Detectives investigating the murder of a British family while on | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
holiday in France have revealed details of their conversations with | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
the four-year-old girl who survived. She has spoken of her terror as her | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
father, mother and a woman believed to be her grandmother were killed. | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
Her seven-year-old sister is still too badly injured to be interviewed. | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
Among many lines of investigation, one possibility is there may have | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
been a family feud, but the father's brother has denied that to | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
the police. Our correspondent, Jon Kay, has the latest from the scene | :02:25. | :02:34. | |
This is the remote country lane where the al-Hilli family was | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
murdered. Now open to traffic again. Hard to believe that a quiet drive | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
here could end in such brutality. Aerial pictures show police | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
examining the BMW after the shooting. The vehicle stuck in the | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
corner of a lay-by, bullet holes in the windows. The car might have | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
gone now, but some of the evidence remains, shards of glass, skid | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
marks into the bank. We now know that at least 25 bullets were fired | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
into the car and everyone of the victims shot in the head and all | :03:13. | :03:21. | |
that with a four-year-old girl hiding beneath her mother. She has | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
started talking to the police. TRANSLATION: She talked about the | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
fear and the terror. She explained from the beginning of the attack | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
she was already between her mother and the other woman and she rushed | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
under her mother's skirt. So what happened to Saad al-Hilli and his | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
wife and mother-in-law is a mystery. The police don't know if they were | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
victims of an assassination or whether they were ambushed. Mr Al- | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
Hilli's brother spoke to police and denied reports of a family feud | :03:55. | :04:05. | |

over money Pem. TRANSLATION: brother first turned up at a police | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
station in the UK yesterday when he heard about the deaths and then he | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
went in again today when he heard the media reports. He said he | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
didn't have any conflict with his brother. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
The British cyclist who found the victims here has told officers that | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
he saw a green 4x4 close to the scene. The police are also | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
following up sightings of other vehicles. | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
Sylvia, lives close to where the family was shot. She was at the | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
local shops at the time of the murders. Driving home, she saw a | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
young man speeding around this bend away from the the crime scene. | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
TRANSLATION: He had dark brown hair and was wearing a black polo shirt. | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
He looked agitated, was driving far too fast as if he was being chased. | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
As we're leaving Sylvia's house, the police arrived to speak to her | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
about what she has seen. They have asked us not to film them, but we | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
know she is one of many local people whose testimonies are being | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
taken as the police follow up any possible sighting that could help | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
them in this complex case. The victims bodies are at this mortuary | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
for more forensic tests. And the family's two little girls in | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
hospital under police guard. Tonight, they were supposed to be | :05:24. | :05:33. | |
going home from holiday with their As we've heard, police have been | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
looking at a possible family feud as just one of many lines of | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
inquiry. French police will be interviewing Saad al-Hilli's | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
brother as part of their wider investigation. Our correspondent, | :05:41. | :05:49. | |
Among those bringing flowers to the family home in Claygate today, | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
mothers who have children in the same same class as Zainab al-Hilli. | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
One of a number of lines of inquiry being pursued by French police is | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
an alleged dispute over inheritance. It is believed the house originally | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
belong to Saad al-Hilli's parents passing to him in his mother's will. | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
It is thought his brother lived there until 2009. In 2010 he was | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
replaced as company secretary at Saad al-Hilli's business. It is | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
reported there was a dispute between the brothers over a house | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
in Spain owned by their father. It is reported that the family have | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
property interests in France, Switzerland's and Baghdad. Saad al- | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
Hilli's accountant, who looked after his company's books, says he | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
was not aware of any financial issues between the brothers. | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
. I don't know of any dispute between him and his brother. I | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
don't know the brother. I know his name because he was at one time the | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
secretary of the company, but then he was, he was replaced by his wife. | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
His brother has spoken to British police denying that he was in | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
conflict with his family and this is just one of many areas of | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
investigation. A senior former Scotland Yard detective outlined | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
some of the lines of inquiry that maybe considered. | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
. They will be looking into the background and the business | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
background of the victims to find out if if there is anything there | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
in relation to really spoiled business deals, deals which may | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
have upset other people from the Middle East, who knows, but that's | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
the kind of line they will be looking at. | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
They will be working with British police in that investigation. | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
Police remain outside the house, but there have been no signs of | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
detectives working inside and Surrey Police have given few | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
details of their involvement in this investigation, except to say | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
that they are continuing to assist the French authorities. | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
As part of that process, there will be four detectives from France | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
working alongside colleagues in Britain. The last of those is | :07:54. | :08:03. | |
Prince Harry is beginning his second tour of duty in Afghanistan. | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
The prince, who is known in the Army as Captain Wales, will spend | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
four months as a gunner on an Apache attack helicopter serving in | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
Helmand province. He arrived in Camp Bastion last night as Quentin | :08:12. | :08:20. | |
Back in uniform and back in Afghanistan. Prince Harry is now | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
fully qualified to fly this Apache in combat. He will have his finger | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
on the trigger of one of the world's most deadly attack | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
helicopters and in a matter of days, helicopter Commander Wales will be | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
flying missions against the Taliban. Working together with his | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
colleagues, he will be in a difficult and demanding job and I | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
ask that he be left to get on with his duties and allowed to focus on | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
delivering support to the coalition foreign troops on the ground. | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
. In training, Prince Harry came top of his class. The armoured | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
Apache carries a range of weapons including a powerful machine gun. | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
Britain has never lost one of these aircraft in combat. | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
When he was last here in 2008, his deployment was kept secret, but it | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
was kept short when news of his tour leaked, he returned home early | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
disappointed. The Prince arrives in Afghanistan at a time of growing | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
attacks by Afghan security forces on foreign troops. This was the | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
aftermath of an attack elsewhere in Helmand in July when an Afghan | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
policeman killed three British soldiers who were advising his unit. | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
Prince Harry won't have any direct contact with Afghan forces, the | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
international mission says it is working on the the problem. We have | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
made clear to our Afghan partners that they have a responsibility to | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
deal with this, by making sure their recruitment processes are | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
right. That they are checking on their soldiers and their officers | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
know the troops they are working with and can spots signs of | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
instability. The Prince's arrival in Afghanistan | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
is a reminder of his more dutiful side, but it hasn't been arranged | :10:04. | :10:11. | |
to distract from his misadventures in a Las Vegas hotel room, behind | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
it lies something more, the Prince's intention to resume his | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
combat career and complete for the first time a full tour of duty. | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
The Prince will be based here for four months. His missions won't be | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
without danger, but this is where he says he feels most comfortable, | :10:29. | :10:39. | |
:10:39. | :10:50. | ||
serving alongside his his squadron The Ministry of Defence has | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
announce that a soldier has died from injuries sustained in | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
Afghanistan. He was from the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards and had | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
been wounded in Helmand Province last month. He died at the Queen | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. Barack Obama has accepted his | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
party's presidential nomination telling the Democrat Conference | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
that American voters face their clearest choice for a generation. | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
He said voters in November face a stark choice. He would create jobs | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
and put the US economy on a stronger footing while his | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, would cut welfare. But | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
disappointing new employment figures have been seized on by his | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
opponents, as our North America Editor, Mark Mardell reports. He | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
came on to chance a four more years and that's what it is about, | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
whether this man who once embodied the dreams of millions, deserves to | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
stay as president of the United States. Thank you. | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
He said he shared the pain and frustration of those who lost their | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
jobs and homes, but he had never been more hopeful of America | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
because of its people. This election, he said, would be the | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
clearest choice in a generation. It will be a choice between two | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
different paths for America. A choice between two different | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
visions for the future. This was not the inspirational | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
rhetoric of four years ago, instead a workmanlike president president | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
urged Americans to continue with him on a hard path to a better | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
place. He derided his opponent's plans as the same old failed | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
policies of the past. Have a surplus, try a tax cut? | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
Deficit too high? Try another. Feel the cold coming on? Take two tax | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
cuts, roll back some regulations and call us in the morning! | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
He mocked Mitt Romney's lack of foreign policy experience from | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
calling Russia's America's main enemy and his awkward trip to | :12:32. | :12:40. | |
London. If you you can't visit the Olympics | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
without insulting our closest ally. Scarcely timed to catch breath and | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
both con dates hit the -- candidates hit the campaign trail. | :12:52. | :13:01. | |
This is what greeted the president when he visited New Hampshire. The | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
Romney campaign are focusing ads like this. The Republican candidate | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
leapt on new unemployment figures. It has been 43 straight months | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
above 8%. There are today 23 million Americans, that are out of | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
work or stopped looking for work. It is a national tragedy. | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
This is the reality behind the statistics and the rhetoric a North | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
Carolina Jobcentre. Today's figures show unemployment isn't going up, | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
but few new jobs are created, do people here blame the president? | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
I don't think he caused the problem, but I don't think he helped the | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
problem. I believe he is for the people and | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
I believe he is going to do what he would do for his own family. | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
They need somebody else in there to see if they can help do anything. | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
On mane Street USA it would take a striking speech to outweigh | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
people's experience. Now, both the political conventions are over and | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
nobody made any big blunders or had terrific trium triumphs so what | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
matters is happens in swing States like this. The opinion polls are | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
still neck and neck between the candidates. It looks as though they | :14:13. | :14:23. | |

Industrial output rose by a 2.9% in July. The rise can be partly | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
explained by poor figures in the previous month when production was | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
hit by the Diamond Jubilee weekend and out but was slightly down | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
compared to the same period last year. -- output. | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
The National Union of Teachers says its members have voted to strike | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
over their pay and conditions. And there are fresh concerns of a wave | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
of industrial action later this year, with the leader of the UK's | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
biggest union, Unite, saying he'd back calls for more co-ordinated | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
strikes. Trade union delegates gather for their annual congress | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
this weekend, but the BBC has learned that membership has fallen | :14:53. | :15:03. | |
:15:03. | :15:04. | ||
to a new low, as Jon Moylan reports. Protests, demonstrations, strikes. | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
2011 saw the greatest number of working days lost to industrial | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
action in more than 20 years. Now the leader of the UK's biggest | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
union is warning of more to come. We would certainly support calls | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
for co-ordinated industrial action on pay and any other issues. This | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
government is intent on trying to make public sector workers and | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
private sector workers, ordinary people, pay the price for a crisis | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
they did not cause. This weekend the annual TUC Congress gets under | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
way in Brighton. That issue of strikes is likely to grab headlines. | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
But trade unions are facing other challenges. Not least the fact that | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
the membership of unions which belong to the TUC have fallen to | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
their lowest level since the 1940s. In the post-war years, trade union | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
ranks swelled. By the end of the 1970s, a decade of widespread | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
unrest, membership had sought a more than 12 million, but under | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
Margaret Thatcher, the decline was swift. It continued under New | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
Labour. Three decades on, numbers have halved to just under 6 million. | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
The TUC says the recent fall is inevitable given hundreds of | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
thousands of jobs are going in the public sector. Ray Pritchard lost | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
his job in the civil service in 2010. If I were still in employment | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
and in that position, I would be very supportive of my fellow | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
colleagues. We would all have to join together in order to fight | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
that single cause. But unions can still pack a punch. More than a | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
million workers walked out last November over the reform of public | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
sector pensions. Now there's talk of similar action in the months | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
ahead over a range of issues including pay. In a statement, the | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
government said it is disappointing that some unions insist on pushing | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
for futile strike action which benefits no one. Pay restraint has | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
helped to protect jobs and public sector and support high quality | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
public services. But at the TUC Congress, unions will say that job | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
cuts and pay restraint leave many with little option but to protest. | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
There may even be bought -- calls for a general strike. | :17:21. | :17:23. | |

warning that the polar ice cap has been melting this summer at its | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
fastest rate for more than 30 years. They claim that without drastic | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
action, the rate of the summer ice melt will only accelerate and that | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
could lead to wetter, stormier summers in the UK. Our science | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
editor, David Shukman, has spent the last few days at a remote | :17:49. | :17:59. | |
:17:59. | :18:01. | ||
Norwegian research station in the A journey through the frozen ocean | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
transformed into slush. This is the high Arctic, where temperatures are | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
rising and the ice is staring. We approached the edge of a glacier. | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
We need to be careful. Like many here, it is shedding great chunks | :18:16. | :18:26. | |
:18:26. | :18:32. | ||
A million fragments fall like buttons. It is now beyond doubt | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
that the Arctic is changing dramatically, with glaciers in | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
retreat and the frozen ocean going through a record melt and although | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
this region is remote, it could have serious repercussions for | :18:44. | :18:51. | |
global weather patterns thousands of miles away. Across the Arctic, | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
scientists are trying to understand what is happening. A helicopter | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
lifts a hi-tech device into the air. It measures the thickness of the | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
ice, a crucial indicator of how long it might last. Results are | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
verified the old-fashioned way, by drilling. Researchers from the | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
Norwegian Polar Institute say the ice is definitely getting thinner. | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
During a break in their expedition, I went on board Demi the scientists. | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
These are cautious people, but they are stunned by the scale of the | :19:21. | :19:29. | |
melt. It is of course amazing. As a scientist I know that this is | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
unprecedented in 1,500 years. It is truly amazing. Huge, dramatic | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
change in the system. This is how much ice, on average, is left at | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
the end of the summer melt. Compare that to what is left now and the | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
melt is still under way. This warning for the Arctic -- warming | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
of the Arctic is so extreme that it could influence the jet stream, | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
shifting its path, which could mean wetter summers for Britain. Where | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
the Arctic Sea ice is reducing in summer, and if we have warmer than | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
average sea surface temperatures in the north-west Atlantic, these | :20:03. | :20:11. | |
factors together League Two storms over the UK in the summer and leads | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
to poor summers. So the ice, sculpted into extraordinary shapes, | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
is getting weaker and is likely to melt at an increasing rate. But the | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
Arctic has warmed up in the past during cycles of natural change. | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
They are playing a part now. But they assembles gathered at a | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
research station show a steep rise in man-made greenhouse gases and | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
scientists say those gases are to blame. There's more and more | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
evidence that the changes we see are caused by mankind. The patterns | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
in the change we see is consistent with what the models say that | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
greenhouse gas warning should give an could give. We find a bearded | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
seal on a tiny iceberg, one of many creatures that need for ice. The | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
ocean will refreeze this winter, but some time soon, there may be a | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
summer with no ice at all. And you can see more video and read | :21:16. | :21:20. | |

The Green Party in England and Wales are holding their annual | :21:33. | :21:35. | |

Bennett. The Australian-born former journalist is taking over from | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
Caroline Lucas, the Green Party's only MP. Ms Bennett said she wanted | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
the Greens to become the third party in Britain, insisting they | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
have the policies for a more equal society. We know that this new | :21:47. | :21:53. | |

for our workers. Britain's Paralympic team has won | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
more medals today. Among the successful athletes was 26-year-old | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
Josie Pearson, who took gold in the discus. However, an attempt by two | :22:10. | :22:13. | |

when Karen Darke a Rachel Morris reached the final stages, there was | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
only one medal remaining. They decided that instead of competing | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
for the bronze, they would share it, holding hands as they cross the | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
line. The judges had other ideas. They ordered a photo finish. Morris | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
was fractionally ahead. Karen Darke was told she would get nothing. | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
Sportsmanship prevailed, only one medal but still big enough for two | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
people to get their teeth into. Bronze is a, that Dutch tennis | :22:56. | :23:02. | |

is talking about. Jonnie Peacock. Reflecting today on the night of | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
his life and one of the highlights of these Paralympics. His victory | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
over Oscar Pistorius made front- page headlines, but he believes | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
that these gains could be as good as it is going to get. Paralympics | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
has got bigger and bigger every year. But I can't see it getting | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
bigger than this. I can't even think for a second how it can get | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
bigger than this. This is huge and it is amazing. If we have half the | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
support we have had for this in Rio, it will be unforgettable. Jonnie | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
Peacock's name is likely to feature in the New year's Honours and while | :24:01. | :24:06. | |

confirmed that Olympians and Paralympians will have their own | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
list to ensure there is no limit on the number of awards handed out. | :24:14. | :24:18. | |

world record. -- Ahmed Naas. Football, and three of the home | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
nations kicked off their World Cup campaigns today with their first | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
qualifiers for Brazil 2014. England, Wales and Northern Ireland were in | :24:35. | :24:43. | |
action. Patrick Gearey was watching. England's road to Brazil begins | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
somewhere off the beaten track. There are tougher parts to cross | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
than Moldova and the visitors were soon travelling at speed. They had | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
a penalty after three minutes. Handball looked harsh, but Lampard | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
showed no pity. Tension eased, time for England to enjoy themselves. No | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
more than Lampard who had a second within 30 minutes. Goals were | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
readily available and Joan -- Jermain Defoe has a sense for them. | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
No more Daven be able to resist England's advances. They were more | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
stubborn after the break and England less insistent. They kept | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
leaving it to each other to score until James Milner hit it in the | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
corner. This was a night when everything went for the visitors, | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
exemplified by Leighton Baines's deflected 5th. An ideal start. | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
Plenty of bright-eyed enthusiasm about the chances of a young Wales | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
team. But some of it wasn't as directed. James Collins's challenge | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
ended his match. He could not afford that disadvantage against a | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
talented Belgian side for whom Vincent Kompany scored the opener. | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
Defeat was unconcerned crashed and burned onto an BOP Jan Vertonghen's | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
late free-kick and Wales must begin again in Serbia on Tuesday. An | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
artificial pitch but a real challenge for Northern Ireland in | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
Russia. He was half an hour before they went behind. Craig Cathcart's | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
second half barge presented Roman Shirokov with the chance for a | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
second. It takes more than that has abjured Northern Ireland fans, but | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
the size of their qualification task has been brought sharply into | :26:17. | :26:21. |
