:00:07. > :00:08.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

:00:09. > :00:13.He's the chief suspect in the Berlin truck attack, he's on the run -

:00:14. > :00:18.and he was already being monitored by police.

:00:19. > :00:22.There's been another delay in the evacuation of eastern Aleppo.

:00:23. > :00:27.President Obama has banned all future oil drilling in most US

:00:28. > :00:28.waters in the arctic and north Atlantic.

:00:29. > :00:32.We'll explain why - and how the industry is already

:00:33. > :00:45.working to persuade Donald Trump to reverse the decision.

:00:46. > :00:47.This is what happened at Mexico's largest fireworks market.

:00:48. > :00:53.I've the BBC's latest report on that.

:00:54. > :00:59.We have stories from all over the world. If you have questions about

:01:00. > :01:03.them, I'm live in the BBC newsroom surrounded by people who can give

:01:04. > :01:16.you the answers. You can contact us online. Or by e-mail.

:01:17. > :01:22.A manhunt across Europe is searching for this man.

:01:23. > :01:25.Anis Amri has been named as the chief suspect in the Berlin

:01:26. > :01:34.And now German authorities are offering up to 100,000 Euros

:01:35. > :01:41.in return for information about him and his whereabouts.

:01:42. > :01:45.In the last few hours we've heard he had been under German

:01:46. > :01:49.surveillance earlier this year on suspicion of seeking to buy guns.

:01:50. > :01:59.Here's the state's interior minister earlier.

:02:00. > :02:05.TRANSLATION: The security agency's exchange information about this

:02:06. > :02:09.person with the joint counterterrorism centre. The last

:02:10. > :02:12.time they did this was in November 2000 16. The North Rhine-Westphalia

:02:13. > :02:18.state offers for common investigations initiated

:02:19. > :02:23.proceedings, under suspicion for a criminal offence endangering

:02:24. > :02:28.national security was annoyed -- 2016.

:02:29. > :02:30.We're also told that German authorities had rejected

:02:31. > :02:33.Tunisian security sources have told BBC Arabic that

:02:34. > :02:35."He was known in his hometown for his "radical tendencies".

:02:36. > :02:37.He illegally emigrated to Europe in 2011."

:02:38. > :02:39.We know his temporary residence permit was found

:02:40. > :03:01.And that permit was issued in the Emmerich area

:03:02. > :03:02.of North Rhine-Westphalia in western Germany.

:03:03. > :03:04.150 police officers are now involved in searches there.

:03:05. > :03:06.That's happening now - but we're also learning

:03:07. > :03:08.about the period leading up to the attack.

:03:09. > :03:19.The truck, carrying 25 tonnes of steel girders had travelled from

:03:20. > :03:25.Poland to this factory in Berlin. The driver was 37-year-old Lukasz

:03:26. > :03:30.Urban, who was later found dead inside the cab. His cousin, who

:03:31. > :03:35.owned the truck company, said they lost contact with him around 4pm. He

:03:36. > :03:44.was called yesterday to identify the body. TRANSLATION: There were

:03:45. > :03:48.stabbed wins on the photo I had been shown. I learnt about the gunshot

:03:49. > :03:53.wounds about the police, who told me that apart from being stabbed, he

:03:54. > :03:57.was also shot. On Monday morning, he arrived ahead of schedule at the

:03:58. > :04:00.steel factory in Berlin, ready to unload. There was no space and he

:04:01. > :04:06.was asked to come back later. He never returned. A dubious tracker is

:04:07. > :04:09.reported to show that at around 3:45pm, the truck was driven

:04:10. > :04:19.erratically, as if someone was learning to drive it. Lukasz Urban,

:04:20. > :04:23.it seems, was kept alive possibly until the start of the attack.

:04:24. > :04:25.Police have since checked all hospitals in Berlin, where victims

:04:26. > :04:35.of the attacks continue to be treated after blood was found,

:04:36. > :04:41.potentially of the suspect. Bring us up-to-date on how this is going,

:04:42. > :04:44.trying to find the suspect. So far, police are saying they have not

:04:45. > :04:49.arrested him, so we don't have any details on whether they have found

:04:50. > :04:54.him or not. Also the details are few and far between, because what

:04:55. > :04:56.officials have told us is that they don't want to jeopardise the

:04:57. > :05:01.investigation in questioning lots of different people. They don't want to

:05:02. > :05:04.jeopardise the investigation by giving away too much information of

:05:05. > :05:07.what they already know. That is busy frustrating for all of us who want

:05:08. > :05:13.to find out what is going on. It is also very worrying for German

:05:14. > :05:17.public, because obviously this is a very nerve wracking situation for

:05:18. > :05:20.people here, because there is a dangerous man on the loose. Police

:05:21. > :05:24.have said he should not be approached, they say he is possibly

:05:25. > :05:28.armed. It is creating a certain amount of concern here in Germany.

:05:29. > :05:31.Has seen other people online commenting that this will become a

:05:32. > :05:34.political story because of the possibility that the person behind

:05:35. > :05:37.this attack may have come into Germany as an asylum seeker or

:05:38. > :05:42.refugee. I have seen others pointing out that Germany's acting in a way,

:05:43. > :05:44.perhaps markedly different to how other countries have reacted to

:05:45. > :05:51.terrorist attacks. What is your reading of that? I think both are

:05:52. > :05:55.true to a certain extent. On the one hand, it is a political story, there

:05:56. > :05:58.are lots of questions around the way the investigation is being handled

:05:59. > :06:01.and the background of this particular suspect for example the

:06:02. > :06:04.fact that he is a rejected asylum seeker. But for legal reasons was

:06:05. > :06:08.allowed to stay temporarily. There are a lot of people in that

:06:09. > :06:10.situation, it's satisfactory situation for those people

:06:11. > :06:14.themselves, but also from the security situation here in Germany.

:06:15. > :06:18.That is a debate that is happening already. On the other hand, it does

:06:19. > :06:22.seem different to the reaction in France, where all of a sudden it

:06:23. > :06:28.seemed to be a state of war was being declared. Here in Germany, the

:06:29. > :06:32.government and mainstream debate a goal -- political debate is focused

:06:33. > :06:36.on bringing people together, saying it's important not to create

:06:37. > :06:39.scapegoats for the situation because Germany's already very divided over

:06:40. > :06:44.the issue of refugees. You have quite literally almost half the

:06:45. > :06:48.country really supports Angela Merkel's stance on refugees and her

:06:49. > :06:51.humanitarian gesture to take in legitimate refugees, but you have

:06:52. > :06:54.the other half of the country who are not so sure. And there is quite

:06:55. > :07:00.a large minority of people who feel quite nervous about the large influx

:07:01. > :07:04.of Ryan's -- migrants and refugees over the last 18 months. That aside,

:07:05. > :07:07.I think what people are focusing on right now is this particular

:07:08. > :07:12.incident. It is still unclear who perpetrated the attack, and why.

:07:13. > :07:15.Until we know those details, officials are really saying we have

:07:16. > :07:18.to try not to engage in too much speculation, because we saw that

:07:19. > :07:23.yesterday, but we were all spectating about this Pakistani man

:07:24. > :07:27.who in the end did not turn out to be a suspect at all. We have had

:07:28. > :07:30.previous attacks in which there have been completely false leads that

:07:31. > :07:33.alone has gone down. What we're seeing now is official saying we

:07:34. > :07:38.have to be careful, to wait until we know exactly who committed the

:07:39. > :07:42.attack and why the foregoing the political parallels and political

:07:43. > :07:47.conclusions. Very useful, thank you very much. Our correspondent live

:07:48. > :07:52.from Berlin. This is interesting, this tweet coming in. This is from

:07:53. > :08:02.one of our colleagues in the Brussels newsroom.

:08:03. > :08:10.The BBC is not able to confirm this, but an Italian news agency reporting

:08:11. > :08:13.this. If true, it raises major questions about how information is

:08:14. > :08:18.being shared between European union members. Those same questions came

:08:19. > :08:22.up after the Brussels attacks and after the Paris attacks. Even if

:08:23. > :08:25.they were to be confirmed, there are still pressing questions for the

:08:26. > :08:30.German authorities, because clearly they were aware of this chief

:08:31. > :08:31.suspect several months ago. As I was mentioned towards the beginning of

:08:32. > :08:34.the programme. Finding the attacker may have been

:08:35. > :08:37.easier with greater levels of video Germans have traditionally been

:08:38. > :08:47.reticent to allow greater levels All of these videos are from CCTV

:08:48. > :08:56.cameras here in the UK. They've all been used

:08:57. > :08:59.to solve crimes. And that's because the UK has one

:09:00. > :09:02.of the highest levels of video There are signs that recent

:09:03. > :09:09.incidents in Germany have Germany will allow more video

:09:10. > :09:21.surveillance in public places, under a draft law passed

:09:22. > :09:24.by the cabinet on Wednesday, reflecting growing security fears

:09:25. > :09:26.in a country that has for decades The law would make it easier

:09:27. > :09:42.for private organisations to put TRANSLATION: The regulation for

:09:43. > :09:46.video surveillance will be adapted in such a way that the protection of

:09:47. > :09:50.life, freedom and health of people must be an important interest in

:09:51. > :09:55.surveillance by private parties take place in public places. Concerns all

:09:56. > :10:02.kinds of large-scale public places, such as sport or event menus,

:10:03. > :10:05.shopping centres and therefore also include Christmas markets. Will come

:10:06. > :10:07.back to the story of the Berlin truck attack later in the addition

:10:08. > :10:10.of Outside Source. These are some of the latest picture

:10:11. > :10:18.we have of the evacuation of Aleppo. It's continuing after

:10:19. > :10:20.yet another delay. Activists say 60 buses were stuck

:10:21. > :10:24.in a rebel enclave overnight - and that 3,000 people had to wait

:10:25. > :10:27.in freezing weather The Syrian government says the delay

:10:28. > :10:42.was caused by MAP rebels who prevented the simultaneous

:10:43. > :10:45.evacuation of two pro-government But I should add, as ever,

:10:46. > :10:52.it's very hard to be completely sure about anything

:10:53. > :10:55.that is happening in Aleppo. Here's more from James

:10:56. > :11:11.Longman in Beirut. This looks to be the endgame for

:11:12. > :11:15.East Aleppo. We understand that so far all of the critically ill and

:11:16. > :11:19.seriously injured have already been evacuated, according to the Red

:11:20. > :11:24.Cross, who are managing this evacuation. We think that the last

:11:25. > :11:27.few buses are either just about to leave or on their way out of East

:11:28. > :11:30.Aleppo. It has always been very difficult to know just how many

:11:31. > :11:36.people needed to be evacuated from this part of Aleppo. In the

:11:37. > :11:38.beginning of this process, the United Nations said something in the

:11:39. > :11:45.region of 50,000 people needed to leave. Over the last few days,

:11:46. > :11:49.something like 25,000 have come out. That is the official number, but we

:11:50. > :11:55.think it is probably higher than that. This evening into tomorrow

:11:56. > :11:58.morning, it is of all the last people leave, to go to a medical

:11:59. > :12:01.evacuation point to the west of Aleppo where they will receive all

:12:02. > :12:05.the things they were missing when they were living in besieged Aleppo.

:12:06. > :12:10.The conditions that they faced their were horrific, months of siege,

:12:11. > :12:14.bombardment. They are in a very bad way indeed. They will access this

:12:15. > :12:17.can then be able to choose where they want to go next. Most of them

:12:18. > :12:21.will choose to go to the last remaining stronghold of the

:12:22. > :12:25.opposition in Syria, which is Idlib, the last province in the north-west

:12:26. > :12:30.of cereal. As for East Aleppo, the Syrian government has said that the

:12:31. > :12:35.army will enter that part of the city -- north-west of Syria. And

:12:36. > :12:40.finally recapture as they put it, the whole of the city. This is a

:12:41. > :12:43.huge victory for the resident. The war into is not over, but it looks

:12:44. > :12:49.like the war in Aleppo at least is. Thank you very much, James.

:12:50. > :12:52.This video has been watched thousands of times online.

:12:53. > :12:54.This is what happened when at Mexico's biggest

:12:55. > :13:10.The market is on the outskirts of Mexico City.

:13:11. > :13:16.You will see the plays in question was just to the north, and at this

:13:17. > :13:20.time of year fireworks markets are doing a brisk trade.

:13:21. > :13:26.This report from Will Grant has all the latest.

:13:27. > :13:29.Captured on mobile phone footage, the moment this fireworks market

:13:30. > :13:32.Within minutes, the entire site destroyed in a blaze of smoke,

:13:33. > :13:39.Once the smoke cleared, the scale of the damage became clear.

:13:40. > :13:43.A fire at the main San Pablito fireworks market outside

:13:44. > :13:45.Most celebrations in Mexico involve fireworks,

:13:46. > :13:51.so in the run-up to Christmas it was full of shoppers.

:13:52. > :13:54.Once nearby residents got over the initial shock of the blast,

:13:55. > :14:03.they did what they could to assist the emergency services.

:14:04. > :14:06.For the time being the authorities say they are still investigating

:14:07. > :14:09.Whatever is behind it, this isn't the first

:14:10. > :14:14.In 2005, just before Mexican Independence Day,

:14:15. > :14:18.the market caught alight, injuring more than 120 people.

:14:19. > :14:23.At the time the Mexican government vowed to impose stricter regulations

:14:24. > :14:26.on the fireworks industry, but many Mexicans are angry the rules

:14:27. > :14:31.are often never applied or never enforced, and that Mexico State's

:14:32. > :14:33.market traders and shoppers lost their lives through

:14:34. > :14:57.We have begun with stories from Syria, Mexico and Germany. In a few

:14:58. > :15:01.minutes time, we will turn to China. China has been seized by the

:15:02. > :15:02.heaviest smog in years, our correspondent is on the street to

:15:03. > :15:06.tell us how it feels. A former Royal Marine Sergeant,

:15:07. > :15:09.who's serving a life sentence for murdering a wounded Afghan

:15:10. > :15:11.fighter, has been refused bail The family of Alexander Blackman,

:15:12. > :15:14.originally only known as Marine A, had hoped he'd be

:15:15. > :15:16.released for Christmas. His case is due to be

:15:17. > :15:19.re-considered sometime next year. There's flash photography

:15:20. > :15:25.in this next clip. We are obviously disappointed

:15:26. > :15:28.by the judge's decision not to grant However we must remember

:15:29. > :15:33.that earlier this month, the Criminal Cases Review Commission

:15:34. > :15:36.decided to refer the case back And this is the most important step

:15:37. > :15:44.towards getting Al's conviction We are grateful to the courts

:15:45. > :16:01.for expediting the appeal process. We ask that the media now give the

:16:02. > :16:10.family some space to come to terms with today's decision. Thank you.

:16:11. > :16:12.This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom.

:16:13. > :16:16.Police in Germany are searching for a Tunisian man as the main

:16:17. > :16:18.suspect behind the attack on a Christmas market on Monday.

:16:19. > :16:28.Officials say he had been previously monitored by security services.

:16:29. > :16:32.of the main stories from BBC World Service.

:16:33. > :16:35.An investigation into the plane that went down last month killing 71

:16:36. > :16:38.people including most of a Brazilian football team has found the airline

:16:39. > :16:42.The plane apparently ran out of fuel before it came down in Colombia.

:16:43. > :16:44.At least 26 people have been killed in protests

:16:45. > :16:48.Violence started after President Joseph Kabila refused

:16:49. > :16:56.to step down when his mandate expired on Monday.

:16:57. > :16:59.And among the most read on our website -

:17:00. > :17:03.Ikea is asking teenagers to stop creeping into its stores

:17:04. > :17:08.About ten non-sponsored sleepovers have been logged across the world

:17:09. > :17:19.Which does beg the question, are there sanctioned sleepovers? We need

:17:20. > :17:22.to find out. Cities in Northern China know

:17:23. > :17:25.all about terrible smog - but what's happening right now

:17:26. > :17:31.is even worse than usual. Greenpeace East Asia says this

:17:32. > :17:43.is 'worst air pollution of 2016'. And that 460 million

:17:44. > :17:49.people are affected. It's a website called

:17:50. > :17:55.Worldwide Air Quality. This is Beijing - a reading

:17:56. > :17:57.of 25 is deemed safe. This is China as a whole -

:17:58. > :18:09.the high levels of pollution are marked in red and purple,

:18:10. > :18:17.yellow and green are lower. Not that pollution isn't

:18:18. > :18:30.an issue in these regions - but there is far less

:18:31. > :18:33.red and purple. Stephen McDonnell is based

:18:34. > :18:41.in Beijing for the BBC. This is what he recorded when he

:18:42. > :18:46.went out on the streets. Despite this oppressive

:18:47. > :18:48.blanket of smoke, life It's especially tough on those

:18:49. > :18:55.who work outside, breathing In years gone by, people weren't

:18:56. > :19:05.that worried about this issue. But now there's a high level

:19:06. > :19:07.of public awareness, And yet there are those not as

:19:08. > :19:32.worried as everyone else. You don't have to be completely

:19:33. > :19:35.outdoors to face major impacts There are lots of shops

:19:36. > :20:11.like this with an open front, For those with existing respiratory

:20:12. > :20:28.illnesses, it can make the situation much worse.

:20:29. > :20:31.The weather reports have been promising that the wind

:20:32. > :20:33.will come along and blow all this pollution away.

:20:34. > :20:44.But as you can see, it hasn't arrived yet.

:20:45. > :20:57.Let's talk about a big bail out for Italy banks.

:20:58. > :20:59.Parliament has signed off up to 20 billion euros.

:21:00. > :21:02.I say banks - but this is the one that's causing the most concern.

:21:03. > :21:05.Monte day Paski is the oldest bank and the third

:21:06. > :21:14.It may not get through the week without a helping hand.

:21:15. > :21:17.The Italian Finance Minister says "the impact on savers will be

:21:18. > :21:23.Perhaps - but someone will have to foot this bill.

:21:24. > :21:26.Here the BBC's Business Editor Simon Jack on the problems faced this

:21:27. > :21:38.This bank has got tonnes and tonnes of bad loans, money that people just

:21:39. > :21:45.can't afford to pay back. It had a very small capital base, and they

:21:46. > :21:49.just didn't have a buffer to be able to correct it. They didn't want a

:21:50. > :21:52.government bailout, although that looks increasingly inevitable. They

:21:53. > :21:59.wanted to raise 5 million euros of their own with private investors, it

:22:00. > :22:03.sells shares to private investors, including a Qatari investment fund,

:22:04. > :22:07.and hopes that are fading. I will be very surprised if this bank makes it

:22:08. > :22:12.at the weekend as a private company. The Senate in Italy has approved 20

:22:13. > :22:15.billion euros worth of money. It probably doesn't need that much, so

:22:16. > :22:20.there is a favouring his other banks needed to stop any kind of

:22:21. > :22:25.contagion. -- so there is some left over. In Italy, lots of the

:22:26. > :22:29.creditors to this bank are actually small retail investors. Tens of

:22:30. > :22:32.thousands of people have bombs in this bank. What will happen then is

:22:33. > :22:37.they will be built in, that means they'll have to write some of that

:22:38. > :22:45.money off. That will be very politically and very political time

:22:46. > :22:48.in Italy. It is thought the government will try to compensate

:22:49. > :22:53.those small bondholders, but this is the end of the road for Italy boss

:22:54. > :22:56.Mike Alderson bank. Italian banks often get referenced when we discuss

:22:57. > :23:02.the health of the Eurozone. Does this offer little more stability in

:23:03. > :23:14.that regard? It is difficult to say. 40% of all the bad loans emanate

:23:15. > :23:20.from the Italian area. Will this, you know, bring an end to the

:23:21. > :23:25.instability of Italian banks? Not necessarily. What will help is

:23:26. > :23:29.Italy's, and systemically important as far as the rest of the world is

:23:30. > :23:33.concerned banks, Uni credit, last week managed to raise 13 billion

:23:34. > :23:40.euros and people are very positive about that. The contagion outside

:23:41. > :23:42.Italy is pretty limited. You can get updates on his work as he goes about
