The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson who led the campaign to leave the | :00:22. | :00:33. | |
European Union has defended a newspaper article in favour of the | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
EU, it just two days before he announced he was back in the Leave | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
campaign. He warns of the economic and constitutional risks Brexit | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
would pose. Mr Johnson said he wrote the article along with another one | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
in favour of leaving the EU in order to clarify his thoughts. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
He's the Foreign Secretary who is supposed to be | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
But just days before coming out for the Leave campaign, | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
Boris Johnson wrote an article singing the praises | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
Everyone was trying to make up their minds about whether or not | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
to leave the European Union, and it was perfectly true back | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
in February, I was wrestling with it, like a lot | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
And I wrote a long piece which came down overwhelmingly | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
I then thought I had better see if I can make | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
I set them side-by-side and it was blindly obvious | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
And I think the people made the right decision. | :01:30. | :02:06. | |
The Sunday Times printed the column in which Mr Johnson said the EU came | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
He went on to say that the UK should be ultimately engaged | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
with the European Union and suggested that Brexit could lead | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
to an economic shock or even the break-up of the United Kingdom. | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
But now Mr Johnson is one of those charged with steering | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
There's a battle brewing between the government | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
and backbenchers over whether Parliament should get | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
to vote on the details of the Brexit negotiations. | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
Whilst the government has a mandate to put us out of the | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
European Union, they don't have a mandate how to do that. | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
And that is why it is important the government strengthens its own | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
hand and also subjects its own ideas to the sort of scrutiny | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
of the parliament before they go to the negotiations. | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
A parliamentary vote on the issue would be a risk though, | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
because if the government were to lose, the triggering | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
of Article 50, which Theresa May has promised by the end of March, | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
And some on the front bench say parliament | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
This is not about using Parliament as a vehicle | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
to subvert the democratic will of the British public. | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
Debates are happening, there will be a significant debate, | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
several debates I suspect, around the great repeal bill. | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
We have new committees, select committee in the House | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
of Commons, we have a new secretary of state in David Davis | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
They are in and out of the Commons on a daily basis. | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
The referendum might have been decided, but the direction of travel | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
for Britain's exit from the EU and who will get to have a say, | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
A former member of the SAS has said he is being investigated | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
by the Royal Military Police, after revealing that he shot dead | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
severely injured enemy fighters during the Iraq War in 2003. | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
Colin MacLachan, who was featured in the Channel Four programme, | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
SAS: Who Dares Wins, describes in a new book how he acted | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
More than a decade on from Britain's military intervention in Iraq and | :03:37. | :03:48. | |
more questions about what was done in Britain's name. Colin MacLachan | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
was then a Sergeant in the SAS. Here he can be seen in a TV series about | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
special forces training and endurance. But it is his | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
contribution to a chapter in a new book that has led to fresh | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
controversy about wartime behaviour and how it is judged. The former | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
Sergeant says he took part in the killing of three Iraqi army soldiers | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
after they had been very badly injured in an ambush. In the book he | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
writes: What he called mercy killings were, | :04:20. | :04:32. | |
he said, for the greater good. But now Colin MacLachan says he is under | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
investigation for what he did. The Ministry of Defence says credible | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
investigations of criminal behaviour will always be investigated. The | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
Prime Minister has made it clear she disapproves of the prosecution of | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
soldiers for their actions in wartime. But no military units and | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
no soldier is above the law. Questions about actions in Iraq will | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
not go away. People will have different opinions | :04:59. | :05:11. | |
on this, but what is the legal position? There is growing concern | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
about what happened in Iraq. The Iraq historical allegations team is | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
looking at more than 1300 separate incidents. And there is a growing | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
argument that what happened in wartime should be dealt differently | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
with what happens in peace time. What Colin MacLachan says he did was | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
against the law and against the Geneva Convention Britain is signed | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
up to. It says if you are out of combat as a result of your wounds, | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
you must be treated humanely. Supporters of Colin MacLachan will | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
say, the most humane thing would be to shoot these men, but the law and | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
the convention sees it differently. MPs have accused Labour of failing | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
to deal properly with allegations of anti-Semitism in the party - | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
and have criticised Jeremy Corbyn for not providing adequate | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
leadership in addressing the issue. Mr Corbyn has rejected the findings | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
of the report by the Commons' Home Affairs Committee, | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
saying its focus on Labour was unjustifiable - | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
when there was no reliable evidence to suggest it had a greater | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
problem with anti-Semitism Police have reopened the case of two | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
11-year-old friends murdered in Merseyside 36 years ago - | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
after receiving new information. John Greenwood and Gary Miller died | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
after being found beaten and hidden under a mattress on a rubbish tip | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
in Whiston on 16 August 1980. A man was tried for their murders | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
in 1981, but found not guilty. Detectives have made a new appeal | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
for anybody who saw the boys on the day | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
of the murders to come forward. Rebel groups in Syria say they've | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
captured the town of Dabiq Many of the fighters have | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
been backed by Turkey. Talks to discuss the crisis in Syria | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
are taking place in The foreign ministers of France, | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
Germany, Britain and Donald Trump has accused his | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
Democratic rival Hillary Clinton of taking performance enhancing | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
drugs before last week's US The Republican candidate is also | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
suggesting they both take a substance test before the final | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
debate on Wednesday. The Donald Trump campaign | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
for President rolls on and into New Hampshire, | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
where despite a string of recent sexual allegations against him, | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
he shows no signs of wavering in his battle against | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
Hillary Clinton. This time alleging she may have | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
taken drugs in their last debate, and saying they both should be | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
tested for drugs before She was all pumped up | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
at the beginning, and at the end So I think we should | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
take a drug test. And he suggested that | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
Hillary Clinton's conspicuous absence from campaigning was due | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
to the fact she was A recent talk show appearance seemed | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
to suggest otherwise. We're going to be choosing | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
a President who will set policy. A heavily doctored clip | :08:05. | :08:14. | |
which the Democratic The Democratic nominee | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
for Vice-President, Tim Kaine, said Donald Trump was desperate, | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
as he continues to claim the media and the establishment are trying | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
to rig the elections And now that he thinks he's | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
going to lose, he's going around and saying, oh, | :08:28. | :08:42. | |
the whole thing's rigged. Next stop a Republican Hindu | :08:43. | :08:43. | |
coalition fund raiser in New Jersey. Donald Trump insists he wants to be | :08:44. | :08:53. | |
a President for all citizens, to bring what he says | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
is a divided country together. The last of their presidential | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
debates takes place on Wednesday. Andy Murray has won the Shanghai | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
Masters for the third time. He beat Spain's | :09:01. | :09:19. | |
