:00:00. > :00:00.Pope Francis declares two of his predecessors saints in an historic
:00:07. > :00:18.ceremony at the Vatican. The moment was watched by hundreds
:00:19. > :00:23.of thousands of people in St Peter's Square. Details emerge about the
:00:24. > :00:27.five military personnel killed in the Lynx helicopter crash in
:00:28. > :00:30.Afghanistan. And South Korea's Prime Minister
:00:31. > :00:32.resigns over the sinking of the passenger ferry, which claimed
:00:33. > :00:55.hundreds of lives. Good afternoon. Two of the most
:00:56. > :01:01.influential popes of the 20th century have been made saints at a
:01:02. > :01:04.ceremony in the Vatican. In front of hundreds of thousands of people in
:01:05. > :01:11.St Peter's Square, John XXIII and John Paul II were canonised by the
:01:12. > :01:15.current Pope Francis. Our Religious Affairs Correspondent Robert Pigott
:01:16. > :01:19.reports from the Vatican. This report contains some flash
:01:20. > :01:24.photography. It was joyful, it was solemn, it was
:01:25. > :01:29.spectacular, it was humble. The moment when the church declared that
:01:30. > :01:33.two of its own had entered heaven are saints. It took place in the
:01:34. > :01:40.presence of orderly relics of the two men. A sliver of skin from the
:01:41. > :01:47.body of John XXIII, a vial of blood from John Paul II. Never before have
:01:48. > :01:51.two living Pope 's overseen the making of saints. In Latin, Pope
:01:52. > :01:52.Francis recited the formula by which mortal men were recognised as
:01:53. > :02:05.immortal saints. We declare and define blasted John
:02:06. > :02:09.XXIII and John Paul II to be saints and we enrolled them among the
:02:10. > :02:15.Saints, decreeing that they are to be venerated as such by the whole
:02:16. > :02:20.church. Almost 1 million came to witness this unprecedented event,
:02:21. > :02:24.packing St Peter's Square, the broad boulevard before it and the banks of
:02:25. > :02:30.the River Tiber beyond. Many were from Poland, a renewed upwelling of
:02:31. > :02:35.pride and affection for Pope John Paul II. The canonisation, in just
:02:36. > :02:39.nine years after his death, is the quickest ever. Some who questioned
:02:40. > :02:44.his handling of sex abuse say it happened too soon. Many others,
:02:45. > :02:50.however, say that he, like Pope John, lived a holy life. John Paul
:02:51. > :02:55.travelled the world as the church's charismatic Evangelist, giving
:02:56. > :02:59.Catholics renewed confidence. John XXIII in the greater the second
:03:00. > :03:04.Vatican Council in the 1960s that brought far-reaching reform to the
:03:05. > :03:10.church. Veteran churchmen say, together, they helped shape
:03:11. > :03:16.Catholicism as it is today. Only five years, but he conquered the
:03:17. > :03:22.world. Pope John Paul, to me, came over as, how shall I put it, a free
:03:23. > :03:27.man. Here I am, with my background, a Polish priest, Bishop, now Pope
:03:28. > :03:32.and this is what I stand for. It was very powerful. It was Pope Francis
:03:33. > :03:37.himself who decided to balance the canonisation of the traditionalist,
:03:38. > :03:42.John Paul, with the reforming Pope John. Both he is saying our models
:03:43. > :03:45.for the papacy and a United Church. In the last hour, more details have
:03:46. > :03:48.emerged about the five British military personnel killed yesterday
:03:49. > :03:52.when their Lynx helicopter crashed in Afghanistan. Three were from the
:03:53. > :03:54.Army Corps, one was an RAF serviceman and another a reservist
:03:55. > :04:02.with the Army Intelligence Corps. All those from the Joint Helicopter
:04:03. > :04:06.Command, in particular those stationed here at RAF Odiham, as
:04:07. > :04:15.well as those in wider Defence, will be deeply saddened by this dreadful
:04:16. > :04:17.news. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the families at this most
:04:18. > :04:26.difficult time. Our Defence Correspondent Caroline
:04:27. > :04:34.Wyatt is at the Ministry of Defence. What more do we know? Well, tributes
:04:35. > :04:38.have come in from across Defence. We know that at the crash site that has
:04:39. > :04:44.now been cordoned off, investigators are looking very closely at what
:04:45. > :04:48.happened. The rest of the Lynx fleet, we hear, will probably not be
:04:49. > :04:51.grounded as a result of this crash. We have had political tributes paid
:04:52. > :04:55.as well. David Cameron said, my heart goes out to the friends and
:04:56. > :05:01.family of those killed in this tragedy. This latest incident brings
:05:02. > :05:05.home to us once again how our armed forces continue to put their lives
:05:06. > :05:10.on the line to help the people of Afghanistan. A simple tribute from
:05:11. > :05:14.Ed Miliband, saying that people from across the UK was the saddened by
:05:15. > :05:17.the news. He said it was a tragic and poignant reminder of the
:05:18. > :05:20.sacrifices made by our Armed Forces when serving the country with
:05:21. > :05:23.bravery and distinction. South Korea's President has accepted
:05:24. > :05:25.the resignation of the Prime Minister, Chung Hong-won, over the
:05:26. > :05:31.government's handling of the sinking of the passenger ferry. The Prime
:05:32. > :05:36.Minister had earlier apologised for the disaster. More than 300 people
:05:37. > :05:37.are believed to be dead or missing. Lucy Williamson's report from Seoul
:05:38. > :05:45.contains flash photography. For almost two weeks, these images
:05:46. > :05:49.have haunted the nation. The slow and desperate search - first for
:05:50. > :05:54.survivors, then for bodies. It's still not over. And now South
:05:55. > :05:58.Korea's Prime Minister is paying with his job.
:05:59. > :06:03.TRANSLATION: I was planning to take responsibility and resign earlier.
:06:04. > :06:07.But I thought responding to the accident was the most urgent
:06:08. > :06:12.priority. But now I feel I am a burden. I have decided to resign.
:06:13. > :06:18.Families of those on board are angry with the government. This was their
:06:19. > :06:24.response when the Prime Minister visited them last week. The cries of
:06:25. > :06:30.those families, he said today, still keep me awake at night. Some are
:06:31. > :06:38.still there, waiting for the bodies of their children. More than 100
:06:39. > :06:43.passengers still haven't been found. Here in the capital, as mourners pay
:06:44. > :06:48.their condolences, there is criticism of the resignation. The
:06:49. > :06:51.main opposition party called it a cowardly ovation of responsibility
:06:52. > :06:55.and called on the President herself to apologise. This is now a country
:06:56. > :06:58.tortured by what might have been. Facing the truth that prosperity and
:06:59. > :07:01.growth offer no protection from broken rules or lack of duty, and
:07:02. > :07:07.mourning the ship full of children that proved it.
:07:08. > :07:12.The law is to be changed to make it illegal to download information
:07:13. > :07:16.about how to groom children for abuse. The Prime Minister has said
:07:17. > :07:18.the new offence will close a legal loophole which currently allows
:07:19. > :07:22.paedophiles to write and distribute such material.
:07:23. > :07:27.The police officer at the centre of the so-called plebgate dispute,
:07:28. > :07:30.involving the former government Chief Whip Andrew Mitchell, is
:07:31. > :07:37.seeking libel damages from him of up to ?200,000. PC Toby Rowland is
:07:38. > :07:41.suing Mr Mitchell for suggesting he wasn't telling the truth about the
:07:42. > :07:44.row at the gates of Downing Street. Mr Mitchell has denied allegations
:07:45. > :07:47.that he called police officers plebs.
:07:48. > :07:52.The former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, has said Britain is
:07:53. > :07:55.now a "post-Christian" country. In a newspaper interview today, Lord
:07:56. > :07:59.Williams says Britain is no longer a nation of believers. His comments
:08:00. > :08:04.come after David Cameron urged Christians to be more evangelical
:08:05. > :08:07.about their beliefs. Britain's banks and insurance
:08:08. > :08:12.companies are warning that quitting the EU would pose very significant
:08:13. > :08:15.risks to the UK. CityUK, which represents all major banks based
:08:16. > :08:21.here, commissioned a report to examine the UK's relationship with
:08:22. > :08:24.the EU from a financial perspective. It found that leaving the EU could
:08:25. > :08:28.harm investment in Britain and raise unemployment and prices. Our
:08:29. > :08:33.Business correspondent Joe Lynam explains.
:08:34. > :08:35.London is home to some of the largest banks, insurance companies
:08:36. > :08:39.and professional advisers in the world. Collectively, they account
:08:40. > :08:43.for almost 15% of the UK economy. So their opinion always gets a hearing
:08:44. > :08:47.in the corridors of power. This time, the city is very worried about
:08:48. > :08:50.Britain quitting the EU. In examining what Britain's economy
:08:51. > :08:54.might look like outside the EU, City UK says that UK banks may not be
:08:55. > :08:58.able to get full access to Europe's single market. Future financial
:08:59. > :09:03.rules could adversely affect British banks and insurance companies. And a
:09:04. > :09:08.British exit, known as Brexit, would lead to higher prices, higher
:09:09. > :09:12.unemployment and lower growth. Time and again, what we found was that
:09:13. > :09:16.only by membership do we get voting rights, do we have the right to veto
:09:17. > :09:18.unpopular measures that are not in our national interests. But, more
:09:19. > :09:23.importantly, membership of the European Union means that our
:09:24. > :09:29.recovery will continue. Exiting the EU means exiting 60% of the world's
:09:30. > :09:38.trade deals. It puts our economy at long-term risk. CityUK tried to
:09:39. > :09:41.scare us in the 1990s, saying we should join the Euro because the
:09:42. > :09:44.city will fail and all the business will go to Frankfurt. It's trying to
:09:45. > :09:49.scaremonger again If Britain does vote to leave, it won't be the end
:09:50. > :09:51.of the world. The city is a global marketplace and it will still
:09:52. > :09:54.succeed, whatever happens. With European Parliament elections taking
:09:55. > :09:57.place next month, you can expect a lot more debate, discussion and
:09:58. > :10:00.polarising opinion on the issue of Britain's relationship with the
:10:01. > :10:01.European Union. And that's still three years before a possible in-out
:10:02. > :10:12.referendum in 2017. You can see more on all of today's
:10:13. > :10:14.stories on the BBC News Channel. Our next bulletin on BBC One is at 6:35
:10:15. > :10:40.this evening. Goodbye. There are some significant changes
:10:41. > :10:46.on the way later this week will stop high pressure will be in charge. It
:10:47. > :10:50.will stay very unsettled at the moment with heavy showers in the
:10:51. > :10:57.south. At the end of the week, it will turn drier and colder. This is
:10:58. > :11:02.the satellite picture. There is an area of low pressure in the South
:11:03. > :11:09.producing some showers. There is some sunshine and drier weather in
:11:10. > :11:13.the North. We might pick up one or two showers in Northern Ireland.
:11:14. > :11:21.Showers could increase in the West of Scotland. More eastern areas
:11:22. > :11:27.could see a lot more low pressure. It will be increasingly wet. On the
:11:28. > :11:32.other side of the Pennines, it will be drier and brighter. It should be
:11:33. > :11:38.drier and brighter across East Anglia. Elsewhere we are into the
:11:39. > :11:43.showers. Some of the showers will be heavy, possibly with hail and under.
:11:44. > :11:48.They will push their way northwards into the Midlands and possibly
:11:49. > :11:54.Wales. A lot of showers around. A lot of those will decay overnight.
:11:55. > :12:01.Patchy rain and drizzle will sink further south. Not much rain in the
:12:02. > :12:06.north. There will be a lot of low cloud by the end of the night. The
:12:07. > :12:12.weather pattern will not change much over the next few days. This low
:12:13. > :12:17.pressure is providing a focus for the showers. The weather front is
:12:18. > :12:23.weak in the North, producing rain but more in the way of cloud. Away
:12:24. > :12:32.from here, it may brighten up to the south. There will be some fierce
:12:33. > :12:37.storms. There could be big totals of rain across the Midlands, the South
:12:38. > :12:42.and across East Anglia. The warmth will be in the North West of
:12:43. > :12:46.Scotland. On Tuesday, a lot of low cloud will keep it chilly in
:12:47. > :12:53.Scotland and the North of England. Again the threat of some heavy, slow
:12:54. > :13:00.moving showers. Still some showery rain across southern parts of
:13:01. > :13:05.England. We will pick up some moisture from across the Atlantic.
:13:06. > :13:10.There will be rain in the West of Scotland. More likely in Northern
:13:11. > :13:17.Ireland overnight. Quite a poor day. That is where we have the
:13:18. > :13:22.highest temperatures. But the North, it is turning colder and drier. In
:13:23. > :13:28.the north-east, significantly brighter. Any remaining warm air
:13:29. > :13:34.will be in the south. It will push across the whole of the country on
:13:35. > :13:41.Friday. Some showers in the east, which will be wintry on the high
:13:42. > :13:46.ground. There will be a brisk north to north-easterly wind which will
:13:47. > :13:52.make it feel cold everywhere. We end the week with high-pressure sitting
:13:53. > :13:55.right over the UK. Not necessarily entirely good news. With clear
:13:56. > :13:58.skies, a widespread frost.
