The second suspect is captured after a dramatic gun battle. The teenager

is arrested in a massive police operation. He is critically wounded

in hospital. Celebrations and relief in Boston after five days of terror.

Over 150 people are killed and thousands injured after an

earthquake in China. And security has been tightened as last minute

preparations are made for tomorrow's ended after a dramatic gun battle in

the early hours of this morning. The teenager suspected of carrying out

the marathon bombings is in hospital in a serious condition and under

armed guard after he was arrested in a massive police operation. Tonight,

a special interrogation team is waiting to question the 19-year-old.

Our North America correspondent, Ian Pannell, has our first report on the

capture of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. No one could have imagined it would end

like this. The late-night climax of an ex-gardener a week. As the

suspect in the Boston bombing was cornered, shot and driven away. The

curfew lifted, the danger passed and people poured from their homes to

celebrate. It is a mark of just how tense the city has been that

hundreds came onto the streets to give thanks and be together. We are

just celebrating being American. Being from a country where you

cannot be desensitised to the sort of stuff that happens in other

places. I just feel so bad for all of the victims in this tragedy and

it just seems so close to us. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was a 19-year-old

student and he and his brother, the prime suspect in the bombing. His

brother was killed in a gun battle with police earlier. Dzhokhar

Tsarnaev manage to get away but after a tipoff, a police helicopter

using thermal imaging find him hiding in a boat. We have

Tsarnaev opened fire. A neighbour filmed the police response. Simply

outgunned, he was forced to the ground and surrendered. It which

message from the Boston police Department said it all - captured,

the hunt is over, the terror is over. This is the ordinary

residential street where the hunt from one of the suspects came to

such a dramatic climax in the middle of the night. For now, the road has

been cordoned off while police search through the boat in the house

for any remaining close. Today, neighbours reclaimed their street,

relieved but what unanswered questions about what happened. What

is the point? There is no sense to this. What did it achieve? Nothing.

Last night it was almost celebratory, there was relief, but

at the same time, this happened because of terrible tragedy. It is

not the sort of neighbourhood you expect to hide on the floor with her

children in. So, a week that began and ended with bloodshed is over.

But for the injured and breathed, the suffering goes on. -- bereaved.

As the manhunt ends, the FBI investigation is still in its early

stages. President Obama said many questions remained about what

motivated the attacks in Boston and he said the survivors deserved

answers. Mark Mardell reports now on the suspects. The brothers who

allegedly bombed Boston chose to become Americans. Their families

from Chechnya but Tamerlan Tsarnaev was 16 when he came to America,

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev about nine years old. The president asked the

question... Why did young men who grew up and studied here as part of

our communities and in our country, resort to such violence? The US is

made of immigrants and the boys came here wanting a better life. Boston

in particular is a city of immigration. But by the English,

developed by the Irish, this is Little Italy and today, a quarter of

the population are foreign-born, from the Caribbean, South America

and Vietnam. It is of critical interest as too wide to brothers

turned on their homeland. Investigators have examined their

social media profiles. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev said, one decade and I want

out. His older brother was questioned by the FBI two years ago

after a foreign government warned he was a strong follower of radical

Islam. They found no evidence of connection with terrorism. He

appeared to have got it wrong but there is no explanation as to why he

might become radical. His younger brother is even more puzzling. He

generally seemed more interesting -- interested in partying than

politics. The boy that I knew was not extreme and anyway. He was

Moslem and people said, I have heard that he was always a Moslem, but he

never skipped practice to go to the mosque. He said yes, but I am not

really a Moslem. He talked like that. Their mother says they have

been framed. I am 100 % sure that this has been set up. Boston's be

covered baseball team played today, a chance for the city to relax a

little after a terrible week. But the mood is not quite carefully. Are

you permanently frightened? I absolutely think so, just standing

next to a trash can, I thought about that. I have lived in my heart

always and I will be at the finish line next year unable not be afraid.

There is relief that the uncertainty is over what a lot of unanswered

questions remain. Mark is in Boston. We heard in the report that

the authorities have been alerted to one of the brothers. Is there any

feeling that vital information was missed? A strong sense of that will

develop over the coming days. Because a foreign government, and it

does not take any leap of the imagination to think that I'd be the

Russians, warned the FBI that the older brother was a strong follower

of radical Islam. Not only that, but they said he had changed in the

previous year and he planned to journey to areas of that country and

join what they describe as underground groups. We know that

Chechnya has a very strong violent powerful separatist movement and so

the FBI said they talked to him and investigated and they listened to

his phone calls and looked at his websites and they said there was no

connection with terrorism that they found and they asked the government

for more information but never heard anything. It is really difficult to

conclude anything or if they missed something serious. Thank you very

much. Here, 3,000 people have been given the MMR vaccination in South

Wales today as special measles clinics opened for a third week

running. Hundreds of cases have been reported in the Swansea area since

November. The outbreak is also believed to have claimed its first

victim. Gareth Williams, who was 25 and from Swansea, died on Thursday.

Over 150 people have been killed and more than 5,000 injured in an

earthquake in China. The quake triggered multiple landslides and

rescuers struggled to reach the worst affected areas in mountainous

parts of the south western province of Sichuan. From there, Damian

Grammaticas has sent this report. Even in a region prone to

earthquakes, this was a huge tremor. The shaking went on for around one

minute and was felt hundreds of miles away. It was at eight a.m.

Local time and it sends people hurrying into the open for safety.

This man says it kept shaking and he rushed outside in his pyjamas. The

epicentre was in the mountains of Sichuan province, at the edge of the

Tibetan plateau. A region of steep valleys peppered with towns and

villages. What made it devastating was that it was relatively shallow.

Buildings were smashed and roads cut open, power lines and communications

severed. In some cases, almost all buildings caved in. But China is

well prepared to deal with major disasters. Rescue teams were soon

flooding into the area. It is reported they have dug around 100

trapped people out. Among them, one pregnant woman and at least two

children, rushed away for treatment. With buildings unsafe to stay in,

thousands of injured have to be cared for in the open. Let into the

night, rescue teams were still at work and here at the hospital, they

have had to move patients who were already in the building out to

create space for the wounded from the earthquake itself. There have

been well over 100 after-shocks since and that is making all of this

that much more difficult. Football and Match of the Day follows the

news on BBC One so if you don't want to know the Premier League results,

look away now. QPR and Reading could be relegated in the next 48 hours

after both lost today. QPR were beaten 2-0 by Stoke at Loftus Road.

They're now ten points from safety with only 12 points left to play

for. Elsewhere, Arsenal are up to third after beating Fulham 1-0 while

Reading lost at Norwich. Sunderland beat Everton 1-0. Swansea drew

against Southampton, West Brom against Newcastle was also a draw

and Wigan remain in the relegation zone after losing at West Ham. There

have been more anti-government protests in Bahrain ahead of

tomorrow's Formula one grumble. -- Grand Prix. The Mercedes of Nico

Rosberg will start on pole position. It qualified ahead of world

champion, Sebastian Vettel. His team-mate, Lewis Hamilton, will

start from ninth place on the grid. Finally, the Metropolitan Police has

deployed several hundred extra officers for tomorrow's London

Marathon. It is to reassure the public in the wake of Monday's

attack in Boston. Some of those who will be running have been taking

part in a church service, where prayers were said for the victims.

Tonight, the annual service of thanks giving for the London

Marathon. But thoughts are dominated by a tragedy in a race on the other

side of the Atlantic. May our hearts be pierced with compassion by those

who suffer. And for those who have inflicted this violence. Events in

Boston have inevitably cast a shadow over preparations for tomorrow's

race. But as runners registered for the race this afternoon, the mood

was defiant. It was disconcerting when I saw the news on Monday but

since then, I thought, the best thing is to run and get on with it.

People pull together. It will bring people more together. Hundreds of

extra police officers will be on duty along the route, all part of an

enhanced security operation. Organisers say they are confident.

Yes, we have had greater challenges in the last week than normally.

this is about the preparation that you have done before that and that

aims you can be assured about the work you have done and why the event

will be fantastic. In one sense, the events in Boston could actually help

the police here tomorrow. It is likely that the tens of thousands of

runners and spectators will be particularly alert to any suspicious

behaviour or unattended bags. That could be the biggest contribution to

security of all. After a dramatic week in the marathon world, everyone
