Tonight at Ten, more details emerge about the two men who murdered | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
a priest in a church in Northern France. | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
A video was published this evening apparently showing the two | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
men pledging allegiance to the Islamic State group. | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
Yesterday's attack has brought demands for tougher security | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
Pope Francis, visiting Poland, says the world is at war, | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
but he insists religion is not the cause. | :00:27. | :00:33. | |

We'll have a special report from their holding camp for you. | :01:30. | :01:56. | |
More details have emerged about the two men | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
who murdered an elderly priest in a church in Northern France. | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
Police say they're close to identifying the second attacker, | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
The group calling itself Islamic State has released video | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
footage allegedly showing the two men pledging allegiance | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
In France, there have been calls for improved security | :02:13. | :02:25. | |
at thousands of places of worship, and Pope Francis said the recent | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
attacks were proof that the world was "at war" but not | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
a war of religion, as Lucy Williamson reports. | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
France's elite police marking the site of its | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
Inside those walls, two teenagers had taken the congregation hostage, | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
knifing one man and cutting the throat of his priest. | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
Before long, the police move in, these pictures of their | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
neighbour who was woken by the noise. | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
Someone just cried "Allahu Akbar" inside the church, he | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
As amid fears that there might be explosives, the | :03:02. | :03:11. | |
Today, so-called Islamic State released a video it said was made by | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
the two attackers pledging allegiance to the group. | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
One of those men, Adel Kermiche, was a local 19-year-old | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
Last year he was arrested in Germany while trying | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
Two months later, he was caught again in Turkey and sent | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
In March this year, he was released with an electronic | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
tag which allowed him to leave his house between 8:30am and 12:30pm | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
In the streets where he grew up, former friends | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
remembered him as a well known sympathiser of IS, also known as | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
TRANSLATION: He was clearly pro-Daesh. | :03:53. | :04:01. | |
Once his parents took him to the police station. | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
They said, "Lock him up, he's going to commit a crime." | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
The police said they were already monitoring him but couldn't lock him | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
On his way to an international meeting of | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
Catholics today, Pope Francis responded to this attack on one of | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
TRANSLATION: For a long time, we have been | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
saying that the world is at war. | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
There is a war for money, for natural resources. | :04:28. | :04:36. | |
With every new target and every new location, the stakes here | :04:37. | :04:45. | |
So that the death of a local priest in this small suburban | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
church becomes a test of national resilience, | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
In Paris, the government was left defending itself against | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
the charge that its defence of France had failed. | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
But was this a failure of intelligence, security or | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
Or simply the result of freedoms the country wants to | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
TRANSLATION: Everything that can be done under the rule of law has been | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
There can still be some changes, discussions. | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
We are open to suggestions from the opposition. | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
But you cannot protect the rule of law | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
In Notre Dame, prayers to honour Father | :05:26. | :05:35. | |
Jacques Hemel and the hostages at St Etienne. | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
But faith in France's protectors is harder now, with a | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
country divided over what protection means. | :05:42. | :05:51. | |
Let's go live to Paris. Lucy, what is your sense of the progress that | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
has been made in this investigation? As you said, nothing confirmed from | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
the police yet about that second attacker but there are unconfirmed | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
reports here tonight that he might also have been flagged up to the | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
police. It is not known how he might have been radicalised but when it | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
comes to the first attacker, his former friends said he had fallen in | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
with the wrong company and that was also something that was known to the | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
security services. And I think all of this points to a key question | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
here tonight, which is, how do those security services effectively | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
monitor people who have committed no crime as yet, who was simply known | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
to be jihadi sympathisers, when there are already more than 10,000 | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
of them listed as potential threats to the state? Thank you. | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
The latest figures show that the UK economy grew in the months leading | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
up to the vote to leave the European Union. | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
According to the Office for National Statistics, | :06:52. | :06:52. | |
Gross Domestic Product grew by 0.6% in the three months to June. | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
The Government claimed the figures showed Britain was entering | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
negotiations to leave the EU from a position | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
Our economics editor, Kamal Ahmed, has more details. | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
Better figures than expected today, and an announcement | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
by London City Airport that it was expanding. | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
For the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, not exactly blue skies ahead | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
The UK economy is fundamentally strong as we go into the challenge | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
And that gives us the tools and the scope to respond | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
And do you really think, as some suggested, that we could be | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
Well, I think it's far too early to say how | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
Inevitably, people's reaction to a surprise is caution. | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
No such caution today from pharmaceutical giant | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
GlaxoSmithKline, which announced a ?275 million investment | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
But the maker of Night Nurse and Panadol did lace its good | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
This was the company, after all, that was a firm supporter | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
My guess is that we will probably see some choppy signals | :08:06. | :08:13. | |
I don't think we'll see a dramatic shift to the left or the right | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
but we will see some choppiness and some things which are indicative | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
of a bit of a slowdown, and it's likely we will see some | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
With business investment still continuing, like here | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
at London City Airport, some people might wonder, | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
what was all the fuss about with the economy | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
I think there are two big things worth considering. | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
Firstly, we are still largely looking in the rear-view mirror. | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
Most of the economic information published today | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
is actually from April, when business confidence | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
And many senior economists I've spoken to who are very close | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
to the Government warn against a false sense of security. | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
Britain is still facing uncertain times. | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
Uncertainty has been an issue for this leather company in Oxford, | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
which has found the post-Brexit world a more difficult proposition. | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
The weaker pound helps exporters like GSK. | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
Everything we buy is in dollars from South America. | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
This means there's an immediate effect of the pound is very weak, | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
so everything since the night of Brexit is costing us 14% more, | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
so this has an immediate effect on our costs. | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
Put simply, selling purses becomes more difficult, | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
and the figures post the referendum do suggest business | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
Well, the data suggests that the economy was performing well | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
What we've seen since the Brexit vote is quite a significant slowdown | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
in business sentiment, in consumer sentiment, | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
and this will have an impact on the economy over | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
Next week, the Governor of the Bank of England will announce his latest | :09:52. | :10:00. | |
The bank may even agree to cut interest rates to boost growth, | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
a move that will only come if the economic news has indeed | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
The labour leadership candidate Owen Smith has apologised for saying he | :10:10. | :10:29. | |
thinks Theresa May should smash back on her heels. He said the remarks or | :10:30. | :10:38. | |
inappropriate. He has been outlining his campaign, which includes looking | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
at the NHS in England. Our political correspondents in this report. | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
Owen Smith needs to make an impact and he's only got | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
Ladies and gentlemen, Owen Smith. | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
So today he made a direct pitch to those who last year propelled | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
Jeremy Corbyn to the party leadership. | :10:58. | :10:58. | |
We need a revolution, but not some misty eyed romantic | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
notion of a revolution, where we're going to overthrow | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
capitalism and return to a socialist nirvana. | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
But a cold-eyed, practical socialist revolution. | :11:08. | :11:19. | |
And Mr Smith showered his audience with new policy ideas. | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
The public sector pay freeze would end. | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
We would be spending an extra 4% per annum on the NHS, an equality | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
A ?200 billion promise to borrow funds at historic low rates in order | :11:31. | :11:40. | |
Mr Smith chose his words less carefully when he launched this | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
It pained me that we didn't have the strength and the power | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
and the vitality to smash her back on her heels and argue that these | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
Later he apologised for an inappropriate | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
The task for Labour is daunting, they've lost dozens of seats | :11:59. | :12:06. | |
in Scotland and elsewhere Ukip are breathing down their neck. | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
What would you do about Ukip voters, those who've left Labour, | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
in the north particularly of England? | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
Well, I'd give them hope that there's a Labour government that | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
That understands that they feel Britain's very unfair. | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
That understand that they feel that some people get a fairer crack | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
That's what Labour's about, bread-and-butter issues. | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
Simple things, but things that Labour needs to hang on to. | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
They're our ideas, we should be delivering them. | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
So what do voters make of Labour's problems? | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
I mean, I don't know this new one who has come up. | :12:41. | :12:49. | |
I've heard a couple of speeches, but I don't know him yet. | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
Yeah, I don't know him yet because they put their nice | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
suits on and they get there, and it's all spin. | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
I'm a bit disillusioned with them at the moment. | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
They're losing me with the stuff they're coming out with. | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
It's going in here and coming out here. | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
One day, Owen Smith wants to be Prime Minister, | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
but before that he has to convince Labour Party members to back him. | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
He hopes they'll look at his long list of left-wing policies and be | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
persuaded that he would present them far more effectively | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
But his supporters say he's been setting the agenda, | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
Jeremy was the person who stood alone in that at a time when it | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
wasn't fashionable and he started putting forward these policies. | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
It's quite easy for people to jump on the bandwagon now, | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
What people want is a politician who stand up for what they believe. | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
Owen Smith made his speech today on the site of a former coking | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
He believes his vision will regenerate the Labour Party. | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
The higher rate overtime bill for hospitals has risen by a third. A | :13:55. | :14:10. | |
BBC investigation has found one doctor in Lancashire and an extra | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
?375,000 over 12 months. The Department of Health said it is | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
working to reduce overtime costs in England. | :14:19. | :14:26. | |
from patients, but only a limited number of consultant doctors, | :14:27. | :14:34. | |
another sign of the pressures facing the health service across the UK, | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
and it adds up to a rising wage bill for extra overtime | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
The average basic salary for a consultant is ?89,000, | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
but across the UK extra overtime costs ?168 million last year, | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
One doctor made nearly ?375,000 in extra payments on top | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
Most consultants we know work well beyond the standard working week. | :14:51. | :14:58. | |
They work at weekends, they work at nights. | :14:59. | :15:00. | |
This work is even additional work beyond that. | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
Additional work often asked for at short notice. | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
Some Trusts are struggling to attract staff. | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
At Lancashire Teaching Hospitals, where the unnamed highest | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
earning consultant works, they've had to downgrade an A | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
To cut waiting times for operations, they're left with little choice | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
But just a few miles away, in Wigan, they've changed the way they work | :15:24. | :15:31. | |
and are saving money that was previously paid | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
Specialist nurses, like Euan, now carry out procedures that once | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
That's better for patients because they can get to see Euan | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
a lot more frequently and it saves the hospital an awful lot of money. | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
The main benefit is that we, as an organisation, have less | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
financial pressure because we're not having to pay out | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
By working together, we can solve some pretty tricky problems. | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
You know, the bottom line is, it's the patients who benefit. | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
At present each Hospital Trust can make its own arrangements on how it | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
pays consultants for extra work, reflecting the different pressures | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
So there are two big factors at play. | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
The first is in planned surgical care where often, to keep | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
within waiting times targets, consultants are having to do work | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
at weekend and need to be paid overtime for that. | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
The second, in emergency care, where often we don't | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
have enough consultants, is they have to end up covering | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
for each other within their rota and then have to be | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
In England, a new contract for consultants is being negotiated, | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
but the changes at Wigan demonstrate it is possible to cut down | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
Dominic Hughes, BBC News, Wigan. | :16:46. | :16:54. | |
For the first time in history, a woman has been nominated | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
by a major party to be President of the United States. | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
The Democratic Party has formally backed | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
Hillary Clinton as its candidate at its convention in Philadelphia. | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
23 years have passed since she first entered the White House, | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
as First Lady, with her husband, President Bill Clinton. | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
Our North America editor, Jon Sopel, has the story. | :17:14. | :17:22. | |
You felt history in the hall as the votes were cast. | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
It's 96 years since women got the vote in the US, Jerry Emmett | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
And, 51 votes for the next President of the United States | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
Then it was the turn of Vermont, home of Senator Bernie Sanders. | :17:37. | :17:49. | |
In a move that delighted the Clinton camp, he called for the rules | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
for the rules to be suspended, so she'd be elected unanimously. | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
I love that all votes, all votes cast by delegates, | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
be reflected in the official record and I move that Hillary Clinton be | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
selected as the nominee of the Democratic Party | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
The keynote speaker was an ex-President, who might just | :18:11. | :18:20. | |
Those of us who have more yesterdays than tomorrows tend | :18:21. | :18:32. | |
to care more about our children and grandchildren. | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
The reason you should elect her is that, in the greatest | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
country on earth, we have always been about tomorrow. | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
Your children and grandchildren will bless you forever if you do. | :18:43. | :18:44. | |
The one advantage the Democrats have over the Republicans is glitz. | :18:45. | :19:06. | |
Alicia Keys sang, Meryl Streep had a walk on part. | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
Eight years ago, Hillary Clinton famously said she'd made millions | :19:10. | :19:11. | |
of cracks in the glass ceiling when she'd fought Barack Obama | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
for the nomination, but now it had shattered. | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
If there are any little girls out there who stayed up late to watch, | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
let me just say - I may become the first woman President, | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
I can't wait to join you in Philadelphia. | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
Some in the hall cried with joy and relief, but the polling data | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
shows Hillary Clinton has a lot of negatives. | :19:36. | :19:37. | |
The glass ceiling that awaits her in November | :19:38. | :19:39. | |
Very high approval Railtrackings. The Hillary Clinton campaign will | :19:40. | :19:55. | |
welcome his intervention. He will talk about the character and | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
intellect you need to be President and will say Hillary Clinton's got | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
that. Donald Trump hasn't. Now, Mr Trump has caused a furore today by | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
effectively saying the Russians should commit an act of cyber | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
security and hack the emails of Hillary Clinton. You will remember | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
this Convention started with a giant hack that was blamed on the Russians | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
should commit an act of cyber security and hack the emails, | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
condemnation led by the former CIA chief. Of the Democratic National | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
Committee which was hugely embarrassing. I'm sorry, clearly, a | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
bit of a satellite issue there with the timings there with Jon. Apology. | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
I think we got the gist of what he was saying. Jon Sopel there at the | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
democratic convention in Philadelphia. | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
At least 40 people have been killed and more than 100 injuredin a bomb | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
It happened in the predominantly Kurdish town of Qamishli, | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
The blast was caused by a truck bomb which struck | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
The group calling itself Islamic State said it was responsible. | :21:04. | :21:11. | |
In Iraq, families are still grieving for the 292 people killed | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
by the Islamic State group in a bomb attack in Baghdad | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
The bombing of the shopping centre, in the Karrada district, | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
led to the highest death toll of any single attack by IS. | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
Our chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet, | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
has been back to meet some of the victims' relatives and sent | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
An elegy for the dead, some comfort for those who survive. | :21:32. | :21:44. | |
This is the street where 292 Iraqis died. | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
Once a busy shopping centre, now a make-shift shrine. | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
Sadiq Maroof, a shopkeeper, was one of the few | :21:56. | :21:57. | |
They pulled the window from its frame and jumped. | :21:58. | :22:10. | |
It's now clear most died, not from the bomb itself, | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
but the terrifying fireball that followed. | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
TRANSLATION: There were no fire escapes. | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
Half of them could have survived if there had been a proper way out. | :22:22. | :22:30. | |
Many young people would still be alive today. | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
We went to visit Sadiq's family, they're inconsolable. | :22:36. | :22:51. | |
Misery upon misery for Nada, already bent by a crippling disorder. | :22:52. | :23:00. | |
Their sons were working in the centre, their wives | :23:01. | :23:02. | |
This was the scene that night, an inferno set off by a bomb, | :23:03. | :23:16. | |
It tore through shops of perfume, clothing and more, all fuelling | :23:17. | :23:27. | |
the flames and anger too, many say their emergency | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
services failed them, they deny that, and also mourn. | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
TRANSLATION: I have never seen anything like it. | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
We were ready to jump into the fire to save people. | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
We did everything we could, but this was an overwhelming attack. | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
In this ruin an extraordinary moment, a group of friends, | :23:53. | :24:00. | |
survivors themselves, bring candles and a cake | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
for their friend Hallid, who died here, it would have | :24:06. | :24:07. | |
Whether by accident or design, this was the worst IS | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
In the grief, there's fear there could be more to come. | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
Lyse Doucet, BBC News, Baghdad. | :24:20. | :24:30. | |
A brief look at some of the day's other news stories. | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
Detectives have released computerised images of two men | :24:34. | :24:35. | |
who tried to abduct a serviceman outside RAF Marham | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
They said there was no credible evidence the incident | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
was related to terrorism, saying it may have been a case | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
Police in Pakistan have started an investigation into claims that | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
a British woman was murdered in a so-called 'honour killing'. | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
Samia Shahid, from Bradford, died in Northern Punjab last week | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
Her husband believes she was killed because her family | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
Charges have been dropped against the last three police | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
officers facing trial over the death of Freddie Gray, who died in police | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
The 25-year-old died after he was injured | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
His death sparked protests across the US. | :25:17. | :25:25. | |
Three other officers have already been cleared. | :25:26. | :25:27. | |
The man chosen by the European Commission to lead its negotiations | :25:28. | :25:29. | |
on Britain's exit from the EU is a former French Foreign | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
He will take up his post on the 1st October. | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
Mr Barnier was less than popular in the City | :25:37. | :25:38. | |
of London when was in charge of the EU's banking reforms. | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
Our diplomatic correspondent, James Landale, is with me. | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
What is the view, James, that he will be, well, vaguely sympathetic | :25:46. | :25:54. | |
to British interests or not? He will make Brexit that harder for the | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
United Kingdom hi is a veteran French politician, seasoned tough | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
negotiator, Brussels inside her. A European Commissioner twice no less | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
he believes in the European project. He will take no prisoners. More than | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
that, he is also a man described as the scourge of the City of London. | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
This is man when he he brought the banking reforms to the City of | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
London in the wake of the Eurozone debt crisis he was interventionist | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
over regulatory. Hugely unpopular in the City am when so many of these | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
negotiations for Brexit are going to be about the nitty-gritty of with a | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
financial services the UK can sell within the Eurozone. That process | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
will be harder as a result of this appointment. Nick Clegg, the former | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
Deputy Prime Minister, now the Lib Dem's Brexit spokesman said this is | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
the European Commission firing a shot across Britain's boughs. It's | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
not clear what role Mr Barnier will play in the negotiations. The | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
assumption is 2 will be the European member states that drive the talks | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
and do the deal, the Commission will do the nitty-gritty and detail | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
there. Is a little bit of Brussels power play to be resolved there. | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
When the negotiations start, probably next year, this guy will | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
play hardball with us. OK. James, thanks very much, again. James | :27:09. | :27:10. | |
Langdale there for us. John Hinckley Junior - | :27:11. | :27:19. | |
the man who tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan, | :27:20. | :27:21. | |
in Washington DC in 1981 - is to be released from a psychiatric | :27:22. | :27:23. | |
hospital after 35 years. At his trial, Hinckley was found not | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
guilty by reason of insanity, but a judge has now ruled he is now | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
ready to live in the community. Hinckley has said he wants to fit | :27:30. | :27:32. | |
in and be a good citizen our correspondent, | :27:33. | :27:48. | |
Aleem Maqbool, has more details. It was a moment that left the world | :27:49. | :27:50. | |
holding its breath - The President was shoved | :27:51. | :27:53. | |
into his limo, an act that may well have saved his life, | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
but others were left The would be assassin had been | :27:59. | :28:00. | |
bundled to the ground. As Ronald Reagan was rushed | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
through Washington, an agent with him put out | :28:05. | :28:05. | |
the word he was fine. Though he recovered quickly, | :28:06. | :28:08. | |
it was found a bullet had punctured The attacker was John Hinckley | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
Junior, a man obsessed with Jodie Foster, | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
who came to believe that killing the President | :28:18. | :28:19. | |
would impress the actress. He was found not guilty | :28:20. | :28:22. | |
on the grounds of insanity, but was sent to a psychiatric | :28:23. | :28:25. | |
hospital, where he's Over recent years though he's been | :28:26. | :28:28. | |
allowed on short trips home A judge has now ruled he should be | :28:29. | :28:35. | |
released to live with her. Well, among the many conditions | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
John Hinckley has had to agree to to be released, he's not | :28:40. | :28:42. | |
allowed to come here, He can't look himself up | :28:43. | :28:45. | |
on the internet and has to continue to get treatment but, | :28:46. | :28:52. | |
in spite of all of that, there are still those who believe | :28:53. | :28:54. | |
he shouldn't be freed. That includes the Ronald Reagan | :28:55. | :28:57. | |
Foundation, which released "Contrary to the judge's decision, | :28:58. | :28:59. | |
we believe John Hinckley is still a threat to others | :29:00. | :29:02. | |
and we strongly oppose his release." He should be in jail for the rest | :29:03. | :29:08. | |
of his life. I guess you have to | :29:09. | :29:13. | |
let him out because... I mean, he didn't | :29:14. | :29:15. | |
actually murder anyone. He attempted murder, | :29:16. | :29:17. | |
but then he was sick, right? The most seriously injured | :29:18. | :29:21. | |
among those shot in 1981 was the President's Press Secretary, | :29:22. | :29:25. | |
James Brady, who was left paralysed. He fought for legislation on gun | :29:26. | :29:30. | |
control, but the issues surrounding guns and mental health have only | :29:31. | :29:36. | |
intensified over the years. For Ronald Reagan, who was shot | :29:37. | :29:38. | |
just a couple of months into his presidency, | :29:39. | :29:41. | |
it changed the perception Americans had of him, | :29:42. | :29:45. | |
he was now a hero who cheated death. And 35 years after he almost | :29:46. | :29:49. | |
radically changed the course of world history, John Hinckley | :29:50. | :29:52. | |
could be sent home within a week. Aleem Maqbool, BBC | :29:53. | :29:55. | |
News, in Washington. There's just over a week | :29:56. | :30:14. | |
to go to the start of where Team GB are looking | :30:15. | :30:16. | |
to win 48 medals. One of the squad's best hopes | :30:17. | :30:20. | |
is 23-year-old Max Whitlock, the World Champion gymnast | :30:21. | :30:22. | |
who was just a teenager when he unexpectedly won Team | :30:23. | :30:24. | |
and Individual Bronze Since then he's struggled a bit | :30:25. | :30:26. | |
with illness, but he's also won He met Katherine Downes | :30:27. | :30:30. | |
at his training base in Essex. Focus - that's what strikes | :30:31. | :30:34. | |
you when you meet Max Whitlock. Since bronze in London, | :30:35. | :30:37. | |
he spent the last four years working I was an underdog going in there, | :30:38. | :30:39. | |
I was only 19-years-old, I mean, I helped with the team | :30:40. | :30:45. | |
result amd that's the first time And then, for me to get | :30:46. | :30:55. | |
an individual bronze medal, I was so pleased with my achievement | :30:56. | :30:59. | |
and what I produced on that day. While his friend and rival, | :31:00. | :31:02. | |
silver medallist Louis Smith, became a household name | :31:03. | :31:05. | |
after London, for Max The pair will go head-to-head | :31:06. | :31:07. | |
again in Rio. At the end of the day, | :31:08. | :31:10. | |
that's pushing both of us even more, which is the best | :31:11. | :31:13. | |
thing for our team. The higher scores we have on those | :31:14. | :31:15. | |
individual apparatus, the better score that we can, | :31:16. | :31:17. | |
hopefully, come out with as a team. So, you know, it's | :31:18. | :31:21. | |
healthy competition. While the rivalry might be healthy, | :31:22. | :31:22. | |
Max himself has been anything but. Glandular fever laid him low | :31:23. | :31:25. | |
for three months last year, but through sheer grit he fought | :31:26. | :31:27. | |
back to become the first British man So how many times | :31:28. | :31:30. | |
a day are you here? Six days a week, five to seven | :31:31. | :31:41. | |
hours' training a day. We usually do two sessions | :31:42. | :31:44. | |
with a lunch break in between. It's the piece that, | :31:45. | :31:48. | |
you know, a lot of my focus I do double sessions | :31:49. | :32:00. | |
on the pommel horse every day. I, sort of, use that as a lot | :32:01. | :32:03. | |
of my motivation to push me even harder, to get to the highest level | :32:04. | :32:07. | |
that I possibly could. What's it like going | :32:08. | :32:10. | |
into an Olympic Games It calms me, knowing that I've got | :32:11. | :32:12. | |
that title behind me. You know, some people can see it | :32:13. | :32:15. | |
as a lot more pressure, but I see that as a result that | :32:16. | :32:18. | |
I've got in the bag now. I need to go in and produce the best | :32:19. | :32:22. | |
scores that I possibly can and I'm And with that, it's | :32:23. | :32:27. | |
back to training. Newsnight's about to begin over | :32:28. | :32:30. | |
on BBC Two in a few moments. Tonight, the president of the EU | :32:31. | :32:37. | |
isn't hanging around, he's appointed a former | :32:38. | :32:40. | |
French Foreign Minister So just how much hardball | :32:41. | :32:42. | |
is he likely to play? Here on BBC One it's time | :32:43. | :32:50. | |
for the news where you are. | :32:51. | :32:54. |
