:00:27. > :00:32.their favourite place at the end of a gloriously sunny bank holiday

:00:32. > :00:36.weekend provides us with a tiny glimmer of light.

:00:36. > :00:40.The Syrian conflict. A UN official says the rebels may have used

:00:40. > :00:44.chemical weapons. The US says it is more likely to be the Assad

:00:44. > :00:47.Government. Lord Lawson says he would vote to

:01:14. > :01:18.Good evening. The brother of a man who was killed along with his eight

:01:18. > :01:22.year-old daughter in a speedboat accident near Padstow in Cornwall

:01:22. > :01:26.says he was an extremely loving father and husband who doted on his

:01:26. > :01:31.family. 51 year-old Nick Bernard Dunne, an executive who worked for

:01:31. > :01:37.BSkyB, was thrown from the boat when it got out of control. -- Nick

:01:37. > :01:41.Milligan. For 51 year-old Nick Milligan, it

:01:41. > :01:45.should have been a holiday in the post he held dear with the young

:01:45. > :01:49.family he loved. Instead a sunny trip out on the sea turned into

:01:49. > :01:51.tragedy. Teams of coast guards have been scouring the shoreline,

:01:51. > :01:57.looking for anything that could help piece together exactly what

:01:57. > :02:00.happened when the executive's speedboat span out of control

:02:00. > :02:05.yesterday afternoon. The family were also tipped into the sea.

:02:05. > :02:08.Instead of stopping, the empty boat continued to circle, ploughing into

:02:08. > :02:18.the group several times, killing Nick Milligan and his eight year-

:02:18. > :02:22.old daughter. It was just off the harbour here in the estuary that

:02:22. > :02:27.eyewitnesses watched in horror as the drama unfolded. Nick Milligan's

:02:27. > :02:32.brother said that knowing that they died in a place they loved gave the

:02:32. > :02:39.family are some comfort. We spent many years in Cornwall and a few

:02:39. > :02:46.years ago, he built his dream home above the bay. That he and my

:02:46. > :02:52.delight full niece died at the end of a sunny bank holiday weekend

:02:52. > :02:57.gives us a glimmer of hope. People tried to save the family. One man

:02:57. > :03:01.tried to jump on board the boat and cut the engine. Without their help,

:03:01. > :03:04.police officers say more would have died. If people had not come to

:03:04. > :03:11.their assistance in the manner they did, I am confident this incident

:03:11. > :03:14.would have been far worse in terms of the overall death toll. The 39

:03:14. > :03:19.year-old woman believed to be Nick Milligan's wife and their three

:03:19. > :03:23.children were thrown to hospital. Police say she has like changing

:03:23. > :03:27.injuries along with a four year old boy. The two girls have minor

:03:27. > :03:30.injuries. The investigation into what happened is well under way.

:03:30. > :03:33.Police are looking at whether the driver of the boat was wearing a

:03:33. > :03:38.court which would have cut the engine automatically if they fell

:03:38. > :03:42.overboard and if it was working properly. Police are appealing for

:03:42. > :03:45.anyone with video evidence to come forward.

:03:45. > :03:49.A United Nations Commission on Syria has stressed it has no

:03:49. > :03:53.conclusive evidence yet that chemical weapons have been used by

:03:53. > :03:58.either side in a conflict. It follows comments by one of the team,

:03:58. > :04:02.Carla del Ponte, suggesting that rebels may have used a nerve agent.

:04:02. > :04:08.The White House said that any use of chemical weapons was more likely

:04:08. > :04:13.to have come from the Assad Government.

:04:13. > :04:20.There are an increasingly desperate array of rebel groups in Syria.

:04:20. > :04:24.Fire-fighting like this in Aleppo these days is part of everyday life.

:04:24. > :04:30.But now a senior UN official says testimony gathered by victims from

:04:30. > :04:37.her human rights team suggests that some rebel groups may have got hold

:04:37. > :04:46.of and used sarin nerve gas. I was a little bit stupefied that the

:04:46. > :04:49.first indication we got was the use of nerve gas by the opponents.

:04:49. > :04:54.investigating team has not been allowed inside cereal. Their

:04:54. > :05:00.evidence is gathered at second hand from victims and doctors at the

:05:00. > :05:03.crowded refugee camps across the border where so many have fled. The

:05:03. > :05:06.UN stressed that these latest findings are not conclusive and

:05:06. > :05:11.there is no proof that chemical weapons have been used by either

:05:11. > :05:16.side. But pictures of victims clearly in distress do suggest that

:05:16. > :05:21.there may have been instances where chemical agents have been used. One

:05:21. > :05:25.attack took place in a part of Aleppo, it is alleged, inhabited by

:05:25. > :05:28.Syrian Kurds. The leader of the main Kurdish opposition party was

:05:29. > :05:34.in London today. They are holding their own investigation into the

:05:34. > :05:38.attack. We are still investigating. We don't know who used it, the

:05:38. > :05:43.opposition or the Government. We're not sure yet. We are sure that a

:05:43. > :05:50.chemical weapon was used. If the rebels did use chemical weapons,

:05:50. > :05:55.why would they? To blame the Government, to blame the regime, to

:05:55. > :05:58.show that the regime used them. tonight the White House insisted

:05:58. > :06:03.that it was much more likely that President Assad's Government was

:06:04. > :06:08.responsible. We are highly sceptical of suggestions that the

:06:08. > :06:16.opposition could have or did use chemical weapons. We find it highly

:06:16. > :06:20.likely that any chemical weapon used that has taken place in Syria

:06:20. > :06:23.was done by the Assad regime and that remains our position.

:06:23. > :06:27.Meanwhile the conflict continues to escalate. This was the destruction

:06:27. > :06:31.wrought by the second Israeli strike in 48 hours. A massive

:06:31. > :06:36.attack which seems to have hit three separate military

:06:36. > :06:40.installations. The Syrian Government has called it an act of

:06:40. > :06:45.war. The former Conservative Chancellor

:06:45. > :06:49.Lord Lawson has said Britain should leave the EU. In an article for the

:06:49. > :06:52.Times is paper he said that any changes that the Prime Minister can

:06:52. > :06:55.negotiate on any changes with the European Union would be

:06:55. > :06:59.inconsequential and if there is a referendum in 2017, he would be

:06:59. > :07:04.voting to leave. Conservative ministers have said the Government

:07:04. > :07:08.will publish a draft bill to underline David Cameron's

:07:08. > :07:12.commitment to holding a referendum in the next Parliament. How

:07:12. > :07:16.significant is Lord Lawson's intervention in this? Lord Lawson

:07:16. > :07:20.is forthright in his article for the Times. He says that he believes

:07:20. > :07:25.that although back in 1975 who voted to stay in the Common Market,

:07:25. > :07:30.as it then was, if there is a referendum in 2017, he will be

:07:30. > :07:34.voting out. His argument is that the fundamental nature of the

:07:34. > :07:39.European Union has changed with the creation of the eurozone. He says

:07:39. > :07:43.Britain is marginalised, frequently averted by members of the EU, and

:07:43. > :07:47.he is very dismissive of David Cameron's prospect of changing the

:07:47. > :07:51.terms of our membership of the European Union. He believes any

:07:51. > :07:54.changes would be inconsequential. He says there is a clear case for

:07:54. > :07:59.an exit. He says in fact the economic gains would outweigh the

:07:59. > :08:02.costs. Lord Lawson is the most senior Conservative to argue for

:08:02. > :08:07.pulling out of the EU at a time when the party is really under

:08:07. > :08:11.pressure to toughen its stance, after the rise of UKIP. But David

:08:11. > :08:14.Cameron has promised a referendum if he is re-elected as Prime

:08:14. > :08:21.Minister and sauces are making it clear there could be a draft bill

:08:21. > :08:25.before the re-election to give British people their say.

:08:25. > :08:29.A woman has gone on trial in Germany accused of being involved

:08:29. > :08:34.in the killing of 10 people while she was a member of a neo-Nazi

:08:34. > :08:38.group. Beate Zschaepe denies the murders of mainly Turkish

:08:38. > :08:42.immigrants over several years, and bombings in immigrant areas and a

:08:42. > :08:45.string of bank robberies. David Cameron is holding an

:08:45. > :08:47.international conference on Somalia tomorrow aimed at getting more

:08:47. > :08:52.direct funding to support the Somali Government rebuilding the

:08:52. > :08:56.country after years of civil war with Islamist rebels. The UK

:08:56. > :09:01.already gives a �2 million a year in aid. Our correspondent begins

:09:01. > :09:08.his report in a town just outside Mogadishu on the progress made in

:09:08. > :09:12.restoring order to the country. We are heading into the Somali

:09:12. > :09:21.countryside. Until a few months ago, all this territory was held by

:09:21. > :09:27.Islamist militants linked to Al- Qaeda. But outside this market town

:09:27. > :09:33.is peaceful. The locals are tried to get used to something that

:09:33. > :09:39.anarchic Somalia has not had for 20 years, a proper central Government.

:09:39. > :09:46.The new police chief tells me: The Islamists are gone forever. We will

:09:46. > :09:50.not allow them back. To that end, a National Army and police force,

:09:50. > :09:55.heavily funded by the West, are taking shape. There is hope in the

:09:55. > :09:59.air. There is no doubt the security situation here has improved

:09:59. > :10:05.dramatically in recent months. This could be the best chance Somalia

:10:05. > :10:11.has had for peace in a generation but it is not a done deal. Somalia,

:10:11. > :10:16.after all, is a broken country. Then people, they don't have a job.

:10:16. > :10:19.They are doing nothing. They finish high school, they don't have

:10:19. > :10:25.university, they have nothing. They stay at home and play football.

:10:25. > :10:31.That is it. I am one of them, the young people. And you have no job?

:10:31. > :10:38.I have no job. And these men, the Islamist militants of Al Shabaab,

:10:38. > :10:45.continue to recruit and attack. Yesterday it was this bomb blast in

:10:45. > :10:48.the capital, Mogadishu, with some 30 civilian casualties. Somalia's

:10:48. > :10:52.new leaders will be in London tomorrow asking for more money from

:10:52. > :10:59.Britain and others. Corruption is a problem here but the West cannot

:10:59. > :11:06.afford to abandon Somalia again. Somalia has been an awful threat

:11:06. > :11:13.for the last 22 years. We are rebuilding Somalia. Therefore the

:11:13. > :11:16.cost that we ask may not be something small. Outside they are

:11:16. > :11:24.already clearing away the wreckage of the car bomb. This remains a

:11:24. > :11:29.dangerous country. But it has a new sense of purpose.

:11:29. > :11:32.The BBC is to hold a separate free- standing investigation into how the

:11:32. > :11:36.broadcaster Stuart Hall was able to indecently assault more than a

:11:36. > :11:41.dozen girls were employed by the corporation. His behaviour was to

:11:41. > :11:46.be looked at by Dame Janet Smith, the QC overseeing a review of the

:11:46. > :11:52.BBC's culture and practices in a 79 and eighties in the wake of the

:11:52. > :11:55.Jimmy Savile scandal. -- in the 70s. Because she knows one of Stuart

:11:55. > :11:58.Law's managers, there will be a different review that will feed

:11:58. > :12:04.into it. Helen Mirren has been describing

:12:04. > :12:08.why she swore at a group of street drummers that disturb to a betrayal

:12:08. > :12:13.of the Queen on Saturday night. She left the theatre during the

:12:13. > :12:16.interval of The Audience to confront the musicians. The irony

:12:16. > :12:21.is that I love running and in another situation I would have been

:12:21. > :12:26.out here enjoying it with all the punters. Unfortunately I was having

:12:26. > :12:31.to do a play at the same time. Helen Mirren.

:12:31. > :12:35.Ronnie O'Sullivan has won snooker's World Championship for a 5th time,

:12:35. > :12:38.beating Barry Hawkins 18 frames to 12 at the Crucible Theatre

:12:38. > :12:43.Sheffield. O'Sullivan has barely played since winning the world

:12:43. > :12:46.title last year. After collecting a cheque for �250,000 this evening,

:12:46. > :12:51.he refused to be drawn on whether he would return to defend his title

:12:51. > :12:56.next year. Ronnie O'Sullivan, snooker's most

:12:56. > :13:00.gifted man and most confusing. 11 months out of the sport on

:13:00. > :13:05.sabbatical and then straight back into the world snooker final. It is

:13:05. > :13:09.no wonder everyone wants to watch it. Leading 10-7 overnight, he

:13:09. > :13:18.lived up to his nickname, the Rocket. He extended his lead to 13

:13:18. > :13:22.-9, with a brisk break of one other than 33. -- 133. Barry Hawkins was

:13:22. > :13:28.doing his best but O'Sullivan is possible to match at his best. This

:13:28. > :13:34.double set him up for a record six century of the final. This match

:13:34. > :13:39.was not just about one man. Barry Hawkins was a gutsy opponent and he

:13:39. > :13:44.pushed to the end, getting a break of 127. But O'Sullivan could not be

:13:44. > :13:52.stopped. On his way to another century, he proved he is human. The

:13:52. > :13:56.world title is still his for a 5th time. Kind of bored sitting on the

:13:56. > :14:01.sidelines, nothing going on. Something to keep me busy for the

:14:01. > :14:04.next six weeks, preparing for the world. And then obviously coming

:14:04. > :14:10.here, I like Sheffield, I love the tournament, I love being at the

:14:10. > :14:15.Crucible. So it has been a nice eight weeks. Talk of retirement is
