:00:00. > :00:09.Tonight at Ten - the astronaut Tim Peake is the first Briton

:00:10. > :00:12.to join the International Space Station.

:00:13. > :00:15.This was the moment, the culmination of six years

:00:16. > :00:23.of training, when he joined American and Russian colleagues in space.

:00:24. > :00:30.It was a beautiful launch. That first sunrise was absolutely

:00:31. > :00:33.spectacular. He had taken off this morning

:00:34. > :00:36.from Kazakhstan at the start The former Army pilot will be

:00:37. > :00:41.carrying out a series of scientific experiments for the

:00:42. > :00:44.European Space Agency. His family, watching

:00:45. > :01:01.from the launch centre, Just magical. I am very, very proud

:01:02. > :01:02.and humbled that our sun is up there representing Great Britain. It is

:01:03. > :01:06.wonderful. We will have the latest

:01:07. > :01:08.on the mission from the control A security threat shuts down

:01:09. > :01:14.all public schools in Los Angeles, but some experts say

:01:15. > :01:16.it was just a hoax. A special report from

:01:17. > :01:18.the South China Sea, where poachers are destroying

:01:19. > :01:32.the reefs with the apparent blessing The scene underneath there is

:01:33. > :01:33.unbelievable. They are literally destroying the reef wholesale with

:01:34. > :01:37.these boats. And it is the latest addition

:01:38. > :01:39.in the Star Wars franchise, but was it really

:01:40. > :01:41.worth $4 billion? Later on BBC London -

:01:42. > :01:44.killed in a playground accident. We reveal fresh concerns over

:01:45. > :01:46.the park's safety record. And radical plans for London's

:01:47. > :01:48.healthcare, which could see patients having more say over

:01:49. > :02:09.their treatment. The British astronaut

:02:10. > :02:13.Tim Peake has reached the International Space Station,

:02:14. > :02:16.accompanied by Russian He took off from Kazakstan this

:02:17. > :02:20.morning at the start Mr Peake, a former Army pilot,

:02:21. > :02:25.will be carrying out a series of scientific experiments

:02:26. > :02:30.for the European Space Agency. He is not the first ever

:02:31. > :02:32.British astronaut - But he is the first

:02:33. > :02:37.to officially represent the UK on the International Space Station,

:02:38. > :02:39.as our science correspondent Tim and his fellow crew mates

:02:40. > :02:57.are at the cosmodrome in Baikonur, On the other side of

:02:58. > :03:06.the glass, his family. This will be the last

:03:07. > :03:09.time they will see him, He is waving and smiling

:03:10. > :03:16.and giving the thumbs-up. Next stage - to go on the the bus

:03:17. > :03:24.to go to launch pad. With him, on his left,

:03:25. > :03:27.is his commander, Cosmonaut So how does Rebecca feel a few

:03:28. > :03:36.hours before the launch? I am really happy, you know,

:03:37. > :03:39.it has been a long journey to get We are really excited to get

:03:40. > :03:44.to this stage in the game. I know he is and he looks so ready

:03:45. > :03:48.for it, so it is great. A final wave goodbye,

:03:49. > :03:51.before Tim and the rest of the crew It stands on the same launch pad

:03:52. > :03:59.from which Yuri Gagarin set off to become the first man in space,

:04:00. > :04:04.more than 50 years ago. Lift-off of Tim Kopra,

:04:05. > :04:29.Yuri Malenchenko and Timothy Peake on their way to the

:04:30. > :04:35.International Space Station. So far, getting good first-stage

:04:36. > :04:38.performance, the Soyuz delivering 930,000lb of thrust from its four

:04:39. > :04:45.boosters and single-core engine. First stage of the Soyuz

:04:46. > :04:47.is 68ft in length, 24ft It will be burning liquid

:04:48. > :04:52.fuel for the first two minutes and six

:04:53. > :04:58.seconds of the flight. On the ground, jubilation

:04:59. > :05:02.from his friends and family. It has been such a long time,

:05:03. > :05:09.and he has wanted it for such a long In the capsule, Tim tells

:05:10. > :05:19.us he is feeling fine. The danger from the

:05:20. > :05:28.launch is now over. As the Soyuz capsule

:05:29. > :05:30.approaches the space station, Back on Earth, the moment

:05:31. > :05:57.that Tim's family has been waiting for -

:05:58. > :06:00.a chance to speak to him. It was fantastic to watch

:06:01. > :06:05.that launch today. And there was quite a few parties

:06:06. > :06:11.down on the ground today. I am so glad

:06:12. > :06:14.you guys had a good time. I think you would call today

:06:15. > :06:22.a spectacular day in the office. I think we had a great time

:06:23. > :06:26.in the office, that's for sure. Everybody sends their love

:06:27. > :06:28.and I hope you have After a night's sleep,

:06:29. > :06:33.Tim starts work doing scientific experiments

:06:34. > :06:35.as he begins his six-month So, Tim Peake has started his

:06:36. > :06:48.six-month stay on the International Space Station, and much of that time

:06:49. > :06:51.will be taken up with conducting a wide range of scientific

:06:52. > :06:53.experiments for the Our science editor David Shukman

:06:54. > :07:01.explains the nature of the work, Wild excitement at the Science

:07:02. > :07:08.Museum in London during the launch. 3,000 children caught up in exactly

:07:09. > :07:12.the kind of enthusiasm that Watching very closely,

:07:13. > :07:17.the first Briton to go into space, Tim is going through pretty much

:07:18. > :07:23.what I went through, I did it 24 years ago, and Tim

:07:24. > :07:26.is really going through that now. It brings back all

:07:27. > :07:30.the memories, actually. For the next six months,

:07:31. > :07:34.this will be Tim Peake's home - in orbit, where everything feels

:07:35. > :07:36.weightless, which makes So, you can't wash your

:07:37. > :07:42.hair in the normal way. There are no bedrooms -

:07:43. > :07:51.you zip yourself into a pod. That is good form -

:07:52. > :07:54.our strength and conditioning coach You have to exercise for two

:07:55. > :07:58.hours a day to avoid your So it will be a strange existence

:07:59. > :08:04.on the space station, It is the largest structure

:08:05. > :08:12.ever assembled in space. It is about the size

:08:13. > :08:15.of a football pitch. That might not sound much,

:08:16. > :08:21.but it is beyond the atmosphere and definitely in the hostile

:08:22. > :08:23.environment of space. This outpost of humanity

:08:24. > :08:25.is travelling round earth at 17,500 miles an hour,

:08:26. > :08:29.an extraordinary speed. And then because each circuit

:08:30. > :08:33.round the earth takes 90 minutes, the crew can see at least 15 sun

:08:34. > :08:39.rises and sunsets every single day. Now the space station was built

:08:40. > :08:41.section by section over the last 15 It is a laboratory where Tim Peake

:08:42. > :08:51.will spend much of his time. So let us imagine that we could

:08:52. > :08:55.be right inside it. Filled with experiments that make

:08:56. > :09:00.use of those weightless One project looks at metal alloys,

:09:01. > :09:07.to help work out how they can be improved for the electronic

:09:08. > :09:09.devices that we use. Another is testing if bacteria

:09:10. > :09:12.can survive in space, to see if they could

:09:13. > :09:14.be living on Mars. And there is a study into how fluids

:09:15. > :09:18.behave inside the brain. That could help with faster

:09:19. > :09:23.diagnosis of medical problems. This tip is going

:09:24. > :09:26.to go in your ear... Here in Southampton,

:09:27. > :09:28.they are testing a new system inside the brain, and

:09:29. > :09:32.they are looking forward For decades, the Government

:09:33. > :09:38.never wanted to pay Now, Tim Peake is the first

:09:39. > :09:42.to have official backing, Other astronauts say it will enthuse

:09:43. > :09:54.younger generations. The beautiful part is,

:09:55. > :09:57.they can walk out at dawn and dusk and actually

:09:58. > :09:59.see him go over. A direct personal connection

:10:00. > :10:01.with opportunity which exists We have to invest not just in health

:10:02. > :10:06.and welfare but also in research and development and exploration

:10:07. > :10:08.and opportunities for And the space station to me

:10:09. > :10:12.is the most stunningly successful And here are some of the next

:10:13. > :10:16.generation, at Tim Peake's I can't believe someone

:10:17. > :10:23.from Westbourne primary school is actually going up

:10:24. > :10:25.in space to the national space Are you proud of him?

:10:26. > :10:30.Yes. Really cool that somebody that used

:10:31. > :10:34.to come to our school is actually Until next June, Tim

:10:35. > :10:42.Peake will be in orbit, doing research to help future

:10:43. > :10:46.explorers and at the same time inspiring new scientists, engineers

:10:47. > :10:55.and maybe astronauts as well. Our science correspondent

:10:56. > :10:57.Pallab Ghosh is at the Pallab - could this be

:10:58. > :11:14.the beginning of a bigger role Well, it has obviously been a

:11:15. > :11:21.wonderful day for Tim Peake but it does mark a shift in return you's

:11:22. > :11:24.involvement in space. For decades the UK has opted out of Europe's

:11:25. > :11:30.astronaut programme. But now it is fully engaged in efforts to live and

:11:31. > :11:35.work in space. Critics might argue, is it worth sending people into

:11:36. > :11:38.space? But supporters say that as well as its inspirational value,

:11:39. > :11:44.there are many commercial and technological benefits. The UK space

:11:45. > :11:46.agency hopes that Tim Peake will not be the only astronaut but there will

:11:47. > :11:51.be many more who come after him. Nearly 700,000 pupils at schools

:11:52. > :11:54.in Los Angeles have been told to stay at home for the day

:11:55. > :11:58.because of a security threat. Search teams are being sent

:11:59. > :12:01.in to all schools in the district after the authorities received

:12:02. > :12:04.a threat by email. Officials in New York said they had

:12:05. > :12:07.received the same threat Our correspondent David Willis has

:12:08. > :12:21.the latest from Los Angeles. The buses that take children to

:12:22. > :12:29.school in America's second-largest city were idle today, and the

:12:30. > :12:40.classrooms were empty. We need the co-operation of the whole of Los

:12:41. > :12:44.Angeles today. We need families and neighbours to work together with our

:12:45. > :12:49.schools and our employees to make sure our kids are safe. An e-mail

:12:50. > :12:54.sent to officials warning of attacks on several buildings involving as

:12:55. > :13:00.close its and assault rifles -- involving explosives and assault

:13:01. > :13:04.rifles led to the cancellation of classes for about 1 million

:13:05. > :13:09.students. They have not got in touch with me at all. I am very concerned

:13:10. > :13:13.about his whereabouts. It is the first time that I have ever had to

:13:14. > :13:17.go home because of a school shutting down. Are you nervous? Not really.

:13:18. > :13:23.Less than a fortnight after a husband-and-wife terrorist team

:13:24. > :13:27.killed 14 people in nearby San Bernardino, officials said that

:13:28. > :13:32.attack and the specific nature of the new threat contributed to their

:13:33. > :13:37.decision. The circumstances in the neighbouring San Bernardino, I think

:13:38. > :13:41.what has happened in the nation, I think what happened internationally,

:13:42. > :13:48.I as superintendent am not going to take the chance with the life of a

:13:49. > :13:53.student. It has since emerged that officials in New York received a

:13:54. > :13:58.similar threat but swiftly dismissed it as a hoax. Asked if Los Angeles

:13:59. > :14:01.had overreacted, the Police Commissioner in New York have this

:14:02. > :14:06.to say. Based on the information I am working with, if it is the same

:14:07. > :14:12.information they had, I think yes,. It is what they want, whether it is

:14:13. > :14:16.a prank stuff or a terrorist. They want to instil fear, they want to

:14:17. > :14:23.disrupt the normal routine. Officials here branded the criticism

:14:24. > :14:29.irresponsible. A massive operation to search a 700 square miles radius

:14:30. > :14:37.is under way. But officials are yet to come across anything suspicious.

:14:38. > :14:43.Contrast and reactions from two different coastlines there,

:14:44. > :14:49.highlighting not only the actions here after the San Bernardino

:14:50. > :14:52.shootings, but also the conflicts which can arise after potential

:14:53. > :14:56.intelligence sharing. Normally, the schools behind me would be bustling

:14:57. > :15:02.with activity at this time of the day. It is now in elite white.

:15:03. > :15:05.Officials have said no one will be returning to city schools in Los

:15:06. > :15:09.Angeles until they have been searched and declared safe.

:15:10. > :15:11.Thank you. China's programme of expansion

:15:12. > :15:14.in the South China Sea could produce an arms race involving several

:15:15. > :15:16.nations in the region, according to the commander

:15:17. > :15:19.of the United States Pacific Fleet. As we reported last night,

:15:20. > :15:21.Beijing has built at least seven artificial islands in

:15:22. > :15:24.the South China Sea in the past year, as well as three runways,

:15:25. > :15:26.on a range of reefs The Americans - and others -

:15:27. > :15:31.insist the Chinese are breaking international law by

:15:32. > :15:34.expanding in this way. And the Philippines are accusing

:15:35. > :15:36.China of allowing poachers to plunder the reefs

:15:37. > :15:40.without hindrance. From the Philippine island

:15:41. > :15:41.of Thitu, our correspondent Rupert Wingfield-Hayes has sent

:15:42. > :15:48.this exclusive report. Far out in the middle

:15:49. > :15:53.of the South China Sea, this tiny speck of land

:15:54. > :15:55.we are about to land on But the Philippine

:15:56. > :15:59.military's power barely Less than a mile away,

:16:00. > :16:05.anchored on another reef, these boats we can see

:16:06. > :16:12.here are Chinese poachers. We have come here to

:16:13. > :16:14.investigate reports that under the protection

:16:15. > :16:17.of the Chinese navy, poachers are plundering

:16:18. > :16:21.the reefs out here. So along with China's

:16:22. > :16:23.takeover of the South China Sea has come

:16:24. > :16:27.what the local Filipino fishermen People like these behind me

:16:28. > :16:35.here who have moved in and are stripping

:16:36. > :16:38.the reef of its coral The poachers anchor their boats

:16:39. > :16:48.to the reef and then I asked this man

:16:49. > :16:53.what they are doing. We are looking for

:16:54. > :17:01.sea clams, he says. From up here, it is unclear exactly

:17:02. > :17:05.what they are doing. As soon as we do, the extent

:17:06. > :17:14.of the devastation is revealed. Just a couple of years ago,

:17:15. > :17:19.before the poachers moved in, Now it is being torn to shreds by

:17:20. > :17:28.the poachers. Well, the scene underneath there

:17:29. > :17:31.is just unbelievable. They are literally

:17:32. > :17:34.destroying the reef It has been turned to

:17:35. > :17:43.a desert underneath here. Now the poachers are in the water

:17:44. > :17:49.too, retrieving their prize. A huge giant clam,

:17:50. > :17:59.perhaps 100 years old. They gathered them in a pile

:18:00. > :18:02.on the sea floor ready to be hoisted On the international market,

:18:03. > :18:10.shells like these can sell The Chinese characters

:18:11. > :18:22.on the stern of their motherships show

:18:23. > :18:25.they come from Tanmen, The crew shows no

:18:26. > :18:31.fear of us filming. They know no one is

:18:32. > :18:40.going to stop them. As we leave, we get a glimpse

:18:41. > :18:48.of the reef from above. The long yellow plumes

:18:49. > :18:50.show fresh destruction, and beyond them, what should

:18:51. > :19:07.be an aquamarine reef What is your reading of the

:19:08. > :19:12.conflicting claims now of China's actions in this region? Well, I

:19:13. > :19:17.think for anybody who is watching the rise of China, there is one big

:19:18. > :19:21.important question that they want answered, and that is what sort of

:19:22. > :19:25.great power is China going to be? The Communist Party leadership in

:19:26. > :19:32.Beijing has said it will be a peaceful power, that its neighbours

:19:33. > :19:34.have nothing to worry about, that it will resolve disputes through

:19:35. > :19:38.peaceful negotiation. But what we have started see in the last year

:19:39. > :19:42.and a half in the South China Sea is potentially a different face of

:19:43. > :19:45.China, a country which is prepared to unilaterally and aggressively

:19:46. > :19:54.expand its territory, ignore international law and Billy its

:19:55. > :20:06.smaller neighbours. When it comes to -- when it comes to its neighbours,

:20:07. > :20:09.it will have issues with its neighbours. Thank you.

:20:10. > :20:11.Inflation crept into positive figures last month, with the annual

:20:12. > :20:14.rate, measured by the Consumer Prices Index, rising to 0.1%.

:20:15. > :20:17.The rate has been at or around zero for most of this year,

:20:18. > :20:19.making it the least inflationary year in half a century.

:20:20. > :20:22.It means the Bank of England is now likely to delay a rise

:20:23. > :20:26.Our economics correspondent Andy Verity has more details.

:20:27. > :20:29.It is not just fuel which is getting cheaper before Christmas,

:20:30. > :20:33.Second-hand car prices are 4.6% lower

:20:34. > :20:39.To these buyers they are definitely getting a bargain.

:20:40. > :20:43.They are definitely a lot cheaper, you get a better quality.

:20:44. > :20:46.It is brilliant, you get massive savings.

:20:47. > :20:49.It is definitely a lot better value now.

:20:50. > :20:51.The recent car prices are coming down is the same reason

:20:52. > :20:54.that the price of most goods has been coming down

:20:55. > :20:58.Plentiful supply of the products on offer and less demand,

:20:59. > :21:02.in other words, fewer buyers buying the products,

:21:03. > :21:04.which mean the buyers have the upper hand and they can

:21:05. > :21:09.While second-hand car and fuel prices fell,

:21:10. > :21:12.it was by less than the previous month.

:21:13. > :21:16.One reason why the cost of living overall ticked up by 0.1%.

:21:17. > :21:20.Break that down and goods prices fell by an average of 1.9%,

:21:21. > :21:25.while the price of services rose by 2.4%.

:21:26. > :21:35.Earlier this year, the Bank of England Governor Mark Carney

:21:36. > :21:37.was confident prices would be rising much faster by now.

:21:38. > :21:39.The decision on when to raise interest rates,

:21:40. > :21:41.he said repeatedly, will be thrown into relief

:21:42. > :21:45.We expect inflation to be very low for the next several months.

:21:46. > :21:48.But over the course of the year as we get towards the end,

:21:49. > :21:51.inflation should start to pick up towards our 2% target.

:21:52. > :21:53.That was before the slowdown in economies

:21:54. > :21:56.like Brazil and China which meant less demand worldwide for goods

:21:57. > :21:59.from copper to steal, and therefore lower prices.

:22:00. > :22:04.It also triggered an unexpected second fall in oil prices.

:22:05. > :22:07.Now the betting is the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee

:22:08. > :22:13.I don't think the MPC will be in any hurry to follow the US to raise

:22:14. > :22:23.We think they will probably wait until the New Year.

:22:24. > :22:25.And even then, interest rates will probably

:22:26. > :22:28.That puts us on a different economic path

:22:29. > :22:31.to the United States, where today showed the latest data

:22:32. > :22:35.Tomorrow, the US central bank is widely expected to announce

:22:36. > :22:40.a rise in interest rates, the first in nine years.

:22:41. > :22:43.Tomorrow, Pakistan will remember the victims of one the worst

:22:44. > :22:48.More than 150 people were killed, 132 of them children when Taliban

:22:49. > :22:52.gunmen stormed a military school in Peshawar last December.

:22:53. > :22:55.There are claims from some survivors, that they haven't been

:22:56. > :22:58.given enough support over the past year - as our correspondent

:22:59. > :23:07.This is the massacre that shocked Pakistan,

:23:08. > :23:12.and prompted the army to intensify its war on terror.

:23:13. > :23:15.For this boy, it was the day he lost his mother.

:23:16. > :23:19.She was a teacher at the Army public school.

:23:20. > :23:22.Bakr was wounded in the attack and says the memories
