A Security Council widely criticised for removing three | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
children from their foster parents because they're members of the UK | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
Independence Party. The Government calls the decision indefensible. | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
Rotherham Council insists it it put the children's needs first. UKIP | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
has very clear statements on ending multiculturism, not having that | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
going forward. I have to think about how sensitive am I I being to | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
the needs of those children? Gales and heavy rain bring more | :00:35. | :00:39. | |

Hagman famous for playing JR Ewing Good evening. The Government has | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
strongly criticised the decision of a Labour-run council to remove | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
three children from their foster parents because the couple are | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
members of the UK Independence Party. Rotherham Borough Council | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
said it was concerned about the party's immigration policy and its | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
opposition to multiculturalism. The Education Secretary, Michael Gove, | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
described the move as arbitrary and indefensible. Daniel Boettcher | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
reports. Local authorities face difficult | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
decisions on foster placements. They're told they have to be | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
sensitive to a child's background and needs. In this case, Rotherham | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
Metropolitan Borough Council removed three children who were | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
from an eastern European background from their foster parents when they | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
were told the couple were members of the UK Independence Party. It | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
said there was no issue about the caught -- quality of care provided | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
but UKIP's stance on immigration had to be taken into account. | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
have to think about the clear statement on ending multiculturism, | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
for example. These children are from EU migrant backgrounds. UKIP | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
has very clear statements on ending multiculturism, not having that | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
going forward. I have to think about how sensitive am I being to | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
the needs of those children? come says it's been criticised by a | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
judge in previous separate care proceedings for not looking after | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
the same children's culture and ethnic needs. But the couple in | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
this case say they were able to provide that, in a statement they | :02:29. | :02:39. | |
:02:39. | :02:42. | ||
The leader of UKIP, Nigel Farage, in Rotherham ahead of next week's | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
by-election, said the decision to remove the children was appalling. | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
They were giving those children love and stability and all the | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
things they need so they can go on and proceed in life and they have | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
been discriminated against by a Labour-run council on the basis | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
that they support a party that says we shouldn't be part of the | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
European Union and we should control our borders. And that is | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
the most appalling prejudice. Education Secretary, Michael Gove, | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
whose department is also responsible for children's services, | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
described the decision as indefensible. We need to encourage | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
more parents to come forward to adopt and to foster. If we say that | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
you cannot foster children because you are a member of a mainstream | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
political party or you have views on multiculturism that's utterly | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
wrong. The council says it's to hold an investigation into the | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
decision to see that all the correct procedures were carried out. | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
Our political correspondent Robin Brant is here. As we heard, there | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
was swift criticism of the council from the Government and also from | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
the Labour Party. Yes, they were quick to judge and I think many, | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
like Ed Miliband and Michael Gove, think this is an open and shut case. | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
Of course, Rotherham Council's inquiry is not running yet, but one | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
of the key elements here is there is a by-election in Rotherham in a | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
few days. UKIP have a candidate standing, they fancy their chances. | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
Labour are defending a sizable majority. Labour know that locally | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
in cities and the Conservatives know nationally that UKIP is a | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
threat. One of the most significant elements to this case actually is | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
that this party is now entering the mainstream. We heard from Ed | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
Miliband refer to UKIP as a mainstream party, Michael Gove did | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
the same there. Tonight, Downing Street has been forced to thraoeu | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
and clarify -- try and clarify what the Prime Minister thinks. They got | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
themselves in knots over it. He said years ago they were a partied | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
made -- party made up of fruitcakes. They are saying the Prime Minister | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
doesn't think that all members of UKIP are racists but what is clear | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
is the sensitivities, particularly at the top of the Conservative | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
Party about the rise of UKIP because the reality is for Tories | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
and for Labour their supporters, their members are people that they | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
need to try and court, not condemn. Thank you. | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
Many areas of England and Wales are facing the threat of more flooding | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
tonight. Heavy rain and strong winds are sweeping much of the UK, | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
with the west of England and parts of Wales facing the worst | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
conditions. More than 80 flood warnings are in place and the | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
Environment Agency says thousands of homes are at risk. Robert Hall | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
reports from Somerset. The heart of the Somerset levels, | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
tonight this natural flood plain is being overwhelmed by unrelenting | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
rainfall. In Langport's high street residents | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
have worked to ensure every vulnerable property has at least | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
basic protection. If it comes over, that's it. You are never going to | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
stop it. You got to try damage limitation. This area's been | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
devastated with the water... Near Taunton Fiona showed me damage to | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
her pub, ruined by two floods this year and now threatened by a third. | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
I am extremely worried. I know that what's going to happen and we will | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
probably be, as we are now, under water again. In the past two hours, | :05:54. | :06:03. | |
the storm has brought flooding to Cornwall. These images were filmed. | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
What's changing now is another heavy band of rain coming across | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
tonight. The rivers are going to respond incredibly quickly. The | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
flood plains are filling up. That's the change for us now. We need to | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
get prepared. The number of flood warnings has been rising steadily | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
through the evening. Forecast strong winds will make matters | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
worse as debris and fallen trees block rivers and drainage channels. | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
The signs are that for communities here and across the UK this will be | :06:29. | :06:38. | |
a long and testing night. Judges in Egypt have called for a | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
nationwide strike in protest at President Mursi's decision to | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
assume sweeping new powers. It came as demonstrators in Cairo clashed | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
with security forces. The judges said the president's move was an | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
unprecedented attack on their independence and meant his | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
decisions could not be overturned in the courts. | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
Northern Ireland's First Minister, Peter Robinson, has said he | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
believes a majority of Catholics support Northern Ireland staying | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
within the UK. Speaking at the Democratic Unionist Party's annual | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
conference in Belfast he dismissed calls for a referendum on the | :07:05. | :07:15. | |
:07:15. | :07:15. | ||
future of the Union. Mark Simpson's report contains flash photography. | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
Flying the flag for the Union. The Democratic Unionist Party is the | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
biggest in Northern Ireland. Its support is growing and its leader | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
claims so is support for the Union. With most Protestants and Catholics | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
wanting to be part of the UK. have the confidence of knowing that | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
a majority of Protestants and Catholics alike support our | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
constitutional position within the United Kingdom. They know they're | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
better off with Britain. He paid tribute to the Queen. On this | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
Jubilee year, let this conference send a message on behalf of the | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
people upon whose loyalty and support she can always depend, long | :07:55. | :08:05. | |
may you reign over us. Political opponents of Peter Robinson say | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
he's exaggerating Catholic support for the Union but he and his party | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
have never been more buoyant. If unionists are so confident about | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
Northern Ireland's place within the United Kingdom, would they be | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
prepared to let the issue go to a vote? As in Scotland? The answer at | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
the moment is no. Unionists claim it would simply be a waste of time | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
and money. The Irish border is still an issue here. But for many | :08:29. | :08:38. | |
people it's no longer top of the political agenda. | :08:38. | :08:48. | |
:08:48. | :08:49. | ||
Sport now. And let's go to the sports centre. | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
It's been another disappointing day for the home nations in Rugby | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
Union's Autumn Internationals with only Ireland coming away with | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
victory. England captain Chris Robshaw took the blame for their | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
defeat to South Africa by 15-16. Rob Heath reports. | :09:01. | :09:11. | |
Chris rob Shaw looked assured at the start. The rugby was hardly | :09:11. | :09:20. | |
free flowing. The only try owed more to luck than judgment. Alberts | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
touched down. England opted to kick a three-point penalty, rather than | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
go for a match-winning try. Robshaw took responsibility for that | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
decision T might have cost the side the match. | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
In Cardiff, Wales were looking for a first win over New Zealand since | :09:37. | :09:46. | |
1953. Those hopes soon looked forlorn. Messam's try helped. Wales | :09:46. | :09:54. | |
at last showed some spirit. Two late tries, including one from | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
Cuthbert. 33-10 the final score. In Dublin, Ireland produced a | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
commanding performance to guarantee a top eight ranking ahead of the | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
World Cup draw. They ran in seven tries in a 46-24 | :10:06. | :10:13. | |
win over Argentina. There were two each or Tommy Bowe and Jonathan | :10:13. | :10:23. | |
:10:23. | :10:30. | ||
Sexton. On's dismal form continued. 21-15 to Tonga in Aberdeen. | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
Match of the Day follows the news on BBC One, so if you don't want to | :10:34. | :10:38. | |

Redknapp was confirmed as the new manager of Queens Park Rangers this | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
morning and he was in the stands for their game against Manchester | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
United. The former Spurs boss watched on as United came from | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
behind to beat QPR 3-1 taking United top of the Premier League | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
while QPR remain bottom of the table. | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
West Brom's excellent start to the season continues. They're up to | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
third place after a 4-2 win over Sunderland. While Jordi Gomez | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
scored a hat-trick for Wigan as they beat Reading 3-2. Neil Lennon | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
has threatened to quit as Celtic manager after an angry altercation | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
with his own fans. Celtic lost to Inverness Cally Thistle but are top | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
of the Scottish Premier League by just one point. Aberdeen are in | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
second after victory over third placed Hibernian. Formula One's | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
World Championship will be decided tomorrow in the final race of the | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
season in Brazil. Championship leader, Sebastain Vettel, starts in | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
4th place and will win the title if challenger Fernando Alonso does not | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
make a podium finish. Britain's Lewis Hamilton is on pole position | :11:27. | :11:30. | |

on BBC1 from 3.00pm. Tributes have been paid to the actor Larry Hagman | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
who's died at the age of 81, after suffering from cancer. He was best | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
known for playing the scheming oil tycoon JR Ewing in the hit TV | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
series Dallas. Linda Gray, who played his on-screen wife, Sue | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
Ellen, said he'd been her best friend for 35 years. Lizo Mzimba | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
looks back at his career. In one of the biggest shows of the | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
1980s he was the undoubted star, playing the cheating JR Ewing, a | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
man who constantly mistreated those around him. I don't have anything | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
to apologise for. You gambled and you lost. You think you are going | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
to blackmail me? You are out of your league, honey. I want a | :12:28. | :12:35. | |
divorce. None more so than his long-suffering wife. You are a | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
drunk. The sooner we have you put away the better off you will be. | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
Don't leave me here! You boys take care of her. The Who Shot JR | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
storyline helped make him a global star, with the tapes revealing the | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
killer's identity being delivered to the UK under heavy security. | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
This is my son... When the series was revived this year, he repriced | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
his most famous role and in an interview just three months ago, he | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
told me what he thought was the reason for JR's long-standing | :13:06. | :13:15. | |
appeal. Everyone in the world has a jerk like JR in the family. | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
Everybody can identify with that. And audiences certainly did relate, | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
watching for years in millions, a character who was hated, as much as | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
the actor who played him was loved. Larry Hagman who has died at the | :13:31. | :13:39. |
