No plans for Britain to be involved in military action in Iraq, | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
but there is a promise of technical support and advice. | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
As Islamist fighters take another town in the north, they're accused | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
And we'll be with the Kurdish fighters, | :00:20. | :00:32. | |
This is the closest we could get to Mosul. But there is where it all | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
began. A sweeping offensive by militants that sent the Iraqi army | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
in panic flight. We'll be live in Baghdad and | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
getting reaction from Westminster. Nearly 50 people have been killed | :00:48. | :00:49. | |

and welcome to the BBC News at One. The Foreign Secretary, William | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
Hague, has again said there are no plans for Britain to be involved in | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
any military intervention in Iraq to ISIS now says it is in control | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
of most of the major cities in the north of the country, | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
the latest being Tal Afar. We'll be reporting from | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
near there in a moment, but first our world affairs | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
correspondent Nick Childs has A warning, you may find some of the | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
images in his report disturbing. In Baghdad more eager, new recruits, | :02:20. | :02:36. | |
it seems, to take on the Sunni insurgency, even though it reported | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
they've taken another town in the north-west. Here, and in many other | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
international capitals, not least Washington, they are still | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
scrambling to respond. And the emergence of these unverified | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
images, which the militants say Iraqi military prisoners being led | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
with mass execution, has added to the international alarm over what is | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
unfolding. Washington called the images horrifying. With air strikes, | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
the Iraqi authorities say they've regained the initiative. | :03:16. | :03:24. | |
TRANSLATION: A force activities have been escalated to war conditions, | :03:25. | :03:33. | |
after the fall of Mosul and Tikrit. Definitely the strikes were very | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
accurate and used very precise missiles. We also have other weapons | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
which we are currently using to hit positions of the primal terror | :03:42. | :03:42. | |
arrests. But the Americans have moved this aircraft carrier into the | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
Gulf. Washington and many others have been unconvinced by Baghdad's | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
reaction to events so far. And with the stakes so high, the United | :03:47. | :03:47. | |
States is bracing itself to lend a direct hand. This man, the Iranian | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
president Hassan Rouhani, is another key player. Could the potential | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
fallout from Iraq even force the old antagonists, Washington and Terron, | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
to hold direct talks on the crisis? The signals so far are mixed. On the | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
streets of Baghdad itself the mood is uncertain. Some clearly oppose | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
the idea of any new American involvement. | :04:03. | :04:11. | |
TRANSLATION: The borders before the invasion were stable. There were no | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
explosions or any other problems, no inter-Sunni Shia problems. After | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
2003, all these things happened and the cause is the USA. And hopes that | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
a new generation of Iraqis could emerge from their country's grim | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
recent history, whatever its causes, are being threatened by this latest | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
flare-up in old animosities. Nick Childs, BBC News. | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
After ISIS extremists overran Mosul last week, | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
a number of Iraqi troops simply gave up their arms and left their posts. | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
In Kurdish areas, fighters called Peshmerga have taken control | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
Our correspondent, Rami Ruhayem has been travelling | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
across northern Iraq and sent this report from just outside Mosul. | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
Parading through disputed territory, alone at last. Not a | :04:59. | :05:07. | |
single shot was fired here. Yet these Kurdish forces swept through | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
unchallenged. This is a northern stretch of Iraq Vase border with | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
Syria. For years, the Iraqi army and Kurdish forces coexisted uneasily | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
here. Every inch was jealously guarded, sometimes to the brink of | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
battle. But suddenly the Iraqi army disappeared. This Kurdish officer | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
says at least 20 positions were abandoned in this region alone. And | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
hundreds across North Western, central and eastern Iraq. This is | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
one of them. Here, we found traces of the Iraqi army's mysterious | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
defeat. There was no fighting, we are told, they just threw off their | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
uniforms and fled. TRANSLATION: There was a collapse of | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
the Iraqi army. The Kurdish forces came to protect the people of this | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
region, the Kurds, Arabs and Turkmen. We did not come to hurt | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
anyone. The terrorists who took Mosul would definitely exploiting | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
the situation if we did not secure the border area. Whatever brought | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
them here, they are happy to stay. In decades past the Kurds rebelled | :06:18. | :06:28. | |
against Baghdad from their mountain strongholds. Today they are closer | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
to statehood than ever before, but dangerous -- danger is still close | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
by. Along their frontiers they faced the jihadis. For now, neither is | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
looking to fight the other. We are in Kurdish held territory and this | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
is the closest we could get to Mosul. Back there is where it all | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
began. A sweeping offensive by militants that set the Iraqi army in | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
panic flight. In the aftermath, Iraq Vase fault lines shifted and its | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
internal boundaries were redrawn. Our world affairs correspondent is | :07:02. | :07:13. | |
in the Iraqi capital. How would you assess the mood in Baghdad? People | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
have been somewhat reassured over the weekend by the fact we've seen | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
so many volunteers here, going to join the Army and also volunteering | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
to join Shi'ite militias. Some of those militias show the force | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
through the city centre and here, which we witnessed. A lot of people | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
joining the Army to try and defend the city, in case the militants do | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
manage to break through the front lines. They lied to the north of | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
here and come towards Baghdad. I think there will be some reassurance | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
by that. However, having said that, we've had the news today that the US | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
embassy has decided that some of its diplomats should leave, moved to | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
other parts of the country or leave Iraq altogether. And then we've also | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
seen the militants and other armed groups seizing control of another | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
town in the Northwest. This is a town called Tal Afar, to the west of | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
Mosul. A long way from here but still it shows that the militants' | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
offensive has not stopped just because they've not broken through | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
so far to Baghdad. They are still pushing ahead with the offensive in | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
other areas, up in the north-west and taking control of Tal afar. One | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
of the key things about that is although the army and police did try | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
to defend it initially come eventually they collapsed, threw | :08:36. | :08:43. | |
away their weapons and fled. Our chief political correspondent, | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
Norman Smith, is in Westminster. The Foreign Secretary, William Hague, is | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
going there this afternoon to give an update. You will find he will | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
pretty much close the door firmly shut on the prospect of any military | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
intervention by the UK. He means not just boots on the ground, no air | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
strikes, no missile strikes, note use of drones or deployment of any | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
military assets. The limit of British military involvement will be | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
providing advice and guidance on counter-terrorism to the Iraqi | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
government. The reason for that is a view that this is an Iraqi problem | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
that has to be resolved by the Iraqis, who have had adequate | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
military and security training to handle this themselves. Secondly, | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
that if there is to be any interaction, that should be left of | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
the Americans. Thirdly, a recognition that they have almost no | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
prospect of winning a Commons vote on action in Iraq, given the | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
shattering defeat they suffered over Syria. Which brings us to the fourth | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
factor, which might be termed the shadow of Tony Blair. The view that | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
Tony Blair has made the prospect of intervention almost anywhere in the | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
Middle East so toxic that it is a political impossibility. More than | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
that, every time he ventures and opinion on the issue, as he did over | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
the weekend, that simply hardens public and political opposition to | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
any form of military action. So much so that even those who are prepared | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
to consider some form of action, or at least not ruling it out, the | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
likes of the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, he urged Tony Blair, in his | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
words, to put a sock in it and a paper bag over his head. | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
In Kenya, at least 48 people have been killed in attacks on hotels | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
Al-Shabab, from neighbouring Somalia, are responsible | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
The town is 30 miles south west of the popular tourist destination | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
The assault began there yesterday evening and went on | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
Our world affairs correspondent Paul Adams reports. | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
You may find some of the images in the report distressing. | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
The smouldering aftermath of a ferocious attack lasting | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
Dozens of gunmen storming into this small coastal town last | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
night, as local people watched the World Cup on TV. | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
At the Breeze View Hotel, the police say gunmen forced women | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
Revenge, they said, for the actions of Kenyan troops | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
Inevitably the authorities are blaming Somalia's Al-Shabab. | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
The group does not appear to have claimed responsibility. | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
Mpeketoni is not a tourist haunt, but banks and tourist buildings | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
Shooting was heard late into the night. | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
Some residents fled into nearby forests to escape the carnage. | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
So far the bodies which we've managed to collect, we've already | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
But there are still some more bodies lying on the streets. | :11:36. | :11:44. | |
With bodies still waiting to be collected, | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
The authorities have said they will be on high alert throughout the | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
World Cup, and that public viewings of games will be kept safe. | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
Four years ago, Al-Shabab attacked World Cup fans | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
More than 70 people were killed in two near simultaneous bombings. | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
And if the latest violence is the work of Al-Shabab, it will be the | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
group's most audacious operations be attack on Nairobi's Westgate | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
The Kenyan Red Cross has arrived in Mpeketoni helping to track | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
down survivors and assessing the aftermath | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
From today, parents who force their children into marriage | :12:29. | :12:36. | |
in England and Wales could face up to seven years in jail. | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
Around 8000 young people are coerced into marriages each year | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
The new law will also help UK nationals overseas, | :12:44. | :12:54. | |
All of those signs are there, they are withdrawn, depressed, not taking | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
part in things, you can't get hold of them easily. A lesson in spotting | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
the signs of someone at risk of a forced marriage. This campaign is | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
trying to educate students before the holidays, when many children | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
become victims. But the forced marriage in our crime, it is hoped | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
that will change. Forced marriage can lead to domestic abuse, rape | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
and, in the most extreme cases, it can lead to murder. Since 2008, | :13:22. | :13:37. | |
victims could seek protection orders in the civil courts. Now reaching | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
these orders is illegal, alongside the new crime of forcing someone to | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
marry. It carries up to seven in jail. It's hoped the law will help | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
victims like this woman, whose parents took her abroad and forced | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
her to marry a stranger at just 17. I was physically abused, mentally | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
abused, sexually abused, verbally abused, I wasn't even allowed out of | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
the house. I was a prisoner in a home, I was treated like slaves. It | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
was very traumatic. When your parents took you away and told you | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
they were going to make you marry this person, who was in effect a | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
stranger to view, what did you say to them? I cried, I begged that I | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
could come back to London with them. They refused. They felt I was | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
becoming far too westernised and I was going to bring shame on the | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
family. Their decision was if I was to be taken away and forced into | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
marriage, it would be the right thing for me. Many victims are taken | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
abroad and coerced to marry. But some marriages take place right here | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
in the UK, behind closed doors. There is a well read this new law | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
could stop victims from coming forward and seeking help, because | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
they would fear if they did their own parents could end up in jail. | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
That is the concern here, that this is already hidden issue could be | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
driven further underground. Sceptics of this law point to Scotland, which | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
criminalised breaches of protection orders in 2011. But they have been | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
no prosecutions. We note dealing with victims that it will not end | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
the practice. What needs to continue and what needs to happen is the | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
community work supporting victims, empowering them and educating | :15:20. | :15:21. | |
communities, so working with perpetrators to change their | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
mindsets. Many believe education alongside this new law is the only | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
way to stamp out forced marriage. Michael Schumacher is no longer in a | :15:28. | :15:52. | |
coma and has left hospital in Grenoble where he had been receiving | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
treatment after being injured in a skiing accident last year. He will | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
continue his rehabilitation out of the public spotlight. | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
It was an accident that shocked the world of sport. The seven times | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
Formula one championship marker hits his head on a rock while skiing in | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
the French Alpine resort last year. Since then, he has been receiving | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
treatment at this hospital in Grenoble, but today, news that he | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
has now left and his treatment will carry on at a hospital in | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
Switzerland. A statement from his management team said, Michael has | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
left the hospital in Grenoble to continue his long phase of | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
rehabilitation. He is not in a coma any more. For the future, gas for | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
understanding that his further rehabilitation will take place away | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
from the public eye. A clear message from his team that his treatment has | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
reached a new phase. His former employers, Ferrari, say their | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
reaction is one of warming joy, but as the family thank those involved, | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
what is not clear is just what today's news means regarding the | :16:57. | :17:06. | |
prospects of a term recovery. Our top story this lunchtime: | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
Islamist fighters led by the militant group Isis have overrun | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
another key city in northern Iraq. And coming up, I am in Rio as | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
England begin their preparations for their crucial match against Uruguay. | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
The Fire Brigade warns of the dangers of living in sheds | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
And the plans to change flight routes at Stansted Airport to help | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
reduce congestion in the skies above Heathrow. | :17:31. | :17:40. | |
Now to the World Cup - and England's footballers will be | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
back at their Rio training ground today for the first time since | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
They have just three days to prepare themselves for their next group game | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
against Uruguay, who also lost their first match. | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
To say this is a crucial game is rather understating it? That is | :17:56. | :18:09. | |
right. England certainly have lent it to work on over the next few | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
days. It was a frustrating weekend for them, but this World Cup is | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
certainly giving us plenty of entertainment value. Yesterday, it | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
gave us a bit of history as well. The first-ever World Cup goal | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
awarded two goal-line technology. It is the World Cup that continues | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
to sparkle MO with Lionel Messi the latest big star to shine. The tone | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
of this tournament has been attacked, and here it was Messi's | :18:37. | :18:44. | |
turn, leading Argentina to a victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina. That is | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
what they came for! And Lionel Messi finally rewards them. Not the most | :18:50. | :18:57. | |
convincing of wins, but Messi's mission is underway. France, | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
meanwhile, became the first team to benefit from goal-line technology at | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
a World Cup in their 3-0 win over ten man endures. -- Honduras. It was | :19:05. | :19:17. | |
confirmed that the keeper forced the ball over the line. Confusing? | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
Honduras fans thought so, and now FIFA officials say they will review | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
how the technology is forecast. How long have we been asking for this? | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
This changes the game. Switzerland were heading for the first draw at | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
the World Cup against Ecuador until their substitute turned things | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
around in the nick of time. With just when the three seconds | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
remaining on the clock, he came off the bench to rescue a win for his | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
side and keep the Europeans on top in group E. 11 games, and there has | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
already been said 37 goals at this tournament. Tonight, it is Cristiano | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
Ronaldo's turn to prove he can light up the world stage. His Portugal | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
side take on one of the favourites, Germany, in the so-called group of | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
death bomb another match fans will hope lives up to the hype. Katie | :20:04. | :20:11. | |
Gornall, BBC News. England have one defeat under their belt. Is there | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
any cause for optimism? England can take some positives from that defeat | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
against Italy. They were attacking and adventurous. Roy Hodgson said it | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
was the best he had ever seen his team play. His decision to play | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
19-year-old Raheem Sterling was entirely vindicated. But inevitably, | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
there will be concerns both in defence and also in attack, most | :20:33. | :20:34. | |
notably what to do about Wayne Rooney. Rooney likes to play through | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
the centre. Hodgson on Saturday played him on the left, and | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
unfamiliar role. And although Rooney set up England's all, he looked a | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
peripheral figure for much of the time. So should Hodgson consider | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
playing him through the centre? Maybe he should consider other | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
options, like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who may now | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
return from injury. As far as Uruguay are concerned, although on | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
paper it is England's toughest match in this group, they reached the | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
semifinals of the World Cup four years ago, but they would | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
disappointing in their opening match against Costa Rica. They lost that | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
3-1. They may have the Liverpool striker Luis Suarez back from | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
injury, but England captain Steven Gerrard says he believes if England | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
players did against Italy, they can beat Uruguay and get through that | :21:21. | :21:21. | |
revocation group. People are being advised not to | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
wash chicken before they cook The Food Standards Agency says | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
the splashing of water can actually spread bacteria and only thorough | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
cooking will kill germs. Nearly half | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
of us wash our chicken before we cook it, but according to the Food | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
Standards Agency, it's a bad habit that can spread harmful bacteria all | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
over the kitchen through splashing. When you wash the chicken, the | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
water spreads all around the sink. Afterwards, you don't clean it up | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
properly and it gets in the food One of the most common germs | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
in chicken is campylobacter. It causes more food | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
poisoning than E. Coli, listeria | :22:00. | :22:01. | |
and Salmonella put together, It can lead to serious complications | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
and sometimes even kill. Ann Edwards takes hygiene | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
in the kitchen very seriously. 17 years ago, | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
she was infected by campylobacter My toes don't bend | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
and my feet are very stiff. I have got very poor stamina, | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
and it completely turned my life The Food Standards Agency says more | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
than a quarter of a million people are infected | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
by campylobacter every year. That is why the agency is urging | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
people not to wash their poultry. It doesn't make the chicken | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
any more hygienic or cleaner. Thorough cooking will | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
kill any harmful bugs. So the advice, as always, | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
is to make sure the chicken is heated right through, and there is | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
no blood or pink meat left. The parents of Madeleine McCann have | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
expressed their frustration after their libel case against the | :22:59. | :23:06. | |
police officer who initially led the Goncalo Amaral claimed in a book, | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
published in 2008, that the four-year-old died | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
in an accident and that Kate The couple are seeking damages | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
and had been due to give evidence Scotland's deputy first minister, | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
Nicola Sturgeon, has been setting out the Yes campaign's interim | :23:25. | :23:33. | |
and permanent constitutions at a She confirmed that if Scotland left | :23:34. | :23:48. | |
the UK, it should be nuclear free, saying she wanted Scotland to be a | :23:49. | :23:49. | |
good global citizen. Our Scotland Correspondent James | :23:50. | :23:50. | |
Cook is in Edinburgh. What else is in their constitutional | :23:51. | :24:00. | |
plan? It is fairly lengthy. There is a reasonable number of pages in this | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
document, but it is part of a twin track approach to constitutional | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
change that the Scottish government would hope to bring about if the | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
people of Scotland vote yes for independence in what is now just | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
over 13 weeks' time, believe it or not, this autumn. The first half of | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
that approach is that there would be an interim situation. This would | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
consider when members of the Scottish Parliament. The idea is | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
that that would be in place to enable estate to function by the | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
time it became independent. The SNP hope that would be by March 2016. | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
Today Nicola Sturgeon set out some of the detail of that interim | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
constitution, saying for example that it would incorporate human | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
rights, guarantee the continuing role of the monarch as head of | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
state, and it would commit the Scottish government to negotiate | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
with safe, speedy removal of nuclear weapons from Scottish shores. | :24:50. | :24:51. | |
Opponents have said that would be bad for jobs. The SNP insists not. | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
At the same time, a second approach would be to consider the permanent | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
constitution of an independent Scotland. That would be a more | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
inclusive process involving civic society. The SNP 's say it is | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
important to establish from the start the foundations of a new | :25:11. | :25:11. | |
state. The dreaded dentist's drill may soon | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
be a thing of the past, thanks to a tooth-rebuilding treatment that | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
could be available in three years. The technique, developed at King's | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
College London, does away with fillings and instead encourages | :25:21. | :25:22. | |
teeth to repair themselves. It is the sound that gets you, the | :25:23. | :25:41. | |
angry howl of the dentist's drill. Modern techniques may be virtually | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
pain-free, it just doesn't seem that way. The usual practice is to drill | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
out to decay, and then fill the cavity with resin. The treatment | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
developed at Kings College is a 2-step process which involves first | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
preparing it damaged area of enamel, and then using a tiny | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
electric current to push minerals into the repair site. There is no | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
need for any drilling. It makes you wince just to watch it, so could a | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
technique which has terrified generations of patients really be | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
drawing to a close? Well, the profession is excited about the | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
prospect. I am very interested. This is going to be a new development on | :26:25. | :26:32. | |
the interface between technology and natural healing potential of teeth. | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
Patients at this surgery this morning also welcomed the notion of | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
the drill being consigned to the past. I hate drilling. I have had a | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
lot of drilling in my life, from when I was a young kid. The sound of | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
any drilling drives me crazy. I don't like drills, they are scary. | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
It is amazing. I have had a lot of dealings, so the idea of not having | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
any drilling, perfect. Dentists say the best advice is to maintain good | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
oral hygiene, and avoid any treatment at all. Jon Brain, BBC | :27:05. | :27:05. | |
News. England's cricketers are hoping to | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
force a dramatic victory on the final day | :27:09. | :27:10. | |
of the first test of the summer. They've given themselves the day | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
to bowl out Sri Lanka in their But so far, Sri Lankan | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
resistance has been strong. Our Sports Correspondent Joe Wilson | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
reports from Lord's. He was the deal at Monday on Lords, | :27:22. | :27:30. | |
a ?20 note for a day at the cricket, special offer. By 10:30am, | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
a trickle had been enticed to the turnstiles, but the chance of | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
victory was there. Why not come along and be optimistic? From an | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
England point of view, it was only a case of ten little wickets. England | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
need things to fly their way almost instantly. This was the first over | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
of the morning, agonising for Anderson. 29 minutes gone, first Sri | :27:53. | :27:55. | |
Lanka batsman out. Broad had struck. Technically, Sri Lanka | :27:56. | :28:01. | |
needed to score 380 to win the match themselves. It was a long way off, | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
and England were relaxed about conceding once. Kaushal Silva has | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
given a good account of himself in this test. Another four from him | :28:11. | :28:14. | |
took Sri Lanka to 50, an hour gone in the day. Also batting with huge | :28:15. | :28:21. | |
experience, Kumar Sangakkara. Getting rid of him was key for an | :28:22. | :28:24. | |
England side filled with new players trying to throw themselves into the | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
task. Enthusiasm will always get you somewhere. Plunkett touring, Kaushal | :28:29. | :28:34. | |
Silva keeping him out. One way or another. Brave defence is all part | :28:35. | :28:38. | |
of test begin. At lunch, Sri Lanka were still just one wicket down. 99 | :28:39. | :28:44. | |
runs scored for an England side losing the memory of victory, there | :28:45. | :28:47. | |
is still an opportunity, but they need to act quickly. Joe Wilson, BBC | :28:48. | :28:49. | |
News, Lord's high pressure has taken up residency | :28:50. | :29:01. | |
just to the west of the British Isles. The weather will stay dry for | :29:02. | :29:05. | |
the jockey of us. There will be quite a lot of cloud around. There | :29:06. | :29:14. | |
is a lot of cloud in the Atlantic at the moment, which will continue to | :29:15. | :29:16. | |
be brought into the British Isles by the winds that are doing a lap | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
around the Atlantic, pick-up moisture. Even today, there are good | :29:21. | :29:26. | |
gaps in the cloud, the Northern Ireland and Scotland. The cloud over | :29:27. | :29:35. | |
Norway will move into woodland and Scotland -- the cloud will move away | :29:36. | :29:39. | |
tomorrow, for the prospects of a sparkling day. Today, the rest of | :29:40. | :29:44. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland will stay fine, with further spells of | :29:45. | :29:51. | |
sunshine. There will be some brightness across the western | :29:52. | :29:55. | |
fringes of England and Wales, East Anglia and the south-east. We could | :29:56. | :29:57. | |
see a few fleeting, isolated showers, but the majority of us, it | :29:58. | :30:04. | |
will stay dry. It could be a slippery playing surface in Nadal. | :30:05. | :30:13. | |
Tonight, most of the country will keep a fair bit of cloud around. It | :30:14. | :30:17. | |
will turn misty as well across the north of Scotland, along with spots | :30:18. | :30:21. | |
of rain. But most of the country stays mild, with temperatures in 11 | :30:22. | :30:28. | |
to 15 degrees. On Tuesday, those clear skies across Norway will be | :30:29. | :30:34. | |
moving in to England and Wales, with sparkling visibility and lots of | :30:35. | :30:43. | |
sunshine. It will be feeling much warmer in London, but it will | :30:44. | :30:46. | |
probably not be the warmest spot. That will be further north, in the | :30:47. | :30:51. | |
central belt of Scotland, where temperatures could hit 25 degrees. | :30:52. | :31:00. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland are likely to see their warmest day of | :31:01. | :31:05. | |
the year so far. Overnight, the heat and unity could spark off a few | :31:06. | :31:09. | |
showers, which will eventually clear South England. For the latter part | :31:10. | :31:14. | |
of the week, a lot of fine and dry weather. Often a fair bit of cloud | :31:15. | :31:18. | |
around, but there will be these sunny slots in the weather which | :31:19. | :31:19. | |
will change from day to day. A reminder of our tops Tory: | :31:20. | :31:32. | |
