The father of four killed with his daughter in a speedboat accident in | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
Cornwall is formally identified. Nick Milligan and other members of | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
his family were thrown from the boat. His brother paid tribute to | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
him and his daughter today. That he and my delight for these died in | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
their favourite place at the end of a gloriously sunny bank holiday | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
weekend provides us with a tiny glimmer of light. | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
The Syrian conflict. A UN official says the rebels may have used | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
chemical weapons. The US says it is more likely to be the Assad | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
Government. Lord Lawson says he would vote to | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
leave the European Union in a referendum. | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
And the return of the Rocket. Ronnie O'Sullivan wins the World | :00:51. | :01:01. | |

Good evening. The brother of a man who was killed along with his eight | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
year-old daughter in a speedboat accident near Padstow in Cornwall | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
says he was an extremely loving father and husband who doted on his | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
family. 51 year-old Nick Bernard Dunne, an executive who worked for | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
BSkyB, was thrown from the boat when it got out of control. -- Nick | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
Milligan. For 51 year-old Nick Milligan, it | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
should have been a holiday in the post he held dear with the young | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
family he loved. Instead a sunny trip out on the sea turned into | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
tragedy. Teams of coast guards have been scouring the shoreline, | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
looking for anything that could help piece together exactly what | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
happened when the executive's speedboat span out of control | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
yesterday afternoon. The family were also tipped into the sea. | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
Instead of stopping, the empty boat continued to circle, ploughing into | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
the group several times, killing Nick Milligan and his eight year- | :02:08. | :02:18. | |
old daughter. It was just off the harbour here in the estuary that | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
eyewitnesses watched in horror as the drama unfolded. Nick Milligan's | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
brother said that knowing that they died in a place they loved gave the | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
family are some comfort. We spent many years in Cornwall and a few | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
years ago, he built his dream home above the bay. That he and my | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
delight full niece died at the end of a sunny bank holiday weekend | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
gives us a glimmer of hope. People tried to save the family. One man | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
tried to jump on board the boat and cut the engine. Without their help, | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
police officers say more would have died. If people had not come to | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
their assistance in the manner they did, I am confident this incident | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
would have been far worse in terms of the overall death toll. The 39 | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
year-old woman believed to be Nick Milligan's wife and their three | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
children were thrown to hospital. Police say she has like changing | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
injuries along with a four year old boy. The two girls have minor | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
injuries. The investigation into what happened is well under way. | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
Police are looking at whether the driver of the boat was wearing a | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
court which would have cut the engine automatically if they fell | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
overboard and if it was working properly. Police are appealing for | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
anyone with video evidence to come forward. | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
A United Nations Commission on Syria has stressed it has no | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
conclusive evidence yet that chemical weapons have been used by | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
either side in a conflict. It follows comments by one of the team, | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
Carla del Ponte, suggesting that rebels may have used a nerve agent. | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
The White House said that any use of chemical weapons was more likely | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
to have come from the Assad Government. | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
There are an increasingly desperate array of rebel groups in Syria. | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
Fire-fighting like this in Aleppo these days is part of everyday life. | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
But now a senior UN official says testimony gathered by victims from | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
her human rights team suggests that some rebel groups may have got hold | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
of and used sarin nerve gas. I was a little bit stupefied that the | :04:37. | :04:46. | |
first indication we got was the use of nerve gas by the opponents. | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
investigating team has not been allowed inside cereal. Their | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
evidence is gathered at second hand from victims and doctors at the | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
crowded refugee camps across the border where so many have fled. The | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
UN stressed that these latest findings are not conclusive and | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
there is no proof that chemical weapons have been used by either | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
side. But pictures of victims clearly in distress do suggest that | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
there may have been instances where chemical agents have been used. One | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
attack took place in a part of Aleppo, it is alleged, inhabited by | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
Syrian Kurds. The leader of the main Kurdish opposition party was | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
in London today. They are holding their own investigation into the | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
attack. We are still investigating. We don't know who used it, the | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
opposition or the Government. We're not sure yet. We are sure that a | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
chemical weapon was used. If the rebels did use chemical weapons, | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
why would they? To blame the Government, to blame the regime, to | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
show that the regime used them. tonight the White House insisted | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
that it was much more likely that President Assad's Government was | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
responsible. We are highly sceptical of suggestions that the | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
opposition could have or did use chemical weapons. We find it highly | :06:08. | :06:16. | |
likely that any chemical weapon used that has taken place in Syria | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
was done by the Assad regime and that remains our position. | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
Meanwhile the conflict continues to escalate. This was the destruction | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
wrought by the second Israeli strike in 48 hours. A massive | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
attack which seems to have hit three separate military | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
installations. The Syrian Government has called it an act of | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
war. The former Conservative Chancellor | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
Lord Lawson has said Britain should leave the EU. In an article for the | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
Times is paper he said that any changes that the Prime Minister can | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
negotiate on any changes with the European Union would be | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
inconsequential and if there is a referendum in 2017, he would be | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
voting to leave. Conservative ministers have said the Government | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
will publish a draft bill to underline David Cameron's | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
commitment to holding a referendum in the next Parliament. How | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
significant is Lord Lawson's intervention in this? Lord Lawson | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
is forthright in his article for the Times. He says that he believes | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
that although back in 1975 who voted to stay in the Common Market, | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
as it then was, if there is a referendum in 2017, he will be | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
voting out. His argument is that the fundamental nature of the | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
European Union has changed with the creation of the eurozone. He says | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
Britain is marginalised, frequently averted by members of the EU, and | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
he is very dismissive of David Cameron's prospect of changing the | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
terms of our membership of the European Union. He believes any | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
changes would be inconsequential. He says there is a clear case for | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
an exit. He says in fact the economic gains would outweigh the | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
costs. Lord Lawson is the most senior Conservative to argue for | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
pulling out of the EU at a time when the party is really under | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
pressure to toughen its stance, after the rise of UKIP. But David | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
Cameron has promised a referendum if he is re-elected as Prime | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
Minister and sauces are making it clear there could be a draft bill | :08:14. | :08:21. | |
before the re-election to give British people their say. | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
A woman has gone on trial in Germany accused of being involved | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
in the killing of 10 people while she was a member of a neo-Nazi | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
group. Beate Zschaepe denies the murders of mainly Turkish | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
immigrants over several years, and bombings in immigrant areas and a | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
string of bank robberies. David Cameron is holding an | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
international conference on Somalia tomorrow aimed at getting more | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
direct funding to support the Somali Government rebuilding the | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
country after years of civil war with Islamist rebels. The UK | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
already gives a �2 million a year in aid. Our correspondent begins | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
his report in a town just outside Mogadishu on the progress made in | :09:01. | :09:08. | |
restoring order to the country. We are heading into the Somali | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
countryside. Until a few months ago, all this territory was held by | :09:12. | :09:21. | |
Islamist militants linked to Al- Qaeda. But outside this market town | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
is peaceful. The locals are tried to get used to something that | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
anarchic Somalia has not had for 20 years, a proper central Government. | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
The new police chief tells me: The Islamists are gone forever. We will | :09:39. | :09:46. | |
not allow them back. To that end, a National Army and police force, | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
heavily funded by the West, are taking shape. There is hope in the | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
air. There is no doubt the security situation here has improved | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
dramatically in recent months. This could be the best chance Somalia | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
has had for peace in a generation but it is not a done deal. Somalia, | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
after all, is a broken country. Then people, they don't have a job. | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
They are doing nothing. They finish high school, they don't have | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
university, they have nothing. They stay at home and play football. | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
That is it. I am one of them, the young people. And you have no job? | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
I have no job. And these men, the Islamist militants of Al Shabaab, | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
continue to recruit and attack. Yesterday it was this bomb blast in | :10:38. | :10:45. | |
the capital, Mogadishu, with some 30 civilian casualties. Somalia's | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
new leaders will be in London tomorrow asking for more money from | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
Britain and others. Corruption is a problem here but the West cannot | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
afford to abandon Somalia again. Somalia has been an awful threat | :10:59. | :11:06. | |
for the last 22 years. We are rebuilding Somalia. Therefore the | :11:06. | :11:13. | |
cost that we ask may not be something small. Outside they are | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
already clearing away the wreckage of the car bomb. This remains a | :11:16. | :11:24. | |
dangerous country. But it has a new sense of purpose. | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
The BBC is to hold a separate free- standing investigation into how the | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
broadcaster Stuart Hall was able to indecently assault more than a | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
dozen girls were employed by the corporation. His behaviour was to | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
be looked at by Dame Janet Smith, the QC overseeing a review of the | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
BBC's culture and practices in a 79 and eighties in the wake of the | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
Jimmy Savile scandal. -- in the 70s. Because she knows one of Stuart | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
Law's managers, there will be a different review that will feed | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
into it. Helen Mirren has been describing | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
why she swore at a group of street drummers that disturb to a betrayal | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
of the Queen on Saturday night. She left the theatre during the | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
interval of The Audience to confront the musicians. The irony | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
is that I love running and in another situation I would have been | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
out here enjoying it with all the punters. Unfortunately I was having | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
to do a play at the same time. Helen Mirren. | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
Ronnie O'Sullivan has won snooker's World Championship for a 5th time, | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
beating Barry Hawkins 18 frames to 12 at the Crucible Theatre | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
Sheffield. O'Sullivan has barely played since winning the world | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
title last year. After collecting a cheque for �250,000 this evening, | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
he refused to be drawn on whether he would return to defend his title | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
next year. Ronnie O'Sullivan, snooker's most | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
gifted man and most confusing. 11 months out of the sport on | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
sabbatical and then straight back into the world snooker final. It is | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
no wonder everyone wants to watch it. Leading 10-7 overnight, he | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
lived up to his nickname, the Rocket. He extended his lead to 13 | :13:09. | :13:18. | |
-9, with a brisk break of one other than 33. -- 133. Barry Hawkins was | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
doing his best but O'Sullivan is possible to match at his best. This | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
double set him up for a record six century of the final. This match | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
was not just about one man. Barry Hawkins was a gutsy opponent and he | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
pushed to the end, getting a break of 127. But O'Sullivan could not be | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
stopped. On his way to another century, he proved he is human. The | :13:44. | :13:52. | |
world title is still his for a 5th time. Kind of bored sitting on the | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
sidelines, nothing going on. Something to keep me busy for the | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
next six weeks, preparing for the world. And then obviously coming | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
here, I like Sheffield, I love the tournament, I love being at the | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
Crucible. So it has been a nice eight weeks. Talk of retirement is | :14:10. | :14:15. |
