aned hotel in new orleans is linked to the incident. the courts in south korea have issued an arrest warrant for the president. we visit a site in the south of england for hundreds of dinosaur footprints have been found. hello. i'm martine croxall. president biden says the man who drove a pickup truck into a crowd of people new orleans, killing 15 people, and injuring at least 35, posted videos indicating support for the islamic state group "mere hours" before the attack. the victims were walking through bourbon street — in the central french quarter of new orleans — an area famous for its nightlife — in the early hours of new year's day. the fbi identified the attacker as 42—year—old shamsud—dinjabbar — a us citizen and army veteran from texas,

who served in afghanistan. he was killed in a shootout with police in which two officers were injured. authorities say the attack was an act of terrorism, and believe jabbar wasn't the only one responsible. this picture from social media, checked by our bbc verify team, shows heavily armed officers — surrounding a pick—up truck — directly after the attack. an is flag for was found in the vehicle — along with potential explosive devices. from new orleans, tom bateman reports. shamsud—dinjabbar, now the focus of an intensive fbi investigation, the man believed to be responsible for this new year's day attack. just after 3am chaos unfolds. the first signs of panic as police race to the scene. what they find, much of which is too graphic to show, is the immediate aftermath of a ramming attack. this is where the attack began. that white pick—up truck moving down this street

towards the direction we are in, slowly at first, before getting to the junction here with bourbon street, this very famous thoroughfare in the historic part of new orleans. it took a right and accelerated quickly down the street behind that police truck there. last night president biden said he was being briefed by the authorities. the law enforcement and intelligence community are continuing to look for any connections, associations, or co—conspirators. we have nothing additionally to report at this time. dozens were wounded in this attack, including two police officers hit by gunfire. police evacuated a wide area and say they found a potential explosive device in the truck, and other possible devices outside it, before they carried out controlled explosions. the fbi says the attack is being investigated as an act of terrorism. an isis flag was located on the trailer of the vehicle and the fbi is working

to identify the subject's potential associations with terrorist organisations. weapons and improvised explosive devices, ieds, were located in the subject's vehicle. others were located in the french quarter. investigators are scouring the scene for clues as further details emerge about shamsud—dinjabbar, including his us military background, while trying to establish who else may have been involved. tom bateman, bbc news, new orleans. our correspondent carl nasman is in new orleans and he has sent this update. this area here in the heart of the french quarter, bourbon street, still an active crime scene. still though some of those details are a bit murky, including when it comes

to those co—conspirators. some cctv footage appears to show several individuals around some of the suspected explosive devices found outside of the vehicle. we do understand those individuals are no longer of interest. but this investigation does continue to expand, even to other locations. two miles from where we are here in new orleans, a rental property believed to have been used by the suspect, potentially even for bomb—making. and a third location in another state, in houston, texas, where the suspect is from, there are authorities searching a property they believe to be his home. the people living here or grieving. this was not the new year celebration they were hoping for. but the city showing signs it is trying to get back to what it does best witches have fun. people are merging back onto the streets tonight, fun, listening to music, some dancing and the

the latest. this eyewitness video shows the tesla cybertruck engulfed in flames after exploding outside the trump international hotel in las vegas. smoke was seen coming from the electric vehicle shortly after it stopped by the hotel glass entrance early on new year's day. it had been carrying fuel canisters and large fireworks. when a 2024 tesla cybertruck pulled into the area of the trump international hotel, very quickly thereafter that the driver, who was the sole occupant of the truck, we saw what looked like maybe some sort of smoke, and then the truck exploded. the driver was killed and seven other people suffered minor injuries. the blast happened hours after the vehicle attack in new orleans, raising the question of a possible connection. we believe this is an isolated incident. we do not believe there are folks out there supporting this or helping this, and we don't believe there is any other danger to the community right now. elon musk, the boss of tesla, posted on x to clarify

the cause of the inferno. the police said questions remained, given that the explosion involved a tesla vehicle outside a trump hotel. elon musk is a close ally of the president elect, who is a part owner of the hotel. president biden said the intelligence community was investigating the explosion, but he added that so far there was nothing to report on a possible connection with the attack in new orleans. peter bowes, bbc news. three days of national mourning have been declared in montenegro after a gunman killed 12 people, including two children, in a series of shootings in a town in the south of the country. police have issued this picture of the suspect — who they've identified as aleksander martinovic, who was 45 years old. he took his own life after the shootings. police say he had been drinking

heavily before becoming involved in an argument at a bar. he later returned with a weapon and opened fire, with the bar's owner among the dead. he then killed further victims, including members of his and the bar owner's family, at three other locations. several other people suffered life—threatening injuries in his attack. montenegro's prime minister says he will take steps to tighten his country's laws on gun ownership. south korean police say they've raided muan airport and the offices ofjeju air in the capital seoul as they continue their investigation into sunday's plane crash. local media say a warrant was issued to the airline on charges of professional negligence resulting in death. 179 people were killed when the passengerjet crash—landed and slid into a wall, bursting into flames. many questions remain unanswered and investigators are looking at whether a bird strike or weather conditions were responsible.

here is the scene live in muan. this is the county where officials have been deployed to the crash site to help investigate the cause of the crash and it was at moran international airport where the 737 800 plane travelling from bangkok crash landed and we are just hearing via the afp news agency that the chief executive ofjeju air has been banned from leaving south korea after this crash and they are quoting local police. let's speak to aviation expert geoffrey thomas. thank you forjoining us. investigators extracting data from the black box, just explain why this box is so important. explain why this box is so important-— explain why this box is so imortant. ., , , important. the two black boxes are critical _

important. the two black boxes are critical to _ important. the two black boxes are critical to most _ are critical to most investigations and especially this investigation. there are two black boxes which for the viewers, are actually orange or red in colour. one is the cockpit voice recorder which records the last two hours of conversation and the digital flight data recorder is the heartbeat of the aeroplane and monitors every major system on the aircraft. and that has a capacity of up to 25 hours of recording. the cockpit voice recorder as you suggest, it has been downloaded and they are working on the transcript of that and we expect that to be released within the next day or so. the digitalflight released within the next day or so. the digital flight data recorder was damaged and that has been flung to the united states to washington, dc to the national transportation safety board offices in washington to be processed there. by the experts. but they are critical

to the investigation. because sadly, as we know, the pilots and most of the passengers perished in this crash so what went on in the cockpit will be pivotal to the investigation. we know there was a bird strike but we don't know how badly damage the aircraft and its engines were from that but the very big focus now will be on understanding what the pilots did what pressure they were under, what systems were failing and how they reacted to the situation and what drove their decision—making. haifa their decision-making. how carefully — their decision-making. how carefully did _ their decision-making. how carefully did these - their decision-making. how carefully did these black - their decision—making. how carefully did these black boxes have to be handled? you are trying to preserve as much information as possible? they are made _ information as possible? they are made of— information as possible? they are made of very _ information as possible? they are made of very sturdy - information as possible? they are made of very sturdy staffl are made of very sturdy staff and as part of the certification of a black box they have to withstand a force of 3500 cheese, that is units

of 3500 cheese, that is units of gravitational force. and they also must be able to withstand temperatures of 2000 fahrenheit 1100 fahrenheit for a period of one hour so they are basically indestructible. especially the central memory units in the inside. the back of the black box can look as if it has been bashed about but there are three different layers of protection and they are virtually indestructible. we appreciate your insights, thank you so much. let's show you those pictures now from the south korean capital of seoul. the impeached president, people are holding a rally in support of him. yoon

officials are working to figure out the origins of that. on the back of the truck officials tell us and isis flag flying on a trailer hitch. the fbi is still working to determine any potential associates because there are still a lot of angles here at play and one of them is that investigators say they found several improvised explosive devices throughout the french quarter although they would not relate whether that was related to this attack and they are investigating any associates the perpetrator may have had in order to help him carry out this brutal attack. what more is being learnt about the suspect?— what more is being learnt about the suspect? right now they are lookin: the suspect? right now they are looking into _ the suspect? right now they are looking into two _ the suspect? right now they are looking into two areas _ the suspect? right now they are looking into two areas of - looking into two areas of importance, one is what could be his home in houston, texas, federal investigators have been there for several hours, trying
