of Belfast, as hundreds of police have to be drafted in from other

parts of the UK. Yesterday's riots are condemned as shameful by Chief

Constable Matt Baggott, who blamed leaders of the Orange Order for

inciting running street battles. They have no plan and no control.

And rather than being responsible, I think the word for that is reckless.

A controversial scheme to allow terminally ill patients to die

peacefully is expected to be phased out in England. An investigation is

launched after the deaths of a mother and her two young sons in

Devon. Police say they were known to social services. Ian Bell goes

through to his 18th test match 100. In the Ashes, England are in a

commanding position in the first Test at Trent Bridge. And soaking up

the sun. Thousands flock to parks and beaches on what has been the

Police have come under attack in North Belfast for a second

consecutive nights. Hundreds of officers from around the UK were

drafted to Northern Ireland after riots yesterday left more than 30

police officers injured. The Chief Constable of Northern Ireland has

condemned the violence as shameful. Our Ireland correspondent Chris

Buckler reports. He is in Belfast for us tonight. More trouble this

evening? Yes, and some of the extra officers have been on the front-line

of the evening facing violence, having been brought in Northern

Ireland. The 12th of July is the height of the marching season and a

traditional time of tension here. But the 12th is over and trouble

continues. Residential streets have once again become a battle ground in

Belfast. Any debate about parades, culture or identity lost in

violence. With the police once again the target of frustrations. But so

far the trouble has not been on the same scale as last night. When large

crowds had to be forced back by police. The Parades Commission made

a ruling that this march would not be allowed to pass the Nationalist

Ardoyne area of north Belfast but the police had to enforce that

decision and many officers were injured. And Northern Ireland's

Chief const believes -- believes the Orange Order must bear some

responsibility after calling for protests. Some of their language was

emotive and having called thousands of people to protest they had no

plan and no control. And rather than being responsible I think the word

for that is reckless. Orangemen claimed they were not allowed to

walk the disputed 300 yards stretch of road because Republican violence

followed last year's parade. The Democratic Unionist MP Nigel Dodds

was among those knocked unconscious during this year's trouble involving

loyalists. The Orange Order called for peaceful protest and they were

quite clear that they did not want violence. In fact, they made it very

clear in their statement that it was Republican violence that stopped the

parade, violence would not get it started again. Hundreds of police

officers had already been brought in to Northern Ireland from other parts

of the UK ahead of the parades. They have now been joined by hundreds

more after last night's trouble. hope now in the cold light of day

that common sense will prevail, that people will recognise that we have

to find solutions. There have also been peaceful protests by unionists

keen to show their anger, much of it targeted at the police. The police

were under attack last night because they instigated a fight and when

people are attacked the adrenaline kicks in and you fight back and that

is simply what happened. I will not condone violence but I will refuse

to condemn what happened last night. And again, some are ignoring calls

for calm in a city where flags have become a symbol of fury and parades

a source of division. It is worth emphasising that far fewer people

have been involved in the violence tonight compared to last night and

it has been in one concentrated area of the city, not in other parts of

Belfast as it was last night. Nonetheless, politicians of all

opinions agree that this disorder must be stopped and quickly.

A controversial plan designed to allow terminally ill patients a

peaceful death is expected to be phased out in England. The scheme,

known as the Liverpool Care Pathway, patients can have their

medication stopped and their feeding ended. Critics say it has killed

people who would have lived and is used to clear beds and save money.

Our health correspondent Adam Brimelow reports.

More than half a million people die in the UK every year. Providing a

comfortable death whenever possible is a fundamental challenge for the

NHS. It is what the Liverpool Care Pathway is for. For some at least

that is not happening. Tony Kinsella from Cheshire has been four

relatives put on the pathway. None had the care he would have wanted.

It is the lack of care. It says it is the care pathway. It is actually,

to me, the uncaring pathway. Put them in a room, dehydrate them, let

them die. You would not do it to a dog, you would not do it to a

nominal -- an animal. You would be in prison if you let an animal die

like that over 24 hours. Liverpool Care Pathway was a way of

extending the principles of hospice care to other settings such as

hospitals and care homes. It sets out guidance on how to support a

dignified death rather than an ever more desperate battle to sustain

life. It is a model of care for people in their final days and

hours. The starting point is recognition that the patient is

dying, prompting a fundamental review of care and treatment for all

the patient's needs. That may mean withdrawal of medication or

providing food fluids, but patients or their families must be told.

Failure to keep families informed has fuelled concerns the pathway is

being used to hasten death, to free up beds and to save money. So now,

review is expected to say it should be phased out. But doctors say new

guidelines need to be backed up with resources. It is very often about a

lack of staff completely or a lack of appropriately stained --

appropriately trained staff and those are things we have to deal

with to make sure that people get the power they need and the care

that they want. End of life specialists say what is needed above

all is clarity and good communication. Guidelines used in

Wales could offer a possible model. The full details of the review's

findings will be published on Monday.

Police investigating the deaths of a mother and her two sons in Devon say

the family were known to social services. The bodies of Katherine

Hooper and her five-year-old son Joshua were found yesterday at the

bottom of a cliff in Dartmoor. Her two-year-old son Samuel was found

dead at home. Officers confirmed they are not looking for anyone else

in connection with the incidents, a Sarah Ransome.

All-day stream of friends and neighbours have been coming to lay

floral tributes and soft toys. Many shocked and stunned at the deaths.

It was out of the blue, it should not have happened. Gorgeous,

gorgeous little boys and everybody is just distraught over it. Rescue

teams were called to the base of a 100 foot rock at this popular beauty

spot on Dartmoor. There they found the bodies of 24-year-old Katherine

Hooper and her five-year-old son, Joshua. Later, when police went to

their home 20 miles away, they found the body of her two-year-old,

Samuel. The boys' father Neil Patterson says he is devastated at

the three deaths. Today, it has emerged Katherine Hooper was known

to social services and the police say they now have now referred the

matter to a serious case review in order to establish if the

authorities could have done more to help the family. Torbay Council says

this is a tragic incident and is offering all the support it can to

those affected. This is a murder enquiry but detectives say they are

not looking for anyone else as they try to piece together the events

that led to the deaths of a young mother and her two young sons.

A controlled explosion is being carried out on part of a device that

detonated outside a mosque in Tipton yesterday. West Midlands Police and

specialist Army bomb disposal officers were called in after a

night was found in the back garden of a nearby building. Yesterday's

blast has been described as an act of terrorism and although no one was

hurt, police say many could have been hit by nails and baby. Air

accident investigators say there is no evidence of fire on board an

empty Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft at Heathrow was caused by the

plain's batteries. The Ethiopian Airlines jet had arrived on a

routine flight from Addis Ababa yesterday when the fire broke out.

Earlier this year, all Dreamliners were temporarily grounded because

batteries overheated on two of the aircraft.

A faulty section of track may have caused the derailment of a passenger

train in France which left six dead and nearly 200 injured.

Investigators have been examining the scene of the crash on -- 12

miles out of Paris from where our Europe respondent Chris Morris

reports. Clearing up the baby from the worst

train crash in France for many years. There have been multiple

casualties and some of the injured are in critical condition. This

student from east London was on a train waiting at a neighbouring

platform when the accident happened. You could see that the train was

upside down, completely destroyed and I could see people inside as

well crying. It was really hard. I went there to help and there was

blood everywhere. Part of the train smashed into one of the platforms

prompting a massive emergency response. The train had just left

Paris, travelling south to Limoges but just after 5pm on Friday

afternoon it crashed at Bretigny with 385 passengers on board. The

statement train company SNCF says metal bar connecting two rails on

the of broken 200 metres from the station. Six carriages derailed as

the train passed through at high speed. Three enquiries have started

said the head of SNCF. He admitted the company has to be responsible

for the likes of its passengers. Thousands of switching points across

the French rail network will now be tested for similar potential faults.

But the focus here is still on accounting for anyone who may be

missing. It is painstaking work for those involved, trying to find out

whether anybody's may still be hidden beneath the wreckage. It

could take a couple of days for this crane to clear the tracks

completely, moving the mangled carriages will be a slow and

difficult process. Trying to ensure that an accident like this does not

happen again could take a lot longer. Because the government is

facing criticism that an ageing infrastructure has been starved of

investment. A rude awakening for everyone as France prepares to mark

bastille day. Let's take you to all the day's

sport with Katie Gornall, who is at the BBC Sport Centre.

It is advantage England in the first Ashes test after another enthralling

day's play at Trent Bridge. Ian Bell hit a century to help set Australia

a victory target of 311. Then with the game in the balance in England

took three late wickets to reduce the tourists to 174-6 at the close.

Joe Wilson reports as the match heads into a fifth and final day.

After seven hours in ceaseless son, Nottingham's cricket supporters were

hot but not necessarily bothered. England exuberant. Australia still

had enough hope to put on a good show for the camera. First we saw

Ian Bell make a century, surrounded by tension in his calm batting made

English victory seem feasible. I asked him if it was the best innings

of his England career. I think I would agree with that. It is my best

Ashes innings. It was nice to put an innings together when the team

needed it most come so to use those skills to get us a decent lead on

this pitch was very satisfying. Australia was at a Trent Bridge

record run chase to win the match, 311 for victory. They batted with

belief. A divorcing on the board. England's early plans were blunted.

Stuart Broad got rid of Jane Watson, LBW, a breakthrough, but he loomed

with just one wicket taken, entered Joe Root, part-time spinner, full on

celebrations. Chris Rogers had batted faultlessly to 52 and then

this. Still captain Michael Clarke was the key wicket, giving out here

but did he hit it? He called for review. All replays were available

and we saw the faintest glimmer the back on the hotspot camera. Out.

161-4. When Graeme Swann grabbed two quick LBWs, Smith Ann Hughes,

England knew they were on the brink. Australia still 136 behind. On the

final morning here a Trent Bridge it will be full. It will be noisy with

just four wickets left to take it should be and England's victory so

cool down whilst you can because the big excitement is still to come.

James Dasaolu has become the fastest -- second-fastest Briton in history

after a stunning running Burnley. The 25-year-old ran 9.91 seconds in

a semifinal of the 100 metres, faster than the world record-holder

Usain Bolt has managed this year. Linford Christie is the only Briton

to have one quicker -- run quicker. He missed the final due to cramp.

Dwain Chambers took the title in his absence. Chris Froome has retained

the yellow jersey after today's 14 stage of the Tour de France. The

Italian Matteo Trentin won a sprint finish to secure his first victory

as a professional. Chris Froome finished further back to maintain

his advantage of nearly 2.5 minutes over his nearest rivals. David Moyes

has lost his first match in charge of Manchester United. His side were

beaten 1-0 in their opening game in the Far East and Australia. The new

manager was without several players including Wayne Rooney for the

friendly in Bangkok. The only goal of the game. In England's women's

rugby team, they have lost their opening match against New Zealand.

29-10. Iwan how shall we end? It has been the hottest day of the year so

far. The mercury hit 31 Celsius in London with high temperatures across

the rest of the South. However the scorching weather was not enjoyed

everywhere. Parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland were some 10

Celsius cooler. Sangita Myska reports.

Whether it was the Red Arrows roaring through Yeovil's blue skies

all those aboard a more leisurely form of transport in Scarborough,

people in England and Wales have not this week at travel far to

experience temperatures normally reserved for the French Riviera.

Today, that culminated in the capital city registry has the

hottest place in the UK, hitting a sizzling 30 Celsius and prompting

precautionary measures from those seeking the sun. Is your umbrella

working for you? Yes, definitely, otherwise I will become a roast

chicken may be. I am a bit of a sun goddess. I have a pale skinned but I

have to take the fake stuff to get a real-time. I had a water fight and

it was fun. While in London's parks it has been picture perfect weather

for that special day, other areas have not fared quite so well. If you

live in is southern England there is at least one more week worth of lazy

sunny summer afternoons to come. Elsewhere in the country, things

have already turned significantly cooler and there is a risk of

thunderstorms ahead. Most of England and Wales has been well and truly in

the red, that is where the focus of the heat has been. It sparked one or

two thunderstorms. Across Northern Ireland and Scotland it has been

cooler than in previous days. and southern England will continue

to bask in plenty of sunshine and those out in it are advised to use

sunscreen and stay cool. We will enjoy it while we can. From

all of us here, a very good night, have just heard about is here to

stay, especially for England and Wales. Not comfortable for all as we

have heard with the mercury reaching the high 20s or low 30s. Another hot

night to night and another hot day tomorrow. It means the Met office

have a heatwave warning out especially for south-western parts

of England but again, it will be cut across many parts of England and

Wales. It is already fresher in the north, so some good news. The storms

that the heat has triggered will tend to rumble themselves out in the

next couple of hours. In the South in particular, there will be

humidity and temperature is uncomfortable for sleeping. Much

fresher in the north but the weather systems are close by. Still some

sunshine to be enjoyed. Very pleasant temperatures indeed in

northern areas, perhaps a little fresher also after we have cleared

the mist and fog across northern England. In the south again it is

going to be a hot one, temperatures pushing towards 30 Celsius

triggering a few sharp showers potentially for the Southeast and

East Anglia. Perhaps a bit of sea mist for Yorkshire and Lincolnshire

and where we have a lower temperatures around the coasts and

Northern Ireland and parts of central and southern Scotland, the

sun is just as strong. It is not dependent on the temperature. It
