Welcome to the BBC News at One. The family of Nicola Hughes, one of

the policewomen murdered yesterday in Greater Manchester, say she died

doing the job she loved. In a statement issued this morning, the

23-year-old's parents said they were exceedingly proud of her.

Detectives are questioning Dale Cregan about the murders of

Constable Hughes and her colleague Constable Fiona Bone. It has

emerged that he was questioned about a fatal shooting of a man in

a Manchester pub in June and released on bail. Our correspondent,

Danny Savage, is at the scene. Danny.

Kate, it is just over 24 hours since the the shootings took place

here in Mottram. As you can see the scene behind me is still sealed off.

People are coming and going all of the time, laying flowers here.

Those floral tributes are growing by the minute. Some people just

coming in as I speak, but this is an event, a terrible sequence of

events that left two families in mourning and a whole police force

as well, mourning the loss of two of its own.

This morning, there has been reflection to remember two unarmed

officers killed in the line of duty. At 11am, a minute's silence was

observed at Police Headquarters in Manchester and at the scene of

yesterday's murders. There was a church service too with

candles lit for the two unarmed officers. The scene of yesterday's

gunfire and grenade explosion remains sealed off. This is where

police say a bogus report of a burglary came from. A lie which led

to a deadly ambush here. The floral tributes for PCs Fiona Bone and

Nicola Hughes are growing by the hour. Many from people who never

knew them. But from those close to the officers, the pain of what has

happened is obvious. Nicola Hughes was 23 and leaves

behind her parents and younger brother who she lived with. In a

Her home was here in the village of Diggle where neighbours spoke

fondly of her. Talented, gorgeous, wonderful young

lady and no one, but no one deserves success more than she did.

And she definitely did not deserve what happened yesterday.

Fiona Bone's family life on the Isle of Man. She had been planning

her marriage. She enjoyed her job 100%. She just

loved the thrill of not knowing one day to the next what new adventures

would happen and by all accounts, all her colleagues loved working

with her because she was such a bubbly person. Many left messages

for her on an online condolence book. Gale Gale, -- Dale Cregan,

the man suspected of killing them is being questioned by detectives.

He had been a wanted man, so where had he been until yesterday?

Whatever the truth, a huge manhunt failed to find him. There was a

defiant message from the man who represents the rank and file in

Greater Manchester. Police officers are resilient, they're professional

and although, the police officers of Greater Manchester won't feel

like doing it today, they will come in and they will get on with the

job. The murder of two unarmed

policewomen has reopened the debate on arming all officers, but one of

the most senior policemen in the country said it would be wrong to

do so. The British model of policing is

one of the great strengths of policing that people come from all

over the world to look at it. It would be wrong to change it. These

two officers were doing their duty just to deliver a proper service to

the citizens of Manchester. Detectives investigating the deaths

of two of their own are now working tirelessly to make sure there is

justice for two young women who had There has been confirmed today that

Dale Cregan, the man in custody on suspicion of murder was on bail

after an earlier shooting ings den and the police -- shooting ings

dent and the police were asked about that. Sir Peter Fahy said

that's normal in the case of a complex crime inquiry. That this is

what happened in this case. The police confirmed that. Theresa May,

the Home Secretary, is also set to join, come to Manchester this

afternoon. She cut short her holiday to come and talk to

officers involved in this Police officers in Greater

Manchester observed a minute's silence this morning in honour of

their colleagues. Our correspondent, Ed Thomas, is at the police

Yes, Kate, there is a sense here that the grief of yesterday is now

turning to a determination to investigate this crime. Yes, at

11am the message read out across all police radios here read, "Can

all officers stand by and observe a minute's silence." A chance for the

people inside this building to remember two two colleagues, but

there was this from the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester

Police. Sir Peter Fahy said, "Yesterday, was the hardest day of

my career, but we are now determined to bring each and every

person involved in this to justice." This is because

detectives still still need answer to say many questions? Where has

Dale Cregan been for the past five weeks? Where has Dale Cregan been

living, if anyone has been supporting Dale Cregan? Detectives

hope the answers to these questions will give them a better

understanding of what happened yesterday and on top of all this,

Kate, this police force has a job to do with its rank and file. There

are officers here that need supporting. Remember, there were

several hundred police officers and support staff out on the streets of

Greater Manchester, trying to find Dale Cregan. They did not manage to

do. Those officers are said to be absolutely shattered. The police

authority here made it clear, they will be given all the support and

help they need. The official definition of domestic

violence in England and Wales is being widened by the Government to

include psychological abuse for the first time. The law will now also

recognise that 16 and 17-year-olds can be victims of domestic violence.

Until now, it only applied to Maria was 13 when she started a

relationship with a boy of her own age. He began abusing her verbally.

Eventually the assaults turned physical.

If I didn't do what he liked or just to shut me up in general or he

would - he he held a knife to my throat and he strangled me on one

of the New Years and I passed out. Today's announcement lowers the age

at which victims of domestic violence can be recognised from 18

to 16. And its definition has been widened from acts of brutality to

include psychological, emotional and financial abuse. The sort of

coercive behaviour suffered by this woman.

Within a few months, the control started taking over. Obviously

checking the telephone, text messages, e-mails, phone calls and

then it was who I was with, why I was with them, where I was going?

By widening the definition of domestic violence, ministers at the

Home Office hope to encourage agencies like the police, councils

and authorities to broaden the support they offer to victims and

to make this issue a higher priority. But there is still no

specific criminal offence of domestic violence and campaigners

want tougher action. It is vital that there is a strong

national network of specialist support services for adults,

children, and young people, all victims need help to get through

their experience and to escape from the violence. So that is vital and

those services are currently under threat and being cut because of the

current economic situation. Maria also wants the Government to

go further. It should be a little bit younger

because I was 13 when it started. If high the help before I was 18, I

maybe I would have been more stronger. Do you want a bit of fun

before your parents get back? Advertising campaigns like this one,

send the message that abuse within relationships should never be

The head of the Church of England's Board of Education has entered the

row about the marking of this summer's GCSE English paper,

Two journalists from the Sun newspaper and a serving police

officer from Wiltshire have been arrested by detectives

arrests were made as a result of information passed on by News

Racism remains a "significant problem" in British football

despite improvements in recent years - that's according to MPs.

The Commons Culture Committee says that while there are many players

from ethnic minority backgrounds in the game, they are rarely

represented at managerial level. The report also said homophobia was

a serious issue. Our sports correspondent, Dan Roan, reports.

They are the race related controversies which prompted

politicians to take a long, hard look at how football is dealing

with discrimination, the fall out from the John Terry and Luis Suarez

cases continues and now the sport has been told to do more.

It is damaging to the game and I would have thought that those sort

of things are damaging to the integration of people from

different racial racial backgrounds into the sport.

This is the only black manager in the Premier League and today's

report calls for more transparent recruitment across the game. Other

recommendations include better training of stewards to deal with

abuse and more reporting of racism in the grass-roots game.

The inquiry found that homophobia, especially via social media was a

significant threat. Oldham fans arriving for a home

match against Scunthorpe. This area has been no stranger to racial

tension, so is racism a significant problem here at Boundary Park?

have been told by people who are part of our projects the reason

they don't attend matches because they are frightened.

Asian fan as soon as. Yes. Verbal abuse on the stands of lower

league rounds like this have been eradicated but those fighting

discrimination, insist that football has some way to go.

It happened at a couple of grounds. We have had a couple of people

arrested. Things like that are still going

around the pitch. REPORTER: You suffer it yourself?

The FA has admitted challenges remain, but some believe the sport

is heading in the right direction. I don't think it has been an issue

really. I haven't seen anything for 20 years or something. All of a

sudden, one bad year, doesn't cast the game in doubt as far as I'm

concerned. I'm sure it will be brushed to side.

In July, John Terry was cleared of criminal charges that he racially

abused Anton Ferdinand. On Monday, he will face an FA hearing over the

same incident, having been told to take a lead on racism, the

Government's body on racism will be As thousands of tributes pour in

for Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes who were killed yesterday, it

too often could be giving people more headaches.

A new currency is being launched today in Bristol. Residents will be

able to swap traditional bank note force the Bristol pound in an

attempt to stimulate the local economy. 300 businesss in the City

have already signed up to the scheme. Will it work though? Jon

Kay is there to explain. Jon. Yes, Kate, very busy here in

the centre of Bristol today. Some people already spending these -

that is one Bristol pound, lots of local landmarks on one side, an

urban fox and a bicycle, two other emblems of this city on the other.

The idea is to promote local businesses, to stimulate the high

street, the local economy, but, as you ask, can it work?

What will you give me for my Bristol pound... On the spot where

Bristol's merchants used to trade, a very modern transaction.

That's done... The very first purchase with a brand-new currency.

Thank you very much. The Bristol pound can only be spent

at local independent shops like this cafe and not in national

chains. The idea is to make sure that money earned in the City stays

in the city. We will use the money to go to our

suppliers, then they'll use the money for their suppliers and it

will stay that way, hopefully making Bristol a richer City.

from today, Bristolians can swap their Bank of England notes for

their own version. The fiver is inspired by local street artist,

Banksy. This one celebrates Bristol's history of engineering.

The City Council will even pay staff in local currency if they so

choose. There have been similar schemes

elsewhere in the UK. But this is the first City to try it and the

first to take payments by text. If anywhere it can happen, it can

happen right here in Bristol. It's a fantastic place, counter-cultural

where people start with new ideas and can really flourish.

300 businesses have already signed up, but will customers actually

want to use the currency? Yes, it's just a matter of getting

used to this. This is great, this is good. It speaks about Bristol.

Is this for real? It's not a wind- up. I reckon it's stupid. There are

a lot of people living in Bristol and other places outside Bristol.

Imagine if they've only got this money, what about when you two to

work? One Bristol pound is worth the same as a normal pound. But

local traders hope its value could be much more.

So, lots of interest in it this lunch time, lots of pride, lots of

people trying to get their hands on them. The big challenge pore the

charity and the not for profit organisation behind this though is

making sure people spend them and don't just frame them and put them

up on their living room walls. Kate. Thank you very much.

Up to a million people in Britain may be suffering from headaches

because they're taking painkillers too frequently. The health watchdog

NICE says anyone who takes painkillers more than 15 days a

month could be doing more harm than good. Our Medical Correspondent,

Fergus wallern explains -- Walsh. Aspirin, paraseed moll and other

common painkillers can be very effective in treating headaches.

But tock fors say those who take them more than ten to 15 days a

month are at risk of causing themselves more pain than relief.

This can end up getting into a vicious cycle where your head yick

gets worse so you take more painkillers and it gets worse and

worse and worse -- headaches. This is a very difficult disorder to

treat. The advice sounds De tep sievely simple which is stop taking

painkillers, but this is a difficult piece of advice. You have

to be a strong patient to go through with this. Fran was shocked

to find out she'd been taking over the recommended medication for her

migraines and that it was giving her more headaches so she stopped

taking them. I was signed sauf work for six weeks whilst coming off the

medication -- signed off work. The pain was unbearable, basically like

having a terrible hangover every day, really sensitive to light and

sound. Specialists say stopping

painkillers abruptly makes the problem worse in the short-term but

usually results in dramatically fewer headaches for patients. The

new guidance is for doctors in England and Wales, but the limited

research in this area suggests the problem is global, affecting up to

one in 50 people worldwide. A report based on informal talks

between Foreign Ministers from 11 European Union countries is calling

for much closer integration of foreign and defence policies. The

future of Europe Group which doesn't include Britain, wants the

creation of a single EU foreign ministry. Our Europe correspondent,

Matthew Price, is in Brussels. How significant is the report, first of

all? Well, this is that report. It's

important to point out I think that this is thinking, it's not policy.

The kind of ideas they're talking about in here are significant

because they form part of a wider debate in Brussels and other

European capitals about the way forward for the European Union.

Some of the ideas will be fairly familiar. They're about greater

economic cooperation as a way of stabilising the Single Currency and

not having another euro crisis in the future. Then there's the ideas

on foreign policy you were mentioning, Kate. Some ministers

talk about a foreign defence policy. Some go as far as saying we should

have a European Army. There are ideas then to even then the

European Commission behind me, putting in a European Government to

it, so quite radical thoughts. But, as you say, thoughts at this

stage. Any significance in particular for Britain?

Well, I think there is and I think it's this - it's not that this is

going to happen, it's that people are thinking about this, the

response to the eurozone crisis in many quarters has been to say on

this side of the channel at least, you need more Europe, not less. The

eurozone needs to be strengthened, the European Union needs to be

strengthen and this is a debate coming not just from the 11 Foreign

Ministers but the President of the European Council, the President of

the European Commission and other very important and influential

people. The reason it's that significant

for Britain is, it means that in the coming months and years,

Britain is going to have to make a strategic decision about whether it

wants to be inside that decision- making process or whether it's

going to be on the sidelines of it. There are already fears that is

happening in the euro crisis and the eurozone developments. David

Cameron and the Conservative Party in particular are potentially going

to have some pretty big problems on this one.

Thank you very much. There's been further heavy fighting

in the Syrian capital Damascus with Government forces reported to be

closing in in Al-Hajar Al-Aswad. Activists say the situation is

desperate with troops moving in from all sides bombarding the area.

Syrian state TV says many rebels, which the Government describes as

terrorists, have been killed in the city.

An extreme sports enthusiast from London who was missing in the Swiss

Alps for three days has been found alive thanks to a campaign on

Facebook. Dan Hunt, who is 33 was speed flying off a mountain on

Saturday afternoon when he went missing. His friends raised more

than �16,000 through an online appeal to help fund the rescue.

Daniel Boettcher has more. Dan Hunt after being rescued in the Swiss

Alps. Friends say he was trapped in a gorge for almost 70 hours after

taking part in need flying. These images show what that can involve

using a fabric wing to fly at speed down steep slopes. He was flying

with two friends from a launch site at the area near Interlakeb but

didn't land near the area where he should have done. Paragliders

retraced his route. In Britain, friends coordinated an Internet

campaign to help raise funds for the search.

We thank everyone who's spread the word and made this happen because

if not for everyone's contribution, we wouldn't have found Dan. I think

it's amazing. It's been an anxious wait too at Dan Hunt's place of

work. He owns this health food shop in West London where staff and

customers have been waiting for news.

Holly has known and worked for him for many years, one of the friends

relieved he's been found safe and well. Obviously, it's been very

worrying because we care about Dan an awful lot. It's all fine now

because he's all right and that's the most important thing so we are

thrilled to bits. He was eventually found after making an SOS fine from

branches and flown to hospital for medical checks. It's not thought

that he suffered any serious injuries and friends say he is in

good spirits and grateful for the support he's received. The Prince

of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall have opened a new

rehabilitation complex for injured servicemen and women at Headley

court this morning which treats some of the most seriously injured

military personnel. Daniela Relph is there for us with more.

Well, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall spent a cuple

of hours here this morning meeting staff and patients and hearing

their stories of recovery and rehabilitation -- couple. The

prince is somebody who particularly understands the pressures military

families are under. I should warn you, at the start of this report,

there is some flash photography. He is the father of a son at war,

acutely aware of the danger and sacrifice.

For the Prince of Wales, today's visit to Headley Court wasn't just

a matter of duty, it's something more personal. With the Duchess of

Cornwall, the prince met many of those who've supported Headley

Court and its work. They met a mum ber of paralympian, all former

patients who owe much of their sporting success to the efforts of

staff here -- number of paralympians. Some are encouraged

but also pushed. In the garden, the test track, a series of steps,

paths and slopes to challenge those with new prosthetic legs. It's been

created to help psychological recovery too. It's felt being

outside in a natural environment aids that.

It was just two weeks ago that the prince saw his youngest son head to

Afghanistan. A four month deployment for Prince Harry as an

Apache helicopter pilot. With that personal connection, perhaps more

than ever, the Prince of Wales can appreciate the extraordinary work

that goes on here. The new Jubilee rehabilitation

complex will enhance that work and ensure Headley Court provides

world-class medical care and rehabilitation.

The Prince of Wales has just officially opened this new Jubilee

rehabilitation complex behind me. It's been funded by the Ministry of

Defence, it's cost �16.9 million and it will be a real extension to

the work that's already being done here. Kate

Thank you. One of nature's rarest weather

events has been captured on camera by an Australian film-maker. A fire

tornado or a fire devil which occurs when a warm, rotating column

of air is ignited by a bush fire. The flames can reach up to 30

metres. The event normally lasts only a few minutes but this one

went on for 40. Let's take a good look at that.

Let's take a good look at that. Goodness me. Phil Avery, top that!

I can't, Kate. I can juggle but not much more than that, I'm afraid.

Sunny spells and showers this afternoon is as dramatic as the

British weather gets. One or two of the showers will be on the sharp

side. They've been there from the word go.

You will notice there is a sprinkling to be had across

northern and western parts of Scotland and one or two through

Northern Ireland as well. The general trend sees something of a

migration of the showers. Then pushing towards the eastern side of

the Midlands. Towards Scotland, you are closer to the low pressure so

keeping it unsettled. Plenty of That is how it will continue for

the next few hours. Southern parts of Scotland, northern England and

Northern Ireland too have a sprinkling of showers. You might

hear the odd rumble of thunder over to the east of England. Generally

speaking, the purt south you are, the dry and finer your afternoon

will be -- further south you are. Now, there is a change in hand and

for it we'll have to thank this massive area of cloud out towards

the central parts of the Atlantic. At the moment, you will see it in

the latter part of the evening across Northern Ireland, thickening

all the while, a fair amount of rain there and it continues apace.

Rather chilly where the skies stay clear in the north.

It will be a miserable day tomorrow. Blowy, wet and cool. Nine degrees

in some places, ten or 11 if you are lucky.

Cool to the north and not bad in the south. On through into Friday,

same area of cloud and rain still lurking about with intent, I'm

afraid, across the northern parts of the British Isles, so again for

southern Scotland and Northern Ireland in the first part of the

day, rather wet and it lingers across the northern parts of

England, North Wales and the north Midlands. Brightness in the south

and we see a bit of sunshine. Saturday I'm fairly sure about. Low

pressure moves away, high pressure builds in, things settle down, but

come Sunday, if that low pressure in the Bay of Biscay becomes a

player in our weather, then Saturday and Sunday will be like

chalk and cheese. Saturday, dry, fine, we might get a repeat of that

on Sunday, but if the low pressure comes in, it will be a different

kettle of fish. Alex Deakin will have much to say on the variability

of Sunday on the website. Our top story: As thousands of
