:01:59. > :02:02.footage at the sight of the New York bombing and also where a second
:02:03. > :02:06.device was found just streets away. The public had been warned
:02:07. > :02:10.that he was armed and dangerous. 12 shots rang out,
:02:11. > :02:26.I guess he got it by them. The morning started with two bomb
:02:27. > :02:31.squad robot sub investigating a suspicious package which exploded
:02:32. > :02:33.before they could even deactivated. It had been left near a railway
:02:34. > :02:36.station in the town of Elizabeth, New Jersey, and the blast clearly
:02:37. > :02:42.took detectives by surprise. This is a town where
:02:43. > :02:44.Ahmad Khan Rahami lives and an investigation quickly
:02:45. > :02:46.turned into a manhunt. The FBI carried out searches
:02:47. > :02:50.at his family's business, a fried chicken restaurant

:03:53. > :04:00.what authorities are calling the biggest security presence
:04:01. > :04:05.in the city has ever seen. With 1,000 additional police
:04:06. > :04:07.officers and national guardsmen This week, security was already
:04:08. > :04:19.going to be tight with more than 130 heads of state
:04:20. > :04:21.and government attending the United Nations General Assembly,
:04:22. > :04:22.but extra precautions The police clearly believe they now
:04:23. > :04:26.have the New York bombing suspect in custody, one
:04:27. > :04:28.of the questions now, or was he a lone wolf
:04:29. > :04:31.or part of a wider plot? Nick Bryant, BBC News,
:04:32. > :04:46.New Jersey. In the last 30 minutes, police have
:04:47. > :04:52.said they have no reason to suspect it is more than one person involved.
:04:53. > :05:00.Based on the information we have no, we have every reason to believe this
:05:01. > :05:08.was a terror attack. There is still a long investigation ahead. We
:05:09. > :05:14.believe this was an act of terror. Because this is an ongoing
:05:15. > :05:24.investigation, we should all remain vigilant. Anyone hearing any
:05:25. > :05:29.information or seeing anything, anything which may be of assistance
:05:30. > :05:31.to the authorities, please be vigilant and parade that
:05:32. > :05:36.information. Our correspondent Barbara
:05:37. > :05:49.Plett-Usher is in New York. What more have the official has been
:05:50. > :05:53.seeing? They were stressing this is very much an active investigation.
:05:54. > :06:00.But that is clearly a palpable sense of relief. The priority was getting
:06:01. > :06:07.the suspect. Now they have him in custody, the killer con to his
:06:08. > :06:15.motivation, to whether he was working alone or with anyone else.
:06:16. > :06:26.His photograph was distributed earlier in the day. The did not
:06:27. > :06:32.believe there was more than one individual involved, but they were
:06:33. > :06:37.following up other investigations to find out extra information. We were
:06:38. > :06:42.also told that the vigilance would continues. The security presence
:06:43. > :06:51.would continue, is special because the United Nations General Assembly
:06:52. > :06:56.is being convened in the city. Security services where asked the
:06:57. > :07:02.man had been on a security watch list, as far as the wearer and we
:07:03. > :07:08.are, he had not been. There had been criminal incidents, but not terror
:07:09. > :07:09.related. It is believed he did not come to the attention in that regard
:07:10. > :07:14.before this situation. With me now is James Jay Carafano,
:07:15. > :07:17.a leading expert in national security and foreign policy
:07:18. > :07:28.challenges. Thank you for joining us. We are
:07:29. > :07:39.getting more information about this from FBI the. The CV did not have
:07:40. > :07:43.any motive is yet? Is that surprising? Not at the moment. They
:07:44. > :07:49.will love to interview his friends, his family, the man himself. They
:07:50. > :07:58.will also go through his previous records. It is easy for someone to
:07:59. > :08:02.see this as an act of terror, to actually charging someone with the
:08:03. > :08:09.claim of terrorism, which requires the intent behind for it to be done
:08:10. > :08:23.with the political or social purpose. The believe he was working
:08:24. > :08:28.alone. The believe five other people were questioned and remain in
:08:29. > :08:34.custody, however. It is typical for a bunch of people to be interviewed.
:08:35. > :08:45.They may or may not be involved. It is not unusual. The term cell is
:08:46. > :08:53.actually very unhelpful. The man may have acted alone, with regard to the
:08:54. > :09:02.organisation, we have seen this and other terror plots. None of them
:09:03. > :09:09.have been done by individuals doing everything themselves, but there is
:09:10. > :09:17.a difference between the and discussing things with other
:09:18. > :09:20.associates. Sometimes, the fraternising different masks, but
:09:21. > :09:27.maybe did not find anyone on the other was radical enough. It is all
:09:28. > :09:32.about indications. Apparently, he was not on the radar of the
:09:33. > :09:39.authorities. Again, that is again the unhelpful statement. You are
:09:40. > :09:44.going to gather a lot of information no. They will then find out what
:09:45. > :09:55.they don't actually know about the individual. That is another
:09:56. > :10:00.question, should his top with other people in the community have made
:10:01. > :10:01.him an indicator? That is a sort of thing they will be wanting to find
:10:02. > :10:04.out. You can find out more
:10:05. > :10:06.about the unfolding Just go to bbc.com/news,
:10:07. > :10:09.where you can find live updates and analysis
:10:10. > :10:13.from our US correspondents. German Chancellor Angela Merkel,
:10:14. > :10:15.has accepted responsibility for the historic losses suffered
:10:16. > :10:17.by her Christian Democratic party in Berlin's state
:10:18. > :10:19.elections on Sunday. Calling it a bitter result,
:10:20. > :10:21.Mrs Merkel conceded that her open-door refugee policy
:10:22. > :10:22.was a factor. The CDU polled under 18%
:10:23. > :10:25.of the vote, but the right-wing anti-migrant party, Alternative
:10:26. > :10:33.for Germany, made big gains and will enter the state
:10:34. > :10:36.parliament for the first time. Here is Angela Merkel speaking
:10:37. > :10:49.at a press conference today. TRANSLATION: I've for a long time
:10:50. > :10:52.relied on the Dublin agreement that, to put it very simply,
:10:53. > :10:55.removed the problem for us Germans. If I could, I would turn back time
:10:56. > :11:02.many, many years to prepare better with the entire Government
:11:03. > :11:04.and all those responsible for the situation that hit us
:11:05. > :11:12.unprepared in the summer of 2015. Jorg Luyken is the German editor
:11:13. > :11:34.of online news network The Local. She joins us know. How significant
:11:35. > :11:39.is this for Merkel? It could be significant in the sense that this
:11:40. > :11:45.is the second election this year that her party has been
:11:46. > :11:52.underperforming. It is equally as important as the previous state
:11:53. > :12:02.election. Berlin is actually one of the smaller German state and perhaps
:12:03. > :12:06.is not representative of the whole country, so this result could be
:12:07. > :12:11.getting blown out of some proportion. But every for the defeat
:12:12. > :12:19.that she has, it places more pressure on Merkel, with this focus
:12:20. > :12:22.on the refugee crisis, which she acknowledged for the first time
:12:23. > :12:36.today has been damaging to her party. She was admitting this mix --
:12:37. > :12:38.mistakes that had happened. We will have to cut that interview. Sorry
:12:39. > :12:41.about the same quality on that. Now a look at some of
:12:42. > :12:44.the day's other news. A lawyer for Michael Schumacher has
:12:45. > :12:47.told a court in Germany that the former Formula 1 world
:12:48. > :12:49.champion "cannot walk" following his skiing injury two
:12:50. > :12:51.and a half years ago. The revelation came
:12:52. > :12:53.as part of a lawsuit The magazine had reported
:12:54. > :12:56.that the seven-time world champion could manage some steps
:12:57. > :13:04.with the help of therapists. The most senior Google executive

:13:08. > :13:09.by Brexit and should focus on supporting the growth of global

:13:12. > :13:13.of Google's Europe, Middle East and Africa business,
:13:14. > :13:15.said the vote to leave the European Union was a "local"
:13:16. > :13:18.issue, and that conditions for success in the technology
:13:19. > :13:31.business were improving. Doubts are increasing over
:13:32. > :13:33.the ceasefire in Syria, with the Syrian army
:13:34. > :13:34.declaring it over. The Syrian military command blamed
:13:35. > :13:36.rebels for repeatedly violating the truce,

:17:25. > :17:29.This was the first-ever summit on refugees. That will continue during
:17:30. > :17:38.the week. The overarching theme of all of this is the situation in
:17:39. > :17:46.Syria. More than 5 million people have fled. That is the theme and
:17:47. > :17:51.today there has been criticism of the document that world leaders came
:17:52. > :17:59.up with, which was criticised as not being specific enough. The United
:18:00. > :18:03.Nations Secretary General got world leaders to agree that 10% of the
:18:04. > :18:16.world's refugees should be resettled manually. That was not agreed on
:18:17. > :18:26.today. Tomorrow, it will be interesting to see the specific
:18:27. > :18:31.refugees summit. Skiing with Syria, what is the latest with the
:18:32. > :18:37.ceasefire, which is apparently hanging by a thread. I spoke earlier
:18:38. > :18:42.to the united states ambassador to the United Nations. Reports are
:18:43. > :18:47.coming through. There has been a lot of meetings. There are reports
:18:48. > :18:55.coming out of Syria and people are trying to process what is happening,
:18:56. > :19:03.but it is very much still on. The believe that the Russians have to
:19:04. > :19:08.ratify what the position is of the civilian government. There has been
:19:09. > :19:17.mistrust on both sides. The worry for everyone here is that the
:19:18. > :19:24.ceasefire, users, what does that mean for the hopes of settling the
:19:25. > :19:29.crisis? Nothing good. Very quickly, what is the security of the sphere
:19:30. > :19:35.like in the city at the moment? It is extremely high, as you could
:19:36. > :19:46.imagine. When I went to get a coffee, I win by a police truck,
:19:47. > :19:53.which had 20 SWAT team member Senate, packed with kit. It is not
:19:54. > :20:02.the sort of thing you normally see. It is never usually at that level.

:21:21. > :21:22.to look pleased. Perhaps more than anything,
:21:23. > :21:29.it is his personal popularity in Russia, his 80% approval rating,
:21:30. > :21:32.which helped the party he created This election was about more
:21:33. > :21:37.than just electing a new parliament. In a year and a half's time,
:21:38. > :21:46.Russians go to the polls to choose a new leader and with his party
:21:47. > :21:49.having done so well in this vote, Vladimir Putin is almost certain
:21:50. > :21:52.to run for a fourth term Unlike the last election,
