:00:42. > :00:43.developed nations? And, another hard night ahead, can
:00:44. > :01:08.England save the second Ashes Test? Good evening. Thousands of
:01:09. > :01:12.passengers have spent the day stranded on planes and in airports
:01:13. > :01:16.after a technical fault at an air traffic control centre. Tonight the
:01:17. > :01:23.problem has been fixed, but delays could continue into tomorrow. The
:01:24. > :01:26.disruption has not just been confined to the United Kingdom.
:01:27. > :01:29.Across Europe 1,300 flights were severely delayed or cancelled as a
:01:30. > :01:34.result of the problem caused when controllers were unable to switch
:01:35. > :01:37.from night to day-time operations. That's a total of 8% of all
:01:38. > :01:43.journeys. Our transport correspondent Richard Westcott
:01:44. > :01:47.reports. Restriction to the number of flights
:01:48. > :01:53.both to and from the UK this morning, hence the rolling delay...
:01:54. > :01:57.It's the news no one wants to hear. This flight from Heathrow to Berlin
:01:58. > :02:02.this morning was going nowhere. Just one of hundreds of flights delayed
:02:03. > :02:05.or cancelled today after a technical problem at the air traffic control
:02:06. > :02:10.service. As ever, it was the not knowing what was going on that
:02:11. > :02:14.really got to people. We tried to check-in. It wouldn't let us, had to
:02:15. > :02:21.wait a long time to find out the flight had been cancelled. Now we
:02:22. > :02:27.have to wait hours for the next one. Come in from Trinidad, landed at
:02:28. > :02:33.Gatwick, came in on the bus here, and it's Kayous. Queues -- chaos.
:02:34. > :02:36.Queues everywhere and find out the flight is cancelled. It's a broken
:02:37. > :02:41.phone system which meant there are people like these spending the night
:02:42. > :02:44.here in a terminal. The controllers use this system to speak to each
:02:45. > :02:47.other, to swap information about the aircraft but they couldn't get
:02:48. > :02:51.enough phones working this morning so they couldn't open enough work
:02:52. > :02:55.stations. As a result, they could only offer a reduced service. So, a
:02:56. > :03:00.long frustrating day for passengers. It took until 7.30pm this evening to
:03:01. > :03:05.get everything working again. Not soon enough for airline Ryanair
:03:06. > :03:10.which had to delay more than 300 flights today. It's astonishing to
:03:11. > :03:14.me that there wasn't a robust contingency in place and that's
:03:15. > :03:18.regulated by the CAA and we feel they should take a stronger hand. At
:03:19. > :03:24.the air traffic service they're promising to learn lessons for the
:03:25. > :03:28.future. We are not 100% resilient as today has shown but every time we
:03:29. > :03:31.have a glitch like this one of the things we do with great effort
:03:32. > :03:34.afterwards is to look at exactly what happened and why and to make
:03:35. > :03:38.sure we don't have that happen again. The problem might be fixed
:03:39. > :03:43.but the delays will continue tomorrow.
:03:44. > :03:49.Let's get more from Richard now. What advice for passengers or
:03:50. > :03:53.potential passengers watching tonight? Dare I say it, there might
:03:54. > :03:56.even be good news tonight. I have been speaking to Ryanair who are
:03:57. > :03:59.hoping to get everything back to normal for the morning. Gatwick
:04:00. > :04:03.Airport is tweeting there could be some problems fwu doesn't look like
:04:04. > :04:07.it will be that bad. I have spoken to British Airways who equally say,
:04:08. > :04:10.they can't guarantee there won't be any problems, but it won't be
:04:11. > :04:15.catastrophic like today. We have fixed the problem. The delays will
:04:16. > :04:19.iron themselves out and we get the repercussions, those passengers who
:04:20. > :04:23.are spending a night here or delayed a long time will be wanting
:04:24. > :04:28.compensation. The airlines will want to know why it took so long to fix
:04:29. > :04:33.this problem. By the way, before we go, let's spare a thought for that
:04:34. > :04:37.Swedish couple I spoke about in the film there, I have left them, they
:04:38. > :04:41.were hoping to be with their family tonight, instead I have left them
:04:42. > :04:47.trying to get to sleep in a seat. Thank you.
:04:48. > :04:50.Vigils are continuing in South Africa to remember Nelson Mandela as
:04:51. > :04:54.his family gave their first comments since his death on Thursday evening.
:04:55. > :04:58.They thanked South Africa and the wider world for their support and
:04:59. > :05:07.spoke of a difficult few days. Clive Myrie is in Soweto for us tonight.
:05:08. > :05:11.So linked was Nelson Mandela's personal struggle against apartheid
:05:12. > :05:13.with the hopes and aspirations of millions here that his death
:05:14. > :05:17.actually feels like the loss of a relative for many people. Today the
:05:18. > :05:22.Government announced the public will be able to pay their last respects
:05:23. > :05:26.in person as his body is moved from the military hospital to the Union
:05:27. > :05:29.Buildings in Pretoria where it will lie in state for three days next
:05:30. > :05:34.week. People are actually being encouraged to line the route.
:05:35. > :05:39.The former President's family today gave its first public statement
:05:40. > :05:43.since his death. Here is our Africa correspondent Andrew Harding.
:05:44. > :05:49.On the rough edges of Johannesburg a sombre mood today. A young Nelson
:05:50. > :05:55.Mandela once lived on this corner before he went to prison. Signing a
:05:56. > :06:01.book of condolence in the courtyard is Karla. When she was a schoolgirl
:06:02. > :06:06.she met Nelson Mandela here and again years later when he returned
:06:07. > :06:13.as an old man. He was a very good man. He was a man of passion. Today
:06:14. > :06:19.this is still a poor, sometimes violent neighbourhood, but Mandela's
:06:20. > :06:25.name prompts only gratitude and respect here. We are what we are
:06:26. > :06:30.today, even though we don't have good houses and some of the others
:06:31. > :06:37.have houses, we still struggle to get houses, but for him he has done
:06:38. > :06:45.a lot for us. We love that man. The mood is down. Everyone is just
:06:46. > :06:48.thinking of Mandela. Today, Mandela's grandson joined the crowds
:06:49. > :06:56.still gathering outside the family home in Johannesburg. South Africa
:06:57. > :07:01.is gearing up for a momentous week with va crowds gathering, thousands
:07:02. > :07:07.lining the roads and every world leader heading to town. The mood
:07:08. > :07:13.here, for now, waverring between sorer and celebration. If you look
:07:14. > :07:18.at the crowds that are gathering, this is the South Africa that Nelson
:07:19. > :07:22.Mandela created for us and so even though he is not with us, he
:07:23. > :07:25.continues to unite this country. I believe our leaders currently and
:07:26. > :07:31.future leaders must learn from this great man. Do you think they
:07:32. > :07:37.learning? Not enough, honestly speaking.
:07:38. > :07:46.Tomorrow there will be more singing as the first Remembrance services
:07:47. > :07:50.begin. I am joined now by our correspondent
:07:51. > :07:55.James. We had a few more details today about the arrangements for the
:07:56. > :07:59.state funeral next week. It will be clearly a momentous occasion in the
:08:00. > :08:03.life of this country. It will, this will surely be the largest gathering
:08:04. > :08:06.of its kind ever seen on this continent of Africa, perhaps one of
:08:07. > :08:10.the largest state funerals ever held in the world because I think so many
:08:11. > :08:15.leaders of members of the United Nations want to be here in person to
:08:16. > :08:20.add their weight to a global reflection of Nelson Mandela's
:08:21. > :08:24.greatness. Several good strong clues from the Government and the ANC
:08:25. > :08:28.today how it hopes to involve as many ordinary South Africans, too.
:08:29. > :08:31.Tomorrow has been dubbed a day of national prayer and reflection and
:08:32. > :08:34.churches, faith groups, are hoping that many people, not just in large
:08:35. > :08:38.towns and cities like Soweto here where people are celebrating as well
:08:39. > :08:42.as remembering, but in scattered communities, in a country which is
:08:43. > :08:46.five times the size of Britain. They'll come together in small acts
:08:47. > :08:49.of worship, prayer or reflection and get intimately involved in this
:08:50. > :08:53.process. One other indication is what you have been talking about,
:08:54. > :08:56.the fact that the Government is now saying Nelson Mandela's body when
:08:57. > :09:00.it's taken three times to and from the Union Buildings on Wednesday,
:09:01. > :09:05.Thursday and Friday, from the Military Hospital, for that process
:09:06. > :09:07.of lying-in-state, it will give people more opportunities the
:09:08. > :09:10.Government hopes to line that route and join in this process of national
:09:11. > :09:14.mourning, but also of celebration. Thank you.
:09:15. > :09:25.There will be much more from South Africa, of course, over the next few
:09:26. > :09:28.days. Back to London now. The Prime Minister says a global
:09:29. > :09:32.trade deal agreed today could be worth ?1 billion a year to British
:09:33. > :09:35.businesses as well as providing a lifeline to the world's poorest
:09:36. > :09:38.people. But the agreement - reached by nearly 160 countries - has been
:09:39. > :09:41.criticised by some charities for doing too little to help the least
:09:42. > :09:43.developed nations. Our business correspondent Joe Lynam has the
:09:44. > :09:46.details. After 12 years of haggling without
:09:47. > :09:49.an agreement this deal took almost everyone by surprise. The goal was
:09:50. > :09:53.to cut the red tape which can hold up the free movement of goods in
:09:54. > :09:57.some of the world's poorest countries. While it takes only five
:09:58. > :10:05.days to import goods into Europe, it can take up to 100 days in
:10:06. > :10:13.landlocked Chad. This was received rapturously by trade Ministers in
:10:14. > :10:17.Bali. What we have done here is truly extra ordinary. We have
:10:18. > :10:22.negotiated a package that will bring food security to billions of the
:10:23. > :10:28.world's poorest. We have delivered an agreement on trade facilitation
:10:29. > :10:33.that will inject up to a trillion into the world economy It will make
:10:34. > :10:36.customs clearance at borders faster, from weeks to potentially a few
:10:37. > :10:40.hours. The poorest countries will now pay fewer import taxes giving
:10:41. > :10:44.them a better chance of selling goods abroad. Today's agreement is
:10:45. > :10:50.also a tiny part of the original plan started 12 years ago in Doha to
:10:51. > :10:53.slash agricultural subsidies so poorer farmers could better sell
:10:54. > :10:58.their produce in wealthy countries. That proved impossible and now the
:10:59. > :11:01.WTO has been accused of picking the low hanging fruit of dealing with
:11:02. > :11:06.red tape. It's basically delivered nothing except more pain and
:11:07. > :11:09.insecurity for the poorest and most vulnerable communities around the
:11:10. > :11:12.world. That's why we believe the WTO has outlived its purpose. It should
:11:13. > :11:16.be wound up and all of its functions should be taken away from it.
:11:17. > :11:21.World trade continues to grow and the goal of lowering trade barriers
:11:22. > :11:29.is welcomed by nearly everyone. Achieving is proving more elusive
:11:30. > :11:33.than discussing it. Thousands of people are returning to
:11:34. > :11:36.their homes on the east coast of Britain, to clean up after what the
:11:37. > :11:39.Environment Agency described as the most serious tidal surge in 60
:11:40. > :11:42.years. 1,400 homes were flooded including three hundred in Boston in
:11:43. > :11:45.Lincolnshire, from where Ed Thomas sent this report.
:11:46. > :11:53.Clearing up and bringing Boston back to life. The flood water have gone
:11:54. > :11:58.but the mess hasn't. It's also been a day for businesses to assess the
:11:59. > :12:01.damage and to try to move on. The staff are all here. They've turned
:12:02. > :12:05.out in their own time, nobody's asked them to work. They've all got
:12:06. > :12:10.families to feed. And Christmas presents to buy, they're going to be
:12:11. > :12:13.just as concerned as anybody else. The bottom oven was filled with
:12:14. > :12:19.water. Some here have had their lives turned upside down. Only last
:12:20. > :12:24.week Rebecca won a business award. Now her home, car and cake shop have
:12:25. > :12:30.been ruined by the floods. It feels like my heart's been ripped out
:12:31. > :12:35.because everything from the past year I have put into this business.
:12:36. > :12:40.It was a 48-hour battle for the Environment Agency, police, council
:12:41. > :12:44.and firefighters, to hold the waters back here. Today, the Environment
:12:45. > :12:49.Secretary came to Boston to thank them for their efforts. I would
:12:50. > :12:52.really pay tribute to the Environment Agency, local councils,
:12:53. > :12:56.the emergency services, who have been planning well in advance and
:12:57. > :13:00.that work came to fruition and they moved very quickly. Here in Boston
:13:01. > :13:03.there was a breach of the defences and the Environment Agency moved
:13:04. > :13:09.rapidly and a number of properties were saved. We have to remember this
:13:10. > :13:13.was really exceptional. It took minutes for this street to flood. It
:13:14. > :13:18.will take weeks to clear up. This will give you some idea of how
:13:19. > :13:23.ferocious the tidal surge was here. The height of the wet bricks gives
:13:24. > :13:27.you clues about what the water did. Compare that to the flood defences
:13:28. > :13:32.along this lane. Look at the height of the sandbags and it's clear homes
:13:33. > :13:36.and businesses here didn't stand a chance.
:13:37. > :13:40.Forecasters say the worst is over. But what isn't known is the cost of
:13:41. > :13:50.repairing the homes and businesses battered by the waves and storms.
:13:51. > :13:53.A charity race to the South Pole involving Prince Harry and wounded
:13:54. > :14:00.soldiers has been suspended because of safety concerns. Organisers said
:14:01. > :14:06.the tough terrain was taking its toll but they hoped the expedition
:14:07. > :14:09.would continue. Opposition activists in Syria have
:14:10. > :14:12.told the BBC they fear their revolution is being hijacked by
:14:13. > :14:15.foreign fighters linked to al-Qaeda. Thousands of foreign Jihadists have
:14:16. > :14:18.been pouring into Syria from around the world this year including a
:14:19. > :14:21.large contingent from western Europe. Richard Galpin reports from
:14:22. > :14:22.southern Turkey near the border with Syria.
:14:23. > :14:27.The hills of northern Syria, in the region just beyond here the
:14:28. > :14:42.revolution is being turned into a jihad or holy war, led by foreign
:14:43. > :14:46.extremists. This group is behind this change. More extreme than
:14:47. > :14:54.al-Qaeda, it's called on Muslims worldwide to join the Syrian jihad.
:14:55. > :15:00.I met a jihadist from France who has been fighting alongside ISIS. He
:15:01. > :15:04.rejects some of the extreme methods but shares their goal of an Islamic
:15:05. > :15:09.state in Syria for Sunni Muslims only, not for the minority Shia
:15:10. > :15:13.community. It is very, very important to fight in Syria. It has
:15:14. > :15:18.more significance for Muslims than any other land on earth, apart from
:15:19. > :15:24.Mecca. It is definitely a fight against the Shia. They are not part
:15:25. > :15:29.of our religion. This is one of the busy border crossing points here in
:15:30. > :15:35.southern Turkey that many jihadists use to reach Syria after travelling
:15:36. > :15:38.down from Istanbul. And increasingly organised route. What we have
:15:39. > :15:44.discovered here in this town, as in others along the border, is that
:15:45. > :15:46.there is network of safe houses for foreign jihadists where they can
:15:47. > :15:50.remain out of the sight of the Turkish authorities before they
:15:51. > :15:56.cross into Syria. There are even some safe houses which are
:15:57. > :16:00.exclusively for British jihadists. It was too dangerous to film the
:16:01. > :16:05.safe house we went to see. But the man who runs it agreed to come to
:16:06. > :16:10.our vehicle and be interviewed. I think more than 150 people stayed at
:16:11. > :16:15.the house over the past three months. Between 15 and 20 were
:16:16. > :16:20.British. They stay for a day or two before crossing into Syria. Most are
:16:21. > :16:26.joining the extremist group which now controls several towns in
:16:27. > :16:30.north-west Syria. It's also targeting the people who started the
:16:31. > :16:36.revolution. Here, a local commander of the original armed opposition,
:16:37. > :16:42.the Free Syrian Armiy is executed -- army is executed along with his men.
:16:43. > :16:49.A former member of the FSA, now in exile in Turkey, told me he was
:16:50. > :16:52.lucky to survive when his unit was captured by the foreign jihadists
:16:53. > :16:56.who said they were not true Muslims. I saw how they beat my friends with
:16:57. > :17:00.iron bars, smashed their faces with ammunition boxes, and then killed
:17:01. > :17:04.them. We made the revolution for freedom and equality, but the
:17:05. > :17:10.jihadists don't want this. They've come to destroy Syria. Like many
:17:11. > :17:15.other Syrian activists in exile here, he now fears the revolution
:17:16. > :17:26.and even his country could now be lost to the jihadists.
:17:27. > :17:35.Time for the sport now. Thank you very much. Good evening.
:17:36. > :17:38.England face an almost impossible task in attempting to save the
:17:39. > :17:41.second Ashes Test when play resumes in a couple of hours' time. A
:17:42. > :17:45.terrible batting performance saw England crumple yet again - all out
:17:46. > :17:48.for 172. Australia will have a lead of 530 runs when they start day
:17:49. > :17:52.four. Joe Wilson reports from Adelaide.
:17:53. > :17:57.There is a famous tale about the band playing on while the ship
:17:58. > :18:06.sinks, to jaunty Adelaide jazz England disappeared. Joe Root
:18:07. > :18:10.withstood the pace only to throw his wicket away. Kevin Pietersen's
:18:11. > :18:15.approach was one of those Pietersen shots. Australia predicted he would
:18:16. > :18:23.play it. Was batting possible? Certainly for Michael Carberry. On
:18:24. > :18:26.60 Carberry fell. A cuff catch from Warner -- a wonderful catch from
:18:27. > :18:31.Warner. Now over to Mitchell sdwlon son -- Johnson. Prior lasted four
:18:32. > :18:37.balls. Broad went to the first he faced. Swann stuck around for seven.
:18:38. > :18:41.Anderson another first bowl duck. Broken stumps mean much more than
:18:42. > :18:51.words about broken arms. No need to speak. In the middle of this Ian
:18:52. > :18:55.Bell attacked. Monty Panesar showed courage, no disgrace for him.
:18:56. > :19:00.England all out for 172, seven wickets for Mitchell Johnson. Do all
:19:01. > :19:03.English batsmen have the stomach to face him?
:19:04. > :19:09.Australia are under way in their second innings. They already lead by
:19:10. > :19:13.530. At some point on the fourth day they'll make England bat again,
:19:14. > :19:22.unleash Mitchell Johnson again, there's no hiding place.
:19:23. > :19:26.Match of the Day follows us on BBC1 so if you don't want to know today's
:19:27. > :19:29.Premier League results please pop out of the room. There were several
:19:30. > :19:32.surprises for teams vying for the title. Manchester United suffered a
:19:33. > :19:35.second defeat in four days, this time losing to Newcastle United. A
:19:36. > :19:38.goal from Johan Cabaye gave Newcastle their first victory at Old
:19:39. > :19:41.Trafford for over 40 years. Crystal Palace beat Cardiff City to
:19:42. > :19:42.record a second victory in a row. Liverpool are back in second place
:19:43. > :20:00.after a win over West Ham. In the Scottish Premiership:
:20:01. > :20:09.Inverness Caledonian Thistle failed to make up ground on Celtic.
:20:10. > :20:12.In Rugby Union's Heineken Cup Harlequins were impressive 32-8
:20:13. > :20:15.winners over Racing Metro. Saracens and Ulster beat Italian sides to top
:20:16. > :20:18.their groups. While Exeter and Scarlets were both defeated by
:20:19. > :20:21.French opposition. Northampton are struggling in third place in Pool 3
:20:22. > :20:24.after defeat to Leinster who top the group. Former Ireland captain Brian
:20:25. > :20:26.O Driscoll scored the last of Leinster's six tries in a 40-7
:20:27. > :20:30.victory. There was a special moment at the UK
:20:31. > :20:33.Snooker Championship in York this evening when Mark Selby made the
:20:34. > :20:45.100th 147 break in the history of the professional game. Selby, who is
:20:46. > :20:48.the defending champion had to make two difficult final shots but
:20:49. > :20:52.completed the maximum clearance and went on to beat Ricky Walden 9-5 to
:20:53. > :20:55.book a place in the final. That's all the sport.
:20:56. > :20:58.Thank you very much. That's all from me and the team here. Good night.
