:01:52. > :01:53.Today, every Christmas market in the city was closed.
:01:54. > :01:56.Time to remember the dead - and for some, to reflect
:01:57. > :02:06.It is just amazing how a peaceful, festive, happy atmosphere
:02:07. > :02:07.just changed instantly, and
:02:08. > :02:16.you just have this scene of utter devastation.
:02:17. > :02:18.It will be a long time, Rees and Sara told us,
:02:19. > :02:21.that they will be able to forget what they saw.
:02:22. > :02:28.We weren't sure if it was red wine, or if it was blood, but we did see,
:02:29. > :02:31.I remember, people were picking up a stall, so we decided
:02:32. > :02:34.to put our food down and try to lift the stall up with them.
:02:35. > :02:36.And we realised unfortunately that people underneath

:03:21. > :03:28.The attack took place next to a bombed out church,

:03:32. > :03:33.But once again, violence and terror has torn through
:03:34. > :03:55.Our correspondent in Berlin, Robert Hall, has been

:03:58. > :03:59.for Security Policy, which advises the German government
:04:00. > :04:02.He explained the complexity of the investigation.
:04:03. > :04:05.We had no guy shouting, "Allahu Akbar," we did not have
:04:06. > :04:07.any self confirmation, we didn't have any videos,
:04:08. > :04:09.so a number of things are still completely uncertain,
:04:10. > :04:20.and that is why authorities said, yes, it is an attack, but we are not
:04:21. > :04:23.sure whether it is an IS/Muslim attack so we have to wait
:04:24. > :04:27.Does this feel to you, Karl-Heinz, like an attack that has been
:04:28. > :04:34.long in the planning, or something more spontaneous?
:04:35. > :04:36.It doesn't look long in the planning.
:04:37. > :04:38.It looks more like being spontaneous, because the pre-emptive
:04:39. > :04:41.measures we all take in all our societies -
:04:42. > :04:51.in your country and my country - are pretty good in the meantime.
:04:52. > :04:56.Which means you are trip-wiring phones, you hear things going on,
:04:57. > :04:59.you hear about something cooking up there, but since there was nothing
:05:00. > :05:01.it pretty much looks like a spontaneous act
:05:02. > :05:04.in which apparently the driver of the truck has been killed,
:05:05. > :05:07.So much more questions than answers so far.
:05:08. > :05:10.In your experience, how difficult is the job that the police now face?
:05:11. > :05:13.With no clear leads - well, there may well
:05:14. > :05:16.be a lead to follow, we don't know, but no clear
:05:17. > :05:20.Well, on the other hand we have a number of other issues -
:05:21. > :05:27.we have a car, we have certain traces.
:05:28. > :05:30.It is always difficult to do this but if you see the recent
:05:31. > :05:32.terror attacks we had, for instance in the US,
:05:33. > :05:35.usually after a day or two they were able to come up with some
:05:36. > :05:37.evidence - YouTube video screening, YouTube witnesses -
:05:38. > :05:40.I mean there were thousands of people there, so the likelihood
:05:41. > :05:48.that you will find something if they are, but it just takes time,
:05:49. > :05:51.because it was as I said not like the Nice thing
:05:52. > :05:54.where you had just the incumbent, so to speak, lying on the street -
:05:55. > :06:01.Let's bring you some dramatic sports news.
:06:02. > :06:03.Two-time Wimbledon tennis champion, Petra Kvitova, has undergone surgery
:06:04. > :06:06.to her hand after a knife attack at her home in the Czech Republic.
:06:07. > :06:08.She's been on social media since the attack, tweeting,
:06:09. > :06:12."In my attempt to defend myself, I was badly injured on my left hand.
:06:13. > :06:14.I am shaken, but fortunate to be alive."
:06:15. > :06:26.Damian Johnson is at the BBC Sport Centre.
:06:27. > :06:33.A really dramatic event. What happened? This was clearly a
:06:34. > :06:39.terrifying ordeal for the world number 11. The intruder got into her
:06:40. > :06:43.flat, as you said, close to the edge of the town, the man attacked her
:06:44. > :06:46.and she fought him off, and I understand he held a knife to her
:06:47. > :06:50.throat and it was in grabbing it with her left hand crucially that
:06:51. > :06:54.did the damage. That is her racket hand, the one she holds a tennis
:06:55. > :06:57.racket with when she is playing. Crucially, she could be out of
:06:58. > :07:02.action for some time. She has undergone surgery today and that
:07:03. > :07:06.lasted four hours, I understand. We are still waiting for further
:07:07. > :07:10.details from that. I suppose. Still too early to say at this point how
:07:11. > :07:14.able she will be to play again? At least three months is the reckoning.
:07:15. > :07:19.I understand there repaired tendons in all five digits of hand and there
:07:20. > :07:23.was also some nerve damage done. It is very serious. She will certainly
:07:24. > :07:33.miss the Australian open, the first grand slam tournament of the New
:07:34. > :07:36.Year in January 20 17. The 26-year-old is twice Wimbledon
:07:37. > :07:38.champion, 2011 and 2014. She has had a number of messages of support from
:07:39. > :07:42.fellow players on the women's circuit. Muguruza said stay strong
:07:43. > :07:47.and do well. The former world number one, my thoughts and prayers are
:07:48. > :07:51.with Petra. And Kvitova herself and said she will stay strong about
:07:52. > :07:54.this. We await more information from the surgeons performed the operation
:07:55. > :08:00.on Thursday. Thank you very much, from the BBC sports centre.

:08:51. > :08:59.I had to stop because my mind said, yes, you still can do it, but by
:09:00. > :09:04.body cries and says, helped! Stop training! You are breaking me, stop.
:09:05. > :09:36.It's not... I immediately supported her. I
:09:37. > :09:42.knew... She is stubborn, she knows what she wants, but she also knows
:09:43. > :09:48.what she doesn't want. Living hell is not the life Marieke once.
:09:49. > :09:59.-- Living hell is not the life Marieke wants.
:10:00. > :10:17.When I talk about real pain, so much pain you lose consciousness from the
:10:18. > :10:18.pain, and the tears rolling your cheeks, and nobody can do anything
:10:19. > :10:35.about it. I have prepared everything. I wrote
:10:36. > :10:53.to every person who was in my heart, and I want everybody to drink a
:10:54. > :11:01.glass of cava to me. She had a really bad disease, but thanks to
:11:02. > :11:07.that disease she was able to do things that people can only dream
:11:08. > :11:12.about, because mentally I was so strong.
:11:13. > :11:18.A new report on Flight MH370 - missing since 8th March 2014 -
:11:19. > :11:20.has concluded that search teams have probably been looking

:15:55. > :15:56.blanketed in thick smog since the weekend -
:15:57. > :15:58.and that's led the authorities there to take drastic measures
:15:59. > :16:01.Despite these measures things haven't improved
:16:02. > :16:05.The BBC's Stephen McDonell has been out on the streets of Beijing
:16:06. > :16:17.In Beijing this week people say they are living under the Dome, after
:16:18. > :16:24.days on end of heavy pollution it feels like being trapped under a
:16:25. > :16:29.giant toxic cloud. So how bad is Beijing's pollution at the moment? I
:16:30. > :16:31.have brought this device outside to try to measure it. You would
:16:32. > :16:37.normally have this little thing inside your house measuring if air
:16:38. > :16:43.pollution is coming in from the outside. I sent it to measure the
:16:44. > :16:48.particular. These are the small particles thought to be very
:16:49. > :16:51.dangerous because they get deep into your respiratory system. The World
:16:52. > :16:58.Health Organisation has a recommended annual target of ten and
:16:59. > :17:03.here, according to our little egg, right now it is over 400. How is

:17:13. > :17:20.of 30, Moscow has a reading of five, Montreal... 17. And London, 36. If I
:17:21. > :17:24.were to drive a few hundred kilometres to the north of Beijing
:17:25. > :17:30.to the neighbouring province there, I would find cities and towns which
:17:31. > :17:34.today are registering over 600. The long-term solutions are pretty
:17:35. > :17:41.clear. Have less car is, cars which do not pull it as much -- less cars
:17:42. > :17:44.and to phase out heavily polluting factories and coal-fired power
:17:45. > :17:50.stations. In the meantime in Beijing at the moment both primary and
:17:51. > :17:53.secondary schools have been closed, as have building sites. Poor
:17:54. > :17:56.visibility has led to many flights in and out of Beijing being
:17:57. > :18:01.cancelled, and even the highways have been shut down because they
:18:02. > :18:06.were thought to be too dangerous. You also see people wearing these
:18:07. > :18:13.air filter masks which you put on your face like that. I have to say
:18:14. > :18:16.it feels a bit like cabin fever at the moment. We are all watching the
:18:17. > :18:18.weather reports and waiting for the winds to come along to make this
:18:19. > :18:28.pollution somebody else's problem. Surgeons have described a new
:18:29. > :18:30.treatment for early-stage prostate The approach which uses
:18:31. > :18:34.lasers and a drug made from deep sea bacteria,
:18:35. > :18:35.can eliminate tumours, Here's our health and science
:18:36. > :18:46.reporter, Fergus Walsh. This is the technology
:18:47. > :18:48.which represents a huge leap It involves a drug derived
:18:49. > :18:58.from bacteria found in the darkness This laser optic fibre
:18:59. > :19:01.is inserted into the prostate, the light activates the drug
:19:02. > :19:03.which kills the cancer. When Gerald Capam was diagnosed
:19:04. > :19:06.with early prostate cancer, he was worried it might develop
:19:07. > :19:08.and he'd need surgery or radiotherapy, which can cause
:19:09. > :19:10.incontinence or impotence. Instead, he became one of the first
:19:11. > :19:12.successfully treated with the new light therapy and had
:19:13. > :19:23.no long-term side effects. Well, I feel incredibly lucky that
:19:24. > :19:26.I was accepted for the trial. I can look forward to
:19:27. > :19:29.the remaining years of my life, One in eight men will be diagnosed
:19:30. > :19:33.with prostate cancer, so this highly effective
:19:34. > :19:34.new treatment, known as photodynamic therapy,
:19:35. > :19:38.could be hugely significant. The light-sensitive drug is injected
:19:39. > :19:40.into the bloodstream. It's derived from deep sea bacteria,
:19:41. > :19:43.which are efficient Through a thin tube, a laser light
:19:44. > :20:05.is inserted into the prostate, the light activates the drug
:20:06. > :20:08.which destroys the cancer cells. The journal, Lancet Oncology,
:20:09. > :20:10.reports that half the patients given photodynamic therapy were completely
:20:11. > :20:12.clear of cancer two years later, compared to about one in seven
:20:13. > :20:15.of those given standard care. Crucially, it did not
:20:16. > :20:17.cause major side effects. The harms with traditional
:20:18. > :20:19.treatments have always been the side effects,
:20:20. > :20:24.oar urinary incontinence. In other words, leaking
:20:25. > :20:26.urine and requiring pads. Sexual difficulties,
:20:27. > :20:28.which occurs in the majority To have a new treatment
:20:29. > :20:31.now that we can administer to men who are eligible,
:20:32. > :20:34.that is virtually free of those side effects,
:20:35. > :20:39.is truly transformative. The treatment is likely to cost
:20:40. > :20:41.around ?20,000 a patient and is expected to be approved
:20:42. > :20:44.in Europe following these Its use is also being
:20:45. > :21:01.trialled in other cancers. So it won't be cheep,
:21:02. > :21:03.but for prostate patients, photodynamic therapy represents
:21:04. > :21:09.a powerful new weapon There is more and that fascinating

:21:20. > :21:22.The humble spirit gin is having a renaissance, globally and in the UK
:21:23. > :21:32.alone. They have sold the equivalent of 1.1 billion gin and tonics here.
:21:33. > :21:37.South Africa, a country associated with winemaking, has seen an
:21:38. > :21:38.explosion of gins using South African plans. Our correspondent
:21:39. > :21:43.reports... -- explosion of gins
:21:44. > :21:54.using South African plants. South Africa's botanical kingdom is
:21:55. > :21:58.unique to the southern Cape. A rich variety of flowers, herbs and
:21:59. > :22:06.spices. This has become the key ingredient in making South African
:22:07. > :22:13.gin. In the past few years alone a dozen craft gin distilleries have
:22:14. > :22:16.emerged. Lorna Scott started her own gin label having fallen in love with
:22:17. > :22:24.the indigenous plants surrounding her home. Under the nose, you get
:22:25. > :22:30.that sharp note coming through. When we started I was producing perhaps
:22:31. > :22:33.100, or 150, bottles a month, and it became a mission for us to keep up
:22:34. > :22:41.with demand. Quickly I realised we had something that had commercial
:22:42. > :22:44.potential. We were literally doubling our production every six
:22:45. > :22:50.months and it keeps growing. Solely limitation we have at the moment is
:22:51. > :22:58.with the label smaller craft distilleries are also
:22:59. > :23:01.making inroadss in the country's flourishing gin market. I think in
:23:02. > :23:05.the last year gin has just taken off. This is our third micro
:23:06. > :23:12.distillery here on the Western Cape. Since then, there must be another
:23:13. > :23:15.ten, or 1500 trick-mac distilleries which started up. This is
:23:16. > :23:22.incredible. I did not know there were so many gins and South Africa.
