:00:10. > :00:13.This is BBC World News Today with me Tim Willcox. What provoked this
:00:13. > :00:22.man, Nordine Amrani, to carry out his bloody gun and grenade rampaged

:01:04. > :01:09.with Islamist parties battling it out for dominance in Parliament.
:01:09. > :01:12.What will this mean for the country?
:01:12. > :01:15.And, 100 years to the day since he became the first person to reach
:01:15. > :01:25.the South Pole. Celebrations there in honour of the Norwegian explorer
:01:25. > :01:31.
:01:31. > :01:34.Hello and welcome. He was a convicted criminal with convictions
:01:34. > :01:37.for drugs and arms offences, and today questions are being asked in
:01:37. > :01:43.Belgium about how 33-year-old Nordine Amrani was able to obtain
:01:43. > :01:46.more weapons to carry at yesterday's deadly attack in Liege.
:01:46. > :01:51.Granted early release last year, Amrani attacked a busy square with
:01:51. > :01:55.grenades and gunfire. Among those killed was an 18 month-old toddler.
:01:55. > :01:59.More than 120 people were injured. He then turned the gun on himself.
:01:59. > :02:07.The body of a female cleaner with a bullet wound to the head was later
:02:07. > :02:13.found in his garage. You are looking at the killer of Liege.
:02:13. > :02:17.Nordine Amrani. A gun fanatic, now turned mass-murderer. Here, they
:02:17. > :02:24.will never forget the day he entered their world. The day he
:02:24. > :02:27.ended several lives and ruined dozens more. John Michell is one of
:02:27. > :02:34.many school children caught up in the attack. He was shot in the hip.
:02:35. > :02:41.His friend was killed. TRANSLATION everybody ran. Everybody was
:02:41. > :02:46.panicking. I heard gunshots. I felt. I had been hit, but I managed to
:02:46. > :02:50.get onto the bus. These were the scenes moments after one of
:02:50. > :02:56.Amrani's grenades had exploded. At least one teenager died on the spot.
:02:56. > :02:59.More than 120 people were injured. This is the vantage point that,
:02:59. > :03:03.just 24 hours ago, Nordine Amrani chose for himself. He would have
:03:03. > :03:08.known that he had the potential to kill and injure vast numbers of
:03:08. > :03:12.people. He threw three grenades do was the bus shelters, and then
:03:12. > :03:18.started firing upon the crowds below. And then, just up there, the
:03:18. > :03:22.police say he shot himself. His killing spree had started even
:03:22. > :03:28.earlier. Today, the police said they had found the body of a
:03:28. > :03:32.cleaner in Amrani's garage. He had shot her. Up the road, his home,
:03:32. > :03:38.with a string of weapons, drug and sex offences - the police knew him
:03:38. > :03:42.well. The bullet scars now are a source of fascination and horror.
:03:42. > :03:47.The glass will be repaired, the buses are moving again. Life goes
:03:47. > :03:51.on. But not for 17 month-old Gabriel. His mother heard a bang
:03:51. > :03:56.saw his eyes rolled back in his head. I wish I had died instead of
:03:56. > :03:58.him, she said. Joining me now via Skype is
:03:58. > :04:05.professor of psychology at the University of Huddersfield, David
:04:05. > :04:09.Canter. A convicted criminal with gun and
:04:09. > :04:13.drugs convictions. Should the warning signs have been read, or
:04:13. > :04:18.were they impossible to read? think the warning signs should have
:04:18. > :04:22.been read. It is very unusual in this sort of killing spree for them
:04:22. > :04:28.not to be some earlier indications that the individual was building up
:04:28. > :04:34.for himself some sort of idea or plan, or had some sort of deep
:04:34. > :04:39.revenge or hatred that he was going to try and act out. It was executed
:04:39. > :04:43.very methodically, very calmly. There are reports now that he was
:04:43. > :04:49.frightened about being returned to prison. Is that normally a time
:04:49. > :04:59.when social services would step in to gauge what sort of risk they
:04:59. > :05:00.
:05:00. > :05:06.offered? Well, there would be many indicators that various authorities
:05:06. > :05:10.would have been alert to, but perhaps not acted on. Be details
:05:10. > :05:14.will emerge over the next few days and weeks of exactly what was going
:05:14. > :05:19.on in the background. The fact that a body has now been found of
:05:19. > :05:23.somebody he seems to have shot earlier on is an indication that he
:05:24. > :05:28.was going out on a path - he was developing some sort of plot for
:05:28. > :05:33.himself of what he was going to do, and that first killing was the
:05:33. > :05:39.starting point for him. And this, of course, is different from a
:05:39. > :05:43.moment of madness were somebody just cracks. Very different. This
:05:43. > :05:47.individual, as we find in many other cases, had been planning this
:05:47. > :05:51.for some time. He had amassed an Arsenal with which to carry out
:05:51. > :05:54.these attacks. Why would anyone keep grenades? Not for any
:05:54. > :05:59.recreational use - this was a person who had clearly thought a
:05:59. > :06:04.lot about what he was going to do. Without doubt, people will find
:06:04. > :06:07.some indication in his personal possessions, on the internet, some
:06:07. > :06:14.indication that he had been thinking of doing this for some
:06:14. > :06:21.time. He had been released early on parole. How difficult is it to spot
:06:21. > :06:24.any of these warning signs? It is difficult to decide which warning
:06:24. > :06:28.signs need to be taken seriously because there are so many different
:06:28. > :06:33.sorts of warning signs, and so many individuals who are likely to
:06:33. > :06:40.exhibit them. And also, any free society, what can you do about it
:06:40. > :06:44.if a person is, under the law, allowed to be out on parole?
:06:44. > :06:48.Clearly, it's the sort of weaponry he had amassed was something that
:06:48. > :06:52.people should have looked at very closely.
:06:52. > :06:55.Thank you for joining us on the programme. Now a look at some of
:06:55. > :06:57.the day's other news. The Chinese authorities have sealed off roads
:06:58. > :07:00.into a village in the southern province of Guangdong where land
:07:00. > :07:03.rights protests have intensified after the death of a villager in
:07:03. > :07:07.police custody. Residents of Wukan said most food supplies had been
:07:07. > :07:10.blocked. Villagers accuse local officials of illegal land grabs.
:07:10. > :07:14.The Pakistani president, Asif Ali Zardari is to be discharged from
:07:14. > :07:17.hospital in Dubai in the next 24 hours. He had been admitted last
:07:17. > :07:26.week because of a heart problem. So far, officials have refused to say
:07:26. > :07:30.when Mr Zardari will be returning to Pakistan.
:07:30. > :07:35.At least 48 people have died in the Indian state of West Bengal after
:07:35. > :07:39.drinking contaminated illegally brewed liquor. More than 100 others
:07:39. > :07:43.are being treated in hospital in Calcutta, many in a critical
:07:43. > :07:47.condition. Death from contaminated alcohol is relatively common in
:07:47. > :07:51.India. President Obama has been welcoming
:07:51. > :07:55.home of some of the last US troops to a return home from Iraq.
:07:55. > :07:58.Speaking at Fort Bragg in North Carolina he described it as an
:07:58. > :08:00.historic moment and praised the soldiers' courage and
:08:00. > :08:07.professionalism in a war that he said had paid a heavy price in
:08:07. > :08:11.Death And When Did. Barack Obama never wanted this war.
:08:11. > :08:17.As a state senator he called it dumb, but as Commander In Chief,
:08:17. > :08:24.today he paid tribute to his troops. All the fighting and all the dying,
:08:24. > :08:30.the bleeding and the building and the training, all of it has led to
:08:30. > :08:36.this moment of success. Iraq is not a perfect place, but we are leaving
:08:36. > :08:41.the FA -- behind a more stable and self-reliant Iraq. It was almost a
:08:41. > :08:44.victory lap, if only because as President help Karen --
:08:44. > :08:48.Presidential candidate he promised to bring all the troops home.
:08:48. > :08:53.Unlike President Bush, though, he kept it low key and there was no
:08:53. > :08:58.mission accomplished. What has started with shock and awe and a
:08:58. > :09:04.quick invasion turned into a long, costly and divisive war with its
:09:04. > :09:13.defining moments. The brief euphoria, the demise of a dictator,
:09:13. > :09:16.the scandal of the prison. The war changed Iraq and America. 4,500
:09:17. > :09:22.American troops killed in nine years of fighting. More than
:09:22. > :09:27.100,000 Iraqi civilians dead. The violence continues to kill every
:09:27. > :09:31.day still in Iraq. One trillion dollars later, the last of
:09:31. > :09:35.America's military hardware is being shipped out. All the troops
:09:35. > :09:41.will be reunited with their families for Christmas. They leave
:09:41. > :09:46.behind considerable challenges. Iraqis will be tested without US
:09:46. > :09:51.troops. Will they rise to the occasion? Will the politicians
:09:51. > :09:56.operate against a common threat? Iraq's Prime Minister has close
:09:56. > :10:03.ties with Iran, America's foe. But at the White House this week, he
:10:03. > :10:07.assured President Obama he did want a post-war partnership with the US.
:10:07. > :10:12.Pardoning for regional security, just as Iraq has pledged not to
:10:12. > :10:15.interfere in other nations, other nations must not interfere in Iraq.
:10:15. > :10:20.Iraq's sovereignty must be respected. The future looks
:10:20. > :10:27.uncertain, but for a moment, the two leaders reflected on their
:10:27. > :10:31.country's shed painful past. America's war in Iraq may be ending
:10:31. > :10:35.in a few days, but soldiers will continue to be buried in this
:10:35. > :10:40.cemetery. Killed in combat in Afghanistan. It is often referred
:10:40. > :10:50.to these days as Obama's war, and that, too, is a conflict where
:10:50. > :10:50.
:10:50. > :10:53.success has been hard to define, and victory remains elusive.
:10:53. > :10:56.With the euro plummeting on the currency markets, German Chancellor
:10:56. > :11:02.Angela Merkel is insisting that Europe will not only master the
:11:03. > :11:06.financial crisis, but will end up stronger and more stable. Meanwhile,
:11:06. > :11:12.Britain is grappling with a rising unemployment rate. Figures show a
:11:12. > :11:18.rise of 128,000, making a total number of 2.64 million people out
:11:18. > :11:22.of work. Of that, the number of young people, those aged 16 to 24,
:11:22. > :11:28.rose to just over a million - the highest figure since records began
:11:28. > :11:32.in 1992. I'm joined now by Hugh Pym. Some pretty awful figures. Just
:11:32. > :11:37.looking at Britain - is this an indication that perhaps we us --
:11:37. > :11:41.are heading back into the the way it works in the labour market,
:11:41. > :11:46.generally the figures that you mentioned today, and any other
:11:46. > :11:51.period, lack behind output. We had a growing jobs market up until
:11:51. > :11:54.earlier this week, as the UK appeared to be recovering. That was
:11:54. > :11:58.reflected in activity last year. But slowing activity since the
:11:58. > :12:02.spring is reflected in these figures. Given that everyone is
:12:02. > :12:05.expecting a flat economic output situation this quarter, and may be
:12:05. > :12:10.slightly negative, it could well get worse from here. That is based
:12:10. > :12:13.on the fact that the Eurozone holds together. If there is a real crisis
:12:13. > :12:18.in the Eurozone hit in the UK that could make figures even worse.
:12:18. > :12:23.is striking in the Eurozone is the number of young people out of work.
:12:23. > :12:27.That is right across the sector, isn't it? Yes, indeed. Youth
:12:27. > :12:32.unemployment is experienced in most industrialised countries. It is a
:12:32. > :12:35.big problem in Spain, for example. It is a number of factors -
:12:35. > :12:39.everyone has had to grapple with the growth challenge. It is not
:12:39. > :12:43.just the UK. There is a demographic issue of people wanting to work for
:12:43. > :12:46.longer, and therefore fewer jobs being created for young people. It
:12:46. > :12:51.is a major international problem, particularly for industrialised
:12:51. > :12:56.nations. And it does lead to social problems later on, a lost
:12:56. > :13:00.generation. What about the private sector picking up the slack? It has
:13:00. > :13:03.been a big debate in the UK, will the private sector create enough
:13:03. > :13:07.jobs to compensate for cuts in the private sector -- public sector
:13:07. > :13:10.because of the austerity programme? It is deficit reduction which does
:13:10. > :13:15.involve numbers and the public sector coming down. Until earlier
:13:15. > :13:19.this year, the Chancellor of the Exchequer could save the private
:13:19. > :13:23.sector was doing more than enough to compensate. Not any more. The
:13:23. > :13:27.latest quarter until September, more than 60,000 job cuts in the
:13:27. > :13:34.public sector and only 5,000 created in the private sector. It
:13:34. > :13:39.is the same year on deer as well. - - year on year. So looking at more
:13:39. > :13:43.job cuts, these figures are probably going to get worse? Yes.
:13:43. > :13:46.The Government's official forecast at the Office for Budget
:13:46. > :13:51.Responsibility in the UK is forecasting the unemployment rate
:13:51. > :13:56.goes up to 8.7%, a couple of 100,000 extra. Almost every
:13:56. > :13:58.commentator agrees with that. Since the figure moved up from 2.64
:13:58. > :14:03.million closer to the 3 million figure, which will be politically
:14:03. > :14:06.very awkward. That is based on some growth in the UK. If the
:14:06. > :14:11.international picture changes dramatically, it could be worse.
:14:11. > :14:15.This is not a UK specific problem. UK unemployment is below France and
:14:15. > :14:18.the UK -- US. It is a major challenge for the British
:14:18. > :14:28.government, as indeed for every government in industrialised
:14:28. > :14:32.Egyptians have been voting in the second round of elections to a new
:14:32. > :14:36.Parliament, the first since President Hosni Mubarak was toppled
:14:36. > :14:39.in February. It is already clear that is almost
:14:39. > :14:43.parties have probably won enough support at the ballot box to be the
:14:43. > :14:46.largest single force in the new Parliament. So a new battle is
:14:46. > :14:50.developing between the Muslim Brotherhood, who are putting
:14:50. > :14:55.themselves forward as moderate and pragmatic, and the more hardline
:14:55. > :15:00.Salafist, who have strict views on banning alcohol and segregating men
:15:00. > :15:04.and women in some public places. They have stepped up campaigning
:15:04. > :15:08.after their success in the first round of elections. And now voting
:15:08. > :15:14.has moved to the Nile delta, fertile territory for their blend
:15:14. > :15:18.of religion and politics. This area is a classics Islamist stronghold.
:15:18. > :15:23.They are expecting a clean sweep in the elections. So the real battle
:15:23. > :15:31.is between two competing versions of Islamism. The old fashioned
:15:32. > :15:40.Muslim Brotherhood horror that hardline Saleh fists. In their
:15:40. > :15:48.increasingly slick campaign, the seller fists emphasise their
:15:48. > :15:55.beliefs. Egypt's liberals might be horrified but not here in the
:15:55. > :16:00.villages. We found the message is selling well. The candidate tells
:16:00. > :16:03.us his appeal is less about the implementation of Sharia law, more
:16:03. > :16:11.about the contrast with years of corruption and cronyism.
:16:11. > :16:15.TRANSLATION: We are honest. We're not hypocrites. We are not liars.
:16:16. > :16:21.We just tell people what we believe. And for these women, ideology seems
:16:21. > :16:26.the least of their concerns. TRANSLATION: We will call for you.
:16:26. > :16:35.But you must deliver more services to this area. What we really need
:16:35. > :16:40.is a storehouse for her cooking gas canisters. At their rallies, the
:16:40. > :16:44.Muslim Brotherhood are putting themselves forward as the moderate,
:16:44. > :16:50.pragmatic choice. The personal freedom of everybody is the core of
:16:50. > :16:58.our programme. Our intention is to try and spread the values in
:16:58. > :17:02.society by pursues thing -- by giving a good moderate line. The
:17:02. > :17:07.movement feared and demonised by Egyptian liberals could soon be
:17:07. > :17:16.working with them to keep with more and comprising a Islamists from
:17:16. > :17:19.power. Joining us is Dr Omar are sure.
:17:20. > :17:24.Looking at the report and the Salafist movement, how moderate do
:17:24. > :17:31.they make you Muslim Brotherhood look? They make them look quite
:17:31. > :17:38.moderate. The Muslim Brothers -- brotherhood are looking at checking
:17:38. > :17:42.the security services. Morale as looking for a powerful Parliament
:17:42. > :17:48.and not they are interested in polarising the society by imposing
:17:48. > :17:53.a Conservative agenda. This is how the Muslim Brothers won the world
:17:53. > :17:59.to perceive it, as putting a check on the more extreme versions and
:17:59. > :18:03.interpretations of Islam. Is there some surprise for the support for
:18:03. > :18:07.the sell-off this movement? Was there to change could that mean for
:18:07. > :18:12.Egypt in terms of tourism and its relations with its immediate
:18:12. > :18:19.neighbours? They have quite an elaborate move -- programme. They
:18:19. > :18:24.said they would support specific types of tourism, like to watch the
:18:24. > :18:29.monuments and the health tourism. They are not keen on supporting the
:18:29. > :18:39.beach tourism or there isn't a lot of debate about how they will
:18:39. > :18:40.
:18:40. > :18:44.enforce an Islamic court first see where. No bikinis and no alcohol?
:18:44. > :18:54.No bikinis and no alcohol. And what would it mean for religious
:18:54. > :18:55.
:18:55. > :18:59.tolerance in the country? There is a lot of fears. I think the
:18:59. > :19:04.critical issue is the balance of power in the street and how this
:19:04. > :19:14.will work. The Saleh fists of they have full power, they will be able
:19:14. > :19:16.
:19:16. > :19:24.to put out extreme policies. They do not want to see how mass like
:19:24. > :19:28.situation between the clash between the east and west like in Gaza. The
:19:28. > :19:33.junior Liberals and the Muslim Brothers who want to betray itself
:19:33. > :19:39.as the moderate alternative and tried to avoid it being linked to
:19:39. > :19:43.the sophists. Is there a pragmatic element with than the sulphurs
:19:43. > :19:51.movement as well. If they pushed too hard, the backlash could do
:19:51. > :19:55.them damage. This is a pragmatic group. Pragmatism is engraved in
:19:55. > :20:03.the ideologist. They supported Mubarak until the last days of his
:20:04. > :20:07.power. Many of them changed their political views, depending on what

:25:04. > :25:09.as the race. So their aim was to get there and to get back safely
:25:09. > :25:14.and with the least possible trouble. For Captain Scott, in terms of food
:25:14. > :25:19.supplies and other things, was that a classic case of some would say
:25:19. > :25:28.the British amateur approach to something like this? Absolutely.
:25:28. > :25:34.Because Roald Amundsen took great care to work with enormous margins
:25:34. > :25:42.of safety. I have tried working it out and I stopped at around five or
:25:42. > :25:50.600%. Obviously, captain Scott got further from base but it was never
:25:50. > :26:00.less than 30%. Captain Scott had no margin of safety at all which is
