The crocodile was handed over to local forestry workers, who dropped it off at a zoo. Lets go back to our main story, the manhunt for anis amri, the tunisian who is suspected of being behind the attack on the Christmas Market in berlin on monday. Joseph cirincione is the president of the Global Security foundation ploughsha res fund. I asked him whether the German Authorities could have done more to prevent this attack. Terrorism of this kind is extremely difficult to prevent. Was this individual did he commit the act because we didnt deport him soon enough, or was he a disturbed individual, who committed the act because he was about to be deported . We dont know yet, but we do know this. Ever since the Terrorist Attacks of 9 11, National Security experts, including myself, have been focused on the next big, catastrophic terrorist attack, another well planned, highly co ordinated attack, perhaps involving Nuclear Weapons or dirty bombs. Well, it turns out that is not the kind of terrorist attack we actually have to worry about. It is now the spread of low tech Terrorist Attacks, dispersed, autonomous, inspired attacks. It turns out that knives and semiautomatic weapons and home made bombs, and our trucks, are perfectly adequate for causing the kind of terror and societal disruption that the terrorists seek. Something like this, an individual, maybe acting on his own, maybe part of a larger plot, is extremely difficult to stop, and i dont see any way that the authorities could have prevented this kind of attack. Why the change in the strategy, then, by terrorist organisations, with this kind of tactic you describe . Because it works, because its cheap. This individual, was he in communication with isis . He doesnt have to be. Perhaps inspired by isis, or perhaps just mad, literally insane, who are acting out what they are reading about in the papers. It is very hard to stop someone like this, to stop it from happening. We are open societies, we are extremely vulnerable to this kind of attack. I will tell you what this will do, however. It is not going to disrupt germany, it is not going to stop German Foreign policy, but it may fracture german political, domestic unity. You see what this is doing. It is fuelling the rise of far right parties. They are seizing on incidents like this, even though we all know more people die from Lightning Strikes than from terrorism, more people die in bathtub accidents than from terrorism. These kinds of attacks, particularly involving what are traditionally considered non europeans, it is fuelling the far right in europe, and here in the United States as well. Im not sure if you heard what donald trump had to say in response to the berlin attacks today, but he says this proves he was right all along to propose curbing muslim immigration to the United States. What is your assessment, then, of where that leaves the conversation regarding americas response to this . So, on an intellectual level, it is an absurd comment. Of course it is not right. Of course it is crazy to ban a religion, to ban a belief, and stop all people of the muslim faith from entering the country. No rational person thinks that is right. But as a political slogan it fuels his base, it fuels his support. But what worries me more is not the ad hoc comments. It is what some of his advisers are doing. Two weeks ago general flynn, the man that donald trump has tagged to be the next National Security adviser of the United States, met with the head of the austrian freedom party, a far right, neo nazi party. This is a party literally founded by a nazi in 1956, a former ss officer. And they co ordinated, they planned, the same individualjust concluded a Cooperation Agreement with the leader of a foreign party, putin, in russia. This is an extremely troubling development. China has been enduring some of the worst Air Pollution of 2016. Now there could be some relief in sight from the smog. Beijing is to lift its red alert Emergency Measures, as a front of cold air approaches. Near record levels of toxic air have prompted the authorities to ground planes, shut factories and close schools. But as David Campanale now reports, the problems of pollution wont be going away. It is notjust the capital, beijing, that has been under a suffocating blanket of smog. Much of the country has endured six days of an oppressive haze, sparking public anger about the slow response to the threat to health. Since friday, Emergency Measures have attempted to soften the impact of a Choking Miasma across a large swathe of North Eastern china. 460 million people, in more than 20 cities, have been gasping for breath. But the crisis will not be eased quickly. What we see today is the consequences of the sins of probably a whole generation of development, fast development, which clearly did not have the environment at its centre. There are signs, though, of temporary relief. The National Weather authority says the arrival of a Colder Weather front will disperse the smog and ease conditions. Emergency measures such as car restrictions, based on even odd licence plate numbers, will be ended, and schools will resume classes. But levels of particulates, tiny enough to be absorbed into the bloodstream, remain sky high, 20 times the World Health Organizations daily recommended maximum. These are a major contributor to respiratory and heart disease. And, with forecasters saying that next weeks settled weather will see the return of smog conditions, policymakers will need to find longer term solutions. Still to come.

Japan is home to the worlds biggest fish market, called tsukiji. It is legendary for tuna auctions, the source of all that great sushi, so much so that a plan to move the market has provoked controversial. Now, a film has reignited a debate over its historic value. The movies director, naotaro endo, told the bbc what makes the market just so unique. Translation when i first visited tsukiji, i was surprised. I knew so little about it. I was struck the power of the people who make it what it is. I was captivated by their energy, and decided that i wanted to make it into a movie. Trust is the key here. Its taken years to build. Its based on family businesses, and how people connect with each other. Through the movie, i hope it can provide an opportunity to discuss how to nurture and pass on our ancient food culture to the next generation. Returning to one of our lead stories, the smog enveloping china. A professor from the University Of California joins us. If you take a look at the Pollution Reading in some of the worst hit cities, it is close to 1000. How bad is this for Peoples Health . This is very bad. I think this is unprecedented. The only thing we can think about is probably in the 1952 london smog, which we dont but it probably was as bad as todays level in china. 50 it is really very dangerous.

After seven decades as an ecologist, David Goodall says his Natural Environment is here, on campus, surrounded by academic life. In august, the centenarian was told it was no longer safe for him to come into work at the edith cowan university, and he was asked to stay at home. But, after his case Won International support, the management has now relented, and found him this new office. I have only been here one day, so its a bit difficult for me to express any particular concerns, but i think that they will try to make me at home. The journey from home will be much quicker. Reaching his old office involved a 90 minute commute, ona train and two buses. The University Says they have always had his interests at heart. First of all, its closer to his residence, so its easier for him to commute. Secondly, there is an office very close to it, manned most of the time, so we can keep an eye on him and make sure he is ok. Having forced to give up his other love, of acting, Professor Goodall is determined to keep his mind active. But at 102, he is not out yet. Christmas came early for this giant panda. Keepers at taronga zoo put a snowman to offer him enrichment. He wasnt enjoying the winter weather, but he is now.

Spells of wet and very windy weather on the cards, certainly very windy weather across the north of the uk. And it is going to be very windy overnight across scotland and Northern Ireland. Frequent showers here, especially in scotland with snow over the higher ground. A few showers across Western Britain as well, but i think forfor the midlands, the south and the east it will stay dry. Quite chilly, temperatures not far off freezing by the end of the night, and mist and fog falling too. Across the north it will remain very windy. Icy patches to watch out for. These showers will be wintry, snow on the high ground down to lower levels as well. Plenty of showers across Northern Ireland, some of them moving across the irish sea into north west england, for wales, and into south western england as well. Now, for the midlands eastwards, though, it is a dry start, really chilly, but at least it will be bright through the morning, with some sunshine around. But watch out for the mist and fog In The South East corner. Some of it could be quite dense. But i dont think it will last that long, because the breeze will continue to pick up all the while. So that should clear. Showers will continue to move eastwards, but i think many southern and eastern areas will remain dry. Those showers becoming fewer as we head towards the afternoon. Frequent across the north, heavy ones with hail and thunder mixed in, some snow to the high ground, feeling really cold and raw because of the strong wind. And then it gets worse as we heading towards friday. The met office has issued amber be prepared warnings are being issued for the second named storm of the season. Storm barbara will impact the uk as we head towards friday.

We are looking at gusts up to 90 miles an hour across the northern mainland of scotland, 80 mph for the western isles, 70 mph for Northern Ireland and 60 mph potentially, for northern wales and north west england. This is likely to be very disruptive. Keep tuned to the weather forecast. As we head through Christmas Eve it remains very windy. The best of the weather across the south, fairly mild with some sunshine, but we will still see gales and showers across the north, with a wintry mix over the high ground. Christmas day, we are looking at very windy weather across the north, with a spell of rain which will spread right across the uk.
