Good afternoon. Services are being held today in England, America and | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
Scotland, to mark the 25th anniversary of the Lockerbie bombing | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
in which 270 people died. Most of the passengers and crew onboard the | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
plane were US citizens. 11 people were killed by the falling debris. | :00:35. | :00:43. | |
Laura Bicker is in Lockerbie. Laura. Relatives of those killed will come | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
here in an hour to this blustery cemetery to lay reefs and remember | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
their loved ones. A minutes silence will be held at the local church at | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
three minutes past seven, the exact time the bomb exploded over | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
Lockerbie. This is Lockerbie's darkest night. A bomb exploded on | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
pan and the flight 103, 270 people were killed, 11 of them on the | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
ground as the wreckage fell on south-west Scotland. Among the first | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
to respond was off police officer Colin Lawrence. It struck me then | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
that Lockerbie was never going to be the same. It was one of the things | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
that was going to become a national news thing. From that point onwards. | :01:31. | :01:40. | |
And, in a horrible way, the whole world was going to note about this | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
sleepy town in the south of Scotland. 35 students from New York | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
University were on the ill-fated fight, but out of grief as can | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
hopefuls of the University offers a scholarship to two scholarship | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
students each year. Collins thought was one of them. Here I was having | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
the best year of my life, such positive experience, and it'd come | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
from such heartache and tragedy. In that moment common --, I had an | :02:10. | :02:21. | |
overwhelming feeling for my dad. Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was released | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
from prison by the Scottish Government on compassionate | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
grounds. He died in May last year. His family say they want to appeal | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
his conviction. Many families who have lost loved ones say they would | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
welcome a new enquiry. There has to be justice and truth. We've never | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
had that. You can't go forward in life unless you face up to the | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
reality of something and the full reality of this is no who the | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
murderer is where. Admits the lost, there is a lasting legacy. A chance | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
for people to honour every life and remember every name. The body of a | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
British doctor who died in a Syrian prison has been handed over to the | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
International Red Cross who will take it to his family waiting in | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
neighbouring Lebanon. Dr Abbas Khan was within days of being released | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
when Syrian authorities said he committed suicide. The British | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
government has however said that he was effectively murdered. President | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
Barack Obama has hinted that there may be a review of operations at the | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
National Security Agency. It comes after a series of embarrassing | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
revelations about spying. They include the latest leaks by Edward | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
Snowden published yesterday, which said that an EU commissioner and | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
humanitarian organisations were among the targets of UK and American | :03:38. | :03:48. | |
surveillance. Katy Watson reports. Ever since he started leaking | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
intelligence documents, this man has caused a huge headache for Barack | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
Obama. The president has faced tough criticism at home and abroad. And | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
has had to defend American spying activities not always successfully. | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
President Obama addressed some concerns about the NSA at his last | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
press conference of the year. I have confidence in the fact that they are | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
not engaging in domestic surveillance or snooping around but | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
I also recognise that, as technologies change, and people can | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
start running algorithms and programmes, and map out all the | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
information we are downloading on a daily basis, and on telephones and | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
on computers, we may have to refine this further to give people more | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
confidence. He spoke on the same day more details of people and | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
institutions targeted by UK and US surveillance where published by | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
several newspapers. The list of about 1000 targets included the vice | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
president of the European Commission, some private companies, | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
and even aid organisations. President Obama needs to win back | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
the trust of its people and of the international community. But with | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
leaks that just keep coming, that job gets harder by the day. This | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
weekend is one of the busiest of the year for pubs and clubs as the | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
Christmas festivities get under way. But it also places enormous strain | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
on the emergency services. In Greater Manchester, double the usual | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
number of officers were on patrol last night in what's been dubbed | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
Black Friday. Our North of England Correspondent Ed Thomas joined them. | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
A night to remember. A night to forget. Welcome to mad Friday. This | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
is Britain on the last weekend before Christmas. Works do. It's a | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
works do. We are going out, boys. Here in Manchester, 100,000 people | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
were out on the town. Everyone just goes crazy. Everyone has a good | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
night in a good way. But with all that drink, limits are pushed. Out | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
on patrol with Greater Manchester Police, and the first reports of a | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
fight. No one knows exactly what happened, but this man said he was | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
attacked. He also told police he didn't want to make a complaint. See | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
you later. Elsewhere, it's a different story. Officers have been | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
called here by staff reporting and assault. And this man has been | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
arrested. For police, the problem is all down to alcohol. He is actually | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
crying his eyes out in there. It's proper we just a moment of madness. | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
I'm sure, sober, he might be a decent lad. He's just had too much | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
drink. What is extraordinary here tonight, is the number of police | :06:52. | :07:00. | |
officers who have come out. It seems there are as many police officers as | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
their door staff. It seems this is the way to police mad Friday. And | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
this is just the beginning. Come to Manchester! New Year's Eve is still | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
to come. That's all from | :07:17. | :07:17. |
