:00:32. > :00:37.shooting. The Prime Minister's office was badly damaged. Several

:01:22. > :01:28.never before in Norway has caused shock and death in the country. A
:01:28. > :01:33.huge explosion in the capital, Oslo, has killed at least seven people
:01:33. > :01:39.and injured many others. The bomb blast ripped through many offices
:01:39. > :01:44.and buildings including the Office of the Prime Minister. Seven people
:01:44. > :01:51.have been -- several people have been killed by a man dressed as a
:01:51. > :01:56.policeman at a youth camp. Police say they are linking the two
:01:57. > :02:03.incidents. Our correspondent has more. Oslo this afternoon looked
:02:03. > :02:07.like a war zone. A huge explosion blew out the windows of the
:02:07. > :02:11.Norwegian prime minister's office. It caused casualties over a wide
:02:12. > :02:18.area. The Prime Minister was unharmed and taken to a safe
:02:18. > :02:25.hiding-place. It appears to have been a terrorist attack. We were
:02:25. > :02:30.sitting at a cafe and it sounded like the building was going to fall
:02:30. > :02:40.down around us. We ran out into the street and we saw all of the
:02:40. > :02:46.buildings surrounding. The main building was completely ruined.
:02:46. > :02:51.There was glass everywhere and people were bleeding. It was chaos.

:03:01. > :03:06.eight target? It could be because they have over 400 troops in
:03:06. > :03:16.Afghanistan and the repainting of cartoons that have triggered

:03:18. > :03:24.threats by a Jew harvests. -- jihadist says. We did see Sweden
:03:24. > :03:29.being targeted last year. Al-Qaeda is trying to hit more pratfalls

:03:38. > :03:45.targets. So the investigation begins. The important things to
:03:45. > :03:51.find out will be who did this and why am. We will be joining to our
:03:51. > :03:59.correspondent later. We can now speak to a journalist from Norway.
:03:59. > :04:08.You were in the building -- a building that was evacuated full --
:04:08. > :04:12.evacuated. Tell us more. We were on the main street. We had been
:04:12. > :04:19.evacuated but we are not that directly close to where the
:04:19. > :04:23.explosion happened. It is probably about 300 metres away. The whole
:04:24. > :04:29.block has been completely shattered from this explosion. People are
:04:29. > :04:36.just in shock after what has happened. The whole city centre is
:04:36. > :04:41.completely evacuated by the police including the Central Station.
:04:41. > :04:46.There are a lot of unanswered questions after this incident today.
:04:46. > :04:51.To give viewers in the United Kingdom and idea, this would be
:04:51. > :04:57.striking an area like Whitehall in London, very much at the heart of
:04:57. > :05:02.government buildings here. Definitely. You have probably seen
:05:03. > :05:08.the images of the devastation. This is the prime minister's office. It
:05:08. > :05:14.is also the or oil minister's office and there are many other
:05:14. > :05:22.offices located here. They are totally devastated. About 90 % of
:05:22. > :05:26.the windows of the prime minister's offices have been shattered. There
:05:26. > :05:35.are speculations about whether the bomb had been there for her whether
:05:35. > :05:42.it was in a car. These are things that will be clearer throughout the
:05:42. > :05:51.police investigation. There are reports about a shooting. It was at
:05:51. > :05:58.a Labour Youth Party camp in Utoya which is about an hour west of Oslo.
:05:58. > :06:03.There are reports that a person has been arrested. The man had been
:06:03. > :06:10.walking around dressed as a policeman. The reports are that
:06:10. > :06:17.people have been shot. Reports are now saying that there are at least
:06:17. > :06:27.seven people dead in the bomb attacks. Behind you for giving us
:06:27. > :06:31.the update on the situation in Oslo. -- thank you. Let's get more work
:06:31. > :06:37.with our correspondent on the shooting. It was a youth convention
:06:37. > :06:42.of the ruling Labour Party in our way. Yes. Reports have started to
:06:42. > :06:49.emerge just as teams were arriving on the ground in Oslo. It appears
:06:49. > :06:53.that someone dressed in a Norwegian police uniform took out a weapon
:06:53. > :06:58.and started shooting at people at a youth convention that was being
:06:58. > :07:02.held away from Oslo on an island. There were conflicting reports that
:07:02. > :07:08.the Prime Minister or the former Prime Minister was supposed to be
:07:08. > :07:13.at this. There is still some confusion about this. This man has
:07:13. > :07:19.been arrested and I think it will be crucial, the interrogation. He
:07:19. > :07:28.has been arrested alive rather then shot dead so who he turns out to be
:07:28. > :07:32.will be significant. The police are apparently linking the attacks. If
:07:32. > :07:38.you say the man arrested has got a Nordic features that would suggest
:07:38. > :07:43.he might be behind these attacks. It does not suggest anything at the
:07:43. > :07:50.moment. A lot of people are hoping that this is nothing to do with any
:07:50. > :07:55.Islamic extremist attack. Let's hope it is not. It doesn't make a
:07:55. > :07:58.difference to the casualties but it could turn out to be an artist or
:07:58. > :08:03.right-wing extremists or it could be a Muslim convert. Let's hope
:08:03. > :08:12.that is not the case. It is a possibility. There is a tendency
:08:12. > :08:17.when this kind of terrorist out a range happens -- out rage happens.
:08:17. > :08:24.I'm afraid there are solid grounds for that. There had been a number
:08:24. > :08:29.of jihadist threats against Norway. A leader of Al-Qaeda has threatened
:08:29. > :08:34.the country in the past because of its involvement with Afghanistan
:08:34. > :08:38.and also for printing cartoons that they were considered to be
:08:38. > :08:42.insulting to the Prophet Mohammed. There had been arrests of activists
:08:42. > :08:47.in the a way which have upset a number of people. There have been
:08:47. > :08:53.threats but no attacks so far in Norway. That would explain one
:08:53. > :08:59.possible line of thinking. But I think we need to hear very soon
:08:59. > :09:05.from the investigators what their initial thoughts are. A lot of
:09:05. > :09:11.explosive was used in this attack. It was 100 kilograms. That is a lot
:09:11. > :09:16.of explosive. Where did it come from? There is a lot of
:09:16. > :09:22.investigating to do before there are any conclusions. Pink you very
:09:22. > :09:28.much. We have been talking about the bomb blast in Oslo. -- 90 very
:09:28. > :09:33.much. People have been reported to have been killed in this attack.
:09:33. > :09:38.There have been some fatalities are by a gunman who apparently shot
:09:38. > :09:47.inside a youth convention. You can see continuing coverage right now
:09:47. > :09:52.if you want on BBC News. You can also see it on our website. Now to
:09:52. > :10:00.bring you some of the day's otherness. The militants in Somalia
:10:00. > :10:05.have given a -- D-Day's other news. The Al-Shabaab militants in Somalia
:10:05. > :10:12.dispute the United nation statement that there is a famine in the
:10:12. > :10:20.country. They accuse the UN Of saying it is worse than it is. You
:10:20. > :10:25.might find some of these images distressing. In-year-old refugee
:10:25. > :10:35.camp in Kenya, the body of a child lies close to those still fighting
:10:35. > :10:36.
:10:36. > :10:40.for life. There is a lot of damage here. The combination of war and
:10:40. > :10:47.drought have created a devastating emergency, displacing many as
:10:47. > :10:53.Somalian people within their own country. The capital is not safe.
:10:53. > :10:59.But it is still a magnet for people in need. This woman is 80 years old
:10:59. > :11:04.and she is taking care of five people. She is a grandmother. The
:11:04. > :11:09.father and mother died because of some diseases. The hardline
:11:09. > :11:17.Islamist group Al-Shabaab, which has admitted links to Al-Qaeda, is
:11:17. > :11:22.fighting against the Western aid that is coming to Somalia. This has
:11:22. > :11:27.left the government in control of only the centre of the capital. It
:11:27. > :11:32.is these areas where some Mullion people are starving to death and
:11:32. > :11:40.the UN has now -- Somalian people are starving to death and the UN
:11:40. > :11:45.has said there is a state of emergency. The agencies we banned
:11:45. > :11:48.before are still banned. Some of those we band were involved in
:11:48. > :11:53.political activities. Those were destroying the lives of our people
:11:53. > :11:57.so we had to ban them as well. The biggest responsibility lies with
:11:57. > :12:02.the United Nations. Their last report said there is famine in
:12:02. > :12:12.Somalia and we say it is utter nonsense. It is 100 % baseless and
:12:12. > :12:13.
:12:13. > :12:17.sheer propaganda. So the UN faces a mammoth challenge. It is very
:12:17. > :12:22.dangerous and risky but we have to reach people. They are not making
:12:22. > :12:27.it all the way here. These are the ones lucky enough to make it and
:12:27. > :12:34.even these feeding centres are overrun. This crisis is not
:12:34. > :12:39.confined to Somalia. In this part of Kenya many people need food is
:12:39. > :12:46.simply to survive. But it is the conflict in Somalia that has
:12:46. > :12:52.created the conflicts -- the problems as the famine continues.
:12:52. > :12:56.One of the agencies operating in Somalia is Medecins sans Frontiers.
:12:56. > :13:02.Its executive director Marc Dubois joins us now. Is there a famine in
:13:02. > :13:07.your view? We are in nine areas of the southern region of Somalia and
:13:07. > :13:15.that is where the UN has said that there is a famine. We do not have
:13:15. > :13:24.an overview of the statistics to say yes or no. We do see a shocking
:13:24. > :13:29.increase of severely malnourished children and it is a seasonal peak.
:13:29. > :13:38.So people are in dire need Of Help whether you call it a famine or not.
:13:38. > :13:42.There are aid agencies operating in a cheer -- Al-Shabaab parts of the
:13:42. > :13:46.area. Are there enough agencies to do the work to help the starving
:13:47. > :13:52.people? The capacity on the ground in that sudden central region of
:13:52. > :13:57.Somalia is not enough. We need to scale up rapidly. It is not a
:13:57. > :14:03.question of the number of agencies but a question of the capacity
:14:03. > :14:08.those agencies have. We had been there continuously since 1991. We
:14:09. > :14:18.have 1,400 international staff. We need to get worse Staffin and more
:14:18. > :14:28.resources. So you need the Western agencies? -- get more staff in. Yes.
:14:28. > :14:48.
:14:48. > :14:51.How do you get past the problem? It is a question of following --
:14:51. > :14:57.following a very closely the statistics and looking at what is
:14:57. > :15:02.happening in terms of the number of patients you are treating and
:15:03. > :15:08.everything else. The staff have been trained by us. I will have to
:15:09. > :15:14.cut you short now. Stockmarkets around the world seem to like the
:15:14. > :15:20.agreement on Thursday for a second bail out for Greece. They ended the
:15:20. > :15:25.week up. The deal is seen by many to see a step forward for the
:15:25. > :15:33.country. There are questions about whether Ireland or Portugal will
:15:33. > :15:36.need second bail-outs? We report It has been a massive challenge,
:15:36. > :15:40.trying to end the crisis in the eurozone. Late yesterday, the
:15:40. > :15:45.European leaders came up with a major deal to help Greece. But
:15:45. > :15:49.markets today seemed impressed, but with reservations. In Greece, which
:15:49. > :15:54.is struggling with huge debt, the government said the new bail-out
:15:54. > :15:58.has made their debt problem much more. The agreed Cabinet gave Prime
:15:58. > :16:03.Minister George Papandreou around of applause when he arrived back
:16:03. > :16:06.from Brussels -- the Greek cabinet. We were on the edge of an abyss,
:16:06. > :16:09.the Prime Minister told them, but we did not give up. We fought, just
:16:10. > :16:17.as we had done in the past, during every critical moment in our
:16:17. > :16:20.history. The size of the new bail- out, 109 billion euros. The
:16:20. > :16:25.interest rates on crease's loans will be cut. Private investors will
:16:25. > :16:28.take some losses, so reducing Greece's debts, and there will be
:16:28. > :16:33.new powers to help banks and countries in the future. The big
:16:33. > :16:38.question is whether these measures will significantly reduce Greece's
:16:38. > :16:43.debts and doubts remain. The Germans, who will be the biggest
:16:43. > :16:48.contributors, were anxiously eyeing the markets today. The bail-out was
:16:48. > :16:51.defended by Chancellor Angela Merkel. TRANSLATION: We made this
:16:51. > :16:56.decision yesterday because it is our historical duty to protect the
:16:56. > :17:02.euro. The UK is not directly involved in this latest eurozone
:17:02. > :17:05.rescue, but the government praised it as decisive. It is in Britain's
:17:05. > :17:10.interests for the eurozone to sort out its issues. It has got some
:17:10. > :17:14.real problems, real issues, and we want a strong, effective eurozone.
:17:14. > :17:17.This deal edges Europe towards a closer economic union and some
:17:18. > :17:23.believe there will have implications for Britain. There is
:17:23. > :17:27.a real dysfunctional European Union. It is a failed project and however
:17:27. > :17:32.important it is to stabilise the markets, we must keep ourselves out
:17:33. > :17:38.of the whole of the eurozone. believe that this latest agreement
:17:38. > :17:44.has bought the eurozone some time. What it hasn't done his fix its
:17:44. > :17:49.underlying problems. Over the last five months, battles
:17:49. > :17:54.have been fought right across Libya, with government and rebel forces
:17:54. > :17:57.gaining and losing territory on a number of fronts. Still the battle
:17:57. > :18:06.is deadlocked and Colonel Gaddafi remains in power weeks after the
:18:06. > :18:11.uprising and NATO's actions against him began.
:18:11. > :18:16.The drums of war have been beating for five months. There is a deadly
:18:16. > :18:23.monotonous rhythm to this battle, a war of attrition that frustrates
:18:23. > :18:27.the optimism the NATO commands. This was a Zlitan, the new front
:18:27. > :18:32.line to the west of Misrata, filled with thousands of Colonel Gaddafi's
:18:32. > :18:36.most loyal supporters. Bussed in from miles around, ready to be cast
:18:36. > :18:45.-- ready to bestow on their elusive leader the image of rock star
:18:45. > :18:48.status. With his government teetering, Colonel Gaddafi is
:18:48. > :18:53.organising the tribes who stand by him. Gathering the loyalties that
:18:53. > :18:57.have kept him in power these 41 years. The dogged resistance of the
:18:58. > :19:02.rebels is matched on this side by the almost evangelical fervour of
:19:02. > :19:06.people who can't imagine any other leader. Muammar is the love of
:19:06. > :19:12.millions, is the message on her hands. In the past week we have

:19:28. > :19:32.strategically important to any financed -- final assault on the
:19:32. > :19:36.capital. The colonel retains control was the message, the rebels
:19:36. > :19:46.are outnumbered, it is a message for domestic consumption as much as
:19:46. > :19:51.
:19:51. > :19:54.Colonel Gaddafi believes he can finesse this situation. If Keith --
:19:54. > :19:57.if he can withstand the bombing, while showing the world this kind
:19:57. > :20:00.of fervent support, then maybe public opinion in the West will
:20:00. > :20:04.start to turn against this war. But appear on the rooftop there are
:20:04. > :20:08.plenty of props are reminders there is significant opposition in this
:20:08. > :20:16.town. It was a frontline position and the rebels believe it will be
:20:16. > :20:25.again. In fact the carnival in the Square did little to mask the
:20:25. > :20:27.tensions around at. -- around it. If propaganda has become the
:20:27. > :20:33.government's principal weapon in this war, then this is the man who
