Qatar denies any wrong doing after allegations that bribery helped win

:00:07.:00:14.

its bid to host the World Cup. There are demands for a new FIFA

:00:15.:00:19.

inquiry and for Qatar to be stripped of the 2022 competition if

:00:20.:00:22.

corruption is confirmed. Well it certainly looks serious.

:00:23.:00:27.

There needs to be an investigation. If it is shown that there were,

:00:28.:00:32.

there was bribery and corruption going on, then obviously the whole

:00:33.:00:36.

bidding process has to be looked at again. A man is arrested in France

:00:37.:00:40.

over the attack on a Jewish Museum in Belgium. He is suspected of links

:00:41.:00:46.

to Islamist fighters in Syria. The Met Office warns we face more summer

:00:47.:00:51.

storms and flash floods, as the world's climate warms. And Carl

:00:52.:00:55.

Froch says he threw the punch of his life to retain his supermiddleweight

:00:56.:00:58.

title. Good evening. Qatar has denied new

:00:59.:01:18.

allegations of corruption over the decision to award it the 2022

:01:19.:01:23.

football World Cup. The Sunday Times has obtained millions of leaked

:01:24.:01:27.

documents which are said to reveal payments made in return for votes.

:01:28.:01:28.

Qatar says that the man at the payments made in return for votes.

:01:29.:01:32.

Qatar says centre of the allegations played no role in their bid. Here,

:01:33.:01:33.

the head of the played no role in their bid. Here,

:01:34.:01:38.

has called for the contest to be rerun if corruption is

:01:39.:01:39.

has called for the contest to be sports editor reports.

today. The team flying from Luton to Miami to fine-tune their

:01:51.:01:53.

preparations before heading to Rio to be part of football's biggest

:01:54.:01:57.

party. But it was not Brazil that was

:01:58.:02:00.

party. making headlines today. It was

:02:01.:02:04.

future hosts Qatar, who are once again facing allegations that they

:02:05.:02:09.

broke FIFA's rules to secure the 2022 tournament. The Sunday Times

:02:10.:02:18.

alleges that Qatar's former FIFA Vice-President, Mohammed bin Hammam,

:02:19.:02:21.

used a secret fund of ?3 million to help his country win the bidding

:02:22.:02:23.

contest more than three years ago. help his country win the bidding

:02:24.:02:28.

Today, the head of the FA told me that if the allegations are proved,

:02:29.:02:32.

then FIFA should rerun the vote. I think if it is shown that it was a

:02:33.:02:38.

corrupt system and that the people who, the people who won used bribery

:02:39.:02:45.

and other influences to get the vote, then of course it has got to

:02:46.:02:50.

be done again. FIFA's chief investigator must now add these

:02:51.:02:55.

latest claims to his long-running inquiry into the World Cup bid.

:02:56.:02:59.

Today, Qatar once again denied any wrong doing. In a statement, they

:03:00.:03:01.

said: Despite the denial, Qatar cannot

:03:02.:03:24.

shake off the criticism, whether it is corruption, the heat or the

:03:25.:03:28.

treatment of migrant labourers. In an interview for the BBC before

:03:29.:03:32.

these latest claim, the head of FIFA said there was no doubt where the

:03:33.:03:37.

World Cup will be held in 2022. What I want to say for me the World Cup

:03:38.:03:44.

today is 2018 Russia. In 2022, Qatar. We are working on the next

:03:45.:03:49.

two World Cups. With stadium delays and concerns over protests, the

:03:50.:03:53.

World Cup in Brazil is already causing FIFA enough head quakes. It

:03:54.:03:58.

is the tournament eight years from now in Qatar which threatens to pose

:03:59.:04:06.

bigger problems for world football. French police have arrested a man

:04:07.:04:10.

suspected of in involvement in last week's attack on a museum in

:04:11.:04:13.

Brussels, in which three people were killed. The 29-year-old was taken

:04:14.:04:19.

into custody. Police say he is suspected with links with extremist

:04:20.:04:25.

groups fighting in Syria. A cold-blooded killing, caught on

:04:26.:04:30.

CCTV. Eight days ago, a man walked into the Jewish Museum in Brussels

:04:31.:04:33.

and opened fire with a handgun. And then a Kalashnikov.

:04:34.:04:38.

Three people were killed and another is clinically dead.

:04:39.:04:43.

Now, an arrest has been made at a bus station in Marseille after a

:04:44.:04:49.

random drugs search. This is the suspect in custody, named by

:04:50.:04:53.

prosecutors as Mehdi Nemmouche. He is being questioned at the

:04:54.:04:56.

headquarters of the French domestic intelligence agency. In his

:04:57.:05:01.

possession when he was arrested were guns of the type used in Brussels.

:05:02.:05:05.

One wrapped in a Jihadist flag and a video, in which the authorities say

:05:06.:05:09.

he claimed responsibility for if attack. -- for the attack. He was

:05:10.:05:15.

probably radicalised the last year and is presumed to have joined

:05:16.:05:20.

Jihadist fighting groups in 2013. At the scene of the crime, the museum

:05:21.:05:25.

is still closed and security is highly visible. All this could be

:05:26.:05:29.

part of a rather disturbing bigger picture.

:05:30.:05:33.

The potential connection between the shootings which happened here and

:05:34.:05:37.

the civil war in Syria will be of huge concern to Governments and

:05:38.:05:41.

intelligence agencies across Europe. Thousands of European citizens are

:05:42.:05:45.

known to have gone to Syria to fight for Jihadist groups. Monitoring

:05:46.:05:50.

those who return is now a priority. Jewish leaders here say security

:05:51.:05:54.

needs to remain tight. The President of the museum told me

:05:55.:05:59.

he took little satisfaction from the arrest in France. They have got a

:06:00.:06:05.

few thousand people who can replace this killer.

:06:06.:06:10.

It's a first step, but it is not finished.

:06:11.:06:15.

Images like this inside a museum mean this is an issue attracting the

:06:16.:06:19.

highest level of political attention.

:06:20.:06:24.

TRANSLATION: We are doing all we can, so these Jihadists either

:06:25.:06:31.

people in Syria or there now are followed and prevented from doing

:06:32.:06:34.

harm wherever they are and notably when they return to France and

:06:35.:06:41.

Europe. The Belgium authorities are

:06:42.:06:42.

Europe. for the extradition of the suspect.

:06:43.:06:49.

Many questions remain. And our security correspondent is

:06:50.:06:52.

here in the studio now. What do you make of the suggestion of a link to

:06:53.:06:57.

Islamist groups in Syria? When this man was arrested he had a

:06:58.:07:00.

Kalashnikov rifle with him, according to the French authorities

:07:01.:07:04.

and that rifle, that assault rifle was wrapped in the flag of the

:07:05.:07:18.

Islamic state in Iraq ir - it gets involved in beheadings and cruise

:07:19.:07:23.

figses. We don't know whether this man was so extreme in his

:07:24.:07:27.

personality that he would have done this even if he had not gone to

:07:28.:07:31.

Syria. This is the kind of things authorities here in Britain are

:07:32.:07:34.

worried about. They believe that over 500 Britons have gone to fight

:07:35.:07:37.

in Syria. Some will not come back. Some have been killed. Probably they

:07:38.:07:41.

will not form networks. What people are afraid of both here and in

:07:42.:07:46.

European countries is that people become so brutalised by what they

:07:47.:07:50.

have seen and done over there that they think nothing of carrying acts

:07:51.:07:57.

like this out over here. The husband of a nurse who was found dead in a

:07:58.:08:01.

car in Bournemouth has been charged with her murder. 44-year-old Rui Li

:08:02.:08:06.

who came to the UK ten years ago, had worked at Poole hospital since

:08:07.:08:11.

2009. She was last seen aLive8 days ago.

:08:12.:08:16.

In the last hour, police have confirmed the ied denties of three

:08:17.:08:21.

people killed yesterday at a motor racing rally in the Scottish

:08:22.:08:24.

Borders. There's been new information

:08:25.:08:29.

emerging from the police. Well, we now know the three who were

:08:30.:08:34.

killed have been named as John Provan, 63. Elizabeth Allen, who was

:08:35.:08:41.

63 and both of them were from Barr Head and John Leonard Stern, who was

:08:42.:08:45.

71. You may see the police cordon behind

:08:46.:08:50.

me. That is because police now have the very grim, the very delicate

:08:51.:08:55.

task of removing those bodies. I can tell you that the 61-year-old man

:08:56.:09:01.

who was also hit in this incident is now in a stable condition in

:09:02.:09:05.

hospital. There were two crashes here yesterday. From the earlier

:09:06.:09:11.

crash, around 2pm, a 61-year-old man remains critically ill in hospital.

:09:12.:09:14.

We are yet to hear from organisation niezers. In a statement they --

:09:15.:09:19.

organisers. In a statement they told us they are devastated and will work

:09:20.:09:22.

with police to find out what happened here. Thank you. An

:09:23.:09:27.

American soldier freed after five years in taubl captivity in

:09:28.:09:31.

Afghanistan is being treated tonight. Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl was

:09:32.:09:36.

exchanged for five senior Taliban prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay.

:09:37.:09:40.

The deal has been criticised by some senior Republicans who have accused

:09:41.:09:44.

President Obama of negotiating with terrorists.

:09:45.:09:53.

As the yellow ribbons of a vigil were replaced by balloons of

:09:54.:09:57.

celebration, the soldier began recuperation in Germany. The Taliban

:09:58.:10:02.

too were celebrating as their five captives reached Qatar, calling this

:10:03.:10:06.

a great victory. Those words will enrage President

:10:07.:10:09.

Obama's Republican opponents who see the decision to release the Taliban

:10:10.:10:14.

from Guantanamo Bay as giving way to terrorists. I don't think what we

:10:15.:10:23.

did in getting our prisoner of war released, in anyway would somehow

:10:24.:10:33.

encourage terrorists to take our American servicemen prisoner or

:10:34.:10:36.

hostage. He said he hoped the exchange might lead to a wider peace

:10:37.:10:40.

settlement with the Taliban. A source close to the Taliban said

:10:41.:10:43.

they have got what they want for now.

:10:44.:10:47.

President Obama appearing with Sergeant Bergdahl's parents did not

:10:48.:10:51.

inform the Afghan Government ahead of the swap.

:10:52.:10:55.

Sergeant Bergdahl has missed birthdays and holidays and the

:10:56.:10:59.

simple moments with family and friends which all of us take for

:11:00.:11:04.

granted. While he was gone, he was never forgotten. We cannot

:11:05.:11:10.

communicate the words this morning when we heard from the President.

:11:11.:11:15.

So, we look forward to continuing the recovery of our son, which is

:11:16.:11:20.

going to be a considerable task for our family.

:11:21.:11:26.

going to be a considerable task for It is a good day! One family

:11:27.:11:32.

reunited, just months before US combat operations end here. The Met

:11:33.:11:38.

Office is warning there'll be more summer flash floods because of

:11:39.:11:42.

climate change. A new report says while summers are expected to be

:11:43.:11:44.

drier by the next century intense while summers are expected to be

:11:45.:11:50.

rainfall means flash flooding will become more frequent.

:11:51.:11:54.

It is become more frequent.

:11:55.:11:57.

that is so terrifying. Oh, my God! become more frequent.

:11:58.:12:04.

needed somewhere to go. It was forced down the narrow valley.

:12:14.:12:20.

There were lucky escapes, but no-one was killed.

:12:21.:12:30.

There is the flood level. It is up to the guttering. I saw the water

:12:31.:12:34.

actually burst through my kitchen window. We had to evacuate. Now

:12:35.:12:43.

evidence shows that by the end of this century there's likely to be

:12:44.:12:47.

more severe flash flooding because of climate change. This model is

:12:48.:12:51.

incredibly realistic. For the first time it allows us to look at this

:12:52.:12:57.

hourly rainfall which is responsible for these intense downpours.

:12:58.:13:04.

This was Leicestershire last June. The Met Office simulations predict

:13:05.:13:08.

we could see more downpours like this. It is only one model.

:13:09.:13:15.

It uses the international panel on climate change's most extreme

:13:16.:13:19.

prediction data and only the southern half of the country was

:13:20.:13:23.

studied. Scientists say it is a piece of hard evidence. Urban areas

:13:24.:13:28.

are particularly vulnerable because drains are easily overwhelmed. There

:13:29.:13:32.

are solutions. Look at what they are doing here at this business park in

:13:33.:13:37.

Bristol. This concrete is permeable. There is a level of gravel. It can

:13:38.:13:42.

be held as a store. If it gets through that, the water can come

:13:43.:13:47.

down here to this grassy-lined gully, where it

:13:48.:13:49.

down here to this grassy-lined slowly. If that does not work, there

:13:50.:13:54.

is this tunnel. The scientists hope their model might help policy makers

:13:55.:14:00.

plan for the challenges faced by our climate. Time now for some sport.

:14:01.:14:06.

Over to Ore Oduba. Thank you very much. Well, 24 hours

:14:07.:14:11.

after one of the biggest nights in British boxing history, Carl Froch

:14:12.:14:14.

is keeping the door open on his career, saying he could have three

:14:15.:14:20.

or four more fights left in him. Retaned his titles -- retained his

:14:21.:14:26.

ditles after knocking -- his titles after knocking out George Groves.

:14:27.:14:30.

After the long build-up, full of talk and predictions it ended in a

:14:31.:14:36.

flash of a fist. My career would have been over. I

:14:37.:14:40.

would have retired if I had lost tonight. I did not want to go out

:14:41.:14:46.

and be remembered in the biggest of fight as being the loser. I take

:14:47.:14:50.

nothing away from George Groves. I came here tonight to win. Before the

:14:51.:14:55.

knockout, this one was even Stephens, with both men pushes for

:14:56.:15:02.

supremacy. As each round passed each had their moments of dominating. It

:15:03.:15:10.

continues round after round. There was nothing to separate them after

:15:11.:15:16.

seven, but in the eighth it changed, thanks to a brutal knockout punch

:15:17.:15:21.

few could recover from. So the first fight may have left so many

:15:22.:15:26.

unanswered questions - no questions remain after this bout. Carl Froch,

:15:27.:15:30.

a convincing victor and he remains the champion.

:15:31.:15:34.

Now, as you have heard on the programme England's World Cup squad

:15:35.:15:41.

have taken their final steps on home soil ahead of the tournament in

:15:42.:15:44.

Brazil. Roy Hodgson's team will land in

:15:45.:15:49.

Florida later tonight. The England manager said they are looking

:15:50.:15:53.

forward to the next few weeks. It will be a great adventure. We are

:15:54.:15:58.

all very excited about it. We have the perfect send off on Friday

:15:59.:16:03.

night. The crowd was magnificent. I think we are profiting from the

:16:04.:16:08.

positive mood. We feel positive. Arsenal ladies have won the FA Cup

:16:09.:16:13.

for a record 13th time after a 2-0 victory over Everton in Milton

:16:14.:16:17.

Keynes. A fantastic free kick from Kelly Smith set them on their way.

:16:18.:16:23.

Yukari Kinga scored the other. Arsenal lifted the trophy at the

:16:24.:16:26.

stadium MK. Andy Murray is through to the fourth

:16:27.:16:35.

round of the French open. Resuming at 7-7 after bad light ended play,

:16:36.:16:42.

it took Murray on to the 22nd fight to overcome the German. He will now

:16:43.:16:47.

play Fernando Verdasco for a place in the quarter finals. Northampton

:16:48.:16:53.

Saints have been celebrating. The trophy was paraded in front of

:16:54.:16:56.

thousands on the streets of Northampton. Saints first

:16:57.:17:01.

premiership crown was secured yesterday with victory over Saracens

:17:02.:17:07.

at Twickenham. Thank you. There is more on the BBC News Channel. We are

:17:08.:17:11.

back with the late news at 10. 10.30pm
