Up to 150 people are now feared dead in Nigeria after a series of | :00:09. | :00:14. | |

Hello, good evening. Almost 150 people are feared to have been | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
killed in a way of co-ordinated bomb attacks in northern Nigeria. A | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
militant Islamist group said it carried out the killings. Hospitals | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
in the city of Kano, Nigeria's second largest city, have been | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
struggling to cope with the number of dead and wounded. Our | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
correspondent Mark Doyle has travelled to Kano, and his report | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
contains distressing injuries -- images. | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
Bombs were... Across the city, and fires burned late into the night. - | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
- bombs went off. By morning, the extent of the devastation was clear, | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
no surprise to residents who heard a series of huge explosions and | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
numerous gun battles. The sounds of explosions, four of them before I | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
came out. On my way out, I saw a dead body, a young man lying dead. | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
No-one knows for certain how many died. That is hardly surprising. | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
The police force, the key organ of the state, was the deliberate main | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
target. Sow confusion reigned. But from what I learned at the main | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
city mortuary, where anxious families gathered, and from other | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
sources, the figure must be well over 100 dead. I have spoken to | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
mortuary attendant to say they are struggling to cope with the number | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
of dead bodies. It is terrible in there, one of them told me, | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
absolutely terrible. There are police officers, said police | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
officers still in their uniforms. - - Dead police of us are still in | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
their uniforms. A senior official told the death toll was likely to | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
rise. The number of attacks are multiple, and there are so many | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
buildings that were involved, so many people will be buried under | :03:01. | :03:10. | |
the debris. So the Red Cross and other agencies are working hard to | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
unearth some of the victims. radical Islamist group known as | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
Boko Haram said it carried out the attacks. It is one of the most | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
devastating onslaughts in the Nigerian state for years. Boko | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
Haram wants to end democracy year and bring in a strict Islamic state. | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
-- here. It all adds up to a massive problem for the | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
democratically elected and Christiane President of Nigeria, | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
Goodluck Jonathan. Nigerian politics always reflects the | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
tensions between the mainly Christian south and the | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
predominantly Muslim north. Many Nigerians say it is no coincidence | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
that Boko Haram is causing mayhem during a time when Nigeria as a | :03:53. | :04:03. | |

A woman's body has been recovered from the wreck of the Italian | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
cruise liner, Costa Concordia. She was found wearing a lifejacket in a | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
submerged part of the ship. It brings the confirmed a number of | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
dead to 12, while 20 other people are still unaccounted for. Luisa | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
Baldini reports from the island of Giglio. | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
Landing on top of the Concordia, Italian firefighters are winched | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
down to continue their search of the dry parts of the ship. At sea | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
level, divers who had been preparing since Dawn used explosive | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
devices to blast holes into the side of the ship on the 5th deck. | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
We carried out some controlled explosions to break down these big | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
windows. Bruno, a navy commander, showed me where the divers had been | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
working. The ship that we had searched his full of water, no air | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
inside at this moment. The search operation has been stopping and | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
starting over the last few days, and that has prompted questions | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
about how long exactly it is going to last. The Italian coastguard | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
says they will continue until they are confident every part of the | :05:17. | :05:27. | |
:05:27. | :05:27. | ||
But scouring this colossal steel carcass is taking time, so the | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
authorities are now considering the possibility of beginning to pump | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
oil out of the Concordia while the search continues. More than 2000 | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
tonnes of fuel are still on board, prompting fears of an environmental | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
disaster. Already there has been a slight leak of engine oil, as | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
opposed to heavy fuel oil, but it has been contained. The authorities | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
are not taking any chances, and an Italian navy ship which specialises | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
in oil spills has been moored nearby as a precaution. It is a | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
floating device which basically will attract the oil and separate | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
it from the water, and then we can use our Shipbourne equipment to | :06:14. | :06:23. | |
pump this oil into power storage An unmanned submarine is monitoring | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
the ledge on which the Concordia is resting. Debris from the shed and | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
passengers' belongings are strewn across the sheet -- sea bed. On the | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
surface, relatives of some of those still missing through flowers today | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
near the wreck. Many are waiting here on Giglio for the search to be | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
completed. Tonight, it has been confirmed that divers have | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
recovered a safe from their captain's Qazvin. Once opened, the | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
contents will be handed to prosecutors in their investigation. | :06:56. | :07:06. | |
A prominent Irish Republican who was cleared yesterday of murdering | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
two British soldiers in 2009 is claiming his DNA was planted in the | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
getaway car. Colin Duffy was acquitted of killing Royal | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
Engineers Patrick Azimkar and Mark Quinsey in a gun attack by | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
dissident republicans. Ireland correspondent Mark Simpson reports. | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
Colin Duffy spent almost three years in jail awaiting trial. He | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
walked from court yesterday a free man. He has always denied killing | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
sappers Patrick Azimkar and Mark Quinsey. Today he spoke in public | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
about the murders for the first time. We state quite categorically | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
here that I had no involvement in what happened at Massereene, no | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
involvement whatsoever. So how can he explain his DNA being found in | :07:52. | :08:01. | |
the getaway car? My DNA was, in my opinion, planted. In the past two | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
decades, Colin Duffy has been accused of five murders. In 1993, | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
he was jailed for the murder of a retired soldier. Seen here on the | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
left inside the Maze prison on a Sportsday, his conviction was later | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
overturned and he was released. In 1997, he was accused of murdering | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
two policemen, but the charges were later dropped. He was arrested | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
again in 2009 over the debts of the two soldiers in Antrim, but | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
yesterday he was acquitted. -- deaths. One man has been convicted | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
of the murders, 46-year-old Brian Shivers, but the police say the | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
investigation will continue. Detectives believe up to six people | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
were involved in the killings, and next week they are expected to | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
appeal for more information from the public in Northern Ireland to | :08:53. | :09:01. | |
help bring them to justice. Voting has begun in the US state of | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
South Carolina as Republican candidates continue their battle | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
for presidential nomination. Opinion polls suggest it will be a | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
tight race between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. For the very latest, | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
we can cross to North America editor Mark Mardell. Not long now | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
until the polls close, how important his South Carolina? | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
People here are seeing this as very important indeed, because ever | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
since these contests began in 1980, whichever Republican won South | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
Carolina has gone on to win their party's nomination. But a word of | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
warning, that is a historical fact, not some sort of iron rule that it | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
must happen. More important is that the whole picture of this race is | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
that Mitt Romney has been out in front, everyone has assumed he will | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
be the guy in the end he faces the President Obama in the battle for | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
the White House in November, but Conservatives are not keen on him. | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
They think he is too moderate, and this is their best chance of | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
puncturing that sense of inevitable victory, and the opinion polls do | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
indeed indicate that Newt Gingrich could win tonight. If that happens, | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
it is not all over by any means, and in fact the race will go on | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
longer, the tight and tricky as it moves on to Florida and other | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
states. -- the tight and trickier. Officials tried to find the source | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
of a bacteria that killed three babies at their hospital in Belfast | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
have been carrying out a deep clean in the affected area. A total of | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
six babies are confirmed to have been affected by the outbreak at | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
the neonatal unit at the Royal Maternity Hospital. Authorities say | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
they are doing everything they can to eradicate the bacteria. | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
British officials are preparing to fly home the body of the hostage | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
Alan McMenemy after it was handed over to the UK embassy in Baghdad | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
yesterday. Mr McMenemy, a security guard, was one of five men taken by | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
shed militants in 2007. Frank Gardner has this report. -- Shi'ite | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
militants. Alan McMenemy speaking from | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
captivity before being killed some time ago by Iraqi militants. Five | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
years after he was kidnapped, they have handed over his body. He is | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
the last of five British hostages to be returned from Iraq, ending | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
Britain's longest running kidnap crisis for a generation. It began | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
here in Iraq's finance ministry, where a British IT specialist was | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
working in these offices, protected by four bodyguards. Someone tipped | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
off a well-armed Shi'ite militia. In broad daylight, the five Britons | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
were snatched from the Ministry. Dozens of gunmen arrived in | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
vehicles, dressed as policemen, and drove them towards a Shi'ites | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
district. They were beaten, stripped and eventually separated. | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
Their captors, a Shi'ite militia, demanded a prisoner swap. They | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
wanted the release of their own leaders government says it does not | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
give in to kidnappers' demands, but it mobilised huge resources to try | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
to free the men. Now that all five of these hostages in Iraq are | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
accounted for, the question remains, did the British government and | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
specifically the Foreign Office to the best job it could be in trying | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
to get them out alive? It insisted that the time on minimal publicity, | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
yet four out of five of the men died in captivity. Peter Moore was | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
the only survivor. We asked him if he thought the government did | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
enough. I believe that what the Foreign Office did at the time was | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
well-intentioned, but it was a bad result. That is all that I can save. | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
Really, I suppose they need to review it and sort of not do | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
whatever they did with the next hostage case, try to get a better | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
result. Other kidnap cases in Iraq have turned out better. Peace | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
activist Norman Kember was rescued by British special forces. But | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
charity worker Margaret Hassan was killed in 2004. The cappers | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
complained the British government would not negotiate. -- their | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
captors. And Ken Bickley was killed by Al-Qaeda. In both cases, their | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
bodies have never been returned, driving -- depriving their families | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
of final closure. Now, at today's board with Amanda | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
Davies. -- Today's sport. John McEnroe is | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
renowned for being hard to please, but he gave Andy Murray an A-plus | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
for his third-round performance at the Australian Open. He booked his | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
place in the second week with victory over Michael Llodra or to | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
continue his quest for a first Grand Slam title. Tim Franks was | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
watching. Andy Murray is a Scot who seems to | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
feel at home in Australia. He is now gunning for his third | :13:45. | :13:52. | |
consecutive final there. In his way today, Michael Llodra, defenceless | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
early against Murray's deadly pirouette. The Frenchman had | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
earlier questioned whether Murray might be too passive. The world | :14:00. | :14:08. | |
number four's riposte was an intentionally painful. The | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
Frenchman was no fall-guy, though. As the angles grew more acute, he | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
pushed a winner around the net. To top that, try settling the second | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
set with a last-ditch hot dog followed by a backwards somersault. | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
Les Dennis, more circus. The Frenchman was spent and could only | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
stare in weary or as Murray swept the third set to love with a | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
perfect lob. The Scot is through to the last 16 and, whisper it quietly, | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
playing very, very well. With four of the top five in the | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
Premier League playing tomorrow, today was the chance for Chelsea | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
and Liverpool to make up ground. Match Of The Day follows the news | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
here on BBC One, so close your ears and look away if you do not want me | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
to spoil the surprise. Struggling Bolton sprang a surprise | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
with a 3-1 win over Liverpool to move out of the relegation zone, | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
leaving Liverpool with just one win from six Premier League games. | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
