:00:11. > :00:19.America as a neighbourhood watch volunteer is cleared of the murder

:00:19. > :00:27.of a black teenager. The verdict, we find George Zimmerman not guilty.

:00:27. > :00:31.Juror is accepted he acted in self defence when he shot Trayvon Martin.

:00:31. > :00:37.The decision to acquit him triggered protests in cities across the

:00:37. > :00:41.country. Young black men are constantly the

:00:41. > :00:48.victims of violence, and we do not have a justice system that

:00:48. > :00:51.recognises this is a crisis. Also, two servicemen have died during a

:00:51. > :00:55.military exercise in the Brecon Beacons.

:00:55. > :00:59.A Fireman dies while tackling a blaze in the centre of Manchester.

:00:59. > :01:08.How the little-known author of a crime novel turned out to be the

:01:08. > :01:18.creator of Harry Potter. And, they were made to sweat, but

:01:18. > :01:31.

:01:31. > :01:35.Good evening. Barack Obama has called for calm to light following

:01:35. > :01:38.the acquittal of a neighbourhood watch volunteer who shot dead and

:01:38. > :01:43.gone on the black teenager in February last year.

:01:43. > :01:49.The killing of Trayvon Martin in a gated community in Florida sparked a

:01:49. > :01:57.huge debate about racial profiling of suspects. George Zimmerman was

:01:57. > :02:02.cleared on all charges. The shooting dead of Trayvon Martin

:02:02. > :02:07.divided America. We find George Zimmerman not guilty. Neighbourhood

:02:07. > :02:11.watch volunteer George Zimmerman never denied killing the teenager,

:02:11. > :02:17.but said he did so out of self defence. The jury agreed and cleared

:02:17. > :02:24.him of second-degree murder. I am thrilled that this jury kept this

:02:24. > :02:26.tragedy from becoming a travesty. Trayvon Martin's family were not

:02:26. > :02:33.present to hear the verdict, but they called it heartbreaking and

:02:33. > :02:38.their darkest hour. Just remember, he could have been your son, my

:02:38. > :02:47.baby, anyone in America's baby, walking to the store and coming back

:02:47. > :02:55.with Skittles. Things happen in life, but sometimes, it is not fair.

:02:55. > :02:59.Protests greeted the acquittal in some other American cities. Junk

:02:59. > :03:02.black men are constantly being the victims of violence and we do not

:03:02. > :03:10.have a justice system that recognises this is a crisis. Some

:03:10. > :03:14.believe the verdict handed down here may only serve to reopen old wounds.

:03:14. > :03:19.Despite three weeks of testimony, some major questions remain about

:03:19. > :03:23.what actually happened on that fateful night. What we do know is

:03:23. > :03:26.that Trayvon Martin was walking to this apartment complex when he was

:03:26. > :03:30.tackled by George Zimmerman, who believed he was part of a gang that

:03:30. > :03:34.had been targeting the local neighbourhood. Nobody else would

:03:34. > :03:37.test the struggle that followed but a neighbour's called to the

:03:37. > :03:47.emergency services picked up the sound of cries for help followed by

:03:47. > :03:57.

:03:57. > :04:02.Martin was dead. Lawyers for the defence and prosecution differed

:04:03. > :04:06.wildly in their interpretation of events. Central to this case was

:04:06. > :04:09.Florida's gun laws, which allow those who own firearms to shoot

:04:09. > :04:15.somebody if they feel they are in danger of being killed or seriously

:04:15. > :04:21.injured. Citing battle, George Zimmerman always argued he acted in

:04:21. > :04:25.self defence. Two servicemen have died while

:04:25. > :04:28.taking part in a training exercise in the Brecon Beacons. It is thought

:04:28. > :04:36.the hot weather could have been a factor in their deaths. Their

:04:36. > :04:40.families have been informed. The rugged beauty of the Brecon

:04:40. > :04:43.Beacons draws thousands of visitors every year. But it is also what

:04:43. > :04:48.makes this such an important training ground for the British

:04:48. > :04:53.Army, including the SAS. What happened here yesterday afternoon

:04:53. > :04:57.has shocked the local community. We have got very close links with the

:04:57. > :05:00.military, we are proud of our connection to the Armed Forces, they

:05:00. > :05:05.are a major employer, so news like this cuts to the heart of the

:05:05. > :05:10.community. The Brecon Beacons is home to one of the largest live fire

:05:10. > :05:15.training areas in Britain. It is understood live ammunition was not

:05:15. > :05:20.used in the exercise. It led to the deaths of two servicemen and left a

:05:20. > :05:25.third in a serious condition. Instead, the investigation into what

:05:25. > :05:30.happened is expected to focus on the hot weather. The Brecon Beacons is a

:05:30. > :05:35.demanding training area, after the Falklands War, the general said the

:05:35. > :05:43.war was won on the training areas of the Brecon Beacons, it is that

:05:43. > :05:46.demanding. When you mix that Lorraine with some hot weather,

:05:46. > :05:50.individual circumstances can be unpleasant. Yesterday was the

:05:50. > :05:56.hottest day of the year so far in Wales, with temperatures reaching 30

:05:56. > :06:00.Celsius. It seems the conditions may have taken their toll. The service

:06:00. > :06:03.men's next of kin have been informed, the Ministry of Defence

:06:03. > :06:12.says it is working with the police and will release more details in

:06:12. > :06:15.cheap course. -- in due course. A contributor to

:06:15. > :06:18.the investigation into high death rates at 14 national health trusts

:06:18. > :06:24.has told the BBC he believes thousands of patients have died each

:06:24. > :06:27.year due to a lack of proper care. Brian Jarman gave advice about death

:06:28. > :06:35.rates for the report, which follows the scandal at the Mid Staffordshire

:06:35. > :06:39.trust. The report is due to be made public this week.

:06:39. > :06:44.This man says he had a terrible experience. A day after being

:06:44. > :06:48.allowed home from a bowel cancer operation, he had to go back into

:06:48. > :06:56.hospital with serious complications from a wound. He claims the care was

:06:56. > :07:01.not good enough. It was unnecessary. I should not have been let out.

:07:01. > :07:07.There is not enough after-care. The surgeons are wonderful. It is the

:07:07. > :07:13.after-care. He was treated at Basildon, a hospital at one of the

:07:13. > :07:18.14 trusts under review. It says it is trying to improve all aspects of

:07:18. > :07:22.care, and it will investigate fully. The trusts, which have been looked

:07:22. > :07:26.into, serve a total population of 6 million people in England. The

:07:26. > :07:30.report will look at what care is like in each trust now and what

:07:30. > :07:34.action needs to be taken. It will not have figures for how many deaths

:07:34. > :07:41.might have occurred from Paul care, that an expert who gave advice to

:07:41. > :07:44.the review had his own assessment. Looking at the 14 trusts, if you

:07:44. > :07:50.say, how many deaths would they have had had they had the national death

:07:50. > :07:55.rate, over the last five years, it would have been 13,000 fewer deaths

:07:55. > :08:02.will stop this means that we have got a number of other hospitals

:08:02. > :08:05.which are similar. Calculating mortality figures can be

:08:06. > :08:10.controversial, but the failings in Mid Staffordshire happened when high

:08:10. > :08:16.death rates were explained away, rather than used as an alarm signal

:08:16. > :08:19.which should have triggered investigation. The report, being

:08:19. > :08:23.published on Tuesday, was ordered by ministers at the Department of

:08:23. > :08:27.Health. They are under pressure to show they can get the NHS to find

:08:27. > :08:32.and deal with poor care. But questions are being asked about how

:08:32. > :08:37.far back some of these problems go. And about Labour's track record

:08:37. > :08:43.while in power. I was bringing problems into the open, rather than

:08:43. > :08:50.trying to brush them under the carpet. That is my record, I amp out

:08:50. > :08:53.of what I did. Now, it is for this government to take action to ensure

:08:53. > :08:58.standards improve at these hospitals, they have got worse on

:08:58. > :09:02.this government's watch. The government says the safety of

:09:02. > :09:07.patients remains its priority and it expects the NHS to be accountable

:09:07. > :09:12.when things go wrong. A firefighter has died after

:09:12. > :09:15.tackling a blaze in Manchester last night. Stephen Hunt was part of a

:09:15. > :09:21.team responding to a fire at a shop when he and a colleague got into

:09:21. > :09:24.difficulties. Firefighters mourning the loss of a

:09:24. > :09:31.colleague still had work to do is pick smoke continued to poison the

:09:31. > :09:34.air. The fire started at a company that supplies hairdressers. It

:09:34. > :09:41.appeared to be under control, but yesterday evening, something went

:09:41. > :09:44.wrong. Something happened, possibly an explosion, it is not clear. Two

:09:44. > :09:49.firefighters had to be rescued and were taken to hospital. Stephen Hunt

:09:49. > :09:57.died. His colleague was treated for burns to his hands and smoke

:09:57. > :10:01.inhalation. Stephen Hunt was 38 and a father of two teenagers. His

:10:02. > :10:07.senior officer paid tribute to him today. I have never seen

:10:07. > :10:13.firefighters so shocked and devastated. I have seen some

:10:13. > :10:18.horrendous incident over the years. That level of devastation is a

:10:18. > :10:23.testament and tribute to how liked he was. His family have released a

:10:23. > :10:29.statement, describing him as an old-fashioned gentleman. A former

:10:29. > :10:31.soldier, he was proud, they say, to be a firefighter. Two girls arrested

:10:31. > :10:38.on suspicion of manslaughter have been released on bail until

:10:39. > :10:42.September. An investigation by the BBC's

:10:42. > :10:46.Panorama has found the number of suicides among soldiers and Army

:10:46. > :10:50.veterans last year was much higher than previously reported. It has

:10:50. > :11:00.found more than 50 cases of soldiers taking their own lives, more than

:11:00. > :11:04.

:11:04. > :11:10.The time is quarter to ten, we have been shot at for four hours. This

:11:10. > :11:18.lance sergeant twice survived being shot, he was blown off his feet by a

:11:18. > :11:22.roadside bomb in Afghanistan. his friend killed in front of him.

:11:23. > :11:27.The phone calls changed, and he said, this place is hell on earth. I

:11:28. > :11:32.just want to get out. It was when he returned home that the real trauma

:11:32. > :11:38.began. The army diagnosed him with post-traumatic stress disorder and

:11:38. > :11:43.sent him home to Wales. nightmares were the main thing. I

:11:43. > :11:49.had to reassure him of where he was. It was clear he was really

:11:49. > :11:57.think everything. I wish there was something I could have done. On New

:11:57. > :12:02.Year's Eve to thousand and 11, -- 2011, he drove into the mountains.

:12:02. > :12:07.He recorded a farewell video just before hanging himself. He is not

:12:07. > :12:11.the only sold to have taken his life. After nearly a year of

:12:12. > :12:16.analysing information from coroners, local papers, military contacts and

:12:16. > :12:19.Freedom of Information responses from the Ministry of Defence, we

:12:19. > :12:24.uncovered 50 cases of serving soldiers and veterans who killed

:12:24. > :12:29.themselves in 2012. Much higher than the figure of seven reported to

:12:29. > :12:35.Parliament last month. The handover from a service person leaving the

:12:35. > :12:38.Armed Forces going into the civilian world is completely inadequate.

:12:39. > :12:45.Where is the follow-up, where is the governance to see they are being

:12:45. > :12:48.looked after, linking to the NHS? That does not exist. Unlike in

:12:48. > :12:55.America, the government does not track veterans, so nobody knows how

:12:55. > :13:00.many have the disorder or take their own lives. It cannot be beyond the

:13:00. > :13:04.wit of us to put in place a monitoring process whereby a coroner

:13:04. > :13:09.has AGT when he records a verdict on a suicide case to have enquired

:13:09. > :13:19.whether this person had a military background. The MoD says it was not

:13:19. > :13:24.

:13:24. > :13:26.prepared to talk about individual own life, his mother is still

:13:26. > :13:34.waiting for an inquest into whether the Army could have prevented his

:13:34. > :13:39.own death. You can see the full panorama

:13:39. > :13:49.investigation tomorrow evening at 9pm on BBC One. Now, time for the

:13:49. > :13:52.sports news of the day. England have taken a 1-0 lead in the

:13:52. > :13:55.Ashes against Australia after a nail-biting finale to an

:13:56. > :14:02.unforgettable opening test. The match had everything and the result

:14:03. > :14:07.could have gone either way, that England won by 14 runs.

:14:07. > :14:13.Trent Bridge, Sunday morning, England arrived with victory in

:14:13. > :14:17.their sights, but who would be the man? Four wickets to take. Inside

:14:17. > :14:21.the ground, they knew the boulder to win the match. With James Anderson

:14:21. > :14:28.bowling and Alastair Cook capturing, England moved to the threshold of

:14:28. > :14:32.the jury. Alec to -- Alastair Cook made up for his drop. He must have

:14:32. > :14:38.felt like he had grabbed the match. But Wright had in will not accept

:14:38. > :14:45.defeat. Three consecutive fours from Steve Finn. Australia needed fewer

:14:45. > :14:50.than 50. James Pattinson was batting number 11, but not playing like it.

:14:50. > :14:59.Australia were getting closer to the victory that had seemed beyond them.

:14:59. > :15:02.26 needed. Steve Finn was under the ball, he could win the test, or not.

:15:02. > :15:10.Batting, bowling, Fielding, it was concluded by technology. England

:15:10. > :15:14.appealed. The smallest glimmer on a thermal image camera revealed the

:15:14. > :15:23.tiniest contact with bat on ball. It was the hotspot which got rid of the

:15:23. > :15:27.last batsmen. England won by 14 runs. Trent Bridge 2013, one of the

:15:27. > :15:31.classiest -- classic finishes, and the next test starts in London on

:15:31. > :15:38.Thursday. England will hope that James Anderson is rested and ready

:15:38. > :15:43.to go again. Athletics has been hit with a drug

:15:43. > :15:45.scandal of the fastest man in the world this year Tyson Gay and the

:15:45. > :15:49.former 100 metres world record-holder Asafa Powell have

:15:49. > :15:53.tested positive for a banned substance.

:15:53. > :15:58.They are two of the fastest men ever to take to the track. The events

:15:58. > :16:02.have put the brakes on their careers. News of Tyson Gay's drugs

:16:02. > :16:09.test was first to emerge, when he had confirmed he had tested positive

:16:09. > :16:13.for an unnamed banned substance. shows, it does not matter if you are

:16:13. > :16:20.a big star, they will come after you. We should never forget that.

:16:20. > :16:26.That is a good thing. This will reverberate around the sport. I was

:16:26. > :16:29.later, the sport was rocked again, Asafa Powell, who helped Jamaica to

:16:29. > :16:39.Olympic gold in paging, admitted he had tested positive to a banned

:16:39. > :16:41.

:16:41. > :16:45.stimulant. He said... One thing is certain, the absence of two of

:16:45. > :16:49.sprinting's most high-profile stars is a major blow, the head of the

:16:49. > :16:55.world Championships next month. Britain's Chris Froome moved closer

:16:55. > :17:00.to securing the Tour de France title winning the 15th stage.

:17:00. > :17:04.He had climbed his rivals over the gruelling course, extending his

:17:04. > :17:10.overall lead to more than four minutes.

:17:10. > :17:15.That is the sport. Until this morning, it was a well reviewed

:17:15. > :17:18.first novel by a unknown crime writer called but Galbraith.

:17:18. > :17:27.Tonight, Cuckoo's Calling is top of the Amazon book charts after its

:17:27. > :17:30.author was revealed to be none other than JK Rowling.

:17:30. > :17:36.Readers often expect books to be filled with surprises, it is unusual

:17:36. > :17:40.for one of them being who actually wrote it. The unknown author Robert

:17:40. > :17:44.Galbraith now turns out to be the incredibly well-known JK Rowling.

:17:44. > :17:54.For years, there has been a frenzy whenever she has published,

:17:54. > :18:00.

:18:00. > :18:03.something she has avoided this time. through writing the Harry Potter

:18:03. > :18:09.series, Ike asked her about the possibility of publishing

:18:09. > :18:14.anonymously. Do you think you would hide behind a pseudonym? I said

:18:14. > :18:19.before that it is very appealing. chances of getting away with it are

:18:19. > :18:23.incredibly remote. The media discovered her secret. A Sunday

:18:23. > :18:28.newspaper asked an expert to compare Cuckoo's Calling with her last two

:18:28. > :18:33.books and books by other authors. I was looking at word length, sentence

:18:33. > :18:37.length, paragraph length, punctuation, frequency of common

:18:37. > :18:46.words, and in all cases, Cuckoo's Calling came out significantly

:18:46. > :18:49.closer to JK Rowling smack novels. Val McDiarmid loved the book when it

:18:49. > :18:55.was first published. Her reaction when she found out its author? I

:18:55. > :19:01.burst out laughing, with delight, that she had taken us all in, so
