Plans to legalise gay marriage returns to the Commons with Tory MPs | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
and activists split. A second body is found in the rubble | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
of a house in Newark of a suspected gas explosion. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
A British man living in France is expected to be formally charged with | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
killing his two children. Also ahead: Britain's five-month | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
space mission. Major Tim Peake is thrilled to be Britain's first | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
official astronaut when he goes to the International Space Station. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
A blooming special birthday. The Chelsea Flower Show celebrates 100 | :00:50. | :01:00. | |
:01:00. | :01:01. | ||
years of floral spectaculars. This is one of the show gardens, | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
partly designed by Prince Harry. He will be showing it to the Queen | :01:05. | :01:15. | |

Tensions within the Conservative Party will be reignited today when | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
the Bill to allow same-sex marriages in England and Wales is debated by | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
MPs today. Some Tory activists have urged the Prime Minister to drop the | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
policy, saying it is costing votes. One former Conservative Minister | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
will try to push through an amendment to the Bill to give | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
everyone a right to a civil partnership. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
David Cameron says he wants marriage to be available to everyone, | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
straight or gay. But his support for same-sex marriage has alienated some | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
Conservative members who say the move is costing the party votes. | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
This small group of Tory activists delivered a highly-critical letter | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
through the Prime Minister's door yesterday. There is no mandate for | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
it. It wasn't in any manifesto of any party. The opinion within the | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
Conservative Party, and within the country, is against. Same-sex | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
marriage has the support of many Tory MPs and activists. More than | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
100 have signed an open letter to Mr Cameron saying it is an important | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
issue for younger voters and MPs risk appearing out of touch if they | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
pander to a vocal minority. world has moved on. The country has | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
moved on. Attitudes are changing. Here is a Bill which does allow gay | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
people to marry, but it doesn't make it compulsory and it protects the | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
churches. The Church of England is exempted. Today, Conservative MPs | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
opposed to the Bill will try to pass an amendment extending civil | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
partnerships to heterosexual couples. Government sources say that | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
would delay the Bill by years and would be expensive for the taxpayer. | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
Several amendments have been tabled. That one proposing to extend civil | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
partnerships to heterosexual couples is the one the Government is most | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
worried about. Let's have a look at the numbers involved. In February, | :03:28. | :03:37. | |
the Marriage Bill was approved by a 225 vote majority. 136 Conservatives | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
voted against it. 127 Tories voted in favour of the Bill. This time, | :03:44. | :03:54. | |
:03:54. | :03:57. | ||
Labour could be set to join the dissenters. Let's talk to Louise | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
Stewart, who is in Westminster. How do you see today panning out? How do | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
you see the numbers stacking up? Well, we don't know on the numbers | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
yet. When this Bill comes before the Commons this afternoon, it is going | :04:13. | :04:23. | |
:04:23. | :04:23. | ||
to be very contRo -- controversial. David Cameron is championing it. He | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
believes extending rights to same-sex couples will strengthen the | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
institution of marriage. As you pointed out, this amendment from the | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
former Children's Minister is the big worry for them. If they extended | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
the rights to heterosexual couples, too, many see it as a wrecking | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
tactic to try and get this Bill thrown out kicked into the long | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
grass. A few minutes ago, I was told that the Government will proceed | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
with this Bill. Whether his amendment gets support or not. They | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
hope to be able to push it through. So the vote is not until 10.00pm | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
tonight. They are determined to try and get this Bill on the statute | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
books. Coming alongside the whole issue of Europe, this is another | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
headache for David Cameron, in terms of the perception that is he or is | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
he not in control of his own party? Absolutely. It is a very divisive | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
issue. Last week, the aRg mentes were over Europe, whether there | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
should be an in-out referendum -- the arguments were over Europe, | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
whether there should be an in-out referendum. It will be another | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
bloody nose for the Prime Minister if many of them choose not to back | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
him. Thank you. The Church of Scotland could end | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
centuries of traditional teaching about sexuality today and accept | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
actively gay people as ministers. The Church's General Assembly is | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
debating a plan to allow people in civil partnerships to be ordained as | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
ministers. Until now, the Church has insisted that sexual relationships | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
should only take place between men and women who are married. | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
A woman and a man are known to have died in an explosion in a terraced | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
house in Nottinghamshire yesterday. Four others were takeen to hospital | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
following the suspected gas explosion at the property in Newark. | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
-- takeen -- taken. What are you hearing about the possible cause, | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
Jo? Well, the police won't go into the possible cause at the moment. | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
They say it is still being investigated. Yesterday, yes, it was | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
being reported that it was a gas explosion. This is where we are | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
allowed to stand. This is the police cordon here. I can't show you the | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
property because we have been told to stay right away from the property | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
because it is so structurally unsound. If I get the camera to | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
point down there, you can see a fire engine and a police van. It is to | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
the left of those that is the property we are focussing on. I | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
can't show you because the property no longer exists. It's been reduced | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
to rubble. The fire officers who have spoken to us today said that | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
when they got here, they were met with a dynamic and very dangerous | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
situation. They have paid tribute to the local people who live here who | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
went quickly to the rescue of the people involved in this tragedy. | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
They say their help was really good. They are absolutely delighted with | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
how they helped out. Sadly, despite the efforts of the local people who | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
live here, two people have lost their lives, a man's body was | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
discovered in the early hours and this morning came the sad news that | :07:47. | :07:55. | |
a woman's body had been discovered. The explosion left a hole in a row | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
of terraced houses where a home once stood. Neighbours said it sounded | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
like a bomb had gone off. After the explosion yesterday, the emergency | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
services found a man's body overnight. This morning, police said | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
ongoing searches had located the body of a woman in the rubble. He is | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
due to be recovered later today by a specialist search and rescue team. | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
The situation on arrival, the emergency services were met with a | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
very dynamic situation. Not only did we have the obvious signs of an | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
explosion on the street, there was a serious developed fire on our | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
arrival. The crews were met with numerous casualties and there were | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
two casualties trapped inside the building. In the immediate | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
aftermath, neighbours helped rescue some of the injured. A man with | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
serious injuries remains in hospital, a woman and two children | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
were released after treatment. and this other bloke ran over, | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
smashed the window open with a couple of bricks. Then I'm being | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
handed this baby and then a five-year-old boy and then the | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
mother came out. Never seen flames like it. And also, the house rafters | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
was about eight foot when they should have been 40 foot. It had all | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
come down. Overnight, 100 people living nearby were asked to leave | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
their homes as a precaution. A police spokesman said a controlled | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
demolition would have to be carried out at the site later to make the | :09:20. | :09:28. | |
area safe. As you heard, local people talking | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
about what they saw last night, lots of people in their houses heard a | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
massive bang, came out and found that a house had been reduced to | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
rubble. Lots of them have been displaced. The people who went to | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
help with the rescue have been displaced. Some went to a leisure | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
centre. People have been turning up today trying to get back into their | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
houses. We are not sure how long the road will be closed and the | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
investigation now goes on. Thank you. | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
A British man who is reported to have confessed to killing his two | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
young children is expected to appear before a French Presidentor to be | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
formally charged today. The bodies of a ten-year-old boy and a | :10:13. | :10:21. | |
five-year-old girl were found on the balcony in Lyon on Saturday -- | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
prosecutor. Christian Fraser, an horrific case? Yes, truly horrific. | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
The man has been named by the British Embassy as Julian Stevenson. | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
He is a British man who has lived in France for a number of years. He is | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
married to a French woman. They had a bitter divorce in 2010. Since | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
then, he had limited access to the two children, Matthew, 10, and | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
Carla, 5. We understand that on Saturday she had gone to collect the | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
two children from the apartment block where they owned an apartment. | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
She found him in the stairwell of the block looking shakeen. He was | :10:59. | :11:09. | |
:11:09. | :11:10. | ||
covered in blood. He fled the scene on roller skates -- shaken. When | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
they burst into the apartment block, they found them dead on the balcony, | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
their throats had been cut. We understand from the prosecutor, that | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
there will be a special hearing this afternoon and we understand that | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
he's been charged with second-degree murder. What will be the process | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
after that? Presumably this is a case that could take quite a while | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
in the courts? Yes, you would imagine so. Obviously, there will be | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
psychiatric reports. They will continue their interviews. The | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
prosecutor has said today that that charge may change. It may be | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
premeditated murder once they understand the background to the | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
murders. The question is why were the children on their own with a | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
father who had shown himself to be violent in the past? According to | :11:58. | :12:05. | |
neighbours, he was a drunker. Was it that the mother had agreed for him | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
to have this unfettered access? Or did the French authorities clear the | :12:08. | :12:18. | |
way? Thank you very much. Let's take a look at some of the | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
other stories now. Police in Tunisia have used tear gas to disperse | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
stone-throwing demonstrators. They came from a hardline Islamist | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
movement in Tunis. One protester died. Supporters were prevented from | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
holding their annual conference. In the United States, one person has | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
died and several others have been injured by a tornado in Oklahoma. A | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
mobile Home Park was destroyed. Tornadoes have been reported in | :12:44. | :12:52. | |
Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas and Texas. A fierce battle is continuing over a | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
rebel stronghold in Syria with reports that militants from Lebanon | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
are involved. Syrian government forces backed by Hezbollah militants | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
have launched a big offensive against rebel forces in Qusair. | :13:08. | :13:15. | |
An air strike on a rebel stronghold. This footage released on social | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
media appears to show Syrian government forces fighting to take | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
back control of the town of Qusair. On the ground, Hezbollah militants | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
from Lebanon are said to be helping President Assad, a sign that this | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
conflict may now be spilling over the border. Now, the aid agency | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
Oxfam has warned the hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees who | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
have poured into this camp are facing an urgent health risk as | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
temperatures rise in the region. The refugees keep coming. The United | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
Nations says the number could reach three million by the end of the | :13:50. | :13:58. | |
year. So far, there's been over 1.5 million Syrians who have now | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
contacted UNHCR for support and protection in the countries | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
surrounding Syria. We are seeing that number increase by 10,000 plus | :14:07. | :14:14. | |
per day. We see no let-up in sight. President Assad has made clear there | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
will be no let-up in his hold on power. In an interview he said he | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
has no intention of stepping down. TRANSLATION: The country is | :14:25. | :14:29. | |

about peace talks planned by the United States and Russia next month, | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
world powers hope to put a stop to the storm that is raging here. | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
President Assad has poured scorn on negotiations making the prospect of | :14:46. | :14:56. | |

legislation on same-sex marriage during a commons debate later. | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
A man and a woman are now known to have died in an explosion at a house | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
in Nottinghamshire. Investigations are under way into the suspected gas | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
blast in Newark yesterday. A British man living in France is | :15:17. | :15:27. | |

Now a full sports roundup at the BBC sports centre. | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
Will Perry is there. They are celebrating in north London? Yes, | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
some part. Arsene Wenger says that finishing in the fourth Champions | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
League spot in the Premier League is vital for his club's ability to | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
attract top players next season. Their win at Newcastle meant that | :15:56. | :16:06. | |
:16:06. | :16:09. | ||
they edged out Tottenham, they will There is unity in the club. | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
That makes football less difficult, but it demands a great commitment | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
from everyone. That is why I would like to thank my staff. They have | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
worked very hard. Tottenham is a wonderful club. They | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
will continue to attract big players like we did this summer. We will | :16:28. | :16:35. | |
continue to push on. We have been, we have had a good season. We pushed | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
two clubs that are used to titles to the fourth and first spot all of the | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
way. I think that we can make it better next season. | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
Or Hearts could be relegate from the Scottish Premier League, despite | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
finishing 14 points at bottom of the table with Dundee. The club is to be | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
discussed over the financial sanctions with the parent company. | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
Hearts drew with Aberdeen. They could lose a third of points, | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
finishing bottom and starting next year in the First Division. Messoni | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
is preparing a second offer for the club. It was previously rejected in | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
November. Stuart Broad took seven wickets as Englanders cricketers | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
took the first Test of the season. The tourists bowled out in 68 | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
seconds. Stuart Broad and James Anderson | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
ripped through the visitors' batting order. Stuart Broad's best hall in | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
Test cricket. The second Test starts on Friday. | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
That is all of the sport for now. A full update on the BBC News Channel | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
at 11. Am. At least 26 people have been killed | :17:52. | :18:00. | |
and more than 100 injured in a series of car attack attacks in | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
central and southern Iraq. Two car bombs exploded and several bombs | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
went off in marketplaces in mainly sheath areas in Baghdad. I am joined | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
live there now with our reporter. There were reports of nine car bombs | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
going off in Baghdad. Lots of explosions and a high number of | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
casualties. Bring us up-to-date with the latest? An horrific morning here | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
in Baghdad. We heard the first explosion at # 9.00am, they kept on | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
coming in different areas of the city. All but one explosion was a | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
car bomb. The other was a planted device. Four of them had been | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
targeting marketplaces. Most of the dead are thought to be civilians and | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
most of them Shia civilians at that. As you say, there were also two | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
bombs in Basra, one targeting a restaurant, the other targeting a | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
bus station. The bad news did not stop there. Then we heard that ten | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
people that were kidnapped a couple of days ago, their bodies have been | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
recovered and an attack in the north where several policemen were shot | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
dead at a checkpoint. So a hor tick day. Indeed a bad couple of months. | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
April was the worst month in terms of violence in Iraq for nearly five | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
years. As you say, these were mainly Shia | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
targets but Sunni targets have been hit in the recent violence that you | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
describe. What is behind this recent spike in the violence? Well, a | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
couple of things going on, Joanna. In the regional terms there is this | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
rift between the Shia and the Sunni, the faultline that we see in Syria. | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
That is having an impact in the countries around Syria, including | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
here, where we believe, we know that fighters are going to support both | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
sides, the Shia and Sunni, they are seeing it as something of a holy | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
war, but there are problems in Iraq. Shia and Sunni politicians are not | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
working well together. We saw the Foreign Minister, he said that he | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
blamed the outside world, saying that they forgot about Iraq too | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
quickly that it is the outside world needed to meet Yate between the two, | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
but when we have spoken to both sides all of this week, they have | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
seen all of the violence, the violence is continuing and saying | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
where is the urgency from their own politicians to come up with a new | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
plan and from the outside world to intervene here? Right now things are | :20:35. | :20:45. | |
:20:45. | :20:46. | ||
starting to look critical in Iraq. Today the Ark Royal begins her final | :20:46. | :20:53. | |
voyage. The former Royal Navy flagship is to leave her Homebase of | :20:53. | :21:00. | |
Portsmouth to head to a scrapyard in Turkey. She saw active service in | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
the Balkans conflict and was involved in the invasion of Iraq. | :21:04. | :21:11. | |
The decision to scrap her was three years ago. Let's go to Caroline in | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
Portsmouth. Caroline a very sad day, really, for a really wonderful ship? | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
That is right. There will be a lot of emotion has she sails out of | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
Portsmouth harbour for the very last time. She was commissioned and came | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
into service in 1985 at the time, the most expensive warship built, at | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
a cost of �220 million. With 990 crew that served on her, a lot of | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
people to serve on her in the 25-plus years she has been in | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
service. Some of them will be here in Portsmouth to bid her a fine | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
farewell. The Royal Navy's former flagship was | :21:51. | :21:58. | |
launched on the River Tyne by the late chp Queen Moth ner 19816789 | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
May God protect her and all who sail in her. | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
From 1985, when HMS Ark Royal entered the service, she played a | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
key role in the ball cans: conflict along with harrier jets. | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
She also served during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, before being | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
decommissioned early in 2011. When you see an old ship of yours | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
being towed account to go to the scrapyard, naturally you feel rather | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
sad about that but actually, the reflections will be on all of the | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
people that served with you. In my case, the people that served under | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
me. Tremendous people. They are the ones that leave me with a | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
heart-warming feeling. After a final voyage, that saw the | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
last harrier fly from the ship, HMS Ark Royal was the highest | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
professional casualty of the Government's defence review of 2010. | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
Taking her out of service and selling Britain's Harriers was a | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
move criticised at the time it leaves the UK unable to launch | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
aircraft from the seas, until the new carriers and Joint Strike | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
Fighter come into service in under a decade. | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
Well, I am joined here in Portsmouth by someone who did serve on HMS Ark | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
Royal, leading photographer, Richard Thompson. | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
You served on her, so what are your memories, why are you here today? | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
am here as she was such a great ship. There will be many here that | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
loved her, but on the whole I have lots of happy memories. To me, I met | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
my second wife on there. I have two lovely children. So she is a big | :23:39. | :23:47. | |
part of my life. A key point. My two children were Kristened on there. | :23:47. | :23:54. | |
She was one of the better ship I had. It will be sad to see her go, | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
sad to see her towed off. So you will be watching here as she goes on | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
her final voyage? Yes, I will. I know many others who are coming down | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
for the occasion. It is five days too early as on | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
Saturday there is a reunion of the HMS Ark Royal's ship company, so it | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
would have been great if she could have gone on Friday, for us, but for | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
us, she is held in such great affection by a lot of the crew. | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
Generally a happy ship it is strange that some ships carried that Mantell | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
all the way through. I know that the prooefrs Ark Royal before was a | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
happy ship that carried on to Ark Royal 5, for probably all of her 25 | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
years. Richard, thank you very much for joining us. We will be with you | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
as she goes past. Back to you in the studio. | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
Thank you very much. The Duke of Cambridge and Prince | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
Prince Harry are visiting Wiltshire to open a recoverister for British | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
troops it is one of four units run by Help for Heroes. It will offer | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
res pilot care and rehabilitation for former soldiers and and their | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
families. We can see there is Prince William | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
and Prince Harry. Daniella, tell us what they are up to there today? | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
is an unusual Royal partnership to see the two brothers together. We | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
don't often see them just the two of them. Generally, there is the | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
Duchess of Cambridge with them, but today, clearly with the birth of her | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
first baby pending in July, the brothers have come to support the | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
charity close to their hearts. They are here to open Tedworth House. It | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
is set up by the Help for Heroes charity. One of four around the | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
country. The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry are meeting local | :25:45. | :25:54. | |
dignitaries and members of the military. There has been much | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
support here for the military families, for those injured and the | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
families when they return it is something that is very well | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
supported by the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry. Here they will go | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
inside, they will meet some wounded personnel and families. They will | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
see some of the facilities here, including the Feenic Centre. It is | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
an incredible advanced sporting facility. It has a area to help | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
build the core strength for the severely injured. There will be a | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
barbecue for all of those here today. A chance for them to meet | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
those affected in Afghanistan. There is a programme that has been | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
introduced today, where the foreword has been written by the prince of | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
Cambridge and Prince Harry. They talk about how the injured are | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
valued. That is why they want to support this charity. They talk | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
personally about how they have bust lost friends themselves, visited | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
many others in hospital and heard the sad stories of families that | :26:59. | :27:06. | |
have been affected by their lost ones and those suffering. | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
It is also about supporting the wider families, the wider careers | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
that will help them get through what is clearly a difficult time. The | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
Princes are going into the centre now. They will hear some of the | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
stories and meet some of the families that are using them, and | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
getting so much help from the facilities provided here. | :27:29. | :27:36. | |
Thank you very much, Daniella. We will have more from Tedworth | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
House a little later on here on BBC News. The headlines are coming up | :27:39. | :27:44. | |
for you on the BBC News Channel. In a moment we are saying goodbye to | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
the viewers on BBC Two. First, let's take a look at the weather. We can | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
cross the newsroom. There is Nick Miller waiting for us. Nick, any | :27:53. | :28:02. | |
Miller waiting for us. Nick, any taking a time for the sunshine to | :28:02. | :28:07. | |
come through. Where it does, the temperatures could head to the low | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
20s, but the Met Office has an amber warning in force. So be prepared for | :28:11. | :28:16. | |
disruption, where we don't only just have sunshine but then building | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
cloud and thunder storms that is across eastern and south-eastern | :28:20. | :28:25. | |
parts of Scotland, Dundee, Edinburgh, into the borders, | :28:25. | :28:30. | |
slow-moving storms, and lol flooding that is possible. Large hail. Also | :28:30. | :28:35. | |
storms building in parts of northern England, the Pennines and showery | :28:35. | :28:39. | |
bursts of rain running across south-east England in the course of | :28:39. | :28:46. | |
the evening, but I want to emphasise the intense storms affected -- | :28:46. | :28:51. | |
afeting Scotland. Then fading away. We are left with cloud and drizzle. | :28:51. | :28:55. | |
It will not abcold night. Tomorrow a similar day. | :28:55. | :28:59. | |
Brightening up then a few showers breaking out. The main story through | :28:59. | :29:03. | |
the week, the temperatures coming down and a strengthening northerly | :29:03. | :29:13. | |

World News, our top stories: Bomb attacks in two of Iraq's biggest | :30:13. | :30:17. | |
cities, around 30 people died, many more have been injured. Fierce | :30:17. | :30:22. | |
fighting engulfs the Syrian town of Qusair, with claims that Hezbollah | :30:22. | :30:26. | |
militants are fighting now on the Government side. | :30:26. | :30:30. | |
Rwanda's president reveals to the BBC that he believes UN peacekeepers | :30:30. | :30:33. | |
make the situation worse in neighbouring Democratic Republic of | :30:33. | :30:38. | |
Congo. And sailing towards the shipyard, | :30:38. | :30:42. | |
the scrapyard, the former flagship of the British Navy leaving the port | :30:42. | :30:52. | |
:30:52. | :31:06. | ||
26 people have been killed and many more injured in a series of car | :31:06. | :31:10. | |
bombings in two major cities. In the port of Basra in the south, there | :31:10. | :31:14. | |
were two explosions at a restaurant and a bus station, both in Shia | :31:14. | :31:19. | |
Muslim areas of the city. In the capital, Baghdad, police a eight | :31:19. | :31:24. | |
bombs went off, again in mainly Shia areas. The attacks are the latest in | :31:24. | :31:27. | |
a surge of violence linked to sectarian tension between Shia and | :31:27. | :31:33. | |
Sunni Muslims. On Friday, at least 60 people died in three bombings in | :31:33. | :31:38. | |
Sunni areas in and around Baghdad. Those bombings, in turn, followed | :31:38. | :31:42. | |
deadly attacks on Shia targets across the country. I was joined | :31:42. | :31:45. | |
from the BBC Arabic service, and I asked whether the bombs in Shi'ite | :31:45. | :31:52. | |
areas of Basra are a new departure. Well, yes, the southern city of | :31:52. | :31:56. | |
Basra was relatively calm for the past couple of months, unlike many | :31:56. | :32:00. | |
other Shia, mainly Shia plants in Iraq. As you said, this is a | :32:00. | :32:04. | |
departure, and a worrying sign indeed, because they are now | :32:04. | :32:09. | |
targeting restaurants. Today they targeted a restaurant in Basra, | :32:09. | :32:16. | |
killing and injuring many people. So the kind of targets is really | :32:16. | :32:21. | |
worrying, which are restaurants, civilian populated areas, and also | :32:21. | :32:27. | |
places of worship, like mosques. have seen, and these are pictures | :32:27. | :32:31. | |
from Basra, but in Baghdad there are similar dreadful scenes in several | :32:31. | :32:36. | |
areas of the city, Shi'ite areas. Well, there have been many more such | :32:36. | :32:42. | |
attacks over the past months in the capital, Baghdad, so this is nothing | :32:42. | :32:47. | |
new. I mean, Iraqis have been living near daily violence, not just over | :32:47. | :32:53. | |
the past couple of months but since 2003, the US led invasion of Iraq, | :32:53. | :33:00. | |
but the worrying sign, again, Nick, I mean such attacks have turned into | :33:00. | :33:03. | |
taking the shape of tit for tat, especially over the last two months. | :33:03. | :33:10. | |
In the past couple of months, since the start of 2013, militants were to | :33:10. | :33:17. | |
blame for targeting Shia areas, but now they are targeting Sunni areas | :33:17. | :33:27. | |
:33:27. | :33:28. | ||
and mosques, life on Friday, a Shia... Two devices exploded outside | :33:28. | :33:32. | |
a Shi'ite mosque, a Sunni mosque in the capital, Baghdad, killing many | :33:32. | :33:37. | |
Sunnis. There is, therefore, a dreadful suggestion that this is | :33:37. | :33:41. | |
going to be returned to the spiral of violence we have seen so often in | :33:41. | :33:45. | |
the past. What is the political analysis of why this is happening, | :33:45. | :33:48. | |
and whether it is making any difference to what is essentially a | :33:48. | :33:53. | |
very difficult problem of politics in Iraq at the moment? Well, the | :33:53. | :33:58. | |
political analysis, I mean, over the past five months, a Sunni minority | :33:58. | :34:03. | |
have been protesting in sunny areas against the Shia-led government of | :34:03. | :34:10. | |
Nouri, the. -- Nouri Al-Maliki. The political crisis has reached a | :34:10. | :34:14. | |
stand-off, despite the fact that the government has provided or has made | :34:14. | :34:20. | |
some concessions, like freeing prisoners, increasing salaries, but | :34:20. | :34:24. | |
the underlying issues of bitterness and discrimination which the Sunnis | :34:24. | :34:28. | |
are complaining seems not to been addressed yet, and another fact, I | :34:28. | :34:34. | |
mean it is a regional fact, to be honest, is the Syrian uprising, or | :34:34. | :34:42. | |
the Syrian conflict. I mean, the Sunni minority seem to be emboldened | :34:42. | :34:47. | |
by the uprising in Syria next door, and they are building up their | :34:47. | :34:54. | |
protests day in and day out against the Shia government. | :34:54. | :34:58. | |
Afghanistan, the Taliban are claiming responsibility for suicide | :34:58. | :35:00. | |
attacks in northern Afghanistan. A prominent local politician is among | :35:00. | :35:06. | |
the dead, and police said a man wearing a military uniform detonated | :35:06. | :35:10. | |
a bomb vest as he entered the municipal council headquarters. At | :35:10. | :35:14. | |
least ten people died, one was the head of the provincial council known | :35:14. | :35:17. | |
to take a tough stance against the Taliban. | :35:17. | :35:19. | |
Dozens of fighters are reported to have been killed in a fierce battle | :35:20. | :35:24. | |
over a rebel stronghold in Syria. State media says government forces | :35:24. | :35:27. | |
have recaptured most of Qusair, which is close to the Lebanon | :35:27. | :35:32. | |
border. The rebels deny that, saying they destroyed four Syrian army | :35:32. | :35:36. | |
tanks. There are reports Hezbollah militants from Lebanon are now | :35:36. | :35:40. | |
involved, with Hezbollah supporting government troops, and some are said | :35:40. | :35:43. | |
to have been killed. Here is Richard Forrest. | :35:43. | :35:50. | |
An airstrike on a rebel stronghold. This footage released on social | :35:50. | :35:53. | |
media appears to show Syrian government forces fighting to take | :35:53. | :35:58. | |
back control of the town of Qusair. On the ground, Hezbollah militants | :35:58. | :36:02. | |
from Lebanon are said to be helping President Assad, a sign that the | :36:02. | :36:10. | |
conflict may be spilling over the border. Now the aid agency Oxfam has | :36:10. | :36:13. | |
warned that the hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees who | :36:13. | :36:18. | |
poured into camps like this one in Jordan are facing an urgent health | :36:18. | :36:22. | |
risk as temperatures rise in the region. The refugees keep coming. | :36:22. | :36:26. | |
The United Nations says the number could reach 3 million by the end of | :36:26. | :36:34. | |
the year. So far, there has been over 1.5 million Syrians who have | :36:34. | :36:37. | |
now contacted UNHCR for support protection in the countries | :36:37. | :36:43. | |
surrounding Syria. We are seeing that number increased by 10,000 plus | :36:43. | :36:49. | |
per day, and we see no let up inside. President Assad has made | :36:49. | :36:53. | |
clear there will be no letup in his hold on power. In an interview with | :36:53. | :36:59. | |
an Argentine newspaper, he said he has no intention of stepping down. | :36:59. | :37:03. | |
The country is suffering from a crisis right now, he says, and the | :37:03. | :37:07. | |
captain does not flee his ship during a storm. With more | :37:07. | :37:11. | |
information due to emerge this week about peace talks planned by the | :37:11. | :37:15. | |
United States and Russia next month, world powers had hoped to put a stop | :37:15. | :37:21. | |
to the storm that is raging here. President Assad has poured scorn on | :37:21. | :37:26. | |
negotiations, making the prospect of a peace deal a remote one. | :37:26. | :37:30. | |
Well, I asked Jim Muir in Beirut about the significance of Hezbollah | :37:30. | :37:34. | |
forces from Lebanon now apparently supporting Syrian government troops | :37:34. | :37:40. | |
inside Syria. Well, certainly we know that Hezbollah fighters have | :37:40. | :37:43. | |
been active in the Qusair area. There are a number of Shi'ite | :37:43. | :37:49. | |
villages which are originally populated by letter nice -- Lebanese | :37:49. | :37:55. | |
Shi'ites. Whether they are actually involved alongside Syrian army | :37:55. | :37:59. | |
forces, breaking into Qusair, we cannot document, but it would not be | :37:59. | :38:02. | |
surprising because they are increasingly involved and committed | :38:02. | :38:09. | |
on the side of the government. Converse league, there are, in fact, | :38:09. | :38:13. | |
hundreds of sunny Lebanese fighters, militants from Tripoli who are | :38:13. | :38:17. | |
believed to be fighting alongside the rebels in Qusair. So you could | :38:17. | :38:21. | |
say that the Lebanese divisions have been transplanted onto Syrian soil, | :38:21. | :38:25. | |
but there is a sort of basic understanding among the Lebanese | :38:25. | :38:28. | |
that they will not carry that my back into Lebanon, although it has | :38:28. | :38:36. | |
spilled over import in areas -- over in border areas and Tripoli itself, | :38:36. | :38:40. | |
but it has not had a major effect in terms of provoking large-scale | :38:40. | :38:47. | |
violence in Lebanon. But what about the fact that it appears that Syrian | :38:47. | :38:49. | |
troops need Lebanese Hezbollah to support them and give them extra | :38:49. | :38:56. | |
firepower. I do not think it is a question of firepower, the army has | :38:56. | :39:03. | |
got massive firepower at its disposal. It is more about skill in | :39:03. | :39:07. | |
Street fire -- streetfighting, which Hezbollah has got a lot of, the kind | :39:07. | :39:12. | |
of skills they need to winkle out a determined opposition. I do not | :39:12. | :39:15. | |
suppose that Hezbollah is absolutely instrumental. Obviously, the | :39:15. | :39:18. | |
opposition are playing up that line, but the extent to which they are | :39:18. | :39:23. | |
taking part we simply do not know, but they are involved in that area. | :39:23. | :39:26. | |
Exactly how much they are taking part in this current battle on the | :39:26. | :39:31. | |
ground into is itself, we cannot really document. But, Jim, when you | :39:31. | :39:34. | |
look at this happening at the moment, how can we project is | :39:34. | :39:38. | |
forward, given that the Syrian troops and the Syrian government may | :39:38. | :39:42. | |
want to seize back other areas which are currently more under Syrian | :39:42. | :39:49. | |
rebel control? Well, this is certainly just part of the broader | :39:49. | :39:52. | |
picture, which is that the government is already hitting back | :39:52. | :39:56. | |
very strongly in many areas. At the moment, the overall impression is | :39:56. | :40:00. | |
that things have tilted the government's way. That may be | :40:00. | :40:03. | |
temporary, because the rebels are complaining that Qatar have cut off | :40:03. | :40:06. | |
arms supplies that were coming through Jordan, possibly Turkey as | :40:06. | :40:11. | |
well, and Saudis and others likewise may be cutting back, and the | :40:11. | :40:15. | |
impression is that the Americans are turning off the arms tap, possibly | :40:15. | :40:18. | |
in advance of this big conference that is supposed to be happening, | :40:18. | :40:23. | |
probably early in June. But, of course, therefore, if that | :40:23. | :40:27. | |
conference fails and the Americans decide this is the moment to open | :40:27. | :40:29. | |
the floodgates, that picture could change, but at the moment the | :40:29. | :40:33. | |
government has been pushing back the rebels around Damascus itself, where | :40:33. | :40:38. | |
the situation is eased quite a lot. In Homs, they have been making | :40:38. | :40:42. | |
progress. In Aleppo, there is very much disputed territory of there, | :40:42. | :40:45. | |
but there are various areas in the south where the government has been | :40:45. | :40:49. | |
much more assertive and has been making gains against the rebels. | :40:49. | :40:56. | |
Muir in Beirut. Rwanda's president, Paul Kagame, has | :40:56. | :40:59. | |
given a scathing assessment of the UN peacekeeping force in the | :40:59. | :41:03. | |
Democratic Republic of Congo. It has made the situation even worse, that | :41:03. | :41:07. | |
is what he told the BBC. The Rwandan government has itself been accused | :41:07. | :41:12. | |
by the UN of supporting rebels in Congo. Mr Kagame told the BBC that | :41:12. | :41:16. | |
the peacekeepers had done nothing to address the root of the problems. | :41:16. | :41:22. | |
Well, in some cases, it has become worse, because if you see what we | :41:22. | :41:30. | |
had last year, a resurgence of the fighting and tales and displacement | :41:30. | :41:35. | |
of people and so on and so forth. -- fighting and chaos. This came in the | :41:35. | :41:43. | |
forces had been there for nearly a decade, up to a decade. So it is not | :41:43. | :41:50. | |
just making it worse, not making it better, but this time, with what we | :41:50. | :41:56. | |
witnessed last year, the situation is worse. Scathing remarks, but with | :41:56. | :42:04. | |
the African Union showing support for intervention in Congo, does he | :42:04. | :42:09. | |
think they can do better? I think they are trying to say, well, let's | :42:09. | :42:14. | |
structure this differently, maybe we can get different results, but still | :42:14. | :42:20. | |
there are things that do not really add up. If you look at the problems | :42:20. | :42:29. | |
relating to the Congo, they are mainly political. They are not | :42:29. | :42:37. | |
military, or we will not find a solution that is military. We need | :42:37. | :42:41. | |
to back other efforts. But those other efforts seem to be even more | :42:41. | :42:49. | |
important, so the intervention, so to speak, they have encouraged it to | :42:49. | :42:53. | |
happen and supported, and it needs to be co-ordinated properly with | :42:53. | :42:58. | |
political efforts and political solutions, so that this is backing | :42:58. | :43:02. | |
the political solution, rather than just being a solution instead. | :43:02. | :43:12. | |

Paul Pagani of Rwanda speaking with extremist group Boko Haram had been | :43:18. | :43:22. | |
killed and many others were fleeing for the Borders. There has been no | :43:22. | :43:27. | |
independent confirmation of the military account. The BBC's Will | :43:27. | :43:32. | |
Ross is in Abuja. This whole military operation is really taking | :43:32. | :43:35. | |
place in two different environments. On the one hand, there is the remote | :43:35. | :43:40. | |
rural areas of north-east Nigeria, and then the towns which are known | :43:40. | :43:44. | |
to have a significant presence of Boko Haram supporters. Now, the | :43:44. | :43:48. | |
military is telling us that the camps in the rural areas have been | :43:48. | :43:53. | |
hit and the militants have been sent into disarray. We cannot verify any | :43:53. | :43:56. | |
of that information because there has been no evidence to back up what | :43:56. | :44:01. | |
the military is saying so far. The army is telling us that many of the | :44:01. | :44:05. | |
militants are fleeing towards the country's borders. Those borders | :44:05. | :44:09. | |
with Cameroon, Chad Anthony Gerrard notoriously porous, so it is quite | :44:09. | :44:15. | |
easy for them to flee and get away. -- Chad and Niger. We are also told | :44:15. | :44:18. | |
that the Islamist militants have scores of vehicles that they are | :44:18. | :44:21. | |
trying to move, some of them with heavenly weaponry mounted on the | :44:21. | :44:26. | |
backs of them. So that is a sign that the Boko Haram fighters are | :44:26. | :44:29. | |
better resourced than many people had thought. Now, in the urban | :44:30. | :44:33. | |
areas, it is very difficult to get any information, because the turkey | :44:34. | :44:39. | |
was in place, 24 hours in some places, also all mobile phone | :44:39. | :44:43. | |
communication has been cut off, so no information is coming up that | :44:43. | :44:46. | |
way, but there are concerns that the civilians who will be Ben Reade | :44:46. | :44:50. | |
vulnerable to abuse us by the army as the soldiers tried to root out | :44:50. | :44:55. | |
Boko Haram fighters were living amongst the civilian population. | :44:55. | :45:00. | |

multimillionaire is yet to claim his The Chelsea Flower Show has been | :45:21. | :45:26. | |
described as the most prestigious event of its kind in the world. The | :45:26. | :45:32. | |
show in Central London is celebrating its 100th anniversary. | :45:32. | :45:38. | |
It has involved Prince Harry. Jenny Hill has been looking at some of the | :45:38. | :45:40. | |
spectacular displays, past and present. | :45:40. | :45:46. | |
Once again the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea are transformed | :45:46. | :45:52. | |
into a dream garden... 100 years on it is still looking pretty good. | :45:52. | :45:56. | |
This is the Australian garden, one of the largest gardens in the show's | :45:57. | :46:03. | |
history it has been a history. From the 1913, the number of exhibitors | :46:03. | :46:07. | |
have increased. The show is attracting 150,000 visitors from all | :46:07. | :46:12. | |
over the world. It is no longer the largest flower | :46:12. | :46:17. | |
show in the UK, let alone the world but it is still the most | :46:17. | :46:21. | |
but it is still the most prestigious. | :46:21. | :46:28. | |
Under the canvass are blooms such as... Chelsea' central marquee was | :46:28. | :46:33. | |
one the largest in the world. Faces, and not to mention facial hair have | :46:33. | :46:37. | |
all changed. So has this growing business. | :46:37. | :46:44. | |
The garden has changed a lot in the last few years. It is now the hobby | :46:44. | :46:49. | |
of the common man, really, rather than just something that the gentry | :46:49. | :46:53. | |
could play about with in their big country houses. | :46:53. | :47:00. | |
But in a quiet corner of this cent evenary-inspired garden, it is as if | :47:00. | :47:04. | |
time simply stopped. There is a lot to say in terms of | :47:04. | :47:08. | |
roses. They were very popular in the early part of the last century, they | :47:08. | :47:14. | |
are still now. We have lovely blooms here. We have to put them under | :47:14. | :47:20. | |
heat... Jack is 19, the youngest designer here. As the climate has | :47:20. | :47:24. | |
changed, he told us, so will Chelsea. # It will provide a | :47:24. | :47:29. | |
challenge for the gardens. Drought is another thing to look at and | :47:29. | :47:34. | |
water-logging. It is more extreme. It is a far cry from the Gent illity | :47:34. | :47:39. | |
of the early days but this great British institution, remains not | :47:39. | :47:49. | |

You are with BBC World News with me, Nick Gowing. The latest: Multiple | :47:56. | :48:01. | |
car bombs in Iraq kill 30 people in two main cities. Scores have been | :48:01. | :48:06. | |
wounded. Syria sayses that government forces have recap fewered | :48:07. | :48:13. | |
-- recaptured most of the area of Qusair. There is support from | :48:13. | :48:17. | |
Lebanese Hezbollah militants. China and India have agreed on a | :48:17. | :48:24. | |
roadmap to reach a new dynamic balance on trade. The Chinese | :48:24. | :48:30. | |
premiere met the Indian prime, Manmohan Singh, on his first visit | :48:30. | :48:37. | |
since taking office in March. The visit comes after a flare-up of a | :48:37. | :48:40. | |
long-running border dispute between the countries. | :48:41. | :48:45. | |
Andrew North in Delhi said that the prime said that they do not deny | :48:46. | :48:50. | |
problems between the two sides, especially over the border issues. | :48:50. | :48:54. | |
Let's remember, the tensions between the two Asian giants, the world's | :48:54. | :49:00. | |
most two populous nations go back to 1962, when China launched a | :49:00. | :49:06. | |
devastating surprise attack across the Himalayan frontier, taking large | :49:06. | :49:10. | |
chunks of territory. Ever since they have been been unable to agree the | :49:10. | :49:15. | |
border line between them, despite many rounds of talks. In the current | :49:15. | :49:19. | |
context, although the trade has increased between the two in the | :49:19. | :49:23. | |
recent years, it has helped to bring them closer, right now with the | :49:23. | :49:28. | |
economic downturn in both countries, that is making it harder for any | :49:28. | :49:34. | |
kind of compromise that would be needed to solve the border problems. | :49:34. | :49:39. | |
Andrew, when the Chinese premiere says that they have to improve | :49:39. | :49:47. | |
border-related mechanisms when you have peoples on their territories, | :49:47. | :49:53. | |
these are not just passing issues? Not at all. That is right. | :49:53. | :50:00. | |
Of course, China claims a larger slice of Indian slice of Indian | :50:00. | :50:07. | |
territory in the north-east, while India wants China to return a six of | :50:07. | :50:10. | |
Ladak in the north-west. In the recent years there has been | :50:10. | :50:14. | |
something of an arms race between them. One theory that is doing the | :50:14. | :50:19. | |
rounds here, to explain the recent incursion is that China felt it had | :50:19. | :50:24. | |
to respond to a recent Indian military build-up along the border | :50:25. | :50:29. | |
areas especially near Ladak. So this is something that is going on all | :50:29. | :50:33. | |
the time. Often it does not get much attention it is difficult for anyone | :50:33. | :50:38. | |
to get up there but for all of these reasons, despite the talks of the | :50:38. | :50:42. | |
leaders in Delhi, I suspect that many think there could be more | :50:42. | :50:51. | |
tension, not less. Now, can you imagine who what it would be like to | :50:51. | :50:56. | |
win $490 million on the lottery? A handy addition to the cash in your | :50:56. | :51:00. | |
pocket or bank account, but it happened for one ticket holder in | :51:00. | :51:05. | |
Florida. It's a record-breaking jackpot | :51:05. | :51:12. | |
night. Millions of tickets sold across the country. Get ready... | :51:12. | :51:22. | |
with almost $600 million up for grabs, the demand ick ticks was -- | :51:22. | :51:25. | |
tickets was having everyone thinking that they were in with a chance. | :51:25. | :51:30. | |
These are the winning tickets. have the winning number here, so the | :51:30. | :51:35. | |
rest of these people should go home! The lucky ticket was picked up in | :51:35. | :51:39. | |
Florida, but the question is -- everyone is asking is who is the | :51:39. | :51:45. | |
mystery winner? They are anonymous to the lot which. Ry. We have no | :51:45. | :51:50. | |
idea if it is one person or a group of people. But what to do with all | :51:50. | :51:56. | |
of that cash? Powerball Lottery, let's do it! The hopefuls piling | :51:56. | :52:03. | |
into this shop, which bagged is own million-Dollar winner had its own | :52:03. | :52:07. | |
ideas. Ewould take care of my kids, and my | :52:07. | :52:10. | |
church. Noble but how about designer shoes | :52:10. | :52:16. | |
or a mansion or a holiday, perhaps? Then the luxury yacht I always | :52:16. | :52:23. | |
wanted and the private yet. An investigation by the BBC's | :52:23. | :52:28. | |
Panorama programme into the cover-up after the Hillsborough football | :52:28. | :52:32. | |
stadium disaster, that revealed the evidence that was originally | :52:32. | :52:37. | |
disregarded was in fact true. Viewers may find some of the images | :52:37. | :52:43. | |
in this report, distressing. I think that there maybe a flow in | :52:43. | :52:49. | |
the crowd at the Liverpool, lepings lane end of the crowd. | :52:49. | :52:53. | |
The footage showed how the police mismanaged the crowd from the start | :52:53. | :52:57. | |
at Hillsborough and how the rescue failed more comprehensively than has | :52:58. | :53:03. | |
been admitted. Individuals who spoke out were disbelieved or discredited. | :53:03. | :53:09. | |
People like Derek Bruder, an off duty police PC. Seen here giving the | :53:09. | :53:14. | |
kiss of life to kef kef, the 15-year-old son of Anne Williams, | :53:14. | :53:19. | |
the campaigner who died last month. He told me what he did for my son, | :53:19. | :53:23. | |
Kevin. If you are finding a pulse with the first two fingers. He | :53:23. | :53:30. | |
lifted his hand up with his right hand... If that means he was alive, | :53:30. | :53:34. | |
then he was alive. The photograph was not timed but | :53:34. | :53:39. | |
Kevin Williams was moved to this part of the pitch well after 3. | :53:39. | :53:44. | |
15pm. That is the cut-off point that the coroner decided that the dying | :53:44. | :53:50. | |
could not be saved, but fans believe Kevin lived longer than that. | :53:50. | :53:54. | |
You are looking at people, thinking, obviously my instinct was that this | :53:54. | :53:59. | |
lad needs help. Derek Bruder has always said as he | :53:59. | :54:04. | |
treated Kevin, he saw an ambulance arriving and driving by but the | :54:04. | :54:11. | |
inquest only heard of two ambulance going by on the pitch. Earlier that | :54:11. | :54:16. | |
than Derek Bruder' account. As a sult, his evidence was considered | :54:16. | :54:20. | |
unreliable, but there was a third ambulance that arrived. The | :54:20. | :54:27. | |
ambulance men on board said that the police knew this before Derek | :54:27. | :54:31. | |
Bruder's evidence. They had laid out photographs, they | :54:31. | :54:36. | |
had video evidence. It was them who said to me, I want to show a vehicle | :54:36. | :54:42. | |
coming on the pitch at 3.3 #578. They showed you that? They told you? | :54:42. | :54:46. | |
Absolutely. They had all of the information. | :54:46. | :54:50. | |
Panorama's analysis of the footage reveals this, the exact moment that | :54:50. | :54:55. | |
Derek Bruder goes to help Kevin it is after 3. 30pm, proving he has | :54:55. | :55:00. | |
been right all along. Derek Bruder told the programme he has complained | :55:00. | :55:02. | |
to the Independent Police Complaints Commission about how his evidence | :55:02. | :55:08. | |
was handled. The police say that they will co-operate but cannot | :55:08. | :55:11. | |
comment while the inquiries continue. The Yorkshire Ambulance | :55:11. | :55:17. | |
NHS Trust say it is will co-operate with any new legal inquiries. | :55:17. | :55:22. | |
Now the final trip of a proud flagship, it will end in a scrapyard | :55:23. | :55:27. | |
in Turkey. The British Royal Navy aircraft carrier, HMS Ark Royal is | :55:27. | :55:32. | |
leaving her home port for the last time. Here is our Defence | :55:32. | :55:36. | |
Correspondent, Caroline Wyatt. The Royal Navy's flagship was | :55:36. | :55:41. | |
launched on the River Tyne by the late Queen Mother in 1981. | :55:41. | :55:46. | |
May God protect her and all who sail in her. | :55:46. | :55:51. | |
From 1985 when HMS Ark Royal tennered service, she played a key | :55:51. | :55:58. | |
role in the Balkans conflict along with the herrer jets. Together, a | :55:58. | :56:02. | |
potent project ex-of military might. She served during the invasion in | :56:02. | :56:07. | |
Iraq in 2003, before being decommissioned early in 2011. | :56:07. | :56:12. | |
When you see an old ship of yours being towed out to go to the | :56:12. | :56:16. | |
scrapyard, naturally you feel rather sad about that but you, your | :56:16. | :56:20. | |
reflections are on all of the people that served with you. In my case, | :56:20. | :56:24. | |
the people that served under me. Tremendous people. They are the ones | :56:24. | :56:27. | |
that leave me with a heart-warming feeling. | :56:27. | :56:32. | |
After a final voyage that saw the last harrier fly from the ship, HMS | :56:32. | :56:35. | |
Ark Royal was the highest professional casualty of the | :56:35. | :56:39. | |
Government's defence review of 2010. Taking her out of service and | :56:39. | :56:42. | |
selling Britain's harriers was a move criticised at the time. It | :56:42. | :56:47. | |
leaves the UK unable to launch aircraft from the seas, until the | :56:47. | :56:51. | |
new carriers and the Joint Strike Fighter come into service in under a | :56:51. | :56:55. |
