The headlines: Turkey is rocked by a second suicide-bombing | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
Foreign nationals are among those killed in the attack on the heart | :00:15. | :00:25. | |
The Paris attacks suspect captured in Belgium tells investigators | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
he wanted to blow himself up, but changed his mind. | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
The Salah Abdeslam today told Belgian investigators that he plans | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
to blow himself up but backed out. Russian officials say the passenger | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
plane which crashed killing everyone on board had been trying to land in | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
near hurricane force winds. Also coming up, India beat Pakistan | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
in one of the world's great sporting showdowns at the Twenty | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
20 Cricket World Cup. We start in Turkey's | :00:57. | :01:16. | |
largest city Istanbul, where a bomb attack claimed | :01:17. | :01:17. | |
the lives of at least 5 people Istanbul is a major tourist | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
hotspot for the country. And the explosion took | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
place on Istiklal Avenue, close to Taksim Square, | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
a location popular with tourists Turkey's Prime Minister has | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
condemned the suicide attack that killed at least five people | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
in an area of Istanbul At least two of those who died | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
are known to be Israeli. Reports say an Iranian | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
national was also killed. Daniel Boettcher has | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
more from Istanbul: Saturday morning on Istanbul's most | :01:48. | :01:48. | |
popular shopping street. Seconds after these images | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
there is an explosion. There were fears this | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
city could be a target. Terrified residents running | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
from the scene. And ambulances arriving to care | :02:06. | :02:17. | |
for the casualties. Among those injured, | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
at least 12 foreign nationals. TRANSLATION: This shopkeeper heard | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
the explosion, you said he knew Another told me, people | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
were expecting this, there had been rumours | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
of an imminent attack. Police have sealed off the entire | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
area, armed officers These scenes are becoming | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
all too familiar in Turkey. This attack struck at | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
the very heart of Istanbul. Authorities here have been unable | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
to put a stop to these suicide bombings and Turkey is under threat | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
on several different fronts. Kurdish militants linked to the PKK | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
said they carried out two car bomb attacks in Ankara in less | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
than a month in which more And so-called Islamic State | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
were blamed for suicide bombings in the capital last October, | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
and in Istanbul earlier this year. It isn't clear who was behind | :03:12. | :03:20. | |
today's attack, as investigations continue, streets that | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
would normally be bustling Many here are wondering | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
where this will end. Joining me is the London bureau | :03:26. | :03:48. | |
chief for the Turkish newspaper Zaman. How do you react to this | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
Kevin this is the fourth major attack? Turkey is going through | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
catastrophic days. People are frightened and trying to understand | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
what is happening, because it has not witnessed this sort of attack | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
previously before so this is the first time in Turkey in five months | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
the fifth attack, so people are trying to understand and they really | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
don't know and are worried as to what will happen next. Nobody has | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
claimed responsibility yet but who's the finger of blame pointed at? | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
Nobody has taken responsibility but all the signs shall that it is | :04:32. | :04:46. | |
suicide bombers related to Isil. There are reports the suicide | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
bombers were training in Syria and came from Syria. The examples are | :04:50. | :05:01. | |
taken and those compatible with bombers who came from Syria. There | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
is a media blackout, or it has just been lifted, why was that? Why does | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
it impose these blackouts? It has been routine in Turkey. All the | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
events which are not seen as good for the ruling party, the watchdog | :05:21. | :05:29. | |
imposes ban is on media coverage, so I think they don't want people to | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
learn details of the attacks. They want to cover up something. That is | :05:36. | :05:44. | |
the reason. What is the culture in Turkey? You work for a newspaper | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
that has been taken over by the government. What is the mood? It | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
becomes like hell. I am a journalist and most of my colleagues as you may | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
follow from the news, the paper is seized already and taken over by the | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
government. Brutally raided by riot police. Not only the newspaper but | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
the other journalists are under immense pressure in Turkey, we get | :06:12. | :06:20. | |
oppression and everything, so it is not secure. Not only journalists but | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
all the critical voices are under threat, under harassment. Thank you. | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
French prosecutors say Salah Abdeslam wanted to blow | :06:30. | :06:30. | |
himself up at the Stade de France during the Paris attacks - | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
He has been charged with involvement in terrorist murder and being part | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
of a terrorist group - along with a second man Monir Ahmed | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
Here's Ben Wright with the latest from Brussels. | :06:41. | :06:49. | |
Caught after four months on the run, shot in the leg during his capture. | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
This morning Salah Abdeslam was transferred from hospital | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
to here, police headquarters, where he has been charged and questioned. | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
He spoke to his lawyer for about ten minutes. | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
He is collaborating with Belgian justice and we will refuse | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
After the Paris attacks, a French judge issued a European | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
arrest warrant for Salah Abdeslam, a legal process | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
Later in the day, first details of what he said to investigators. Salah | :07:22. | :07:35. | |
Abdeslam today told Belgian investigators that he plans to blow | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
himself up but backed out. However, we need to take these first | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
statements from him with caution. Yesterday, he lost his hiding place. | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
Dragged out by police after a massive manhunt. | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
This morning, windows smashed in the raid were crudely boarded up | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
and the mood was edgy and disbelieving. | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
I couldn't sleep all night, this neighbour said, | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
the idea of Europe's most wanted man next to me | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
A local Imam told me he was very happy Salah Abdeslam | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
These people are parasites, he told me. | :08:13. | :08:24. | |
It is extraordinary that Salah Abdeslam was found right here. | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
In the days after the Paris attacks, police raided a house just | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
The family home is a five-minute walk from here but he was eventually | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
The question now, how long is he here, who is protecting him | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
and what if anything is he going to reveal to police? | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
Others didn't want to talk and there is a sense that this has | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
Let's take a look at some other stories now. | :08:46. | :08:56. | |
Egypt's interior ministry says 13 members of the security forces have | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
been killed in a mortar attack in the Sinai Peninsula. | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
The attack occurred at a checkpoint close to the town of el-Arish. | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
The area has seen a rise in clashes in recent years between the Egyptian | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
There are reports that the so-called Islamic State has claimed | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
responsibility for the attack on several websites. | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
Reports from Syria say air strikes on the city of Raqqa have | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
killed at least 39 people, including women and children. | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
It's not clear if Russian or Syrian government planes carried out | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
the attack in the city which is the main IS | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
And a new video has appeared online apparently showing British hostage | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
John Cantlie, who was taken hostage by the so-called Islamic State | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
The unverified video shows him walking near a bomb-damaged building | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
It's the first new footage to emerge of him in a year. | :09:47. | :09:57. | |
Russian officials say the passenger plane which crashed in southern | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
Russia was trying to land in near-hurricane force winds. | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
The plane was travelling from Dubai to Rostov-on-Don when it nose-dived | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
into the runway on its second attempt to land. | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
All 62 passengers and crew on board were killed. | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
Our correspondent Olga Ivshina is at the crash scene. | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
The airport will remain closed at least until Monday morning. | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
Behind my back, you can see a memorial to the victims | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
of the tragedy and people keep coming here. | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
They are bringing flowers and leaving candles and praying | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
Rostov is quite a big city of nearly 1 million people and it seems | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
here are deeply shocked by what has happened. | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
People told us that nobody was expecting such a thing | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
to happen, and of course the next few days will be particularly hard | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
for people and especially relatives of the victims. | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
Investigations have stopped overnight but will resume | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
People are hoping that the investigation will find out | :11:01. | :11:09. | |
Up to now, the main version is harsh weather conditions. | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
The weather has changed dramatically a few times with heavy rain | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
and strong winds and now it is snowing quite heavily. | :11:23. | :11:32. | |
It is changing quite quickly but this was the main reason | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
of the crash and investigation, we will find out. | :11:36. | :11:46. | |
Three people have been arrested after protestors in Arizona blocked | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
a major highway leading to a campaign rally by Republican | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
Police say a few dozen protestors drove their vehicles across the road | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
after most Trump supporters had already arrived at the rally venue. | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
They unfurled banners with anti-Trump slogans. | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
Donald Trump eventually made it to the rally along with one | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
of his key supporters, local Sheriff Joe Arpaio, | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
who admitted the disruption caused a 'little problem'. | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
We had a little problem, some demonstrators were trying | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
to disrupt - because of them we had to get a little more sunshine | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
And three of them are in jail, so if they think they're | :12:30. | :12:39. | |
going to intimidate you, and the next president | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
of the United States, it's not going to happen. | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
Not in this town, I'll tell you right now. | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
Pope Francis has launched an Instagram account, | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
to spread his message through images on the popular photo-sharing site. | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
The Vatican says the initiative came from the pontiff himself, | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
who believes a picture can tell a thousand words. | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
Within hours, his first post had attracted 800,000 followers. | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
This is how seriously Pope Francis takes social media, a solemn launch | :13:07. | :13:28. | |
ceremony at the Vatican attended by a histogram's chief executive. I am | :13:29. | :13:36. | |
beginning a new journey to walk with you along the path of mercy and the | :13:37. | :13:47. | |
tenderness of God. His username is his name in Latin. His first post | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
accompanied by a caption in nine languages asking users to pray for | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
him. The account instantly attracted hundreds of thousands of followers | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
and he can expect many more. The fact he is gaining followers at a | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
very rapid rate says to me that he has a platform to speak to each and | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
every one of the 400 million people who use instead of around the world, | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
and the fact that images transcend languages and cultures means he can | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
speak to each and every person equally and it is very exciting. | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
That view was shared by tourists and Saint Peters Square. In my opinion, | :14:25. | :14:33. | |
he needs to be close to the people, close to believers, and above all to | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
Young believers who may have their faith, so I think this is a good | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
choice. If his message evolves by using social media channels which | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
are the most commonly used communication tools, why not? | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
Between them, his Twitter accounts and nine languages have more than 26 | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
million followers. The accounts are all run by the Vatican social media | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
department. Pope Francis himself has admitted he doesn't know how to use | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
a computer. Stay with us on BBC | :15:08. | :15:08. | |

of Iain Duncan Smith The Work and Pensions Secretary | :15:30. | :15:31. | |

disability benefits. He described them as "indefensible" | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
in a Budget that "benefited higher He's been replaced by Stephen Crabb, | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
who was previously Speaking shortly after his | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
appointment was announced, Mr Crabb said he was honoured | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
to be taking on the role, despite the timing of it, | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
and said the department still faced I was sad to see him resign and the | :15:49. | :16:09. | |
circumstances in which he dead but there is commitment to our mission | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
of welfare reform and we have to carry on making good decisions. | :16:14. | :16:14. | |
strong decisions, to get this country back to a situation of sound | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
public finances, and that work will carry on. | :16:18. | :16:30. | |
The latest headlines. Turkey is hit by a second suicide bombing within a | :16:31. | :16:40. | |
week, this time at the heart of Istanbul's shopping district. The | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
Paris attacks suspect captured in Belgium tells investigators he plans | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
to blow himself up but changed his mind. | :16:48. | :16:48. | |
Cuba is preparing for one of the most historic visits | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
It's been almost 90 years since a sitting US leader visited | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
Sunday's arrival has taken months of diplomacy. | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
While most Cubans welcome the prospect of a new start | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
with the US, others have reservations about embracing | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
Very soon, President Obama's motorcade will be rolling down | :17:04. | :17:13. | |
Once potholed and broken, his route around the city | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
is being resurfaced in a last-ditch effort to prepare for this most | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
The national baseball stadium too has been a hive of activity. | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
President Obama is due to watch a game between the Tampa Bay Rays | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
and the Cuban national side while in Havana and he might even | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
Beyond the new coats of paint and symbolism, | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
there is something very significant behind this trip. | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
It's been months, even years, in the making and comes | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
after President Obama and Raul Castro chose to put decades | :17:51. | :17:52. | |
Many Cubans welcome the new relationship with Washington | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
but some of the old guard, contemporaries of Fidel Castro, | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
have residual doubts about diving into a friendship | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
I think all the people in Cuba may say certain words | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
because the history of Cuba with the United States was a very | :18:09. | :18:20. | |
long, stormy and complicated history. | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
Some of the generation of the original revolutionaries | :18:24. | :18:24. | |
might have their doubts about the new relationship with | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
But most young people on the island simply want to see the pace | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
of change continue to quicken and they hope this historic visit | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
by President Obama is just the beginning of an exciting | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
President Obama will come bearing gifts. | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
He's relaxed the rules on travel and trade | :18:43. | :18:44. | |
Young people hope those changes will mean more opportunities | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
Most Cubans know Obama is making things right. | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
Obama is looking for a new approach to Cuba. | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
That approach that we embrace, it doesn't mean we are doing | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
concessions or that we are changing the way we think. | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
It just means we think different but can also be neighbours | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
Recently 200,000 people turned out for a free concert by the American | :19:13. | :19:21. | |
dance music group Major Laser in a plaza outside the US Embassy. | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
A sight synonymous with Government-run demonstrations | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
against Washington, these people were there not to protest, | :19:29. | :19:30. | |
President Obama is expected to address the young people | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
when he's on the island and urge them to throw off the narrow mindset | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
But no matter what he says, Cuba's youth is already feeling more | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
Hosts India revived their World Twenty20 hopes by beating fierce | :19:42. | :20:05. | |
On a difficult surface, in a rain-affected match of 18 overs | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
a side, Virat Kohli's unbeaten 55 took India to their target of 119 | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
The horns are being beat here this evening, with a sense of relief and | :20:13. | :20:28. | |
that will echo across India. Cricket matches between India and Pakistan | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
are question of placed each, but in this to ornament, there was the | :20:35. | :20:46. | |
issue for India of just staying in. When I started bawling, the spinners | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
were producing unplayable deliveries and it was the recovery for Pakistan | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
to get to 180. Chasing the small total, the attackers as good as any | :21:00. | :21:08. | |
nation's. Virat Kohli showed all the composure you need any situation | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
like that. On a night like this, the stars are supposed to shine and that | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
is exactly what he dead. His unbeaten half-century got in the | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
home with a few overs to spare. Now to football and Leicester's | :21:21. | :21:29. | |
title dreams are edging ever closer. They're now 8 points clear | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
at the top of the Premier League, after beating Crystal Palace | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
by a goal to nil today. After missing an early chance, | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
that man Riyad Mahrez turned in Jamie Vardy's cross, | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
to send the City fans into raptures. This team started the season to be | :21:40. | :21:52. | |
saved, and now it is to fight for something nobody could think could | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
happen! We are working so well and so hard during all the season and we | :21:58. | :22:05. | |
have to carry on and become and enjoy and be focused as well | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
tonight. You have to take your hat off to the defending tonight. They | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
really worked at the races and didn't covers a lot of chances. We | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
had to try to create everything we dead and no mistakes on their part. | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
They were good today, particularly first half and we struggled to stay | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
with them but overall, it was a decent performance from us. | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
Leicester City fans will like the look of this, | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
they've opened up an impressive league over Tottenham. | :22:41. | :22:42. | |
The Premier League continues on Sunday, with the Manchester derby | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone says the sport's new qualifying | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
format should be changed in time for the next race. | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
The new elimination rules have been strongly criticised after being | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
used for the first time at the Australian Grand Prix. | :22:54. | :22:55. | |
It meant Lewis Hamilton took his 50th pole several minutes | :22:56. | :22:57. | |
It's an all-Mercedes front row with Nico Rosberg | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
alongside his teammate, ahead of the Ferraris. | :23:02. | :23:10. | |
Just really take my hat off to this team, what they have done to raise | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
the bar once more in the third year, and it is just inspiring for me and | :23:18. | :23:26. | |
it motivates me. I enjoyed driving the car today at qualifying. We | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
still have high hopes for the race and it is going to be a long year | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
and we know the car has a lot of potential saw as a starting point, | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
third and fourth, it is a good achievement, and the team is pushing | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
very hard, so as I said we have long year ahead of us. And that is all | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
the sport for now. Now when a retired Brazilian | :23:48. | :23:48. | |
bricklayer found a lost penguin washed up on the beach | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
near his home, he probably didn't expect the close friendship that | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
blossomed between them. This is the beach on a small island | :23:54. | :24:09. | |
off the coast of Brazil. Back in 2011, this man found the Penguin | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
covered in oil lying on the sand. He cleaned it up and every now and then | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
the bird comes back to see him. I love the Penguin like it is my own | :24:21. | :24:32. | |
child, he says. He is a South American Magellanic Penguin. He | :24:33. | :24:34. | |
disappears for weeks or months on end. But he keeps coming back to | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
visit the 71-year-old, a retired bricklayer. One zoologist has | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
theorised that the Penguin may believe the human as part of his | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
family, but he says the bird has become a member of heads. Another | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
expert suggests that because he claims his visits for breeding | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
season he may have more on his mind than just the fish. Either way he | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
has no problems about meeting the rest of the colony, boosting the | :25:04. | :25:11. | |
population to 1301! Residents say he has become their mascot and he is | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
willing to take advantage of the hospitality on offer. Magellanic | :25:18. | :25:19. | |
penguins are not unknown in the waters of Brazil but those who | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
commented people's homes to take a shower or something availability. | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
What a sweet story, and a reminder of menus. A suicide bomb attack at a | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
busy shopping area in Istanbul has killed at least five people. Two | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
Israelis, two Americans and an Iranian are said to have died. | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
Another 36 were injured in the blast near a government building. That's | :25:47. | :25:56. | |
all from the programme, from me and the rest of the team, goodbye. | :25:57. | :26:04. |
