Tributes to the victims of the Cardiff hit-and-run attacks.

:00:14.:00:17.

A special church service is held as police continue to question a

:00:17.:00:24.

driver after a mother is killed and 13 others injured. Seizing back the

:00:24.:00:30.

agenda as David Cameron launches a new approach to law and order.

Hundreds take to the streets of the country's assassinated security

black football players boycott the Good evening. The brother of a

:00:58.:01:03.

woman killed by a van in a series of hit-and-run incidents in Cardiff

:01:03.:01:12.

paid tribute to her as a her rewin who sacrificed her own life to save

:01:12.:01:18.

her own children. Karina Menzies was killed on Friday afternoon. Her

:01:18.:01:22.

two children were injured. A special service has been held from

:01:22.:01:26.

where our correspondent joins us now. The service has come to an end

:01:26.:01:29.

in the last few minutes. It was an opportunity for people, maybe those

:01:29.:01:35.

who don't normally come here, to share a moment together. Friday's

:01:35.:01:39.

hit-and-run attacks all happened within just 30 minutes. Two days

:01:39.:01:44.

later, this is a community still in shock.

:01:44.:01:50.

A moment to pause and remember. Family, friends, neighbours fell

:01:50.:01:57.

silent to honour all 14 people injured in Friday's attacks. They

:01:57.:02:01.

include 32-year-old Karina Menzies, a mother killed as she walked with

:02:01.:02:07.

her children. In the midst of its grief her family is trying to find

:02:07.:02:11.

a way to support her daughters. There are plans to set up a trust

:02:11.:02:15.

fund. How important is it people pull together to support the three

:02:15.:02:19.

children? It is important. There are three girls. They have all

:02:19.:02:26.

their future ahead. Every bit of support is appreciated. These CCTV

:02:26.:02:30.

images show the white van on its chaotic journey around Cardiff. The

:02:30.:02:35.

driver is being questioned on suspicion of murder. More than 70

:02:35.:02:41.

officers are working on the investigation.

:02:41.:02:46.

This evening, hundreds packed a special service, held in the heart

:02:46.:02:52.

of the Ely community. The vicar called on people to show

:02:52.:02:58.

love at a time when they feel anger and grief. This must surely be

:02:58.:03:03.

perhaps the deepest grief we have shared as a community. This grief

:03:03.:03:09.

has broken the heart of our community. And the healing work

:03:09.:03:17.

that is now to be done will take a very, very long time.

:03:17.:03:21.

This is a community which feels wounded, but one which is

:03:21.:03:28.

determined to stand together. Well, over in another part of the

:03:28.:03:32.

city, detectives are continuing to question a 31-year-old man on

:03:32.:03:35.

suspicion of murder. They have until tomorrow morning either to

:03:35.:03:40.

charge or release him or apply to magistrates to detain him for a

:03:40.:03:45.

further 24 hours. Thank you. The Prime Minister will say in a

:03:45.:03:50.

speech tomorrow that Britain needs a tough, but intelligent approach,

:03:50.:03:54.

to tackling crime. David Cameron will try and put law and order

:03:54.:03:59.

policy into the public spotlight, arguing tougher sentencing can be

:03:59.:04:05.

combined with a passionate approach to stop re-offending.

:04:05.:04:08.

Crime is falling across Britain, but it is rising up the political

:04:08.:04:12.

agenda. In a speech tomorrow, David Cameron is expected to say tougher

:04:12.:04:17.

sentences need to be matched with better rehabilitation of offenders.

:04:17.:04:22.

He will hope that can come from extending payment by results for

:04:22.:04:26.

private companies working in prison. He is expected to say community

:04:26.:04:32.

sentences should be tougher and point to the plan to give automatic

:04:32.:04:35.

life sentences to some. Today, the Home Secretary revealed a new

:04:35.:04:39.

offence. If you look at organised crime gangs, one of the issues is

:04:39.:04:44.

we know there are middle-men who take firearms they rent out to

:04:44.:04:48.

criminals who then use them. There isn't, at the moment, an offence

:04:48.:04:53.

for somebody to possess a firearm with the intent to supply it to

:04:53.:04:56.

somebody else. It is right we introduce that offence. Those

:04:56.:05:00.

supplying the firearms are as guilty as those using them. Nearly

:05:00.:05:04.

six years after this, Number Ten insists David Cameron is not

:05:04.:05:08.

abandoning the tone he took as a new Conservative leader. So, when

:05:08.:05:16.

you see a child walking down a street, hoodie up, head down, moody,

:05:16.:05:21.

swaggering, dominating the pavement, think what has brought that child

:05:21.:05:27.

to that moment. The speech was dubbed "hug a hoodie." He never

:05:27.:05:31.

used the words and was written by this man. I understand he has to

:05:31.:05:37.

speak to a public who are concerned about crime levels and deeply

:05:37.:05:39.

frustrated about antisocial behaviour and high crime. However,

:05:39.:05:44.

it would be disappointing if he abandoned the much more intelligent

:05:44.:05:48.

and sophisticated rhetoric about the causes of crime and the way

:05:48.:05:51.

families and communities and schools give cultural messages

:05:51.:05:55.

about what is acceptable and what is not. Labour criticised the

:05:55.:05:58.

Government's approach. What is clear is David Cameron is doing

:05:58.:06:03.

what Tory leaders do hin the going gets tough - they lurch to the

:06:03.:06:09.

right. He has to say high he has been

:06:09.:06:13.

letting victims down. David Cameron will hope his tough, but

:06:14.:06:17.

intelligent message, is not dismissed as another law and order

:06:17.:06:22.

slogan, of which there have been many in the past.

:06:22.:06:27.

Security forces have clashed with protestors in Lebanon, who stormed

:06:27.:06:30.

Government buildings in Beirut following the funeral of the

:06:30.:06:34.

security chief, killed in a car bombing on Friday. Politicians have

:06:34.:06:38.

blamed Syria for the attack, which followed months of rising tension

:06:38.:06:48.
:06:48.:06:52.

From across this often divided country, thousands came to bay

:06:52.:07:00.

ruert's square for an event which - - Beirut's square for an event

:07:00.:07:04.

which was as much a show of defiance as a funeral.

:07:05.:07:14.
:07:15.:07:15.

Giant posters of General Wissam al- Hassan look down on the crowd. He

:07:15.:07:25.
:07:25.:07:26.

paid the ultimate price for daring to implement Syria. TRANSLATION:

:07:26.:07:30.

call on the judiciary not to be afraid. The people are with you. I

:07:30.:07:33.

call on the security forces to be steadfast. You have the support of

:07:33.:07:40.

the people. Last week's car bombing was the

:07:40.:07:50.
:07:50.:07:52.

first this city had seen in more than four years. Most here are in

:07:52.:07:55.

no Damascus was responsible. If the targeting of such a senior official

:07:55.:08:02.

was the work of Syria, it shows how easily and how deeply Syria can

:08:02.:08:05.

still penetrate Lebanese politics and society. That is what these

:08:05.:08:10.

people are here to protest against. We are here to show solidarity with

:08:10.:08:15.

the families of the victims. We are here to protest because our leaders

:08:15.:08:22.

are being killed, one after the other. We want the Government to

:08:22.:08:28.

step back. Not for terrorism, not for killing our best people. We

:08:28.:08:34.

want to live in peace. There's anger too with the

:08:34.:08:38.

authorities here. Clashes erupted after the funeral at the nearby

:08:38.:08:43.

Government palace. In the face of such poveation from Syria, say

:08:43.:08:50.

protestors, their own Government is weak and inactive.

:08:50.:08:56.

In Syria a car bomb has killed 13 people in Damascus. The device was

:08:56.:09:04.

detonated near a police station. The explosion happened hoil the

:09:04.:09:08.

international peace while the international peace envoy was in

:09:08.:09:13.

the country. Tomorrow night the BBC will broadcast Panorama looking

:09:13.:09:17.

into why the corporation dropped an investigation into Jimmy Savile.

:09:17.:09:21.

Panorama has seen the key e-mail exchanges between Newsnight staff,

:09:21.:09:25.

interviewed the reporter and the producer who were doing the Savile

:09:25.:09:29.

investigation. It is just three weeks since the

:09:29.:09:34.

first revelations about Jimmy Savile, yet there are now 400 lines

:09:34.:09:39.

of inquiry. Did no-one suspect anything before? Ken Clarke was the

:09:39.:09:44.

Secretary of State for Health when Savile was appointed head of a task

:09:44.:09:49.

force at Broadmoor hospital in 1998. He was regarded as a national hero,

:09:49.:09:55.

a man who did untold charitable work. Until two months ago no

:09:56.:09:59.

politician or journalist would dare attack Jimmy Savile. The next 48

:09:59.:10:03.

hours will be about the BBC. The Director-General will answer

:10:03.:10:07.

questions from MPs on Tuesday. Before that, an investigation by

:10:07.:10:13.

the BBC's own Panorama programme. The question it is asking is; high

:10:14.:10:18.

did the BBC drop a Newsnight investigation into Savile last

:10:18.:10:23.

year? Amongst those interviewed... After Savile died I was....

:10:23.:10:26.

reporter and producer who were looking into those allegations.

:10:26.:10:30.

They acquired the e-mails on the topic. The BBC said it dropped the

:10:30.:10:34.

inquiry because it could not prove institutional failure by the police

:10:34.:10:39.

or Crown Prosecution Service. Was that the original intention? Did

:10:39.:10:42.

anyone outside Newsnight influence that decision? One former head of

:10:42.:10:46.

the BBC feels that allegation is unbelievable.

:10:46.:10:51.

I would be very surprised if it was anyone other than the editor of

:10:51.:10:56.

news night and the conspiracy theory is someone at the top said

:10:56.:11:02.

"Don't do that." If someone at the top says "Don't do it." They do it

:11:02.:11:06.

and B, if they don't it gets leaked to everyone in the world. So, even

:11:06.:11:11.

though the BBC is conducting its own independent inquiries into the

:11:11.:11:15.

Savile affair, Panorama has got in first.

:11:15.:11:20.

Its conclusion - it's leaving that to viewers.

:11:20.:11:28.

Now, for a full round up of all the sports action we go to the BBC's

:11:28.:11:33.

Sport Centre. Thank you. Anton Ferdinand has become the latest

:11:33.:11:39.

player to publicly boycott the anti-racism campaign Kick It Out.

:11:39.:11:45.

His brother and others choose not to wear the T-shirts before their

:11:45.:11:50.

matches yesterday. Displaying the colours of anti-racism campaign

:11:50.:11:56.

used to be uncontroversial. Some at Loftus Road decided toer with the

:11:56.:12:01.

Kick It Out T-shirts. Some wore their normal kit, joining a number

:12:01.:12:06.

of colleagues in a boycott, in the protest of the game's handling of

:12:06.:12:11.

race issues. One protestor was Anton Ferdinand. The man found to

:12:11.:12:16.

be abused by John Terry last year. Yesterday, his brother, Rio, opted

:12:16.:12:20.

out. His manager said he will be dealt with. The players' union are

:12:20.:12:23.

backing him, but also support the campaign.

:12:23.:12:27.

Of course there was a football match to be getting on with. A

:12:27.:12:37.
:12:37.:12:37.

rather important one for QPR. They started it in ideal fashion.

:12:37.:12:45.

The Hoops tend to get themselves in knots at the other end though.

:12:45.:12:51.

Any momentum Everton were building fell away with one decision - this

:12:51.:12:55.

challenge, a second yellow card. The talking point of this match

:12:55.:13:05.
:13:05.:13:07.

Sunderland had to settle for a point. John O'Shea's header was

:13:07.:13:13.

diverted in by Demba Ba. Four minutes from time, cancelling out

:13:13.:13:18.

Johan Cabaye's earlier strike. Hearts are up to eighth place in

:13:18.:13:24.

the Scottish Premier League after a 1-0 win over Motherwell.

:13:24.:13:26.

Danny Grainger scored the only goal of the game.

:13:26.:13:33.

Hearts get their first home league win since the opening day of the

:13:33.:13:37.

season. Jonny Brownlee has followed in his brother's footsteps by

:13:37.:13:40.

winning the world triathlon title. He built up a lead heading into the

:13:41.:13:45.

last of the eight races. He needed a top-three finish in Auckland to

:13:45.:13:55.
:13:55.:13:55.
