:01:35. > :01:41.My first reaction was to jump on the floor. We were just sitting there
:01:41. > :01:50.and all of sudden, we started hearing gunshots on the ground floor
:01:50. > :01:54.on the first floor. People started running, you could hear people
:01:54. > :02:04.screaming. People were crying around me. In a desperate panic, many
:02:04. > :02:15.managed to escape, but some were killed. There was shooting on the
:02:15. > :02:25.ground floor and they are going up and up. The situation is very bad
:02:25. > :02:31.inside. Initial reports said it was a robbery and then police referred
:02:31. > :02:35.to the gunman as terrorists. One witness described high the attackers
:02:35. > :02:47.separated Muslims and non-Muslims. Another said they belonged to the
:02:47. > :02:55.Somali militant group, Al Shabbat. -- Al Shabab. They put tear gas into
:02:55. > :02:57.women and children. Later, Army marksmen joined in to help. The
:02:57. > :03:03.women and children. Later, Army authorities have long feared a

:03:13. > :03:22.scene in Nairobi. Bring us up to date with the latest.
:03:22. > :03:29.It has been quiet for about one are -- for about one hour and the
:03:29. > :03:32.gunfire has moved further away from the scene of this siege. We
:03:32. > :03:37.understand one of the attackers may have been shot dead inside the
:03:37. > :03:40.shopping mall. We have received reports that one suspect has been
:03:40. > :03:47.arrested in hospital. There are witnesses who say another attacker

:03:53. > :03:59.changed his clothes and walk with Our security correspondent is in
:03:59. > :04:03.that studio -- in the studio. Has there been any response from the
:04:03. > :04:08.Foreign Office? They have been quick to respond. The Foreign Secretary
:04:08. > :04:11.says he is appalled by the attack. The Foreign Office are putting out
:04:11. > :04:15.advice, saying they are monitoring the situation closely and urging
:04:15. > :04:19.people to stay clear. At the moment there do not appear to have been any
:04:19. > :04:25.British nationals caught up in it but it was so confused, it is
:04:25. > :04:29.possible that they work, and they are standing by with conscious
:04:29. > :04:35.advice. Nobody has yet claimed responsibility. Most suspicions are
:04:35. > :04:40.falling on, possibly prematurely, Al Shabab. They have threatened to
:04:40. > :04:45.attack this exact mall and it is a high-profile place frequented by
:04:45. > :04:48.foreigners. They have a beef with high-profile place frequented by
:04:48. > :05:00.the Kenya government. They are on the back foot in that country, so
:05:00. > :05:04.they are the natural suspects. The Labour leader Ed Miliband has
:05:04. > :05:07.set out plans to tackle what he calls the UK's cost-of-living prices
:05:07. > :05:13.ahead of his party's conference in Brighton. He said his party will
:05:13. > :05:17.strengthen the minimum wage, improve access to childcare and abolish the
:05:17. > :05:23.so-called bedroom tax if it wins the next election.
:05:23. > :05:28.Among the Saturday shoppers and Labour supporters this morning, a
:05:28. > :05:32.party leader out to persuade his audience that he can make some of
:05:32. > :05:37.them a bit better off. When we think about one of the big banks, do we
:05:37. > :05:39.think they can't afford to pay their cleaners is a bit more? Do we think
:05:39. > :05:44.think they can't afford to pay their they can't afford to play their --
:05:44. > :05:52.pay their cleaners a bit more? I agree with you. Not everyone in
:05:52. > :05:56.Labour has been cheering him. They have been demanding policies so,
:05:56. > :06:02.now, some ideas, like a review of the minimum wage, asking if the
:06:02. > :06:05.rules could change where sectors like finance will pay more. Labour
:06:05. > :06:10.wants to guarantee primary schools will offer childcare from 8am to
:06:10. > :06:16.6pm, but there is no extra money. The party would reverse the housing
:06:16. > :06:20.benefit change it calls the bedroom tax, a promise that Labour says it
:06:20. > :06:29.can fund but its opponents say will lead to more borrowing. It went down
:06:29. > :06:32.well in the street. Ed Miliband's supporters know he is good at this
:06:32. > :06:35.sort of thing but they know he will have to reach a bigger audience than
:06:35. > :06:46.this at the end of the conference. People who aren't £-- people who
:06:46. > :06:57.earn 50,000 to £60,000 should not expect tax breaks, so the party. Ed
:06:57. > :07:02.Miliband has already got £1 million less for the party. Ed Miliband
:07:02. > :07:06.needs to deliver this week with common-sense policies based in
:07:07. > :07:13.people's realities. And reminders of old struggles as well, as Gordon 's
:07:13. > :07:17.-- Gordon Brown's former spin doctor tells of that link Tony Blair's
:07:17. > :07:21.team. Aware that this party conference means people are
:07:21. > :07:25.watching, Ed Miliband was trying to show his tender side today. Things
:07:25. > :07:31.will get much tougher than this before the conference is done.
:07:31. > :07:36.Two men have appeared in court charged with the theft of £1.3
:07:36. > :07:40.million from Barclays Bank. They were arrested yesterday and accused
:07:41. > :07:45.of installing a device on a computer in north London, that allowed them
:07:45. > :07:49.to transfer the money. Police have raided addresses across the city and
:07:49. > :07:52.seized cash, jewellery, drugs and credit cards. Police in Birmingham
:07:53. > :07:56.have become a murder investigation after an 18-year-old man was stabbed
:07:56. > :08:00.to death. He was attacked in the Selly Oak
:08:00. > :08:06.area last night and later died in hospital. West Midlands Police said
:08:06. > :08:10.the motive for the attack is clear. The phone maker Blackberry has
:08:10. > :08:14.confirmed it is to cut more than 4000 jobs worldwide, about 40% of
:08:14. > :08:19.its workforce. It is not clear how many staff would be affected but its
:08:19. > :08:23.European headquarters -- at its European headquarters in Slough. It
:08:23. > :08:25.was once the market leader but the company is expected to announce
:08:25. > :08:31.hundreds of millions of pounds of losses next week.
:08:32. > :08:35.It used to be the must have device for business users and for those who
:08:35. > :08:38.wanted their e-mails any time, anywhere. Demand has fallen off a
:08:38. > :08:45.cliff and the company's share price is down 26% as the launch of the
:08:45. > :08:51.iPhone in 2007. Now, Blackberry says it is cutting its workforce by 40%,
:08:51. > :08:53.4500 jobs worldwide, some of whom will be in the UK. The company
:08:53. > :08:58.warned of losses in the current will be in the UK. The company
:08:58. > :09:02.quarter of over £600 million. Blackberry users use to find their
:09:02. > :09:11.phones so addictive that they nicknamed it the CrackBerry. Lately,
:09:11. > :09:13.they have gone for smartphones. It is to executive and for e-mails and
:09:13. > :09:20.things like that. There's nothing interesting on it. You have a
:09:20. > :09:23.BlackBerry? Yes, the key phones aren't the best. Do you know they
:09:23. > :09:30.are shedding jobs? I do. Is that is aren't the best. Do you know they
:09:30. > :09:37.a prize? They have lost a lot of market share. Blackberry still has
:09:37. > :09:44.great handsets and technology and it will still focus on its enterprise
:09:44. > :09:48.arm of the business. I think Blackberry will struggle but there
:09:48. > :09:56.is a business left and the enterprise business has a chance. If
:09:56. > :10:00.Blackberry is to survive by selling itself, it will have to do so
:10:00. > :10:05.quickly, while the brand and patents are still worth something.
:10:05. > :10:09.England's women have had a triumphant start to their World Cup
