0:00:06 > 0:00:10Good Evening.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Security forces in Tunisia say they've arrested three members
0:00:12 > 0:00:15of a terrorist cell linked to Anis Amri, the Tunisian
0:00:15 > 0:00:18who killed 12 people by driving a lorry into a Christmas market
0:00:18 > 0:00:19in Berlin this week.
0:00:19 > 0:00:24The interior ministry said one of those detained was Amri's nephew.
0:00:24 > 0:00:2724 year old Anis Amri was shot dead by police in Milan in the early
0:00:27 > 0:00:28hours of yesterday morning.
0:00:28 > 0:00:33Bethany Bell reports.
0:00:33 > 0:00:39This is Anis Amri, the man who's suspected of being behind the attack
0:00:39 > 0:00:42on a Berlin Christmas market in the name of so-called Islamic State.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44And now authorities across Europe and
0:00:44 > 0:00:53the Middle East are trying to piece together his extremist connections.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55The 24-year-old Tunisian made this video shortly before driving a lorry
0:00:55 > 0:00:58along a crowded street, killing 12 people.
0:00:58 > 0:01:04Now a clearer picture of his network is emerging.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Officials in Tunis say he was connected to a
0:01:07 > 0:01:10militant cell, which included his sister's son.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Amri is thought to have sent his nephew money to help
0:01:13 > 0:01:14him come to Germany.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16The nephew's now in custody in Tunisia.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21Two others have also been arrested.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23The Spanish authorities are investigating whether Amri may have
0:01:23 > 0:01:29had links to an extremist in Spain.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32In Tunis today, hundreds of people took to the streets to demonstrate
0:01:32 > 0:01:35against extremism.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37They gathered outside the Bardo Museum, which was
0:01:37 > 0:01:43attacked by militants last year.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45TRANSLATION: The terrorists damage the image of Tunisia in the
0:01:45 > 0:01:50world, and have harmed the expats who are living abroad.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53TRANSLATION: Our message is from the heart, it is a
0:01:53 > 0:01:55panic wave, and you need to understand, Tunisians are afraid,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57but we will not stay silent.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02We're standing by our country.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04In recent years about 5500 Tunisians have
0:02:04 > 0:02:07joined jihadist groups, making the country one
0:02:07 > 0:02:10of the largest exporters of militants in the region.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13This was how Anis Amri met his end.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Shot dead in an exchange of fire with the
0:02:16 > 0:02:19police in the Italian city of Milan.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20One police officer was injured.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25He is now recovering in hospital.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28What began as an horrific attack here in Germany has become an
0:02:28 > 0:02:32investigation that spans Europe and beyond.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34German officials want to know if Amri had supporters -
0:02:34 > 0:02:41people who may have helped him plan the attack, and his escape.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43As this city shuts down for Christmas, the
0:02:43 > 0:02:44authorities are still working.
0:02:44 > 0:02:50Bethany Bell, BBC News, Berlin.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52The Status Quo guitarist Rick Parfitt has died suddenly
0:02:52 > 0:02:55in hospital in Spain at the age of 68.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58In a statement, his family said he'd died as a result
0:02:58 > 0:03:00of a severe infection, after being treated
0:03:00 > 0:03:03for complications following a shoulder injury.
0:03:03 > 0:03:09David Sillito looks back at his life.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I've got to where I wanted to go.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18You know, to become a pop star or a rock star.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21To quote fans, he was easy to spot.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24He was the bobbing blonde head, and he was responsible for some
0:03:24 > 0:03:26of rock's greatest riffs.
0:03:29 > 0:03:321972's Piledriver was the beginning of a run of 40 hit albums.
0:03:32 > 0:03:3757 top 40 singles.
0:03:37 > 0:03:43No other rock band comes close, and it all began at Butlins.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Rick Parfitt met Francis Rossi when they were teenagers.
0:03:47 > 0:03:54Their first single was a bit of 60s psychedelia.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56But their passion was something a bit more raw,
0:03:56 > 0:04:01a hit-making rock formula.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04All our records do sound alike, of course they do,
0:04:04 > 0:04:09because it is Status Quo.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I'm not trying to get out of a corner here.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13They're gonna sound like us.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14Who are we supposed to sound like?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Who would you get to open this thing?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20As soon as I had the idea, I couldn't think of anyone better.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24# Here we are and here we are and here we go
0:04:24 > 0:04:27# We're on a roll and we're hitting the road
0:04:27 > 0:04:30And when it came to sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll,
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Rick Parfitt did it all.
0:04:31 > 0:04:37This riff arose, the consequence of a huge dose of amphetamines.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45We came back about 11:30am the following morning,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Rick was on the stool.
0:04:47 > 0:04:47We said, you're early.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50He said, I haven't been home yet.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52He had sat there nearly 12 hours doing it.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53From too much speed the previous day.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55He married three times.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Of course he has a particular type of woman.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02Blondes.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06It was the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, but when it came to turning
0:05:06 > 0:05:13rock into hit songs, he was one of the best.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Rick Parfitt who has died suddenly in hospital
0:05:14 > 0:05:18in Spain at the age of 68.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23has said the country is to reassess its relationship
0:05:23 > 0:05:26with the United Nations.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28He made the announcement a day after the UN's Security Council
0:05:28 > 0:05:30adopted a resolution - which demands a halt
0:05:30 > 0:05:34to Israeli settlement building on occupied Palestinian land.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Mr Netanyahu called the resolution "shameful" -
0:05:36 > 0:05:37but it's been welcomed by the Palestinian
0:05:37 > 0:05:41militant movement Hamas.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44America's President-elect Donald Trump says he intends
0:05:44 > 0:05:48to dissolve his controversial charitable foundation,
0:05:48 > 0:05:51in order to avoid any conflict of interest when he's inaugurated

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Mr Trump said that the Donald J Trump Foundation
0:05:58 > 0:06:01had contributed millions of dollars to worthy causes, but that he would
0:06:01 > 0:06:05continue to pursue his interest in philanthropy in other ways.
