:00:08. > :00:14.Qatar denies any wrongdoing after new allegations that bribery helped

:00:15. > :00:18.win its bid to host the World Cup. There are demands for a new FIFA

:00:19. > :00:22.inquiry and for Qatar to be stripped of the tournament if corruption is

:00:23. > :00:25.confirmed. It certainly looks serious. There

:00:26. > :00:30.certainly needs to be an investigation. If it's shown that

:00:31. > :00:33.there was bribery and corruption going on, then obviously the whole

:00:34. > :00:37.bidding process has to be looked at again.

:00:38. > :00:42.French prosecutors say a man arrested over the attack on a Jewish

:00:43. > :00:44.mewsium in Belgium may have spent time with Islamist fighters in

:00:45. > :00:48.Syria. -- museum. The Met Office says more

:00:49. > :00:56.summer storms and flash floods are likely as the world's climate warms.

:00:57. > :00:58.Arsenal are the FA Cup winners... And it's a double for Arsenal, now

:00:59. > :01:22.the women's team lift the FA Cup. Good evening.

:01:23. > :01:26.Qatar has denied new allegations of corruption over the decision to

:01:27. > :01:31.award it the 2022 football World Cup. Millions of leaked documents,

:01:32. > :01:35.said to reveal payments made if return for votes, have been obtained

:01:36. > :01:39.by the Sunday Times. Qatar says the man at the centre of the allegations

:01:40. > :01:42.played no role in its bid. Here, the Head of The Football

:01:43. > :01:46.Association has called for the contest to be rerun if corruption is

:01:47. > :01:50.proven. Our Sports Editor, David Bond,

:01:51. > :01:55.reports. England's World Cup voyage started

:01:56. > :01:59.today, the team flying from Luton to Miami to fine tune their

:02:00. > :02:03.preparations before heading to Rio to be part of football's biggest

:02:04. > :02:09.party. But it wasn't Brazil that was making

:02:10. > :02:12.headlines today. It was future hosts Qatar, who're once again facing

:02:13. > :02:18.allegations that they broke FIFA's rules, to secure the 2022

:02:19. > :02:23.tournament. The Sunday Times alleges that

:02:24. > :02:27.Qatar's former FIFA Vice-President, Mohammed bin Hamam was at the centre

:02:28. > :02:31.of a covert campaign to win his country the World Cup. Millions of

:02:32. > :02:39.secret documents, some of which have been seen by the BBC, suggest he was

:02:40. > :02:43.using a ?3 million fund to bribe officials in Africa in return for

:02:44. > :02:47.supporting Qatar. Today, the Head of The FA told me that if the

:02:48. > :02:52.allegations are proved, then FIFA should rerun the vote.

:02:53. > :03:00.I think if it's shown that it was a corrupt system and that the people

:03:01. > :03:05.who won used bribery and other influents to get the vote, of course

:03:06. > :03:09.it's got to be done again. FIFA's chief investigator, Michael Garcia,

:03:10. > :03:14.must now add these latest claims to his long-running inquiry into the

:03:15. > :03:16.World Cup bid. Today, Qatar once again denied any wrongdoing and in a

:03:17. > :03:40.statement said: But Qatar just can't shake off the

:03:41. > :03:48.criticism, whether it's corruption, the heat or the treatment of migrant

:03:49. > :03:52.labourers, the clamour for a revote is heightening. Before the claims

:03:53. > :03:58.emerged, the Head of FIFA insisted there would be no U-turn. They want

:03:59. > :04:03.to say that for me the World Cup today is 2018 Russia, in 2022 Qatar

:04:04. > :04:07.and we are working on the next two World Cups in these two countries.

:04:08. > :04:11.With stadium delays and concerns over protest, the World Cup in

:04:12. > :04:16.Brazil is already causing FIFA enough headaches. Qatar! But it's

:04:17. > :04:20.the tournament eight years from now in Qatar which threatens to pose

:04:21. > :04:24.even bigger problems for world football.

:04:25. > :04:31.French prosecutors say a man arrested in Marseille over last

:04:32. > :04:36.week's deadly shooting at the Jewish museum in Brussels recently returned

:04:37. > :04:41.from Syria. It's thought he may have been involved with Islamist groups

:04:42. > :04:45.there. Three people died from where Chris Morris reports. A cold-blooded

:04:46. > :04:49.killing caught on CCTV. Eight days ago, a man walked into the Jewish

:04:50. > :04:54.museum in Brussels and opened fire with a hand gun. And then a

:04:55. > :05:00.Kalashnikov. Three people were killed and another is clinically

:05:01. > :05:04.dead. Now an arrest has been made. A bus station in Marseille after a

:05:05. > :05:11.random drugs search. This is the suspect in custody,

:05:12. > :05:14.named by prosecutors. He's now being questioned at the headquarters of

:05:15. > :05:18.the French domestic intelligence agency. In his possession when

:05:19. > :05:22.arrested were guns of the type used in Brussels, one of them wrapped in

:05:23. > :05:29.a Jihadist flag and a video in which the authorities say he claimed

:05:30. > :05:34.responsibility for the attack. He was probably radicalised the last

:05:35. > :05:37.year and is presumed to have joined fighting Jihadist groups in Syria in

:05:38. > :05:42.2013. At the scene of the crime, the

:05:43. > :05:46.museum is still closed and security is highly visible. But all this

:05:47. > :05:50.could be part of a rather disturbing bigger picture.

:05:51. > :05:54.The potential connection between the shootings that happened here and the

:05:55. > :05:59.Civil War in Syria will be of huge concern. The Government and

:06:00. > :06:04.intelligence agencies across Europe will find it a concern. Groups are

:06:05. > :06:10.known to have gone to Sir to fights for Jihadist groups. Monitoring

:06:11. > :06:14.those who return is now a priority. Gone to Syria to fight for Jihadist

:06:15. > :06:18.groups. The President of the museum said he took little satisfaction

:06:19. > :06:26.from the arrest in France. They've got a few thousand people who can

:06:27. > :06:32.replace this killer. So... It's the first step, but it's not finished.

:06:33. > :06:35.Images like this inside a museum mean this is an issue now attracting

:06:36. > :06:44.the highest level of political attention.

:06:45. > :06:49.TRANSLATION: We are doing all we can so these Jihadists, either people

:06:50. > :06:53.who've been in Syria or who are there now, are followed and

:06:54. > :06:55.prevented from doing harm and notably when they return

:06:56. > :06:58.and Europe. As people continue to pay their

:06:59. > :07:04.respects, the Belgian authorities are applying for the ex-that digs of

:07:05. > :07:07.the suspect. Many questions remain -- extradition of the suspect.

:07:08. > :07:11.Our Security Correspondent, Frank Gardner is here in the studio with

:07:12. > :07:14.me. What do you make of this potential connection to the war in

:07:15. > :07:18.Syria? Well, he spent most of last year there. We don't know exactly

:07:19. > :07:23.with whom, but it's believed to be with one of the more extremists

:07:24. > :07:25.groups because he had his flag wrapped around the machine gun that

:07:26. > :07:30.he was found with at the time of his arrest. The investigators are trying

:07:31. > :07:34.to get some answers out of him, but he's not answering at the moment.

:07:35. > :07:37.This is the tip of the iceberg of a much wider phenomena worrying

:07:38. > :07:42.governments in Europe and particularly in Britain because an

:07:43. > :07:45.estimated 500 or so Britons are believed to have left the UK to

:07:46. > :07:49.fight in Syria. Quite a few have been arrested on their return. A

:07:50. > :07:53.number of Syria related arrests from people coming back from Syria is

:07:54. > :07:58.more in the first half of this year than the whole of last year. What

:07:59. > :08:02.people are worried about is that they'll have mixed with people

:08:03. > :08:06.who've witnessed such barbaric acts of atrocity, sometimes on the

:08:07. > :08:10.receiving end of them, that their threshold for violence will be that

:08:11. > :08:15.much lower and they'll be tempted to carry out acts of vice lens. The

:08:16. > :08:21.ratio is one in nine, that people go out to fight and come back. There

:08:22. > :08:24.will be an Interior Ministry meeting on Thursday on how the deal with

:08:25. > :08:28.this as a whole with Europe. Thank you.

:08:29. > :08:32.Police say that at least 40 people have been killed in a bomb in

:08:33. > :08:38.north-east Nigeria. The blast targeted people watching a football

:08:39. > :08:45.match in the town of Mubi, one of three areas under a state of

:08:46. > :08:50.emergency due to ongoing violence by the group Boko Haram. A shake-up of

:08:51. > :08:54.pensions is due to be announced in the Queen's speech on Wednesday.

:08:55. > :08:57.Staff will be able to put their money into Dutch-style pensions for

:08:58. > :09:02.the first time. It's believed it can keep the costs down, increasing

:09:03. > :09:07.pension payments. Let's join Ross Hawkins at Westminster. How will

:09:08. > :09:11.this work in the UK? The idea is you take out individual pots, put them

:09:12. > :09:16.into a bigger collective fund. What the politicians hope is economies of

:09:17. > :09:21.scale mean that you can have higher returns, maybe even 30% higher. But,

:09:22. > :09:25.those returns aren't guaranteed. Your pension could even go down

:09:26. > :09:29.after you started claiming it. The Government's going to have to work

:09:30. > :09:33.out how this works alongside its other big pensions innovation which

:09:34. > :09:36.would be to let people have more access to their savings after the

:09:37. > :09:40.age of 55. This would start after the general election, but Labour

:09:41. > :09:44.pretty much backed the idea. It's very likely to become a reality.

:09:45. > :09:48.It's worth noting I think that the minister behind this is a Liberal

:09:49. > :09:52.Democrat. On this Queen's Speech week, they'll be very keen to talk

:09:53. > :09:55.about policy, rather than the arguments they have had internally

:09:56. > :10:00.about who should lead their party. Thank you.

:10:01. > :10:03.The parents of an American soldier freed from Taliban captivity say

:10:04. > :10:09.that he'll need time to recover after his five year ordeal. Bowe

:10:10. > :10:13.Bergdahl's family've not been able to speak to him since he was handed

:10:14. > :10:18.over to US forces. He's being treated at a military hospital in

:10:19. > :10:24.Germany. As David Loyn reports, the deal that saw him exchanged for the

:10:25. > :10:29.release of five prisoners, has prompted criticism of the President

:10:30. > :10:33.Obama administration. The ribbons were replaced by balloons of

:10:34. > :10:38.celebration in Idaho. The soldier began recouperation in a specialist

:10:39. > :10:42.medical centre in Germany. The tall Boon were celebrating as their five

:10:43. > :10:46.captives reached Qatar and calling this a great victory. Those words

:10:47. > :10:49.will enage President Obama's Republican opponents who see the

:10:50. > :10:53.decision to release the Taliban from Guantanamo Bay as giving way to

:10:54. > :11:02.terrorists. I don't think what we did in getting

:11:03. > :11:11.our prisoner of war released in any way would somehow encourage

:11:12. > :11:15.terrorists to take our American servicemen prisoner or hostage. He

:11:16. > :11:19.said he hoped the prisoner exchange might lead to a wider peace

:11:20. > :11:25.settlement with the Taliban. The Taliban said they got what they want

:11:26. > :11:29.for now. President Obama appearing from Sergeant Bergdahl's parents

:11:30. > :11:34.said he did not inform the after began government ahead of it.

:11:35. > :11:39.Sergeant Bergdahl's missed birthdays, holidays, and the simple

:11:40. > :11:44.moments with families and friends which we take for granted. While

:11:45. > :11:49.Bowe Bergdahl was gone, he was never forgotten. We just can't communicate

:11:50. > :11:53.the words this morning when we heard from the President. So we look

:11:54. > :12:04.forward to continuing the recovery of our son which is going to be a

:12:05. > :12:08.considerable task for our family. One family reunited, just months

:12:09. > :12:15.before US combat operations end here.

:12:16. > :12:20.The Met Office is warning there'll be more summer flash floods because

:12:21. > :12:24.of climate change. A new report says while summers are expected to be

:12:25. > :12:27.drier by the next century, intense rainfall means flash flooding will

:12:28. > :12:33.become more frequent. Our Environment Correspondent,

:12:34. > :12:39.Claire Marshall, explains. Boscastle, August 2004. A month's

:12:40. > :12:43.worth of rain fell in a few hours, a sudden violent storm in mid summer.

:12:44. > :12:47.Now the latest research from the Met Office suggests that summer time

:12:48. > :12:52.downpours and flash flooding like this will become much more common.

:12:53. > :12:57.Our warming climate means that this could be five times the number of

:12:58. > :13:00.extreme rainfall events per hour. So many more of us could suffer like

:13:01. > :13:06.this. There's the flood level. It's up to

:13:07. > :13:09.the guttering. I saw the water actually burst through my kitchen

:13:10. > :13:15.window and we had to evacuate. This is one of the world's most

:13:16. > :13:19.powerful super computers, the Met Office has been using it to model

:13:20. > :13:23.the future. It's taken nine months. Until now, climate models have not

:13:24. > :13:27.been able to accurately simulate these kind of local storms. This

:13:28. > :13:32.model is incredibly realistic and for the first time, it allows us to

:13:33. > :13:35.look at this hourly rainfall which is responsible for the summer

:13:36. > :13:39.intense downpours. Downpours like here in

:13:40. > :13:44.Leicestershire last June. Now this is only one model. It uses the

:13:45. > :13:49.international panel on climate change east mows extreme prediction

:13:50. > :13:55.data and only the second half of the country was studied. Scientists say

:13:56. > :14:01.it's a piece of hard evidence -- most extreme prediction data. Urban

:14:02. > :14:03.areas are vulnerable because drains are easily overwhelmed. But there

:14:04. > :14:09.are solutions. Look at what they are doing at this business park in

:14:10. > :14:13.Bristol. This concrete is permeable. The water can be soaked in and can

:14:14. > :14:17.be held as a store. If it gets through that, the water can come

:14:18. > :14:21.down here to this grassy lined gully where it can soak away slowly. And

:14:22. > :14:27.if that doesn't work, there's this tunnel. The scientists hope that

:14:28. > :14:32.their model might help policy-makers plan for the challenges posed by our

:14:33. > :14:37.future climate. Now time for the sport and let's

:14:38. > :14:41.join Ore Oduba. Good evening. Good evening to you. The World Cup

:14:42. > :14:45.squad are set to land in Florida in the next few hours as they finalise

:14:46. > :14:49.preparations for their tournament in Brazil. With just over two weeks

:14:50. > :14:53.until the opening match, Roy Hodgson says the team are looking forward to

:14:54. > :14:57.beginning their World Cup journey. It's going to be a great adventure I

:14:58. > :15:03.think. We are all very excited about it and we've got the perfect

:15:04. > :15:07.send-off on Friday night, the crowd was quite magnificent. I think we

:15:08. > :15:11.are in a positive mood. We feel positive, we'll do what we can. Our

:15:12. > :15:16.chief sports correspondent, Dan Roan, is in mimeny. What are England

:15:17. > :15:19.hoping to achieve over the next week -- Miami? It's all about

:15:20. > :15:24.acclimatisation. England when they land in the next hour or so, will

:15:25. > :15:28.discover exactly the kind of conditions that await them in Brazil

:15:29. > :15:32.because it's very, very humid here in Miami. Very similar to the

:15:33. > :15:37.sweltering temperatures that they'll face in the opening World Cup

:15:38. > :15:41.fixture less than two weeks away now against Italy in the Amazon jungle.

:15:42. > :15:46.So similar conditions and opponents too because they also face Uruguay

:15:47. > :15:50.and Costa Rica in their group and Hodgson's lined up friendlies,

:15:51. > :15:55.Ecuador on Wednesday and Honduras on Saturday. That will be useful for

:15:56. > :15:58.the players. A real sense of optimism and calm is developing

:15:59. > :16:05.around the squad. What they must do this week is avoid injuries and

:16:06. > :16:08.controversies that is blighted build-ups to tournaments in many

:16:09. > :16:13.years. Despite their position at the bottom of the women's Super League,

:16:14. > :16:18.Arsenal ladies are celebrating after retaining their what cup title. A

:16:19. > :16:22.2-0 victory over Everton saw Arsenal lift the trophy for a record #139

:16:23. > :16:26.time. Tim Hague reports -- 13th time. The Arsenal men already have

:16:27. > :16:29.the FA Cup locked away in their trophy Cabinet. Now for the women's

:16:30. > :16:35.chance and the Gunners almost fired in after only nine minutes against

:16:36. > :16:42.Everton. Yanky denied. Captain Kelly Smith had no such problems.

:16:43. > :16:44.Here is Kelly Smith. Perfection. But that goal

:16:45. > :16:49.Here is Kelly Smith. Perfection. Smith who scored in every round for

:16:50. > :16:53.Arsenal coming so close to her second.

:16:54. > :16:57.Soon after, she played provider instead. Kinga giving the parting

:16:58. > :17:01.manager Shelley Kerr the perfect send-off.

:17:02. > :17:09.The double achieved for Arsenal then, the men and now the women FA

:17:10. > :17:14.Cup winners. Andy Murray's into the fourth round

:17:15. > :17:18.of the French Open, but only after a tense deciding set against his

:17:19. > :17:23.opponent. After bad light ended play yesterday, it took Murray until the

:17:24. > :17:27.22nd game of the final set to eventually overcome the German.

:17:28. > :17:30.He'll play for a place in the quarter-finals tomorrow.

:17:31. > :17:36.That's all your sport. Thank you. A reminder of main news.

:17:37. > :17:40.Qatar's denied wrongdoing after new claims that millions of pounds of

:17:41. > :17:43.bribes were paid out during its successful campaign to host the 2022

:17:44. > :17:47.football World Cup. More on that and all of today's

:17:48. > :17:49.stories on the BBC News Channel. That's it for us. Stay
