Gunmen went on a shooting rampage in a shopping mall in the southern German city of Munich on Friday, killing many people, police said.
Authorities were evacuating people from the Olympia mall but many others were hiding inside.
A Munich police spokeswoman said multiple people were killed or wounded.
"We believe we are dealing with a shooting rampage," the spokeswoman said.
More than one gunman was believed to be involved and no one had been arrested, she said.
NTV television reported that German police special forces had arrived at the scene.
It was not immediately clear who carried out the attack, which took place a week after an ax-wielding teenager went on a rampage on a German train. Islamic State claimed responsibility for that attack. 👀 Rock54: Caution(BBR-MD5:1777ba470a0705a8ff6b3177e04ccfb6) 0034名無しさん2016/07/23(土) 02:49:56.41 Employees still hiding out inside Munich shopping mall

Downpatrick: Man dies in clay pigeon shooting 'accident'
A man has died in a suspected shooting accident at a clay pigeon shooting event in County Down, police have said.
It happened near Downpatrick on Sunday afternoon. They said the man, who was in his 60s, died after a "firearm was discharged".
Detective Inspector Will Tate said: "We will be conducting a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding this death."
He added: "Initial enquiries would indicate this to be a tragic accident".
South Down MP Margaret Ritchie, SDLP, said, she was "deeply saddened" to learn of the death.
"Undoubtedly, the family and friends of this man are experiencing unspeakable grief and my deepest sympathies are with them at this time," she said.
"The local community in Downpatrick and further afield will stand shoulder to shoulder with the family of the bereaved and friends on this tragic occasion."
Mrs Ritchie's MLA colleague, Colin McGrath, said a robust safety investigation should be carried out to maximise safety and ensure such an accident does not happen again. 0052名無しさん2016/07/25(月) 09:13:38.49 Downpatrick arts centre

An explosion in the German city of Ansbach, near Nuremberg, has killed a suspected bomber and injured 12 other people, three seriously, police say.
They said a man - "according to our current knowledge the perpetrator" - had died in the blast.
The intended target was not clear but about 2,000 people have been evacuated from a nearby open-air music festival, the Bavarian interior ministry said.
It is third attack in the state of Bavaria in the past week.
A shooting rampage in Munich on Friday left nine dead while an axe attack on a train a week ago in Wuerzburg injured several people.
One dead, 10 injured in blast near Nuremberg, Germany: police
An explosion killed at least one person and injured 10 others near the German city of Nuremberg on Sunday in what authorities said was believed to be an intentional blast.
It was the fourth violent incident in Germany in a week and came as the country was still on edge after the killing of nine people by an 18-year-old Iranian-German gunman in Munich on Friday.
The blast in the town Ansbach prompted the evacuation of more than 2,000 people from a nearby music festival, authorities said.
"We assume it was a deliberate explosion," a Bavarian Interior Ministry spokesman said.
He said no arrests had been made in connection with the explosion but Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann was en route to the site.
The mayor of Ansbach told reporters the blast was caused by an explosive device, according to the Nordbayern.de news website.
Police offered no immediate details on the individual killed or those injured but said the explosion, inside a restaurant according to local media, was reported at 10:12 p.m. (4.12 p.m. ET). 0056名無しさん2016/07/25(月) 10:32:43.32>>55 Earlier on Sunday, a 21-year-old Syrian refugee was arrested after killing a pregnant woman in a machete attack that killed one woman in Reutlingen, near Stuttgart.
That attack came after a refugee from Pakistan wielding an ax injured five people near Wuerzbuerg, also in southern Germany, before he was shot dead by police on July 18.
Ansbach is home to a U.S. Army base and the 12th Combat Aviation Brigade. A spokesman at the base said the base had no information about the explosion.

Japan knife attack: 19 killed at care centre in Sagamihara
Nineteen people have been killed in a knife attack at a care centre for people with mental disabilities in Japan, officials say.
The attack in Sagamihara, west of Tokyo, happened in the early hours of Tuesday. Another 26 people were injured, 20 seriously.
It is is the worst mass killing in Japan since the end of World War Two.
Police arrested a man who allegedly admitted to the killings at a nearby police station shortly afterwards.
The 26-year-old former employee of the care facility, named in local media as Satoshi Uematsu, is reported to have told police he wanted disabled people to disappear.
The Tsukui Yamayuri Garden facility, where the attack happened, is a care centre set on extensive grounds with separate living quarters for men and women. It had about 160 residents at the time of the attack, according to local officials.
Reports say the attacker entered the facility at about 02:30 local time (17:30 GMT) and began stabbing people inside. Eight staff members were on duty at the time at the centre. 0060名無しさん2016/07/26(火) 10:56:05.01>>59

Mass killings are rare in Japan, which has extremely strict gun control laws. In 2008, a man drove a truck into a packed shopping district at Akihabara in Tokyo, before climbing out and randomly stabbing people. Seven people died.
Ship hits wall of Panama Canal renewing design concerns
A Chinese container ship has hit a wall of the recently-widened Panama Canal, amid concerns that it has less space for manoeuvres and could be unsafe.
It is the third accident of this kind since the multi-million dollar expansion opened a month ago.
Workers groups say the new locks are too small for safe operations now that the canal can take ships three times larger than before.
The Panama Canal authority says it is investigating the incidents.
Panama canal design prompts concerns
The canal from the air
The Xin Fei Zhou, owned by China Shipping Container Lines, suffered a large gash in its hull and is now undergoing repairs.
The new locks are designed for ships to use tugboats to guide them through the canal.
In the old canal locomotives (known as "mules") would keep the ships correctly aligned as they passed through.
A study for the International Transport Workers' Federation released earlier this year concluded that the new lock chambers were too small for the tugboats to be able to manoeuvre properly.
Work on the expansion began in September 2007 and was originally planned to finish in 2014.
Following delays caused by construction workers' strikes and disputes over cost overruns, the date for completion was pushed back to April 2016.
Tue Jul 26, 2016 11:08am EDT Related: World Elderly priest killed in French church, attack claimed by Islamic State
Assailants linked to Islamic State slit the throat of an elderly priest and took several worshippers hostage in a French church on Tuesday before police shot the attackers dead.
It was the latest in a wave of attacks in Europe inspired by the Islamist militant group based in Iraq and Syria that is on the defensive against a U.S.-led military coalition in which France is a major partner.
Police said the knifemen entered the church during morning mass near the northern city of Rouen, west of Paris, killing Father Jacques Hamel, an 85-year-old parish priest, and taking four other people hostage, one of whom was seriously wounded.
Police shot the attackers dead as they emerged from the church with their hostages.
Speaking at the scene of the attack in the Normandy town of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, President Francois Hollande said Islamic State had declared war on France and the state should "use all its means" within the law to fight the militant group, against which France has launched air strikes in Syria and Iraq.
The president called it a "dreadful terrorist attack" and told reporters the attackers had pledge allegiance to IS. The IS news agency Amaq said two of its "soldiers" were involved.
"The threat remains very high," Hollande said.
The attack was the latest in a string of deadly assaults including the mass killing in Nice, southern France, on Bastille Day 12 days ago and four incidents in Germany, most recently a suicide bombing at a concert in Ansbach on Sunday.
IS has called for its supporters to take action with any available weapons targeting countries that it has been fighting.
The investigation was handed to the anti-terrorist unit of the Paris prosecutor's office. 0064名無しさん2016/07/27(水) 00:36:37.18>>63
Several French media reported that one of the knifemen was a local man who had spent a year in jail on his return from Turkey after being intercepted trying to travel to Syria, but had been freed on bail with an electronic tag pending trial for alleged terrorism offences.
The prosecutor's office said the identification of the two suspects was still under way and it was too early to jump to conclusions about a possible link.
France church attack: Priest killed by two 'IS soldiers'
An 84-year-old priest was killed and four other people taken hostage by two armed men who stormed his church in a suburb of Rouen in northern France.

President Francois Hollande, visiting the scene, in Saint Etienne-du-Rouvray, said the attackers had committed a "cowardly assassination" and France would fight IS "by all means".
Pope Francis decried the "pain and horror of this absurd violence".
UK Prime Minister Theresa May branded the attack "sickening" and offered her condolences to the people of France.
The suspect named as Adel K, aged 18, is reported to have been in custody and then placed under a control order, and had tried to enter Syria twice.
Police special forces raided a house in the suburb in the aftermath of the attack, and French prosecutors earlier said one person had been arrested. 0066名無しさん2016/07/27(水) 10:11:49.57>>65
The attack happened during morning Mass at the historic church, situated in a quiet square of St-Etienne-du-Rouvray.
A nun, who identified herself as Sister Danielle, said she was in the church at the time.
"They forced [Fr Hamel] to his knees. He wanted to defend himself, and that's when the tragedy happened," she told French media.
"They recorded themselves. They did a sort of sermon around the altar, in Arabic. It's a horror".
She said she managed to flee as they were preparing to kill him.
Elite police units, specialised in hostage-taking, surrounded the church.
President Hollande said the attackers claimed to be from the self-styled IS before they were killed by police as they came out of the church.
Knife attacker in Japan moved from jail to see prosecutors: NHK

Why is Hinkley Point C being built?
Companies and governments want Hinkley Point C (HPC) to be built.
For the UK, it will deliver 7% of our electricity when most other nuclear power stations will have closed down.

But she did propose new measures to improve security.
These include information sharing, deciphering web chatter and tackling arms sales on the internet.

Ansbach attacker: From asylum seeker to IS suicide bomber
What drives individuals to commit mass killings? 0072名無しさん2016/07/29(金) 02:23:38.44>>71 Two recent attacks in Bavaria were both by asylum seekers. A suicide bomb attack in Ansbach on Sunday that injured 15 people was carried out by a Syrian who had been denied asylum but given temporary leave to stay.
An axe and knife attack on a train in Wuerzburg on 18 July that wounded five people was carried out by an asylum seeker from Afghanistan.
Both men had claimed allegiance to so-called Islamic State.
The deadliest recent attack - in Munich on 22 July which left nine dead - was carried out by a German teenager of Iranian extraction but was not jihadist-related. 0073名無しさん2016/07/29(金) 02:25:17.73>>72 'We can do this'
Mrs Merkel, who interrupted her summer holiday to hold the news conference in Berlin, said the asylum seekers who had carried out the attacks had "shamed the country that welcomed them".
But she insisted that those fleeing persecution and war had a right to be protected, and Germany would "stick to our principles" in giving shelter to the deserving.
Referring to the attacks that have taken place in France, Belgium, Turkey, the US and elsewhere, she said "taboos of civilisation" had been broken, and they were intended to "spread fear and hatred between cultures and between religions".
But in reference to her famous phrase "Wir schaffen das" or "We can do this" - uttered last year when she agreed to take in a million migrants - Mrs Merkel said: "I am still convinced today that "we can do it".
"It is our historic duty and this is a historic challenge in times of globalisation. We have already achieved very, very much in the last 11 months". 0074名無しさん2016/07/29(金) 02:26:11.51>>73 Mrs Merkel said that "besides organised terrorist attacks, there will be new threats from perpetrators not known to security personnel".

Mrs Merkel added: "We will take the necessary measures and ensure security for our citizens. We will take the challenge of integration very seriously." 0075名無しさん2016/07/29(金) 02:29:33.67>>74 Seven deadly days

・22 July: A German teenager of Iranian extraction goes on a shooting rampage in the Bavarian state capital, Munich, killing nine people, most of them migrants, before shooting himself. He is said to have been obsessed with school shootings
・24 July: A Syrian asylum seeker is arrested in the town of Reutlingen, Baden-Wuerttemberg, after allegedly killing a Polish woman with a machete and injuring two other people. Police suggest it was probably a "crime of passion"

Clearing Germany's migrant backlog By Chris Bowlby BBC News, Bonn
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has defended her policies on refugees, in the wake of recent terror attacks. As tensions grow, the government is still trying to deal with the large number of migrants who took advantage of Germany's open borders last year.
There were endless corridors where officials bustled through with files, offices with computers, microscopes and fingerprint-readers.
I saw signs for medical centres and canteens - some places freshly painted, others still being renovated.
Security staff were watchful, translators wrestled with all kinds of languages.
In individual rooms, intense conversations were under way between officials and families about life stories and dramatic journeys.
Anxious children looked up from parental laps, some playing with toys, others restless in stuffy waiting rooms.
Waiting is the key to this place.
For this is a new centre designed to end the long wait for hundreds of thousands of people who came to Germany last year as migrants - and who do not yet know whether they will be allowed to stay. 0092名無しさん2016/07/29(金) 13:30:43.70>>91 "Welcome culture" was the phrase used as Germany suddenly opened its borders.
Since then, the flow of migrants into Germany has hugely decreased as borders have closed and agreements such as the EU's deal with Turkey have kept many would-be migrants well away from Germany.
But the legacy of last year's mass arrivals is still very tricky for Germany - and even more so given recent violent incidents, some of which have been linked to recent migrants.
I was given special access to a new centre designed to show how Germany is responding to the crisis.
In the city of Bonn, it is a centre for processing asylum applications - one of more than 20 planned to deal with a huge backlog. 0093名無しさん2016/07/29(金) 13:32:41.23>>92 The numbers are staggering.
"We are pretty certain that by the end of the year everybody who came last year will have their application decided, " I was told by Katrin Hirseland, from the Federal Ministry for Migration and Refugees (BAMF).
How many applications will have to be dealt with? "It will be somewhere between 800,000 and 1,000,000."
This presents a huge challenge for the government. How will it be done? In Bonn, the ministry has taken over the Ermekeilkaserne - once an army barracks. 0094名無しさん2016/07/29(金) 13:33:17.63>>93 It is a site full of history.
In the 1950s, when Bonn was the capital of the new West German state, the defence ministry was based here when the country was allowed an army again despite the horrors of Nazism.
Those horrors had persuaded Germany to create a generous law on political asylum for those fleeing persecution.
But it never imagined so many would come in such a short time.
Brazil's Lula faces trial linked to Petrobras scandal
Former President of Brazil Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is to go on trial for obstruction of justice in a case related to the scandal at state oil firm Petrobras, court documents show.
The multi-billion-dollar affair has already seen dozens of politicians and officials arrested.
Lula, with six others, is accused of hampering Operation Car Wash, the investigation into the scandal.
Lula, who governed Brazil from 2003 to 2011, has denied any wrongdoing.
The date for the trial has not yet been set.
Those also charged on Friday include former senator Delcidio Amaral and investment banker Andre Esteves.
They have been accused of trying to prevent former Petrobras director Nestor Cervero from testifying in a plea bargain deal.
Cervero was jailed for being the mastermind of the Petrobras scandal.

British man 'killed fighting Islamic State' in Syria
A British man has reportedly been killed while fighting with Kurdish forces against so-called Islamic State militants in Syria.
Dean Carl Evans, 22, from Reading, died on 21 July during fighting in the city of Manbij, Kurdish reports suggest.
His father, John, posted a statement on social media confirming the death and added: "He was loved and will be missed by all his family and friends".
The Foreign Office is currently looking into the reports.
In a second post, Mr Evans, who lives in Oxford, said: "I would like to say a massive big thank you to all my friends and family who sent their condolence for the loss of my son.

The brains of overweight people look "10 years older" than those of leaner peers, a study has found.
Brains naturally lose white matter - the part of the brain that transmits information - as people age.
But a Cambridge University team found that loss was exacerbated with extra weight - so an overweight 50-year-old had a lean 60-year-old's brain.
Researchers said it shows we need to know relatively more about how extra weight affects the brain.
The team, from the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience, looked at the brains of 473 people aged between 20 and 87, dividing them into lean and overweight categories.
Their findings, published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging, found significant differences in the volume of white matter in the brains of overweight people compared with leaner individuals.
Those in the overweight group had much less white matter than their thinner counterparts. 0104名無しさん@お腹いっぱい。2016/08/05(金) 10:55:10.13>>103 Middle-aged 'vulnerable'
The difference was only evident from middle-age onwards, suggesting that our brains may be particularly vulnerable during this period of ageing.
However there was no difference in how the groups fared in tests of knowledge and understanding, so the researchers say more work is needed to follow people and see who develops conditions such as dementia.
Dr Lisa Ronan, from the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge, who led the study, said it was not clear if obesity affected the brain, or vice versa.
She told the BBC: "Obesity is so complex. We know an awful lot about what it does to the body.
"But what it does to the brain and how it interacts with obesity - we're at the beginning of understanding that."
Prof Sadal Farooqi, from the Wellcome Trust Medical Research Council Institute of Metabolic Science at Cambridge University, who also worked on the study, said the work suggested the middle-aged brain could be particularly vulnerable.
"It will also be important to find out whether these changes could be reversible with weight loss, which may well be the case.

FSU said its students had already left the program for the summer and that none were involved in the incident. James Pitts, director of FSU International Programs, said in the statement the couple had planned to return to Tallahassee on Thursday. 0106名無しさん@お腹いっぱい。2016/08/05(金) 11:06:48.06 Friday's Guardian: Rates cut to an historic low on recession fear #tomorrowspaperstoday #BBCPapers
A U.S. woman was killed and five other people injured by a man with suspected mental health issues who went on a rampage with a knife in central London.
Armed police were called late on Wednesday evening after a 19-year-old Norwegian man of Somali origin began attacking people in London's Russell Square, a park near the site of a 2005 suicide bombing. Police said there was no evidence the attack was terrorism related.
The victim was identified as Darlene Horton, a woman in her 60s who was the wife of a U.S. psychology professor. She was treated at the scene but pronounced dead a short time later.
A British man who was stabbed in the stomach remains in hospital in serious but stable condition, police said. Four others - an American man, a man and a woman from Australia, and an Israeli woman - suffered stab wounds but have been released from hospital. 0108名無しさん@お腹いっぱい。2016/08/05(金) 11:18:44.41http://www.reuters.com/article/us-olympics-rio-security-idUSKCN10F1XE
Homepage | Thu Aug 4, 2016 4:33pm EDT Rio's slum 'pacification' effort stalls as killings tick up
Atop the chipped blue metal table sat two 9 mm pistols and small plastic packets of cocaine and marijuana. Two young men slouched in white plastic chairs, while a third held a rifle in a corner 10 meters away.
It was midday this week, not far from a main road in Rocinha, Rio de Janeiro's most developed and supposedly "pacified" slum that straddles a mountain and sits right between the main Barra and Copacabana Olympic zones.
A uniformed police officer stood just 150 meters away, up a sinuous, narrow asphalted lane.

The fate of Russian athletes, after accusations of widespread doping, has grabbed the headlines in the run up to the 2016 Olympics. But how long has this been an issue for? Historian David Clay Large explains that doping may go back further than we expect, even if the methods were slightly less sophisticated.

Olympic official Patrick Hickey steps down amid tickets row
Patrick Hickey, head of the Olympic Council of Ireland, has temporarily stood down from all his roles after his arrest over allegations of illegal ticket sales.
Mr Hickey, 71, was taken to hospital following his arrest at a Rio hotel after requesting medical attention.
Brazilian police claim he was involved in a scheme to resell Olympic tickets at higher than their face value.
They said the scheme could have had profits of 10m reals (£2.4m; $3.1m).
Mr Hickey will be replaced as president of the European Olympic Committees by his deputy Janez Kocijancic.
The Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) said in a statement that Mr Hickey was stepping aside "until this matter is fully resolved" and would continue to co-operate and assist with all ongoing enquiries.
Brazilian police said that when officers went to Mr Hickey's hotel room on Wednesday morning, they found his wife there with his Olympic credentials.
Mrs Hickey told them her husband had left Rio de Janeiro for Ireland at the weekend, they said.
"We noticed that there was another room in the hotel under his son's name, so we went to that room and we found Hickey by himself," Detective Ronaldo Oliveira told a press conference.
"There wasn't much in that room, not even any of his clothes. He was in his bathrobe." 0112名無しさん@お腹いっぱい。2016/08/18(木) 06:55:47.60 Press Association@PA

The first Night Tubes will roll on to London Underground platforms past midnight on Friday - almost three years since the plan was first announced.
Trains will run on the Victoria and Central lines on Fridays and Saturdays.
The plan was announced in November 2013 and intended to begin in September 2015, but strikes over pay delayed the start by nearly another year.
Transport for London said there was a "huge demand" as passenger numbers on weekends had soared by 70% since 2000.
Night Tube services are expected to add £6.4bn to the London economy by 2030, creating 500,000 jobs, TfL said.
Trains will run every 10 minutes on the full Victoria line and on the Central line between White City and Leytonstone. They will run approximately every 20 minutes between Ealing Broadway and White City and between Leytonstone and Loughton/Hainault. 0115名無しさん@お腹いっぱい。2016/09/15(木) 06:52:13.31 Behind the scenes at Washington’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, opening Sept. 24

5 things to know about the new polymer £5 note
13 September 2016 Last updated at 07:22 BST
New polymer £5 notes made out of a thin flexible plastic are being released in England and Wales today.
The new banknotes are slightly smaller than the existing paper £5 notes and have new security features to make them harder to copy.
The Bank of England, who make the bank notes, say they will be cleaner, more secure and longer lasting. 0131名無しさん@お腹いっぱい。2016/09/23(金) 21:19:11.48>>130 What happens to paper £5 notes?
Paper £5 notes are still okay to use if you have them or are given them. The Bank of England plans to gradually withdraw them as they are paid into banks by people and businesses.
More than 30 countries around the world already use polymer banknotes, including Scotland, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
The Bank of England has unveiled the design for the new plastic £5 note.
The new banknote will be smaller than the current one and be printed on a thin plastic.
For more than 100 years, English banknotes have been made from cotton paper. What is polymer?
Polymer banknotes are made from a very thin, flexible, see-through plastic film, with the design printed on special layers of ink on the front and back.
Because the main material is see-through, the design can include clear spots that are like little windows you can look straight through.
The Bank of England says that polymer banknotes will be better than paper, because they will be:
Cleaner: Shiny plastic doesn't get wet and dirty like paper.
More secure: Features like the see-through windows are difficult to copy, so it's harder for criminals to make fake notes.
Longer lasting: Plastic won't tear as easily as paper, so the notes should last longer.
They're even expected to survive if they accidentally go in the washing machine, although they'd melt under extreme heat. When will the new note be in use?
The new £5 note will be going into circulation in September this year.
And it's not just the £5 that's going plastic - polymer £10 notes are planned for 2017, and polymer £20 notes should be available by 2020. 0134名無しさん@お腹いっぱい。2016/09/28(水) 14:35:50.78 Wednesday's Daily Mail: "Now Mr Corbyn's in La La Land on migrants" http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CtZAFS-WcAAmjHw.jpg:orig#.jpg
The former Israeli PM and president, Shimon Peres, has died aged 93.
He suffered a stroke two weeks ago and his condition improved before a sudden deterioration on Tuesday.
His son Chemi led tributes to "one of the founding fathers of the state of Israel" who "worked tirelessly" for it.
Mr Peres, who was one of the last of a generation of Israeli politicians present at the new nation's birth in 1948, served twice as the country's prime minister and once as president.
He won the Nobel Peace prize in 1994 for his role negotiating peace accords with the Palestinians a year earlier.
He once said the Palestinians were Israel's "closest neighbours" and might become its "closest friends".
International prosecutors say Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was downed over eastern Ukraine in 2014 by a Buk missile that had come from Russia.
They also narrowed down the area it was fired from to a field in territory controlled by Russian-backed rebels.
All 298 people on board the Boeing 777 died when it broke apart in mid-air flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.
Russia says it cannot accept the findings as the final truth, saying no Russian weapons were taken to Ukraine.
"Based on the criminal investigation, we have concluded that flight MH17 was downed by a Buk missile of the series 9M83 that came from the territory of the Russian Federation," chief Dutch police investigator Wilbert Paulissen told a news conference on Wednesday. 0143名無しさん@お腹いっぱい。2016/09/30(金) 13:17:35.05http://www.bbc.com/news/business-37502547
EDF boss Jean-Bernard Levy joined officials from the UK, France and China at the behind-closed-doors ceremony in London on Thursday.
Earlier this month, the government gave the go-ahead for the plant which will power nearly six million homes.
It will be the UK's first new nuclear plant in a generation.
The meeting was a second attempt at finalising the deal after Prime Minister Theresa May unexpectedly announced in July that she wanted time to scrutinise it.
With her approval now granted and the contracts updated, the formal signing took place at a ceremony attended by Business Secretary Greg Clark and French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault.
China's National Energy Administration director, Nur Bekri, and the chairman of Chinese firm CGN, He Yu, also attended.
Mr Clark said that signing the contract was a "crucial moment" and that Hinkley played "an important part in ensuring our future low-carbon energy security".

The UK will begin the formal Brexit negotiation process by the end of March 2017, PM Theresa May has said.
The timing on triggering Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty means the UK looks set to leave the EU by summer 2019.
Mrs May told the Tory Party conference - her first as prime minister - the government would strike a deal with the EU as an "independent, sovereign" UK.
Voters had given their verdict "with emphatic clarity", she said, and ministers had to "get on with the job".
In a speech on the first day of the conference in Birmingham, she also gave details of a Great Repeal Bill which she said would end EU law's primacy in the UK.
She attacked those who "have still not accepted the result of the referendum", adding: "It is up to the government not to question, quibble or backslide on what we have been instructed to do, but to get on with the job." 0148名無しさん@お腹いっぱい。2016/10/03(月) 20:37:55.65http://www.bbc.com/news/health-37540927
Medicine Nobel for cell recycling work By Michelle Roberts Health editor, BBC News online
The 2016 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine goes to Yoshinori Ohsumi of Japan for discoveries about the secrets of how cells can remain healthy by recycling waste.
He located genes that regulate the cellular "self eating" process known as autophagy.
Dr Ohsumi's work is important because it helps explain what goes wrong in a range of illnesses, from cancer to Parkinson's.
Errors in these genes cause disease.
Last year's prize was shared by three scientists who developed treatments for malaria and other tropical diseases. 0149名無しさん@お腹いっぱい。2016/10/03(月) 20:39:18.39>>148
"Self-eating"
The body destroying its own cells may not sound like a good thing. But autophagy is a natural defence that our bodies use to survive.
It allows the body to cope with starvation and fight off invading bacteria and viruses, for example.
And it clears away old junk to make way for new cells.
Failure of autophagy is linked with many diseases of old age, including dementia.
Research is now ongoing to develop drugs that can target autophagy in various diseases, including cancer.
The concept of autophagy has been known for over 50 years, but it wasn't until Dr Ohsumi began studying and experimenting with baker's yeast in the 80s and 90s that the breakthrough in understanding was made. 0150名無しさん@お腹いっぱい。2016/10/03(月) 20:40:37.09>>149 Dr Ohsumi is reported to be surprised about receiving his Nobel Prize, but "extremely honoured".
Speaking with the Japanese broadcaster NHK he said that the human body "is always repeating the auto-decomposition process, or cannibalism, and there is a fine balance between formation and decomposition. That's what life is about."
Prof David Rubinsztein, an expert in autophagy at the University of Cambridge, said he was delighted that Dr Ohsumi's vital work had been recognised and rewarded.
"His pioneering work in yeast led to the discovery of the key genes and fundamental biochemical processes that are required for autophagy. 0151名無しさん@お腹いっぱい。2016/10/03(月) 20:41:54.59>>150 "As autophagy is well conserved from yeast to man, his laboratory's discoveries have also provided the critical tools to many labs to enable the appreciation of the important roles of autophagy in diverse physiological and disease processes.
"These include infectious diseases, cancers, and various neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's disease and forms of Parkinson's disease. Indeed, autophagy manipulation may provide a key strategy for treating some of these conditions."
More than 270 scientists were nominated for the prize, which was awarded at Sweden's Karolinska Institute and comes with eight million Swedish kronor (around £728,000 or$936,000 or 834,000 euros) for the winner.
The winners of the physics, chemistry and peace prizes are to be announced later this week. 0152名無しさん@お腹いっぱい。2016/10/03(月) 21:06:21.04 BBC Radio 5 live ?@bbc5live

Marmite is famously, or notoriously, binary. It's something you either love or hate. So it's appropriate that it has become the poster product for the effect of the highly divisive and binary Brexit vote.
For one day, anyway. Almost as if it were choreographed by clever PR people, Marmite, Pot Noodles, PG Tips and numerous well-known household soap brands were removed from online sale by Tesco for 24 hours of impasse with its biggest supplier, Unilever.
A day on, they kissed and made up, in a corporate way. The message to consumers was clear: prices are going up. This is not just about Unilever and not just about Tesco. Importing suppliers, for which Unilever is the biggest and most powerful for Fast-Moving Consumer Products, have to raise prices when their products hit the shores of the sterlingzone.
The question raised by the Great Marmite Famine Day is how much of that is absorbed by the importer, how much by the retailer, and how much by the consumer.
The answer will be, in most cases, a bit of all three. It depends on negotiating power, negotiation tactics and who has most room for manoeuvre.

New pound coin: Firms told to prepare for redesign
31 October 2016
Businesses should get ready now for the introduction of the new 12-sided pound coin, the Treasury has said.
A new website is urging firms to adapt their equipment and train their staff in preparation for the arrival of the new coin in March 2017.
All machines accepting cash, whether it's in exchange for a rail ticket or a chocolate bar, will have to be updated.
But for a six-month transitional period businesses will need to find ways to accept both the old and new coins.
After that the existing round pound coin will be phased out.
The website, hosted by the Royal Mint, suggests that businesses should check before March whether any of their cash handling equipment needs updating, and make sure machines that take payment in coins can handle both the old and the new versions.
They should also consider training their staff "on the features of the new £1 coin", it says.
The new coin is being introduced because approximately one in 30 pound coins currently in circulation is a fake, according to the Royal Mint and the new coins are designed to be harder to counterfeit.
"The new £1 coin will be the most secure of its kind in the world and its cutting-edge features will present a significant barrier to counterfeiters, reducing the cost to businesses and the taxpayer," said David Gauke, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury. 0201名無しさん@お腹いっぱい。2016/11/04(金) 22:43:15.11http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-37872899?ocid=socialflow_twitter&ns_mchannel=social

David Hamilton, a British photographer best known for nude images of underage girls, has died at the age of 83.
His body was found at his home in Paris on Friday evening.
Some media reports suggest he killed himself. Hamilton had recently denied accusations that he had in the past raped some of his teenage models.
Born in London in 1933, he made his name in the 1960s with soft-focus pictures of young girls, often nude, published by major magazines.
In a book published last month, prominent TV presenter Flavie Flament described being raped in the 1980s by a famous photographer, without giving a name.
Other women then levelled similar accusations. In an interview with L'Obs weekly last week, Flament named Hamilton as her attacker.
He strongly denied the accusations, and said he would sue for defamation.
