20,000 people in a town in northern Iraq face massacre by | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
As the hunt continues for the extremists who murdered | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
a US journalist, the United Nations says they're now closing in | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
They are women, children, elderly, people with special needs | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
and this is why whenever we talk to them there is | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
A Briton contracts the Ebola virus in Sierra Leone, as more countries | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
Hospitals are told to cut the cost parking for some patients | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
And, if at first you don't succeed - Leeds Rhinos win the Challenge Cup, | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
The United Nations has warned that thousands of people in a town | :00:50. | :01:16. | |
in northern Iraq are facing the threat of massacre, | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
It comes as the hunt continues for one member of the group, believed | :01:19. | :01:28. | |
to be a Briton, who murdered the American journalist James Foley. | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
The UN says Islamic State have surrounded the town of Amerli, | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
where 20,000 people are trapped with little food or water. | :01:35. | :01:48. | |
Kirkuk, in flames, the capital of the oil-rich northern problems | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
currently controlled by Kurdish forces, hit by three big car bombs | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
in swift succession, causing heavy casualties. Acts of provocation for | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
which Sunni militants are blamed. The Islamic state militants shocked | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
the world, when they stormed in from Syria, and took over large parts of | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
Iraq in June including the country 's second city, Mosul. The | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
deliberate use of terror tactics included the videoed beheading of an | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
American journalist, James Foley, earlier this week. Many Syrians and | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
Iraqis have suffered a similar fate. Christians are among the regions | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
many minorities singled out for persecution, these families driven | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
from their ancestral homes close to Mosul. Now the focus is on another | :02:37. | :02:48. | |
minority, the Shia, in Amerli, conditions are desperate with little | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
food, water and electricity. The UN fears the worst, if the terrorists | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
moving. You are worried there could be a massacre? We are worried and we | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
have all of the reasons to be worried because we have seen this | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
before. We have no reason to believe it would be any different this time. | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
The onslaught from IS has created a massive humanitarian disaster with | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
the UN launching its biggest push for aid in decades, to help those | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
who have fled their homes. Iraq has been turned upside down by the | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
radicals, they have taken large parts of Syria, too. They are on the | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
march and there can be no compromise with their brand of Islam, this is | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
the massive challenge facing the region and the world. | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
Here, the government is considering new powers, to try to | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
prevent British people going abroad to fight for Islamist groups. | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
In a newspaper interview, the Home Secretary Theresa May said | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
"I am looking again at the case for new banning orders, | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
for extremist groups that fall short of the legal threshold | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
Our Political Correspondent Ben Wright is in Westminster. | :03:55. | :04:04. | |
In practical terms, what does this mean? At the moment only groups that | :04:05. | :04:14. | |
the government believes are directly involved in terrorism can be | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
prescribed, band, it is illegal to belong to them. The Home Secretary | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
is suggesting the net could be widened to include other groups, | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
haps those using hateful language -- perhaps. She's talking about further | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
restrictions on those involved in radicalisation is. We're talking | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
about a raft of new legislation. There is not much detail about who | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
the measures would apply to and when they would come in, this is the | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
criticism Labour have made. Everything the Home Secretary was | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
talking about was recommended in an extremist and task force which was | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
published last year, the government said it was thinking about the | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
recommendations, it is still considering it today. As some Tory | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
MPs, a little uncomfortable from this approach, couple saying there | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
should be a revival of control orders which were replaced in 2011. | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
I was speaking to former Defence Secretary Liam Fox, he said measures | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
on interception and surveillance should be looked at again. This is a | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
political can of worms and the coalition will not be keen to reopen | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
it. Two men have been remanded in | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
custody, following the death of an Afghan migrant who was found in a | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
container at Tilbury docks in Essex. Stephen McLaughlin and | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
Timothy Murphy appeared before magistrates in Chelmsford, | :05:40. | :05:40. | |
accused of conspiring to facilitate The man who died was among 35 Afghan | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
Sikhs found at the docks a week ago. There is flash photography | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
in this report by Jane Peel. The group of Afghans had travelled | :05:49. | :05:59. | |
thousands of miles to what they hoped would be a better life. They | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
were found in a container, which had arrived at Tilbury on a ferry from | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
Belgium. Dock workers heard the banging and screaming when they | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
opened the container, they found one man, a 40-year-old, dead. The rest | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
of the group including a number of children were severely dihydrate it | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
-- dehydrated. Two men in their early 30s, both lorry drivers from | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
Londonderry, were arrested this week. They were charged late last | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
night and appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court in Essex this | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
morning. Timothy Murphy and Stephen McLaughlin are accused of conspiring | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
together and with other people unknown, to clandestine convey 35 | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
Afghan 's by sea to an English port. In breach of immigration law. They | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
were both denied bail and they were remanded in custody, ahead of a | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
hearing at Basildon Crown Court in November. This photo, taken by a | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
local Afghan temple a few days after the migrants were found shows | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
members of the community who gave them support and some of those that | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
they helped. The survivors are in the process of claiming asylum in | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
Britain. Essex Police say they are investigating and it continues. | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
Israel has launched scores of air strikes against Gaza, following | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
the breakdown of a temporary truce, and Egyptian-brokered talks, | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
The new round of bombing came after Israel promised it would | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
escalate its campaign, following the death of an Israeli child | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
A 12 storey apartment block in Gaza City was also brought down, | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
Egypt has again called for a halt to the hostilities. | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
Aviation authorities have banned all flights over Iceland's largest | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
volcano, after a number of recent eruptions. | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
Experts say the Bardarbunga volcano could emit significant amounts | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
A British national living in Sierra Leone has tested positive | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
It's the first case of a Briton contracting the disease, | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
The Department of Health says the overall risk to those in the UK | :08:14. | :08:22. | |
remains low. The outbreak in west Africa has | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
claimed more than 1,400 lives. Our correspondent Will Ross is | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
in Lagos in Nigeria, What can you tell us about the | :08:28. | :08:40. | |
latest development? Well the authorities in Sierra Leone are not | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
saying anything about this British national. Nothing from the British | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
government either about whether it is even male or female, possibly a | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
business person who has been their long-term. Another possibility is it | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
one of the British health workers that have gone there to try to turn | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
around this outbreak? Which is really causing a lot of havoc in | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
Sierra Leone and Liberia. The question is whether the patient will | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
be treated in Sierra Leone or whether they will be brought to | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
Britain where that are already isolation unit set up to cope with | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
incoming patients. The government says it is ready for them, should | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
the need arise. We do not know whether this patient will be brought | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
to Britain or be left to recover in Sierra Leone. Thank you for joining | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
us. A boat carrying up to 200 African | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
migrants bound for Europe has sunk It's feared that most of those | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
on board have drowned. The small wooden boat sank | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
last night, east of Tripoli. Hospitals in England have been told | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
to cut the cost of parking for some patients and their relatives, | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
as well as staff who work shifts. The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
says he wants to protect patients and their families from the "added | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
stress of unfair parking charges". High parking fees can make an | :10:05. | :10:16. | |
already stressful hospital visit even more painful. Campaigners say | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
that 79% of hospitals in England charge for parking with costs as | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
much as ?72 per day. Three weeks ago baby Johnny was having a difficult | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
time entering the world, his father had to pay for five days parking at | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
the local hospital costing him ?60. At a time when you experience | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
something quite traumatic, when you are vulnerable, I think it is | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
excessive. It is an NHS hospital, it is something which is paid for by | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
the taxpayer, I feel like, at a time of need we should not really be | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
subjected to that kind of charge. Now the government has issued | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
guidelines to all NHS organisations in England that free or reduced | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
parking should be available to those with disabilities, with gravely ill | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
relatives and staff where public transport is not available. It is an | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
easy source of revenue, it is a stealth tax from hospital bosses, | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
this announcement is important. But critics argue it is pressure on NHS | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
resources which mean hospitals have had to rely on parking income. | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
Charges have been abolished in all but a handful of hospitals in Wales | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
and Scotland, and also some patients in Northern Ireland are exempt. In | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
England and the rules are for guidance only, if a trust, for | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
example this one in London, feels that charging ?3 an hour to park is | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
appropriate, there's still nothing to stop them. Many trusts already | :11:55. | :12:04. | |
provide discounted parking. Scrapping costs altogether has been | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
calculated could cost the NHS ?250 million, money that could be | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
difficult to find. Time to catch up with the sport now. | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
News from the Premier League to come but we start with | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
And it was a case of seventh time lucky for Leeds | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
Rhinos today after six consecutive final defeats, they beat Castleford | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
Rugby league's grandest occasion, the game 's most famous trophy. The | :12:31. | :12:45. | |
question for Leeds, could they put to an end the run of six straight | :12:46. | :12:54. | |
cup final defeats? There was first action from them, crossing into the | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
corner for the perfect start. Castleford, a club starved of the | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
success of their big city neighbours hit back almost instantly. Daryl | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
Clark was quickest to react to narrow the margin. Leeds though, | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
proved difficult to catch, Danny McGuire touching down. Was this | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
finally to be their year? The message in the dressing room at | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
half-time from Castleford was clear, Daryl Powell's words had an effect, | :13:20. | :13:28. | |
Holmes, scoring under the posts. Their hopes were lifted but | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
ultimately broken. For Leeds, and their much heralded golden | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
generation, today, at last, they were unstoppable. Man of the match | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
Ryan Hall scoring his second, challenge cup final winners at the | :13:43. | :13:44. | |

Despite some big hitting from the ex-england captain, Stephen Parry | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
was left needing 6 off the final ball for Lancashire Lightning. | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
He couldn't manage it and Birmingham Bears won by 4 runs to | :14:57. | :14:57. | |

Thank you for joining us. The main news tonight. The United Nations has | :15:49. | :15:57. | |
warned 20,000 civilians in a town in northern Iraq faced the threat of | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
massacre by the Islamic state extremists. | :16:02. | :16:03. | |

wind, in many towns and | :16:38. | :16:38. |
