:00:24. > :00:29.nearly half �1 million worth of taxpayer-funded humanitarian aid was

:00:29. > :00:32.captured by Al-Qaeda-linked militants in Somalia. The supplies

:00:32. > :00:35.were in warehouses seized by Al-Shabaab some two years ago, but

:00:35. > :00:38.have only just been revealed in the annual accounts of the Department

:00:38. > :00:48.for International Development. With me now is our political

:00:48. > :00:53.correspondent. What more do we know? We know that this aid was destroyed

:00:53. > :00:59.by Al-Shabaab. The Department for International Development has said

:00:59. > :01:03.that some of it was set fire to when this raid happened in November 2011.

:01:03. > :01:10.It has only just come to light. The Sunday Telegraph reported that the

:01:10. > :01:13.aid, which came up to �480,000 of taxpayers' money, was effectively

:01:13. > :01:17.written off. There is a big debate over international aid and whether

:01:17. > :01:23.we should be funding it to the extent that we do. It is one of the

:01:23. > :01:28.few government departments has its -- which has not faced cuts, so it

:01:28. > :01:31.brings that to the fore again. At a spokesperson told me that the

:01:31. > :01:34.spending was justified because by doing so, you create a safer world.

:01:34. > :01:40.In places like Somalia, which are very dangerous, these things

:01:40. > :01:43.sometimes happen. Police in Northern Ireland have

:01:43. > :01:46.renewed their call for calm ahead of a controversial Republican parade

:01:46. > :01:49.today at Castlederg in County Tyrone. More than 50 police officers

:01:49. > :01:51.were injured on Friday in violence. The Northern Ireland Secretary,

:01:51. > :01:55.Theresa Villiers, described what happened as a hugely regrettable

:01:55. > :02:04.step backwards. Today's march, which is backed by Sinn Fein, is to

:02:04. > :02:08.commemorate IRA members who died during the Troubles.

:02:08. > :02:11.Enemies of Islam - that is how the US State Department has described

:02:11. > :02:14.the people responsible for the latest deadly wave of violence in

:02:14. > :02:18.Iraq. More than 60 people were killed in a series of bomb attacks

:02:18. > :02:21.during celebrations to mark the end of the holy month of Ramadan. Most

:02:21. > :02:29.of the casualties were in the capital, Baghdad, where both Shia

:02:29. > :02:32.and Sunni areas were targeted. It is supposed to be a time of

:02:32. > :02:36.celebrations for the Eid holiday, marking the end of the holy month of

:02:36. > :02:41.Ramadan. But it has been marred by more bloodshed and violence. In the

:02:41. > :02:45.latest round of attacks, Saturday saw a wave of bombings, apparently

:02:45. > :02:49.coordinated to hit market areas, cafes and restaurants at their

:02:49. > :02:54.busiest, places where Iraqis had gathered for the Eid holiday. More

:02:54. > :02:57.than 60 people have been killed, and there are reports that nearly 300

:02:57. > :03:04.have been injured. The attacks happened mainly in the capital,

:03:04. > :03:08.Baghdad, but but also two towns in the north and one in the south. The

:03:08. > :03:14.tensions this year were fuelled in April, when Iraqi security forces

:03:14. > :03:18.broke up an anti-government protest, killing and wounding dozens

:03:18. > :03:21.of protesters. The violence has been escalating. The UN says 1000 people

:03:21. > :03:28.were killed in July. Then last month, hundreds of inmates escaped

:03:28. > :03:32.after gunmen stormed two jails near Baghdad. An Iraqi affiliate of

:03:32. > :03:36.Al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility for that. Most of the violence in

:03:36. > :03:39.the past months has happened in Shia areas, and there is a lot of anger

:03:39. > :03:43.towards the Shia led government. Sunnis feel they are being

:03:43. > :03:46.marginalised. Plus, the coalition government is accused of failing to

:03:46. > :03:50.provide basic services such as electricity and clean water. Last

:03:50. > :03:55.week mother prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, vowed to continue

:03:55. > :04:00.operations against militants, and in the run-up to Eid, more security

:04:00. > :04:04.checkpoints had been set up. But it has done little good this weekend.

:04:04. > :04:09.This is one of the deadliest Ramadans Iraq has seen in years. If

:04:09. > :04:13.the government fails to stem the spiralling violence, there are

:04:13. > :04:17.worries that the country could see a return of the all-out Sunni-Shi'ite

:04:17. > :04:20.sectarian conflict. In athletics, Usain Bolt is in

:04:20. > :04:23.action in the 100 metres final this evening at the World Championships

:04:23. > :04:26.in Russia. For Team GB, Shara Proctor could win a first-ever

:04:26. > :04:36.British medal in the women's long jump this afternoon. Our sports

:04:36. > :04:40.

:04:40. > :04:45.correspondent is in Moscow. A lot of excitement about Usain Bolt? Yes,

:04:45. > :04:49.welcome to another sweltering day in Moscow. After Mo Farah's thrilling

:04:49. > :04:53.victory in the 10,000 metres final last night, all eyes are now turning

:04:53. > :04:57.to the biggest superstar of world athletics, Usain Bolt, as he goes

:04:57. > :05:02.for the first of potentially three gold medals in Moscow. He pretty

:05:02. > :05:06.much strolled his way through the heat yesterday, with so many of his

:05:06. > :05:11.big rivals missing from these championships, it is hard to see

:05:11. > :05:14.anyone stopping him, although Britain's hopes on paper seem to

:05:14. > :05:21.rest with James Dasaolu, one of the fastest men in the world this year.

:05:21. > :05:25.He recorded 9.91 seconds a few months ago, the second fastest

:05:25. > :05:28.Briton in history. But he was less than impressive in yesterday's

:05:28. > :05:34.heats, and he will face a battle just to qualify for the final. Other

:05:34. > :05:39.British hopes today rest with Shara Proctor in the women's long jump.

:05:39. > :05:43.She was very impressive in qualifying yesterday. She will be

:05:43. > :05:48.looking for a place on the podium will stop and also Christine

:05:48. > :05:52.Ohuruogu. She goes in the semifinals of the women's 400 metres. A former

:05:53. > :05:57.Olympic champion and world champion, she will be confident of

:05:57. > :06:01.yet another medal at a major championships here in Moscow.

:06:01. > :06:11.You can see more on all of today's stories on the BBC News Channel. The

:06:11. > :06:21.

:06:21. > :06:27.next news on BBC one is at 7.05. winds are coming from the West, from

:06:27. > :06:30.the Atlantic, so it will be mixed, a bit like we are seeing today. There

:06:30. > :06:36.will be sunshine around, but we will find showers, more than we got

:06:36. > :06:41.yesterday, and we see across northern areas. That is blowing in

:06:41. > :06:45.these shower clouds. We have had what a few showers already. They

:06:45. > :06:50.will continue to run into the north of England, possibly affecting the

:06:50. > :06:54.cricket at Chester-le-Street. It has not been bad so far in eastern

:06:54. > :06:59.Scotland, but watch for thundery showers developing here, and more

:06:59. > :07:02.frequent showers arriving for the west of Scotland. No storms in

:07:02. > :07:06.Northern Ireland, but there will be a scattering of showers. The

:07:06. > :07:11.westerly wind will blow the showers over the Irish Sea into the north of

:07:11. > :07:15.Wales. Mid and South wales may stay dry, and we can't rule out the odd

:07:15. > :07:23.shower for the south-west, but many places will have a fine afternoon.

:07:23. > :07:26.Those showers eventually clear away from the south-east. Not a bad day

:07:26. > :07:30.across many southern areas. More showers to the north, where the

:07:30. > :07:36.strong winds will keep those showers going overnight, particularly in

:07:36. > :07:41.Scotland and Northern Ireland, possibly in the Midlands. Over the

:07:41. > :07:46.week ahead, we will find some spells of sunshine, which will feel

:07:46. > :07:55.peasant. There will be cloud and rain, particularly for the north and

:07:55. > :07:59.west of the UK. Some sunshine on Monday, especially for southern and

:07:59. > :08:03.eastern areas. Showers elsewhere from the word go. The showers will

:08:03. > :08:06.develop more widely from the Midlands northwards. Heavy ones are

:08:06. > :08:11.possible for the north-east of England and the east of Scotland, so

:08:11. > :08:21.not good news for the cricketers at Chester-le-Street. Most of England

:08:21. > :08:21.

:08:21. > :08:25.will have lower temperatures than today. It will probably be the

:08:25. > :08:31.coldest night of the week ahead. After that, we introduce more cloud

:08:31. > :08:41.again from the Atlantic as these weather fronts begin to topple our

:08:41. > :08:46.

:08:46. > :08:51.way. Again, we are looking towards the West full is up there is a slow

:08:51. > :08:56.progression of these weather fronts our way. Initially, they are weak,

:08:56. > :09:04.and it is mainly Northern Ireland, Wales and the south-west that will

:09:04. > :09:10.see outbreaks of rain. Through Wednesday night and Thursday, the

:09:10. > :09:14.rain may start to turn heavier, and it will work more towards the north,

:09:14. > :09:20.taking rain across Northern Ireland and Scotland. For England and Wales,

:09:20. > :09:27.maybe a few showers around, but as it brightens, it will start to feel

:09:27. > :09:30.warmer and more humid. But this weather front is bringing the rain

:09:30. > :09:34.in from the north-west and will start to trickle southwards into
