I am right now, with about 150 other

:05:21.:05:28.

folk. We were asked not to leave the building. Tonight, a state of

:05:29.:05:33.

emergency was declared across Munich. Germany's Interior Minister,

:05:34.:05:38.

in the air on his way to a holiday in America, said he would head home,

:05:39.:05:42.

as President Obama gave his reaction to unfolding events. We don't yet

:05:43.:05:47.

know exactly what is happening there, but obviously our hearts go

:05:48.:05:51.

out to those that may have been injured. It is still an active

:05:52.:05:56.

situation and Germany is one of our closest allies. We are going to

:05:57.:06:01.

pledge all the support that they may need in dealing with these

:06:02.:06:05.

circumstances. Tonight, Germany is in shock. Some of the latest

:06:06.:06:09.

pictures show armed police inside the shopping mall, unsure if a

:06:10.:06:13.

gunman may still be there. It is still far from clear that this is

:06:14.:06:17.

part of a pattern of attacks blamed on jihadists. Suspicion has also

:06:18.:06:22.

fallen on far right extremists. But the scale of the latest suffering in

:06:23.:06:25.

a major European city is not in doubt.

:06:26.:06:28.

Our correspondent Andrew Plant is at Munich airport this evening.

:06:29.:06:32.

New information coming in all the time but at the moment

:06:33.:06:36.

we know for sure that up to three attackers are still on the run,

:06:37.:06:40.

what more can you tell us from where you are?

:06:41.:06:46.

Fiona, a lot of confusion at Munich airport over the last 30 minutes, as

:06:47.:06:53.

people arrived on planes to get buses and taxis into the city centre

:06:54.:06:56.

and told they cannot go there because the roads are closed. People

:06:57.:07:00.

are not sure what to do here. The latest on the manhunt, we know that

:07:01.:07:03.

witnesses said there were three men with guns. There are reports one of

:07:04.:07:07.

those men has been killed. Police have not confirmed that, but they

:07:08.:07:11.

have mentioned that report on Twitter. Potentially they are

:07:12.:07:18.

looking for two. A manhunt for two armed men. We know just from local

:07:19.:07:21.

TV reports in the last ten minutes or so that Austrian police have been

:07:22.:07:26.

drafted in to help. That gives you an idea of the area they are looking

:07:27.:07:29.

to search. In the last couple of minutes we have been told they will

:07:30.:07:32.

be beefing up security at the Borders. Clearly, a fear that the

:07:33.:07:37.

men that are on the run could be heading to a nearby border.

:07:38.:07:39.

Our diplomatic correspondent, James Robbins joins me

:07:40.:07:41.

The police started by saying they believe this was a terrorist attack,

:07:42.:07:52.

they then went on to suggest they didn't think Islamist extremism was

:07:53.:07:55.

the motive, there is now a suggestion it could be something

:07:56.:07:58.

coming from the far right? I think it is clear the cause of the scale

:07:59.:08:02.

of the attack that it would normally be called terrorism, but who is

:08:03.:08:06.

responsible is more questionable. The German authorities, Chancellor

:08:07.:08:10.

Merkel's office, they are steering people away from drawing quick

:08:11.:08:12.

conclusions. I can tell you there has been what appears to be a

:08:13.:08:16.

recording of one of the gunman at the scene, which has emerged on

:08:17.:08:21.

social media tonight. He is heard apparently kissing foreigners. He

:08:22.:08:25.

appears to be a German who has a grievance. -- apparently cursing

:08:26.:08:32.

foreigners. I think we have to be cautious about this, but it is five

:08:33.:08:36.

years to the day since in Norway Anders Breivik killed 77 people,

:08:37.:08:44.

most of them young people, on a far right campaign. There might be no

:08:45.:08:47.

connection, but it is something that we have to bear in mind. What is not

:08:48.:08:51.

in doubt is that Germany has suffered on a scale that has not

:08:52.:08:52.

seen in many years. And there's a live page on the BBC

:08:53.:08:55.

website continually updating Here, new figures suggest that,

:08:56.:08:57.

post-Brexit, one measure of the UK economy has fallen to its lowest

:08:58.:09:05.

level since the recession in 2009. The sudden drop in activity

:09:06.:09:11.

in manufacturing and services has led some analysts to warn of more

:09:12.:09:14.

pain to come, possibly Speaking on a visit to China,

:09:15.:09:17.

the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, has warned UK economic policy

:09:18.:09:22.

could be "reset" in the autumn, indicating a potentially

:09:23.:09:25.

significant change - though not what that

:09:26.:09:28.

change might be. Our Economics Editor, Kamal Ahmed,

:09:29.:09:31.

sent this report from Beijing. The Chinese lion, protector

:09:32.:09:37.

of power and wealth, and here in Beijing there

:09:38.:09:40.

is certainly both. The country funds everything

:09:41.:09:44.

from British railways The UK Government arrived

:09:45.:09:45.

with a message of reassurance, reassurance for bankers

:09:46.:09:52.

and investors behind billions of pounds of funding that Britain,

:09:53.:09:55.

whatever our relationship with the European Union,

:09:56.:09:57.

is open for business. You have mentioned the Brexit

:09:58.:10:03.

decision, which was a surprise I think to most of us,

:10:04.:10:07.

but we are determined to seize the opportunities that that

:10:08.:10:10.

decision represents, as well as managing effectively

:10:11.:10:16.

the challenges that it will give One thing that is coming into sharp

:10:17.:10:19.

focus is that the Government is very aware it needs support from foreign

:10:20.:10:28.

investors and that it may have to change its approach to tax

:10:29.:10:31.

and spending in Britain if the economy takes a turn

:10:32.:10:34.

for the worse. In the slightly longer term,

:10:35.:10:36.

coming up to the Autumn Statement, if it is necessary,

:10:37.:10:39.

we have an opportunity then to reset fiscal policy to be appropriate

:10:40.:10:43.

for the economic circumstances What could that mean,

:10:44.:10:46.

more borrowing and spending by the Government to

:10:47.:10:51.

support the economy? We have said already that we will no

:10:52.:10:54.

longer pursue a budget surplus in 2019-20, but we will replace that

:10:55.:10:58.

target with another framework. That will depend on the data we see

:10:59.:11:03.

over the coming months. That data, those figures,

:11:04.:11:07.

at least today, were poor. The key economic measure of UK

:11:08.:11:12.

business output and new orders Any number below 50

:11:13.:11:14.

shows a slowdown. That is the lowest level

:11:15.:11:21.

since the 2009 recession. And manufacturing activity also

:11:22.:11:26.

dropped to the lowest for three years, although there

:11:27.:11:28.

was better news on exports. We have had the survey today

:11:29.:11:32.

with bad news in it and we have worries in the housing market,

:11:33.:11:36.

the exchange rate falling really quite significantly,

:11:37.:11:39.

but it won't be for a few months until we know, in a sense,

:11:40.:11:42.

quite how bad it is going to be. Not everyone in Parliament was happy

:11:43.:11:49.

and Labour said the government's rule on rapidly balancing tax

:11:50.:11:51.

and spending, the fiscal rule, Hammond needs to come back

:11:52.:11:54.

from China, change the fiscal rule, let Government start investing

:11:55.:11:59.

again, because that will mean private investment will come back

:12:00.:12:01.

in because confidence Here in Beijing, the Chancellor has

:12:02.:12:03.

certainly been pressing the flesh, saying, yes, Britain

:12:04.:12:11.

is indeed open for business, but I think the big point

:12:12.:12:14.

is actually about the UK economy. The Government could change the way

:12:15.:12:19.

it taxes us if the economy needs it. It could change the way

:12:20.:12:23.

it spends its money, It could even borrow more to spend

:12:24.:12:25.

on big infrastructure projects, Keeping the UK economy on the move

:12:26.:12:29.

may need Chinese help, particularly if slow is the speed

:12:30.:12:39.

we have to get used to. If it is, it won't just be

:12:40.:12:43.

the Chinese capital where the UK Americanism not globalism - that was

:12:44.:12:46.

Donald Trump's pledge last night, as he accepted the Republican

:12:47.:12:55.

presidential nomination. Speaking in Ohio at the end

:12:56.:12:58.

of his party's national convention, he vowed an end to crime

:12:59.:13:02.

and violence, reiterated his promise to build a border wall with Mexico,

:13:03.:13:05.

and appealed to what he called "forgotten Americans",

:13:06.:13:08.

who work hard but no Our North America Editor,

:13:09.:13:10.

Jon Sopel, was watching. I humbly and gratefully accept your

:13:11.:13:16.

nomination for the presidency Who would have bet on those words

:13:17.:13:18.

being spoken by this And what nationalistic fervour

:13:19.:13:29.

there was in the hall. He painted a dark picture

:13:30.:13:35.

of the state of America, a fearful place where crime

:13:36.:13:41.

was rampant, I have a message to every last

:13:42.:13:44.

person threatening the peace on our streets and the safety

:13:45.:13:49.

of our police. When I take the oath

:13:50.:13:54.

of office next year, I will restore law and order

:13:55.:13:59.

to our country. Though how he'd bring this

:14:00.:14:06.

transformation, he never spelt out, miracles with the US economy,

:14:07.:14:09.

even if detail was scant on how it I am going to bring back our jobs

:14:10.:14:13.

to Ohio and Pennsylvania and New York and Michigan

:14:14.:14:20.

and all of America. On the world stage, America would

:14:21.:14:27.

play a much smaller role. He'd pursue Americanism,

:14:28.:14:30.

not globalism, and he piled all the blame for foreign policy

:14:31.:14:33.

failure at Hillary Clinton's feet. The world is far less stable

:14:34.:14:38.

than when Obama made the decision to put Hillary Clinton in charge

of America's foreign policy. He told those who felt forgotten

:14:44.:14:50.

he would be their voice. This lone protester,

:14:51.:14:59.

like many others across America, find Trump's populist message

:15:00.:15:04.

xenophobic and frightening. Now it was time to lift the crowd,

:15:05.:15:08.

and the familiar refrain. And we will make

:15:09.:15:15.

America great again! If people were feeling

:15:16.:15:24.

deflated before this speech, and it has been a chaotic

:15:25.:15:32.

convention, they are not now. Few people can work

:15:33.:15:36.

a crowd that Donald Trump. Now he's got three and a half months

:15:37.:15:39.

to convince the country. It's about time a leader

:15:40.:15:45.

like Donald Trump stepped up I think he will bring some optimism

:15:46.:15:52.

back to the United States Those who already loved

Donald Trump loved last night, but to win he needs to broaden his

support significantly, Jon Sopel, BBC News,

Cleveland, Ohio. This time exactly a week ago,

:16:14.:16:22.

we were bringing you reports that a military coup was under way

:16:23.:16:24.

in Turkey, with troops sealing off bridges,

:16:25.:16:27.

and helicopter gunships opening fire The coup failed and all week

the Turkish authorities have been rounding up tens

:16:35.:16:36.

the BBC that the coup plotters had infiltrated all government

ministries, institutions and the private sector,

and that there would be more Our correspondent

almost overthrown. Today, President Erdogan

to interrogation and checking. I'm worried that I could be

targeted by authorities. All these political and traumatic

:18:10.:18:14.

events causes anxiety The government has vowed to root out

:18:15.:18:19.

the coup plotters, but there are serious concerns about how wide

:18:20.:18:29.

the net is being cast. Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister

:18:30.:18:32.

told me the threat is worse than TRANSLATION: We are facing one

of the biggest dangers Turkey has This terror organisation is a bigger

threat than the PKK and Isis. The government and President's

critics say that you are using this as an opportunity to go

:18:56.:18:58.

after your opponents. Only people who have been 100%

or investigated, but this The number of detentions

remains, almost a shrine Turks are still trying to comprehend

how their own people It will be rebuilt, but the scars

:19:13.:19:17.

from last Friday will endure, and the question now is,

:19:18.:19:24.

what kind of Turkey will emerge? Can it unite or will it

:19:25.:19:27.

be riven by revenge? After the most traumatic week

:19:28.:19:31.

in Turkey's recent history, the clamour for democracy is loud

:19:32.:19:35.

but it depends upon their The head of the Unite union,

Len McCluskey, says MI5 could be responsible for the abuse

and intimidation of some Labour MPs, particularly those who don't

:19:49.:19:51.

support the Labour leader, Mr McCluskey claims the intelligence

services could be attempting He also says right-wingers

:19:55.:19:58.

in disguise could be responsible for actions attributed

:19:59.:20:03.

to Mr Corbyn's supporters. Three years ago, Chris

:20:04.:20:08.

King lost both hands Today, he's the first person

:20:09.:20:10.

in the UK to have received a double hand transplant,

:20:11.:20:15.

thanks to a ground-breaking operation at Leeds

:20:16.:20:17.

General Infirmary. Chris King is in awe

:20:18.:20:19.

of what surgeons have As soon as I saw them,

:20:20.:20:29.

I realised I couldn't wish It's better than any lottery win,

:20:30.:20:34.

because you feel whole again. He lost both his hands

:20:35.:20:42.

in an accident involving a metal pressing machine

:20:43.:20:45.

at work three years ago. Now somebody else's hands have been

:20:46.:20:48.

transplanted to him, It was like the hands

:20:49.:20:51.

were made to measure. They absolutely fit,

:20:52.:20:57.

and it's actually opened up a memory, because I could never

:20:58.:21:00.

remember what my hands looked This picture of Chris's hands shows

:21:01.:21:03.

how much of the donor's hands Bones are joined with titanium

:21:04.:21:13.

plates, then surgeons connect key tendons and muscles before blood

:21:14.:21:19.

vessels are connected. He lost his hand at that angle

:21:20.:21:22.

and so all of the fine structures that come up, we had

:21:23.:21:30.

to individually repair. Professor Simon Kay,

:21:31.:21:33.

who carried out the transplant, says this highlights

:21:34.:21:36.

a new type of donor. People haven't had to think

:21:37.:21:39.

about donating limbs before but, when you see Chris, you see

:21:40.:21:43.

what a life transforming, life restoring thing it is,

:21:44.:21:45.

and I would like people to have the conversations

:21:46.:21:48.

they have about donating organs with their family,

:21:49.:21:51.

about donating hands. The donor in relation to this

:21:52.:21:55.

transplant will remain anonymous, but his brother issued a statement

:21:56.:21:59.

saying he would have given the shirt What followed was a 12-hour
