:01:34. > :01:36.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC news at One.
:01:37. > :01:39.Police in Germany have reportedly launched a nationwide hunt
:01:40. > :01:41.for a Tunisian man who's believed to have carried out
:01:42. > :01:47.His identity papers were found in the cab of the truck.
:01:48. > :01:50.It's thought he is a migrant who arrived in Germany last year
:01:51. > :01:55.12 people died and almost 50 were injured when the lorry ploughed
:01:56. > :01:57.through the crowds in the centre of Berlin on Monday night.
:01:58. > :02:15.Amid the chaos and panic of the attack, the has man at the wheel
:02:16. > :02:19.slipped into the dark. The man arrested, a 23-year-old Pakistani
:02:20. > :02:24.migrant has been released without charge. Now there is a new suspect,
:02:25. > :02:32.said to be a Tunisian asylum seeker who is still at large. German yups
:02:33. > :02:39.carry pictures of a man called Anis A. He said to be known to police and
:02:40. > :02:45.he was wanted on charges of assault. The truck, carrying 25 tonnes of
:02:46. > :02:51.girders had travelled from Poland to Berlin. The driver was a 37-year-old
:02:52. > :03:00.Lukasz Urban, later found dead in the cab. His cousin, who owned the
:03:01. > :03:03.truck said they lost contact with Mr Urban in the afternoon. He was
:03:04. > :03:11.called yesterday to identify the body. There were stab wounds on the
:03:12. > :03:20.photograph I was shown. I learned about the gunshots wounds from
:03:21. > :03:27.police. They said he is also shot. That struggle has left clues. There
:03:28. > :03:33.were papers found. Where might the suspect have intercepted the truck?
:03:34. > :03:40.On Monday Mr Urban arrived at the steel factory in Berlin ready to
:03:41. > :03:46.unload. There was no space. At 8pm, the lorry ploughed into the crowded
:03:47. > :03:53.market, killing 12 people and injuring 49. The driver fled into
:03:54. > :04:01.the darkness, pursued by a witness who called the police. A 23-year-old
:04:02. > :04:08.was arrested, but there was nothing to link him to the truck in in those
:04:09. > :04:20.hours the real suspect had escaped. Mr Urban was kept alive, perhaps
:04:21. > :04:25.until the moment of the attack. A GPS tracker is said to have shown
:04:26. > :04:31.the truck move being erratically. The who had spots in the cab could
:04:32. > :04:36.be that of the suspect. Police have checked all hospitals in Berlin.
:04:37. > :04:42.Eight of them are heavily injured, two of them died and we have now
:04:43. > :04:47.here in this hospital four patients with severe trauma of the lower
:04:48. > :04:56.extremities and the pelvis. One of the 12 victims is said to be a
:04:57. > :05:02.31-year-old Italian. Her phone and metro pass were found at the scene.
:05:03. > :05:07.There is no doubt the slip up in the investigation piles more pressure on
:05:08. > :05:13.to the Chancellor, Angela Merkel and I won't help that the Tunisian
:05:14. > :05:20.they're hunting seems to have slipped into the country when she
:05:21. > :05:29.opened the door to refugees. In a way we knew this would happen. But
:05:30. > :05:34.there is a disconnect between what you know in your mind and how you
:05:35. > :05:39.react when it happens and how you prepare. This place was not
:05:40. > :05:43.protected enough. And the same goes for all the other Christmas markets
:05:44. > :05:49.over Germany and other things. You go to France and you see military in
:05:50. > :05:52.the streets, a place like this would have had armoured vehicles protect
:05:53. > :05:59.it. The Germans said, we don't want to do this, which don't want our
:06:00. > :06:02.Christmas feeling to be destroyed. That is an understandable way of
:06:03. > :06:07.looking at things. But it is the wrong way. Things have to change.
:06:08. > :06:16.Today, I think actually there is not enough police on the street. The
:06:17. > :06:19.anxiety that is felt in Berlin will be shared around Europe. The
:06:20. > :06:23.simplicity of the attack, the background of the suspect, the clues
:06:24. > :06:29.that were missed and of course the difficulty in trying to stop them
:06:30. > :06:31.chl Well our correspondent
:06:32. > :06:41.Widespread reports about the hunt for the Tunisian man, but no
:06:42. > :06:47.confirmation from the authorities? That's right. I think we need to be
:06:48. > :06:51.very guarded about this. One can say that the press reports are numerous
:06:52. > :06:56.and from different sources, they refer to the man himself, the
:06:57. > :07:01.circumstances which may have led police to follow a trail and to a
:07:02. > :07:07.police operation which some media sources are saying is under way near
:07:08. > :07:13.a town up in the north-west of Germany near the Dutch border. A
:07:14. > :07:18.town that again it is said Anis A may have connections to. That is a
:07:19. > :07:22.developing story, perhaps, maybe we will get some confirmation later.

:08:38. > :08:43.police presence. What is new and none of the people we spoke to
:08:44. > :08:47.noticed is that more roads were closed and for longer. Traffic is

:12:26. > :12:29.It is a real headache for the Government. We are talking about
:12:30. > :12:37.communication data, not content, but the who, the what, the where and the
:12:38. > :12:40.when of phone calls, text messages, e-mails and internet browsing. That
:12:41. > :12:46.can give a personal picture of someone's life. The ruling said the
:12:47. > :12:51.blanket retention of that data is illegal and the only thing that can
:12:52. > :12:55.be justified is specific targeting of that data in relation to the
:12:56. > :13:01.combatting of serious crime. That is a problem for the Government,

:13:06. > :13:09.power to retain that data generally for up to 12 months on any

:25:00. > :25:01.I couldn't for instance fly this here because we're too close

:25:23. > :25:27.And there would be tougher penalties for using drones in no-fly zones.

:26:15. > :26:32.We have been told that the Queen has cancelled plans to travel by train
:26:33. > :26:34.today to her private Sandringham estate in Norfolk. She is understood
:26:35. > :26:39.to be feeling unwell. Nicholas Witchel is with me now. What do we
:26:40. > :26:43.know? Not a lot, the first thing to say is there is no cause for alarm
:26:44. > :26:47.or there appears to be no alarm at Buckingham Palace. They are being
:26:48. > :26:51.very matter-of-fact. But it is the case she had been due to travel to
:26:52. > :26:56.Sandringham today to begin the Christmas break. She normally
:26:57. > :27:00.travels by train, a couple of hours, it was noticed this morning that she
:27:01. > :27:04.had not caught the train that she normally would catch to King 's
:27:05. > :27:09.Lynn. And questions then of course were asked. It now transpires that
:27:10. > :27:13.officials at Buckingham Palace are saying she's feeling unwell, we do
:27:14. > :27:20.not know in what way. But as I said there is no suggestion of panic or
:27:21. > :27:24.alarm. At Buckingham Palace, whether it is a heavy cold or something
:27:25. > :27:28.else, I do not know. She was last seen in public a couple of weeks ago
:27:29. > :27:32.at Westminster Abbey attending a service marking the 60th anniversary
:27:33. > :27:35.of the Duke of Edinburgh award. Since then she had a number of
:27:36. > :27:39.private audiences. It was three years ago that she was last unwell,
:27:40. > :27:44.that was some kind of stomach disorder. At one stage she joked
:27:45. > :27:48.that doctors did not know what was wrong but it is scarcely interrupted
:27:49. > :27:51.her programme. So I'm sure at some stage this will tell us what the
:27:52. > :27:54.problem was. A 102-year-old scientist has
:27:55. > :27:57.won his battle to carry on working at an Australian university,
:27:58. > :27:58.despite being described Dr David Goodall was told
:27:59. > :28:03.he would have to work from home from the New Year but the university
:28:04. > :28:05.in Perth has now Our correspondent Hywell
:28:06. > :28:10.Griffith sent this report. After seven decades as an ecologist,
:28:11. > :28:15.David Goodall says his natural environment is here,
:28:16. > :28:17.on campus, surrounded In August the centenarian was told
:28:18. > :28:24.it was no longer safe for him to come into work
:28:25. > :28:27.at the Edith Cowan University But after his case won
:28:28. > :28:33.international support, the management has now relented
:28:34. > :28:38.and found him this new office. I have only been here one day,
:28:39. > :28:41.so it's a bit difficult for me But I think that they will
:28:42. > :28:53.try to make me at home. The journey from home
:28:54. > :28:59.will be much quicker, reaching his old office
:29:00. > :29:01.involved a 90 minute commute The university says they've always
:29:02. > :29:06.had his interests at heart. First of all, it's closer
:29:07. > :29:08.to his residence, so it's Secondly, there's an office very
:29:09. > :29:13.close to it, manned most of the time, so we will be able
:29:14. > :29:16.to keep an eye on him. Having been forced to give
:29:17. > :29:20.up his other love of acting, Doctor Goodall is determined
:29:21. > :29:23.to keep his mind active. A baby gorilla which has been
:29:24. > :29:35.hand-reared at Bristol Zoo since her birth has been reunited
:29:36. > :29:37.with the rest of the family Afia was born by emergency
:29:38. > :29:53.caesarean ten months ago. After her mother became too ill to
:29:54. > :29:56.care for her she was hand reared by keepers at the zoo and has now
:29:57. > :30:01.become fully integrated with the rest of the troop thanks to a
:30:02. > :30:03.surrogate mother. She spends 24 hours a day with them now.
:30:04. > :30:16.Stormy weather heading our way. It has arrived across the far west of
:30:17. > :30:21.Scotland and we had some snow across the Highlands. But it is the wind
:30:22. > :30:27.that is the issue through today across the North West. The gusts in
:30:28. > :30:34.excess of 40 or 50 miles an hour at developing at the moment so some
:30:35. > :30:38.severe gales could be likely. At the same time we have a band of rain
:30:39. > :30:42.moving down into the Midlands and gradually moving into the South
:30:43. > :30:49.West. But the real issue is those showers across the North West,
:30:50. > :30:55.involving some hail, sleet and snow put up feeling quite cool out there
:30:56. > :31:02.as well. The cloud and rain sit across the Midlands and down into
:31:03. > :31:06.the South West. But across south-east England not a bad
:31:07. > :31:13.afternoon. Most of the rain not arriving until after dark. Then that
:31:14. > :31:18.drifts further south and east and we could see some frost. The showers
:31:19. > :31:25.keep on going into the far north-west, we could have an issue
:31:26. > :31:28.with ice as well. So miserable start to Thursday in Scotland and Northern
:31:29. > :31:34.Ireland, windy with frequent showers. But elsewhere not a bad day
:31:35. > :31:40.in prospect with some decent sunny coming through. As we move out of
