Britain have started operating armed droned aircraft over Afghanistan for | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
the first time from British soil. The Ministry of Defence said that | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
#k7 reaper drones are operated by remote control from a base in | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
Lincolnshire Here is our Defence Correspondent. RAF personnel used to | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
fly the Reaper aircraft remotely from Creech Air Force Base in | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
Nevada. In October of last year, the RAF created 13 squadron based at RAF | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
Waddington, including pilot, systems operators and engineers. Now | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
piloting missions over Afghanistan from Lincolnshire. The RAF's Reaper | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
drones are used for surveillance and reconnaissance. They are piloted | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
remotely but launched and landed with human help at Kandahar air | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
base. The UK is doubling the number of Reapers to ten. They can carry | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
bombs and Hellfire missiles for strikes on insurgents by the flight | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
crew under strict British rules of engagement. We are not out to kill | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
bad guys in the Yemen or Pakistan, this is supporting British troops | :01:34. | :01:43. | |
and Afghan nation rebuilding. CND and the drone campaign network | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
and the Stop the War Coalition are aiming to campaign. They say that | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
this marks a critical expansion in the nation's drone programme. | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
we are doing is increasing the bitterness, hatred and the anger | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
that the people in the region feel to us. That is not good for anyone. | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
However, the British drones are news not used outside of Afghanistan in | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
the same way as America's CIA airstrikes which many believe do | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
violate international law. You can find out how the drones work and how | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
they operate by visit visiting bbc.co.uk/news. The details are | :02:21. | :02:29. | |
there for you. A young woman, killed in a road accident involving a | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
minibus and Lori on the M 62 motorway has been named by the | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
police. 18-year-old Bethany Jones died at the scene near Castleford in | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
West Yorkshire. 21 passengers had been in the minibus on the way to a | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
hen that were admitted to hospital. The driver of the Lori has been | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
released on police bail. A police watchdog is saying that its | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
investigation of a Taser of a man who caused him to die, was that he | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
was caused to die of serious burns. The Independent Police Complaints | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
Commission are to examine why the office used the weapon on the | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
32-year-old from Plymouth. To his family, a fantastic son and a dear | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
brother, Andrew Plimlott now dead from horrific burns. The police | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
found him holding a can of fuel. It is not clear what happened next but | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
he was engulfed in flames and a Taser used. The IPCC say that their | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
investigation is looking at what information was known to the | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
officers attend tending the scene. The rationale for discharging a | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
Taser, known to be doused on a person in flammable liquid and | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
whether or not the discharge caused the fuel to ignite. There are more | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
than 12,000 Tasers on the streets of England and Wales, in the hands of | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
especially trained officers. In 2011 they were fired more than 1,000 | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
times. The police say because they are replacing the use of firearms, | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
that they are saving lives. But there have been increasing numbers | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
of complaints about their use. Here while the man is on the ground. In | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
another, a Taser was used on a blind man when the police mistook his cane | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
for a sword. With firearms there is always a very long training process. | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
With the Taser training it is three days. I have always said that it is | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
not long enough for the risk and the consequences. Front line officers | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
have called for a triple in the numbers of Tasers. For them it is a | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
life-safer, protecting the police and the public, but campaigners fear | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
it becoming a weapon of first choice, leading to injuries and on | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
rare occasion, even death. ??FORCEDWHIT North Korea has | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
announced it will try an American careen -- it will try an | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
American-careen man for attempting to overthrow the government. This | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
latest development could inflame the tensions between the US and the | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
North Korea. With relations deeply fraught after the north warned it | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
was ready to launch military strikes against America. The police in | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
Bangladesh have arrested two engineers involved in the design of | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
the building that collapsed on Wednesday, causing the death of more | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
than 320 people. At least 19 survivors were culled -- pulled from | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
the rubble of the clothing factory. The most serious disaster to hit the | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
garment industry that supplies clothes to Western brands. The | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
police in New York have found what appears to be a part of the landing | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
gear of one of the planes used in the September 11 attack attacks used | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
in 2001. It was discovered wedged between two buildings in lower | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
Manhattan. The site of the worst ever terror attack on the US soil, | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
but more than 11-and-a-half years after 9/11, this piece of metal, | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
bearing a Boeing identification number has been discovered three | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
streets away. It was found on Wednesday, wedged between the site | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
of a mosque and another building. The police in New York believe it is | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
part of the landing gear of one of the planes that hit the World Trade | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
Center. They are treating this as a crime scene. What happened, what | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
will happen now is we wait until Monday morning, the Medical Examer | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
will do an xrags of the part to see if it is tooksic in any way. Check | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
to see if there are any human remains at the site. Almost 3,000 | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
people died in the September 11 attacks on America. While rubble | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
from the twin towers was cleared, the debris has been found scattered | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
in areas nearby since then. Now, the latest discovery. For the families | :06:55. | :07:00. |
