The manhunt for a missing terror suspect who went on the run dressed | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
in a burka. Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed went into a London mosque dressed | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
like this, and walked out looking like this, giving his minders the | :00:15. | :00:23. | |
slip. The police have urged anyone who sees Mohammed or knows of his | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
whereabouts not to approach him. This Home Secretary has made it | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
easier for serious terror suspects to disappear. That is irresponsible. | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
We will be looking at the system for keeping terror suspects under | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
surveillance. Also tonight: The prosecution in the hacking trial | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
says Rebekah Brooks tried to hide evidence. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
It was discovered by a cleaner. Job cuts and branch closures at the | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
Co-op - it's part of a rescue plan that will not cost the taxpayer a | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
penny. The great works of art looted by the | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
Nazis, discovered in a dingy flat in Munich. They are worth hundreds of | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
millions of pounds. And coming up in the sport on BBC | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
News, FIFA's chief medical officer at his voice of criticism for | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
allowing Hugo Lloris to play on after he was knocked unconscious in | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
yesterday's match with Everton. Good evening and welcome to the BBC | :01:17. | :01:36. | |
News at Six. A manhunt is still underway tonight for a terror | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
suspect who disappeared on Friday. 27-year-old Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
was last seen leaving a London mosque disguised in a burka. He was | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
under a terror prevention notice, which should mean he was tagged at | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
the time. He is thought to be linked to the Somali terror group | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
responsible for the Kenyan shopping mall attack earlier this year. | :01:56. | :02:07. | |
Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed, not convicted of any offence in the UK, | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
but said to be a security threat. This is how he arrived for Friday | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
prayers at his local mosque. And this is how he was dressed when he | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
left, caught on CCTV in a burka. He was allowed to regularly attend the | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
mosque in Acton in West London. Although like other terrorism | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
suspects who are subject to what is known as the TPIM regime, there were | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
restrictions on his movements. When he came here on Friday, he should | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
have been wearing an electronic tag as normal. It is fitted with a GPS | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
tracking device and is the size of a mobile phone. At some stage, it was | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
deactivated. So what do we know about 27-year-old Mohammed Ahmed | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
Mohamed, who is now a British citizen? He was born in Somalia, and | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
in Somalia, he is said to have trained and fought with the | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
terrorist organisation Al-Shabab, which is based there. In the UK, it | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
is claimed that he is part of a network involved in funding | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
terrorism in Somalia. In the Commons, the Home Secretary was up | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
against a Labour front bench which has always denounced the TP I am -- | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
the TPIM regime as too soft. The police have confirmed that they do | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
not believe this man poses a direct threat to the UK. The reason he was | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
put on a TPIM in the first phase was to prevent his travel to support | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
terrorism overseas. This is the second man in ten months subject to | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
a TPIM who has now absconded. There were only ten of them to start | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
with, and two have now gone, one in a black cab, one in disguise. The | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
terror suspect who went off in a taxi is Ibrahim Magag. He | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
disappeared last Boxing Day and has still not been found. Like the | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
latest fugitive, he is said to have links to Al-Shabab. He is also of | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
Somali origin. The pair are said to be part of a network which has | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
supported terrorism in Somalia not just with money, but through access | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
to documents including false passport as well. Mohammed Ahmed | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
Mohamed is not the first male terrorist suspect to use the burka | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
disguise. Ports and borders are on alert, but more than 72 hours on, he | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
is still on the run. Our deputy blues tickle editor is at | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
Westminster. -- our Deputy political editor. How embarrassing is this for | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
the government? It is clearly embarrassing. As the Home Secretary | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
said, it is the first duty of any government to keep the public safe, | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
and the man involved with Islamist terrorism is walking the streets of | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
Britain ma presumably no longer in his burka. The question is whether | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
it was an operational failure or systemic one. The Conservatives say | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
it was an operational issue, Labour say there is a systemic pub here. | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
TPIMs are not strong enough in their view. They are asking why the police | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
do not have the power to relocate these people away from their support | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
networks. The government says TPIMs are supported by the courts, and the | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
security services have been given a lot more money to spend on this | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
surveillance. This incident has reopened a debate that the | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
government thought it had put to bed, namely, how to deal with terror | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
suspect that you can't lock up or throw out of the country? That is a | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
debate that could be a headache for the coalition, because it is an | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
issue on which the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats tend to have | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
opposing views. At the phone hacking trial, the | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
barrister representing David Cameron's former communications | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
chief, Andy Coulson, has denied that Mr Coulson was involved in a | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
conspiracy to access voicemails. His statement came after the prosecution | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
allege that the former News International boss, Rebekah Brooks, | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
her husband and staff tried to hide evidence which was eventually | :05:57. | :06:08. | |
discovered by cleaners. Something went badly wrong on Andy | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
Coulson's watch. That was what his barrister told the jury today, but | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
he was not guilty. In fact, making a red offence opening statement, | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
Timothy Langdale QC said Mr Coulson's own voice mail had been | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
illegally accessed, and he was never part of an agreement to hack phones, | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
no matter what others were doing on his watch. On the prosecution's | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
claims, he said, their interpretations and conclusions are | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
wrong. Rebekah Brooks was the subject of much of the day's | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
hearing, along with, for the first time, her husband and co-defendant | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
Charlie. They are accused of perverting the course of justice | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
during the turmoil following the closure of the News Of The World in | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
2011. Staying with friends near their home in Oxfordshire, the | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
prosecution says Rebekah Brooks was expecting to be arrested and made | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
arrangements to hide evidence. A security team codenamed operation by | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
Cork was protecting her. At 9am, the court heard that the couple left for | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
London. The journey ended at Lewisham police station, where | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
Rebekah Brooks was arrested. Charlie went on to Chelsea. When he got | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
there, he came out later and at 1215 PM entered a nearby underground car | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
park. The Crown says CCTV shows him hiding a laptop and a jiffy bag near | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
some bins, where police would not find them. Two hours later, News | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
International security manager Mark Hanna appeared to pick them up and | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
take them away. At 9:30pm that evening, the prosecution says they | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
were brought back again and hidden by another member of the security | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
team are tending to deliver some pizzas. Next, he is alleged to have | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
sent a text to a colleague. There was laughter in court at this | :07:48. | :07:59. | |
reference to the film, where Eagles Dare. At the court heard this was a | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
complicated and risky plan that went wrong, because the next day, a | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
cleaner found the computer and bag behind the bins and handed it in to | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
the police. They began an investigation into an alleged | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
cover-up. Which it is claimed also included Rebekah Brooks' assistant, | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
Cheryl Carter, removing the orcs from a company archive and the | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
prosecution says, the former executive's attempt to ensure the | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
e-mails from her days as an editor were deleted. She and all her | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
co-defendants have pleaded not guilty. | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
The Co-op Bank is to close 50 branches with what it is calling | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
significant job losses as part of a rescue plan. It follows the | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
discovery of a ?1.5 billion hole in its balance sheet. The deal to save | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
the Co-op won't be costing the taxpayer a penny. Our business | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
editor Robert Peston has been talking with the bank's boss. | :08:47. | :08:56. | |
The Co-op, claiming to do things more ethically. At when it comes to | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
it act, being moral has not meant being any good at business, because | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
today, the Co-op Group confirmed that the bank is worth a big fat | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
zero. And to save the bank, Co-op Group is investing ?462 million into | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
it and will emerge with a stake of just 30%, where is the deal will | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
give hedge funds and other investors 70% of the bank. Many of your 4.7 | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
million customers back with you because they think you are different | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
from the others. They think of you as being more ethical. Can they be | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
persuaded that Co-op Bank will remain that way, when 70% of the | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
shares will be owned by mainstream investors, hedge funds, normal | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
shareholders? Actually, the ethics are even more embedded into the bank | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
today. For the first time, we have embedded it into the banking | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
constitution. That means the directors of the bank have to | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
deliver the overseas of the bank in line with our ethics and values. But | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
Co-op Bank customers in Manchester are anxious. I am very disappointed | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
that hedge funds have taken it over. I think a lot of people will leave. | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
Very disappointed at the fact that the Co-operative Bank, a mutually | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
owned society, has been taken over by a bunch of, well, privateers. I | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
joined the Co-op because they were an ethical bank and did not invest | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
in countries and companies that were against the environment, oppressing | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
their people and things like that. I hope the ethos will remain the same. | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
Co-op insists that the hedge funds know it would be bad for business if | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
the Co-op were to become just another bank. But there are also | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
worries for the bank's 7500 employees, hundreds of whom will | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
lose their jobs as Co-op tries to cut costs by shutting 50 branches. | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
There has been a lot of support for more mutuals and a more diverse | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
banking system, and now it appears that the Co-op is no better than any | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
of the others and seems to have had some unique problem is that, due to | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
its own internal structures, it has not been able to solve. Do you think | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
your predecessors at the bank should publicly say sorry for this mess? I | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
have said sorry and I will say sorry again now, because I take | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
responsibility for this. But I have only been part of the bank for the | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
last six month 's. It is up to them what they do. In my view, the bank | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
had lost its way. That Co-op corporate video again, claiming to | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
be responsible in finance. Well, responsible for the biggest mess | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
since the 2008 crash. French police have released a sketch | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
of a motorcyclist they want to speak to in connection with the murder of | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
a dish Iraqi family in France last year. The man was last seen near to | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
where Saad al-Hilli and his family were shot on a remote forest road | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
near Lake Annecy. The cost of building two new aircraft carriers | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
for the Royal Navy has nearly doubled from the original estimate. | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
The Ministry of Defence is expected to confirm this week that the budget | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
for the two ships has gone up to more than ?6 billion. In 2007, the | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
estimated price tag was 3.5 alien pounds. The MoD says it is | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
renegotiating the contract with industry to avoid further | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
significant rises. Egypt's ousted leader Mohammed Morsi | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
has gone on trial in Cairo, charged with inciting the killing of | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
protesters during demonstrations against his rule last December. In | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
his first public appearance since he was deposed in a military coup in | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
July, he told the judge that he is still the country's president. | :12:55. | :13:03. | |
A relaxed arrival at court for Mohammed Morsi. The ousted Islamist | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
or a smart -- wore a smart navy blazer. Egyptian state media said he | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
refused to put on a prison uniform. Inside, he joined his co-accused in | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
a cage. In the same courtroom where his predecessor, hospitable barrack, | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
has been tried. Egypt's first democratic elected president, now | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
behind bars, but still defiant. I am president of the Republic, he | :13:33. | :13:33. | |
shouted. Chaos erupted several times, with | :13:34. | :13:46. | |
shouting matches between Mohammed Morsi's supporters and opponents. | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
The judge called in vain for quiet. State TV released the footage | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
without sound. Security for this hearing was incredibly tight. It was | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
therefore layers deep. But what we witnessed inside the courtroom was a | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
deposed president who was determined to have his say. Mohammed Morsi | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
spoke out repeatedly, shouting at the judge, even when his voice | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
became hoarse. Throughout the hearing, he and his fellow accused | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
kept repeating that they did not recognise the court. It was a very | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
different picture last June, when Mohammed Morsi was triumphant at the | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
ballot box. 12 months on, massive protest at his alleged misrule. The | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
army ousted him, saying it was the will of the people. The authorities | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
deny his trial is politically motivated. The system in Egypt is | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
independent. President Mubarak has been under trial and was given the | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
right to defend himself. The same goes to President Morsi and anyone. | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
No one is above the law. Supporters of Mohammed Morsi were met with tear | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
gas on the streets today, but his Muslim Brotherhood could not deliver | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
the mass protest it promised. The organisation is now banned and human | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
rights campaigners say the former president is at the mercy of | :15:14. | :15:25. | |
selective justice. Our top story this evening: | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
Detectives are searching for a terror suspect who was last seen | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
leaving a London Mosque disguised in a burka. And still to come: Looted | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
by the Nazis, stored in a flat in Munich, priceless artwork discovered | :15:47. | :15:54. | |
in Germany. Coming up in Sportsday: The opening match of the men's | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
singles at the ATP world tour finals at London's O2 arena. | :15:59. | :16:13. | |
Now there's a new BBC investigation into those who simply disappeared | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
without trace. At least 15 people were murdered and buried in secret | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
graves by the IRA during the Troubles. Some of their bodies have | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
never been found, as our Ireland Correspondent Chris Buckler reports. | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
They are still searching for some of the bodies of the disappeared, | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
people up that did, murdered and buried in unmarked graves during the | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
worst years of Northern Ireland's Troubles. It was a punishment used | :16:43. | :16:52. | |
by the IRA against people accused of giving information to the security | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
forces. But somewhere taken from their families simply because they | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Went you think you will see | :17:00. | :17:09. | |
your mum again? I do not know. Jane McConville's children watched as | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
their mother was taken away from their home, never to return. It has | :17:13. | :17:22. | |
scarred our whole lives. There is not a day that goes through my life | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
when I do not think of it. Three decades after she went missing, Jane | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
McConville's body was found on a beach. But questions remain about | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
her death. A new BBC documentary includes an interview with former | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
IRA commander Brendan Hughes which was recorded before his death. In | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
it, he accuses Sinn Fein president Gerry at -- Gerry Adams of | :17:49. | :17:57. | |
involvement in her murder. There is only one man who gave the order for | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
that woman to be executed. That man is now the head of Sinn Fein. I have | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
no act or part to play in the deduction or killing of Jane | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
McConville or anyone else. Brendan is telling lies. There are now seven | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
families hoping and praying that one day they will be able to bury their | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
loved ones. Columba McVeigh's body is thought to be amongst acres | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
bogland. I have an image in my head of Columbus standing there crying | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
looking into a hole. Dark secrets and years of violence remain hidden | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
across Ireland, the pain is still so close to the surface. | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
The leader of the country's biggest business organisation has warned | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
politicians not to treat business like "the enemy" and warned them | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
that "'careless words cost jobs". The President of the CBI told the | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
BBC that he feared that all the political parties are putting what's | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
popular before what's good for the country. Here's our Political Editor | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
Nick Robinson. Are these men and women the enemy? | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
The people to be blamed for high prices, low wages and the squeeze on | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
living standards, that is how they feel, according to the leader of | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
Britain's August business organisation which held its annual | :19:26. | :19:35. | |
conference today. It is very important that politicians across | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
the board are careful in the words they use, the policies they | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
espouse, because sometimes this can lead to prejudicing investment and | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
careless words can cost jobs. The business leaders may look pretty | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
relaxed but in truth they are worried, worried that politicians | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
are putting what is pot luck in the short-term head off what is right | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
for the country in the long-term -- ahead of what is right. Today, a | :20:00. | :20:07. | |
report suggested leaving the EU could cost every household in | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
Britain ?3000 a year. A Tory promise of a referendum is one thing | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
worrying bit business. Labour's promise of a price freeze is also | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
worrying as well as a curb on immigration. And doubts about | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
building HS2 and expanding Britain's airports. There is | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
uncertainty on the EU which is impacting investment. There is | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
further settlement over energy and simplistic sound bites over price | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
control and windfall taxes do not address the issue. Evidence of the | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
heat some business leaders were feeling when the head of the company | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
which owns British Gas was asked whether he would take his bonus this | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
year. I have already decided. You have decided to turn it down, what | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
about the rest of the board? Let's leave it there. Labour's Ed Balls | :21:05. | :21:13. | |
came to the CBI to try and seize them, insisting he wanted to work | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
with business to restore trust. At a time when living standards are | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
falling, when people feel they have a raw deal, we cannot bury our heads | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
in the sand. Business and government have got to work together to show it | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
can work for all people. The Prime Minister said he was looking to cut | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
the cost of high-speed rail but how does he react to the CBI's warning | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
today to stop playing politics? On Europe, no one is playing a game. | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
This is one of the most important questions facing our country. The | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
argument I am making is a long-term strategic choice for Britain. No one | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
here dead to tell politicians to mind their rent business, but the | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
message is clear, beware those who are in search of your vote. | :22:07. | :22:14. | |
Tottenham have defended their decision to allow goal keeper Hugo | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
Lloris back on the pitch after he lost consciousness, despite | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
criticism from FIFA and the football players' union. FIFA's chief medical | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
officer said Lloris should have been substituted after his head hit | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
another player's knee. Spurs have confirmed that Lloris was given the | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
all clear yesterday after a precautionary CT scan. | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
It was one the summer's biggest political rows, allegations that the | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
Unite union had rigged the selection of a Labour candidate in Falkirk. A | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
subsequent inquiry was dropped after the party said witnesses withdrew | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
evidence. But today, there's new pressure for the case to be | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
re-opened. Our Scotland correspondent James Cook is in | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
Falkirk for us now. What has come to light today? Perhaps to explain how | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
we got there might help as well. This all began a year ago with Unite | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
accused of trying to influence the selection of Labour's candidate for | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
the constituency here. It was accused of essentially dirty tricks | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
by signing up members to the Labour Party on the basis they would vote | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
for its preferred candidate and paying their membership fees in | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
contravention of Labour Party rules. What has happened since then is | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
Labour have held an enquiry, cleared Unite, but I have spoken to one of | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
the witnesses who said he did not change his statement. That is | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
important because Labour said they dropped that enquiry because key | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
evidence had been withdrawn. That begs the question, why did they | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
clear Unite in that enquiry and there are plenty of people here in | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
Falkirk who think Labour should publish the full enquiry so people | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
can understand what happened. The former Labour Chancellor Alistair | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
Darling also want action. He thinks there might have to be new | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
investigation and the police are thinking of holding an enquiry as | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
well. A new headache for Ed Miliband. | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
They are known as the Modern Masters, but their art was labelled | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
"degenerate" by the Nazi's and banned in the 1930s. Thousands of | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
paintings were confiscated, many never to be seen again. But, in one | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
of the largest hauls of its kind, 1,500 of these paintings, including | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
works by Picasso and Matisse, have been discovered in a small apartment | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
in Munich. Investigators in Germany think the art could be worth nearly | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
?850 million. Officials are now trying to trace the rightful owners, | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
as our arts editor Will Gompertz reports. | :24:41. | :24:51. | |
This is a small flat in Munich in which hundreds of millions of pounds | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
of art was discovered amongst shoe polish and soup cans. Artworks by | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
Picasso and McNeese were kept there by the son of a German art dealer | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
who said they were destroyed but I now safely in this warehouse. They | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
are thought to have been looted by the Nazis from Jewish homes in the | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
1930s and 40s and represent only a fraction of the 16,000 pieces they | :25:18. | :25:25. | |
plundered. We know from the cases we are trying to find that 90% are | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
still missing. That is true for virtually everybody in this field, | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
despite expert researchers who do the most painstaking research to try | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
to trace these. These works are missing. But when I say missing, | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
some of them are in collections like this, and some are museums which | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
have not published what they have. The German authorities have not | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
revealed which paintings in the trove, but this painting is an | :25:54. | :26:01. | |
example of what Hitler and the Nazis considered degenerate art, | :26:02. | :26:03. | |
distinctly modern in style and content. There was some art he | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
disapproved of which he wished to remove, that would be the art with a | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
Jewish content and so on. But they were also quite canny in keeping a | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
lot of the very good art and it seemed they intended to split that | :26:20. | :26:28. | |
up into collections. This elegant modern painting is by a German | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
Jewish artist who emigrated to London in 1973. He left several of | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
his art works back in Germany. At least one piece was included in | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
Hitler's degenerate art show in 1937. The Nazis gathered art and | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
presented them for public ridicule. While these early 20th-century | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
paintings by Jewish artists are on display in London, there has been | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
criticism of the German authorities to not do enough to find work hidden | :27:00. | :27:08. | |
by the Nazis. Now it is time for the weather. | :27:09. | :27:15. | |
It has been a crisp autumn day. Temperatures are dropping quickly. | :27:16. | :27:23. | |
It is generally dry for a few hours. Cloud is thickening up across | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
south-west England and Wales. Outbreaks will move across here as | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
the night wears on. The rain will move across Northern Ireland and | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
Scotland as well. The temperature will pick up as the night wears on. | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
It will get into double figures in the south-west. A widespread frost, | :27:41. | :27:47. | |
down 2-5 in some of the Scottish blends. This means tomorrow morning | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
as the rain moves in it will turn readily to snow across the Scottish | :27:53. | :28:02. | |
mountains. Further west, the overnight rain is edging away from | :28:03. | :28:06. | |
Northern Ireland and beginning to clear up through western parts of | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
Wales and Cornwall. For most of England and Wales it is a cloudy and | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
damp start. Decidedly chilly over the Eastern counties of England. It | :28:16. | :28:23. | |
will stay cloudy and damp. Brighter skies developing further west, | :28:24. | :28:29. | |
followed by a scattering of showers. Wintry across the Scottish | :28:30. | :28:34. | |
mountains. A chilly day in the brisk westerly wind. It is good for | :28:35. | :28:42. | |
bonfire night. We will get a blustery wind so fanning the flames | :28:43. | :28:49. | |
of the bonfires. Do take care. A damp day in the South on Wednesday. | :28:50. | :28:54. | |
Heavy rain for a time. Northern areas, a mixture of sunshine and | :28:55. | :29:01. | |
showers. That sets the scene for the rest of the week. | :29:02. | :29:02. | |
Thank | :29:03. | :29:03. |
