:00:26. > :00:30.Good afternoon. Staff are preparing to deep-clean a
:00:30. > :00:33.neonatal unit in Belfast where throw babies have died from a
:00:33. > :00:36.bacterial infection. Efforts are continuing to identify the source
:00:36. > :00:41.of the pseudomonas outbreak at the Royal Victoria Hospital. A fourth
:00:41. > :00:45.child is being treated for the infection. We have this report.
:00:45. > :00:49.The results of tests carried out on all of the babies in the unit at
:00:49. > :00:55.the time of the outbreak have come back. A further four newborns were
:00:55. > :00:59.found to have been affected by the bug. Two have recovered, one is
:00:59. > :01:03.receiving treatment, but another died of an unrelated cause.
:01:03. > :01:08.Pseudomonas is a bacteria that can be carried on the skin and spread
:01:08. > :01:11.by touch it is most dangerous to those already ill, especially
:01:11. > :01:17.infants and those with lung problems as it causes severe
:01:17. > :01:21.breathing difficulties. The source of the jub is yet to be identified.
:01:21. > :01:26.The hospitals here in this complex in Belfast makes up effectively,
:01:26. > :01:29.the centre of healthcare in Northern Ireland. The Royal Jubilee
:01:29. > :01:32.Maternity Hospital has a strong reputation. Healthcare
:01:32. > :01:37.professionals from outside of the Belfast Trust have expressed
:01:37. > :01:41.confidence that everything that can be done is being done.
:01:41. > :01:45.The, obviously, trying to track the source of the organism. They are
:01:45. > :01:50.doing a deep-clean. They are obviously monitoring all of the
:01:50. > :01:54.babies who could possibly have been infected thoroughly indeed. Clearly
:01:54. > :01:59.one baby is being treated for infection. It is hard to say
:01:59. > :02:04.anything else that they could do. Consultants have not ruled out
:02:04. > :02:09.further testing. Hospitals across the UK are well versed in carrying
:02:09. > :02:12.out deep cleans where bacterial outbreaks occur, a similar protest
:02:12. > :02:17.is under way at the Royal Victoria Hospital.
:02:17. > :02:21.Lawyers for some of the survivors of the Italian cruise liner, the
:02:21. > :02:26.Costa Concordia claim that passengers should be given �100,000
:02:26. > :02:30.each in compensation. This morning a search and rescue team has
:02:30. > :02:34.boarded the ship. At least 11 people are known to have died in
:02:34. > :02:39.the accident, 24 are unaccounted for. Officials say that they will
:02:39. > :02:43.not stop looking until the whole ship has been searched. We are live
:02:43. > :02:49.at the scene now with Luisa Baldini. What is the latest on the search
:02:49. > :02:54.operation? There has been a lot of activity. It started at dawn. We
:02:54. > :03:00.saw scuba divers getting into their wet suits. The first team went to
:03:00. > :03:05.the wreck at David Beckham, the main aim to gain access to the
:03:05. > :03:09.fifth deck on the submerged side of the ship. This do that they carried
:03:09. > :03:14.out explosions to make holes inside of the vessel. It was then up to a
:03:14. > :03:18.separate group of divers to get in and start the search. I asked a
:03:18. > :03:24.colleague of theirs, if up until now on any of the dives they have
:03:24. > :03:27.found an air pocket, but the answer was that there were no air pockets,
:03:27. > :03:32.just water. Have they given an indication as to how long the
:03:32. > :03:35.search operation will continue? There is a news conference being
:03:35. > :03:39.held at the moment. A type of briefing. We are hoping to hear
:03:39. > :03:44.more, but this morning, certainly, the coastguards told me that they
:03:44. > :03:47.will not stop until they are confident that every part of the
:03:47. > :03:51.shy has been everyone ised, but they keep stopping and starting
:03:51. > :03:56.because of fears that the ship is moving, so it is taking a very long
:03:56. > :04:00.time. Until they have completed the search phase, the salvage teams
:04:00. > :04:03.can't start pumping out the 2,000 tonnes of oil. While the oil
:04:03. > :04:09.remains on board, there are concerns for the environment,
:04:09. > :04:15.should there be a leak. To that end, an Italian Naval ship has been
:04:15. > :04:18.deployed here that specialises in oil spills. It is moored close to
:04:18. > :04:22.the wreck of the Costa Concordia. I was taken on board this morning,
:04:22. > :04:25.but the commander said that they are just waiting, they are here as
:04:25. > :04:30.a precaution. Thank you very much.

:04:33. > :04:38.British officials in Baghdad have said that the family can now grieve
:04:38. > :04:42.for him properly. Alan McMenemy was one of four security guards taken
:04:42. > :04:47.hostage along with an IT consultant Iraq in 2007. The bodies of the
:04:47. > :04:51.three other guards were handed over in 2009. The consultants Moore, was
:04:51. > :04:54.later released alive. The Foreign Office says it is
:04:54. > :04:59.helping a woman and her daughter from Birmingham after her husband
:04:59. > :05:03.was shot dead in front of them in Pakistan.

:05:10. > :05:14.during a family visit to Rawalpindi earlier in the month.
:05:14. > :05:21.Eye witnesses in Nigeria have told the BBC they have counted more than
:05:21. > :05:25.20 bodies after a series of blasts in the city of Kano.
:05:25. > :05:30.The militant Islamist group, Boko Haram said that it carried out the
:05:30. > :05:35.attack. We have this report from the capital, Abuja.
:05:35. > :05:40.Fires and chaos, the immediate after math of the attacks. This was
:05:40. > :05:46.one of several police stations targeted in Kano. The assault by
:05:46. > :05:48.the armed militants spread panic across this huge northern Nigerian
:05:48. > :05:53.city. The sounds of explosions, four of
:05:53. > :05:59.them before I came out. Then I saw a dead body on my way out. A young
:05:59. > :06:03.man was lying dead. I proceeded for then to the emigration office, that
:06:03. > :06:08.was where the first bomb-blast started in front of the gate.
:06:09. > :06:13.This was perhaps the most brazen attack yet by Boko Haram, an shrath
:06:13. > :06:18.International Cricket Council group that's emerged a -- an Islamist
:06:18. > :06:26.group that has emerged, a group responsible for a wave of attacks
:06:26. > :06:31.across northern Nigeria. On Christmas Day, the Boko Haram
:06:31. > :06:36.group attacked churches, the group, its name means forbidden, warned
:06:36. > :06:40.all Christians to leave the north. The President here has called the
:06:40. > :06:45.crisis worse than a Civil War. Today, the city of Kano is under
:06:45. > :06:51.strict curfew, but the attacks, designed as a show of force, have
:06:51. > :06:55.exposed the limitations of Nigeria's security services.
