:03:11. > :03:13.terribly and they feel more Tourism, vital to the country's
:03:14. > :03:16.economy, will take a hit, but those we met say
:03:17. > :03:20.they are determined to stay. I am proud a lot of people
:03:21. > :03:23.are showing up and showing solidarity, because if people start
:03:24. > :03:28.to panic and not to visit Turkey, Tonight, the area is still closed
:03:29. > :03:34.off, Turkey on the highest alert. One of the world's great cities
:03:35. > :03:57.now feels vulnerable. Lets talk to Mark live in Istanbul.
:03:58. > :04:01.How much of a shock has this been? It has been a shock even know for
:04:02. > :04:09.many weeks, people had said they thought there would be a big attack.
:04:10. > :04:14.A lapse on the Metro system, and as Turkey has been drawn more into the
:04:15. > :04:18.anti-Islamic state coalition, and is an active member having been
:04:19. > :04:26.reluctant member, it is very exposed. Added to that, there is
:04:27. > :04:33.growing violence with the PKK Turkish militants and attacks from
:04:34. > :04:37.the home-grown, so Turkey doesn't feel particularly unsafe but there's
:04:38. > :04:43.a feeling of insecurity in some parts and people are worried about
:04:44. > :04:49.security issues that is going to have a big impact for Turks in their
:04:50. > :04:54.daily life but also for tourism. 12 million came here last year and
:04:55. > :04:57.there is a growing reputation of the city of having security problems,
:04:58. > :05:04.that is going to be a very serious problem. And the scenes in such a
:05:05. > :05:15.famous part of Istanbul's old city, this was really a targeted place to
:05:16. > :05:21.hit? Very much so, but one note of solace is this, that on Tuesdays,
:05:22. > :05:29.some of the sites around here are close, so there are worth fewer
:05:30. > :05:34.people in this area. Than on some of the other days, so that is why the
:05:35. > :05:41.numbers of those killed was actually lower than it could have been. Still
:05:42. > :05:46.devastating consequences, at least ten killed, but had it happened on
:05:47. > :05:51.another day, potentially it could have been even more full of
:05:52. > :05:57.tourists. That is the one little bit of comfort Turkey will draw from
:05:58. > :06:02.this, but clearly a very serious attack in the heart of the old city
:06:03. > :06:08.of Istanbul. That will have very big consequences for how Turkey responds
:06:09. > :06:15.to the security threat and how the clamp-down evermore on Islamic
:06:16. > :06:19.state. It has spoken clearly against IS today, saying they will not draw
:06:20. > :06:22.back, and the attack today will reinforce them.
:06:23. > :06:24.The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has expressed her
:06:25. > :06:26.sympathies for the victims of the Istanbul bombing
:06:27. > :06:28.and their families, and promised Germany would continue
:06:29. > :06:48.Today, it was stunned the law. Before that, Paris, Copenhagen,
:06:49. > :06:54.Tunis and many other places. The goal is always the same, it is our
:06:55. > :06:58.free life and free communities. The terrorists are enemies of all free
:06:59. > :07:06.people. Yes, enemies of all humanity, whether Syria, Turkey or
:07:07. > :07:08.in Germany, but this freedom and our resolve to fight these terrorists
:07:09. > :07:18.with our international partners will continue. Thank you for talking to
:07:19. > :07:27.us. How has the news of the last been met? Clearly, it is a human
:07:28. > :07:32.tragedy, we're not quite clear yet how many Germans have died, and the
:07:33. > :07:40.last reports count eight, but several more were severely injured
:07:41. > :07:44.so perhaps that could even rise. A difficult time for Germany with two
:07:45. > :07:53.major issues, the other one being the aftermath of the attacks in
:07:54. > :08:00.Cologne. How much pressure as she under? The pressure is rising and
:08:01. > :08:03.the mood is changing. While has been for months now great support for her
:08:04. > :08:15.attitude towards the refugees, taking in as many as possible,
:08:16. > :08:19.Cologne has... I believe we have lost him. We will try to make
:08:20. > :08:22.contact with him again but sorry about that. Let's move on.
:08:23. > :08:25.The escape for the second time of the Mexican drug trafficker
:08:26. > :08:27.Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman was a huge embarrassment
:08:28. > :08:31.He disappeared down a manmade tunnel leading out from his prison cell
:08:32. > :08:34.But his recapture last week is a source of pride
:08:35. > :08:36.for the authorities and they've not wasted time
:08:37. > :08:40.The marines invited our correspondent Katy Watson on a tour
:08:41. > :08:43.of his last hideout in the seaside town of Los Mochis in north-western
:08:44. > :09:04.This house has danger written all over it. The heavy military presence
:09:05. > :09:09.and also heavy media presence. Everybody wanting a piece of El
:09:10. > :09:14.Chapo and to see what is inside. It's an unbelievable story but
:09:15. > :09:18.inside the house the gunfight between El Chapo's henchmen and the
:09:19. > :09:23.Marines seems very real. The whole house turned upside down. The first
:09:24. > :09:27.thing you see when you come inside is the kitchen that has been turned
:09:28. > :09:35.totally upside down. Cannons that have exploded and bullets in the
:09:36. > :09:40.waltz. If you look there, it is still an active crime scene with
:09:41. > :09:44.blood on the floor. We were told this was an active crime scene but
:09:45. > :09:47.surprisingly we were still free to explore the house. This may have
:09:48. > :09:54.been his bedroom complete with walk-in wardrobe. There's a floor
:09:55. > :09:57.length mirror what they had on board and the Marines didn't spot this
:09:58. > :10:02.straightaway, but it was here that he escaped. Speak to people here and
:10:03. > :10:08.they cannot quite believe he was hiding out here. It's a very quiet
:10:09. > :10:13.part of town and a nice place to live. About six months ago, you
:10:14. > :10:18.could see mounds of earth about a metre and a half height. We never
:10:19. > :10:23.saw people outside and has taken everybody by surprise, that without
:10:24. > :10:29.even knowing, a hugely important person was there. About one
:10:30. > :10:34.kilometre away, a petty ordinarily Junction, but when the marines came
:10:35. > :10:39.and El Chapo escaped, he escaped through the storm drains and came up
:10:40. > :10:44.over there. It is an extraordinary tale and one the government want to
:10:45. > :10:50.tell now that El Chapo is locked up. Every twist and turn is more bizarre
:10:51. > :10:53.than the last. Taking it to obey house that was the scene of a
:10:54. > :10:58.violent stand-off with one of the world's most wanted men adds to the
:10:59. > :10:59.bizarre feeling, and meanwhile neighbours keep watching, fascinated
:11:00. > :11:03.by the media parried. They've being described as the 'best
:11:04. > :11:06.preserved Bronze age dwellings ever Archaeologists in Cambridgeshire
:11:07. > :11:09.in eastern England have discovered the remains of a settlement
:11:10. > :11:11.of circular wooden houses, The site holds clues
:11:12. > :11:14.into what people ate and what clothes they
:11:15. > :11:16.wore 3,000 years ago. Under a giant white tent perched
:11:17. > :11:26.on the Cambridgeshire fens lies an extraordinary Bronze Age Time
:11:27. > :11:33.Capsule, dubbed Britain's's Pompeii. Must Farm is a settlement thought
:11:34. > :11:36.to be 3,000 years old. A dramatic fire destroyed the site
:11:37. > :11:38.and the wooden round houses built on stilts were claimed
:11:39. > :11:41.by the prehistoric waters. The condition of the surviving
:11:42. > :11:43.material is so good archaeologists say it is the best preserved
:11:44. > :11:53.Bronze Age site in Britain. We will be looking at the contents
:11:54. > :11:56.of the pots and tell you what was in them
:11:57. > :11:58.the day it burnt down. We will be able to tell
:11:59. > :12:06.you what they were wearing. We are finding
:12:07. > :12:08.fragments of furniture. I am already building a picture
:12:09. > :12:11.of a society from 3000 years ago that feels like it
:12:12. > :12:12.was just yesterday. The Bronze Age in Britain
:12:13. > :12:15.began in 2500 BC. It came after metalworkers
:12:16. > :12:17.discovered that adding tin to copper produced bronze, which was more hard
:12:18. > :12:26.wearing for tools and weaponry. This is how Must Farm dated
:12:27. > :12:33.towards the end of the era, Collections of huts
:12:34. > :12:38.like these formed settlements although not all of them
:12:39. > :12:41.were built across a river. It was the water here
:12:42. > :12:44.which is partly responsible for the site's good condition,
:12:45. > :12:46.offering a frozen moment in time. Normally when we dig archaeology,
:12:47. > :12:52.we see the decay of a settlement, we see it going out of use
:12:53. > :12:56.and the slow filling of the pictures This is almost like the opportunity
:12:57. > :13:02.to peek through the curtain and see people in the daily moments,
:13:03. > :13:05.and as archaeologists we are all just really nosy
:13:06. > :13:09.and we just want to be able to see What really excites the team is that
:13:10. > :13:14.some things are so well preserved they offer an insight
:13:15. > :13:16.into what domestic life We have got a dagger
:13:17. > :13:24.and then this sword, and then if you take a look here,
:13:25. > :13:28.there are glass beads from some If you just look at these clay pots,
:13:29. > :13:36.they are in such good condition somebody has left
:13:37. > :13:41.their dinner inside! Whether the fire was an accident
:13:42. > :13:44.or an intentional end still remains a mystery, but after 3000 years,
:13:45. > :13:46.the life of our prehistoric President Obama will deliver his
:13:47. > :13:59.seventh and final State of the Union Rajini Vaidyanathan looks back
:14:00. > :14:02.at his previous addresses and what we might
:14:03. > :14:26.expect from this one. I don't think I have been more
:14:27. > :14:33.optimistic than I have been. The road we have travelled in these last
:14:34. > :14:37.seven years. Seven years ago when Barack Obama took office, the
:14:38. > :14:41.country was at the height of a financial crisis when millions lost
:14:42. > :14:47.their homes and jobs, and brought the focus was on lending America's
:14:48. > :14:50.involvement in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Today, things look
:14:51. > :14:55.different and the economy is starting to pick up and gay marriage
:14:56. > :15:00.is legal. The health care system has been reformed and the president
:15:01. > :15:04.faces new challenges. Back then no one talked about Islamic state and
:15:05. > :15:10.the decades-old issues of race in America have only resurfaced.
:15:11. > :15:15.Despite those challenges, the president was upbeat on last year's
:15:16. > :15:19.address. The shadow of crisis has passed and the state of the union is
:15:20. > :15:24.strong. But how strong? Critics point out that the gap between rich
:15:25. > :15:30.and poor has widened. Efforts to bring in a minimum wage has stalled,
:15:31. > :15:34.and they won claims to close Guantanamo Bay have still not
:15:35. > :15:40.materialised. One former adviser says his policies have made a huge
:15:41. > :15:44.impact and mortars to come. I do not think this president will go quietly
:15:45. > :15:47.into the night. I think this state of the union will prove that and if
:15:48. > :15:51.you look at where we are today compared to one year ago, one year
:15:52. > :15:57.ago people said he was dead in the water and he would get nothing done.
:15:58. > :16:00.Pushing change through has a battle. The Democratic party held both
:16:01. > :16:05.houses of Congress when he was elected but now the Republicans do.
:16:06. > :16:10.Getting agreement in areas like immigration and gun control has been
:16:11. > :16:15.tough. In guns, he recently used his presidential authority to bring in
:16:16. > :16:18.some changes but critics said he has governed without compromise. The
:16:19. > :16:22.expectation when he came in was he would build that consensus and that
:16:23. > :16:27.has not been the case and we find ourselves more divided than when we
:16:28. > :16:32.came in. In just over a year's time someone else will be in office so
:16:33. > :16:36.this beach and the months ahead are President Obama's last chance to
:16:37. > :16:40.shape his legacy. White House officials say this will not be a
:16:41. > :16:42.to-do list and will focus on consolidating promises the president
:16:43. > :16:57.has already made. Is this going to be a different kind
:16:58. > :17:01.of state of the union address? That is what he says, that it will not be
:17:02. > :17:05.a wash with the policies that he would like to get enacted but rather
:17:06. > :17:09.he will look at three or four big ideas about where the country is
:17:10. > :17:13.heading. One will be the issue of political polarisation and it is
:17:14. > :17:18.kind of ironic that President Obama was elected back in 2008 on the
:17:19. > :17:21.promise of making Americans less polarised and in fact this is a
:17:22. > :17:27.Congress and White House that is more polarised. I think, than
:17:28. > :17:30.anything I can remember. He has two thread quite carefully between
:17:31. > :17:37.saying I have done a very good job and here is my legacy and remember
:17:38. > :17:41.my successors, and yet understand that many Americans do not feel that
:17:42. > :17:47.way. Many people will be asking how much can be realistically get done
:17:48. > :17:50.in just 12 months? I think very little with Congress which is why I
:17:51. > :17:57.don't think his audience are the people in the room who he is talking
:17:58. > :17:58.to, I think he is talking to the 30 million Americans who will be
:17:59. > :18:03.watching and million Americans who will be
:18:04. > :18:05.of the things he has achieved, the nuclear deal and the bipartisan deal
:18:06. > :18:10.with nuclear deal and the bipartisan deal
:18:11. > :18:13.He is saying, I know polls suggest the lot of Americans feel
:18:14. > :18:17.disgruntled and seven in ten do not leave the country is going in the
:18:18. > :18:23.great direction, but here is what I have achieved. This is about laying
:18:24. > :18:27.the ground for his legacy for future generations. And tell us about the
:18:28. > :18:33.choreography of the night. It is also all about the guests. It is all
:18:34. > :18:39.about the guests who set with the first Lady in the box. There will be
:18:40. > :18:43.a Syrian refugee, an empty cheer for the victims of gun violence, and
:18:44. > :18:50.this has become a tradition of the state of the union, to remind the
:18:51. > :18:52.viewers of the issue is he thinks are important, and it'll be
:18:53. > :18:57.interesting to watch the members of Congress. We have had moments of
:18:58. > :19:03.detente were Republicans and Democrats have sat together but this
:19:04. > :19:07.year they will be firmly divided. The Democrats will applaud at
:19:08. > :19:10.various moments and it'll be interesting to see whether the
:19:11. > :19:13.Republicans are applaud at any moment during the speech and the
:19:14. > :19:17.White House will be watching that too.
:19:18. > :19:33.Now a look at some of the day's other news.

:22:59. > :23:07.actually perpetrate an attack in the heart of Istanbul that targets
:23:08. > :23:10.tourists as well, so we knew that militants had the ability to do this
:23:11. > :23:16.for the past year. They have infiltrated a variety of cities in
:23:17. > :23:19.Turkey, and we have always been advising clients that this is a
:23:20. > :23:23.risk, but the fact they have now chosen to perpetrate an attack is
:23:24. > :23:28.very different to just having the capability, and as you said, you

:23:36. > :23:42.the country, and how worried are Turks for the future of the
:23:43. > :23:50.country's stability? At -- now, they are worried, and not just because of
:23:51. > :23:54.events in eastern cities but also the two attacks that turkey
:23:55. > :23:59.experienced, so this is just a continuation or an intensification
:24:00. > :24:03.of risk and in security that will undoubtedly influence confidence.
:24:04. > :24:08.And what part in mitigating that risk does the role of the government
:24:09. > :24:12.play? We saw today this media blackout but apparently that was
:24:13. > :24:16.nothing new. This has been used before, this sort of tactic. It is
:24:17. > :24:20.only the responsibility of the government to be able to manage
:24:21. > :24:25.these threats and what we are seeing is a pretty big failure of foreign
:24:26. > :24:31.policy on behalf of the government, because we have seen an infiltration
:24:32. > :24:34.through the borders over the last few years of refugees but also
:24:35. > :24:40.militants, and it is not enough to change tactics to increase a
:24:41. > :24:46.crackdown on Isis related militants just in the past few months, and
:24:47. > :24:49.when this kind of change happens, any sympathisers domestically can
:24:50. > :24:55.increase their activity and actually perpetrate attacks, do you think
:24:56. > :25:01.what has happened will change the Turkish government's approach to the
:25:02. > :25:06.rest from Islamic state? This is in part, F actually perpetrated by
:25:07. > :25:11.Isis, in part a reaction to the change in the government stands
:25:12. > :25:15.already. So you think the change already and the pressure has put on,
:25:16. > :25:19.even though many say that is not enough atoll? It seems the reason we
:25:20. > :25:23.are seeing a lot of pressure from abroad is because this is a bit too
:25:24. > :25:27.late coming from the government, and that is because we have seen Turkey
:25:28. > :25:33.wanting to take even more of a stronger stance in what happens in
:25:34. > :25:37.Syria diplomatically and militarily. They also had to crack down
:25:38. > :25:45.domestically on Isis and that of course has changed the game
:25:46. > :25:50.domestically. Thank you very much. And just to remind you, all our
