:00:21. > :00:21.by the so-called Islamic State group.
:00:22. > :00:24.But on the streets of Philadelphia, a policeman is shot by a man
:00:25. > :00:30.pledging allegiance to the militants.
:00:31. > :00:38.You can see the man in question going towards a police officer
:00:39. > :00:39.Hartnett, already firing. Second shot, he is literally inside that
:00:40. > :00:41.car. The city of Cologne's police chief
:00:42. > :00:44.Wolfgang Albers is suspended as anger mounts over the New Year's
:00:45. > :01:00.Eve mass sexual assaults. Two armed men attacked tourists in

:01:08. > :01:10.recaptured. And America's biggest lottery jackpot is up for grabs. One
:01:11. > :01:40.ticket could win you $800 million. The White House has announced a new
:01:41. > :01:46.task force to tackle propaganda from Islamic State. It comes just days
:01:47. > :01:52.after a man was attacked by a man pledging allegiance to Islamic
:01:53. > :01:57.State. He fired at the police officer leaving Jesse Hartnett badly
:01:58. > :02:01.wounded. He said he carried out the attack in the name of Islam. It was
:02:02. > :02:09.said that the injured officer was lucky to survive.
:02:10. > :02:11.This is absolutely one of the scariest things
:02:12. > :02:15.I mean this guy tried to execute the police officer.
:02:16. > :02:17.The police officer had no idea he was coming.
:02:18. > :02:30.Let's get more from our reporter. Police convinced that this shooting
:02:31. > :02:34.was linked to Islamic State? They have said that the gunmen involved,
:02:35. > :02:39.Edward Archer, said that he pledged allegiance to Islamic State and
:02:40. > :02:45.carried out the attack, in the words of the Police Commissioner, he said
:02:46. > :02:51.it was carried out in the name of Islam. When it first happened, at
:02:52. > :02:55.11:30pm in West Philadelphia, the initial talk was all about gun
:02:56. > :03:02.control. We have heard a lot about that in the past few weeks. It has
:03:03. > :03:07.been a hot topic for many years. One big element in the recent
:03:08. > :03:10.announcements in gun control were concerns about mental health. There
:03:11. > :03:16.was some indication that mental health may be part of the issue in
:03:17. > :03:20.this case. But extraordinary stills released by police. The gunmen
:03:21. > :03:24.approaching a patrol vehicle with a policeman inside with his hands held
:03:25. > :03:28.out in front of him, the gun pointing at the officer. So that in
:03:29. > :03:32.the end, the hands of the attacker and the gun were inside the car
:03:33. > :03:38.itself, when the shots were being fired. Amazing that the police
:03:39. > :03:44.officer in this case survive. But as you said in your introduction, it
:03:45. > :03:49.comes just as the White House is announcing the new measures to
:03:50. > :03:54.counter violent extremism. And the FBI also involved in the
:03:55. > :04:00.investigation into this Philadelphia shooting as they were with San
:04:01. > :04:03.Bernardino? Yes, indeed. But what the White House is trying to do is
:04:04. > :04:11.bring together the different agencies. They have been frustrated
:04:12. > :04:16.that the various agencies, the abilities of the various agencies to
:04:17. > :04:22.counter Islamic State. To counter it disability to influence others. In
:04:23. > :04:27.this case, without that this man apparently pledged allegiance to
:04:28. > :04:33.Islamic State. The idea of this group that is being formed by the
:04:34. > :04:39.government is to stop people being inspired online, to counter the
:04:40. > :04:44.online offsets of -- efforts of Islamic State to inspire people.
:04:45. > :04:48.Both in America and elsewhere. The police say that this man was acting
:04:49. > :04:54.alone, it was not a group effort carrying out this ambush, this
:04:55. > :04:57.apparently unprovoked ambush in Philadelphia. But the idea is to
:04:58. > :05:03.stop others being influenced in the same way. Thank you very much.
:05:04. > :05:05.Two suspected militants have stabbed and wounded tourists in Egypt.
:05:06. > :05:13.It happened at a hotel in the Red Sea resort of Hughada.
:05:14. > :05:16.At least two people are reported to have been injured,
:05:17. > :05:19.Egyptian security forces have mounted a security operation,
:05:20. > :05:22.with reports that they have killed at least one of the attackers.
:05:23. > :05:35.Many miles from where this happened, but talk through events as police
:05:36. > :05:39.are describing it at the moment? What we understand so far from
:05:40. > :05:44.medical and security forces is that three tourists were stabbed, but
:05:45. > :05:49.their wounds are not serious. They are in a stable condition. There
:05:50. > :05:54.were two attackers who stormed a 4-star hotel in Hurghada. They were
:05:55. > :05:58.aiming to kidnap tourists but security forces managed to foil this
:05:59. > :06:04.attack and they killed the two assailants. One of them was wearing
:06:05. > :06:08.an explosive belt as we knew from local security sources. We
:06:09. > :06:13.understand that the city is on high alert. The area around the hotel has
:06:14. > :06:18.been cordoned off. Stores and shops in the city centre have been shut
:06:19. > :06:24.down. All the roads leading in and out of Hurghada have been closed
:06:25. > :06:30.down and police officers are scanning the area for more
:06:31. > :06:34.attackers. So the tourist wounded and these assailants been killed.
:06:35. > :06:40.Another blow for the Egyptian tourism industry? Definitely. The
:06:41. > :06:46.tourism industry is still reeling from the crash of the Russian plane
:06:47. > :06:52.in another famous Red Sea resort last November. This attack today
:06:53. > :06:57.comes really to give a hard blow to the same sector. Tourism is vital to
:06:58. > :07:02.the Egyptian economy. It is a lifeline. It is already struggling.
:07:03. > :07:10.The number of tourists has decreased a great deal since the plane crash.
:07:11. > :07:14.So now, we don't know how much of an influence this attack is going to
:07:15. > :07:18.have on the tourism sector in the country. Thank you very much.
:07:19. > :07:21.Activists in Syria say a member of so-called Islamic State publicly
:07:22. > :07:23.executed his own mother after she'd been sentenced to death

:09:05. > :09:10.TRANSLATION: I believe these were new refugees because people

:09:54. > :09:56.Today in Cologne, city authorities pledged to build trust

:10:20. > :10:24.a spate of sexual attacks during New Year's Eve.
:10:25. > :10:26.I've been speaking to Ilkka Koskimaki who is the deputy
:10:27. > :10:31.Police Commissioner of the Finnish capital Helsinki.
:10:32. > :10:38.We had a problem in Helsinki. It is true that some incidents were
:10:39. > :10:46.committed by asylum seekers on New Year's Eve. And we had also a
:10:47. > :10:52.background, last autumn, we had a loss of this kind of sexual
:10:53. > :11:04.harassment in Helsinki and we even had some aggravated rape cases
:11:05. > :11:09.committed by asylum seekers. So the people who have been charged or
:11:10. > :11:19.arrested in connection with these crimes, you can categorically say
:11:20. > :11:32.work -- were asylum seekers? Yes, I can say that the suspects were Iraqi
:11:33. > :11:38.and they selected weekly tins, like intoxicated ladies, and young
:11:39. > :11:43.ladies. Briefly, you had information about this, didn't you? And you put
:11:44. > :11:48.up extra police on the street. Tell us how that information came about?
:11:49. > :11:56.We got the information from reception centres and we had also
:11:57. > :12:05.other information as well. That they were planning this? Yes. Our
:12:06. > :12:10.information was that some asylum seekers were in the city centre and
:12:11. > :12:15.they were planning some disturbances and even this kind of crime. He was
:12:16. > :12:34.speaking to me earlier. South Korea say that North Korea has
:12:35. > :12:43.begun hostile broadcasts. It comes soon after North -- South Korea
:12:44. > :13:06.began its own noisy broadcasts. Rupert Wingfield Hayes reports.
:13:07. > :13:12.We are here near the border and never North Korea wants to retaliate
:13:13. > :13:21.against some perceived slight, we get this. If Sir -- North Korea
:13:22. > :13:23.starts lobbing shells, this is where the fob relation would come. This is
:13:24. > :13:41.a very thick and heavy door. They can stay here for several days
:13:42. > :13:46.at a time. There is a filtered air system and an escape hatch at the
:13:47. > :13:50.top of that ladder there. There is a conditioning. This place gets used,
:13:51. > :13:54.and was last used back in August when a shell from the North fell
:13:55. > :14:03.into the village here and about 70 or 80 people spent a few days living
:14:04. > :14:07.down here. This is one of the stories you can see -- some of the
:14:08. > :14:15.stalls. You can see bottled water, gas masks up for up to 100 people.
:14:16. > :14:26.In case there was a gas attack. And there is another room in
:14:27. > :14:33.here and there is a generator. This is how people in along the borders
:14:34. > :14:38.live here every day. The threat is real and it has happened a number of
:14:39. > :14:41.times in the past. With the propaganda broadcasts beginning
:14:42. > :14:45.again today, the fear is that North Korea will retaliate and if they do,
:14:46. > :14:47.the people in these villages were left get down into the shelters as
:14:48. > :14:52.soon as they can. The Mexican President,
:14:53. > :14:54.Enrique Pena Nieto says the country's most notorious
:14:55. > :14:55.druglord, Joaquim Guzman, known as "el Chapo"
:14:56. > :15:18.has been recaptured. Here is the latest from Katie
:15:19. > :15:27.Watson. Is this Radio 1 in which they captured Joaquim Guzman?
:15:28. > :15:33.They're having pictures showing him in handcuffs as well as the transfer
:15:34. > :15:37.to a helicopter. It has been a humiliating six months for the
:15:38. > :15:42.government when they let Mexico's most wanted criminal out of jail
:15:43. > :15:49.again. He is a man who was apparently worth $1 billion and has
:15:50. > :15:55.been running the cartel from inside prison, is that what the authorities
:15:56. > :16:06.have been thinking? Well, the cartel is one of the strongest in Mexico.
:16:07. > :16:14.He has a multi-million dollar empire with drugs entering the US. And he
:16:15. > :16:23.is in control of the cartel and him being locked up made not much to
:16:24. > :16:25.much difference. So he is now arrested again. The president will
:16:26. > :16:32.no doubt be showing off the fact that he has arrested Joaquim Guzman.
:16:33. > :16:40.But it was over a year ago that that he said it would be on think of all
:16:41. > :16:45.that Joaquim Guzman would escape again after being captured. But he
:16:46. > :16:52.got away again. Briefly, Katie, it was the most audacious escape?
:16:53. > :16:56.Absolutely. He disappeared in a tunnel that when from the shower
:16:57. > :17:00.cubicle in his prison cell to a house on the other side of the
:17:01. > :17:10.prison wall. And the amount of manpower needed to build that tunnel
:17:11. > :17:18.is such that nobody can understand how that could have happened without
:17:19. > :17:25.occlusion of the authorities inside. So we wait to see how secure way
:17:26. > :17:28.he's going will be this time. A mini motorbike got out of the safe house.
