:00:23. > :00:26.Good afternoon. 30,000 people have spent the day

:00:26. > :00:29.marching in Belfast to mark one of the most significant periods in

:00:29. > :00:31.Unionist history. It's the 100th anniversary of the Ulster Covenant,

:00:31. > :00:35.which rejected home-rule and has involved the biggest policing

:00:35. > :00:45.operation in Northern Ireland for 20 years. Our Ireland correspondent,

:00:45. > :00:51.Mark Simpson, reports. They came from every county in

:00:51. > :00:59.Northern Ireland. And they filled every corner of Belfast city centre.

:00:59. > :01:04.The largest Unionist parade the 20 years. 30,000 marchers and more

:01:04. > :01:09.than 100 Protestant bands, marching to Stormont. A six-mile journey to

:01:09. > :01:13.mark a moment in history. We are celebrating the centenary of

:01:13. > :01:16.Northern Ireland's birth certificate. We have been around

:01:16. > :01:21.for 100 years as part of the United Kingdom and we intend to stay that

:01:21. > :01:29.way. This is what they are remembering, the signing of the

:01:29. > :01:34.Ulster covenants in 1912. Based at the prospect of Irish Home Rule,

:01:34. > :01:39.they pledged to remain British. Today, the signing was re-enacted.

:01:39. > :01:44.Away from the pomp and ceremony, there was tension in Belfast as

:01:44. > :01:50.part of the parade past a Catholic church. There was a protest and

:01:50. > :01:55.claims the march was insulting. was not overly provocative, but

:01:55. > :02:00.there were certainly elements that appeared to be insulting. Maybe not

:02:00. > :02:05.as respected as it could have been. In spite of the progress made in

:02:05. > :02:10.Belfast, today has been a reminder that parts of the city remain

:02:10. > :02:14.bitterly divided. But the police have been pleased with how it has

:02:14. > :02:20.gone so far. I have seen a lot of people with smiles on their faces

:02:20. > :02:24.watching it and participating. I think at the moment what we are

:02:24. > :02:29.seeing is a dignified parade, and I am very grateful for that.

:02:29. > :02:35.Unionists, it has been a day to remember. A celebration of their

:02:35. > :02:38.long history and a time to look back as well as forward.

:02:38. > :02:40.The Sussex schoolgirl, Megan Stammers, who went missing in

:02:40. > :02:44.France with her teacher, flew back to Britain this afternoon. Megan,

:02:44. > :02:47.who's 15, boarded an aircraft in Bordeaux. The teacher, Jeremy

:02:47. > :02:51.Forrest, who's being questioned by French police, says he won't fight

:02:51. > :03:01.extradition. Our correspondent, Andy Moore, is outside Sussex

:03:01. > :03:05.police headquarters in Lewes. What more can you tell us at this stage?

:03:06. > :03:10.We understand Megan is back on UK soul and has been reunited with her

:03:10. > :03:15.family. Arvo it has not been officially confirmed. The family

:03:15. > :03:20.are asking for privacy. She got on the aeroplane this afternoon and it

:03:20. > :03:25.arrived at Gatwick Airport about an hour and a half ago. It is unlikely

:03:25. > :03:32.making a will go back to the family home in Sussex in Eastbourne. In

:03:32. > :03:38.France, Jeremy Forrest is under arrest, arrested under the European

:03:38. > :03:41.arrest warrant. He is due in court again on Tuesday. His lawyer says

:03:42. > :03:46.he won't contest extradition and is happy to come back to the UK will

:03:46. > :03:50.stop his lawyer said he is being treated well at the detention

:03:50. > :03:54.centre and as to his mental condition, he was a little unwell

:03:54. > :03:58.and a little upset. The Labour leader, Ed Miliband,

:03:58. > :04:00.says the country is facing a "genuine economic emergency".

:04:00. > :04:03.Speaking ahead of the Labour Party Conference, which starts tomorrow

:04:03. > :04:05.in Manchester, he acknowledged a Labour government wouldn't be able

:04:05. > :04:14.to reverse all public spending cuts. Our political correspondent, Gary

:04:14. > :04:18.O'Donoguhue, reports. His party may be riding high in the

:04:19. > :04:23.polls, but as Ed Miliband and his family arrived in Manchester, he

:04:23. > :04:27.knows there is a long way to go before Labour is seen as a

:04:27. > :04:33.Government in waiting. Taking questions at a local school this

:04:33. > :04:38.afternoon, he reinforced his claim to be on the side of hard-working

:04:38. > :04:43.families by setting out fans -- plans to force energy companies to

:04:43. > :04:49.pass on falls in the price of oil and gas. But he warned Labour would

:04:49. > :04:54.have some tough decisions. We have shown in this Parliament how we can

:04:54. > :05:00.say, and people won't like this, we can put jobs in the public sector

:05:00. > :05:04.ahead of pay rises. You mentioned about maybe having to pick jobs

:05:04. > :05:11.over paid if you come into Government? What would you say to

:05:11. > :05:16.the people joining the ranks of the working poor? I don't claim to have

:05:16. > :05:21.a magic wand. What this Government is doing now is causing an

:05:21. > :05:24.tightening working poverty. Every leader wants to be on the side of

:05:24. > :05:28.heart working families and Ed Miliband is no different. But some

:05:28. > :05:32.in the party believe he cannot do that if he takes such a hard line

:05:32. > :05:38.on public sector pay. Some union leaders will use this week to tell

:05:38. > :05:43.him. But more important than this internal battle, this will be aimed

:05:43. > :05:48.at showcasing Labour's ideas to a public which remain sceptical on

:05:48. > :05:52.the question of economic competence. And for Ed Miliband himself, free

:05:52. > :05:57.of any internal speculation of his leadership, will be able to

:05:57. > :05:59.translate two years of thinking into ideas people can understand.

:05:59. > :06:02.Reports from Nepal say the authorities there now believe that

:06:02. > :06:06.pilot error caused yesterday's plane crash, in which seven Britons

:06:06. > :06:09.died. Initially, officials had said they thought a bird strike was

:06:09. > :06:19.responsible for bringing down the plane shortly after it took off

:06:19. > :06:25.

:06:25. > :06:28.from Kathmandu. At least ten people are now known

:06:28. > :06:30.to have died after torrential rain caused flash flooding in southern

:06:30. > :06:32.Spain. Hundreds of people, including British tourists, have

:06:33. > :06:42.been evacuated from their homes after severe flooding in Malaga,

:06:42. > :06:49.Almeria and Murcia. The number of dead has risen. At

:06:49. > :06:54.the some of the worst floods in years. Inside people's homes, the

:06:54. > :07:01.flood waters have destroyed everything. This woman says a car

:07:01. > :07:06.floated into the house. "I have nothing left, I am ruined" she says.

:07:06. > :07:11.This man says his route was like a river of cars and water. Large

:07:11. > :07:18.areas of southern Spain are flooded. Here, a bridge collapsed after the

:07:18. > :07:22.heavy rain. Acar, randomly dumped by the floods and the rivers

:07:22. > :07:29.swollen and powerful, taking anything in their path. On these

:07:29. > :07:33.satellite images, the light, grey areas Shahabi ring concentrated

:07:33. > :07:38.over the South East of Spain, but moving north today. And there were

:07:38. > :07:43.flood warnings in the north-east of the country. In Barcelona it has

:07:43. > :07:50.been raining all day. But there has not been flooding like that in the

:07:50. > :07:54.south of Spain. Back there, the clean-up has begun. The long, hot

:07:54. > :08:01.summer meant the ground was very dry and so much water had no where

:08:01. > :08:08.to go. If you weeks ago, this region had forest fires and now

:08:08. > :08:11.this. In Golf's Ryder Cup, the United

:08:11. > :08:14.States have taken a commanding lead over Europe at the half way stage

:08:14. > :08:17.on Day Two of the competition. They currently lead Europe by 6-3 and

:08:17. > :08:26.lead in another two matches at the Medinah Country Club. From Chicago,

:08:26. > :08:29.here's our correspondent, Andy Swiss.

:08:29. > :08:34.After their flying start, the American fans began the day

:08:34. > :08:40.brimming with confidence. A two point lead overnight, their hopes

:08:40. > :08:46.as high as the decibel count. Europe know they have to start

:08:46. > :08:52.quickly and find a way of silencing his crowd. It is barely 7:00am and

:08:53. > :08:56.already they are in full voice. Europe had a different inspiration,

:08:57. > :09:03.and Ariel tribute to Seve Ballesteros, and they made the

:09:03. > :09:09.perfect start. Ian Poulter birdie in the first, and the adrenalin was

:09:09. > :09:15.pumping. But things began to unravel. Lee Westwood went away

:09:15. > :09:22.would with a watery results, and Europe was trailing in every match.

:09:22. > :09:27.Once again, America's start was Keegan Bradley. He and Phil

:09:27. > :09:32.Mickelson unstoppable as they demolished Lee Westwood and Luke

:09:32. > :09:37.Donald. Europe finally made impact, pinpoint accuracy from Justin Rose,

:09:37. > :09:41.and how his team needed it. Belgian's Nicolas Colsaerts, also

:09:41. > :09:45.offering hope. Europe will need plenty more of these if they are to

:09:45. > :09:48.have any chance. The Chelsea captain, John Terry,

:09:48. > :09:50.has been back in action just two days after being found guilty of

:09:51. > :09:53.racial abuse by the Football Association. Terry's four match ban
