I'm Karin Giannone The Headlines Tunisia says it's uncovered | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
a terrorist cell linked to the Berlin Christmas | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
A nephew of Anis Amri was among one of the three men arrested | :00:16. | :00:32. | |
Benjamin Netanyhu orders a review of Israel's relationship | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
with with the United Nations after a vote condemning | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
Security forces in Tunisia say they've arrested three members | :00:37. | :01:11. | |
of a terrorist cell linked to Anis Amri, the Tunisian | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
who killed 12 people by driving a lorry into a Christmas market | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
The interior ministry said one of those detained was Amri's nephew. | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
24-year-old Anis Amri was shot dead by police in Milan in the early | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
This is Anis Amri, the man suspected of being behind the attack on a | :01:24. | :01:43. | |
Berlin Christmas market. And now, authorities across Europe and the | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Middle East are trying to piece together his extremist connections. | :01:47. | :01:58. | |
Now a clearer picture of his network is emerging. | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
Officials in Tunis say he was connected to a militant cell, | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
Amri is thought to have sent his nephew money | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
The nephew's now in custody in Tunisia. | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
The Spanish authorities are investigating whether Amri may have | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
In Tunis today, hundreds of people took to the streets | :02:21. | :02:30. | |
They gathered outside the Bardo Museum, which was attacked | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
In recent years around five and a half thousand Tunisians have | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
joined jihadist groups, making the country one | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
of the largest exporters of militants in the region. | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
TRANSLATION: The terrorists damage the image of Tunisia in the world, | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
and have harmed the expats who are living abroad. | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
TRANSLATION: Our message is from the heart, it is a panic | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
wave, and you need to understand, Tunisians are afraid, | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
Shot dead in an exchange of fire with the police | :03:00. | :03:12. | |
And the hunt for more clues about the attacker goes on. | :03:13. | :03:26. | |
What began as a horrific attack here in Germany has become | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
an investigation spanning Europe and beyond. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
German investigators want to know if he had supporters here, | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
people who may have helped him planned the attack and his escape. | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
As the city turns down to Christmas, the authorities are still at work. | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
So following the arrests in Tunisia, are the suspects now likely to be | :03:40. | :03:52. | |
The BBC's Rana Javad is in the capital Tunis. | :03:53. | :04:01. | |
It is highly unlikely they will be extradited. I did speak to an | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
official at the foreign ministry earlier asking if there was any | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
request from the German authorities in that regard and he said so far, | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
no request. But in any case, this matter will be handled internally | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
here with Aran investigations and he also said there is no hesitation on | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
the Tunisian parts to cooperate fully with the German authorities, | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
but given the information that has so far been made available to us | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
from the Interior Ministry, it does not seem to suggest that this attack | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
was something necessarily planned from here, but rather that Anis Amri | :04:42. | :04:50. | |
tried to recruit his own nephew in recent months and succeeded in doing | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
so if all of the stamens we've gotten so far are accurate, as well | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
as to whether people links to him here as well. | :05:01. | :05:11. | |
Israel's re-evaluating all of its contacts | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
with the United Nations, including its funding UN | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
institutions and the presence of UN representatives in Israel. | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the announcement a day | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
after the UN Security Council passed a resolution demanding a halt | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
to Israeli settlement-building on occupied Palestinian land. | :05:23. | :05:23. | |
praised US President-elect Donald Trump, | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
who's suggested he will reverse America's position on the issue | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
at the UN, which allowed the resolution to pass.> | :05:28. | :05:44. | |
TRANSLATION: We are entering a new era and as President-elect Trump | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
said yesterday, this is going to be much quicker than people think. | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
The passing of the resolution has been celebrated by Palestinians, | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
as our Middle East Correspondent, Yolande Knell explains. | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
Here in Bethlehem, there is the festive mood, for many Palestinians | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
feel they have bigger reason to celebrate after this UN Security | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
Council resolution which said Israeli settlements are a fragrance | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
violation of international law. It has been welcomed by over different | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
political factions in Palestine and they are hoping it will strengthen | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
their legal case when they pursue action against Israel in the | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
international courts. For it's parts, is really officials have come | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
out and said this is disgraceful and shameful a resolution and the | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
Israeli Prime Minister has said he will not abide by its terms. There | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
are more than 600,000 Israelis living in settlements in the | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem, that is on land that | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
Israel captured in the 1967 Middle East War. And the US really feels | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
that at the Security Council it was betrayed by his closest ally, the | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
US, which usually uses its veto power to block any resolution | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
critical of Israel. Now it is looking to President-elect Donald | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
Trump for support and he has already come out on Twitter saying things | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
will be different after January 20, which is of course when he takes | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
office. The Nigerian president | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
Muhammadu Buhari says the army has captured a key base of the Islamist | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
militant group Boko Haram. The president said the group | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
now had nowhere to hide after being forced out | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
of what he called its last enclave. Boko Haram still stages suicide | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
bombings in the northeast and in neighbouring | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
Niger and Cameroon. Despite the progress, the Nigerian | :07:48. | :07:59. | |
Government still has some way to go before victory over Boko Haram is | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
achieved. We have to recognise this comes in a long line of quite strong | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
statements from the president about Boko Haram. A year ago or so he told | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
the BBC that the war against the militant group was technically one | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
and the Government had one at that war and yet, in that past year, we | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
have seen suicide bomb attacks and other attacks by Boko Haram. What is | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
clear is the militant group have lost an awful lot of territory and | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
do not control big towns. It seems according to the President's | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
statement that they may have lost their territory in the north-east of | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
the country. But the group's tactics have changed and they've become an | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
organisation that uses more suicide attacks and sneak attacks rather | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
than old and territory. So it would be premature to say that Boko Haram | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
was finished, they still operate in Chad and regional countries, too. It | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
was also striking that the president referred to new efforts to get the | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
release of the schoolgirls who were taken over two years ago and around | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
200 of them are still believed to be in captivity of Boko Haram. He did | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
not say we have taken them back from this camp, it had been assumed | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
they'd been captured. So the implication would be they do not | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
know exactly where the girls are and I would also imply that Boko Haram | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
is still in places in Nigeria or in neighbouring countries where the | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
Nigerian Government cannot get to them. So the war is definitely not | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
over, but the Government at least, the Nigerian Government, is saying | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
this is a major step forward in that war. Reports from Congo said talks | :09:36. | :09:46. | |
of the deal Senate President leaving power at the end of next year I'll | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
close to agreement. The president has refused to step down even though | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
his term of office has expired. Under the proposed agreement, a new | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
Prime Minister will be chosen from the opposition and elections would | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
be held next year. Temperatures in the North Pole could be up to 20 | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
degrees higher than average today in what scientists say is a | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
record-breaking heatwave. They say an air temperature of just below | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
freezing instead of the usual level of around -30 is preventing ice from | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
forming. Researchers say the unseasonably warm weather patterns | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
have a direct link to man-made climate change. Actress Carrie | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
Fisher is in intensive care in a Los Angeles hospital after suffering a | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
heart attack on a flight from London to Los Angeles. She is best known | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
for her role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars films. Miss Fisher who is | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
60 was flying back after finishing a tour to promote her autobiography. | :10:37. | :10:46. | |
Rick Parfitt has died in Spain at the age of 68. He was being treated | :10:47. | :10:55. | |
in hospital for a severe infection. He was still recovering from a heart | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
attack he suffered earlier this summer. | :10:58. | :11:06. | |
I've got to where I wanted to go, to become a pop star or a rock star. | :11:07. | :11:24. | |
To Status Quo fans he was easy to spot, the bobbing blond head. | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
He was responsible for some of rock music's greatest riffs. | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
From 1972 there was a Status Quo album in the top ten | :11:30. | :11:37. | |
Rick Parfitt met Francis Rossi when they were teenagers. | :11:38. | :11:45. | |
Their first single was a bit of 60s psychedelia. | :11:46. | :11:53. | |
But their passion was something a bit more raw. | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
All our records sound alike, of course they do, | :11:58. | :12:06. | |
They are going to sound like us, who are we supposed to sound like? | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
As soon as I had the idea, I couldn't think of anyone better. | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
MUSIC: "Rockin' All Over the World" by Status Quo. | :12:19. | :12:31. | |
When it came to sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
This riff arose from the consequence of a huge dose of amphetamines. | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
Good night, Rick, see you in the morning! | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
I came back in the morning and he was there. | :12:47. | :13:00. | |
He has a particular type of woman, blondes! | :13:01. | :13:15. | |
Even when he was recovering from heart surgery he was still | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
When it came to turning rock into hit songs, | :13:19. | :13:30. | |
Pope Francis 's lead in the Catholic Church by celebrating Mass at Saint | :13:31. | :13:59. | |
Peter 's Basilica in the Vatican. There he is. David, the first major | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
event of the Christmas season for the Pope? Yes, and there is heavy | :14:08. | :14:16. | |
security in the Vatican. There are policemen and soldiers stationed | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
every few hundred yards, so the crowds attending tonight's midnight | :14:21. | :14:28. | |
mass inside Saint Peter's Basilica have had to pass through metal | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
detectors. There's a general sense of insecurity I think here in Italy | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
after the attacks in Berlin and the shooting of the main suspect up in | :14:42. | :14:49. | |
Milan. The Pope at is just making his money, his first public | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
appearance during the Christmas holiday. And he is talking about the | :14:56. | :15:05. | |
necessity for Christians to humble themselves before Christ and he is | :15:06. | :15:13. | |
saying that in the world today, if you look around, there are many | :15:14. | :15:22. | |
children are suffering in ways that defied dignity. It talks about | :15:23. | :15:31. | |
children suffering in ships with other migrants cross in the | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
Mediterranean. Children who are hungry and have been trying to | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
shelter from the bonds in Aleppo. -- the bonds. I think it is a muted | :15:40. | :15:47. | |
Christmas message, nonetheless though, it is... David, I am afraid | :15:48. | :16:01. | |
we are losing sound there. Apologies for this. Thank you from David and | :16:02. | :16:09. | |
you can see what is going on in Saint Peter's Basilica. Pope Francis | :16:10. | :16:17. | |

French oyster farmers using a high-tech solution to stop thieves | :16:23. | :16:23. | |
from stealing their catch. The Queen's granddaughter | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
Zara Tindall and her husband Mike The couple announced | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
they were expecting their In a statement the spokeswoman said: | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
"Very sadly, Zara and Mike Tindall At this difficult time, | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
we ask that everyone Buckingham Palace last thing it is a | :16:44. | :16:55. | |
private matter. Zara was always an ambiguous situation. Although she is | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
the Queen's granddaughter, neither she nor her husband are members of | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
the working royal family. They both carved out distinguished careers in | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
their respective sporting fields. They married in 2011 and have one | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
daughter who will be three next month. This pregnancy announced a | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
month ago, and it was thought this baby would have been born in the | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
spring, so it is thought that she would have been around four months | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
pregnant. No medical risk to her, but as you say, very sad for both of | :17:27. | :17:36. | |
them. You're watching BBC world News today. The latest headlines. Tunisia | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
says it has uncovered a terror selling to the Berlin Christmas | :17:41. | :17:41. | |
market attacker, Anis Amri. orders a review of Israel's contacts | :17:42. | :17:53. | |
with the United Nations, after a resolution demanded a halt | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
to Israeli settlement-building Fatima is a child of war. All three | :17:56. | :18:26. | |
years old, she is to understand why her countrymen have turned their | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
guns on each other the knots too young to bear the scars. She was | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
seven years old when a tank shell tore through her home in | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
north-western Syria. The final followed cripple the right hand, | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
legs and vocal cords. 60% of her body was burnt. Her father went from | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
hospital to hospital, pleading for doctors to save her life. Bred | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
TRANSLATION: One hospital suggested giving her a lethal injection. They | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
said Burns were too severe and that she be disabled for life. Now, when | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
I look, I thank God she is alive and she makes us feel happy just by | :19:01. | :19:09. | |
Cinco. -- just by seeing her. German surgeon heard the story and decided | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
it could have a happy ending. She was instrumental in bringing Fatima | :19:16. | :19:17. | |
and her friend -- family to Germany. She is damage treated. It is a huge | :19:18. | :19:26. | |
challenge to operate on a child that is very underweight. She has the | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
weight of a one-year-old. But we cannot wait much longer, because we | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
want to walk as soon as possible. The doctors they have decades of | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
experience, but even for them, this is not an everyday operation. The | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
surgeons are conducting several procedures today. They want is to | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
heal some of the scars of Fatima's face and test to see if they can | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
help her hair grow again. But the main aim is to help her walk again | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
and they are correcting her feet and using steel pins to keep them in | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
place. If all goes well, they hope she can walk after three months. | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
Three hours later, the operation is finished. Doctors say it will be | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
sometime before they can determine whether it was success or not. It is | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
not only if the mechanics are corrected, but also the psychology | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
of being able to stand on her feet and climate and use her feet and | :20:21. | :20:31. | |
start walking. So we don't know yet. For now, Fatima's wombs have been | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
reopened. Her mother hopes that tears are worth it. | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
TRANSLATION: We will walk together, God willing. And I hope she will be | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
in the best position. She has suffered so much as a child. Fatima | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
will remain in hospital for many weeks. She will receive | :20:54. | :20:55. | |
physiotherapy and psychological support and Doctor soaps operate on | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
her again in January. There will be more pain ahead, but the worst is | :21:01. | :21:11. | |
now over. You may have heard of sheep rustling cattle rustling, but | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
how about oyster rustling? In France every year, as the festive season | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
gets underway, oyster farms on the coast are increasingly the target of | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
thieves trying to cash in on the lucrative Christmas market. But help | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
is at hand thanks to a new secret electronic oyster that act as a | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
tracking device if it is moved. Every year at Christmas time, the | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
French shell out millions of euros on seafood. And every year here, the | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
farm shop does a thriving trade. But there is a downside to the booming | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
oyster beds as demand goes up, so do prices and so does the temptation | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
for oyster poaching. Oyster rustling at Christmas time in France is no | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
laughing matter. Every year, tonnes of oysters are being stolen by | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
unscrupulous operators and oyster growers have to spend a fortune of | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
their own on security and night time patrols and cameras. At the nearby | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
town there is a high-tech hub where they may have another answer. | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
Scientists say have devised a kind of spy in the sea. This succulent | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
thing has valves of the electronic kind. It sits with the real oysters | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
and if they are unexpectedly taken off in the back of a truck, it sends | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
out an alarm. They have a motion detector. The battery and a GPS | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
process are in there. If there is a movement on the process is wakened | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
and it sets the GPS position to your mobile phone. It can stay in water | :22:48. | :22:57. | |
for up to two years. Being indistinguishable from the rest of | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
the by, the Beacon will not be seen by the poacher. Here they fear | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
night-time raids and at low tide, with a team of thieves and a truck, | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
it would not take more than an hour to lift the terms of oysters that | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
idea, especially if they know what they are doing. Oddly enough, the | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
culprits are thought to be mainly other oyster growers. | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
TRANSLATION: The problem is that orders for Christmas are made by | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
wholesalers are very early in the year, but later, when some growers | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
realise they are not going to be able to fulfil their orders, the | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
