More evidence tonight pointing to a bomb as the cause of the Russian | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
A week after the disaster, investigators say the plane broke up | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
very suddenly after an unexplained sound on its flight recorder. | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
A noise was heard in the last second of the CVR recording. | :00:19. | :00:27. | |
More planes bring British tourists home from Egypt. | :00:28. | :00:28. | |
But it could take ten days to bring them all back. | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
We will have the latest on the investigation. | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
David Cameron issues his strongest warning yet that he's | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
prepared to back leaving the EU if there's no reform. | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
The six-year-old boy shot dead in his father's car. | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
Two US police officers are charged with his murder. | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
And the new household essential, a promise of broadband | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
Investigators in Egypt have said the Russian passenger plane | :00:54. | :01:19. | |
which crashed last weekend suffered a sudden and catastrophic break-up. | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
They've confirmed there was an unexplained noise | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
on the plane's voice recorder, at the moment the disaster unfolded. | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
French investigators have told the BBC they believe that to be | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
Our correspondent Mark Lowen is in the Egyptian resort | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
First from Egypt there was denial, then anger but today the hint of an | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
acceptance that something untoward may have caused the crash of the | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
This was the first time the authorities here gave detail of the | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
Journalists were not allowed inside Sharm el-Sheikh airport today. | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
This is a nervous country wary of a negative image but perhaps the | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
A week on from flight 9268 they remembered. | :02:00. | :02:17. | |
Russian soldiers laying tributes at the site of their nation's worse | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
It's becoming clear something sinister caused the crash. | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
Egyptian officials today said debris was scattered over 13 kilometres, | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
The auto-pilot was engaged until the end of the black box | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
recording and there was a sudden sound on the data recorder. | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
A noise was heard in the last second of the CVR recording. | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
A spectral analysis will be carried out by specialised labs in order to | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
An American TV network says US officials have reported they picked | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
up chatter between ISIS operatives boasting | :02:48. | :02:48. | |
The Egyptian Government today hit out saying intelligence was | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
We are the party which is mainly connected with | :02:53. | :03:04. | |
the issue and we expected to have the information on a technical | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
level, instead of it being released to the media in this public manner. | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
But that's refuted by the British Ambassador here, insisting there's | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
been constant co-operation and that Downing Street is reviewing | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
The situation that's going on is very frustrating for everybody | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
involved because it's an attack that's caused great human tragedy. | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
I personally have been in close contact with | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
the Egyptian Government around the clock at the highest level. | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
We have made all the information available and we have explained to | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
them the basis for our decision-making and I am sure every | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
Meanwhile, the travel chaos continues. | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
British planes are flying elsewhere in Egypt. | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
The current assessment is that it's safe. | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
The airport is struggling to cope with this logistical challenge | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
but it could be overwhelmed as Russians too try to leave | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
after Moscow's dramatic decision to suspend all flights to Egypt. | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
79,000 Russians are thought to be in this country. | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
The backlog of people trying to fly from here will last for days. | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
And that's the worry for Rob and his family waiting for news | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
of their flight to Luton, now delayed for three days. | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
Regular calls to easyJet have given him no update, | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
They're getting tired of living out of suitcases and simply want clarity | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
We are out of money, we are out of clothes. | :04:29. | :04:40. | |
With three little kids sort of getting now clued up | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
on what's going on and they're getting a bit panicky, as well. | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
So the frustration for passengers goes on but for Egypt, which | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
If a bomber did infiltrate this resort bringing down a plane, | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
the impact will be felt far beyond these shores. | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
Mark Lowen, BBC News, Sharm el-Sheikh. | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
The investigating team said it was too early to say for certain that | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
But their initial findings will add to fears that | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
Our diplomatic correspondent James Robbins reports. | :05:09. | :05:20. | |
The Egyptian-led investigation in the desert is huge. | :05:21. | :05:21. | |
There are no conclusions yet but what was disclosed today is telling. | :05:22. | :05:30. | |
First, the spread of wreckage, scattered over a vast area of the | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
Sinai desert about eight miles in length, that only happens when an | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
Second, the flight data recorder shows auto-pilot was engaged | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
until the recording stops, suggesting the flight crew had no | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
warning of disaster or they would have taken back manual control. | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
And, most telling of all, an unexplained noise was picked up | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
by the cockpit voice recorder in the final second. | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
All the data from the two recorders will have | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
Although the Egyptians insist the transcript of conversations is | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
not yet complete, experts say spectral analysis of that final | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
second of unexplained noise, looking at the wave form, the signature of | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
They know what an explosion sounds like. | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
They know what a fuel tank blowing up sounds | :06:17. | :06:28. | |
like and they know the sound of an aeroplane coming apart. | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
From all the evidence, if a bomb is eventually confirmed, | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
then the Russians were victims of an extremist outrage perhaps | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
All sorts of hints, particularly in Washington, | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
point to possible involvement of so-called Islamic State. | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
Although Britain and the United States refuse to discuss their | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
specific intelligence publicly, the fact that Russia has now | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
suspended flights to all Egyptian destinations, an even more drastic | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
response than Britain's, suggests the Kremlin fears their | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
And if so-called Islamic State was behind it, that would be | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
It would mark a major shift in tactics, | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
The consequences would be felt far beyond Egypt and Russia | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
and governments would face a new test - could they put aside | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
some of their differences in the face of such a growing menace? | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
The Prime Minister is to issue his strongest warning yet that | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
if European Union leaders fail to meet his demands | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
for a new relationship with the EU, he will consider leaving it. | :07:26. | :07:40. | |
As he sets out the changes he wants in Britain's relationship with | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
Europe. Our political correspondent is in Downing Street. A tougher tone | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
but are we getting more details about what he wants? Yes, this will | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
be the strongest warning yet from the Prime Minister to other EU | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
leaders that February doesn't get what he wants, then he is prepared | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
to consider life outside the European Union. He will say that if | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
they turn a deaf ear to his demands, which he does not expect, then we | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
will have to think again about whether the European Union is right | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
for us. Now, that speech will coincide with the publication of | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
this much anticipated letter that he is going to write to the President | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
of the European Council Donald Tusk. Downing Street say that will set out | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
the broad outline of his agenda, undoubtedly Eurosceptics will say we | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
still want to see much more detail but we do already know that he wants | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
an end to that commitment to ever closer union. He wants to restrict | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
the benefits which EU migrants can claim and he wants more protection | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
for the countries that are outside the eurozone. We are now about to | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
see the start of those formal negotiations. David Cameron is | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
making it clear that if he doesn't get what he wants, then he is | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
prepared to walk away. But ultimately, it will be down to all | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
of us in that referendum by the end of 2017. Thank you very much. | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
The Work and Pensions Secretary, Iain Duncan Smith, is said to be | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
resisting efforts by the Treasury to make the new Universal Credit | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
The Chancellor, George Osborne, is seeking new savings after | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
the House of Lords rejected his plans to cut working tax credits. | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
A close ally of Mr Duncan Smith said protecting Universal Credit was | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
Sierra Leone has been declared free from the Ebola virus by the World | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
Health Organisation, after six weeks without a case of the disease. | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
The WHO said the country would now enter a 90-day | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
period of enhanced surveillance to detect any new cases. | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
Nearly 4,000 people have died from Ebola in Sierra Leone. | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
When Sierra Leone finally won the war against Ebola. | :09:40. | :09:58. | |
Britain pledged hundreds of millions of pounds to the fight, | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
But what's most important is that the work that we have | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
What we don't want is a repeat performance and, therefore, | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
we hope that what we can put in place will ensure a resilience. | :10:13. | :10:21. | |
There's another legacy here, we are heading to Hill Station | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
When I was here last year at the height of the outbreak Save the | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
Children were training up community volunteers on how to stay safe. | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
I have returned to meet community nurse Joyce. | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
Last time, the avoid body contact rule was in full force. | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
We started to have casualties, we have one room. | :10:40. | :10:51. | |
15 of them die. Only this was the survivor. | :10:52. | :11:00. | |
Ibrahim and another family were hit by the virus here but the community | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
did manage to contain the outbreak to just those two households. | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
One of Ibrahim's most prized possessions | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
My younger brother, my younger sisters and my brothers, | :11:12. | :11:31. | |
infected and they did die. Ibrahim tells me he can't get a job. | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
So many Ebola survivors here face stigmatisation. | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
Many also report health problems after they recover. | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
This is the reality of what Ebola has left behind. | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
And it's why celebrations today are bittersweet. | :11:43. | :11:54. | |
Two police officers in the American state | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
of Louisiana have been charged with murder, after a six-year-old boy was | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
Jeremy Mardis was hit by five bullets and | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
From Washington, Laura Bicker reports. | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
Six-year-old Jeremy Mardis was strapped in his father's car. | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
It's thought they were being chased by police. | :12:13. | :12:13. | |
But soon after their car backed into an alley, shots were fired. | :12:14. | :12:22. | |
Five hit Jeremy in the head and the chest. | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
His father, Chris Few, was badly wounded. | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
Let me tell you something, I am not going to talk about it, | :12:30. | :12:37. | |
It is the most disturbing thing I have seen. | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
That little boy was buckled in the front seat of that vehicle | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
Late last night two police officers were arrested, | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
individuals described as having tarnished the police badge. | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
Officers Norris Greenhouse and Derrick Stafford are charged | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
This is the latest high-profile police shooting in the United States | :12:58. | :13:06. | |
and will add to growing criticism of perceived police brutality. | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
The six-year-old with autism was described as a delightful child who | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
Investigators have vowed to continue their inquiries | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
The Government is promising to provide all homes and businesses | :13:20. | :13:29. | |
in the UK with a fast internet connection by 2020. | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
It says broadband should be regarded as a basic, universal service. | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
Our business correspondent Rob Young has more. | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
Now the Government's adding broadband to the list. | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
But for many going online can be frustrating. | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
In some rural areas downloading can take ages, some still use painfully | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
About two million homes don't have access to fast internet. | :13:55. | :14:02. | |
The minimum speed most homes need to watch streaming video, for example, | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
The Government says everyone will be given the legal right to request | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
that type of fast connection no matter where they live. | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
This is for the most hard to reach premises and businesses that | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
people who, as it were, are in the very last 5% in very rural areas | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
and what this will do is give them a guarantee that over the next few | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
years they'll be able to get the kind of broadband speeds that | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
many people living in towns and cities have got used to. | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
Critics say previous digital promises have come to little. | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
Technology experts argue the Government's proposed speed | :14:37. | :14:37. | |
In five years' time, many parts of the countryside will be surfing at | :14:38. | :14:47. | |
The British Government have been something out of touch with reality | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
Famously back in around 2010 they said that Britain | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
should have the best superfast broadband in Europe by 2015. | :15:01. | :15:02. | |
Clearly, we have not met that objective and it's hard to see | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
whether or not this one is going to stand up to the test of time. | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
The Government's already spending ?1.5 billion extending superfast | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
internet to 95% of the UK connecting the rest won't be | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
Andy Murray has reached the Paris Masters tennis final for the | :15:19. | :15:28. | |
first time after a straight sets victory over Spain's David Ferrer. | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
He wrapped up the match 6-4, 6-3 and will meet top seed | :15:32. | :15:33. | |
and defending champion Novak Djokovic in tomorrow's final. | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
Murray will finish the year second in the world | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
And in Rugby League, New Zealand have levelled the Test series | :15:40. | :15:48. | |
against England with a 9-2 victory at London's Olympic Stadium. | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
Winger Shaun Kenny-Dowall scored the only try of the game. | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
The third and final test takes place next Saturday. | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
