:00:22. > :00:28.Hello, good afternoon. Police in California have confirmed that a
:00:29. > :00:33.British-born student carried out a killing spree at a university in
:00:34. > :00:37.which six people died. Elliot Rodger stabbed his three male
:00:38. > :00:43.housemates before shooting dead two women and a man in Santa Barbara. 13
:00:44. > :00:49.people were injured. His father is a Hollywood film director. He was
:00:50. > :00:53.later found dead in his car. In this chilling video posted
:00:54. > :00:58.online, Elliot Rodger described the killing he had planned, revenge, he
:00:59. > :01:06.said, for his failure with women. It all has to come to this. Tomorrow,
:01:07. > :01:10.it is the day of retribution. The day in which I will have my revenge
:01:11. > :01:17.against humanity. Against all of you. Hours later, he was dead,
:01:18. > :01:20.crashing his car after a gun battle with Sheriff Deputy 's and
:01:21. > :01:25.apparently shooting himself in the head. He drove to this deli, CCTV
:01:26. > :01:32.capturing the panic as he started shooting. It was late in the
:01:33. > :01:37.evening, but many saw what happened. I saw the car zoom past, he was not
:01:38. > :01:43.shooting whilst I was on the balcony, but he hit a kid on the
:01:44. > :01:45.bike, the guy flew off the bike, and he drove further down to the corner
:01:46. > :01:52.of the street, where people were standing, because it is quite a big
:01:53. > :01:58.thing, standing on the streets, for parties, and he started shooting
:01:59. > :02:01.into the crowd. He was 22, the son of a British film-maker, Peter
:02:02. > :02:07.Rodger, the assistant director of the hunger games. He had taken
:02:08. > :02:13.Elliott to the Premier. The police had interviewed him after a previous
:02:14. > :02:13.Elliott to the Premier. The police YouTube post threatened violence,
:02:14. > :02:19.but he was not considered a threat. After stabbing three men, he shot
:02:20. > :02:23.free women, two of them fatally, a male student was killed in the deli,
:02:24. > :02:28.another injured by the drive-by shooting. He had guns and an edition
:02:29. > :02:39.owned legally. Why did Kristie? shooting. He had guns and an edition
:02:40. > :02:45.why did Chris Di? Because of Craven, irresponsible politicians and the
:02:46. > :02:51.NRA. They talk about gun rights, what about Chris' right to live?
:02:52. > :02:57.Thousands attended a vigil for those killed as another community in
:02:58. > :03:02.America deals with a mass killing by an angry young man with easy access
:03:03. > :03:08.to powerful weapons. We were all emotionally taken back. There was a
:03:09. > :03:16.minute or two where we were sitting in our room, what is going on? How
:03:17. > :03:19.could this happen? Senior Liberal Democrats have
:03:20. > :03:22.rejected calls for their leader Nick Clegg to stand down following the
:03:23. > :03:28.party's support local election results. Tim Farron said he had
:03:29. > :03:32.sympathy with members who had lost their seats, but urged them to get
:03:33. > :03:35.behind the leader. His comments come as the main parties wait for the
:03:36. > :03:43.results of the European elections, due this evening.
:03:44. > :03:47.Nigel Farage has shaken up the political landscape after gains in
:03:48. > :03:51.the local elections will stop he is expecting even more success
:03:52. > :03:55.tonight. While he celebrates, his opponents are struggling to deal
:03:56. > :04:02.with the UKIP effect. It is a protest party, most of the people
:04:03. > :04:06.voting for them are disillusioned voters of other parties who have
:04:07. > :04:11.moved to UKIP to send us a message, and we have got one year to show
:04:12. > :04:14.that we have got that message. The Liberal Democrat leader has never
:04:15. > :04:19.been popular with some in his party for going into government with the
:04:20. > :04:22.Tories. After the loss of hundreds of councillors, somewhat him to
:04:23. > :04:30.stand down, that senior figures are putting up a robust defence. He is a
:04:31. > :04:35.man of courage, integrity, decency, the best Prime Minister Britain has
:04:36. > :04:40.not got. In the context of a general election, this will come through. Ed
:04:41. > :04:45.Miliband's performance is under scrutiny, Labour has made progress,
:04:46. > :04:49.or unfortunate photo opportunities have left some questioning whether
:04:50. > :04:55.he is the man to lead them back to power. His allies have no doubt. The
:04:56. > :05:01.idea of easy predictions is for the birds, what we know if the facts, we
:05:02. > :05:04.are moving forward, Ed Miliband is in touch with people's concerns, and
:05:05. > :05:09.we are putting forward those policies. UKIP seems to be thriving
:05:10. > :05:13.because voters do not feel the established parties are on their
:05:14. > :05:15.side, but there is little sign this will lead to radical changes in
:05:16. > :05:22.policy. There will be a special European
:05:23. > :05:26.election results programme presented by David Dimbleby, from 8pm on the
:05:27. > :05:33.BBC News Channel, and from 11pm on BBC One.
:05:34. > :05:36.Security has been stepped up at a Jewish -- at Jewish site across
:05:37. > :05:43.Belgium following the fatal shootings of three people. A fourth
:05:44. > :05:46.victim is in a critical condition. A man detained by police shortly after
:05:47. > :05:54.the attack has been released without charge.
:05:55. > :05:59.People continue to come here outside the museum to lay flowers and the
:06:00. > :06:03.police are still trying to work out who the gunman is. Prosecutors say
:06:04. > :06:10.whoever carried out this attack probably acted alone. They are going
:06:11. > :06:14.to release CCTV footage later, and they are calling for the public to
:06:15. > :06:19.help. Flowers for the dead. The gunman who
:06:20. > :06:21.brazenly opened fire inside the Jewish and in this plush area of
:06:22. > :06:28.central Brussels remains on the run. Security has been stepped up at
:06:29. > :06:33.Jewish site across the country. It is hard to feel reassured, said this
:06:34. > :06:37.community leader. The reality is an attack could happen anywhere at any
:06:38. > :06:42.time. Three people died at the scene, two were from Israel, a
:06:43. > :06:47.couple in their 50s on holiday. A French woman was also killed and a
:06:48. > :06:51.Belgian man seriously injured. Investigators say they are working
:06:52. > :06:56.on a number of leads but say they cannot get confirm it was an
:06:57. > :07:00.anti-Semitic attack. The Jewish community in Belgium is 40,000
:07:01. > :07:04.strong, its leaders have recently reported a rise in hate crimes. In
:07:05. > :07:13.Israel, the Prime Minister spoke out. TRANSLATION: The act of murder
:07:14. > :07:16.is the result of incessant incitement against the State of
:07:17. > :07:20.Israel by elements in the middle is and Europe. But in Brussels,
:07:21. > :07:28.forensic teams continue to search for clues. Officers say no one has
:07:29. > :07:34.claimed responsible T. European leaders have been sending
:07:35. > :07:38.their condolences, David Cameron has written to the Belgian Prime
:07:39. > :07:43.Minister, condemning this attack. He wrote that Britain will work with
:07:44. > :07:49.Belgium to confront bigotry across Europe.
:07:50. > :07:51.There have been angry scenes in parts of Ukraine as voting gets
:07:52. > :07:59.under way in the presidential election. In Donetsk, pro-Russian
:08:00. > :08:02.separatists smashed ballot boxes. Staff at some stations are reported
:08:03. > :08:08.to have been threatened. Pope Francis has described the
:08:09. > :08:12.Israeli /Palestinian conflict is increasingly unacceptable and has
:08:13. > :08:16.invited President from both sides to the Vatican to pray for peace. He
:08:17. > :08:20.was speaking on the second day of his visit to the Middle East. On his
:08:21. > :08:26.way to say Mass, he made an unscheduled stop at the high
:08:27. > :08:34.concrete barrier Israel is building in and around the West Bank. What is
:08:35. > :08:39.the reaction to his visit so far? Just to let you know, the Pope is
:08:40. > :08:43.still here, he is in the Church of the Nativity just behind me, where
:08:44. > :08:49.he is able to prey on the spot where it is believed that Jesus was born.
:08:50. > :08:53.It was earlier, just before his final press, at the open-air Mass he
:08:54. > :08:58.had in the square, he made this unexpected invitation to the
:08:59. > :09:04.president. That got a warm welcome from the worshippers that were here.
:09:05. > :09:12.Vatican officials came out, calling it a creative and courageous step by
:09:13. > :09:16.the Pope. We have just heard from President Peres's office, welcoming
:09:17. > :09:21.the offer. The Pope said he was coming here to the holy land for
:09:22. > :09:26.purely religious reasons, and quickly we see he has got himself
:09:27. > :09:29.involved in the political situation, the long-standing
:09:30. > :09:34.conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. He delivered a message
:09:35. > :09:37.when he was meeting the Palestinian president at his palace in
:09:38. > :09:44.Bethlehem, talking about the need to intensify efforts for peace. This is
:09:45. > :09:48.a month after talks between Israel and the Palestinians broke down
:09:49. > :09:53.again. Now, he will make his way to Israel, then to Jerusalem, so we
:09:54. > :10:00.will see what the message is as he continues on his visit.
:10:01. > :10:11.The next news on BBC One is at 6:35pm. Goodbye for now.
:10:12. > :10:17.I wonder if you've had time in the past couple of days to keep up with
:10:18. > :10:21.the progress of the Queen's Baton Relay, which has moved from Northern
:10:22. > :10:26.Ireland and into the southern part of Wales. It arrived in atrocious
:10:27. > :10:28.weather yesterday. I am hopeful that today by Isner
