:00:20. > :00:27.A former nurse has appeared in court in Manchester accused of murdering
:00:28. > :00:29.three patients. Victorino Chua, who's 48, was charged after a long
:00:30. > :00:33.police investigation at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport. He's
:00:34. > :00:34.also accused of 31 other offences, including attempted poisoning. Our
:00:35. > :00:52.correspondent Ed Thomas reports. After two years on bail, the moment
:00:53. > :00:56.Victorino Chua was rearrested by police. The former nurse is accused
:00:57. > :01:02.of poisoning patients at Stepping Hill Hospital. He arrived at court
:01:03. > :01:07.to face 30 charges. They included three counts of murder, 22 of
:01:08. > :01:12.attempted grievous bodily harm with a tent, and seven counts of
:01:13. > :01:18.attempting to poison patients. Police were first called in July
:01:19. > :01:24.2011 after the deaths of Tracey Arden, Arnold Lancaster, and Derek
:01:25. > :01:30.Weaver. Detectives believe they were given say line contaminated with
:01:31. > :01:35.insulin. The BBC has been given access to the hospital, the place
:01:36. > :01:41.where staff and patients are now watched over like never before.
:01:42. > :01:45.There are hundreds of CCTV cameras outside the wards, filming everyone
:01:46. > :01:49.coming in and out. Stepping Hill Hospital 's own security team
:01:50. > :01:54.patrolling the corridors with support officers from Greater
:01:55. > :01:58.Manchester Police. Nurses who need to administer insulin work in pairs,
:01:59. > :02:03.they check each other while cameras check them. The hospital says it is
:02:04. > :02:10.about making patients and staff feel safe. Three years ago, another
:02:11. > :02:14.former nurse Rebecca Leighton was held for six weeks, suspected of
:02:15. > :02:21.tampering with say nine bags. All charges against her were dropped.
:02:22. > :02:23.Today, Victorino Chua was taken away in a prison van, remanded in custody
:02:24. > :02:30.to appear in Crown Court next week. The first same-sex marriages have
:02:31. > :02:35.taken place in England and Wales after the law enabling them to go
:02:36. > :02:38.ahead came into force at midnight. David Cameron said it sent out a
:02:39. > :02:40.powerful message about equality in Britain, but some religious groups
:02:41. > :02:56.remain opposed. Reeta Chakrabarti's report contains some flash
:02:57. > :02:59.photography. I am now very happy to announce that you are now legally
:03:00. > :03:01.husband and husband. Just after midnight, they were pronounced
:03:02. > :03:04.husband and husband. Squeals of delight drowned out the words. In
:03:05. > :03:07.London and Brighton, men were marrying men. Same-sex marriage had
:03:08. > :03:14.legally arrived, and today there was more to come. Same-sex couples have
:03:15. > :03:18.been waiting for this day for years, across the country. It marks a
:03:19. > :03:22.moment of major social change, and personal joy.
:03:23. > :03:28.I am so happy. We will celebrate the rest of the day. It means so much we
:03:29. > :03:35.have had our friends and loved ones here. I am really happy.
:03:36. > :03:38.Lou and Aarron could have had a civil partnership, which could have
:03:39. > :03:41.given them identical legal rights, but they held out for today. The
:03:42. > :03:42.government brought same-sex marriage into law last year. David Cameron
:03:43. > :03:55.tweeted this message today. Love being what holds you together.
:03:56. > :04:03.Some, like this Huddersfield couple, are having a humanist ceremony after
:04:04. > :04:06.the registry office. But they couldn't have a church wedding, as
:04:07. > :04:09.the law prevents the Church of England conducting them, and allows
:04:10. > :04:11.other religious groups to refuse to perform them. Some Christians say
:04:12. > :04:17.their opposition is about protecting marriage.
:04:18. > :04:20.We can't redefine an institution, something that has always has been,
:04:21. > :04:25.because we say it is something we want. It is self-centred. It's not
:04:26. > :04:30.about rights, but seeking cultural dominance and redefining marriage
:04:31. > :04:34.for all of us. There is a deep vein of dissent but,
:04:35. > :04:42.overall, this is a big moment in society's concept of what marriage
:04:43. > :04:44.is. A ritual millions of heterosexual couples have for
:04:45. > :04:47.centuries taken for granted, has been opened up to any couple,
:04:48. > :04:50.regardless which gender they love. Ships from China and Australia have
:04:51. > :04:54.picked up objects in the area being searched for the remains of the
:04:55. > :04:58.missing Malaysia Airlines flight. They were retrieved during the first
:04:59. > :05:01.day in the new search area, but none of the items have been confirmed to
:05:02. > :05:07.be related to the missing plane. From Perth, Jonah Fisher reports.
:05:08. > :05:12.Having lost more passengers than any other country, China now plays a
:05:13. > :05:16.growing role in efforts to find the missing aeroplane. Today from its
:05:17. > :05:23.aircraft joined those from Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
:05:24. > :05:27.All looking for some sign that MH370 had ended its last flight in the
:05:28. > :05:32.waters of the Indian Ocean. This was the first full day in yet another
:05:33. > :05:37.search area. New analysis of the fuel consumption of the plane has
:05:38. > :05:41.moved efforts 700 miles to the north. Several planes have seen
:05:42. > :05:45.objects in this new search area but it won't be until ships follow up on
:05:46. > :05:52.information that we will have any idea whether this new debris has
:05:53. > :05:58.anything to do with slight MH370. This was the Chinese ship finding
:05:59. > :06:06.and then fishing something man made out of the sea. Was this piece of
:06:07. > :06:12.soggy paper the first trace of the missing plane? After taking a closer
:06:13. > :06:16.look, the verdict was probably not. In Malaysia, officials once again
:06:17. > :06:21.met with relatives of those on board. Miracles do happen. Promote
:06:22. > :06:26.or otherwise, that is the hope the family members want me to convey not
:06:27. > :06:32.only to the Malaysians government, but to the world at large. 26
:06:33. > :06:37.countries and a team of experts have been working on this case. But the
:06:38. > :06:45.world's greatest aviation mystery still feels a very long way from
:06:46. > :06:50.being solved. Here, two men died when a light
:06:51. > :06:55.aircraft crashed in Chelmsford in Essex. It went down in a field
:06:56. > :07:02.having taken off from a nearby airfield.
:07:03. > :07:06.George Osborne again dismissed the idea that a deal could be done to
:07:07. > :07:09.allow Scotland to retain the pound in the event of independence. The
:07:10. > :07:11.Chancellor was reacting to a newspaper report in which an unnamed
:07:12. > :07:15.Westminster minister claimed Scotland would be able to use the
:07:16. > :07:19.pound even if it voted to leave the UK. Let's go live to our Scotland
:07:20. > :07:26.political editor Brian Taylor. The Chancellor is adamant on the issue?
:07:27. > :07:30.He is, he is adamant on this issue, but his opponents, the Scottish
:07:31. > :07:35.Nationalists and others say it was always a bluff by the Chancellor.
:07:36. > :07:42.And they say today's report proves that to be the case. I am at the Lib
:07:43. > :07:47.Dem conference everyone who supports the union campaign is furious at
:07:48. > :07:51.this development. It gives a Philip to their opponents. They insist
:07:52. > :07:57.there is actually in charge of the UK economy as opposed to unnamed
:07:58. > :08:01.ministers, they say, remain resolutely opposed to the idea of a
:08:02. > :08:06.currency union. It is for the voters to decide who is credible in this
:08:07. > :08:08.regard. In today's Premier League matches,
:08:09. > :08:11.the leaders Chelsea were beaten 1-0 at struggling Crystal Palace. But
:08:12. > :08:16.Manchester United bounced back with a big win at Old Trafford against
:08:17. > :08:19.Aston Villa. During the match, a banner was flown over the stadium,
:08:20. > :08:23.calling for the manager David Moyes to be sacked, as Olly Foster
:08:24. > :08:30.reports. Mixed messages at Old Trafford, a
:08:31. > :08:33.rousing welcome for David Moyes, but as one group of fans made this
:08:34. > :08:38.banner, another set of supporters flew this one about the stadium. The
:08:39. > :08:42.manager would have been more worried about this flying in the top corner,
:08:43. > :08:50.the signs were bad when Ashley Westwood give -- gave Aston Villa
:08:51. > :08:56.the lead. Two goals by half-time, this one in the penalty. Benteke
:08:57. > :09:00.squandered a hat-trick of chances for Villa but those would be
:09:01. > :09:07.forgiven -- forgotten in the scoreline. With this substitute
:09:08. > :09:10.striker in injury time, this was almost like the good old days but
:09:11. > :09:15.there could be difficult days ahead. The gloom may have lifted a
:09:16. > :09:19.little but there could be another reality check for United on Tuesday
:09:20. > :09:22.when they face the European champions Bayern Munich in the
:09:23. > :09:25.quarterfinals of the Champions League.
:09:26. > :09:27.And finally, Britain's Lewis Hamilton will start from pole
:09:28. > :09:33.position in tomorrow's Malaysian Grand Prix. In heavy, tropical rain
:09:34. > :09:36.the Mercedes driver pipped Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel by just five
:09:37. > :09:38.hundreths of a second. It was Hamilton's 33rd pole position of his
:09:39. > :09:45.career, equalling Jim Clark's record for a British Formula 1 driver.
:09:46. > :09:50.We're back with the late news at 10.10pm. Now on BBC One, it's time
:09:51. > :09:51.for the news where you are. Goodbye.
