Good afternoon. 30,000 people have spent the day | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
marching in Belfast to mark one of the most significant periods in | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Unionist history. It's the 100th anniversary of the Ulster Covenant, | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
which rejected home-rule and has involved the biggest policing | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
operation in Northern Ireland for 20 years. Our Ireland correspondent, | :00:35. | :00:45. | |
Mark Simpson, reports. They came from every county in | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
Northern Ireland. And they filled every corner of Belfast city centre. | :00:51. | :00:59. | |
The largest Unionist parade the 20 years. 30,000 marchers and more | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
than 100 Protestant bands, marching to Stormont. A six-mile journey to | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
mark a moment in history. We are celebrating the centenary of | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
Northern Ireland's birth certificate. We have been around | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
for 100 years as part of the United Kingdom and we intend to stay that | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
way. This is what they are remembering, the signing of the | :01:21. | :01:29. | |
Ulster covenants in 1912. Based at the prospect of Irish Home Rule, | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
they pledged to remain British. Today, the signing was re-enacted. | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
Away from the pomp and ceremony, there was tension in Belfast as | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
part of the parade past a Catholic church. There was a protest and | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
claims the march was insulting. was not overly provocative, but | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
there were certainly elements that appeared to be insulting. Maybe not | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
as respected as it could have been. In spite of the progress made in | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
Belfast, today has been a reminder that parts of the city remain | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
bitterly divided. But the police have been pleased with how it has | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
gone so far. I have seen a lot of people with smiles on their faces | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
watching it and participating. I think at the moment what we are | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
seeing is a dignified parade, and I am very grateful for that. | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
Unionists, it has been a day to remember. A celebration of their | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
long history and a time to look back as well as forward. | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
The Sussex schoolgirl, Megan Stammers, who went missing in | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
France with her teacher, flew back to Britain this afternoon. Megan, | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
who's 15, boarded an aircraft in Bordeaux. The teacher, Jeremy | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
Forrest, who's being questioned by French police, says he won't fight | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
extradition. Our correspondent, Andy Moore, is outside Sussex | :02:51. | :03:01. | |
police headquarters in Lewes. What more can you tell us at this stage? | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
We understand Megan is back on UK soul and has been reunited with her | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
family. Arvo it has not been officially confirmed. The family | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
are asking for privacy. She got on the aeroplane this afternoon and it | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
arrived at Gatwick Airport about an hour and a half ago. It is unlikely | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
making a will go back to the family home in Sussex in Eastbourne. In | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
France, Jeremy Forrest is under arrest, arrested under the European | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
arrest warrant. He is due in court again on Tuesday. His lawyer says | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
he won't contest extradition and is happy to come back to the UK will | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
stop his lawyer said he is being treated well at the detention | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
centre and as to his mental condition, he was a little unwell | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
and a little upset. The Labour leader, Ed Miliband, | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
says the country is facing a "genuine economic emergency". | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
Speaking ahead of the Labour Party Conference, which starts tomorrow | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
in Manchester, he acknowledged a Labour government wouldn't be able | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
to reverse all public spending cuts. Our political correspondent, Gary | :04:05. | :04:14. | |
O'Donoguhue, reports. His party may be riding high in the | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
polls, but as Ed Miliband and his family arrived in Manchester, he | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
knows there is a long way to go before Labour is seen as a | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
Government in waiting. Taking questions at a local school this | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
afternoon, he reinforced his claim to be on the side of hard-working | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
families by setting out fans -- plans to force energy companies to | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
pass on falls in the price of oil and gas. But he warned Labour would | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
have some tough decisions. We have shown in this Parliament how we can | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
say, and people won't like this, we can put jobs in the public sector | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
ahead of pay rises. You mentioned about maybe having to pick jobs | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
over paid if you come into Government? What would you say to | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
the people joining the ranks of the working poor? I don't claim to have | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
a magic wand. What this Government is doing now is causing an | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
tightening working poverty. Every leader wants to be on the side of | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
heart working families and Ed Miliband is no different. But some | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
in the party believe he cannot do that if he takes such a hard line | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
on public sector pay. Some union leaders will use this week to tell | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
him. But more important than this internal battle, this will be aimed | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
at showcasing Labour's ideas to a public which remain sceptical on | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
the question of economic competence. And for Ed Miliband himself, free | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
of any internal speculation of his leadership, will be able to | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
translate two years of thinking into ideas people can understand. | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
Reports from Nepal say the authorities there now believe that | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
pilot error caused yesterday's plane crash, in which seven Britons | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
died. Initially, officials had said they thought a bird strike was | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
responsible for bringing down the plane shortly after it took off | :06:09. | :06:19. | |
:06:19. | :06:25. | ||
from Kathmandu. At least ten people are now known | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
to have died after torrential rain caused flash flooding in southern | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
Spain. Hundreds of people, including British tourists, have | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
been evacuated from their homes after severe flooding in Malaga, | :06:33. | :06:42. | |
Almeria and Murcia. The number of dead has risen. At | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
the some of the worst floods in years. Inside people's homes, the | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
flood waters have destroyed everything. This woman says a car | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
floated into the house. "I have nothing left, I am ruined" she says. | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
This man says his route was like a river of cars and water. Large | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
areas of southern Spain are flooded. Here, a bridge collapsed after the | :07:11. | :07:18. | |
heavy rain. Acar, randomly dumped by the floods and the rivers | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
swollen and powerful, taking anything in their path. On these | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
satellite images, the light, grey areas Shahabi ring concentrated | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
over the South East of Spain, but moving north today. And there were | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
flood warnings in the north-east of the country. In Barcelona it has | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
been raining all day. But there has not been flooding like that in the | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
south of Spain. Back there, the clean-up has begun. The long, hot | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
summer meant the ground was very dry and so much water had no where | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
to go. If you weeks ago, this region had forest fires and now | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
this. In Golf's Ryder Cup, the United | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
States have taken a commanding lead over Europe at the half way stage | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
on Day Two of the competition. They currently lead Europe by 6-3 and | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
lead in another two matches at the Medinah Country Club. From Chicago, | :08:17. | :08:26. | |
here's our correspondent, Andy Swiss. | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
After their flying start, the American fans began the day | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
brimming with confidence. A two point lead overnight, their hopes | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
as high as the decibel count. Europe know they have to start | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
quickly and find a way of silencing his crowd. It is barely 7:00am and | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
already they are in full voice. Europe had a different inspiration, | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
and Ariel tribute to Seve Ballesteros, and they made the | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
perfect start. Ian Poulter birdie in the first, and the adrenalin was | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
pumping. But things began to unravel. Lee Westwood went away | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
would with a watery results, and Europe was trailing in every match. | :09:15. | :09:22. | |
Once again, America's start was Keegan Bradley. He and Phil | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
Mickelson unstoppable as they demolished Lee Westwood and Luke | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
Donald. Europe finally made impact, pinpoint accuracy from Justin Rose, | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
and how his team needed it. Belgian's Nicolas Colsaerts, also | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
offering hope. Europe will need plenty more of these if they are to | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
have any chance. The Chelsea captain, John Terry, | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
has been back in action just two days after being found guilty of | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
racial abuse by the Football Association. Terry's four match ban | :09:51. | :09:53. |
