Good afternoon. Syrian opposition activists claim at least 200 bodies | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
have been found in the town of Daraya, on the outskirts of the | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
capital, Damascus. They say most appear to have been | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
executed. Let's speak to our correspondent Barbara Plett, who is | :00:32. | :00:40. | |
in Beirut. What evidence is there to suggest a | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
massacre has taken place? It is impossible to confirm this | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
independently, but it fits a pattern of what we have been | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
hearing of government attacks against rebel-held areas in | :00:53. | :01:00. | |
Damascus. It bombards the area heavily, then send in ground troops. | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
When the locals go back in, the report finding bodies. Opposition | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
activists say most of these bodies were found in basements or | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
buildings, they appear to have been killed execution style. There have | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
been some videos posted of bodies lined up in a mosque. If this | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
number is correct, 200, it would be the largest a trusted reported so | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
far. The government has not denied any charges, it says it has | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
purified the area of armed terrorist elements, its name for | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
rebels. It seems to be employing overwhelming force for a definitive | :01:41. | :01:51. | |
:01:51. | :01:58. | ||
defeat against the rebels. But the rebels are adopting mobile tactics. | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
The Duke of Edinburgh has joined the royal family for morning | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
service at Crathie Kirk near Balmoral. It was the first public | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
appearance by the Prince, after spending five nights in hospital | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
earlier this month in Aberdeen, being treated for a bladder | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
infection. Our correspondent Colin Wight is at Crathie Kirk. Many | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
well-wishers were out to see him this morning. Yes, quite a large | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
turnout from the public and the press, as the Duke of Edinburgh | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
arrived this morning, hoping to catch a glimpse. He arrived here at | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
Crathie Kirk half an hour ago. Preceded by Prince Charles, Camilla, | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
the Queen with the Duke of Edinburgh, and after that, the | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
Count and Countess of Wessex. We caught a glimpse of him, it is hard | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
to say how he was. He looked well enough. He will be enjoying the | :02:46. | :02:56. | |
:02:56. | :02:56. | ||
surroundings in Balmoral. He will be in church this morning. The Duke | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
of Edinburgh has made his first public appearance. He will be | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
appearing again we pursue this coming Saturday, depending on how | :03:05. | :03:14. | |
his health is. Roman Catholic priests have read out a letter in | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
each of the Church's parishes in Scotland this morning, criticising | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
the Scottish government for its intention to introduce gay marriage. | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
The Church has declared today National Marriage Sunday. Here's | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
our religious affairs correspondent, Robert Pigott. | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
Last week, the Roman Catholic leader in Scotland escalated the | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
dispute about gay marriage by publicly snubbing the First | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
Minister Alex Salmond. Today, Cardinal O'Brien has circulated a | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
letter to all 500 Roman Catholic parishes in Scotland, a further | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
sign he is ready to recruit the Church rank and file in a political | :03:47. | :03:57. | |
:03:57. | :04:16. | ||
campaign. The letter from all of The Church has declared today | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
National Marriage Sunday, and announced the launch of a National | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
Commission for marriage in the family to co-ordinated campaign | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
against same-sex marriage. It appealed to Roman Catholics to take | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
action against the introduction of gay marriage. The Scottish | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
Government said creating same-sex marriage was the right thing to do, | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
and it would proceed. But it stressed no clergy would be forced | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
to carry them out. Cardinal O'Brien who, in March, described gay | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
marriage as a grotesque sub version, is showing that he is determined to | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
do whatever it takes to prevent the legislation succeeding. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
Olympic organisers say they're doing more than ever to provide | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
access for disabled people to the Paralympics in London, following | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
criticism that wheelchair users face extra charges for calling a | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
phone line, to get tickets. This morning, the Culture Secretary | :05:06. | :05:14. | |
Jeremy Hunt defended the arrangements. | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
What has happened is that we set up a special line so that people who | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
have particular issues about how they attend the Games, have a | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
dedicated line they can call. We want that to work as effectively as | :05:28. | :05:33. |
