:02:14. > :02:15.With more on this terror attack, here's our Berlin
:02:16. > :02:36.Good evening. There is a very subdued mood here in the heart of
:02:37. > :02:39.Berlin tonight. Last night, thousands of people went along to
:02:40. > :02:45.that Christmas market. 12 of them never came home again. For some
:02:46. > :02:49.months, people in Germany have been living with the fear that something
:02:50. > :02:52.like this could happen. The Christmas markets have long been
:02:53. > :02:58.considered vulnerable to a terror attack. Of course though no one
:02:59. > :02:59.really expected this would happen, particularly so soon before
:03:00. > :03:09.Christmas. A country, a leader facing what they
:03:10. > :03:13.had long feared. Not only a deadly terror attacks on German soil, but
:03:14. > :03:18.an attack which may have been perpetrated by someone who entered
:03:19. > :03:25.the country as a refugee. Even the police admit they still don't know
:03:26. > :03:31.who drove a lorry at speed into the crust -- credit Christmas market.
:03:32. > :03:34.Last night they arrested a Pakistani asylum seeker. Today they said
:03:35. > :03:41.they're not sure they have their man. Those responsible may still be
:03:42. > :03:45.at large. TRANSLATION: The investigation is
:03:46. > :03:48.ongoing. We are checking for clues, DNA traces. We're not sure whether
:03:49. > :03:55.the arrested man was the driver. This investigation is over. The
:03:56. > :03:58.lorry itself, which belongs to a Polish firm, appears to have been
:03:59. > :04:02.hijacked. Today, its owner identified the man who should have
:04:03. > :04:11.been at the wheel. The young Polish driver was found shot date in the
:04:12. > :04:17.passenger seat. Today, every Christmas market in the city was
:04:18. > :04:22.closed. Time to remember the dead. And first song, to reflect on a
:04:23. > :04:29.lucky escape. It's just amazing how peaceful, festive, had -- happy
:04:30. > :04:35.atmosphere changed instantly. It was a scene of utter devastation. It
:04:36. > :04:39.will be a long time, they told us, before they will be able to forget
:04:40. > :04:47.what they saw. There were people lying on the floor. We were not sure
:04:48. > :04:55.if it was red Wine or blood. But we did see, I remember there were
:04:56. > :05:00.people trying to lift the stalls up. We realised that the people
:05:01. > :05:04.unfortunately I believe had already passed. Germany is a country in
:05:05. > :05:08.mourning. Its chancellor under pressure. Earlier this year, asylum
:05:09. > :05:14.seekers carried out what are thought to have been the first Islamic State
:05:15. > :05:20.inspired terror attacks on German soil. Angela Merkel must reassure
:05:21. > :05:25.the electorate open-door policy has not put them at risk. It would be
:05:26. > :05:30.particularly hard to bear, she says, if it turns out the Brit -- the
:05:31. > :05:34.person who did this had sought in Germany. It would be particularly
:05:35. > :05:39.offensive to the many Germans engaged daily in the task of helping
:05:40. > :05:45.refugees. The attack took place next to a
:05:46. > :05:51.bombed out church, left in ruins as a reminder of the horror of war. But
:05:52. > :05:51.once again, violence, terror, has torn through another European
:05:52. > :05:56.capital. As we've heard, Chancellor Angela
:05:57. > :05:58.Merkel has herself raised the possibility that the attacker
:05:59. > :06:02.could be a refugee. She's already under huge pressure
:06:03. > :06:05.for letting in hundreds of thousands of people
:06:06. > :06:07.into the country last year. Political reaction has been swift,
:06:08. > :06:11.with some blaming yesterday's attack Here's Our Europe Correspondent,
:06:12. > :06:27.Damian Grammaticas. Beneath one of Berlin's landmarks, a
:06:28. > :06:32.symbol of war past, the main shopping street was cordoned off
:06:33. > :06:37.Micro. The attack was a blow to the very heart of Germany. That is why
:06:38. > :06:41.it is felt so deeply here. Searching for clues about their suspect, this
:06:42. > :06:48.is where police raided at three o'clock in the morning, Berlin's
:06:49. > :06:53.biggest asylum shelter. And they had shared a room with a man. He was
:06:54. > :06:56.questioned for a couple of hours. I am very angry about what has
:06:57. > :07:06.happened. I am very angry today about what has happened to me. I
:07:07. > :07:11.didn't do anything. They treated me like a criminal man. Germany has
:07:12. > :07:15.taken in more than a million people since the migrant crisis began.
:07:16. > :07:20.Before this week, three lone individuals had carried out attacks.
:07:21. > :07:30.No Germans had died. Angela Merkel personally identified with the
:07:31. > :07:35.refugee policy. From an Afghan refugee, she received thanks last
:07:36. > :07:39.month. Today, Germany's far-right, already resurgent in the opinion
:07:40. > :07:44.polls, sought to capitalise. This migration policy of Mrs Merkel is
:07:45. > :07:50.one of the factors because something like this can happen. We don't know
:07:51. > :07:54.who is in our country. We don't know what background they have. We do not
:07:55. > :08:00.know if terrorists are in Germany and I think we have to stop this. A
:08:01. > :08:04.lasting impact of this attack may be political. Questions of security
:08:05. > :08:09.seized on by those seeking to drain support from Angela Merkel in
:08:10. > :08:12.federal elections next year. Further afield across Europe, it serves as a
:08:13. > :08:19.reminder to political leaders that their support remains vulnerable to
:08:20. > :08:23.acts of terror and violence. A majority of Germans have supported
:08:24. > :08:29.the welcoming policy, provided it's for refugees fleeing war, voicing it
:08:30. > :08:32.even today. When people flee their countries and you see the danger
:08:33. > :08:40.there, we are obliged to have them, she says. Others worry about the
:08:41. > :08:44.threat. Our politicians need to wake up, he adds, fear is going. They are
:08:45. > :08:47.not spending on security. It all means the question of who carried
:08:48. > :08:51.out the attack, whether it was someone welcomed as a refugee, is
:08:52. > :08:54.crucial for Mrs Merkel and her vision of a free open Germany.
:08:55. > :08:56.Damien grammatical, Berlin. After yesterday's attack in Berlin,
:08:57. > :08:58.authorities throughout Europe - including Britain -
:08:59. > :09:00.have been revisiting their security Here, there's been no specific
:09:01. > :09:05.intelligence of any plot, and the threat level remains
:09:06. > :09:09.unchanged at severe, which means a terror
:09:10. > :09:11.attack is highly likely. Here's our Security
:09:12. > :09:16.Correspondent, Frank Gardner. Christmas markets, festive cheer
:09:17. > :09:21.and heightened security. Britain was already
:09:22. > :09:26.on alert for terrorism before last night's
:09:27. > :09:27.attack in Berlin. Now, security measures have been
:09:28. > :09:34.reviewed around public markets. In Birmingham, both uniformed
:09:35. > :09:36.and plain clothes police The public in this
:09:37. > :09:38.market seem undeterred. I don't think we can
:09:39. > :09:41.allow it to happen, to intimidate us or affect our way
:09:42. > :09:44.of life and what we do. If you dwell on it too much and sit
:09:45. > :09:50.back and don't do anything, In London, the extremely high number
:09:51. > :09:56.of CCTV cameras acts as some In Britain, the authorities

:10:08. > :10:15.thousands of people the whole time. The risk is very
:10:16. > :10:19.real and that is why it's so important for us

:12:08. > :12:11.has been a new development? Yes indeed. There are no reports
:12:12. > :12:15.circulating widely in the German media, as yet unconfirmed by police,
:12:16. > :12:20.that officers have led their main suspect go. The Pakistani man who

:12:25. > :12:30.year, who've been in custody since last night, has, those reports say,
:12:31. > :12:35.been released from custody because of insufficient evidence. That means
:12:36. > :12:39.nearly 24 hours after last night's deadly attack, police have no
:12:40. > :12:43.suspects in custody. They have admitted that those responsible for
:12:44. > :12:47.the attack, and they believe it may be more than one person, are still
:12:48. > :12:50.at large. People in Berlin have been advised to stay in their homes

:16:21. > :16:25.that one. It's no secret that Russia and Turkey have had quite a
:16:26. > :16:28.difficult and sometimes an explosive relationship. Think back to just

:19:00. > :19:01.successfully treated with the new light therapy and had
:19:02. > :19:04.no long-term side effects. Well, I feel incredibly lucky that
:19:05. > :19:06.I was accepted for the trial. I can look forward to

:19:42. > :19:44.clear of cancer two years later, compared to about one in seven
:19:45. > :19:47.of those given standard care. Crucially, it did not

:21:52. > :21:54.north of the border. The mechanics of how it
:21:55. > :21:57.all might work are complex. The Scottish Government say it's

:22:19. > :22:22.market if the United Kingdom is leaving the EU because there'd be

:22:42. > :22:47.ignores her demands, that's not necessarily
:22:48. > :22:52.a total defeat. Nicola Sturgeon can use that
:22:53. > :22:54.to strengthen her arguments for a second referendum
:22:55. > :22:56.on Scottish independence. The Prime Minister today dismissed
:22:57. > :22:59.the idea of a separate Scottish deal and warned
:23:00. > :23:04.against a rush to independence. If Scotland were to become
:23:05. > :23:07.independent, then not only would it no longer be a member
:23:08. > :23:12.of the European Union, it would no longer be a member
:23:13. > :23:15.of the single market of the European Union and it
:23:16. > :23:17.would no longer be a member of the single market
:23:18. > :23:19.of the United Kingdom, and the single market
:23:20. > :23:22.of the United Kingdom is worth four times as much to Scotland

:23:25. > :23:28.the different demands for Brexit could yet strain the bonds that hold

:25:10. > :25:14.From 103-0, England were 207 all out.
:25:15. > :25:19.When he wasn't bowling, he was fielding.
:25:20. > :25:25.Jonny Bairstow on one - up, up, and out.
:25:26. > :25:37.A fifth Test defeat of the winter loomed, it went without saying
:25:38. > :25:41.With over an hour left, eighth wicket.
:25:42. > :25:47.When the wins stop, the buck stops with the captain,
:25:48. > :25:51.It's the wrong time to make those decisions because your
:25:52. > :26:00.You know, morale is low and you can make some foolish
:26:01. > :26:04.So why there's not a Test match for seven months,
:26:05. > :26:07.it'll seem very foolish to stand here now and make a decision.
:26:08. > :26:09.Well, England need Cook in the team, scoring runs.
:26:10. > :26:12.That might seem far more easy without the burden of captaincy.
:26:13. > :26:29.We won't like it? No, I can walk out now, if you like. Yesterday we left
:26:30. > :26:34.the forecast on a bit of a gloomy note. This time yesterday and it
:26:35. > :26:37.looks like severe gales are on the way.
:26:38. > :26:44.It is looking stormy across the Atlantic. The jetstream is pushing
:26:45. > :26:49.the clouds. Storms will develop over the next couple of days or so. One
:26:50. > :26:54.front crossing the UK. It has been a shocking day, for example, in
:26:55. > :26:56.Northern Ireland, in Belfast, cold, raining through the afternoon, gusty
:26:57. > :27:00.winds. The rain will cross other parts of the country. This is not
:27:01. > :27:05.the storm, this is the beginning of the unsettled weather. It is turning
:27:06. > :27:10.chilly as well. Wednesday, there will be sunshine, I don't want to
:27:11. > :27:14.paint a picture of doom and gloom. There will be nice weather around.
:27:15. > :27:18.It's windy to the north. There will be hail showers, maybe thunder
:27:19. > :27:21.around as well in one or two places. The south, later on tomorrow, is
:27:22. > :27:25.going to be pretty soggy. If you are out in the afternoon in the south
:27:26. > :27:29.tomorrow it will be grey and rainy. That rain will last until well after
:27:30. > :27:32.dark. Then the skies will clear. We get a shot of really chilly air
:27:33. > :27:35.through the course of Wednesday night into Thursday. Thursday
