David Cameron warns of the need for patience, saying Britain's mission | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
against so called Islamic State in Syria will not be over quickly. | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
RAF warplanes have already launched their first air strikes | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
against IS-controlled oilfields in eastern Syria. | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
It is complex, it is difficult what we are asking our pilots to do, | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
and our thoughts should be with them and their families as they commence | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
Meanwhile, bitter divisions emerge within the Labour Party, | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
with calls for MPs who voted for the bombing to lose their jobs. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:24. | :01:42. | |
David Cameron has warned that the British mission against | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
so-called Islamic State in Syria is complex and will take time. | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
He called for patience and persistence as RAF jets carried | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
out their first airstrikes in Syria, just hours after MPs | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
Four Tornado jets from the RAF's base in Cyprus targeted oilfields | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
in eastern Syria which are under IS control. | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
Our Defence Correspondent Jonathan Beale is at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
Jonathan, have there been many more sorties today? | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
We haven't heard any leaving. We have certainly heard and seen some | :02:16. | :02:26. | |
arriving. There are twice as many British warplanes air at RAF | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
Akrotiri as there were yesterday, and clearly that means that there | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
will be a step up in the Campo of operations. With regular combat | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
missions not just over Iraq now but over Syria, too. Another thing is | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
clear, that these jets will be here for some time to come. | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
This evening, reinforcements arrived at Akrotiri. Another eight jets, | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
Typhoon, as well as two more Tornados to add to the aid already | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
here. It signals that the rules have now changed. The border between Iraq | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
and Syria, no longer a barrier. Last night, within an hour of MPs voting | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
yes, a pair of Tornados prepared for the first British air strikes in | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
Syria, loaded with ?500-macro bombs. It was a carefully choreographed | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
mission. -- ?500-macro. This is the second pair of Tornados to leave | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
tonight, after that Commons vote authorising military action in | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
Syria. We have not been told their destination but we understand they | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
will be flying over Syria. They already had a target. Their | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
destination, the Omar oilfield, a source of funding for extremists. It | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
wasn't that long before they returned. The MoD said it was a | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
successful mission. This is the first pair of RAF Tornados. They | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
have been flying for just over three hours. They went with three Paveway | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
bombs and it looked like -- it looks like they fired at least some of | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
them. As the initial operation, it is a breeze of infrastructure, so | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
you can preplan it. And you want a fairly big bang after a | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
parliamentary vote, so it is low risk from the perspective of the | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
pilots and high gain for the politicians. The targets are part of | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
a wider strategy. Cockpit footage released by the Pentagon shows US | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
warplanes hitting similar installations as well as tankers. It | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
is one of the main sources of income for the extremists. The Prime | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
Minister admits it will take more to defeat IS. We will need to be | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
patient and persistent. This will take time. It is complex and | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
difficult, and our thoughts should be with the pilots and their | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
families as they commence this important work. These pilots will | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
not be home by Christmas. This bombing campaign could take place -- | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
could take years. It will need more than warplanes to defeat IS. | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
Bitter divisions within the Labour Party over the war in Syria | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
have come to the fore in the wake of last night's vote | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
Some Labour MPs who voted with the Government - against the position of | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
their own party leader - say they've been subjected to intimidation | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
There have also been calls for them to lose their jobs. | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
Our Deputy Political Editor James Landale reports from Westminster. | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
It was an astonishing moment. A Labour frontbencher applauded by all | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
sides after making a powerful speech for war. It is now time for us to do | :05:47. | :05:56. | |
our bit in Syria. But his great speech also revealed a divided | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
party. Look who is not clapping. On the front bench, his party leader, | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
utterly opposed to the military strike is now taking place in Syria. | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
This morning, Mr Benn tried to play down divisions in the Shadow | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
Cabinet. Now the House of Commons has made the decision, having heard | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
all of the arguments, all of our thoughts are with the brave men and | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
women of the RAF and we pray for their safe return. Others could not | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
resist a jab. I thought Hilary's oratory was great. It reminded me of | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
Tony Blair's speech taking us into the Iraq war. I worry that the great | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
oratory leads to great mistakes. Labour is not just divided at the | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
top. Look at the abuse some Labour MPs got online from some party | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
supporters for backing military action. Others had pictures of dead | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
children put through their front doors. When you get e-mails which | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
are personal abuse, that goes further than just voicing opinion. | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
One MP under fire was still a greasy, who this week faced | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
demonstrations outside her office which left her fearful for her | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
staff. -- Stella Crecy. Today, the BBC caught up with one of her | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
critics who compared the war to fascism. Is it right to say that? | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
Essentially, yes, because the views seem so in a box at the moment. The | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
Tories are voting one way and then half of the Labour Party of voting | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
the same way. Where is the balance? Where is the democracy? Some MPs who | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
backed military action fear they might be ousted and some Labour | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
members say, why not? If your local party doesn't agree with you, they | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
should have the right to a member they do agree with. But Labour are | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
considering a code of conduct and better security for MPs. I gather | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
today that some members have received photos of severed heads. | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
MPs have broad shoulders, but can I ask the leader to review the | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
arrangements regarding the security of members' homes and offices? The | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
Labour leadership says it deplores any such actions, but these | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
divisions are also about who runs this party. | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
14 people have been killed and 17 injured | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
A man and his wife dropped off their six-month-old daughter | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
before arming themselves with assault rifles and opening fire | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
They were later shot dead in a gunfight with police. | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
The motive for the attacks is not yet known, | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
although President Obama today said terrorism could not be ruled out. | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
Our Los Angeles correspondent James Cook reports from the scene. | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
At times yesterday, San Bernardino looked more like a war zone and a | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
city in California. The streets awash with police, hunting for a | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
young man who had gone on the rampage with his wife at a festive | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
party. Syed Rizwan Farook reportedly left the gathering after a | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
disagreement before returning with Tashfeen Malik, armed with automatic | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
weapons. We have two suspects, dressed in black. They went into a | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
room and locked the door. I turned off the lights. I didn't want... And | :09:24. | :09:34. | |
so the hunt began. Hours after the shooting, parts of the city were | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
still in lockdown. This operation is not over. This is the second scene | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
we are apt, a couple of miles from where the shooting began. Just up | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
that street, it was over for the two suspects. After a car chase, they | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
died here in a gun battle, with some 20 police officers. There was | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
shouting from the back. I don't know who first, but they were shooting | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
each other. It must have been frightening. It was very scary. They | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
were hidden at the back of the walls. As soon as we heard bullets | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
flying, hitting the building... Syed Rizwan Farook was a 28-year-old | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
American. -Month-old dating profile, he called himself a good Muslim, | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
looking for a girl who likes snowboarding and would wear a hijab. | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
Why would he do something like this? I am in shock. The FBI asking the | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
same question, scouring the couple's home for explosives. | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
Terrorism is a possibility, they say, but so, too, is a workplace | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
dispute which turned violent. Either way, the country he leaves has, by | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
one count, seen more than one mass shooting per day this year. We will | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
have to search ourselves as a society to make sure that we can | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
take basic steps that would make it harder, not impossible but harder, | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
for individuals to get access to weapons. This tense and grieving | :11:09. | :11:16. | |
city is still short of answers. Why did a mild-mannered man and his wife | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
spark all of this, leaving their own baby as an orphan? | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
Our North America Editor Jon Sopel is live for us now at the scene | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
America has become horribly accustomed to shootings but this | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
Exactly, Fiona. There is a weary familiarity to these episodes, but | :11:30. | :11:47. | |
some things about this don't feel as though they fit into the model of | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
previous incidents. The shooting that took place had clearly been | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
carefully planned. It wasn't just that a trigger and suddenly clicked | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
and this man went on the rampage with his wife. It was carefully | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
thought out. We have just had a news conference where police have told us | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
that they had three remote-controlled pipe bombs that | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
luckily did not go off. They had thousands of rounds of ammunition | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
with them. All of that suggests to some kind of terrorist motive, or | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
some degree of planning involved. The fact that we have backed | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
President Obama saying that the FBI will lead on this themselves also | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
suggests that is what the authorities are thinking. There is a | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
long way to go on this investigation, but a horrifying | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
picture has become clear, and that one statistic. This is the 355th | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
mass shooting this year so far. More than once a day. | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
The Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius has been found guilty | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
of murder after an appeal court judge in South Africa overturned | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
The athlete killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
The judge said mistakes had been made in the first trial, | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
and that Pistorius must have known he'd kill someone when he repeatedly | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
From Johannesburg, Nomsa Maseko reports. | :13:07. | :13:15. | |
It is nearly three years since Reeva Steenkamp was shot dead by her | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
boyfriend, Oscar Pistorius. Today, the long wait for her family was | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
finally over. The accused conviction and sentence on count one set aside | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
and replaced with the following. Guilty of murder, with the accused | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
having had intent. As they anxiously gathered in the courtroom, one of | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
the prosecution lawyers hugged Reeva's mother. At least we have the | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
truth now and the right judgment. It is not up to me to say. I don't want | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
to hurt him in anyway. I have no revenge. They were South Africa 's | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
glamorous couple, a Paralympic in and a model but, in the early hours | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
of Valentine's Day 2014, she was killed in his bathroom when he fired | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
four high-calibre bullets through a locked door. Pistorius denied | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
intentionally shooting her, saying he believed he was shooting at an | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
intruder in self defence. The prosecution argued that he shot her | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
in a fit of rage after an argument. The Supreme Court did today that the | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
athlete should have foreseen the consequences of his actions when he | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
opened fire regardless of who was behind the door. By shooting through | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
a locked door, the judge concluded that he must have known he was going | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
to kill someone. The judge also found that there were fundamental | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
errors in how the trial judge interpreted the law when she | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
convicted Pistorius of a lesser charge of manslaughter, for which he | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
has spent a year in prison. Oscar Pistorius will remain here, in his | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
uncle's home on house arrest, now branded a murderer by the Supreme | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
Court of Appeal. The disgraced athlete will wait until next year | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
for resentencing to find out if he is heading back to prison. It is | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
unlikely Pistorius will be able to appeal. He now faces a possible 15 | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
year jail term. As RAF fighter jets launch | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
their first airstrikes in Syria, David Cameron warns the mission | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
will not be over quickly. And from the BBC's Casualty to Star | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
Wars, the films' newest star on her Yeah, I guess it's daunting, but I | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
just mainly want people to think I Jail for a double rapist who once | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
attacked serial killer Peter Tobin The judge says he | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
may never be freed. And Rangers boss Mark Warburton | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
denies he's leaving to take over Should scientists be allowed to do | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
research which alters the DNA It's a question being discussed | :15:53. | :16:07. | |
by hundreds of scientists from 20 countries in Washington | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
at a conference on what's known The technology makes it possible to | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
change the genes parents pass It might help prevent inherited | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
diseases, but it also gives rise to fears about creating | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
designer human beings. From Washington, our Medical | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
Correspondent Fergus Walsh reports. From the discovery of DNA structure | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
by Crick and Watson, to the dawn of IVF with the birth of Louise Brown | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
to the decoding of our human genome. Decades of progress | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
in human biology means scientists can now alter the very DNA that | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
parents pass on to their children. And scientists in xhn said they had | :16:51. | :17:03. | |
altered the genes of humans in the lab. | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
Gene editing is cheap, simple and accessible to scientists | :17:06. | :17:07. | |
It's like a molecular sat-nav - it scans our DNA, reading the code, | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
Then it uses molecular scissors to snip through both strands, switching | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
off a faulty gene, or enabling a healthy copy to be be inserted. | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
Both techniques have the potential to treat or even cure | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
If gene editing was done in IVF embryos, that DNA chain would pass | :17:24. | :17:31. | |
The theory is it could be used to prevent inherited conditions | :17:32. | :17:41. | |
like cystic fibrosis or Huntington's disease. | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
Let's hear from three people, a patient, ethicist and scientist - | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
all with strong views on this technology. | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
I will lose the ability to think, I will lose | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
the ability to control my body, and my personality will change. | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
Charles Sabine carries the gene for Huntington's disease, | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
a devastating brain disorder which causes physical and mental decline. | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
It killed his father, his older brother now needs 24 hour care. | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
He says gene ediding offers real hope. | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
It's too late for me, but for generations to come this offers | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
the priceless possibility of putting an end to a disease which affects | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
But this ethicist argues it would be wrong to ever allow gene | :18:23. | :18:32. | |
It's too risky, we don't need it, there are other ways to have | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
And it would open the door possibly maybe likely to a world | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
We don't need more inequality, we don't need more discrimination | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
Sir Paul Nurse wants scientists at the New Crick Institute in London | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
to be allowed to do embryo gene editing, | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
He says cures for inherited diseases are still years off. | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
The ability to precisely manipulate individual genes and then to test | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
what effect that has on how a cell behaves, how a tissue behaves, how | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
an organ perhaps behaves is really going to open up new avenues of | :19:13. | :19:20. | |
research of understanding how our bodies work. | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
be a long way off, but these are designer dogs. | :19:24. | :19:32. | |
Chinese scientists edited their genes as embryos. | :19:33. | :19:33. | |
They have bigger muscles than other beagles. | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
Modifying DNA raises profound questions which science and society | :19:37. | :19:38. | |
Two Fifa vice-presidents have been arrested in a dawn raid at a Swiss | :19:39. | :19:51. | |
hotel on suspicion of accepting millions of dollars of bribes. | :19:52. | :19:53. | |
Alfredo Hawit and Juan Angel Napout - both presidents | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
of football associations in Latin America - were detained | :19:58. | :19:59. | |
as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged corruption | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
Our Sports Editor Dan Roan is outside Fifa's headquarters in | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
Zurich. Another day, another series of arrests, this Fifa scandal shows | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
That's right, yes, I think if Fifa thought the removal of its suspended | :20:13. | :20:26. | |
president, Sepp Blatter, meant the end of its trouble, this proved how | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
mistaken it was. The scandal intensifying. Another drawn raid by | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
Swiss police on the same luxury hotel here in Zurich as they did | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
back in May and arresting two senior football officials. Not household | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
names, but nonetheless Fifa vice presidents and ex-co-members. They | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
were meant to be discussing a proposal to expand the World Cup. | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
Instead they languish in a Zurich jail. In a few minutes the US | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
Attorney General is expected to confirm fresh details of the latest | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
wave of activity, effectively doubling the scale of the | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
investigation. Today was meant to be looking forward for Fifa, now the | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
message from the United States authority is is simple - we are not | :21:18. | :21:19. | |
finished with you yet. The BBC's Creative Director Alan | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
Yentob has resigned from his role after the controversy | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
about the collapsed charity Kids The BBC concluded Mr Yentob had not | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
influenced the corporation's news coverage of the charity - | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
despite claims he had tried. But the corporation said it would | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
consider Here's our special | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
correspondent Lucy Manning. He's held hands with the Dalai Lama, | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
swapped stories with Rod Stewart. And arm-wrestled with | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
Salman Rushdie. Alan Yentob was the BBC's Creative Director, | :21:48. | :22:00. | |
but also the man overseeing the money when Kids Company was | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
accused of being more than creative MPs had challenged him about | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
whether he had interfered with And your presence and | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
your phone calls were an abuse of I absolutely think that's | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
completely untrue. I think it's a great decision | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
both for Mr Yentob and the BBC. I think there was a clear conflict | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
of interest between his job at Kids In statement, Mr Yentob said media | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
coverage of his role as a former trustee of Kids Company | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
was proving a serious distration. Camila Batmanghelidjh, | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
the former Chief Eexecutive He's a kind and creative human being | :22:38. | :22:39. | |
who has added to the quality One day British history will | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
celebrate his contribution In a statement, the | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
BBC Director General said the BBC had considered whether Alan Yentob | :22:52. | :22:59. | |
had influenced the BBC's reporting But what the statement doesn't | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
say is whether Mr Yentob had Once he had tried to intervene in | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
the way the story was being covered by BBC news, as a senior BBC | :23:10. | :23:17. | |
Executive, although he had no direct authority to make anything happen, | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
and the actual result may have been Mr Yentob won't face further | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
investigation by the BBC's governing body and although he loses his | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
?183,000 executive job, he will keep But he is likely to be criticised | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
by MPs about the collapse of Now - a long time ago, in a galaxy | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
far, far away... In the new star Wars film sees two | :23:41. | :24:05. | |
unknowns cast. Will their stars shine? Our entertainment correct | :24:06. | :24:19. | |
meets them. Those stories... The saga is part of cinema mythology. | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
The two relative unknowns, lead roles that could propel their | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
careers to light speed. I was terrified. For a few months, I was I | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
don't know whether I'm coming on going, I think I will lose the job | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
and then surrounded by people who make you feel loved. How ready are | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
you? I don't get recognised as much. That will change. But you can never | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
be ready for this. It is just something that is going to happen | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
regardless. Dazy Ridley was making appearances in TV dramas and working | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
in a pub when she first started auditioning for a part that could be | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
career-defining. Do you give thought to the fact that it is not a | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
guarantee of longevity as a screen actor? No, I'm quite a hopeful | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
person. She is hoping for a better life and I have been so lucky what's | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
happened before. When I did Casualty, that was thrilling to me. | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
I think it will continue to be. John already has a few smaller films. | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
Filming this at Pinewood helped him feel at home. The funny thing is | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
being on this kind of like historical Hollywood set and then | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
you know walking down stairs and seeing the crew talk about the | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
latest episode of Eastenders. It is like a great balance. As opening day | :25:53. | :26:01. | |
approaches, how nervous do you feel? I'm so used to your voice talking | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
about films, this is the most serious I have been. It is daunting, | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
but I just want people to think I did a good job and then people love | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
it and the people who loved it from before and new people. It is layers. | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
But it is mainly exciting. Mount Etna, the volcano | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
on the Italian island of Sicily, has erupted in spectacular fashion | :26:22. | :26:23. | |
for the first time in two years. Etna sent a mile high plume | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
of fire and ash into the sky. The eruption caused the closure | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
of the nearest airport on the Italian mainland and left | :26:30. | :26:31. | |
the Sicilian city of Catania coated Now the weather. From the hot to the | :26:32. | :26:45. | |
cold in fact. We have got snow, this is one of our weather watches send | :26:46. | :26:53. | |
this in half an hour ago in Midlothian. Snow is a concern in the | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
south-east of Scotland. For most of us it is wet and windy and the | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
potential for disruption to travel. This low pressure, we will have | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
further snowfall in south eastern Scotland and northern England. Most | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
of us having wet and windy weather. It disappears by the early hours. | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
And it is going to be chilly and there will be icy patches in | :27:19. | :27:30. | |
Scotland. For most a benign night. And later we have the winds | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
gathering and more rain. After recent days of releaptless rain -- | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
relentless rain in the north, it is drier tomorrow. But not as we end | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
the day in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Not just the rain, it is | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
Friday evening we have got some really atrocious conditions with | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
gusts of wind up to 70mph and this is why. Look at the tightly packed | :27:52. | :27:56. | |
isobars. And that moves south through Friday night into Saturday. | :27:57. | :28:02. | |
More rain along it. The concern not for just gales, but also more wet | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
weather. Scotland and Northern Ireland and northern England and | :28:08. | :28:10. | |
again North Wales in the firing line on Saturday. Very mild, so the snow | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
melt continues in the north and the winds blowing throughout Saturday. | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
Only easing slowly into Sunday when we get some respite in the north. | :28:21. | :28:23. | |
But again that rain could hang around in the south for much of the | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
day. And there are warnings out and they're on the web-site. Thaurchg | :28:29. | :28:32. | |
That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me and on | :28:33. | :28:35. |
