Good afternoon. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:21 | |
Afghan special forces have
ended a siege in a luxury | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
hotel in the capital,
Kabul, 12 hours after | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
it was stormed by gunmen. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:29 | |
Six civilians - five Afghans
and one foreign woman - | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
were killed,
along with all the militants. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
More than 150 people
were rescued from the hotel | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
by the security forces. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
The Taliban says it
carried out the attack. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
Our correspondent, Zia Shahreyar,
reports from Kabul. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:50 | |
The final moments of a fight that
had lasted all night. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:57 | |
Gunfire and explosions,
as Afghan special forces | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
battled to regain control
of the Intercontinental Hotel. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
One soldier throws a grenade. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
He moves away. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:06 | |
Then the explosion. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
The room is soon on fire -
evidence of the struggle | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
that had taken place. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
The Afghan national flag
waving from the roof - | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
proof that the building
has been retaken. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
More than 150 people,
including some foreigners, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
were inside yesterday evening,
when gunmen burst | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
in and opened fire. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
There were old people and children
inside the hotel's rooms, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
and the attackers were knocking
on the door of each room, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
trying to reach their targets. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
They killed ordinary
people and officials. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
They were also targeting foreigners. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:52 | |
These images, filmed by local TV,
show people escaping by climbing | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
down bed sheets that they'd
tied to balconies. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
This telecoms engineer fell
from the sixth floor | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
as he tried to get away. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:08 | |
TRANSLATION: When the sixth floor
caught fire this morning, | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
my roommate told me,
"Either escape or burn." | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
I got a bed sheet and tied
it on to the balcony. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:19 | |
I tried to come down,
but I was heavy and my arms | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
were not strong enough. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:23 | |
I fell, and injured
my shoulder and leg. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:29 | |
The Afghan security forces were
deployed to the area, and place | 0:02:35 | 0:02:40 | |
themselves on different -- the
gunmen place themselves on different | 0:02:40 | 0:02:48 | |
floors of the hotel and opened fire
on the guests. Six people, including | 0:02:48 | 0:02:54 | |
one foreign citizen, were killed in
this attack. Now the Interior | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
Ministry assessment team is inside
the hotel, trying to find out and | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
clear all the different floors of
the hotel. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
The hotel is one of Kabul's
best-known landmarks. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
It has high levels of security
because it's used by politicians | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
and foreign visitors. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:13 | |
It was last attacked
by the Taliban seven years ago. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
This sustained and complex assault
will prompt urgent questions | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
as to how the gunmen got through. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
Tens of thousands of people have
taken to the streets in cities | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
across America for the second
Women's March, with many | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
protesting against President
Trump's presidency. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
The main march will be held
in Las Vegas later on today. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
A rally is also taking place
in London, as Simon Jones reports. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:40 | |
What time is it? "Time's up".
Hundreds gathered outside Downing | 0:03:44 | 0:03:51 | |
Street determined to make their
voices heard. The message, time's up | 0:03:51 | 0:03:56 | |
for the sexual harassment and abuse
of women. It's time to speak out | 0:03:56 | 0:04:03 | |
against violence against all women
across the world. We are still | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
getting paid way more than women,
and it's completely unfair. Today's | 0:04:07 | 0:04:12 | |
noisy events are taking place a year
to the day that tens of thousands of | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
women took to the streets to protest
against President Trump's first day | 0:04:16 | 0:04:21 | |
in office. A lot here say a lot has
changed over the past 12 months, but | 0:04:21 | 0:04:27 | |
there's still a lot to do. The Trump
presidency is very much the focus of | 0:04:27 | 0:04:34 | |
marches that have already been held
in the US. Many repeated the | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
slogan," build bridges, not wars".
I'm glad that the momentum has been | 0:04:38 | 0:04:47 | |
kept up and women's voices are being
heard. I want to resist the racism | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
that is happening in our country,
especially with the | 0:04:51 | 0:04:56 | |
commander-in-chief. Although the
crowds in London are predominately | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
women, the organisers say men are
also welcome. They say they are not | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
setting out to demonise the entire
male population, but are looking for | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
everyone to play their part in
bringing about change. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
The Ukip leader, Henry Bolton, has
insisted he will not quit his job. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
Mr Bolton says it's not right
for the party's ruling body | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
to judge him on his personal life. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
He's expected to face a vote of
no confidence at an emergency | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
meeting later today,
after offensive texts, | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
sent by his former girlfriend,
emerged last week. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:30 | |
A man has been arrested
after an eight-year-old girl | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
was stabbbed to death
in the West Midlands. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
Police say they're treating it
as a domestic incident, | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
and aren't looking for anyone else. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
Liz Copper is in Walsall
for us this lunchtime. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:47 | |
What are the police saying, Liz?
Police say they were called to this | 0:05:47 | 0:05:54 | |
bungalow around 9:15pm yesterday.
When they arrived they found that | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
eight-year-old girl with serious
injuries. She was taken to hospital, | 0:05:59 | 0:06:04 | |
unfortunately nothing could be done
to save her life and she died a | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
short time later. A 54-year-old man
was also taken to hospital. He has a | 0:06:08 | 0:06:15 | |
stab injury to his stomach. His
condition is described as stable. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
Police say they will be questioning
him in due course. West Midlands | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
Police have said they are treating
this | 0:06:24 | 0:06:32 | |
as a domestic incident, and as such
they are not looking for anyone else | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
in connection with the little girl's
death. Lives, thank you. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
Two climbers have been airlifted
to safety in the highlands | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
after becoming stuck on a ridge. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:48 | |
The pair were winched
to safety from 3,000 feet up | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
the mountain in Glencoe. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:52 | |
They'd first raised
the alarm on Friday, | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
but the poor weather meant
they couldn't be rescued | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
until yesterday morning. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:57 | |
People with hidden disabilities
in England could soon be entitled | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
to blue badge parking permits
under government plans. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
The Department for Transport said
the change would make it easier | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
for those with conditions such
as autism to access | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
services they need. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
Helena Lee has the story. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
The Blue Badge scheme was first
introduced in England in the 1970s. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:14 | |
Today, around 2.4 million people
with disabilities have one. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:20 | |
It allows them to park
free of charge on roads, | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
and normally without a time limit. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
The Government is now proposing
to extend the scheme. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
It wants people with hidden
disabilities and conditions | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
like autism and dementia
to be able to qualify for | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
a blue badge, so they too can
enjoy the freedom to get out | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
where and when they want. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
For many parents, they tell us that
sometimes they don't want to go out. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
They don't want to take
their autistic son or daughter | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
out to the shops, out to schools
and services and other places, | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
because they are worried
about what might happen. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
But if they can park much closer
to their destination, | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
then they can easily take someone
away if there is an issue | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
or if there are difficulties
when they are out and about. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
The Department for Transport says
only some councils recognise hidden | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
disabilities under the current
scheme, because they interpret | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
the existing rules differently. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
The proposals would be the biggest
change to the scheme | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
since it was first introduced. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
The plans will now go
through an eight-week | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
public consultation. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |

Tennis, and Kyle Edmund
has reached his first | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
Grand Slam quarter final. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
The British number two beat
the Italian, Andreas Seppi, | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
in four sets at the Australian Open
in Melbourne. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
Nick Parrott reports. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
Kyle Edmund could barely stand
after his last match in Melbourne. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
Now he's reached greater
heights than ever before. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
The mercury was at a merciful 26
degrees, but early on, | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
it looked like Andreas Seppi
could prove too hot to handle. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
27 places separate them
in the world rankings. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
On court, it was much closer,
with the Italian taking | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
the first set on a tie-break. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
At 33, Seppi has a decade's
experience on Edmund, and, | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
at times, it showed. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
The Briton was broken first,
but a change of footwear led | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
to a change in fortunes,
as he went on to level the match. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:20 | |
Winning five games in a row saw
Edmund grow in confidence | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
and Seppi's stubborn
resistance drain away. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
It took almost three hours
to set up the biggest | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
match of his career,
but Edmund isn't | 0:09:31 | 0:09:32 | |
getting carried away. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
You know, I have to believe
I'm going to win, and believe | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
in my game and stuff,
so that's the way I approached it, | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
one match at a time,
and I'll continue to do that. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
Whatever happens next,
Edmund will climb the rankings | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
and give hope that Britain has found
a successor to Andy Murray. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
