:01:53. > :01:55.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News At Six.

:01:56. > :01:58.A Europe-wide manhunt is under way tonight

:01:59. > :02:01.after German police issued a warrant for a suspect

:02:02. > :02:03.in the Berlin Christmas-market terror attack.

:02:04. > :02:09.a failed asylum-seeker who arrived in Germany last year.

:02:10. > :02:11.It's emerged that Amri was known to German authorities

:02:12. > :02:15.because of his links to an Islamist extremist.

:02:16. > :02:18.So tonight the police there are facing serious questions

:02:19. > :02:21.about whether they should have done more to stop him.

:02:22. > :02:25.From Berlin, Jenny Hill sent this report.

:02:26. > :02:28.You're looking at Europe's most wanted man.

:02:29. > :02:36.Anis Amri is the main, the only suspect in the investigation

:02:37. > :02:39.into an attack which shattered Germany.

:02:40. > :02:41.TRANSLATION: There's a new suspect, we are searching for him.

:02:42. > :02:47.We issued a warrant for this suspect's arrest at midnight.

:02:48. > :02:51.The warrant covers the whole of Germany and most of Europe.

:02:52. > :02:55.We're learning more about the 24-year-old Tunisian.

:02:56. > :03:01.He was refused asylum but granted temporary leave to stay.

:03:02. > :03:04.He was known to the authorities, considered a threat because of

:03:05. > :03:08.his links to one of Germany's most notorious Islamist networks.

:03:09. > :03:18.he used six different names and three nationalities.

:03:19. > :03:21.The hijacked lorry used in Monday's attack

:03:22. > :03:27.documents leading to the suspect and DNA.

:03:28. > :03:29.It's thought he struggled with the man who should have been

:03:30. > :03:33.behind the wheel before shooting him dead.

:03:34. > :03:37.Germany's misery compounded by the suggestion again

:03:38. > :03:40.that one of those who sought asylum here may have been responsible.

:03:41. > :03:47.Earlier, the far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders

:03:48. > :03:52.posted a picture of the Chancellor, her hands covered in blood.

:03:53. > :03:55.Do you blame Angela Merkel for what happened?

:03:56. > :03:59."Angela Merkel," she says, "is a humanitarian woman."

:04:00. > :04:01."She did the right thing a year ago,

:04:02. > :04:07.no-one could know this would happen."

:04:08. > :04:11.Flowers for the dead, prayers for the injured.

:04:12. > :04:16.Germany's Foreign Minister joined today by his Italian counterpart.

:04:17. > :04:25.is Fabrizia Di Lorenzo, who comes from L'Aquila.

:04:26. > :04:27.TRANSLATION: We have to realise that we are vulnerable

:04:28. > :04:30.right in the middle of our country, of our capital.

:04:31. > :04:32.We have to realise that we aren't spared

:04:33. > :04:35.the kind of attacks that happen elsewhere.

:04:36. > :04:38.Tonight, they don't know where their main suspect is.

:04:39. > :04:42.In fact, they're offering a reward of 100,000 euros.

:04:43. > :04:47.But this investigation does now have a face and a focus.

:04:48. > :04:57.That is, for some here perhaps, a little light in the darkness.

:04:58. > :05:03.And we can talk to Jenny Hill in Berlin. The more we learn from your

:05:04. > :05:10.report, the more it feels like the German police could have perhaps,

:05:11. > :05:15.should have done more. Yes, and I think there will be a growing sense

:05:16. > :05:20.of frustration, if not anger, actually, and for two reasons. First

:05:21. > :05:24.of all, Anis Amri was known to the authorities, they considered him to

:05:25. > :05:28.be dangerous because of his links to an extremist network. Secondly, of

:05:29. > :05:33.course, it was 24 hours before they identified him as the main suspect

:05:34. > :05:37.in this case, and bear in mind that during that time the police arrested

:05:38. > :05:44.and finally released an entirely, apparently, Ennis and man, giving

:05:45. > :05:48.Anis Amri a vital head start. -- innocent man. I think too

:05:49. > :05:52.compounding the misery for people in Berlin, in Germany tonight is the

:05:53. > :05:56.suggestion that somebody who entered this country as an asylum seeker may

:05:57. > :06:02.have been responsible, may have been the perpetrator of this terrible

:06:03. > :06:06.attack. Already, this evening, there are demonstrations by the

:06:07. > :06:11.anti-immigrant party, which has been fiercely critical of Angela Merkel's

:06:12. > :06:15.refugee policy. They have been demonstrating in the city this

:06:16. > :06:21.evening. I would go as far as to say that tonight Germany is not simply a

:06:22. > :06:23.country in morning, it is also a country deeply ill at ease. Jenny,

:06:24. > :06:25.thank you very much. With me is our security

:06:26. > :06:37.correspondent Frank Gardner. Paris, Brussels, Nice, Berlin,

:06:38. > :06:41.people will be thinking, where next? The jihadist threat to Europe is not

:06:42. > :06:48.new, it has been around in various forms for 20 years. In the year

:06:49. > :06:53.2000, Al-Qaeda plans to attack a Christmas market in Strasbourg, some

:06:54. > :06:57.16 years ago. But we have seen an intensification of plots, and the

:06:58. > :06:59.Syrian conflict has drawn in unprecedented numbers of

:07:00. > :07:02.international jihadists, would-be fighters, and some of those have

:07:03. > :07:07.been killed on the battlefield, some have given up the fight, but a large

:07:08. > :07:11.number of them are still there or trying to come back, winning their

:07:12. > :07:15.way back into Europe. There is a problem on the borders, a problem

:07:16. > :07:19.with all the different names, so the call to attack European countries is

:07:20. > :07:26.about two years old, specifically from so-called Islamic State. Their

:07:27. > :07:30.spokesman, to jihadist he was quite charismatic, and he issued his call

:07:31. > :07:34.- he is now dead, but a lot of people that call, and that has

:07:35. > :07:37.outlived him. All right, Frank, thank you very much, thank you.

:07:38. > :07:39.A millionaire property developer from south Wales has been jailed

:07:40. > :07:41.for life for the murder of his personal escort.

:07:42. > :07:43.Peter Morgan strangled Georgina Symonds,

:07:44. > :07:46.who earned up to ?10,000 a month, at her home in Newport.

:07:47. > :07:48.He had admitted killing her but denied it was murder.

:07:49. > :07:54.Georgina Symonds, mother to a five-year-old daughter -

:07:55. > :07:58.she was strangled by the man who called himself her sugar daddy.

:07:59. > :08:02.The 25-year-old had met property millionaire Peter Morgan

:08:03. > :08:07.The married 54-year-old had become infatuated with her.

:08:08. > :08:11.But the court heard he killed her in a carefully planned attack

:08:12. > :08:15.out of cold anger on finding out that she planned to blackmail him.

:08:16. > :08:22.Georgina Symonds's mother, Deborah, said their family was broken.

:08:23. > :08:23.The death of my daughter, Georgina Symonds,

:08:24. > :08:26.has been a devastating tragedy for the whole of our family.

:08:27. > :08:30.Her beautiful daughter has been left without a mum.

:08:31. > :08:36.Georgina has left a hole in our lives that will never be repaired.

:08:37. > :08:38.During their relationship, the father of two

:08:39. > :08:40.had paid Georgina Symonds up to ?10,000 a month,

:08:41. > :08:43.taken her on helicopter flights and bought expensive gifts.

:08:44. > :08:46.She moved into a bungalow in the grounds

:08:47. > :08:49.of a ruined mansion that he owned, but she didn't know that

:08:50. > :08:53.he'd installed a listening device disguised as a plug adapter.

:08:54. > :08:55.The multimillionaire overheard a conversation in which

:08:56. > :08:57.she spoke of plans to blackmail him by threatening

:08:58. > :08:59.to send intimate pictures to his family.

:09:00. > :09:02.Police visited her bungalow when she was reported missing

:09:03. > :09:05.after failing to pick up her daughter from school.

:09:06. > :09:12.claiming that he didn't know where she was.

:09:13. > :09:14.Where did we think she was going at 12 o'clock?

:09:15. > :09:16.Didn't say. She didn't say.

:09:17. > :09:22.But Georgina Symonds was already dead.

:09:23. > :09:25.Peter Morgan had concealed her body in a barn at his family home.

:09:26. > :09:30.that Peter Morgan told police officers what he'd done.

:09:31. > :09:34.The trouble was, once I'd sort of attempted to murder her,

:09:35. > :09:37.I'd be in a hell of a lot of trouble for that,

:09:38. > :09:43.and she could have still gone on and blackmailed me, couldn't she?

:09:44. > :09:47.During his trial, the jury had been told

:09:48. > :09:50.that Peter Morgan had Asperger's syndrome.

:09:51. > :09:52.He had denied murder on the grounds of diminished responsibility,

:09:53. > :09:56.but the judge told him that the plans that he had made

:09:57. > :09:59.and the steps he had taken to cover up what he'd done showed

:10:00. > :10:01.that he was in control and understood his actions.

:10:02. > :10:04.Peter Morgan showed no emotion as he was sentenced to life

:10:05. > :10:10.in prison with a minimum of 25 years for the murder of Georgina Symonds.

:10:11. > :10:14.Sian Lloyd, BBC News, Newport Crown Court.

:10:15. > :10:18.The Queen and Prince Philip have delayed plans to travel

:10:19. > :10:20.to their estate in Sandringham in Norfolk today, because

:10:21. > :10:22.they both have what Buckingham Palace described as "heavy colds".

:10:23. > :10:26.The Queen, who celebrated her 90th birthday this year,

:10:27. > :10:30.usually spend the Christmas break at Sandringham.

:10:31. > :10:32.Our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell

:10:33. > :10:45.Neck, what more can you tell us? Well, this is the story of the day,

:10:46. > :10:48.George, all the travel arrangements were in place for a train journey

:10:49. > :10:53.from King's Cross to King's Lynn at around 11 o'clock this morning, the

:10:54. > :10:57.protection people were there but then they were told to stand down,

:10:58. > :11:00.nobody would be travelling. Speculation started, at 1:30

:11:01. > :11:06.Buckingham Palace let it be known that the Queen and the Duke had, in

:11:07. > :11:11.their words, heavy colds, and travel was delayed. The question is whether

:11:12. > :11:15.they will be able to make the journey tomorrow, Friday or indeed

:11:16. > :11:18.Saturday, Christmas Eve. There is every expectation that they will,

:11:19. > :11:20.the Royal Family gather at Sandringham for Christmas, and they

:11:21. > :11:25.certainly won't want to miss that. The health of the Queen in recent

:11:26. > :11:29.times seemingly as robust as ever for somebody in a 91st year. The

:11:30. > :11:34.health or so of the Duke, at the age of 95, seemingly good at recent

:11:35. > :11:39.times. So heavy colds, in the words of Buckingham Palace, an expectation

:11:40. > :11:43.that they will travel, and no undue concern here tonight that I can

:11:44. > :11:45.detect. All right, thank you very much.

:11:46. > :11:47.A former Royal Marine Sergeant, who's serving a life sentence

:11:48. > :11:50.for murdering a wounded Afghan fighter in 2011,

:11:51. > :11:53.has been refused bail while he awaits an appeal hearing.

:11:54. > :11:56.The family of Alexander Blackman - who's known as Marine A -

:11:57. > :11:58.had hoped he'd be released from custody in time for Christmas.

:11:59. > :12:04.His case is due to be reconsidered next year.

:12:05. > :12:06.At least 31 people are known to have died

:12:07. > :12:09.in a series of explosions at a fireworks market in Mexico.

:12:10. > :12:12.Around 60 other people were injured, many with severe burns,

:12:13. > :12:21.The cause of the fire is unknown, but it's believed one stall

:12:22. > :12:25.caught fire before triggering a chain reaction of blasts.

:12:26. > :12:32.It's the third major fire at the market since 2005.

:12:33. > :12:35.NHS England has hit back at suggestions from some campaigners

:12:36. > :12:39.that it's about to embark on a major programme of cuts.

:12:40. > :12:43.Medical director Sir Bruce Keogh has told the BBC that plans to make

:12:44. > :12:46.radical changes to the way the NHS is run - with services

:12:47. > :12:51.concentrated on fewer sites - will deliver better patient care.

:12:52. > :12:58.that what he called "difficult choices" will have to be made.

:12:59. > :13:01.This report from our health editor, Hugh Pym.

:13:02. > :13:03.With threats to local hospitals, cue protesters, and that's what's

:13:04. > :13:12.They fear NHS reform plans will mean the local A being downgraded,

:13:13. > :13:17.Local managers say nothing's finalised, but with maternity

:13:18. > :13:19.services recently reduced, these demonstrators claim

:13:20. > :13:26.We need a hospital that is going to support the population of Banbury,

:13:27. > :13:28.and I feel that reducing the services of Banbury

:13:29. > :13:34.and forcing people to go elsewhere is going to put lives at risk.

:13:35. > :13:37.I want the Horton to stay as it is and grow, really.

:13:38. > :13:40.Not to shrink, to get better and bigger.

:13:41. > :13:43.It's just one example of sustainability and transformation

:13:44. > :13:49.plans drawn up in every area of England, with local health

:13:50. > :13:51.and social-care leaders urged to do more

:13:52. > :13:53.to look after people away from hospitals.

:13:54. > :13:55.Campaigners out trying to protect local hospital services

:13:56. > :14:03.The question is whether protests like this become more widespread.

:14:04. > :14:06.NHS leaders know they have to work hard

:14:07. > :14:10.to convince the public that changes could benefit patients.

:14:11. > :14:12.It's incumbent on those who are putting those proposals forward

:14:13. > :14:16.to be absolutely clear about what the benefits and risks

:14:17. > :14:19.of each proposed change are, because many communities

:14:20. > :14:23.will have some pretty difficult choices to make.

:14:24. > :14:27.What would you say to those who say this is a smoke screen for cuts

:14:28. > :14:33.There will always be people that think that.

:14:34. > :14:38.But actually, this is really about a proper conversation

:14:39. > :14:43.about how we improve the services, and in particular

:14:44. > :14:46.how we link up social care and the National Health Service.

:14:47. > :14:49.The local plan in Kent draws on pioneering work

:14:50. > :14:56.it sees GPs, the NHS and social care looking after patients together.

:14:57. > :15:01.I'm a lot better than I was, darling.

:15:02. > :15:05.Barbara, who has heart, lung and kidney problems,

:15:06. > :15:15.has visits whenever she needs, so she can live in her own home.

:15:16. > :15:18.The doctors come in and nurses, the carers come in and say to me...

:15:19. > :15:23.I recommend being at home to get better, rather

:15:24. > :15:28.Northern Ireland and Scotland already have integrated

:15:29. > :15:33.The landscape's the same across the UK, with an ageing

:15:34. > :15:38.England's attempts to join up local services offers opportunities,

:15:39. > :15:52.Police in Germany have launched a Europe wide

:15:53. > :15:54.manhunt for a suspect in the Berlin Christmas

:15:55. > :16:02.The success of Rio 2016 is still fresh in our minds,

:16:03. > :16:04.but these athletes are already thinking of Olympic glory

:16:05. > :16:12.Coming up on Sportsday in the next 15 minutes on BBC News,

:16:13. > :16:14.Kvitova's injury is worse than feared, the two-time Wimbledon

:16:15. > :16:17.champion said to be out for six months after injuring her hand

:16:18. > :16:37.Businesses and politicians are warning that Northern Ireland

:16:38. > :16:41.will be especially vulnerable when the UK finally leaves the EU.

:16:42. > :16:44.The two parties in Stormont's power sharing government were on different

:16:45. > :16:48.But since then they have been united in calling for a deal that

:16:49. > :16:50.recognises Northern Ireland's unique position as the only part

:16:51. > :16:53.of the UK with a land border with another EU country.

:16:54. > :16:56.In the latest of our series of reports looking at Brexit six

:16:57. > :16:57.months after the vote, here's our Ireland

:16:58. > :17:04.Londonderry is known as the walled city.

:17:05. > :17:08.These barriers were built as defences four centuries ago.

:17:09. > :17:11.But to protect itself in the future, most here want Derry to be

:17:12. > :17:16.There is particular concern among businesses about what the UK

:17:17. > :17:20.losing its European Union branding will mean.

:17:21. > :17:23.This labelling company sits just a mile from the border

:17:24. > :17:28.between Northern Ireland and the Republic.

:17:29. > :17:31.Soon that line will mark the point where the UK starts and ends.

:17:32. > :17:34.Northern Ireland, I believe, should have a special deal.

:17:35. > :17:36.Not only for the movement of goods and services

:17:37. > :17:38.but for the movement of people within the island of Ireland.

:17:39. > :17:41.It would be a nonsense to think that the island will be

:17:42. > :17:47.It has been pointed out time and time again that Northern Ireland

:17:48. > :17:50.is the only part of the UK to have a land border

:17:51. > :17:57.But it's only when you come to a city like Derry that you really

:17:58. > :18:02.There are people who live on one side and they work on the other.

:18:03. > :18:05.And people cross that border just to see friends and family

:18:06. > :18:08.Fearing stormy times ahead, Scotland has also been

:18:09. > :18:10.pushing for a special deal, or potentially even a second

:18:11. > :18:19.Something Irish nationalists have been watching closely.

:18:20. > :18:24.At this cultural centre in Derry you can order the Christmas special

:18:25. > :18:28.And there are some here who say if Scotland gets

:18:29. > :18:30.a vote on independence, there should also be

:18:31. > :18:38.If their argument to get another vote is based

:18:39. > :18:42.on remaining in Europe, the same argument should apply here.

:18:43. > :18:44.A majority on this side of the Irish Sea did

:18:45. > :18:49.But polls suggest there has been no real rise in support

:18:50. > :18:57.Yet since the Brexit decision, even in unionist areas like North Down,

:18:58. > :18:59.post offices have seen a surge in demand for applications for Irish

:19:00. > :19:02.and what will remain European passports.

:19:03. > :19:07.People from Northern Ireland are entitled to joint citizenship.

:19:08. > :19:10.I would like to feel European, but I won't now, will I?

:19:11. > :19:12.Other than the fact I've got an Irish passport,

:19:13. > :19:20.It's not yet clear what gifts could be offered by the EU

:19:21. > :19:23.or Westminster to this part of the UK.

:19:24. > :19:26.But on the road to Brexit, Northern Ireland needs to find a way

:19:27. > :19:28.of ensuring its unique position stands out.

:19:29. > :19:35.A brief look at some of the day's other other news stories.

:19:36. > :19:38.The European Court of Justice has ruled that the "indiscriminate"

:19:39. > :19:40.collecting of emails and other electronic data by the UK

:19:41. > :19:45.EU judges said communications information can only be retained

:19:46. > :19:49.if it's targeted and used to fight serious crime.

:19:50. > :19:56.The Home Office says it'll try to get the decision overturned.

:19:57. > :19:58.The Italian Parliament has approved a government plan
