:02:27. > :02:35.Here's our Berlin correspondent, Jenny Hill with the latest.
:02:36. > :02:45.First light this morning and the sheer violence of this attack dawns.
:02:46. > :02:51.The lorry crashed through the Christmas crowds here, shattering
:02:52. > :02:58.everything, everyone in its path. This footage was taken in the
:02:59. > :03:02.immediate aftermath of the attack. Bodies lie scattered under the
:03:03. > :03:07.twinkling lights. Moments earlier, these people were
:03:08. > :03:11.eating, drinking, shopping, at one of Berlin's most popular Christmas
:03:12. > :03:16.markets. It's amazing how a peaceful festive
:03:17. > :03:23.happy atmosphere just changed instantly and you have this scene of
:03:24. > :03:26.utter devastation. Sara and Rees may never forget what they saw.
:03:27. > :03:33.Obviously there was people lying on the floor. We weren't sure if it was
:03:34. > :03:38.red wine or if it was blood but we did see - I remember there were
:03:39. > :03:43.people trying to pick up the stalls, we decided to try to lift the stall
:03:44. > :03:47.up with them and we realised, you know, other people unfortunately
:03:48. > :03:51.underneath were already passed. The lorry itself is key to the
:03:52. > :03:54.investigation. It appears to have been hijacked, it belongs to a
:03:55. > :03:58.Polish firm. Today, the owner identified the man who should have
:03:59. > :04:03.been at the wheel. He was found shot dead in the passenger seat.
:04:04. > :04:07.Even the police admit they still don't know who was driving. Last
:04:08. > :04:14.night, they arrested a Pakistani man who came to Germany to seek asylum
:04:15. > :04:17.earlier this year. This evening, they released him
:04:18. > :04:21.without charge. The so-called Islamic State group have claimed the
:04:22. > :04:26.attack. But tonight investigators say the individuals who did this are
:04:27. > :04:30.still at large. TRANSLATION: We don't know with any
:04:31. > :04:34.certainty whether we are dealing with one perpetrator or with
:04:35. > :04:38.several. We don't know with any certainty whether he or they had any
:04:39. > :04:46.support. And now, just like Nice, Paris,
:04:47. > :04:50.Brussels, Berlin mourns. And the German Chancellor must vr
:04:51. > :04:55.must reassure her citizens. Angela Merkel is under pressure. Just the
:04:56. > :04:58.suggestion that an asylum seeker may have been responsible has reignited
:04:59. > :05:05.a national debate over whether her refugee policy has put the country
:05:06. > :05:07.at risk. TRANSLATION: It would be
:05:08. > :05:12.particularly hard to bear if it turned out that the person who did
:05:13. > :05:16.this was someone who sought protection and asylum in Germany. It
:05:17. > :05:23.would be particularly offensive to the many Germans engaged daily in
:05:24. > :05:27.the task of helping refugees. Tonight, a stillness in the heart of
:05:28. > :05:33.Berlin. What, after all, is there to say?
:05:34. > :05:38.Another terror attack in another European capital and 24 hours later
:05:39. > :05:41.it seems no one here knows who did this or where they are now.
:05:42. > :05:45.Jenny Hill, BBC News, Berlin. The suggestion that the attacker
:05:46. > :05:48.could be a refugee has intensified the political pressure
:05:49. > :05:49.on the German Chancellor, Her open door policy on migration

:06:23. > :06:29.Islamic State claim it is killed a dozen Berliners, Germans of all
:06:30. > :06:33.faiths gathered for this memorial. TRANSLATION: We stand here together
:06:34. > :06:39.to send a strong signal that hate and terror will not drive us apart.
:06:40. > :06:45.Our unity is stronger than hate. Angela Merkel said she had no simple
:06:46. > :06:51.answers why a murderer brought death to a Christmas market.
:06:52. > :06:56.Nearby the city's main shopping street is cordoned off. The attack
:06:57. > :07:00.was a blow to the very heart of Germany, that's why it is felt so
:07:01. > :07:05.deeply here. Searching for clues about their
:07:06. > :07:10.suspect, this is where police raided at 3.00am, Berlin's biggest asylum
:07:11. > :07:14.centre, the old airport. Ahmed shared a room with a man, he
:07:15. > :07:20.was woken and questioned for two hours. I am very angry, angry about
:07:21. > :07:26.what's happened yesterday. And I am very angry today about what's
:07:27. > :07:32.happened to me. Whaped to you? I didn't do anything. Take me like a
:07:33. > :07:36.criminal man. Germany has taken in over a million
:07:37. > :07:41.people since the migrant crisis began. Before this week, three lone
:07:42. > :07:49.individuals had carried out attacks. No Germans had died.

:07:55. > :07:58.now stuck to her welcome. From an Afghan refugee she received thanks
:07:59. > :08:03.last month but today she was blamed for the attack by Germany's
:08:04. > :08:08.far-right, hoping to turn successes in recent regional polls into
:08:09. > :08:13.national votes next year, they want tough new border controls. This
:08:14. > :08:18.chaotic migration policy is one of the factors because something like
:08:19. > :08:22.this can happen. We don't know who is in our country, of many, many
:08:23. > :08:24.people. We don't know what background they have, we don't know
:08:25. > :08:30.if terrorists are in Germany and we have to stop this. Here in Germany a
:08:31. > :08:34.lasting impact of this attack may be political. Questions of security
:08:35. > :08:38.seized op by those seeking to drain support from Angela Merkel in
:08:39. > :08:44.federal elections next year. Further afield across Europe, it serves as a
:08:45. > :08:49.reminder to political leaders that their support remains vulnerable to
:08:50. > :08:56.acts of terror and violence. A majority of Germans have supported
:08:57. > :08:59.the welcome policy, provided it's for refugees fleeing war, voicing it
:09:00. > :09:02.even today. When people flee their countries and you see the danger

:09:08. > :09:10.Others worry about the threats. Our politicians need to wake up, he
:09:11. > :09:16.adds, fear is growing but they're not spending on security.
:09:17. > :09:20.It all means the question of who carried out the attack, whether it
:09:21. > :09:22.was someone welcomed as a refugee, is crucial for Angela Merkel and her
:09:23. > :09:27.vision of a free, open Germany. After the attack, authorities
:09:28. > :09:28.throughout Europe, including Britain, have been revisiting
:09:29. > :09:30.their security arrangements Here, the threat level remains
:09:31. > :09:35.unchanged at severe, which means a terror attack

:12:42. > :12:44.looking into more than 500 telephone calls with information from members
:12:45. > :12:48.of the public. They say they're following up several leads but
:12:49. > :12:52.they're not telling us what those leads are. In truth, I think there
:12:53. > :12:55.is precious little reassurance for the German public this evening. It's
:12:56. > :13:00.as if the driver of that lorry fled the scene on foot and simply
:13:01. > :13:04.disappeared into thin air. You know, as you would expect, there is anger
:13:05. > :13:09.and sadness here at the loss of life, bear in mind there is still
:13:10. > :13:14.people seriously ill, injured in hospital, there is horror too. It's
:13:15. > :13:18.another terror attack in another European capital just a few days
:13:19. > :13:22.before Christmas. But I think above all tonight and it's largely because
:13:23. > :13:27.the authorities cannot tell the German public who is really
:13:28. > :13:30.responsible for this, I think the overwhelming sense here tonight is
:13:31. > :13:36.perhaps one of fear. Thank you.

:16:40. > :16:41.Either way, a 22-year-old policeman became an assassin
:16:42. > :16:54.We can talk to our correspondent, Steve Rosenberg, in Moscow.
:16:55. > :16:56.This could potentially be a dangerous moment
:16:57. > :16:58.for Russian-Turkish relations, but so far the leaders
:16:59. > :17:03.of the two countries seem to be sticking together.
:17:04. > :17:10.So far. Yes. That is significant because it's no secret that Russia
:17:11. > :17:13.and Turkey have had a pretty difficult and sometimes explosive
:17:14. > :17:18.relationship over Syria. Think back just over a year, to when the
:17:19. > :17:22.Turkish air force shut down a Russian bomber. More recently, the
:17:23. > :17:27.two countries have tried to put all of that behind them and forge a new
:17:28. > :17:31.relationship, a new partnership, basically because their two
:17:32. > :17:34.presidents, Putin and Erdogan, calculated it's in both of their
:17:35. > :17:39.bests interests to do that. So ever since last night, Moscow and Ankara
:17:40. > :17:44.have been going out of their way to display a united front to make it
:17:45. > :17:49.clear that they do not want to fall out again. The Russians have a lot
:17:50. > :17:56.riding on this display of unity because they are convinced here that
:17:57. > :18:01.the new Moscow-led diplomacy on Syria, the so-called Russia, Iran
:18:02. > :18:05.and Turkey, which met in Moscow today, is on the verge of a
:18:06. > :18:11.diplomatic breakthrough on Syria. If it can be achieved, it is a big "if"
:18:12. > :18:14.could elevate Russia to the position of key power broker and player in
:18:15. > :18:18.the Middle East. Vladimir Putin would like nothing better than to
:18:19. > :18:23.end the Syrian conflict on his terms, but I think we're still a
:18:24. > :18:24.long way away from that scenario. Steve Rosenberg, in Moscow, thank
:18:25. > :18:31.you. Doctors have described
:18:32. > :18:33.a new treatment for early stage prostate cancer as "truly
:18:34. > :18:34.transformative" and they hope it could be used
:18:35. > :18:37.to treat other cancers. The technique, developed
:18:38. > :18:38.by researchers from University College London,
:18:39. > :18:41.uses a laser to activate a drug made Trials, involving more than 400 men,
:18:42. > :18:49.found it destroyed tumours Our medical correspondent,
:18:50. > :18:52.Fergus Walsh, has the story. This is the technology
:18:53. > :18:54.which represents a huge leap It involves a drug derived
:18:55. > :18:59.from bacteria found in the darkness This laser optic fibre
:19:00. > :19:09.is inserted into the prostate, the light activates the drug
:19:10. > :19:22.which kills the cancer. When Gerald Capeham was diagnosed
:19:23. > :19:24.with early prostate cancer, he was worried it might develop
:19:25. > :19:26.and he'd need surgery or radiotherapy, which can cause
:19:27. > :19:28.incontinence or impotence. Instead, he became one of the first
:19:29. > :19:30.successfully treated with the new light therapy and had
:19:31. > :19:33.no long-term side effects. Well, I feel incredibly lucky that
:19:34. > :19:36.I was accepted for the trial. I can look forward to
:19:37. > :19:39.the remaining years of my life, One in eight men will be diagnosed
:19:40. > :19:45.with prostate cancer, so this highly effective
:19:46. > :19:46.new treatment, known as photodynamic therapy,
:19:47. > :19:48.could be hugely significant. The light-sensitive drug is injected
:19:49. > :19:51.into the bloodstream. It's derived from deep sea bacteria,
:19:52. > :19:54.which are efficient Through a thin tube, a laser light
:19:55. > :20:03.is inserted into the prostate, the light activates the drug
:20:04. > :20:15.which destroys the cancer cells. The journal, Lancet Oncology,
:20:16. > :20:18.reports that half the patients given photodynamic therapy were completely
:20:19. > :20:20.clear of cancer two years later, compared to about one in seven
:20:21. > :20:23.of those given standard care. Crucially, it did not
:20:24. > :20:25.cause major side effects. The harms with traditional
:20:26. > :20:26.treatments have always been the side effects,
:20:27. > :20:42.oar urinary incontinence. In other words, leaking
:20:43. > :20:44.urine and requiring pads. Sexual difficulties,
:20:45. > :20:45.which occurs in the majority To have a new treatment
:20:46. > :20:49.now that we can administer to men who are eligible,
:20:50. > :20:51.that is virtually free of those side effects,
:20:52. > :20:53.is truly transformative. The treatment is likely to cost
:20:54. > :20:55.around ?20,000 a patient and is expected to be approved
:20:56. > :20:57.in Europe following these Its use is also being
:20:58. > :21:01.trialled in other cancers. So it won't be cheep,
:21:02. > :21:03.but for prostate patients, photodynamic therapy represents
