21/04/2017 World News Today

Good evening. I am live in Paris. It comes out that the man who shot a

police military four previous convictions. During a previous time

of 14 years, he did not show any sign of radicalisation. Security

forces have been mobilised ahead of the presidential elections. The

president says everything will be done to make sure things go

smoothly. Nothing will stop this fundamental democratic movement. Our

other top stories. As the Prime Minister campaigns for the election

in the United Kingdom, the nurse at suggestions as the possible

softening of our governments promise not to increase taxes. Police

investigating the attack on the Brescia Dortmund team bus last week

make an arrest and see that the motive may have been financial gain.

And women's football. One of the top Afghanistan woman football was

forced to flee the country because she is in fear of her away.

There are just a few hours of the campaign left before the election on

Sunday. Events have been dominated to D-Day events in Paris last night.

We have here from the prosecutor that the attacker had been laid in a

out of prison all of his life. He had served sentences for theft and

aggravated violence, including the attempted murder of a policeman in

2001. A letter claiming his allegiance to Islamic state was

found in his pocket after he was shot dead last night. Last night,

alone attacker with a weapon shot policeman dead. His target was

French police. This mobile phone footage shows the moment he killed a

policeman and injured two others before being shot dead. The

policeman he killed was identified today. Dead for doing his duty. The

group calling itself Islamic State claimed responsibility. He had

already served years in prison for attacking police. Officers today

searched the family house. Three of those living there are no being

questioned. Neighbour stalled as they did not see the family very

often. One said he read in the attic and the morning paper and discovered

that the attacker had been living on his street. Another neighbourhood

rebranded as part of the story of France's terrorist attacks, with

thousands of people in ordinary areas listed as potential threats,

security forces here are stretched to breaking point. The selection was

always seen as the possible point for terrorism. The parties have been

promising thousands more police jobs if they are elected. We want to take

back control of our borders from the European Union. We will only raise

the level of protection on our borders. Pictures of hatred must be

expelled. No one will be able to preach against the values of the

Republic. The newcomer said that liberty and democracy would succeed.

It is our liberty and democracy and freedom which is being targeted. Do

not given to intimidation. They are determined that these attacks will

not stop the transition of power this was an attacker who had the has

any of prison sentences, but had no history of affiliation with Islamic

state. He was convicted of aggravated violence in 2008 towards

a police officer. He was jailed for two years in 2014 for theft and

burglary. He was arrested this year on suspicion of planning to attack

the police, but was released due to insufficient evidence. Police say

they have recovered the gun used by the attacker. They are now trying to

piece together his background. I want to clarify that either was not

on the watch list. In 14 years, he had shown no sign of being

radicalised trying to convert other people. The investigations are

attempting to establish the exact context in which he decided to act.

I am pleased to see that the author of a major book on terrorism and

friends has joined me. -- France. Is it feel you're on the part of the

security forces what happened last night? I do not think so. We have

been subjected to potential endless terror from Islamic state but that

has not happened. All these attempted attacks have been nipped

in the bud by the security services because they were able to act in

advance. So you think they are making improvements? Definitely. The

only thing that happened unfortunately last night was this

attack. But I do not think that will change the election. Islamic state

is interested in boosting the extreme right. They want to see a

fracturing between France and other liberal democracies within Europe.

The only way to survive as Muslims, they would say, was to join under

our banner. It looks as if Le Pen has had a major boost in popularity

following last night 's attack? She will probably get through to the

second round. But that is not so much a question of how she will do

beyond fear. This is a story about a man who has been in and out of

prison much of his life? We do not know, but there is a fair chance he

was radicalised inside? We do not know that. Obviously, there have

been people in prison who have been released, like when the policeman

was stamped in June last year, he was stabbed by someone who had just

come out of prison. Therefore, we have an enormous problem not only in

France, but also in the likes of Italy and Germany. The lorry driver,

he was someone who had already been imprisoned. My advice to the next

fix French president is that we would consider the judiciary is the

priority. We need to build new prisons, re-educate the prosecutors

and the lawyers in order to be a weir of these threats. There are

interested. They are doing their jobs, but they are not we are enough

of what the issues are. This is an issue which they did not study.

There is an enormous amount of information which has to be

implemented, whether it is in Europe, which is known the soft

underbelly of the West. That is how the extreme Islamists see it.

Fascinating stuff. Thank you for talking to us.

This city is on high alert. We do not want any more incidents.

Security guards were brought out to protect 60,000 polling stations

across the country. We are in for tents days. Back to you. Of course

there is much more you can find on the website. Back to other news.

Here in the UK, the Prime Minister is on day three of the campaign

trail and along with the Chancellor, they have given their hint of what

will and what will not be in the Conservative manifesto. She says she

will keep the current spending on foreign aid. The Chancellor says he

will like to end the party prize mac promise not to increase taxes. --

party's promise. She looks confident enough and the

message, when we have heard before and will again. What drives me in

politics is to make the United Kingdom a country that works for

everyone and not just the privileged few. That meant sticking to

Britain's target for spending on foreign aid, some right wingers want

cut. What we need to do is look how that money is spent and make sure we

are able to spend that money in the most effective way. Clear enough,

but what about that other costly pledge, keeping up the value of

pensions? You are telling the country that you are a leader that

the people can trust. Can pensioners trust you to go on raising their

state pensions year by year, just as your party and your Government does

now? What I would say to pensioners is like at what the Conservatives in

Government have done. 1000 and year better off due to action that has

been taken. We were very clear that we need to support people in their

old age and that is what we have done. That was not a yes. You're in

Berkshire, plenty of people like the idea of looking after pensions. They

have worked all their lives and paid the national insurance. They have

paid their taxes. I think they deserve it as much as anybody else.

If you cannot look after the elderly, what can you do? They do

not use it. A lot of them put it straight in the bank. She may be

about to upset a lot of other voters. Even thinking about dropping

the promise to pensioners... She is clearly protecting overseas aid

spending at the same time. A big lead in the polls comes in handy if

you are about to annoy millions of pensioners. A big majority in the

Commons, even more so. That deserves a cardinal. Jeremy Corbyn is

campaigning his way, to small clouds and big ones. -- crowds. The

Corbyn's wave sounds like this. Theresa May seems incapable of

answering any questions over state pensions. I give you that commitment

now. Labour will maintain the triple lock. Standing by what is called the

triple lock. Pensions up every year by information or average earnings

or 2.5%. I am not quite sure where I am going. Nor is anyone. The

campaign has just started. The Liberal Democrats look perky. They

are sure this election will be better than last time. We are the

only opposition to the Conservatives. Giving a clear and

effective decent opposition on every level. And on the go. Pollsters and

pundits may think they know how this ends but there are still 48 days

until polling day. German police have arrested a man suspected of

setting off a bomb against the Dortmund football team bus last

week. The had been initial fears it was a terror attack but prosecutors

now believe the man hope to send the club's share price plummeting, with

the intention of making a profit on investments he had made before the

attack. Damian McGuinness is in Berlin for us. Tell us about this

latest development, please. Yes, as you say, initially police did think

it was a terror attack. They were not sure whether it was Islamist

terror or right-wing or left-wing extremists. It now turns out,

according to prosecutors, this was in fact financial crime. So what the

suspect is alleged to have done is to have bought boot options, as they

are known. You can bet on the share price going down and if the share

price does go down the company, in this case the football team, then he

could have earned lots of money. He wanted to do this by bombing the

Bath coach, the team bus, which would have led to multiple injuries

amongst the players, if not fatalities. It was quite a brittle

attack. -- brittle. Unfortunately, only one player was injured. There

were no vitality is but that was a matter of luck. Now the judges here

in Germany have issued a formal arrest. So far he has only been

detained. He has been charged with attempted murder. It has shot

Germany because a lot of people feel it is a terrible way of trying to

make money on the stock market. Any indication from the authorities how

on earth image that connection? Yes, it's interesting. It seems that

there were a couple of mistakes in the sport. Even though the

technicality behind this attack was sophisticated. It was all planned so

that he could detonate the explosives from the hotel room while

the team were in the coach going from the hotel room to the stadium.

From the technical side, it was quite sophisticated, according to

experts. It sounds that the suspect made some errors. According to

prosecutors, he bought the stock options from an IP address in the

hotel. He did not... It was quite clear to investigators there was a

connection there anyway. The initial tip off came from banks because the

financial sector realised that something was amiss. The suspected

money-laundering. The informed the authorities and the authorities have

been tracking this young man. He was then detained this morning on his

way to work. He works as an elocution in the southern state. --

electrician. He has been arrested and will be charged for attempted

murder. Fascinating. Thank you very much. We are going to bring you some

breaking news. The story that is developing. It has been reported

that US military officials are saying that a close associate of the

Islamic State leader has been killed in a commando raid. He was reported

killed during the ground assault in Syria. He was reported to have been

involved in plotting the New Year's Eve attack on the nightclub in

Istanbul in Terkel, in which at least 39 people were killed. -- in

Turkey. At some of the other day's stories now. US and Afghan officials

say it more than 50 people have been killed or seriously injured in an

attack on an army base in the northern town. Military officials

say is suicide bomber blew up his bomb at the gate. The Taliban says

it launched the attack. Emergency services in South Africa say at

least 19 schoolchildren were killed when their minibus collided with a

truck near the capital. The bus exploded into a ball of flames on

impact and fell onto its side. Police say the bus driver was

killed, whilst the driver of the truck survived. It is not clear what

caused the crash. Arkansas's has executed its first inmate after 12

years. The US Supreme Court rejected the final appeal to stop the lethal

injection. He was one of eight men that Arkansas had originally planned

to execute over 11 days. At least 11 people had been killed after another

night of looting and violence in Venezuela. After two days of protest

after the Socialist Government. Tens of thousands of people have taken to

the streets over the past three weeks to call for the new

presidential elections. Has computer hacking become a more widespread

problem? The authorities have had to come up with new ways to protect the

online communities. In the UK the average hacker is 17 years old. They

are not motivated by money either. That has made the effort to stop the

hackers even more focused. The internet is breeding a new kind

of criminal who'd never normally They're young and tech savvy

and sometimes don't even realise Investigators questioned teenagers

convicted of cyber crime The report found financial

gain wasn't a priority. But they did want to

impress other hackers. And thought the risk

of getting caught was low. The early motivations

can be the challenge, can be proving to their peers online

that they can complete the challenge or they can break into certain

things, or find vulnerabilities. But we do see, if they are good

at that and if they can build their reputations in forums

and prove to their peers, we do see them then getting

into this more for monetary This self-confessed hacker, now 16,

claims he taught himself. I got interested, wanted to know how

it worked and how this actually happens, how a website

gets taken down. You learn about the Computer Misuse

Act, which is something you are likely to fall

foul of if you go off and do cyber security

without any guidance. The NCA research also shows

early intervention can Here, teenagers take part

in a tech competition, learning how to hack and stay

on the right side of the law. A lot of students have access

to their own computers at home now and therefore they are trying things

out, and rightly so, we don't want to discourage

people from going out and trying new skills,

learning how to do things. What we absolutely must

get in there, though, is there is a line

they shouldn't be crossing, It's a huge challenge

for law enforcement. The average age of suspects in cyber

crime investigations is now just 17. In Afghanistan, women's football has

seen a revival since the fall of the Taliban. One of the founders of the

team fled the country in fear of her life because of her links to

football. I can't forget that moment when I

thought I may longer not be alive. You only have the option to leave or

shut your mouth. I am not the person who shot my voice because I know my

voice can change so many things. She is the face of Afghanistan fit all,

but like so many teenage girls, playing for her country was just a

dream. -- football. I left the country. The culture was changed.

The Taliban... During the Taliban rain, it was a tough time for women

especially. She saw football as a way of empowering women. She

recruited group of girls. The first game was against a team in control.

The scene of so many public executions. We played in a stadium

and the same stadium where women were shot. It was like a revolution.

It was a huge change. The women who were killed in that stadium, in that

penalty area, and it was that area where I kicked the ball. Afghanistan

one but that did little to endear the players to some people. They

became a target from abuse. Those girls who are playing football and

doing any kind of sports, they are prostitutes. We faced the problems

of violence from women against women. From man against women. Her

family were threatened so she fled to India before moving to Denmark,

where she now lives as a refugee. Injury cut short her career and now

despite living thousands of Columba Tours, she continues to work for the

football team. -- Columba Tours. There is a problem with my injury

but I do participate and I do coordinate the programmes and I do

help my country from far-away. That is the thing that kept me alive and

kept me happy and it motivated me to work hard for my country. I love my

country. Just before we go, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as you have

never heard them before. Last week, Harry Styles

went straight to number one with his debut single,

Sign Of The Times. Or will Ed Sheeran

retain that top spot? He had 13 weeks at number one

with Shape Of You before Harry came along

and spoiled his Easter. The royal couple made a surprise

visit to BBC radio one to talk about the mental health campaign. William

announced he previously texted into Radio 1 under an assumed name. What

a lovely surprise. That is it from the programme. Next, the weather.

Goodbye. If you have outdoor plans this

weekend, the weather shouldn't
