Amazon has teamed up with police in the US in an effort to stop thieves who steal parcels left outside homes. Officers in New Jersey are planting dummy boxes fitted with GPS trackers, coupled with hidden doorbell cameras, at homes around the city of Jersey. The homes selected for the experiment were chosen using the city's own crime statistics combined with mapping data of theft locations supplied by Amazon. One box was stolen three minutes after it was "delivered". Amazon told AP: "We appreciate the increased effort by local law enforcement to tackle package theft and remain committed to assisting however we can." The US Postal Service expects to deliver about 900 million packages in the run-up to Christmas. Last year, Amazon launched a service called Amazon Key that allowed homeowners with smart locks to let couriers open their doors via an app and leave parcels inside. While that may be a step too far for many, there are other ways to protect deliveries: Have them delivered to a workplace or a friend who is home during the day Insist that deliveries must be signed for Install cameras that will give police some video evidence Use a service that provides a storage box drivers can unlock by entering a code on a keypad Amazon also provides lockers for people to pick up parcels in locations such as shopping centres, convenience stores, airports, train stations and universities.

The calorie content of meals in UK restaurants is "excessive" and sit-down restaurants are unhealthier than fast-food chains, BMJ research suggests. Health experts say meals should not exceed 600 calories, but in this study they averaged 1,033 in restaurants and 751 in fast-food chains. University of Liverpool researchers analysed thousands of meals from places like Hungry Horse and McDonald's. They said their findings were a cause for concern. The research team looked at more than 13,500 meals on the menus of 21 sit-down restaurants and six fast-food chains. By using online company information on calorie content, only one in 10 meals was classed as healthy or fewer than 600kcal, as recommended by Public Health England. And nearly half of the meals contained 1,000kcal or more. Sit-down restaurants were five times more likely to offer high-calorie meals of 1,000kcal or more than fast-food restaurants, the research found. Dr Eric Robinson, lead researcher from Liverpool's department of psychological science, said the results were "shocking" but probably underestimated the calories consumed in restaurants. "We don't know about energy intake but 'plate clearing' is a common behaviour. "Our analysis did not include drinks, starters, desserts or side orders." Hungry Horse restaurants had the highest average meal calorie content of 1,358kcal. Chains including Flaming Grill, Stone House and Sizzling Pubs were not far behind, with an average of 1,200kcal per meal. KFC topped the fast-food list with an average of 987 calories per meal offered. Burger King, McDonald's and Subway were around 700kcal. Even when the study compared similar meals, the energy content in restaurant meals was greater. Burger meals in restaurants contained an average of 414kcal more than burger meals in fast-food chains, while salad meals in restaurants were slightly higher in calories on average than fast food salads. Dr Robinson said portion size, the ingredients used and cooking methods could explain the difference, but he said the food industry had to make changes. "It's really clear what the food industry need to do. They need to act more responsibly and reduce the number of calories that they're serving." Hungry Horse said it offered something for everyone at good value. A spokesperson for the chain said: "We have been working hard to increase the range of lower calorie options, including recently launching a dedicated Live Well range with dishes under 600 calories, and we are committed to further changes." The government is currently consulting on a plan to introduce mandatory calorie labelling in restaurants, takeaways and cafes, which is likely to finish in the new year. 'Prices going up' Kate Nicholls, chief executive of trade association UKHospitality, said restaurants, pubs and other hospitality businesses were already taking action to reduce calories and offer healthier dishes - but there were costs to consider too. "Proposals to shrink the size of dishes or cap calories would be yet another burden for hard-pressed operators to absorb, resulting in prices going up and investment in businesses going down; inevitably negatively impacting the overall customer experience." Dr Robinson said research showed that meals eaten out of the home contained more calories and with more people having restaurant food delivered to their homes using online services, the problem could be getting worse. The study relied on information provided online by restaurant chains on calorie content. Very few provided calorie labelling on their menus. The researchers said it was possible the fast-food sector was now offering more lower-energy meals and healthier options, after pressure from campaigners to do so.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says his team are "far" from being built in his own image as he prepares to face Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. United are 16 points behind leaders Liverpool, having won just one of their previous five Premier League games. Mourinho, who took over as manager in May 2016, conceded: "We have doubts about everything. "But we are going with the players we have available and a team capable of going there to fight for the victory." Mourinho won the EFL Cup and Europa League in his first season in charge at Old Trafford. Since then, the team's style has been questioned and there have been criticisms of his record signing Paul Pogba, who cost £89m and Romelu Lukaku, who cost £75m. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been praised for the way in which his team is playing, but they are yet to win a trophy under the German, who took over in October 2015. However, he guided them to the 2016 League Cup and Europa League final, and last season's Champions League final, where Liverpool lost 3-1 to Real Madrid. When asked if the amount of money his north-west rivals had spent last season was the difference between the two teams, Mourinho replied: "It's not just about spending money and reinforcing the squad, a football team is more than that. "It's like a house. it's not just about buying the furniture, you have to do work, you spend money on the best possible furniture and then you're ready to live in an amazing house." Asked if winning trophies matter, Mourinho said: "I think trophies matter, it matters, especially when you have the potential to fight for trophies and especially when you clearly say the objective is to win the trophy. "I think sometimes to just say it is not very intelligent, but when you have the potential, you have nothing to hide, you know from day one your potential and your desire has a relation with the potential."

Theresa May has said it is still possible to get the assurances MPs need to back her Brexit deal despite EU leaders ruling out any renegotiation. Speaking at a summit in Brussels, she said there was still "work to do" but there had been progress and talks over "further clarification" would continue. The UK PM admitted having a "robust" discussion with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. He urged more clarity from the UK after "nebulous and imprecise" debate. Pooled video footage of the two of them caught a tense exchange on Friday morning after his remarks. Mrs May told reporters: "I had a robust discussion with Jean-Claude Juncker - I think that's the sort of discussion you're able to have when you have developed a working relationship and you work well together. "And what came out of that was his clarity that actually he'd been talking - when he used that particular phrase - he'd been talking about a general level of debate." The UK prime minister travelled to Brussels to make a special plea to EU leaders after delaying Tuesday's Commons vote on the deal, in anticipation of a heavy defeat. She then went on to win a confidence vote brought by her own MPs but vowed to listen to the concerns of the 37% of Tory MPs who voted against her. Many of them are concerned that the controversial "backstop" plan in the withdrawal agreement Mrs May has negotiated, which is aimed at preventing a hard border in Northern Ireland, would keep the UK tied to EU rules indefinitely and curb its ability to strike trade deals. If this meeting was meant to provide Theresa May with the beginnings of an escape route from her Brexit conundrum, the signs are nothing less than awful. At one of her most vulnerable political moments, Number 10 was hopeful at least of an indication of a potential solution to the most intense of a long list of Brexit problems - the controversial so-called backstop, designed to guarantee there would be no hard Irish border. But right now, that's simply not on offer. EU leaders made it plain that their warnings - that their divorce deal with Britain was not up for negotiation - were real. Mrs May said she was "crystal clear" to EU leaders about the need for assurances on the backstop and welcomed commitments by other EU leaders to try to get a new trade deal in place "speedily" so that the backstop would not be needed. She said that, as formal conclusions from the summit, they had "legal status" but added: "There is work to be done. It is clear we can look at this issue of further clarification. We will be working expeditiously over the coming days to seek those further assurances I believe MPs will need." On Thursday evening, European Council president Donald Tusk said the withdrawal agreement was "not open for renegotiation" while Mr Juncker said: "Our UK friends need to say what they want, instead of asking us to say what we want, and so we would like within a few weeks our UK friends to set out their expectations for us, because this debate is sometimes nebulous and imprecise and I would like clarifications." Mrs May said she had held discussion with both on Friday and added: "The EU is clear, as I am, that if we are going to leave with a deal, this is it. But my discussions with colleagues today have shown that further clarification and discussion following the council's conclusions is, in fact, possible." But Labour's Shadow Brexit Secretary Sir Keir Starmer said it was now clear that Mrs May would not get any "meaningful changes to her Brexit deal" and she should now push ahead with the Commons vote on it next week. And Conservative Brexiteer Mark Francois told the BBC: "It is as plain as a pikestaff that this will never get through the House of Commons... the prime minister, I'm afraid, is completely boxed in." The Democratic Unionist Party, on whom Theresa May relies for her Commons majority, said the EU's response was unsurprising and Mrs May must not "roll over as has happened previously". "The EU are doing what they always do," said the party's leader Arlene Foster. "The key question is whether the prime minister will stand up to them."

Even if its underpinnings are similar to what the hatchback model has, Ford will want to give this model its own visual identity to try to make it seem related to its other pickup models (which get different styling compared to its non-pickup range). Essentially, we believe the Focus-based pickup will not really look like a Focus, but maybe a combination of Focus and current Ford pickup design, like the vehicle in our exclusive rendering. Ford could increase the Ranchero pickup’s wheelbase too, in order for it to have enough space for passengers and a bed that’s a usable size. We feel that our artist’s interpretation is a very accurate representation of what it could realistically be like. 2022 FORD RANCHERO INTERIOR Ford could go in many directions with the Ranchero’s interior, but it probably won’t be all that different to what you see in the Focus or the Kuga/Escape crossover. However, its interior design could have a more rugged feel and some different pieces of trim and buttons, to reflect its tougher pickup nature. 2022 FORD RANCHERO DRIVETRAIN Ford has a wide range of engines that could end up powering the Ranchero (if it is indeed what they’ll end up calling it). Anything is possible under the hood of this model, from the new 1.5-liter EcoBoost turbo to the larger 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbo and maybe, why not, the 2.3-liter turbo from the Mustang and Focus RS to power the hot Ranchero Raptor model. There is no all-wheel-drive version of the Focus available, not even for the crossover sized Focus Active (essentially just a raised Focus wagon with body cladding and minimal styling changes), but we imagine Ford would offer at least optional all-wheel drive for the Ranchero. Even a diesel engine is possible and would make a lot of sense from an efficiency standpoint because, even with the bad press oil burners have been receiving recently, you still cannot match the extreme level of fuel-sipping you can achieve with one. Even a hybrid or plug-in variant is not out of the question, although it’s probably less likely to happen since Ford doesn’t seem that eager to electrify its pickup range. 2022 FORD RANCHERO PRICES If Ford were to make this new Focus-based Ranchero pickup, it’d probably have to cost under $20,000 for the basic version and probably around double that if they decide to make a hot Ranchero Raptor out of it.

Pep Guardiola said Manchester City's qualification for the Champions League last 16 was an "incredible success" as they finished top of Group F with a 2-1 win over Hoffenheim. Leroy Sane scored twice as last season's quarter-finalists reached the knockout round for the sixth successive season. "The managers are so good and the best teams in Europe are here," the City manager said. "Some big, big teams have gone out. Inter Milan are an exceptional team but they are in the Europa League. "In one day you sleep a little bit and you will be in the Europa League, so that is why I am so, so glad to be in the last 16." City created most of the several clear-cut chances in an entertaining encounter, but only came to life after Hoffenheim took the lead through Andrej Kramaric's 16th-minute penalty. Gabriel Jesus and Nicolas Otamendi hit the post with headers for the home side, while John Stones had one brilliantly saved by the well-worked Oliver Baumann. The equaliser came when Sane fired in a fierce 25-yard free-kick in first-half stoppage time. His second of the game - and eighth of the season - came just after the hour mark when he finished off a swift counter-attack. City are the only one of the four qualified English teams to win their group, and as a result can only draw one of four teams in the last 16 - Atletico Madrid, Schalke, Roma or Ajax. Early jolt for City Any hopes City had of an easy ride against opponents with faint hopes of a Europa League spot were extinguished early. The three-man defence was put on the backfoot with former Leicester forward Kramaric leading the early assaults. He first tested the City goal with a rising drive before an exquisite effort was thwarted by the athleticism of Ederson. City rode their luck for 16 minutes until Aymeric Laporte pushed over Benjamin Hubner six yards from goal and conceded a penalty. Kramaric stepped up to slot in his ninth goal in nine games for club and country. However, that strike had an undesired effect for Hoffenheim as City's attack moved up the gears. Super Sane leads fightback The German side were under incessant pressure for the rest of the game and Jesus, Otamendi and Stones had gone close before Sane equalised with a breathtaking strike. They should have added to the lead after the break when Raheem Sterling broke clear from the edge of the area with Sane and Bernardo Silva in support. The England winger passed to Sane, who instead of shooting elected to play the ball square to Silva - his shot was easily blocked by Baumann. Guardiola looked on in disbelief along with the supporters inside the Etihad Stadium. However, Sane made amends moments later when, following another break, he took the ball past Baumann and slotted in. England has a 'diamond' It must be warming for England manager Gareth Southgate to know he has so much young attacking talent coming through. At Etihad Stadium, both Phil Foden and Reiss Nelson staked claims for consideration heading into qualification for Euro 2020. The Under-21 attacking midfielders showed great endeavour and both went close to scoring. Nelson, on loan at Hoffenheim from Arsenal, came on at half-time and forced Ederson into a one-footed block before another strike was deflected wide. As for Foden, who signed a new contract at City this week, he was denied the goal of the night by Baumann, who tipped over his stinging volley. Guardiola said England has a "diamond" in Foden. "Over 90 minutes, Phil was incredible the way he played. I have never had doubts about him, and I think I never will have doubts about the quality of that guy," he added. "He is able to play with us, it does not matter where. He looks like he is skinny and not strong, but he is really really strong. "Phil is an outstanding young player and a huge talent." Man of the match - Leroy Sane (Manchester City) City field youngest English club XI since 2012 - the stats Guardiola has led his side to first place in the Champions League group stages for the ninth time in 10 seasons. Hoffenheim have both scored and conceded in all 14 of their games in all European competitions. The average age of City's starting XI was 24 years and 95 days, the youngest for an English side in the Champions League since Manchester United against CFR Cluj in December 2012 (24 years 54 days). Hoffenheim are the first side to finish bottom of their Champions League group despite scoring 10-plus goals since Olympiakos in 2002-03 (11 goals). Sane is the first German to score twice against German opponents in the Champions League since Carsten Jancker for Bayern Munich against Kaiserslautern in March 1999. Kramaric has scored in each of his last four games in the Champions League for Hoffenheim (five goals).

Google chief Sundar Pichai has faced accusations of political bias from US politicians. Mr Pichai was being quizzed by members of the House Judiciary Committee about the way his tech firm runs it business. Google was accused of having "programmed" bias against conservative views into its algorithms. Mr Pichai denied the accusation saying he had "issues" with studies that claimed to show the firm's search results excluded right-wing views. He was asked by Republican committee member Zoe Lofgren why, when she googled the word "idiot" under images, a picture of President Donald Trump came up. In response, Mr Pichai explained that keywords were matched against billions of page results and ranked for relevance, po[CENSORED]rity and how other people are using the word. Privacy protection Republican committee member Lamar Smith said conservative voices were being "muted" via Google's search results. "Such actions pose a grave threat to our democratic form of government," he said. "This does not happen by accident, it is baked in to the algorithms." Mr Pichai said independent studies had not uncovered any bias and added that his business was "transparent" about the way its search results were generated. "We evaluate our studies and our research results," said Mr Pichai. "We have a wide variety of sources, from both left and right." He added that it was "impossible" for any individual or group of individuals to mani[CENSORED]te its algorithms. In response to a further question about perceived bias, he said: "I'm confident we don't approach our work with any political bias." He added: "It's important that we look at outcomes and assess that there's no evidence of bias." Future search Mr Pichai was also asked about the work Google was doing in China on the controversial "dragonfly" project. This is believed to be a search engine drawn up under the oversight of the Chinese government that would censor topics at the behest of the regime. Mr Pichai said "the number of engineers on the project have varied over time, but at one point we had over 100 people working on it", in response to questioning from Republican committee member Keith Rothfus. Democratic committee member Sheila Jackson Lee suggested the work could "censor a Chinese person's lifeline to democracy". She asked: "How can you do that?" In response, Mr Pichai said: "Right now we have no plans to launch in China. We don't have a search product there. He said all efforts were "internal" and did not currently involve discussions with the Chinese government. "Our core mission is to provide users with access to information and getting access to information is an important human right," said Mr Pichai. "We are always compelled across the world to try hard to provide that information." In response to further questions, Mr Pichai said the company would be "fully transparent" with politicians if the company released a search service in China. Mr Pichai was questioned extensively about the amount of information that Google collected and what it did with the "mountains" of data it gathered. The Google boss said many times that it gave people "choices" about the types of data it collected and that it regularly reminded people about their privacy settings. He said 20 million people a day adjusted their privacy settings to change the types of information they let Google amass. Mr Pichai had been under growing pressure to testify after he snubbed an earlier hearing called by the Senate Intelligence Committee. Executives from Facebook and Twitter attended the September event where they faced tough questions. In a document released before his testimony, Mr Pichai paid tribute to staff at Google and said it had worked to "empower people around the world, especially in the US". The Congressional session comes the day after the search giant announced that it was shutting down its Google+ social network. The decision came after it found a vulnerability that could have exposed data on 52.2 million users.

A robot on show at a Russian state-sponsored event has turned out to be a man dressed in a costume. Robot Boris featured on Russian TV and was apparently able to walk, talk and dance. But soon after its appearance journalists began to question the bot's authenticity. In a picture published afterwards on social media, the neck of a person was clearly visible. The robot is in fact a 250,000 rouble (£2,975) costume called Alyosha the Robot, made by a company called Show Robots. While the organisers of the Proyektoria technology forum - which was aimed at youngsters - had not claimed the robot was real, the TV coverage on Russia-24 suggested it was. Russian website TJournal raised concerns about the robot asking a series of questions: why did the robot feature no sensors? how did Russian scientists get the robot made so quickly, with no papers published about it beforehand? why there has been no internet coverage of such an advanced robot? why did robot make so many unnecessary movements during its dance? why did it look like a man would fit perfectly inside it? why offer a pre-recording of its voice rather than do it live? On the website of the firm behind the Alyosha robot costume the product is described as being able to create "an almost complete illusion that you have a real robot".

Real Madrid suffered their biggest ever home defeat in Europe as they were thrashed by CSKA Moscow in the Champions League. The European champions, who had already won Group G, named a weakened team. Fedor Chalov curled home CSKA's opener against the run of play and Georgy Schennikov volleyed in a second after Mario Fernandes' shot was saved. Icelandic teenager Arnor Sigurdsson completed the convincing win with a strike from the edge of the box. Real brought on Gareth Bale at half-time and the Welshman suffered an ankle injury, although he was able to play the rest of the game after receiving treatment. The holders were booed off at full-time by their fans as they suffered a first home Champions League defeat in nine years. CSKA Moscow, whose only two group wins came against Real, are out of Europe after Viktoria Plzen beat Roma 2-1 to finish third and clinch a Europa League place. Real collapse after bright start Real - who named Thibaut Courtois, Marcelo, Isco and Karim Benzema in their starting line-up - began the game brightly. Marco Asensio forced three saves from Igor Akinfeev, with the Russian goalkeeper producing an excellent stop to deny Brazilian teenager Vinicius Jr. Federico Valverde was also frustrated by the visiting keeper. But from the moment Chalov opened the scoring after a good surging run from Sigurdsson, the hosts imploded and only had one shot on target in the second half. CSKA follow in footsteps of Italian giants CSKA are the first team to win both group games against Real since Juventus in 2008-09. Madrid had won 75 points of a possible 81 in their previous 27 home Champions League matches. Their last such defeat was 3-2 by AC Milan in October 2009. Santiago Solari has won eight of his 10 games as Real Madrid boss since replacing Julen Lopetegui, but both the other matches have been 3-0 defeats - at Eibar and now by CSKA. Roma also suffer shock defeat Italian side Roma, who had already secured second spot in the group, suffered a surprise 2-1 loss in the Czech Republic. Jan Kovarik gave Plzen the lead but Cengiz Under levelled five minutes later. Tomas Chory headed their winning goal, with Roma's Luca Pellegrini sent off in injury time for a second booking.

Teenagers who are victims of neglect, bullying, crime, family violence and sexual exploitation are more likely to self-harm and have suicidal thoughts, a study from King's College London finds. The report says the picture is complex, with other pre-existing vulnerabilities like low self-esteem or an unsupportive home also playing a part. But it says schemes to stop adolescents becoming victims may lower the risks. Suicide and self-harm are major causes of death among young people worldwide. Figures from the World Health Organization published last year show that globally: suicide and accidental death from self-harm led to an estimated 67,000 deaths this was the most common cause of adolescent mortality in 2015, after road injuries, respiratory infections and complications in pregnancy in Europe and South-East Asia, it is one of the top two causes of adolescent death self-harm largely occurs among older adolescents, and globally it is the second leading cause of death for older adolescent girls. How was the research carried out? The researchers examined material gathered from a long-term study of 2,232 twins born in England and Wales in 1994-95. They looked at a wide range of adolescent victimisation - maltreatment, neglect, sexual victimisation, family violence, peer/sibling violence, cyber-victimisation, and crime - through interviews with participants when they were 18 years old. What did the study find? The study found that more than one-third of adolescents had experienced at least one type of severe victimisation between the ages of 12 and 18 and 7% had experienced three or more severe types of victimisation. Almost a fifth (18.9%) had had some form of self-injurious thoughts and behaviours The researchers found that teenagers who were victims were much more likely than their non-victimised peers to have these sorts of thoughts. For each additional victimisation type experienced, the risk of contemplating suicide and of self-harming doubled, and the risk of attempting suicide tripled, they found. Half of adolescents exposed to three or more types of victimisation had experienced suicidal thoughts and self-harm, and a quarter had attempted suicide. The study acknowledges that "pre-existing vulnerabilities" are a major factor in these thoughts and behaviours. But, after making adjustments for family and individual vulnerabilities, victimised teens still showed an increase in suicidal thoughts (though not suicide attempts) and self-harming. What does the research call for? The study says preventing adolescents from becoming victims - for example through school-based anti-bullying schemes, family support programmes and community safety initiatives - could help reduce the likelihood of them having suicidal thoughts or self-harming. But it also concludes that effective interventions to prevent premature death in victimised adolescents should also address pre-existing vulnerabilities. Lead author Jessie Baldwin from King's College London told the BBC: "Our findings showed that victimisation in adolescence is an important risk factor for suicidal ideation, self-harm and suicide attempts. "Therefore, adolescents known to have experienced maltreatment, bullying, cyber-victimisation, and other forms of victimisation should be supported to prevent them from self-harming or taking their own lives. "Because victimised adolescents' elevated risk of self-injurious thoughts and behaviours was in part due to their pre-existing vulnerabilities, clinicians treating victimised adolescents should address these vulnerabilities. "More broadly, professionals working with young people should appreciate that victimised adolescents have a range of vulnerabilities to poor mental health and self-harm." The research paper - Adolescent victimisation and self-injury - is published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

French police have issued a call for help to find the man suspected of opening fire near a Christmas market in Strasbourg. Hundreds of police, soldiers and border agents on both sides of the Franco-German border are trying to find Chérif Chekatt, 29. Two people died and 13 were injured in the gun attack in the eastern French city on Tuesday evening. The gunman shouted "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greatest") as he opened fire. Chérif Chekatt was already known to the French authorities as someone who had been radicalised into following an extreme form of Islam while in prison for crimes including robbery. Police say anyone who sees the "dangerous" suspect should not approach him, but instead call an emergency hotline. How is the manhunt going? France's Interior Minister Christophe Castaner told the parliament that more than 700 police officers and other members of the security forces were searching for the gunman, who was injured in an exchange of fire with soldiers who were patrolling the Christmas market in Strasbourg when the attack occurred. Across the nearby border, German police are also conducting searches after France's Deputy Interior Minister, Laurent Nuñez, acknowledged that the gunman might no longer be in France. Border agents are also checking vehicles crossing the Rhine river, which marks the Franco-German frontier, leading to long lines of traffic in both directions. Mr Castaner said the country had moved to the highest level of alert, expanding police powers and increasing vigilance. He added that security at all Christmas markets would be stepped up. The mayor of Strasbourg, Roland Ries, has said the Christmas market there will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday, with flags lowered to half-mast at the local town hall. How did the attack unfold? At about 20:00 local time (19:00 GMT) on Tuesday, a man opened fire close to Strasbourg's famed Christmas market near one of the central squares, Place Kléber, which attracts thousands of visitors. France's anti-terror prosecutor Rémy Heitz said two people were killed and one was left brain-dead in the hail of bullets. Twelve other people were wounded, six of them seriously, he added. The suspect was armed with a gun and a knife and escaped the area after commandeering a taxi, Mr Heitz said. As he fled he came into contact with four soldiers, Mr Heitz said, and began firing at them. The soldiers fired back, apparently hitting him in the arm. The attacker boasted to the taxi driver that he had killed 10 people, and also said he had been injured during a firefight with soldiers. He ordered the taxi driver to drop him in the vicinity of the police station in the Neudorf area. When he got out the vehicle, he fired at police officers before escaping into the night. Four people connected to the suspect had been detained overnight in Strasbourg, Mr Heitz said. Sources close to the investigation quoted by Reuters news agency said they were the suspect's mother, father and two brothers. What do we know about the suspect? According to police, Chérif Chekatt was born in Strasbourg and was already known to the security services as a possible Islamist terrorist threat. He was the subject of a "fiche S", a watch list of people who represent a potential threat to national security. He has 27 convictions for crimes including robbery spanning France, Germany and Switzerland, and has spent considerable time in prison as a result. Police were seeking him on Tuesday morning in connection with another case, but did not find him at home. A search of his apartment in Neudorf revealed a grenade, a rifle, four knives - two of which were hunting knives - and ammunition. 'Weary and deflated' By Damian Grammaticas, Strasbourg Strasbourg's famous Christmas market is now a gloomy place. The lines of wooden huts are all shuttered. The owner of one told us how he had to flee when he heard the gunshots and take shelter in a local bar. "We're all shaken up," he said. At this time of year, the place should be thronged with people who come from far and wide to sightsee and shop, buying everything from hot sausages to souvenirs. Now there's a weary, deflated feeling. Police stand guard at cordoned off alleyways. "Everyone was shouting, everyone was running, running, afraid," said one eyewitness who'd seen the gunman shooting randomly. Strasbourg has been a target for failed terror attacks before. But now it's happened, people here are hurt and outraged. As one said: "It's shameful." Who are the victims? Anupong Suebsamarn, 45, a tourist from Thailand, has been named by Thai media as one of the dead. He is believed to have been on holiday with his wife. The Italian foreign ministry has said one of the injured is an Italian journalist who was covering the European parliament, but declined to confirm media reports that he was in a serious condition. One soldier was slightly injured by a ricocheting bullet during an exchange of fire with the gunman. Why is Strasbourg a target? Strasbourg has been the target of jihadist plots in the past. Not only does it have one of France's oldest Christmas markets, but it is the official seat of the European Parliament. That parliament was in session at the time of Tuesday evening's attack. In 2000, the Christmas market was at the centre of a failed al-Qaeda plot. Ten Islamist militants were jailed four years later for their part in the planned New Year's Eve attack. However, MEPs were determined to carry on the morning after the attack, with German MEP Jo Leinen posting a picture of singing and Christmas lights in the European Parliament.
