Good afternoon. More than 90 people are now known to have been killed

in yesterday's shootings and bomb attack in Norway. As the full

horror of the atrocities emerges, the Norwegian Prime Minister said

the country's way of life has been abused and attacked. A 32-year-old

Norwegian man has been charged with killing seven people in the bomb

attack in the capital, Oslo. Then at least 84 were shot dead at a

youth camp on the island of Utoya. Our correspondent Richard Galpin is

there. Survivors being brought back from the island, after the gunman

was finally captured by the police. Following more than an hour of

cold-blooded killing. The traumatised teenagers had thought

he was a policeman. The island of Utoeya, normally a paradise in the

lakes west of Oslo. Today, empty, but yesterday, it had been filled

with hundreds of youngsters on a summer camp, which suddenly turned

into a killing ground. A few escaped on boats. Many tried to

swim away. The cold water and distance forced them back into the

gunman's sights. TRANSLATION: People were jumping out of windows

and running everywhere in all directions. Terrified for their

lives. Most people ran towards the water, hiding behind stones and

small hills. The guy was dressed as a police officer and trying to

ensure he was kind of helping us and he said, come here. He had a

rifle that he was using to shoot at us. It was total chaos. A few hours

earlier, another horrific attack. A massive car bomb detonated outside

Government buildings in the centre of Oslo. Today, the Prime Minister

called for unity. Norway's a small country, but we are a proud country.

We are all very close, especially in times like this. I think that

all people feel very close to those who are victims of the violence.

This is the man Norwegian media say is allegedly responsible for both

attacks. A 32-year-old called Anders Behring Breivik. He's

alleged to hold extreme nationalist and Christian views. It's not clear

if he was acting alone. Nor is it clear why the young people were

targeted at their youth camp, organised by the governing Labour

Party. Jens Stoltenberg is now meeting some of the families of the

people who swam from that island and who were rescued. A member of

the Norwegian Parliament, taking part in the youth camp witnessed

some of the shootings. We realised that somebody was shooting, which

we heard gun shots outside the main building. I think we did not

realise the seriousness and how bad this would become until we saw a

man in a police uniform shooting one by one of our friends.

heard the shots and then what did you see? How close was he to the

main building, where you were? Just describe how he was carrying out

the shooting. Was he doing it in a frenzied way or calm way? He was

very calm. I did not see him - I did not see him at first, but my

friend, who was on the other side, told me that he was not running. He

was moving slowly and shooting at every person he saw. Here, The

Queen has expressed shock and sadness at the attacks in a message

to King Harald of Norway. She extended her heartfelt sympathy to

the Norwegian people. The Prime Minister said that the loss of life

was absolutely horrific and on a scale that was hard to comprehend.
