Good evening, and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
A Malaysia Airlines plane carrying nearly 300 people on board is | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
reported to have crashed in Ukraine, near the Russian border. | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
Rv there has been fighting on the Ukraine Russian border since March | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
following the overthrow of the Ukrainian Government. Flight Mh17 | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
took off from Amsterdam this morning, bound for Kuala Lumpur. Its | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
flight path took it over the Donetsk region. It came down near a village | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
called Grabove. There are reports of many dead bodies near the site of | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
the crash. A plume of smoke rising into the sky, in eastern Ukraine | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
this January noofr. Local people here saying it was a plane which has | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
just crashed. There is no confirmation this was the Malaysian | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
airliner which came down with almost 300 people onboard. | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
But eyewitnesses in this region say they have scene burning wreckage and | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
bodies on the ground. Malaysian Airlines put out this | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
message on social media. That it has lost contact with the flight which | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
was en route to Kuala Lumpur. The manufacturer Boeing also said it was | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
investigating. Flight Mh17 which had taken off from | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
Amsterdam is reported to have been cruising at more than 30,000 feet | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
over eastern Ukraine. An area of intense conflict between separatists | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
and the Ukrainian military. The pro-Russian separatists have | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
controlled parts of eastern Ukraine for several months now. And have | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
shot down military planes and helicopters in the past. | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
They are known to have short range anti-aircraft missilings and | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
according to some reports have been seen with qlefr weapons. We are | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
talking about something significant indeed. There is already, they have | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
used tankings and they don't find them lie Tong street. They have | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
supplies of sophisticated weapons. It would be damaging for them and | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
the Russian case if they have the sort of weapons that shoot down | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
civilian aircraft, but even more damaging, if it turns out that the | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
missile, if there was a missile, came from the Russian side of the | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
border. These unverified photographs | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
apparently show some of the wreckage of the Malaysian plane. The | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
separatists deny they shot it down, blaming instead the Ukrainian | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
military. But, at the moment, it is still not | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
known if it was brought down by military action. | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
Our correspondent is in Amsterdam for us now. The plane took off from | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
Amsterdam, what more are you hearing from there? Well, we have been | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
speaking to officials here at the airport throughout the afternoon. | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
They say that they have just seen the tweet from Malaysian Airlines | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
confirming they lost radar contact with the plane. They see when they | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
got confirmation of what has happened, they will be prepared to | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
support the families of the relatives of those who were onboard | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
MH17. The flight left here at 12.14, 14 minutes after the scheduled | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
departure time. This is very much still a breaking news situation, so | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
we are expecting to get more details from here at the airport throughout | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
the evening. Thank you. Our defence correspondent | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
is here. Jonathan, we should stress these reports that the plan plane | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
was shot down are unconfirmed but this is an area of great tension, | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
what light can you shed, could it have been shot down? Let us look at | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
the facts so far. We know a number of Ukrainian aircraft have been shot | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
down, and there is already a suspicion that pro-Russian rebels | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
have access to portable surface-to-air missile they can | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
carry round. They are short range, you would have to see the plane | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
before they fired it. This is very different. This was passenger plane | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
flying at 30,000 feet, about ten kilometres high. It would have had | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
to have a much more sophisticated weapon system to lock on the that, | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
you are talking about radar. So the kind of equipment and range of | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
missile that would be held by a well-equipped, well funded military, | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
and you are looking in that region at Ukraine and Russia, both | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
countries deny it. I think the west will reserve judgment. The other | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
possibility it could have been a fighter jet with an air-to-air | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
missile. I think that is unlikely. But it's a mystery at the moment. | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
You will have both the Americans and NATO looking at satellite imagery | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
and they will be able to identify plumes, ultraviolet plumes that will | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
show up if it was a surface-to-air missile and where it came from. | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
Rebe bring you more on the story as it develops. | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
near the Russian border. Three Palestinian children have been | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
killed, as hostilities between Israel and Gaza have resumed | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
after a brief lull in the fighting. The humanitarian ceasefire was | :06:41. | :06:41. | |
organised for five hours this morning, | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
to allow besieged residents in Gaza to stock up on essential supplies. | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
Egypt is trying to broker a longer lasting ceasefire, | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
but so far with no success. Our chief international | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
correspondent Lyse Doucet reports from Gaza. | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
It was a cautious start to a long-awaited pause. Traffic on the | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
deserted streets. Children seize a moment to play. | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
This man opens his shop for the first time in ten days. | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
Shells the basics, like flour, and sugar. | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
-- he sells. Money is what they need. Banks have | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
been shut. Today 70,000 people are due to receive their salaries. | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
Some civil servants haven't been paid for months. | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
Many people are stocking up on food, not sure when they will be able to | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
buy goods again. By midday, some streets are packed. | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
It looks and sounds like it did before this war erupted. | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
It is also a moment to socialise. But for this family, it's a day of | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
mourning, this man lost his child and three other boys in his extended | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
family. They were killed yesterday, in Israeli attacks on Gaza's port. | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
Today, the former President told the BBC about his regret. It is really | :08:16. | :08:31. | |
taking maximum care. I told the man what the former | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
President said. Is he going to compensate us for our children? Will | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
he bring them back. He gives orders with his right hand and offers peace | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
with his left hand. The humanitarian ceasefire has just ended, and has | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
already been violated. We have seen missiles being fired from the Gaza | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
Strip into Israel and we can hear the Israeli drones in the sky again. | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
People in this neighbourhood tell us they are braced for more Israeli air | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
strikes. There is more talk of a ceasefire now, | :09:07. | :09:07. | |
strikes. There is more talk of a ground, there is no sign that this | :09:08. | :09:17. | |
war is about to end. Then, an Israeli strike. It is known | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
as a knock on the Then, an Israeli strike. It is known | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
But three children are killed. There is no pause in the growing | :09:25. | :09:25. | |
human cost of this war. Lyse Doucet reports from Gaza. | :09:26. | :09:34. | |
And there are detailed reports about the crisis in Gaza on the BBC | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
news website, including analysis on Egypt's role as mediator. | :09:38. | :09:50. | |
It's emerged to re-nationalise parts | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
of the to re-nationalise parts | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
a Labour government, state-owned or not for profit companies could be | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
created to compete against Virgin, Stagecoach and other private | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
companies to run train services in different parts of the country. | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
Our political editor Nick Robinson reports. | :10:08. | :10:08. | |
Lower fare, less overcrowding. There is no doubt what | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
Lower fare, less overcrowding. There be more likely to get it, if the | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
trains were run by a public company, not private firms who make a profit. | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
It should be run by the Government, for the people. If Labour said that | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
was our policy for the people. If Labour said that | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
impressed? I think I would. I am happy with things as they are at at | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
the moment. Public? Yes, Thank you for your time. Ed Miliband has a | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
problem. The polls say the public want to see the railways | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
renationalised and his party is threatening to vote for it this | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
weekend. He doesn't want Labour looking like it is go back the | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
future. Back, that is, to the old days of British Rail. | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
The modernisation scheme goes full steam ahead. BR began with high | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
hopes but inded like this, with a lack of investment in the railways | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
and a lack of planning. We have learned that in recent days, | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
union leaders have been here, in the We have learned that in recent days, | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
Labour leaders' office, trying to hammer out a policy they can all | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
sign up to. The BBC has obtained the wording of a motion agreed by the | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
Labour leadership and three rail union, it promises to legislate, to | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
allow public sector operator, to be able to take on rail line, and | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
challenge the train operators. In other words, part nationalisation. | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
It also promises a legal guarantee that passengers will get the | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
cheapest possible fare, and those fare rises will be capped. | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
The east coast is the only main line now run not for profit. The last | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
Labour Government took it over when a private firm walked away. But it | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
is due to be privatised again before the election. Some Labour MPs say | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
this shows why it is time for Labour to promise renationalisation. The | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
success of the east coast shows that publicly owned can be a success, and | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
that there is nothing to fear from state ownership of the railways. The | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
failed and fragmented policies of privatisation, we need something | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
different. But private companies like Chiltern | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
Rail say competition has made them invest and innovate in better trains | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
and service, the man who runs the company remembers British Rail, he | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
used to work for them. Couldn't you have done everything you have done | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
if you were a publicly owned firm? We have improved the Birmingham | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
service we are building a new line to Oxford and the difference is in | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
this role I focus on my customer, and deliver what they want, rather | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
than what I am told to deliver by Government. | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
Ed Miliband finds himself caught between those who say surely it | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
would be more popular to have the railways run not for profit by | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
public firms, and the private companies that run the railways now, | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
who say get this policy wrong, and we will stop investing. | :13:03. | :13:11. | |
reports. Almost 200 Irish Republicans who | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
were sent official letters informing them they were no longer wanted | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
by police have been warned they could still be arrested - | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
if there's sufficient evidence. The Northern Ireland Secretary says | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
the letters do not amount to a get out of jail free card. | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
The letters were sent in the years following the Good | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
Friday Peace Agreement in 1998. Our Ireland Correspondent Chris | :13:28. | :13:28. | |
Buckler reports. 32 years ago this week, the IRA | :13:29. | :13:36. | |
carried out the Hyde Park bombing. One of the most notorious attacks of | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
the Troubles. Four soldiers were killed, and earlier this year, there | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
was an attempt to prosecute the main suspect in the case. But John Downie | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
couldn't be tried because of what the judge viewed as a promise made | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
by the British Government. He was given a letter assuring him he was | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
not wanted by any police force in the UK. Today's report says that was | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
a dreadful mistake. The conclusion of Lady Justice | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
Hallett is the fact a catastrophic mistake had been made and that | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
cannot be undone. She recommends the families come to terms with that. We | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
will vet back to how we came to terms with it for the last 32 years. | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
The assurance given to John Downie was one of almost 200 made to | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
paramilitary suspects by the Government as part of a scheme | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
negotiated by Sinn Fein. Lady Justice Hallett is very clear. | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
She concludes that "The administrative scheme did not amount | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
to an amnesty for terrorist, suspected terrorists were not handed | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
a get out of jail free card." That was a claim made by unionists and | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
while the report says the scheme was not an ams inty it identifies flaws | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
that contributed to the letter given by mistake to John Downie. An error | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
that was identified by not rectified by police. And the review finds that | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
two more letters were sent as a result of errors. | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
Unionists say they knew nothing of the scheme and threatened to walk | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
away from power-sharing at Stormont because of it. Months after he | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
threatened to resign, Northern Ireland's First Minister says he | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
still has some concerns It was a get out of jail free card for Downey. It | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
has the potential of being a get out of jail card for the two that Lady | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
Justice Hallett refers to as being an error. This is a very detailed | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
report. But Lady Justice Hallett chooses her words carefully. She | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
says the scheme wasn't secret, but it was kept below the radar. And she | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
says it was not unlawful, but it was unprecedented. | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
To be clear about this, the myth of amnesties is a unionist myth. It has | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
never been ordered by anything on the nationalist side. Today the | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
police apologised for the additional pain caused by the error in the Hyde | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
Park bombing case. The families of the soldiers killed | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
feel no assurance justice can be offered to them. | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
Our top story this evening - A Malaysia Airlines flight carrying | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
nearly 300 passengers is reported to have crashed in Ukraine | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
And coming up ? 18,000 to lose their jobs at Microsoft, as it counts | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
It proposes that as long as two doctors agree that | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
a patient in England or Wales has less than six months to live and is | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
of sound mind, then they can legally be helped to end their lives. | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
On BBC London: The Queen unveils a newly revamped Reading station. And | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
inspired by an 18th century love story. It is open to the public | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
thanks to a local campaign. Tomorrow a record number of pierce | :16:41. | :16:58. | |
is expected to take part in the Assisted Dying Bill in the House of | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
Lords. It proposes that as long as two doctors agree that if a patient | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
has less than six months to live and is of sound mind, they can be helped | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
to legally end their lives. We heard from Professor Stephen Hawking about | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
why he supports the bill. We spoke to those who don't want a change in | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
the law. This is Pam. | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
She is 69 years old. She used to work as a freelance legal secretary. | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
She has a big family, close friends and two dogs. | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
She also has Motor Neurone Disease, a condition she has had for over 20 | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
years. It has left her only able to | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
communicate by moving her eyes with the aid of this special computer. | :17:44. | :17:52. | |
When I was first diagnosed in 1981, abecame depressed. I'm ashamed to | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
say I spoke about dying if I could not cope with Motor Neurone Disease. | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
But although her life is not what it was, Pam does not want to die. | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
I am a amazed I have coped with Motor Neurone Disease. You don't | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
know unless you try. There is always another book to read or a film to | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
watch. I am too nosey to want to die. | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
The Lord's are debating if a form like this will be available to those | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
with the terminal illness. Two doctors have to agree that if the | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
patient has six months or less to live and are of sound mind, that | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
they can then take their life by self-medication with the lawful | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
assistance of another person. Pam's friend is also against the | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
bill. She is worried that it will have wider implications, especially | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
for those when disabilities. Suddenly, you are in the constant | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
position of have to say "no". We need support for living, not support | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
for dying. If we have support for living, we will not want to die. | :19:03. | :19:12. | |
The assisted dying bill has had high-profile support in the last few | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
days. Those against it are worried. I am concerned if assisted dying | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
became a law, people will look at me whying why I am alive and not asking | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
to be killed. A record number of Lords is expected | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
to speak with regards to the debate tomorrow. | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
Microsoft, the maker of Windows, is set to make its biggest ever cuts | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
Thousands of jobs are to go - more than half will come | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
from the Nokia arm of the business which was bought earlier this year. | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
Our Business Editor Kamal Ahmed is here. | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
So Kamal, why such deep job cuts and how many | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
Microsoft is huge. Today they announced that they will lose 18,000 | :19:50. | :20:05. | |
employees. As you say, after the purchase of Nokia, they want to | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
drive efficiencies in the business. That could mean losing jobs. In the | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
UK Microsoft employ about 3,500 people. I would have thought that | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
the risk is a low level. Nokia was a finished business. So must of its | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
employees are not here. That is where most of the losses will be. | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
But there must be a concern. This is about increasing competition. It is | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
in the smartphone market. Microsoft has been criticised for being slow | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
and dinosaur like moving into the tablet and the smartphone business. | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
It is lucrative, Apple and Google have promoted smartphone. So | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
Microsoft hopes that the savings it can make from the 18,000 job losses | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
it can plough into products we want to buy to make it a more successful | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
business. Golf and on the first day of the | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
Open, Rory Rory Rory heads the ladder board. | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
Open, Rory Rory Rory heads the par. Playing in perfect conditions. | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
He was pleased with his performance. Wads with was three shots behind. | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
Alistair Cook won the toss and put the visitors in to bat | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
The Indians were soon in trouble and lost wickets steadily through | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
When the Commonwealth Games start in Glasgow next week, it will be | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
an historic moment for Northern Ireland's Alanna Audley-Murphy. | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
The Belfast-born boxer will be become one of the first women ever | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
to step into the ring at the Games but, as she told Katie Gornall, | :21:44. | :21:55. | |
I've been here 11 years now. It is a run down area. It's an estate. | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
Growing up as a kid it is not easy. But the club has gotten the kids off | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
the street. In the heart of East Belfast, in | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
the street. city that revers its boxers, Alanna | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
Audley-Murphy is getting ready to make history. She will be one of the | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
first women to box at the Commonwealth Games, although the | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
road to Glasgow has been a long one. I have been boxing since a little | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
girl. It has been a long time waiting. My first exhibition was | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
against a boy. There were no girls to match me. I'm sure some were | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
against it, it is male-dominated but times have changed. | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
28-year-old, Alanna Audley-Murphy spends most of her time in England. | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
She is the army's most successful female boxer. But the Games have | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
brought her back home to train and to retrace her roots. | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
This is where I grew up. This is my old club. | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
That is not a bad sign? They have myself and other stars of the sports | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
from overseas. Alanna Audley-Murphy credits her friend, Katie Taylor | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
with raising the credits her friend, Katie Taylor | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
boxing. The IRA fighter won gold at the Olympics. | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
Me and Katie boxed each other in one. The first girls to box in | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
Ireland. The first official fight. So a big part of boxing history. | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
That was an old one. We went to Turkey to box. | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
So when Alanna said at 13, she wanted to box, was it a surprise? I | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
thought it was a great way of training, to maintain your weight. | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
People get nervous but I was like, come on! Have you allowed yourself | :23:49. | :23:55. | |
to dream to think of yourself on the podium? Definitely. Everyone does. | :23:56. | :24:03. | |
To hear the National Anthem and the flag flying in the background. To go | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
home with a Gold Medal to Belfast... Do you think that your face will be | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
there? Definitely. I hope I get a whole wall to myself! That will be | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
great. Now let's take a look at the | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
weather. Alex Deakin is here. It is day one | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
of the heatwave? Well, tomorrow for some it will be hatter but it is not | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
that straightforward. 22 Celsius in Edinburgh. To the south 29 Celsius | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
in West London, the hottest day of the year so far. But although | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
tomorrow is hotter for some, we are starting to see the thunder storm. | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
There is an area of cloud approaching from the north of | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
France. Moving into the south-west in the evening. With flashes of | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
lightening. The storms heading across the Midlands and parts of | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
Wales. So local downpours. You may be woken up by a rumble of thunder. | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
The a warm and the humid night in the south and in the north warmer | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
than last night. The risk of the showers affecting the Open for a | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
time tomorrow morning. Then the zone of showers working its way across | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
Northern Ireland and south-west Scotland. Misty around the coasts in | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
the south-west and in the far north-east. In these areas a little | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
cooler tomorrow. But across central and eastern parts of England, that | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
is where we really see the temperatures soaring. Over 30 | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
Celsius. 33 Celsius is possible. The heat and the humidity sparking | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
thunder storms tomorrow night. These will be bigger beasts, breading | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
north across England and Wales for tomorrow night and for Saturday to | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland. Then followed by more thunder storms | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
during the day on Saturday. It does not rain everywhere all day but the | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
potential for the storms to be violent are there. Humid air on | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
Saturday. And on Sunday the risk of big downpours in the east for a | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
time. Scattered showers elsewhere. Starting to turn the temperatures | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
down a notch. Time to bring you up-to-date on the | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
main story: A Malaysia Airlines passenger plane carrying nearly 300 | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
people crashed in the Ukraine. Ukraine and Russia deny that they | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
shot it down. Pilots around the world are told to avoid the area. | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
Flights in the air are being re-routed. The flight took off from | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
Amsterdam. Let's talk to our correspondent there for us now. | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
Anna, what more are you hearing there in Amsterdam? I gather that | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
relatives are turning up at the airport? Two new pieces of | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
information. The Dutch Prime Minister is returning from Brussels | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
to deal with the situation here. Also, the officials have confirmed | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
that relatives of passengers on board Flight MH17 have now arrived | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
at the airport and are being looked after here. Anna. Thank you. | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
Our correspondent is here with me again. We still must stress we don't | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
know that the plane was shot down. We have the Ukraine and Russia | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
denying the responsibility for it. There has been a lot of tension in | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
the area for some time. How much will this change things in that | :27:23. | :27:30. | |
area? If it is a surface to air missile responsible for the crash, | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
it is a huge game-changer. This is a civilian airliner. It will involve | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
dozens of countries who will demand answers. If it was a surface-to-air | :27:40. | :27:48. | |
missile it will have been operated by professional military. Not a | :27:49. | :27:53. | |
bunch of rebels but handled from a well-equipped army. There are a lot | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
of questions. It is a mystery. But not for long. There will be lots of | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
analysts trying to get the answers that governments will demand for | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
their own people. They know that loved ones have died here. | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
Thank you. You can get the latest on the plane | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
crash on the BBC News Channel. | :28:16. | :28:19. |
