Norway is engulfed in grief as the number of dead approaches 100.

As victims of the attacks are remembered, the Prime Minister

speaks of a national tragedy. There are emotional scenes as Norway's

King and Queen join in the sorrow. More emerges about the gunman's

beliefs and the way he targeted his victims. People ran from him. He

walked. Didn't run. He walked slowly. He thought, "You may run,

you can't hide." He yelled, "This is the day you're going to die."

We'll have the latest from Oslo. Also on the programme: Tributes to

Amy Winehouse. Her family say she leaves a gaping hole in their lives.

And Lewis Hamilton produces a momental drive to take his second

win of the season in the German Grand Prix.

-- monumental drive to take his second win of the season in the

German Grand Prix. Good evening memorial services have

taken place across Norway to remember the 98 people who are

thought to have died in Friday's car bomb and mass shooting T man

who has been charged has told police he acted alone. Let's join

Jon Sopel, who is in Oslo this evening.

Thank you very much indeed. It has been raining none stop here this

afternoon. Beyond that a sea of umbrellas and raincoats. There is

now a carpet of flowers, of candles, of flags. Earlier, as that memorial

service ended, there was almost unbearable grief as many of the

survivors from Utoeya Island gathered by the flowers and hugged

each other and wailed. That sound echoed around the square, filled

with people who wanted to lend support to those who were suffering.

Our first report is from our correspondent Steve Rosenberg. This

is a nation united in grief and still in shock.

At Oslo Cathedral today they prayed for the victims of Friday's terror

attacks, the bomb blast and the youth camp massacre. In the

congregation and moved to tears were the King and Queen of Norway.

Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said he knew many of the victims

personally. Each and every one of those who has gone, is a tragedy,

he said. Together, it amounts to a national

tragedy. It's not just the scale of the

crime that has shaken Norway, it's the realisation that it was a

Norwegian citizen who did the killing. Outside the cathedral were

some of those who'd survived the shooting on the island. It was like,

I have no words, the feeling that you were going to die and the fear

that I heard so many shots of this gun. He never stopped shooting.

gunman, Anders Behring Breivik shot and injured Adrian Pracon, a

tkwrouth leader at the camp, -- youth leader at the camp, but he

managed to escape. He pointed the machine gun at me. I begged him,

"Please don't kill me. Stop." I don't know if he had some sympathy

or just couldn't see the pleasure of killing one person instead of a

group of people. He spared me that. Away from Oslo, this is the lake

where the shooting happened. We were taken to the scene of the

attack. We spotted a team of drivers, a -- divers, a grime sign

there could be more victims. We approached 100 metres of what had

been a holiday camp. Some people tried to hide behind buildings,

only to be discovered and killed. Some of the bodies of the victims

are still here, that is because the police want to build up a detailed

picture of the gunman's movements. A police boat signalled we'd come

too close, it was time to leave. On the island opposite we met this man,

who was returning to his holiday cottage. When he heard the shooting

he took his old boat and sailed to the camp to rescue people. He was

there before the police. I saw people on the shore of Utoeya

waving at us. We went in there. went to the island when the gunman

was still at large? We thought about that later. He was at large

at the time we were there. We didn't think about that. It's one

story of heroism, among so many nightmares.

Well, Anders Behring Breivik, the man in police custody has admitted

the bombing in Oslo and the island shootings. He said he believed the

attacks were gruesome, but necessary. More has been emerging

throughout the day of the political iedloling that drove him to kill so

many. Until 48 hours ago, even in Norway

few people had heard of Anders Behring Breivik. Today, his is one

of the most infamous faces in the world. The face of a man who wanted

to transform society and whose chosen method was mass murder. His

lawyer has been on Norwegian television to explain his motives.

TRANSLATION: What he said is he wanted a change of society and this

in his view, in his head must happen through a revolution. Just

before the attacks Anders Behring Breivik posted a 1500-page

Within hours the car bomb had exploded in Oslo. Then came the

rampage through the summer camp by a gunman who said he wanted to

bring about the foremost conservative revolutionary movement

in Western Europe. What people here are struggling to comprehend is

that Anders Behring Breivik was prepared to put his extremist

ideology into practise with such murderous consequences, that he

could come to a tranquil setting like this, for example, and not

only start shooting but carry on shueting for an hour and a --

shooting for an hour-and-a-half until nearly 100 of his countrymen

were dead. He rented this farm. Bags of fertiliser, which can be

used to make bombs were found piled up here.

He didn't farm the land properly, says a neighbour. He received a lot

of fertiliser, but had not used all of it on the land. After the

attacks more images were found on the internet. One showed him in a

wetsuit brandishing a weapon. It appears the warning signs had been

there, but no-one spotted them. And tomorrow promises to be another

uncomfortable day for Norwegians because Breivik has promised he

will explain something that most Norwegians think is totally

inexplicable. Jon, you have heard so many different voices in Oslo,

is there something in particular that people are focusing on as they

try to make sense of this? thing which has struck me,,

speaking to different people from different walks of life is coming

together in the face of such extraordinary adversity. If you

look at the people behind me, all different age groups, different

nationalities, different religions. People coming over to us saying, "I

am a Muslim, I am standing here as a Norwegian." Norway has until...

Been seen as a happy, outward looking, multi-cultural society.

That is something the man accused said he wants to destroy. The

response of these people is he's not going to be allowed to do it.

Thank you. In other news, the Business

Secretary has blamed what he called right wing nutters in the United

States for refusing to reach a compromise over its debt crisis.

Speaking on BBC One this morning, Mr Cable said the issue was a

bigger risk to the global economy than the problems in the eurozone.

Well, let's get the latest between Republicans and Democrats in

Washington. Is there any sign they are edging close to a deal? Well,

Michelle, President Obama's officials have been out on the

television talk shows saying they hope it is posstobl do a deal by

the time -- possible to do a deal by the time Asian markets open in

seven hours' time. Many are getting rattled. This is like a couple

Maxing out on their joint credit card. Where they need to

temporarily increase borrowing limits to sort out their financial

problems. This was an unlikely couple who never agreed on much.

President Obama and his Democrats say there has to be a mixture of

spending cuts and tax increases. The Republican opponents, including

a hard-line element say they will only expect -- accept spending cuts.

If they cannot agree in a week's time, no-one is sure what will

happen, but it could lead to the world tipping back into recession.

Thank you. Meanwhile, in Madrid thousands have

gathered to protest against Spanish Government's austerity cuts. Many

calling themselves The Indignants had marched for weeks to get to the

capital. They are angry at how the Government plans to reduce Spain's

deficit. The country has the highest rate of unemployment in the

eurozone. The family of Amy Winehouse say they have been left

bereft by the young singer's sudden death. The 27-year-old was found

dead at her home in London yesterday afternoon. It is still

not known how she died. Those utterly distinctive coal-rimed eyes,

Nestleed in what has become a shrine to Amy Winehouse. The hope

had been this would be the summer of her come-back tour. But after

this chaotic performance in Serbia, it was clear she wasn't fit to

perform. There was no sense of crisis, her father, who was a close

presence during her many ups and downs had been in New York when he

heard the news. Today, he returned to London. As

you can see, there are hundreds now gathered outside his daughter's

home paying their last respects. The family issued a brief statement,

Among the many people who tried to help during her years of addiction,

there was praise for what they had done, the support she had received

from her father. He really tried to do everything possible and the

record company did too. I worked with Ray, her manager and others

around her. They couldn't have done more to help her. The death though

is still unexplained. An examination will be carried out

this week. For the fans, the focus was the loss of the voice, the

talent, a life ended at just 27. Let's turn to a busy day in sports

news now. Lewis Hamilton has won the German Grand Prix ahead of

Fernando Alonso and Mark Webber. Sebastian Vettel failed to finish

on the podium for the first time this season. But he still leads the

Races. Lewis Hamilton appeared to be falling out of love with McLaren

this season. He complained they couldn't give him a good enough

challenge for honours. He was accused of flirting the Red Bull

team. That all changed this weekend. He said the qualifying lap was one

of his best ever. His start from second on the grid was pretty good

too. He used all his giel to stay ahead

of Mark Webber. Meanwhile, world champion Sebastian

Vettel was having a very rare bad day.

First Fernando Alonso passed him with ease, then this put pay to any

chance of victory in front of his home fans. A fourth place finish

his -- is his worst result this season. Hamilton and Webber fought

it out for victory and swapped the lead around the pit swaps. Just to

spice things up, Alonso was getting into the mix. Hamilton got the

better of him in the end. His McLaren team-mate was disappointed

after being forced to retire for the second race in a row. Webber

handed victory to Hamilton by four seconds from Alonso. The love

affair was rekindled. Hamilton says it was one of his

best ever races. It may be too little, too late for

his hopes of winning a second world title. Despite the victory moving

him up to third in the Drivers's Championship, he trails Vettel by

83 2 points. -- 82 points. Mark Cavendish is the

first British rider to claim the green sprint Jersey at the Tour de

France. After three gruelling weeks of

racing, he crossed the line ahead of the race on the Champs-Elysees

to claim his fifth stage win of this year's tour and his place on

the podium. Cadel Evans was the first

Australian to take the overall title and the famous yellow Jersey.

England have set India a target of 458 to win the first Test at Lords,

despite a batting collapse. Ishant Sharma led the Indian charge. A

century from Matt Prior and 74 from Stuart Broad left India with an

improbable target for victory on the final day. Celtic have their

Scottish Premier League campaign off to a winning start. They beat
