:05:39. > :05:43.saying this was all a sign of weakness. Well, it is desperate
:05:44. > :05:48.stuff from an organisation that really does do the most utterly
:05:49. > :05:53.despicable and ghastly acts, and people can see that again today. But
:05:54. > :05:58.this is an organisation that is losing territory, losing ground. RAF
:05:59. > :06:04.jets are now striking targets in Syria as well as Iraq, a
:06:05. > :06:09.contribution which the video mocks, describing it as a handful of
:06:10. > :06:12.planes. IS has suffered setbacks recently, for instance losing
:06:13. > :06:16.control of Ramadi in Iraq, but experts are unsure that this new
:06:17. > :06:21.video can really be interpreted as a sign they are in retreat. Islamic
:06:22. > :06:24.State is still very much part of the landscape in the Levant, it is going
:06:25. > :06:27.to be around for a number of years yet, and the idea that the group is
:06:28. > :06:33.some are desperate and as a result is putting out videos is misreading
:06:34. > :06:39.the situation. Here at MI5 headquarters, they are not making
:06:40. > :06:42.any comment on the identity of the killer, but it is another sign of
:06:43. > :06:45.the risks posed by the hundreds of Britons who are thought to have
:06:46. > :06:49.travelled to Syria. Some of those have gone out like these men, to
:06:50. > :06:54.fight. In other cases, women have gone out to marry. Some have taken
:06:55. > :06:58.children or given birth in Syria. This latest video preaches a
:06:59. > :07:03.five-year-old believes to have come from London. The most notorious

:07:17. > :07:20.help of informers. Five men alleged to be spies for Britain are seen
:07:21. > :07:25.being shot dead in the latest video, no doubt to deter others. That is a
:07:26. > :07:27.telling sign of what IS may be afraid of, but it also underscores
:07:28. > :07:37.the group's brutality. What is your understanding of the
:07:38. > :07:41.latest situation? Government officials are being very
:07:42. > :07:44.tight-lipped about what is going on inside the security and intelligence
:07:45. > :07:47.agencies, but we understand there is focus on Siddartha Dhar as
:07:48. > :07:52.potentially the masked man seen in that video, the chief suspect, if
:07:53. > :07:56.you like, of being that killer. Also today, we have heard some discussion
:07:57. > :08:01.about the possible identity of the five-year-old child seen at the end
:08:02. > :08:05.of the video, speaking English briefly. A taxi driver from south
:08:06. > :08:09.London has said that he believes it is his grandson, and that the boy
:08:10. > :08:16.was taken by his mother about four years ago to Syria. She supposedly
:08:17. > :08:20.married a fighter at there who has since died, and she has posted
:08:21. > :08:24.videos of herself and a child on social media, with weapons as well.
:08:25. > :08:29.But I should say there is no official confirmation of either of
:08:30. > :08:34.those identifications. MI5's policy is neither to confirm nor deny any
:08:35. > :08:38.details about such individuals. The reason, they say, is that this is
:08:39. > :08:41.still very much a live investigation. OK, Gordon, thanks

:20:28. > :20:31.prompted by losses in China. The market in Shangai was suspended
:20:32. > :20:35.today after share prices fell That prompted falls across Asia,
:20:36. > :20:41.with Japan's Nikkei The German stock exchange fell
:20:42. > :20:50.by more than 4%, while in London the Ftse 100 index of leading shares
:20:51. > :20:53.lost nearly 2.5% of its value. And a short time ago the markets
:20:54. > :20:56.closed in New York. Our business correspondent
:20:57. > :21:08.Michelle Fleury is there. How was trading there in New York,
:21:09. > :21:12.Michelle? It's been an unhappy start to the new year both inside the New
:21:13. > :21:20.York Stock Exchange and around the global. The Dow Jones undust reel
:21:21. > :21:25.average ended 1. 6% lower recouping some of the losses from the start of
:21:26. > :21:30.the day. The sell-off kicked off in China. It was a report on
:21:31. > :21:34.manufacturing that re-ignited fears of China's economic growth. Many
:21:35. > :21:38.people look to China and say, well, the growth there is still the envy
:21:39. > :21:42.of many countries, but the pace of that is slowing. When you're talking
:21:43. > :21:46.about the world's second largest economy, it matters to the rest of
:21:47. > :21:50.us. Also bothering the markets - oil prices. Rising tensions between
:21:51. > :21:54.Saudi Arabia and Iran playing to those fears. All of these worries
:21:55. > :21:59.aren't new. If you look back to China and its manufacturing report,
:22:00. > :22:03.it's been weak for ten months, but it continues to spook investors. One
:22:04. > :22:07.chief investment strategist put it - it's all about the drama, not the
:22:08. > :22:13.data. OK, Michelle, thanks very much.
:22:14. > :22:15.Heavy rain and strong winds continue to affect parts of northeastern
:22:16. > :22:18.Scotland with warnings of high river levels and large coastal waves.
:22:19. > :22:25.It comes after last week's floods left many people stranded
:22:26. > :22:29.in temporary accommodation or without electricity.
:22:30. > :22:33.The historic Abergeldie Castle near the Balmoral estate
:22:34. > :22:37.is on the brink of collapsing into a swollen river,
:22:38. > :22:41.as our correspondent Lorna Gordon reports.
:22:42. > :22:47.After three days of heavy, persistent rain falling on already
:22:48. > :22:55.saturated ground and filling swollen rivers, this is what you get, houses
:22:56. > :22:59.flooded, roads disappearing under water. People were lifted to safety
:23:00. > :23:06.and residents of two care homes were forced to leave when the waters
:23:07. > :23:11.started rising on all sides. There's approximately 45 people evacuated
:23:12. > :23:15.there and we've been involved in evacuating this other area. How
:23:16. > :23:20.quickly has the water developed? Six inches every hour now. In most
:23:21. > :23:25.areas, river levels never reached the height seen late last week and
:23:26. > :23:30.defences held, as they did here. That little comfort to those whose
:23:31. > :23:35.homes have been flooded. I'm a child minder. I look after a number of
:23:36. > :23:39.children, from tiny ones to older ones. Their parents are having to
:23:40. > :23:44.look for alternative child care at short notice. Not just your home,
:23:45. > :23:49.but your business affected as well Yeah for a good few months. A
:23:50. > :23:53.similar picture where a caravan park was destroyed after the river Dee
:23:54. > :23:56.swept through. Just a few miles along the road and the fearsome
:23:57. > :24:02.force of a flooded river is all too evident. The 1th century -- 16 th
:24:03. > :24:08.century castle stands a few feet from the edge, after a long stretch
:24:09. > :24:12.of bank scythed off into the water. The owners reluctantly forced to
:24:13. > :24:16.leave. I'm told structural engineers have been into the property to
:24:17. > :24:21.assess the damage. What we don't yet know is whether it's possible to
:24:22. > :24:28.shore up the river bank here and stop this historic building slipping
:24:29. > :24:33.into the water. For the emergency services and volunteers, even the
:24:34. > :24:36.darkness brings little respite. So many areas in Scotland coping with
:24:37. > :24:39.the prolonged rain and so many people hoping it will end soon.
:24:40. > :24:42.Lorna Gordon, BBC News. President Obama is about to unveil
:24:43. > :24:45.controversial plans to introduce new gun controls in the US having
:24:46. > :24:48.admitted that his lack of progress on the issue had been one
:24:49. > :24:51.of the greatest regrets The new measures would include
:24:52. > :24:57.tighter background checks and tackling a current loophole
:24:58. > :25:01.which allows firearms to bought without checks at gun shows,
:25:02. > :25:04.as our North America editor, Any guns on you today? Any guns on
:25:05. > :25:14.you guys? The first gun show of the year
:25:15. > :25:17.and people from all walks of life buying weapons and accessories
:25:18. > :25:20.in this multibillion-dollar Why have you brought
:25:21. > :25:25.your gun with you? I am here today to buy
:25:26. > :25:28.a laser sight for my gun. What are the dangers that you think
:25:29. > :25:33.are out of there? It seems like public events
:25:34. > :25:35.of terror and things So I think that I am often
:25:36. > :25:41.with my small children and I think it would make me feel more secure
:25:42. > :25:45.if I had a means of defending myself Fetching pink ruffles,
:25:46. > :25:51.presumably for the women, through to shotguns and revolvers,
:25:52. > :25:54.some for self defence, some for hunting and others,
:25:55. > :25:57.well, one can only guess. Excuse me, can I just ask
:25:58. > :26:06.what this weapon is for? It seems that you can get
:26:07. > :26:14.everything on sale here. But in America, where the right
:26:15. > :26:17.to bear arms is ingrained in the constitution,
:26:18. > :26:20.any moves by the President to tighten the rules
:26:21. > :26:22.will be fiercely resisted. It is only going to make crimes
:26:23. > :26:26.worse, it will only make terrorism It is only going to help
:26:27. > :26:32.the terrorists. Nearly all the dealers in this gun
:26:33. > :26:35.show are registered, which means that if you want to walk
:26:36. > :26:39.out with a hunting rifle like this, you need to complete this
:26:40. > :26:41.Department of Justice form. If that comes back clear,
:26:42. > :26:44.then ten minutes later, you can walk out with the rifle
:26:45. > :26:48.and as much ammunition But if you are a small,
:26:49. > :26:53.non-registered dealer, like John Allgood,
:26:54. > :26:56.there are no background The so-called called
:26:57. > :27:01."gun show loophole". If I wanted to buy this rifle
:27:02. > :27:04.from you, this fine black rifle, for $400, can I just walk out
:27:05. > :27:07.if I give you the money? If you give me the money
:27:08. > :27:10.and show me your driver's license to prove that you are a Maryland
:27:11. > :27:14.resident, I can sell it to you. Are you a convicted felon
:27:15. > :27:19.or is there any reason legally that And I say to you, no
:27:20. > :27:25.reason whatsoever. No reason whatsoever,
:27:26. > :27:28.then I would sell it to you and at the same token,
:27:29. > :27:32.you could lie to me, couldn't you? Mr Allgood, like the President,
:27:33. > :27:36.thinks that is mad. But in America, guns are seen
:27:37. > :27:40.as symbols of freedom and liberty. An intrinsic component
:27:41. > :27:43.to national identity. And it is part of the national
:27:44. > :27:50.psyche from an early age. John Sopel, BBC News,
:27:51. > :27:57.at the Nation's Gun Show. Cricket, and the England all-rounder
:27:58. > :27:59.Ben Stokes says he's unlikely ever to repeat his record-breaking
:28:00. > :28:02.performance at the crease yesterday in the second test
:28:03. > :28:05.against South Africa. His innings of 258 is being
:28:06. > :28:09.described as one of the finest performances ever achieved
:28:10. > :28:11.by an England batsman, as our correspondent
:28:12. > :28:15.Andy Swiss reports. The eyes of the cricketing world
:28:16. > :28:18.are one man: Ben Stokes back in action this morning,
:28:19. > :28:22.hoping to do with the ball what he did so unforgettably
:28:23. > :28:25.with the bat. COMMENTATOR: Down
:28:26. > :28:29.the wicket he comes. Rarely has sport seen a more
:28:30. > :28:38.destructive display, boundaries and records
:28:39. > :28:40.smashed out of sight. COMMENTATOR: It's the second fastest
:28:41. > :28:43.Test double century ever. Well simply he said,
:28:44. > :28:49.to keep his cool. You know, concentrating on hitting
:28:50. > :28:51.more boundaries than running any quick twos, because
:28:52. > :28:53.it's quite a hot day. I can't really describe or put
:28:54. > :28:56.into words what I've done. Stokes' journey to stardom has
:28:57. > :28:58.been an eventful one. He lived in New Zealand
:28:59. > :29:01.until he was 12, where his cricket-playing mum had
:29:02. > :29:04.nurtured his talents even before She was still playing cricket
:29:05. > :29:09.while she carried Ben. I think she played right up
:29:10. > :29:12.until a couple of months before So yeah, I think she's got to take
:29:13. > :29:17.the credit for that one. England's previous fastest double
:29:18. > :29:23.hundred had belonged to this man. ARCHIVE: It's gone straight
:29:24. > :29:26.into the confectionary stall Ian Botham's boys-own heroics
:29:27. > :29:31.captivated a generation, and some believe that all-action,
:29:32. > :29:34.all-rounder now has There will be a lot of bars emptying
:29:35. > :29:41.as soon as people hear Ben Stokes has arrived at the wicket,
:29:42. > :29:44.when he has the ball in hand. He's exactly what
:29:45. > :29:48.English cricket needs. We've found us a few heroes
:29:49. > :29:50.in the England team, but I think we've found
:29:51. > :29:53.a superstar in Ben Stokes. Today though it was
:29:54. > :29:55.back down to earth. No wickets for Stokes
:29:56. > :29:58.as South Africa dominated. Still plenty to smile about,
:29:59. > :30:01.the feel-good factor from one of cricket's most
:30:02. > :30:14.remarkable innings. The remarkable achievement of Ben
:30:15. > :30:19.Stokes. Newsnight on BBC Two will be speaking to Labour's Harriet Harman
:30:20. > :30:24.the former Deputy Leader and acting leader, who wants a change in the
