One person has been arrested after a gun attack at the Jewish museum in

:00:00.:00:10.

Brussels, in which three people died. Belgium has now raised its

:00:11.:00:13.

terror alert level and increased protection at Jewish buildings and

:00:14.:00:18.

the Israeli Embassy. The search for four Britons missing

:00:19.:00:21.

in the North Atlantic has been called off, after a life raft was

:00:22.:00:27.

found onboard their capsized yacht. Police are investigating whether a

:00:28.:00:29.

suspected gunman in California who killed six people wanted revenge

:00:30.:00:36.

after repeated rejections by women. And, it's a victorious end to an

:00:37.:00:39.

illustrious career, as Jonny Wilkinson in his final match on

:00:40.:00:42.

British soil, helps Toulon beat Saracens in the Heineken Cup final.

:00:43.:01:02.

Good evening. Three people have been killed and one seriously injured in

:01:03.:01:09.

a shooting at the Jewish Museum in Brussels. Belgium's Prime Minister

:01:10.:01:13.

has expressed his condolences, while the Foreign Minister was one of the

:01:14.:01:17.

first people to arrive at the scene after hearing what he called bursts

:01:18.:01:22.

of gunfire. The motive for the attack is unclear, though the Mayor

:01:23.:01:25.

of Brussels says the shooting is being considered an act of

:01:26.:01:29.

terrorism. One person has been arrested. The museum is in the

:01:30.:01:36.

central Sablon district of the city, not far from the main square. Our

:01:37.:01:40.

correspondent Duncan Crawford is at the scene.

:01:41.:01:46.

The whole area around the museum remains cordoned off tonight. The

:01:47.:01:50.

Government has raised the terror level to its highest and many are in

:01:51.:01:55.

shock. The police have arrested one suspect but they're searching for a

:01:56.:01:58.

second who is on the run and could very well be the gunman.

:01:59.:02:05.

The brutality of the attack has shocked the authorities. It was just

:02:06.:02:11.

before 4.00pm local time in the upmarket Sablon area when a car

:02:12.:02:15.

pulled up outside the Jewish Museum. It's understood an armed man got

:02:16.:02:19.

out, entered the museum and opened fire. I went to the museum to see

:02:20.:02:24.

the situation and I have seen two people on the ground in the entrance

:02:25.:02:31.

of the museum and I phoned to see if it's possible to receive medical

:02:32.:02:35.

care and the police. Police say the victims were hit in the head and

:02:36.:02:37.

neck. Two women and a man were killed. A fourth person is critical

:02:38.:02:42.

in hospital. The gunman fled the museum, possibly on foot or with the

:02:43.:02:47.

help of a getaway driver. This was a brazen attack in broad daylight in

:02:48.:02:57.

one of the fancy fanciest areas of Brussels. The museum remains

:02:58.:03:00.

cordoned off by police who say they don't have a motive at this stage

:03:01.:03:05.

but clearly they're concerned this was some kind of anti-Semitic

:03:06.:03:09.

attack. Tonight police say a person seen driving away from the scene has

:03:10.:03:13.

been arrested but officers haven't established whether they're involved

:03:14.:03:16.

in the shooting or not. The local mayor says the incident could be an

:03:17.:03:22.

act of terrorism. The Prime Minister said the Government was shocked.

:03:23.:03:30.

TRANSLATION: We strongly condemn these serious acts of violence. We

:03:31.:03:39.

extend our deepest sympathies to the victims and to their families. The

:03:40.:03:45.

attack comes a day before national and European elections are held in

:03:46.:03:49.

Belgium. Security has been tightened at Jewish sites across the country

:03:50.:03:55.

and police are scouring CCTV footage at the museum in the hope of finding

:03:56.:03:59.

vital clues which might identify the killer.

:04:00.:04:08.

Hopes of finding the four British sailors missing in the North

:04:09.:04:11.

Atlantic have all but gone after a life raft was found on board their

:04:12.:04:14.

capsized vessel. The search for the men has now been called off, a week

:04:15.:04:18.

after contact with their yacht the Cheeky Rafiki was lost. David

:04:19.:04:21.

Cameron says his thoughts are with the families and friends of the

:04:22.:04:25.

crew. Here's Duncan Kennedy. These are the coastguard photos that

:04:26.:04:29.

ended all hope of finding the four men alive. This one shows the keel

:04:30.:04:35.

sheared off, making stability all but impossible. The boat's liferaft

:04:36.:04:41.

was still inside, ending any chance of survival. The search for Andrew

:04:42.:04:47.

Bridge, James Male, Paul Goslin and Steve Warren had lasted on and off

:04:48.:04:52.

for a week. The Cheeki Rafiki had been returning from Antigue. In a

:04:53.:04:57.

statement Andrew bridge's family said: We are obviously shocked and

:04:58.:05:01.

deeply saddened by the news. Andrew will be dearly missed by

:05:02.:05:05.

everyone who knew him. Tonight, this video of him doing what he loved

:05:06.:05:09.

most was released. He is in the middle with his lifelong friend Adam

:05:10.:05:16.

in front. I feel like I have lost a part of my life almost. He has been

:05:17.:05:21.

an amazing friend to me for years and years. Very, very sad to see

:05:22.:05:27.

that he's gone. In Somerset, home to Paul Goslin and Steve Warren, local

:05:28.:05:31.

communities have been united in their sadness. Now we simply want to

:05:32.:05:37.

offer our thoughts and prayers for the families of the lost yachtsmen

:05:38.:05:40.

as they begin to come to terms with the news that they've heard today.

:05:41.:05:43.

This is where it all went wrong... It's not clear if the boat can be

:05:44.:05:47.

salvaged but experts already believe the keel damage is vital. The keel

:05:48.:05:55.

would have failed, would have dropped off and the boat would have

:05:56.:05:59.

capsized within seconds. There would have been no time to respond to

:06:00.:06:03.

that. The four men should have returned here this weekend. But a

:06:04.:06:07.

voyage of triumph has turned into a journey of sadness. The combined

:06:08.:06:12.

efforts of the US coastguard, a quarter of a million people online,

:06:13.:06:16.

and the men's families couldn't bring about the result they had all

:06:17.:06:19.

hoped for. What had been an adventure has been

:06:20.:06:23.

consumed by the unforgiving realities of the high seas.

:06:24.:06:32.

Russia's President, Vladimir Putin, has described Prince's Charles'

:06:33.:06:34.

reported comparison of him with Adolf Hitler, as unacceptable and

:06:35.:06:40.

not Royal behaviour. The Prince is alleged to have made the remark in a

:06:41.:06:44.

private conversation during a visit to Canada. Clarence House has

:06:45.:06:48.

declined to comment on Mr Putin's response. The Russian leader was

:06:49.:06:52.

speaking during a press conference in St Petersburg.

:06:53.:06:56.

TRANSLATION: He has been to our country many times. I didn't hear

:06:57.:07:01.

that expression. If it's so, it is of course unacceptable. I think that

:07:02.:07:05.

he understands that himself. He is a well brought up person. I have met

:07:06.:07:09.

him and other members of the Royal Family. It's not Royal behaviour.

:07:10.:07:17.

The son of a Hollywood film director has been identified as the likely

:07:18.:07:21.

gunman who killed six people in a series of drive-by shootings in the

:07:22.:07:24.

US city of Santa Barbara. A lawyer for Peter Rodger said his son Elliot

:07:25.:07:28.

was responsible for last night's murders. Earlier, the 22-year-old

:07:29.:07:33.

had posted a video online complaining of years of rejection by

:07:34.:07:36.

women and threatening to take revenge. Alastair Leithead reports

:07:37.:07:39.

from Los Angeles. The aftermath of a mass shooting at

:07:40.:07:43.

a beachside college town in Santa Barbara. It was a drive-by attack,

:07:44.:07:48.

six people killed, seven others injured. This was the killer's car.

:07:49.:07:53.

He crashed after exchanging fire with armed police and was shot in

:07:54.:07:59.

the head. Elliot Rodger was 22. He is pictured here posing on Facebook

:08:00.:08:05.

with the same BMW. Hours before the attack he posted a chilling video on

:08:06.:08:11.

YouTube. Tomorrow is the day of retribution. The day in which I will

:08:12.:08:17.

have my revenge. A lack of success with women was apparently his

:08:18.:08:21.

motive. He wanted retribution as he put it. I will take to the streets

:08:22.:08:27.

of Isla Vista and slay every single person I see there. The killer's

:08:28.:08:31.

father is a British film-maker, Peter Rodger, shown here with his

:08:32.:08:36.

wife who is an actress and Elliot at a prep year of the first Hunger

:08:37.:08:43.

Games film. The family's lawyer said Elliot had a history of mental

:08:44.:08:46.

illness and the police had been warned. He had multiple therapists.

:08:47.:08:54.

He had a social work worker who as recently as last week was concerned.

:08:55.:08:58.

He was the one that called the police. The attack happened at 9.

:08:59.:09:03.

30pm on a busy Friday evening close to the University of California

:09:04.:09:07.

Santa Barbara campus. It sparked panic. I just thought it was like -

:09:08.:09:15.

I was like hey, and I turned around and started walking the other way.

:09:16.:09:22.

Shootings in America are alarmingly frequent. Often they involve

:09:23.:09:26.

disillusioned or mentally ill young men in a country where there is easy

:09:27.:09:35.

access to guns. George Osborne has told

:09:36.:09:37.

Conservatives not to dismiss or belittle UKIP supporters, after the

:09:38.:09:40.

party's success in the local elections. The Chancellor promised

:09:41.:09:43.

to respond to what he called their legitimate concerns about

:09:44.:09:45.

immigration and Europe. But tonight a new poll suggested the Tories were

:09:46.:09:48.

falling behind Labour in key marginal seats. Here's our deputy

:09:49.:09:54.

political editor James Landale. For team UKIP there was much to

:09:55.:09:57.

smile about in the local elections but for the larger parties it meant

:09:58.:10:01.

one thing, a political headache that's not getting any better. Today

:10:02.:10:07.

some Tories gathered in London to rue their losses and chart a way

:10:08.:10:12.

forward. For all these Conservatives there is really only one question -

:10:13.:10:17.

how do they regain trust of people who voted UKIP? Right now they're

:10:18.:10:22.

scratching around for answers. One man who thinks he has an answer is

:10:23.:10:26.

the Chancellor. He said there would be no pact with UKIP but nor would

:10:27.:10:30.

there be any more abuse at people who he claimed shared Tory values.

:10:31.:10:36.

The modern Conservative Party will never dismiss or belittle the views

:10:37.:10:40.

of people we aspire to represent. We should show the highest respect for

:10:41.:10:45.

those who go out and cast their vote and respect too for those who cast

:10:46.:10:49.

their vote for another party. And that includes those who voted for

:10:50.:10:55.

UKIP on Thursday. As if to show the scale of the Tory challenge, a new

:10:56.:11:00.

opinion poll of thousands of voters suggested the Conservatives are 12

:11:01.:11:04.

points behind Labour in key marginal constituencies. The Tory peer who

:11:05.:11:07.

carried out the poll said it showed his party needed a new approach to

:11:08.:11:12.

UKIP. Any complacency or arrogance on the part of the established

:11:13.:11:16.

parties is not one they should practise and to an extent it's

:11:17.:11:19.

complacency and arrogance in how they've dealt with UKIP that's got

:11:20.:11:23.

them in the position they are at the moment. Labour's been cheered by its

:11:24.:11:28.

gains at the ballot box and today's new poll. But some MPs think the

:11:29.:11:32.

party should do more to tackle UKIP after it cost them votes on

:11:33.:11:38.

Thursday. One frontbencher said Ed Miliband was not to blame. We

:11:39.:11:41.

believe our leader is more than a pretty face. Our lead leader - it

:11:42.:11:46.

was him that decided to take on the big six energy companies and the

:11:47.:11:51.

banks. And it is here in Essex where Nigel Farage held his victory parade

:11:52.:11:56.

that MrMiliband will come next week to try to show he and his party are

:11:57.:11:59.

listening to former Labour voters who have turned to UKIP.

:12:00.:12:07.

Meanwhile, following disappointing results for the Liberal Democrats in

:12:08.:12:10.

the local elections two of the party's prospective parliamentary

:12:11.:12:12.

candidates have called for Nick Clegg to stand down as leader. The

:12:13.:12:16.

BBC has learned that Jackie Porter, the candidate in Winchester and Ros

:12:17.:12:19.

Kayes, the candidate in West Dorset, both think the party should pick a

:12:20.:12:24.

new leader this summer. Party spokesman said the message should

:12:25.:12:28.

not be distorted by needless in-fighting. Now all the sport.

:12:29.:12:39.

Thank you very much. Jonny Wilkinson's final game in

:12:40.:12:42.

Britain before retiring from Rugby Union has ended with him lifting the

:12:43.:12:46.

Heineken Cup. The England World Cup winner inspired French side Toulon

:12:47.:12:49.

to a 23-6 victory over Saracens at the Millenium stadium. Joe Wilson

:12:50.:12:52.

reports from Cardiff. Travellers from Toulon were not dancing for

:12:53.:12:56.

rain. This was an expression of appreciation, even before kick-off

:12:57.:13:01.

they were saying merci to Jonny Wilkinson, the conductor of their

:13:02.:13:05.

orchestra. Roof closed inside but keep your eyes open, where is your

:13:06.:13:10.

opponent? For half an hour they ran into each other. Often on the

:13:11.:13:13.

fringes of the rules. Keeping a cool head required exceptional calm.

:13:14.:13:18.

Watch as Jonny Wilkinson switched play with this pass. It was kicked

:13:19.:13:30.

to space. In an instant sash Ahsan -- Saracens were undone. Here is a

:13:31.:13:33.

routine you might have seen before. Jonny Wilkinson switching to his

:13:34.:13:40.

weak right foot. Drop goal. 10-3. The second try was made by the

:13:41.:13:52.

French. Even from there you wouldn't expect Wilkinson to miss the

:13:53.:13:56.

conversion, would you? 23-6 at full-time. I do a job that is my

:13:57.:14:00.

passion, my love and I am paid well to do it. Who could be luckier than

:14:01.:14:07.

me and guys go out of the way to cheer for you, it's humbling. Toulon

:14:08.:14:12.

still have the French championship to try to win next weekend. On the

:14:13.:14:22.

brink of retirement he remains rugby's version of perfection.

:14:23.:14:30.

Queens Park Rangers are back in the Premier League after beating Derby

:14:31.:14:33.

County 1-0 in the Championship play-off final. The most lucrative

:14:34.:14:36.

game in world football was settled by Bobby Zamora, who scored the

:14:37.:14:39.

winner in the 90th minute. Tim Hague reports. Harry Redknapp versus Steve

:14:40.:14:43.

McLaren, Premier League football the prize, and not a brolly in sight.

:14:44.:14:48.

Who could forget McLaren's last match at Wembley as England manager.

:14:49.:14:52.

Now leading Derby and his side had the better opening of a nervy first

:14:53.:14:57.

45. The second half brought a change in weather and in QPR's attacking

:14:58.:15:02.

threat as Charlie Austin should have scored. But then a game in the

:15:03.:15:07.

balance quickly became lop-sided. O'Neill's cynical foul saw him

:15:08.:15:13.

red-carded. And it meant a Rangers rear-guard action for the final 30

:15:14.:15:16.

minutes. Green saving them several times. It was beginning to feel like

:15:17.:15:22.

it wasn't to be Derby's day. So it cruelly proved in the 90th minute. A

:15:23.:15:26.

rare QPR attack, a mistake in defence, and Bobby Zamora brought

:15:27.:15:33.

joy and despair in the swing of his boot. Harry Houdini does it again

:15:34.:15:38.

then. QPR return to the Premier League and are ?80 million better

:15:39.:15:49.

off. And there's been plenty of drama in

:15:50.:15:51.

tonight's Champions League final between Real Madrid and city rivals

:15:52.:15:57.

Atletico Madrid. Real sent the match into extra time and Gareth Bale

:15:58.:16:01.

fired his side into the lead. They went on to win four-win and lift the

:16:02.:16:05.

Cup for a 10th time. Quite a match. That's all the sport.

:16:06.:16:10.

That's it from us. You can see more on all of today's stories on the BBC

:16:11.:16:12.

news channel. Have a good night. Today wasn't a complete washout

:16:13.:16:29.

across the country but there were plenty of showers and the Heavens

:16:30.:16:33.

did open for some of us, particularly in the morning across

:16:34.:16:36.

the south of the UK. As far as the rest of the bank holiday weekend is

:16:37.:16:40.

concerned, lots of showers, sunshine too and where the sun pops out it's

:16:41.:16:45.

going to feel warm. After all, June's around the corner. This is

:16:46.:16:48.

the cloud which brought lots

:16:49.:16:49.
