killed this week. Dale Cregan was taken to court amid high-security

in a convoy of police vehicles. As he stood in the dock, armed

officers stood guard both inside and outside the building.

:01:40.:01:43.

News at Six. The man charged with the murder of two police officers

:01:43.:01:47.

in Greater Manchester has appeared in court amid a huge security

:01:47.:01:53.

operation. Dale Cregan was taken to Manchester City Magistrates in a

:01:53.:01:58.

convoy of police vehicles. As well as the murders of PCs Fiona Bone

:01:58.:02:01.

and Nicola Hughes, he has been charged with the murders of father

:02:01.:02:06.

and son, David and Mark Short, who were killed earlier this year, and

:02:06.:02:13.

with four attempted murders. Let's get more from Danny Savage.

:02:13.:02:19.

You really only have to come here to realise the profound effect the

:02:19.:02:24.

week's events have had here. There are more than 1,000 bouquets of

:02:24.:02:28.

flowers here. This is happening on the same day that the man accused

:02:28.:02:34.

of being responsible for what happened here appeared in court.

:02:34.:02:40.

It was just before 8.00am when a police convoy carrying Dale Cregan

:02:40.:02:44.

swept through the streets of Manchester. This was a high-

:02:44.:02:48.

security operation involving many armed officers, rarely seen on the

:02:48.:02:53.

streets of Britain. Once the convoy was in the underground car park of

:02:53.:02:56.

the Magistrates' Court, they stood guard outside. The pedestrian

:02:57.:03:01.

entrance to the court was watched by armed response vehicles. The

:03:01.:03:05.

family and friends of some of those Cregan is accused of killing even

:03:05.:03:13.

had a police escort to the door. At 10.00am, Dale Cregan, who only has

:03:13.:03:18.

one eye and has grown a beard, was brought into Court 16. He was

:03:18.:03:22.

flanked by policemen who kept their hands tucked into the top of their

:03:22.:03:26.

body armour. As armed officers in the courtroom looked on, the

:03:26.:03:30.

charges were read out. Cregan is accused of murdering four people.

:03:30.:03:35.

In May, Mark Short was found dead at a pub called the Cotton Tree.

:03:35.:03:41.

Three months later, he is also accused of killing David Short who

:03:41.:03:46.

died in a gun and grenade attack. Cregan is charged with killing PCs

:03:46.:03:50.

Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes earlier this week. They both died

:03:50.:03:56.

of gunshot wounds. Additionally, Dale Cregan faces four counts of

:03:56.:04:01.

attempted murder. As the court hearing took place, forensics work

:04:01.:04:05.

continued at the scene of Tuesday's killings. The Prime Minister was in

:04:05.:04:08.

Manchester today for a private meeting with the policewomen's

:04:08.:04:12.

families and talked about what had happened here. It is right that we

:04:12.:04:16.

praise the work that they did and remember all that they have done.

:04:16.:04:19.

It is also important that the Government makes sure that it is

:04:19.:04:23.

doing everything it can to help the Greater Manchester Police Force

:04:23.:04:28.

tackle organised crime and gang- related violence. The Prime

:04:28.:04:30.

Minister also said the whole country has been shocked by the

:04:31.:04:35.

deaths of the two officers. Tens of thousands of people have left

:04:35.:04:40.

tributes to them online where friends and familys have also

:04:40.:04:45.

posted photos. After today's brief court appearance, the man accused

:04:45.:04:50.

of killing them was taken away. The armed convoy taking Dale Cregan,

:04:50.:04:56.

who was remanded in custody, back to Strangeways Prison. Let's join

:04:56.:05:00.

Danny Savage now. A second court appearance by Dale Cregan is

:05:00.:05:06.

expected on Monday? Yes, Dale Cregan will stay in prison for the

:05:06.:05:10.

foreseeable future whilst this legal process takes place. His next

:05:10.:05:13.

court appearance is on Monday morning at Manchester Crown Court.

:05:13.:05:16.

There will be a repeat of the security operation of today when

:05:16.:05:21.

that takes place. A 28-year-old man, who was arrested earlier this week

:05:21.:05:25.

on suspicion of conspiracy to murder, has been in custody for a

:05:25.:05:28.

couple of days - police have released him without charge this

:05:28.:05:33.

evening. Thank you.

:05:33.:05:37.

The Government's Chief Whip has apologised for insulting a police

:05:37.:05:41.

officer in Downing Street. Reports say Andrew Mitchell called a

:05:41.:05:45.

Constable "a pleb" when he was stopped from cycling out through

:05:45.:05:50.

the main gate. Mr Mitchell denies that. Carole Walker joins us from

:05:50.:05:53.

the Downing Street gates now. This is very bad timing and Mr Mitchell

:05:53.:05:58.

has only just been promoted? Yes, that's right. Andrew Mitchell has

:05:58.:06:01.

admitted he did not treat the police with the respect they

:06:01.:06:05.

deserve, although he disputes some of the accounts of what has

:06:05.:06:08.

happened here. Labour say his behaviour was disgraceful and are

:06:08.:06:14.

demanding a full explanation. Andrew Mitchell is used to wheeling

:06:14.:06:18.

his way around Westminster and the man newly-promoted to take charge

:06:18.:06:22.

of party discipline did not take kindly when told to toe the line by

:06:22.:06:25.

police in Downing Street. On Wednesday night his attempt to take

:06:25.:06:29.

his bicycle out through the main vehicle was thwarted when police

:06:29.:06:34.

insisted he use a smaller, pedestrian gate alongside it. What

:06:34.:06:43.

happened next is disputed. The Sun has described an outburst at one of

:06:43.:06:49.

the policemen. The BBC understands the officer from Scotland Yard's

:06:49.:06:53.

Diplomatic Protection Group has told the Police Federation the

:06:53.:06:55.

Sun's account is accurate. The Prime Minister did not hide his

:06:56.:06:58.

anger. What Andrew Mitchell said and what he did was not appropriate.

:06:58.:07:05.

It was wrong. It is right that he's apologised. He's apologised to me.

:07:05.:07:10.

But he's apologised to the police and that needs to be done. As the

:07:10.:07:14.

former Minister for International Development, he did much to shed

:07:14.:07:19.

his old image. The millionaire former investment banker, educated

:07:19.:07:23.

in Cambridge, had a tough reputation. But police

:07:23.:07:27.

representatives say he has shown a particular lack of sensitivity in

:07:27.:07:30.

the week two policewomen were killed. Mr Mitchell should resign

:07:30.:07:34.

from office. It is clear to me, from the reports we have seen in

:07:34.:07:39.

the Sun newspaper today, and from speaking to officers that I

:07:39.:07:43.

represent, that his comments were totally inappropriate. Today Mr

:07:43.:07:48.

Mitchell was nowhere to be seen in his constituency. Local people were

:07:48.:07:53.

not impressed. You can't swear at people like that. They were only

:07:53.:07:56.

doing their job. He has a lot of influence over people. He shouldn't

:07:56.:08:00.

be acting that way at all. should have known better. I think

:08:00.:08:06.

it will put a lot of people off him. Andrew Mitchell has apologised

:08:06.:08:09.

profusely to the police officer concerned and to the Prime Minister.

:08:10.:08:15.

But even some in his own party are questioning whether he can survive.

:08:15.:08:19.

Some Conservative MPs think that the whole thing is really very

:08:19.:08:22.

damaging indeed for the party. I understand that Boris Johnson, the

:08:22.:08:25.

Mayor of London, who in the past has said that anyone who swears at

:08:25.:08:30.

a police officer should be arrested, is deeply unimpressed by what he's

:08:30.:08:35.

heard. But for now, the Prime Minister has accepted Andrew

:08:35.:08:40.

Mitchell's apology and Mr Mitchell remains in his job.

:08:40.:08:44.

At least 15 people have been killed in Pakistan as violence has erupted

:08:44.:08:49.

in parts of the country during protests against an anti-Islamic

:08:49.:08:52.

amateur film made in America. Thousands of people have taken to

:08:52.:08:56.

the streets and buildings have been burnt down in Peshawar, including

:08:57.:09:03.

an Anglican church. There were protests in Bangladesh, Indonesia,

:09:03.:09:12.

Lebanon and Iraq. Venting their fury on a cinema in

:09:12.:09:16.

Peshawar. The government billed this as a day of love for the

:09:16.:09:22.

Prophet Mohammed. It quickly became a day of rage. Pakistan's

:09:22.:09:25.

commercial capital, Karachi, was closed for business, like the rest

:09:25.:09:30.

of the country. Here too the protests turned violent. Police

:09:30.:09:36.

cars set alight on the road to the American Consulate.

:09:36.:09:39.

TRANSLATION: We want to show the world that all Muslims are united

:09:40.:09:46.

about this. We are ready to die for the Prophet Mohammed. President

:09:46.:09:53.

Obama had hoped to avoid all this with an ad broadcast on Pakistani

:09:53.:09:58.

TV condemning the video and emphasising America's commitment to

:09:58.:10:02.

religious tolerance. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious

:10:02.:10:08.

beliefs of others. But on the streets of Islamabad, this was the

:10:08.:10:16.

response. "American dogs" they chanted. Then they tried to push

:10:16.:10:24.

forward towards the high-security diplomatic quarter. Trouble has

:10:24.:10:29.

broken out here within the last few minutes. Police have opened fire in

:10:29.:10:33.

this direction towards protesters who managed to come through the

:10:33.:10:37.

barricade. For the second day running, they have attempted to

:10:37.:10:42.

reach the US Embassy, which is just up the road. For hours, a battle

:10:42.:10:47.

raged. For many here, the amateurish video that insulted

:10:47.:10:51.

their Prophet Mohammed is an intolerable personal affront. They

:10:51.:10:58.

were ready to risk life and limb to make their protest. Up ahead,

:10:58.:11:05.

keeping watch, we found Pakistan de facto Interior Minister. He

:11:05.:11:11.

defended the Government's decision to make today a public holiday.

:11:11.:11:14.

Imagine, if school were opened, shops were open, the transport was

:11:14.:11:21.

on the road, who could have handled it? At least the police has got

:11:21.:11:26.

only one confrontation to handle all these protesters. But many may

:11:26.:11:31.

say that decision backfired badly. By evening, riot police were

:11:31.:11:36.

stoning the protesters and still holding them back from the US

:11:36.:11:42.

Embassy. Now it's been home to some of

:11:42.:11:45.

Britain's biggest music acts, including The Beatles, Queen, Kylie

:11:45.:11:49.

Minogue. They have all come under the EMI umbrella. Now the company

:11:49.:11:53.

is set to be taken over by Universal Music. There were fears

:11:53.:11:57.

the merged group would be too dominant but the takeover has been

:11:57.:12:05.

given the go-ahead by European and US regulators, but on the condition

:12:05.:12:10.

that some of the biggest bands are not included in the deal.

:12:10.:12:15.

It's one of the world's biggest record companies. Kylie Minogue is

:12:15.:12:25.
:12:25.:12:26.

an EMI artist. The Sex Pistols were on EMI - it didn't work out. And so

:12:26.:12:31.

were The Beatles. It is that near priceless back catalogue that most

:12:31.:12:36.

attracted Universal. The most exciting aspect of this deal will

:12:36.:12:43.

be that they now own The Beatles, The Beach Boys and the Rolling

:12:43.:12:48.

Stones' catalogue. EMI's a company with a long history. It was founded

:12:48.:12:53.

in 1897. Its famous recording studios opened in 1931. This is

:12:53.:12:57.

where The Beatles made their records in the 1960s and '70s. In

:12:57.:13:02.

an age when sales of recorded music from a company's back catalogue are

:13:02.:13:09.

overtaking sales of new music, that heritage, that history is one of

:13:09.:13:13.

EMI's greatest assets. The fans still gather outside the studios

:13:13.:13:18.

and on the pedestrian crossing made famous by the cover of The Beatles

:13:18.:13:24.

Abbey Road album. They are buying fewer CDs. The ones they are buying

:13:24.:13:31.

tend to be old recordings. The deal comes at a price. The stake in Mute

:13:31.:13:37.

Records must be sold, so too Chrysalis Records and Parlophone.

:13:37.:13:42.

These have to go because otherwise the merged company would be too

:13:42.:13:45.

powerful. Universal is already the biggest music company in the world.

:13:45.:13:51.

It was created by a emergencyer like this in the 1990s. Yet, it

:13:51.:13:57.

will now be more dominant -- by a merger like this in the 1990s. Yet,

:13:57.:14:04.

it will now be more dominant. It will be impossible for Spotify to

:14:04.:14:13.

launch without having Universal on board. The question now - will this

:14:13.:14:23.
:14:23.:14:27.

merged music giant go on investing in new artists?

:14:27.:14:30.

The leader of the UK Independence Party has been setting out his

:14:30.:14:34.

terms for a possible deal with the Conservatives. Nigel Farage said an

:14:34.:14:37.

agreement could be reached in return for a guarantee written in

:14:37.:14:41.

blood, that there would be a referendum on Britain's membership

:14:41.:14:51.
:14:51.:14:56.

Europe is in crisis. And because of it, Nigel Farage believes UK's

:14:56.:15:03.

fortunes are bulging. They want to be seen as Britain's 4th political

:15:03.:15:08.

party, but a member of Parliament hasn't happened. I have not

:15:08.:15:13.

persuaded you? No, you won't, I am afraid. They have been labelled

:15:13.:15:18.

extremist and racist in the past. They believe they are in the

:15:18.:15:21.

ascendancy. An alternative for those who hanker after a stronger

:15:21.:15:27.

view on Europe. Conservatives in particular. Now there is talk of a

:15:27.:15:33.

deal with the Tories at the next election to spur David Cameron from

:15:33.:15:39.

the UKIP threat. -- despair David Cameron. But the price will be high.

:15:39.:15:45.

The only way we would consider it at all, is if they promise was made

:15:45.:15:50.

to give this country a full, free and fair referendum, so we could

:15:50.:15:54.

decide whether we remain members of the EU. That it would have to be on

:15:54.:15:59.

the table before we consider that any proposal. He went further, he

:15:59.:16:03.

said he wants any promise written in blood before there is the chance

:16:03.:16:08.

of formal talks. He knows in the Midlands heartlands, their numbers

:16:08.:16:13.

may be small, but it is big enough to scupper the chances of the

:16:13.:16:17.

Conservatives winning the next General Election out right. Europe

:16:17.:16:25.

is moving closer to a political union but has ruled out a

:16:25.:16:28.

referendum on Britain leaving the EU completely. I don't believe

:16:28.:16:33.

leaving the EU would be best for Britain. But nor do I believe

:16:33.:16:39.

keeping the status code would be good either. But UKIP hoped to fuel

:16:39.:16:44.

a political earthquake in the next Euro elections in two years. People

:16:44.:16:49.

vote differently at a European elections than they do at a general

:16:49.:16:54.

elections. We could see UKIP become the largest party in 2014. The

:16:54.:17:01.

Conservatives are doing worse in the polls. UKIP has been dismissed

:17:01.:17:10.

has a one-man band and a one-trick pony. But UKIP's answer is an in,

:17:10.:17:17.

out a referendum. Our top story tonight: Dale Cregan - the man

:17:17.:17:20.

charged with the murders of two police officers has appeared in

:17:20.:17:23.

court. Coming up: Britain's borrowing bill is up by �14 billion

last month - so when will the China's Communist Party is

:17:49.:17:52.

preparing to install a new generation of leaders to run the

:17:52.:17:55.

country for the next decade. One of the most difficult questions

:17:55.:17:58.

they'll face is whether to end the country's one child policy -

:17:58.:18:03.

originally introduced to curb population growth. Latest figures

:18:03.:18:06.

show that the Chinese birth rate is now well below the level necessary

:18:06.:18:09.

to keep the population stable. Our correspondent, Damian Grammaticas,

:18:09.:18:12.

mother's eyes, a little angel. But she will have no brother or sister,

:18:31.:18:35.

she is the one child this family can have.

:18:35.:18:40.

TRANSLATION: One child is too few, we should be allowed at least two.

:18:40.:18:44.

They should change the rules. Pressure for change is growing.

:18:44.:18:48.

China may have the world's biggest population, but it needs more

:18:48.:18:55.

babies. Its birth rate has collapsed. Not according to phase

:18:55.:19:02.

out the one-child policy would be one of the long lasting legacies, a

negative one for the leadership. They have missed the opportunity,

:19:05.:19:09.

drag their feet and dropped the ball on this. The rules are complex,

:19:09.:19:14.

many couples are exempt, but if you live in the city, you can have one

:19:14.:19:19.

child only, unless both parents are single children, then you can have

:19:19.:19:24.

two. In the countryside, one child if it is a boy, but if the first is

:19:24.:19:28.

a girl, then you can have another. Enforcement of the policy can be

:19:28.:19:34.

brutal. At an unmarked grave he dug yourself, a father mourns his baby,

:19:34.:19:39.

murdered, he says by officials. This lady and her husband already

:19:39.:19:45.

have a child and she is allowed a second under exemptions. When she

:19:45.:19:50.

was six months pregnant, officials dragged her to hospital and

:19:50.:19:53.

injected her to force an abortion. The next day, she delivered her

:19:53.:20:00.

baby boy, who died soon after. Many in China wants this policy to end.

:20:00.:20:06.

This is another reason to scrap it. A backstreet ultrasound --

:20:14.:20:24.
:20:24.:20:26.

"can you see the sex of my baby"? The reply was, "I think it is a

controls, fearing a new population explosions. But, they will have to

:21:13.:21:18.

choose, take a risk or soldier on with a policy that is increasingly

:21:18.:21:24.

unpopular and problematic. And there's more on how China's

:21:24.:21:27.

population is changing on our website, with the projections for

:21:27.:21:30.

the decades ahead and what it all could mean for China and the wider

world. The address is on your The Government borrowed more money

:21:39.:21:42.

in August than it did at the same time last year - according to new

figures released today. It'll add to the pressure on the Chancellor,

:21:45.:21:48.

George Osborne, over his target to bring the Government's debt down

:21:48.:21:50.

within three years. Our chief economics correspondent, Hugh Pym,

the Government has run up on its credit card and it shows nearly

but the Treasury was arguing the figure could have been worse.

reading too much into these monthly figures, they do move around.

:22:24.:22:29.

the statement underlines the impact of the recession. Corporation tax

:22:30.:22:34.

is down 98%. Although other tax receipts are holding up. Spending

:22:34.:22:40.

on benefits is up by 6.5%, on the same time last year. Labour says

:22:40.:22:45.

George Osborne is to blame, by pursuing policies which have

:22:45.:22:47.

prevented the economy from recovering so adding to the

:22:47.:22:53.

borrowing problem. The figures are very bleak, it shows the deficit is

:22:53.:22:58.

rising because of the Government's economic plan failing, and it is

:22:58.:23:01.

the worst figures for August on record. This is not what the

:23:01.:23:07.

Chancellor promised. One of the Treasury's target is reducing debt

:23:07.:23:13.

by the financial year it into 1015. It has peaked at 76.3% of national

:23:13.:23:18.

income and then falling in 2015. But achieving that is looking

:23:18.:23:23.

harder. You may have thought dropping their debt target may have

:23:23.:23:27.

gone down well in the city. But the Bank of England has given its

:23:27.:23:30.

blessing to the idea. The Governor said it would be acceptable for the

:23:30.:23:34.

Chancellor to push back on the target if growth does not

:23:34.:23:38.

materialise as expected, because of factors beyond his control. The

:23:38.:23:42.

City view is veering towards giving Mr Osborne the benefit of the doubt

:23:42.:23:47.

if the plans are changed. There is an inevitability, the markets

:23:47.:23:51.

understand that. They will give the Chancellor some leeway, but if the

:23:52.:23:55.

fiscal position does not improve over next couple of years,

:23:55.:24:00.

investors will be running out of patience. So the Chancellor has to

:24:00.:24:03.

tread carefully as he works out how much she can afford on the nation's

:24:03.:24:08.

credit card, and how quickly he needs to bring down the debt.

Birmingham Airport has re-opened after flights were suspended for a

:24:10.:24:13.

time this afternoon, when a plane skidded onto the grass. It's

:24:13.:24:16.

thought the Monarch flight taxied off the tarmac on the way to the

:24:16.:24:19.

terminal. Passengers are being warned that there will be some

:24:19.:24:23.

delays this evening. Now, they only took up the sport 12

:24:23.:24:26.

years ago, some learning how to play in refugee camps. Today the

:24:26.:24:29.

Afghan cricket team took on England - who were defending their World

:24:29.:24:33.

Twenty20 title. England came away with a convincing victory with Luke

:24:33.:24:43.

Wright scoring 99 not out. From Sri Lanka, Joe Wilson reports.

:24:43.:24:48.

And in the hotel, we found that travelling Afghanistan fan club.

:24:48.:24:52.

Small in number, big in belief and the team is competing against the

:24:52.:24:56.

best in the world. A decade ago cricket was barely played in the

:24:56.:25:01.

country. The cricketers you see other country's only full-time

:25:01.:25:04.

cricketers. So they have made a huge in person, according to the

youngsters in a Kabul street playing cricket. The sport has

:25:18.:25:22.

taken the guns out of the kids and put bats in their hands.

:25:22.:25:27.

Afghanistan came into this with one overriding ambition - to cause an

:25:27.:25:31.

upset the world would notice. In short, to beat a really big team.

:25:31.:25:37.

So, charging in to bowl at England, what an opportunity. One wicket

:25:37.:25:42.

down, zero on the board. That is what they had come to seek a stock

the idea of Twenty20 is getting the ball to the boundary, frequently.

:25:48.:25:53.

Look right is an expert. Alex sales is a newcomer. He started

connecting and made 31. But Luke Wright was heading into another

dimension. This kind of thing is simply no fun when you are a bowler.

:26:03.:26:09.

On the ball is flying you need your field as sharp. Afghanistan are not

used to playing under floodlights, but can you forgive this? When they

:26:13.:26:19.

batted, they tried the big shops from the start. It is a learning

curve at being outclassed by England and it was an unpleasant

:26:24.:26:28.

part of their cricket education. Let's take a look at the weekend

:26:28.:26:38.

You don't often get a guarantee from a weatherman, but you will get

:26:38.:26:43.

some sunshine tomorrow. But it does start going downhill during Sunday.

:26:43.:26:48.

Heavy rain moving in and that could cause some problems Sunday night

:26:48.:26:52.

and into Monday. Across eastern parts and the Midlands, rain will

:26:52.:27:00.

clear away. One or two showers lingering on. Temperatures drop,

:27:00.:27:05.

into single figures in towns and cities. In more rural spots there

:27:05.:27:12.

will be a frost in the Midlands, Wales. We have a lovely bright

:27:12.:27:19.

start to Saturday, crisp and blue skies every work. It will be chilly

:27:19.:27:24.

across Scotland. Temperatures around 11, 12 degrees in most

:27:24.:27:30.

places. The winds are lighter. The sun is relatively still strong.

:27:30.:27:33.

Across Northern Ireland, Northern England into the Midlands and Wales,

:27:33.:27:38.

I think you will keep bright, blue skies into the afternoon. Patchy

:27:38.:27:43.

cloud across eastern areas and more of a breeze across the south-west.

:27:43.:27:47.

That will be noticeable in Devon and Cornwall. The cloud will

:27:47.:27:53.

thicken ahead of Sunday's rain. We have been talking about this low

:27:53.:27:56.

pressure, and a degree of uncertainty on how far north it

:27:56.:28:01.

will come across the UK. There is still an element of uncertainty,

:28:01.:28:06.

but there is a risk of heavy rain across southern parts of England

:28:06.:28:12.

particularly on Sunday. But it could work its way to East Anglia

:28:12.:28:18.

as the day goes on. That marks the start of an unsettled spell of

:28:18.:28:26.

weather into the early part of next A reminder of tonight's main news:
