The number of dead in the twin attacks in Norway rises to 92.

:00:11.:00:15.

Nearly all were killed when a gunman ran amok on an island summer

:00:15.:00:21.

camp. Police are searching for more victims.

:00:21.:00:25.

He started shooting at every single person, they were crying and

:00:26.:00:35.
:00:36.:00:36.

screaming. People were falling over A 32-year-old Norwegian is charged.

:00:36.:00:39.

He's believed to have links to extreme right-wing groups. Norway's

:00:39.:00:42.

Prime Minister says the attacks are beyond comprehension, but urges the

:00:42.:00:46.

country not to cave into fear. And, remanded in custody, the nurse

:00:56.:01:07.

charged over the deaths of five Norway's Prime Minister says his

:01:07.:01:14.

country's way of life has been abused and attacked. More than 90

:01:14.:01:18.

people are now known to have died yesterday, seven in a car bomb in

:01:18.:01:21.

central Oslo, but the vast majority shot indiscriminately at a summer

camp for young people on the island of Utoeya. Jon Sopel joins us now

:01:26.:01:36.
:01:36.:01:38.

from Oslo. Flags are flying at half mast.

:01:38.:01:41.

People are wandering around the City somewhat bewildered by what

:01:41.:01:46.

has unfolded. There is broken glass on the streets. None of this

:01:46.:01:49.

captures the magnitude of the scale of the shock felt by the Norwegian

:01:49.:01:59.
:01:59.:02:00.

people. Our first Report has some disturbing images.

:02:00.:02:08.

Gradually, the survivors are brought back from the island.

:02:08.:02:12.

Traumatised and probably scarred for life, they are the lucky ones.

:02:12.:02:21.

They are still alive. This is the beautiful island retreat, Utoeya,

:02:21.:02:25.

which area hosts a summer camp for hundreds of teenagers around the

:02:25.:02:30.

country. Earlier it seemed so perfect. The young members of the

:02:30.:02:34.

governing Labour Party gathered for days of political discussion and

:02:34.:02:39.

fun. But suddenly, yesterday afternoon, they were fleeing for

:02:39.:02:43.

their lives, hiding in the woods and buildings, as a man dressed as

:02:43.:02:50.

a police officer went on a shooting spree. Some have tried to swim away.

:02:50.:02:54.

But the cold water and distance forced most back to face the gunman

:02:54.:03:01.

with his automatic rifle once more. Many people died and I just had to

:03:01.:03:08.

shield myself behind them and pray he would not see me. I could feel

:03:08.:03:14.

his breath, I could feel the warmth from the barrel of the gun. But I

:03:14.:03:19.

did not move and that is what saved my life. Other survivors arriving

:03:19.:03:24.

back from the island described how they had been deceived by the gun

:03:24.:03:31.

man's police uniform. TRANSLATION: People were jumping out of windows

:03:31.:03:34.

and running in all directions, terrified for their lives. Most

:03:35.:03:39.

people ran towards the water, hiding behind stones and hills. He

:03:39.:03:44.

was dressed as a policeman, assuring he was helping us, saying,

:03:44.:03:51.

come here. He had a rifle to shoot at us, it was chaos.

:03:52.:03:58.

For most, caught up in the violence, it felt an eternity before police

:03:58.:04:04.

special forces finally came to the rescue. That was partly because so

:04:04.:04:09.

many police were still dealing with this. The aftermath of a huge car

:04:09.:04:12.

bomb detonated in front of the main government buildings in central

:04:13.:04:19.

Oslo. Detonating mid- afternoon yesterday, it killed and maimed in

:04:19.:04:26.

the heart of a capital known for its tranquillity. This is the man

:04:26.:04:29.

Norwegian media say has now been charged in connection with both

:04:29.:04:36.

attacks. A 32-year-old called Anders Breivik. He is alleged to

:04:36.:04:40.

hold extreme nationalist and Christian views. It is not clear if

:04:40.:04:46.

he was acting alone. Today, the Prime Minister came here to the

:04:46.:04:50.

area near the island where the survivors had been taken. To

:04:50.:04:55.

reassure, comfort and deliver a strong message.

:04:55.:04:59.

TRANSLATION: Of we must take control of Utoeya and show young

:04:59.:05:06.

people can be engaged, that young people can be trusted in society in

:05:06.:05:11.

debating politics, and those who try to scare us shall not win.

:05:11.:05:17.

But still, the grief and shock continue. Heightened by the news

:05:17.:05:23.

that many young people are still missing. So, people here in this

:05:23.:05:26.

community as in the rest of the country are still waiting to find

:05:26.:05:30.

out exactly how many people were killed in the shooting incident.

:05:31.:05:36.

They also want to know why would a gunman opened fire on young people

:05:36.:05:42.

enjoying a summer camp in a beautiful location like this.

:05:42.:05:45.

As we've heard, police have charged, a 32-year-old Norwegian man with

:05:45.:05:55.
:05:55.:06:03.

both attacks. Who is he a what drove him to such carnage?

:06:03.:06:07.

Coming to terms with Norway's tragedy. Now the hard questions.

:06:07.:06:14.

How could such a tranquil society produce such wilful carnage? The

:06:14.:06:19.

suspect in custody has been named by a Norwegian media as a Anders

:06:19.:06:24.

Breivik. 32 years old, born and grew up in Norway, he has been

:06:24.:06:29.

charged with acts of terrorism. is not known by the police before.

:06:29.:06:35.

So, we have not arrested him before or anything like that. On his

:06:35.:06:43.

website as you have probably seen, he calls himself a Christian and

:06:43.:06:47.

going to the right. Police searched the suspects apartment within hours

:06:48.:06:51.

of the shooting, hunting for clues. They are starting to build up a

:06:51.:06:55.

picture of a man with deeply intolerant views towards

:06:55.:06:59.

immigration and what he saw as his government's lax policies. His

:06:59.:07:05.

networking page on Facebook only recently set up names his interests

:07:05.:07:10.

as body-building and freemasonry. His account on Twitter posts in a

:07:10.:07:14.

quote from John Stuart Mill saying, one person with a belief is equal

:07:15.:07:19.

to the force of 100,000 who have only interests. Police also

:07:19.:07:23.

searched the farm he set up outside Oslo to grow fruit and vegetables.

:07:23.:07:29.

It is alleged he bought six tons of fertiliser, a possible explosive

:07:29.:07:35.

ingredient. In the shattered centre of the Norwegian capital, the Army

:07:35.:07:39.

has been deployed. Britain amongst other nations has offered

:07:39.:07:43.

intelligence help. Now this appears to be a case of home-grown

:07:44.:07:47.

political extremism, it is more a case of what others can learn from

:07:47.:07:53.

Norway's tragedy. We will want to make sure we learn any lessons

:07:53.:07:57.

there are about how to be more secure against horrific outrages

:07:57.:08:01.

like this. That is something we can discuss at the National Security

:08:01.:08:06.

Council on Monday. For Norway, there is now a burning question.

:08:06.:08:10.

Were these the axe of a lone fanatic or are there other right-

:08:10.:08:18.

wing extremists waiting to copy his bloody example? Steve Rosenberg

:08:18.:08:27.

joins us. You've been able to get close to the island. What did you

:08:27.:08:37.
:08:37.:08:38.

see? A police but would not let us get

:08:38.:08:45.

any closer but we could clearly see body bags still on the island. I

:08:45.:08:49.

counted eight body-bags there. And you could see divers in the lake,

:08:49.:08:53.

searching for more bodies, a sign that the death toll could well

:08:53.:09:03.
:09:03.:09:05.

increase. How are people coping there?

:09:05.:09:11.

It is an enormous shock for people in this village. Especially for the

:09:11.:09:16.

holiday makers. This is a popular holiday destination in Norway. I

:09:16.:09:20.

spoke to some people on an island nearby who heard the shots bringing

:09:20.:09:25.

out yesterday. They jumped on a boat to help rescue people. An

:09:25.:09:30.

enormous shock, especially that this massacre was carried out not

:09:30.:09:40.
:09:40.:09:41.

by international terror groups but by a Norwegian citizen.

:09:41.:09:44.
