At least 120 people have been killed by a powerful earthquake in central | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Italy but it's feared many more are missing. | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
In some villages rescuers are having to dig out survivors with their bare | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
hands after homes collapsed while people were sleeping. | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
In just 20 seconds last night, when people were sleeping, | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
the village was completely flattened by the earthquake. | :00:26. | :00:36. | |
Looking at where the buildings have fallen down this hillside, | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
it is hard to believe that anyone can still survive under there. | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
We'll be talking to our correspondent in one of the worst | :00:42. | :00:44. | |

At least 120 people have been killed after a powerful earthquake struck | :01:16. | :01:46. | |
central Italy in the early hours of this morning. | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
But many more people are still missing and the death toll | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
Rescue teams have been searching for survivors | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
Tonight a 10-year-old girl was one of the latest | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
The earthquake's epicentre was near the town of Norcia in Umbria. | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
The tremor was strong enough to be felt up and down Italy. | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
Among the worst hit places is Amatrice - known as one | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
Locals say it was full of visitors - many of them young - | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
who'd come to the town for its annual festival this weekend. | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
Our correspondent James Reynolds has sent this report from Amatrice. | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
Deep in the Apennine mountains, a piece of Italy has been destroyed. | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
The residents of Amatrice, a hilltop town about to | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
celebrate a summer festival, were hit while they slept. | :02:39. | :02:49. | |
Through piles of rubble, rescue workers trying | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
We have made it to the centre of Amatrice. | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
There is a rescue going on in the rubble there. | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
You can see they are bringing out someone on a stretcher. | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
It looks like she is, which will be a huge relief | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
The woman is being escorted down to an ambulance. | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
We also saw rescuers carry away a number of dead bodies, | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
Many survivors were barely able to talk. | :03:29. | :03:38. | |
It is hard to comprehend how your town can fall | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
TRANSLATION: There is nothing left standing, I am so sorry for so many | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
I am so sorry, I hope they are safe. | :03:50. | :04:01. | |
The village of Accumoli was also hit. | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
An official talks to a woman who is trapped. | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
"Stay calm," he tells her, "we will come to get you." | :04:08. | :04:18. | |
In Amatrice, Sister Marianna said she was pulled | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Some of her fellow sisters are still trapped inside. | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
When I realised what happened, I tried to hide myself | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
Then I went outside to ask for help, but no-one heard me. | :04:32. | :04:39. | |
This region is vulnerable to earthquakes. | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
From above, the devastation of Amatrice is clear. | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
It is too dangerous to take them inside the damaged hospital. | :04:49. | :05:01. | |
Tonight, rescuers continue to claw away at the broken buildings | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
They promised to keep looking until they find all those | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
Rescue workers have used helicopters to pluck survivors to safety | :05:12. | :05:21. | |
from some of the more isolated villages in the area which have been | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
In one village - Pescara del Tronto - | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
all the houses have collapsed - the village no longer exists. | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
Our correspondent Damian Grammaticas managed to get there | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
Pescara del Tronto, razed to the ground | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
Perched on a mountain ridge, it had been built up | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
high hundreds of years ago, for safety. | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
When the earthquake struck, the houses of ancient stone and wood | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
As rescue teams poured into the area today, | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
Under all that rubble, the sniffer dogs found | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
But no earth-moving equipment could make it up here. | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
He had come with his friends from a local rugby team. | :06:14. | :06:24. | |
He lives down the valley and was woken by the tremors. | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
I see my mother screaming and my father the same. | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
After two minutes, me and my family went out of the house and went | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
Like all the people in the city, we went in the big park in the city, | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
As they searched the ruins of Pescara del Tronto, | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
The building went down during our work. | :06:50. | :06:58. | |
Confusing things further, Pescara del Tronto is | :06:59. | :07:14. | |
People come in the summer, a refuge from the heat, so nobody | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
This is the third body we have seen being brought out from this spot | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
What the rescue teams hope is they will find people alive, | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
but looking at where the buildings have fallen down this hillside, | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
it is hard to believe that anyone can still survive under there. | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
Back at the digging, as they got closer, they realised | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
it was not a survivor, but somebody's pet trapped here. | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
Eventually, they prised the dog free. | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
The final toll in this one village, maybe 20 people dead, maybe more. | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
But the truth is today Pescara del Tronto, population 100, | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
Today's earthquake isn't the first to hit the region. | :08:03. | :08:12. | |
Italy has, for decades, been prone to similar | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
It's vulnerable because of the collision between the African | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
and Eurasian tectonic plates which are pushing into each other. | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
That process is ongoing, the plates continue to move | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
The sea, which lies to the west of the country, is opening | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
up and that's pulling apart the Apennines - | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
the belt of mountains that runs down through central Italy. | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
300 people died in an earthquake in L'Aquila in 2009. | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
In 1908, it is thought as many as 70,000 were killed when a 7.2 | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
magnitude tremor flattened Messina in Sicily. | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
And today it was Amatrice, this is what the main street looked | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
This is what it looks like now, much of it flattened in just seconds | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
Damian Gramatticas is in Amatrice now. | :09:02. | :09:10. | |
Are they still hopeful they could find survivors beneath all this | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
rubble? They are and they're still trying all the way through the night | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
here. Now in James' report you heard the story of a nun who was rescued. | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
This was the convent where she was and where she was pulled out from. | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
There were other people in here, and all this evening they're working | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
here because the sniffer dogs went in earlier. They thought they | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
detected someone inside. So the rescue teams are trying to make the | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
building safe so they can work through it to go in and find | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
someone. Of course, spirits were raised by the news earlier in the | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
village down the valley where we were, Pescara, when that | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
ten-year-old girl was pulled out alive. That was a couple of hours | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
ago. That I think gives hope. But what makes it all so difficult is | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
that it's a string of these historic hill-top towns, these beautiful | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
villages with old stone buildings along the crests of the ridges that | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
have been affected and it's really hard for them to get the teams up | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
here and the earth-moving equipment to get in to dig people out. That | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
will continue, but it's very, very difficult work. Thank you. | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
Turkish tanks and special forces have rolled across | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
the border into Syria - their first major incursion - | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
supported by airstrikes from Turkish and American jets. | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
They went in to drive so-called Islamic state out | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
of the border town of Jarabulus and surrounding villages. | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
By this afternoon the Turkish authorities were reporting | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
Our correspondent Mark Lowen has this report from Gaziantep. | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
Turkish and coalition jets hit Jarablus, held by so-called Islamic | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
State, before tanks move in for the ground offensive. | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
Hundreds of Syrian rebel fighters went with them. | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
Within hours they had entered the key town, liberating it from | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
A journalist who was quick to Jarablus before | :11:06. | :11:14. | |
the offensive began said that | :11:15. | :11:15. | |
the militants were completely overpowered. | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
There was intense shelling that forced IS back, he said. | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
The Turkish offensive had two aims, to push IS back from the border | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
and stop Syrian Kurdish fighters advancing to Jarablus and | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
Turkey sees them as a threat, encouraging Turkish | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
The diplomatic timing was handy, coinciding to a visit to | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
Ankara by the American vice president. | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
Turkey has gone from a reluctant partner to coordinating | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
In return Joe Biden ordered the Kurds, a US partner on | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
They must move back across the river, they | :11:56. | :12:04. | |
cannot, will not, and under no circumstances get American support, | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
This appears to have been a swift operation meeting | :12:07. | :12:15. | |
limited resistance and Turkey has achieved its two goals of ousting IS | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
militants from Jarablus and getting coalition support to push the | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
Turkey's biggest intervention in Syria since | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
the war began will be seen here as a significant success. | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
Nearby we met Abdul, he and his family fled here | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
It is like we have been pulled out of a well, he says, | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
houses have been destroyed and innocent people slaughtered, thank | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
God we got rid of them, I'm so happy. | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
Would you think of going home to Jarablus now? | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
God willing, he tells me, beating IS will be long | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
But this will give renewed hope of progress. | :12:59. | :13:11. | |
Jeremy bow been is here. How much more is this being to complicate the | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
situation? Over the years it's become very complicated. Things are | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
changing a little at the moment which I suppose increases that. Now | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
one way of looking at Syria is to regard it as, in effect, a mini | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
world war. You can see we have a list of some of the countries | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
involved there. Those on the pro-Assad side and the anti. Some of | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
the world's biggest powers, that's why I use the phrased a vicedly, | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
mini world war, but there's been some softening of late with Turkey | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
making up after a big row with the Russians and that's something - | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
they're not going to leave the Western camp, but it does give them | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
quite a bit of leverage. People are now wondering could President | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
Erdogan of Turkey perhaps do deals with even with President Assad? This | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
isn't the kind of war where my enemy's enemy is automatically my | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
friend. That would mean him perhaps dumping Sunni groups he has been | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
supporting. That's unlikely. People are talking about it. But his main | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
concern is the Kurds, not Islamic State and not the jihadists of | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
Islamic State. He sees the Kurds as the biggest threat to Turkey. I | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
don't think it's impossible he might want to make local deals that | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
benefit Ankara and Istanbul and keep the Kurds bottled up a bit. Now for | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
the Turks this operation, apart from IS, is about securing territory that | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
the Kurds might have taken over and Erdogan says they need to go back | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
east and the Americans perhaps worried about that new leverage as a | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
result of the relationship with Russia, are backing them with all of | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
that. Now would this war survive the defeat of Islamic State? Would it | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
the war keep on going? I think it might because you can see there | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
these are some of the conflicts going on. There is that Islamic | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
State conflict. There is a wider sectarian conflict going on with | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
Shia and Sunni which affects a lot of what's happening. Kurdish | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
nationalists are in play. And various armed militias, regularly | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
fall out with each other and trade bullets, as well. So, it's a | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
difficult dangerous complicated situation. And one more tiny thing | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
that's come up potentially very important, a joint investigation by | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
the UN and the global chemical watchdog has found the Syrian | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
Government troops have been using chemical weapons again, two toxic | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
gas aattacks and that's something which clearly we will hear more | :15:55. | :15:55. | |
about. Thank you. Five people have died | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
after being pulled from the sea Emergency services and people | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
on the beach tried to save them after they got into difficulties | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
on one of the hottest The lifeguard has confirmed two more | :16:08. | :16:19. | |
parties have been recovered and another person is missing. | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
12 people have now died in the seas around the UK in less than a week. | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
Helicopters, lifeboats and beach-rescue teams all took | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
It was just after 2pm, they were called amid reports | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
of a number of people in need of medical attention. | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
A short time later, the three men were pulled from the water. | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
It is not the nicest thing to see, somebody die in front of you, | :16:43. | :16:52. | |
Sussex Police say it is not yet known if the men knew each other | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
or whether this was one, two or three incidents. | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
We are working with a number of agencies, the Council, | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
the RNLI, Coast Guard, with the beach patrol. | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
We have dedicated officers on the beach through the summer. | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
After the incidents, police travelled up and down | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
the beach with loud-hailers to clear the water. | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
It has been the hottest day of the year so far. | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
Last month, Gustavo Silva Da Cruz, a 19-year-old Brazilian | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
man, died after getting into trouble in the sea here. | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
The local council says incidents like this are extremely rare, | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
that there are beach patrols to warn people of the dangers. | :17:37. | :17:46. | |
Confirmation tonight that two more bodies have been recovered from the | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
water tonight, making a total of five. It is not clear if they are | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
male or female. A lot of emergency services activity tonight, including | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
a search of the beach and a helicopter in the sky, amid reports | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
of one more person missing. It has been one of the most tragic | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
coastlines here for the past year or so, nothing seemed like this in many | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
years, this by far the most serious incident of a summer of incidents | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
and tragedies that the emergency services will be investigating. | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
A British woman has been stabbed to death at a backpackers' | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
21-year-old Mia Ayliffe-Chung was from Derbyshire. | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
A British man was severely injured in the attack and is in | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
Police say the suspect, who's from France, shouted | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
in Arabic, but that they're not treating it as a terror attack. | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
An elderly man has been sentenced to six years in a psychiatric | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
hospital for shooting dead his wife, who suffered from dementia. | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
Ronald King, who is 87, had been staying at a care home | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
in Essex with his wife Rita last Christmas when he opened fire. | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
The court heard that he also has dementia. | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
A serving member of the British armed forces has been arrested | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
on suspicion of terrorism linked to Northern Ireland. | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
Ciaran Maxwell of the Royal Marines was held in Somerset today, | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
and police said a house in South Devon and a wooded area | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
In Northern Ireland, police have also been searching | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
This investigation is taking place on both sides of the Irish Sea, | :19:14. | :19:30. | |
connected to the discovery of weapons he earlier this year, which | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
detectives have linked to does Republican paramilitaries, and they | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
say those fines was a difficult. Among the weapons they discovered | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
were and armour piercing improvised rocket and two antipersonnel mines. | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
The man being questioned is Ciaran Maxwell, from the town, but he is | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
serving with the Royal Marines in the West Country. Since his arrest | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
today in Somerset, there have been a series of searches taking place | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
appear at is to' homes as homes as well as in South Devon, where they | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
have searched a house and wooded area. The MoD say they are aware | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
that a serving member has been arrested, he is being questioned on | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
suspicion of preparing for acts of terrorism. | :20:17. | :20:18. | |
Scientists say they've discovered a new planet just outside our solar | :20:19. | :20:20. | |
system which is slightly larger than Earth and could harbour life. | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
They've named it Proxima b, and at just four light years away, | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
it's relatively close to us, which means it could be reached | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
The research is published in the journal Nature. | :20:30. | :20:38. | |
In the dazzling beauty of the skies above Chile, | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
telescopes have focused on the pinprick of light coming | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
They have found an alien world orbiting around it. | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
Nobody has seen it directly, but researchers know | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
it is there because of tiny movements in the star. | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
It is a huge moment in the exploration of space. | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
It is the nearest planet that potentially can have life | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
and can be in a sense similar to our own planet. | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
There are hundreds of planets being discovered every month, | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
but this is a special one, the nearest one. | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
It happens once, it will not happen again. | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
It is hard to grasp distance in space and where this planet is, | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
so let's begin with the moon, 239,000 miles from us. | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
We go beyond the solar system to the next-nearest star, | :21:34. | :21:42. | |
That is where a planet has been discovered orbiting around it. | :21:43. | :21:52. | |
The reason scientists are excited, this alien world is the closest | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
there is outside our own solar system. | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
It is slightly larger than Earth, and although its star is cooler | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
than the Sun, the planet is in just the right zone for liquid water | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
That means in theory it could support life. | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
Telescopes around the world will now be deployed to find out more. | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
This changes, I think, our perception of how many habitable | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
It means the prospects for alien life elsewhere in the galaxy look | :22:27. | :22:34. | |
a lot more rosy than they did last week. | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
Reaching the planet with the spacecraft we have | :22:40. | :22:41. | |
now would take tens of thousands of years. | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
There is a plan backed by Stephen Hawking for far-more-rapid | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
forms of space travel, and that project now has | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
In the meantime, it will be astronomers who hunt | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
for clues about our nearest neighbour in deep space. | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
Pictures have emerged of French police appearing to force a Muslim | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
woman to remove her clothes on a beach in Nice. | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
The images are fuelling an ongoing debate about a controversial ban | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
in parts of France on full-body swimsuits, called burkinis. | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
Critics have said it's a means of stigmatising Muslims. | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
The highest court in France is due to begin considering | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has been defending himself | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
after Virgin Trains challenged his claim that he had to sit | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
on the floor because he couldn't find a seat on a service | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
Yesterday, Virgin released CCTV footage which appeared | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
Today Mr Corbyn said he'd been looking for two seats | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
He claimed it was a ram-packed train, after walking | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
through a carriage of apparently-empty seats. | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
Why did Jeremy Corbyn not sit down after first boarding the 11am | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
Today, at the launch of his NHS policy, unwanted questions | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
I am aware we live in a free country, I am proud to. | :23:59. | :24:10. | |
To his obvious irritation, he was quizzed about his | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
Yes, I walked through the train, I looked for two empty seats | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
together, so I could sit with my wife. | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
Jeremy Corbyn was filmed sitting on the train floor because his team | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
said there were no unreserved seats free. | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
Now he says the problem was he could not find two together, | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
After 45 minutes, his party were seated by train staff. | :24:37. | :24:45. | |
Today, his campaign manager insisted they had played it straight. | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
He is a man of principle and integrity. | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
As he conceded, he could have had a seat on that train if he had | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
If there had been seats available, he would have sat in those seats. | :24:56. | :25:03. | |
He did not think there were any available. | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
The crew apologised for the fact there were no seats. | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
On today's departure from King's Cross to Newcastle, | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
there were plenty of unreserved seats free, and some support | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
I am on the service all the time, there are many times | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
I have been on the return journey, but never in the day. | :25:27. | :25:36. | |
It is ridiculous how it has become such a massive thing, | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
there are so many bigger things going on. | :25:40. | :25:41. | |
But his leadership rival was keen to stir the row. | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
What is clear from the footage I have seen is that he had | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
a seat on the train, and there were seats, | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
and he chose to sit on the floor for the purposes of the video. | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
This may have caused Jeremy Corbyn some discomfort, but a bust up | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
with a private train company may well fire up his supporters. | :25:59. | :26:06. | |
New figures show that Scotland's deficit was almost ?15 billion | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
That's half a billion higher than the previous year. | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
These figures show the very dramatic effect the fall in the oil price has | :26:18. | :26:26. | |
In the year 2014-15, the tax raised from offshore oil | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
and gas industries was worth ?1.8 billion to the Exchequer. | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
Last year, it contributed just ?60 million. | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
That's a fall of 97% in the revenue received from the North Sea. | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
That loss was offset by a rise in other earnings, | :26:46. | :26:47. | |
but it still leaves Scotland spending more public money | :26:48. | :26:49. | |
The Scottish economy has a notional deficit of ?14.8 billion. | :26:50. | :26:59. | |
That is pretty high, as it is 9.5% of Scottish GDP. | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
By comparison, the deficit for the UK as whole | :27:06. | :27:07. | |
This doesn't mean that the Scottish Government has to start slashing | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
Their budget is not determined by how much tax | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
But it does allow their political opponents to point to these figures | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
and say they show how Scotland benefits economically | :27:21. | :27:22. | |
from being part of the UK, and that if Scotland were to become | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
independent, it would be struggling with a large, | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
That matters because First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is currently | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
considering whether to call a second referendum on Scottish independence. | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
Today she says the biggest risk to the Scottish economy is not | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
She has produced some additional statistics that she says show that | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
Brexit could cost the Scottish economy up to ?11 billion a year. | :27:45. | :27:55. | |
Almost 20 years after new grammar schools in England were banned, | :27:56. | :27:58. | |
the Government is said to be considering allowing more | :27:59. | :28:00. | |
At the moment there are just over 160 state-funded grammar schools, | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
in which pupils get a place after passing an academic test. | :28:05. | :28:06. | |
For the second in our series of big decisions facing Theresa May, our | :28:07. | :28:09. | |
Education Editor Branwen Jeffreys reports from Lincolnshire, | :28:10. | :28:12. | |
one of three counties that's kept a grammar system. | :28:13. | :28:18. | |
Sunshine and sand in Skegness, but I've come to Lincolnshire | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
These are the families Theresa May wants to reach, | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
working to give their children the best they can manage. | :28:28. | :28:33. | |
Skegness Grammar School is 600 years old. | :28:34. | :28:36. | |
For Jo, who does accounts, and Andy, who runs a welding business, grammar | :28:37. | :28:43. | |
There are some schools where children are there | :28:44. | :28:48. | |
And they're sat at the back of the classroom looking around | :28:49. | :28:55. | |
and for those that want to get on, that's off-putting. | :28:56. | :28:57. | |
So, I think some sort of segregation, and if it's | :28:58. | :29:02. | |
There is more discipline, it is stricter, but I don't see that | :29:03. | :29:06. | |
as a bad thing and it does give the opportunity for other | :29:07. | :29:09. | |
England isn't going back to the system where every | :29:10. | :29:14. | |
11-year-old sat a test to decide if they got into a school like this. | :29:15. | :29:19. | |
But more selection is back on the cards. | :29:20. | :29:23. | |
Grammar schools can provide a great education for those that | :29:24. | :29:26. | |
get a place, but poor, bright children are less likely | :29:27. | :29:30. | |
Grammar schools only take the minority that pass their test. | :29:31. | :29:37. | |
Most end up in a school like the one run by Ian Widdows 15 miles | :29:38. | :29:42. | |
We offer the Duke of Edinburgh Awards for all our students, | :29:43. | :29:46. | |
He is proud to call it a secondary modern, the old name for schools | :29:47. | :29:51. | |
that take pupils rejected by grammars. | :29:52. | :29:54. | |
Without some of the middle-class kids, some of the brightest kids, | :29:55. | :29:58. | |
They're likely to have more students from a deprived background. | :29:59. | :30:04. | |
They'll have students arriving already feeling like failures | :30:05. | :30:06. | |
because they failed the 11-Plus and they may find it more difficult | :30:07. | :30:10. | |
to recruit some of the better teachers and the more | :30:11. | :30:13. | |
Grass-roots politics matter too after the Brexit vote. | :30:14. | :30:20. | |
Here, Tory councillors fought plans to force good schools | :30:21. | :30:22. | |
Lincolnshire gets less money than inner cities for its schools. | :30:23. | :30:29. | |
So how do the priorities look from here? | :30:30. | :30:32. | |
The first priority has to be funding. | :30:33. | :30:34. | |
We have to get our schools funded the same as everybody | :30:35. | :30:37. | |
And last, bottom of the list, would be academies. | :30:38. | :30:47. | |
My journey's end, up the coast in Grimsby. | :30:48. | :30:49. | |
No grammars here, but some struggling schools. | :30:50. | :30:53. | |
Money is going into areas like this across the north to help drive up | :30:54. | :30:56. | |
But many of the people involved in that work aren't convinced that | :30:57. | :31:02. | |
grammar schools are the answer, and privately some have even told me | :31:03. | :31:07. | |
Grimsby wants to better itself, and that's what grammar schools | :31:08. | :31:13. | |
It's that belief in opportunity the Government wants to reach. | :31:14. | :31:23. | |
The world's largest aircraft has crash-landed during its second test | :31:24. | :31:26. | |
Airlander 10 is part-plane, part-helicopter and part-airship. | :31:27. | :31:32. | |
It was damaged at its base at Cardington Airfield this morning. | :31:33. | :31:34. | |
The world's largest aircraft takes a long time to crash. | :31:35. | :31:44. | |
The pilot cannot stop it nosediving into the ground. | :31:45. | :31:51. | |
The cockpit, with the crew upfront, is clearly smashed up. | :31:52. | :31:54. | |
If there is somebody shaking less than me... | :31:55. | :31:56. | |
For Angela, who shot this footage, it was frightening to watch. | :31:57. | :32:00. | |
It was awful, you don't know if the people have come out alive, | :32:01. | :32:04. | |
I shook when I held the camera, trying to get the pictures. | :32:05. | :32:12. | |
I said, "If anybody can hold it steady, they are welcome to." | :32:13. | :32:16. | |
Eyewitnesses told me they saw sparks coming from the mooring rope | :32:17. | :32:26. | |
after it hit something, but I understand that is not | :32:27. | :32:29. | |
There was no chance of a fireball because the Airliner is full | :32:30. | :32:34. | |
of inert helium gas, not the explosive hydrogen gas | :32:35. | :32:39. | |
of the famous old airships like the Hindenburg. | :32:40. | :32:42. | |
This accident is an embarrassing setback on just its | :32:43. | :32:45. | |
But the company says it should fly again soon. | :32:46. | :32:54. | |
Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are. | :32:55. | :33:00. |
