Islamist extremists seize another town in Iraq as new evidence | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
emerges of more atrocities. Unverified pictures appear to show | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
ISIS gunmen carrying out a summary execution on an Iraqi soldier. | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
America sends an aircraft carrier to the Gulf and says it will consider | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
working with its age-old enemy, Iran, to combat the growing threat. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Here, the Government says the conflict in the region is the number | :00:25. | :00:35. | |
one security threat facing Britain. Six months after his skiing | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
accident, the former racing champion Michael Schumacher is out of a coma | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
and out of intensive care. A new law makes forcing someone | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
into marriage in England and Wales a criminal offence. | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
The Archbishop of Canterbury joins with the Pope to | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
stop people trafficking, and urges the UK to accept more immigrants. | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
And England back in training for the first time since defeat against | :00:57. | :00:57. | |
Italy, and looking ahead to Uruguay. A Green Party politician demands | :00:58. | :01:09. | |
answers from the Met, and will London cash in as visa rules for the | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
Chinese continues to be relaxed? Good evening and welcome to the | :01:13. | :01:31. | |
BBC News at Six. Tonight the crisis in Iraq has | :01:32. | :01:40. | |
taken another sinister turn. Disturbing new pictures have emerged | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
which again appear to show Islamist extremists from | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
the ISIS group killing on camera. The images can't be independently | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
verified, but they appear to show an Iraqi soldier being subjected to | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
a summary execution. In a move that would have been | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
previously unthinkable, America has signalled it might be willing | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
to work with its old foe, Iran, on confronting the new threat, which | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
grew again today as ISIS took over another town, Tal Afar, | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
after seizing Mosul and Tikrit in recent days. | :02:04. | :02:19. | |
ISIS is continuing its reign of terror in northern Iraq. It has | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
already boasted of executing hundreds of Iraqi troops. These | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
latest images appear to show more being interrogated after their | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
capture. One is told to state that ISIS is in control. We can't | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
independently verify the pictures, nor can we show the images that | :02:38. | :02:46. | |
follow when he refuses and is shot. The Iraqi military say they are now | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
taking the fight to ISIS. Today the Ministry of Defence released more | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
video of ago, on enemy positions. They deny they are losing, even | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
though ISIS has captured another town in the north. There's been a | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
lot of false information about the number of soldiers and volunteers | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
killed by ISIS. He says. These reports have been denied by military | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
command and I am denying them too. In Baghdad, Shia militia are still | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
responding to their religious leader's call to arms. They want | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
revenge on the Sunni extremists. Tensions were already high in parts | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
of the city. We filmed the barriers that have separated the Sunni | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
community since the fall of Saddam Hussein, the military watch towers | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
to check whos in and leaves. Life in Baghdad is getting harder. Prices | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
for some items have already tripled. One of the ironies of the current | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
crisis is though Iraq is a country rich in oil and gas, queues are | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
forming for propane gas. Some of the people here have been waiting for | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
ten hours to fill their propane canisters in the blazing sun. This | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
old woman complained about the wait and the rising price us. Some in the | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
queue blamed ISIS, but one man told me it was the Government that's | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
failed. The gas station manager tried to stop us filming but | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
suddenly changed his mind when fresh deliveries arrived. Help may have | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
arrived in the shape of a US carrier loaded with warplanes now positioned | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
in the Gulf. Tonight it was joined by another American warship. The US | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
embassy in Baghdad has been reinforced. It points to the US | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
edging towards a decision. When you have people murdering, | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
assassinating, in these mass massacres you have to stop that and | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
you need to do what you need to do, from the air or otherwise. These | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
discarded Iraqi uniforms tell us of a Government not prepared for the | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
threat from ISIS. a Government not prepared for the | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
Iraq can't defeat ISIS on its own. We can talk now to Nick Robinson at | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
Iraq can't defeat ISIS on its own. Westminster and Nick Bryant in | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
Washington. A America is considering working with Iran Iran to combat the | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
threat from Iraq, this would have been inconceivable until recently? | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
You are right, Fiona. For America to consider acting with Iran militarily | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
is not (Inaudible) it is the coalition of the the unthinkable. | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
But John Kerry, the US Secretary of State, offered heavy qualifiers to | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
his remarks. He said this was a step by step process. It would begin with | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
talks with Iran, possibly, probably on the sidelines of the nuclear | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
talks that are going on in Vienna at this time. I think what America | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
wants from Iran right now isn't military co-operation, but political | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
co-operation. It wants it to exert its influence on the Government of | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
Prime Minister Maliki, to have an inclusive Iraqi Government not | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
dominated by the Shi'ite population but includes the Sunnis and Kurds as | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
well. That's what America is looking for and it is making that, political | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
reform in Baghdad, a precondition of any military action it will take. | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
Nick Robinson in Westminster, the Foreign Secretary, William Hague, | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
saying he believed there could be as many as 400 people linked to the UK | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
fighting in Iraq and Syria now. This is the highest number we've had so | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
far. How worried is he about this? They are worried enough because they | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
are trying to answer the question that is being asked I suspect in | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
many homes up and down the country. This looks bad in Iraq, but what an | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
earth has it got to do with us? Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister, | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
said it was the number one security concern. Ministers were ard of at | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
the moment. He said that was because there was a direct threat to British | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
citizens coming from those 400 fighters in Syria, in Iraq, who | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
might come home with the same ideology, with the same hatred, with | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
the same tactics. The British Government made clear today there | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
will not be boots on the ground or any military involvement. But Nick | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
Clegg made he and the Liberal Democrats, the coalition as a whole, | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
wouldn't get in America's way for what he called properly targeted | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
action. One last sign of the rapid change brought about, Britain, too, | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
is going to change its diplomatic stand to Iran. We are expecting a | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
statement from the Foreign Secretary tomorrow for the beginning of the | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
restoration of the process of having links between London and Tehran. | :07:33. | :07:41. | |
Thank you. The seven times Formula One champion | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
Michael Schumacher is out of a coma and out of the intensive care unit | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
where he's been treated since suffering severe head injuries last | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
December. He's now been moved to a hospital in Switzerland near his | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
home. Michael Schumacher, as relaxed and | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
comfortable on skis as he often appeared behind the wheel. But in | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
Meribel in December at a much slower speed he crashed into a rock. For | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
six months he's battled massive brain injuries at this hospital in | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
Grenoble. Twice they operated. Today more positive news from the driver's | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
manager. Michael has left Grenoble, she said, to continue his long phase | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
of rehabilitation. He is not in a coma any more. | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
And amid thanks to doctors, she mentioned the first responders who | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
saved his life. This year I skied the area between the two pistes | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
where Michael Schumacher had fallen. It is not steep but there are | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
(Inaudible) and in December only a thin covering of snow. On impact the | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
helmet shattered. He was bleeding profusely. Help arrived just four | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
minutes later but he was already in trouble. Even as the helicopter was | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
flying down the valley, Michael Schumacher was unconscious. In | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
Grenoble a surgical team was on standby. They knew that with every | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
passing minute the pleading in the Britain and the pressure inside the | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
skull could make a bad situation even worse. It is not clear just how | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
far Michael Schumacher has come since January, but neurosurgeons say | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
even in the most severe cases they treat, recovery can be remarkable. | :09:26. | :09:34. | |
One connection because there is a lesion there, sometimes you can use | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
a narrow circuit to do the same thing, even the circuit which was | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
initially not for doing. This You retrain the brain? Yes. But that is | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
a long process? Absolutely. The optimism that Ferrari and everyone | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
connected to Formula One will want to share. He is a very nice person | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
and now with the news he's been moved to another hospital, we just | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
have to hope that it is all for the best. The new hospital is in | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
Lausanne, closer to his wife, who can visit more easily. It could be | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
months or possibly years of treatment still ahead. | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
From today forcing someone to marry becomes a criminal offence in | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
England and Wales. Anyone found guilty could face a jail term of up | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
to seven years. The law also applies to people who send people abroad to | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
get married against their will. Around 8,000 young people in Britain | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
are coerced into marriages each year by their families. It has been | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
called an appalling abuse of human rights. Every year thousands of | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
women, men and children from different cultures are forced to | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
marry, often pressured by their families into a life of submission, | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
seems violence. This woman whose identity we've protected for legal | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
reasons was promised to a man she had never met when she was 12 and | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
married at 16. Not wanting to shame her family, she stayed in an unhappy | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
relationship for 14 years. I stopped dreaming at the age of 12. My life | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
was all planned and sorted. relationship for 14 years. I stopped | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
dreaming at I believed my parents knew what was best for me. No human | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
being should be put in a situation where another, where their lifer is | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
at risk or somebody else is rule their life. It's your life. | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
Currently those who are threatened with forced marriage can seek | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
protection orders from the civil courts. They'll still be able to do | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
that, but from today in England and Wales, breaching these orders will | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
be a criminal offence, with a maximum five-year sentence. There's | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
also a new crime of forcing someone to marry against their will, which | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
carries a jail term of up to seven years. At this refuge for young | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
mothers fleeing forced marriage it is hoped it will help them | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
understand that they are victims. A lot of them feel as though they've | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
let society down, their culture down, that they've got no respect | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
for themselves. A lot of them feel as though they have done wrong. The | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
Government's forced marriage team helped shape the law, which gives | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
police the power to trace those who take victims abroad. This unit dealt | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
with 1,300 cases of possible forced marriage last year in the UK and | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
overseas. Here it is hoped the new criminal law will act as a deterrent | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
to perpetrators. But there are some with concerns. Some charities say it | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
could stop victims coming forward. A lot of work needs to be done making | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
it clear that civil remedies are available. My worry if is if they | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
think at crime, they might be too scared to tell parents or relatives. | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
Some believe education, not the law, is key. But those who backed the | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
legislation say it is another tool to help future generations speak out | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
against what is now a crime. The Scottish Government has laid out | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
how a new constitution will be set up in the event of a "yes" vote in | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
the independence referendum in assessment the Deputy First | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
Minister, Sturgeon surges said if Scotland -- Nicola Sturgeon, said if | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
Scotland left the UK it would be nuclear-free. An independent | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
Scotland would break with a much-revered British tradition of an | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
unwritten constitution and like the United States and republican France | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
build its new state on a codified single doubt. Most countries have a | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
constitution. Scotland, is SNP says, will include | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
a constitutional ban on nuclear weapons, requiring a move of the | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
submarines from the Clyde. A written constitution provides certainty and | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
security for the citizens of any state. It defines and constrains | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
organs of the state. It describes where powers lie and how those who | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
wield powers are chosen and scrutinised. As is well no-one, that | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
is not always clear in the UK. Much of this has popular appeal, so the | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
leaders of the three pro-union parties in you knighted front today | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
have to respond. For the opinion polls which have given them a clear | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
lead for weeks show the yes campaign closing the gap again. The challenge | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
for Better Together is to stop the traditional flow of Labour voters | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
crossing to the pro-independence camp. That's why it is a risk for | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
the Labour leader in Scotland to share a platform with the | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
Conservative Party, which remains deeply unpopular here. All three now | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
say they'll strengthen the powers of the Scottish Parliament after the | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
next UK general election. For Scottish Labour standing shoulder to | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
shoulder with the Conservatives nodding in agreement is a risk worth | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
taking. The choice isn't between Scotland and the Tories or Scotland | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
and England. That's a hugely important debate about Scotland's | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
future, so I won't stand asides from those who greed with me and pretend | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
we don't agreement we can agree those who greed with me and pretend | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
build a consensus. The pro-union parties say they'll bring the change | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
Scotland wants. The SNP say only a written constitution in an | :15:17. | :15:17. | |
independent state can guarantee it. Our top | :15:18. | :15:28. | |
town in Iraq as more video emerges which appears to show ISIS gunmen | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
mistreating captured soldiers. And still to come. | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
Kate and Gerry McCann talk of their frustration over a libel case in | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
Portugal. Could property prices in parts of | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
the capital have reached their peak? And, the champion racehorse that | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
a cooling in the housing market. And, the champion racehorse that | :15:49. | :15:58. | |
More than five years tonight. | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
More than five years after the banking crisis sent the UK | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
economy and the pound tumbling in value, there are signs sterling | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
is slowly clawing its way back. Today, it hit a level not seen | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
since the height of the banking crisis, with the pound worth $1.70 | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
on the currency-exchange markets. But although that can be an | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
indicator of a healthier economy, it's not always helpful for | :16:21. | :16:21. | |
businesses trying to sell abroad. The last time a British pound bought | :16:22. | :16:37. | |
$1.70 was in 2008, when written's banks were almost bust. Stirling | :16:38. | :16:45. | |
plummeted to $1 36 the next January, and since then it has been a long, | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
meandering clime. One reason why it has strengthened its because the | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
Canadian who works here, the governor of the Bank of England, has | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
said the interest rates may rise fairly soon, and one of those credit | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
rating agencies, which became notorious during the crisis, has | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
said the UK's triple-A rating is not in danger of being taken away. All | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
of which means, if you are looking for a bit of return in a safe place, | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
the UK looks a pretty good bet. We have seen a lot of positive economic | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
data from the UK, unemployment has dropped, employment -- production | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
has boosted, and investors want to get in on the act. Opening the door | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
to foreigners in the UK's great tourist destinations has tended to | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
require a weak pound sterling. You can see the water is coming directly | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
out of the ground. This is from deep down in the earth? Three kilometres. | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
Is this owner of an historic spa sweating? Where the risks lie that | :17:56. | :18:07. | |
because of the strength of the ? UK residents may take their holidays | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
overseas, and overseas residents may be put off coming to the UK, because | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
their currency may not be able to buy quite as much in the future. But | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
at this moment, nothing too detrimental. The strengthening of | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
the pound sterling means British exports become pricier, putting the | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
squeeze on exporters, like this engineer of stadiums and other | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
projects. A 10% shift the wrong way for us towards the dollar means we | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
are more expensive in the eyes of our customers, that we are a strong | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
band -- brand, so we are always in demand. We can cope with it to a | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
degree, but you cannot do that forever. All is green, pleasant and | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
growing, but if there is the odd cloud, a further rise in price | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
exporters out of important overseas markets. | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
In Kenya, at least 48 people have been killed in attacks on hotels | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
and a police station near a popular tourist resort. | :19:10. | :19:11. | |
The Islamist militant group al-Shabab, from neighbouring | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
Somalia, have said they carried out the attack on the town of Mpeketoni, | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
just 30 miles from Lamu. This is what remained of the police | :19:17. | :19:32. | |
station, the scene of the first attack. More than 30 men raided, | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
court officers off guard and the gun battle lasted over three hours. The | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
attackers were well armed and organised. While the attack was | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
coming on and keeping the officers busy, another group of gunmen was in | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
town, burning whatever they could find and shooting at people. We | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
understand that gunmen went into people's homes, and they put tests | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
to the mend their about the Conran and the Somali language. This man | :20:05. | :20:14. | |
witnessed the attack. In that conversation, he said, can you say | :20:15. | :20:27. | |
some praise -- prayers? He did. Unfortunately, a motorist was | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
called, he came closer and he was shot. The al-Shabab militants | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
claimed responsibility, they said it is retaliation for killing off | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
radical sheiks in Mombasa. The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
Welby says the Government must be willing to accept immigrants who've | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
been trafficked into the UK, rather than have them deported. | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
He was speaking to BBC News after meeting Pope Francis in the Vatican, | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
when the two men committed their churches to act together against | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
human trafficking and slavery. There is some flash photography in | :20:58. | :21:07. | |
this report. Joining hands in the fight against | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
slavery, a warm personal relationship between the Pope and | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
the Archbishop. It has inspired a daring project they have called the | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
global Freedom network. They want multinationals to eradicate slave | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
labour from their supply chains. Pope Francis said traffic and an | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
slavery were intolerable crimes against human dignity. The Pope said | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
he and the Archbishop had shared their horror of trafficking and were | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
determined to work together to prevent people becoming slaves and | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
to rescue those who were. Pope Francis said it was a scandal that | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
theological differences between the churches had been allowed to | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
obstruct such cooperation in the past. The two churches have spent | :21:53. | :22:00. | |
centuries discussing their religious differences. Now, for the first time | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
since the Reformation, they are uniting to fight what they call a | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
crime against him and a team. They are taking a risk, but they say the | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
alternative is tolerating cruelty and violence of modern slavery. | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
Justin Welby visited the Anglican church in Rome and its multinational | :22:19. | :22:26. | |
congregation. The Roman Catholic and Anglican churches are a powerful | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
force in many of the African and Asian countries where slavery is at | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
its worst. This man was sold into seven years of forced labour in | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
Ghana, working for fishermen for 15 hours of day. Any time I was caught | :22:42. | :22:50. | |
running away, I had to be subject to it to excruciating work. The | :22:51. | :22:58. | |
Archbishop said the UK must be ready to take more immigrants in the cause | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
of combating modern slavery. In the course of tackling slavery and | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
trafficking, we have to draw on our roots in Europe of compassion and we | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
have to be willing to accept people where to send them back put them | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
back into the hands of the traffickers. He | :23:19. | :23:20. | |
back into the hands of the praying with the Pope. He called on | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
people to ensure that what they consumed was free of slave labour, | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
otherwise they would be colluding in terrible suffering. | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
The parents of Madeleine McCann have spoken of their pain | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
and distress after their libel trial against a former Portuguese police | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
chief was suddenly adjourned today. Kate | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
and Gerry McCann had travelled to Lisbon to give statements in court. | :23:42. | :23:43. | |
They're suing Goncalo Amaral for claims made in | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
his book that they hid Madeleine's body after she died in an accident. | :23:47. | :23:55. | |
This was supposed to be their day in court. Madelyn's parents returned to | :23:56. | :24:04. | |
the country where she vanished to tell the judge about the pain they | :24:05. | :24:05. | |
have suffered. They had come back to tell the judge about the pain they | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
Lisbon to describe the impact his controversial book has had on their | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
life. It is a bestseller in Portugal, written by a former police | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
chief who investigated the disappearance of Madeleine McCann | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
seven years ago. The book suggests she died in the family's holiday | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
apartment that night and there was then a faked ab duction to cover up | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
what had happened. Allegations the couple vehemently deny. They are | :24:35. | :24:41. | |
suing the former police chief for libel. But today, at the last | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
moment, he removed his lawyer from the case. We are exasperated that | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
the hearing has been cancelled again. After already spending five | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
years on this, they now face another delay. Today is a blatant and | :24:57. | :25:04. | |
cynical attempt to wear us down. It is our daughter who is suffering. We | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
will keep going. Thank you. Can I just add, we need to make it clear | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
to people, we took on this case because of the pain and distress | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
that he has brought to us and our children, and every time he | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
postpones it like this, it brings us more pain and distress. The couple | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
said they were encouraged that major searches have taken place in Praia | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
da Luz this month and that several suspects are due to be questioned. | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
Meanwhile, they will return to Portugal in July to continue their | :25:41. | :25:41. | |
fight for damages. England's footballers returned to | :25:42. | :25:49. | |
training this afternoon for the first time | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
since their defeat in their opening World Cup match against Italy. | :25:53. | :25:53. | |
The team is back in Rio de Janeiro. It may look like a luxury holiday | :25:54. | :26:06. | |
resort, but here at the training camp, England are working very | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
hard, because after their defeat to Italy, the stakes could not be | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
higher. Lose to you required in Sao Paulo on Thursday, it could been an | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
abrupt end to their adventure. If Italy and Costa Rica then draw, that | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
would be it, but when, they could be on course for qualification. Despite | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
this, there is still a positive feeling around the camp but -- | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
because of the performance against Italy. As Daniel Sturridge explained | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
earlier, the squad are still up date. | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
We take the positives out of the game, we look forward to the next | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
game. I am hungry to play, everybody wants to play and wants to show what | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
they can do. It is a big occasion for us in our careers. Some people | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
will only get one World Cup to play in, you do not want to be going home | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
early from performing well but not getting results. | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
The squad feeling of eight, but an all too familiar dilemma, had to get | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
the best out of their marquee player, Wayne Rooney. The squad | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
trained here at their base earlier today. Wayne Rooney had an | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
interesting game at the weekend, he set up the goal but he looked | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
isolated, and one of the big questions that Roy Hodgson has to | :27:36. | :27:38. | |
deal with is how to deal with him on Thursday. | :27:39. | :27:45. | |
It is glorious for some of us back home. This afternoon, underneath the | :27:46. | :27:55. | |
cloud cover, 14 degrees. In contrast, 25 across the central belt | :27:56. | :28:01. | |
of Scotland. If you want warmth, the chart is turning orange tomorrow for | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
nearly all of us, it will be a warm day. We are not there yet, it is a | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
cloudy evening across eastern England. That will continue for much | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
of the night. It will turn damp for northern Scotland. Otherwise, a | :28:16. | :28:21. | |
nondescript night. No great dramas with the temperatures. It will be a | :28:22. | :28:26. | |
cloudy start across southern and eastern areas, but the sun will | :28:27. | :28:31. | |
break through, turning increasingly bright and sunny across much of | :28:32. | :28:35. | |
southern and central England. A lovely day to come. Blue skies will | :28:36. | :28:41. | |
prevail at a Scot, it will feel very comfortable. That summer races the | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
weather across much of southern England, it is called along the | :28:47. | :28:54. | |
North Sea coast. A Ariz of BC. Cloudier the further north you go, | :28:55. | :28:59. | |
but there will be holes in the cloud. Despite more cloud, Scotland | :29:00. | :29:08. | |
is still quite humid. A few showers breaking out across the borders of | :29:09. | :29:13. | |
Scotland. A little cluster moving down through the spine of England, | :29:14. | :29:17. | |
the odd heavy burst and rumble of thunder on Wednesday morning. | :29:18. | :29:22. | |
Wednesday is different, more cloud, the odd shower, hopefully some | :29:23. | :29:30. | |
brightness. Through the rest of the week, lots of dry weather to come, | :29:31. | :29:31. | |
just the odd shower. A reminder of our main story. | :29:32. | :29:38. | |
Islamist extremists seize another town in Iraq as more video emerges | :29:39. | :29:41. | |
which appears to show ISIS gunmen mistreating captured soldiers. | :29:42. | :29:44. | |
That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me, | :29:45. | :29:47. | |
and on BBC One we now join the BBC's | :29:48. | :29:49. |
