The Prime Minister vows to hunt down the extremists responsible | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
for the brutal murder of a British aid worker. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
David Haines, a father of two, was beheaded 18 months after he was | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
David has been murdered in the most callous and brutal way imaginable, | :00:17. | :00:30. | |
by an organisation which is the embodiment of evil. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
With another Briton threatened by Islamic State jihadists, | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
we'll be assessing what action the government could now pursue. | :00:37. | :00:38. | |

The aid worker David Haines, held for 18 months in Syria, | :00:52. | :01:13. | |
before being murdered, has been called a British hero by | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
the Prime Minister, after a video released by Islamic State extremists | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
David Cameron has described the murder as an act of pure evil. | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
Our World Affairs Correspondent Caroline Hawley's report does not | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
include any moving pictures from the video, | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
but it does contain a still image, which you may find distressing. | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
His family had only just appealed to his kidnappers to make contact when | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
they gave the chilling response. The video, similar to those posted after | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
the murders of two American journalists, though tailored this | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
time to a Brit audience, and it includes a threat to kill another | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
British hostage. The captors seems to be the same man with the same | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
British accent seen in previous videos. This British man has Depay | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
the price of your promise, Cameron, to arm them against the Islamic | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
state. David Cameron convened the government's emergency committee, | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
his resolve currently only strengthened by what he called an | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
unspeakable act. David Haines was a British hero. The fact that an aid | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
worker was taken, held and brutally murdered at the hands of ISIL sums | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
up what this organisation stands for. They are killing and | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
slaughtering thousands of people, Muslims, Christians, minorities | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
across Iraq and Syria. They boast of the brutality. They claim to do this | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
in the name of Islam. That is nonsense. Islam is a religion of | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
peace. They are not Muslims, they are monsters. This was David Haines | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
in Croatia, filmed in 2003, he spoke of helping people return to homes | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
they had abandoned in the War of the 1990s. There are many people who do | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
want to return but they just know how awful to turn to. In doing this, | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
our office normally goes across to Belgrade and actually meets the | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
people so they can gain trust from us. From here in the Balkans, via | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
Africa, David Haines went to the Middle East. When he was captured in | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
March last year, he had been working with a French aid agency, helping | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
supply food, water and tense to refugees in northern Syria. He had | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
been in the country for just a few days. He was very, very happy to go. | :03:40. | :03:51. | |
David found working in difficult conditions, working for people in | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
times of hardship brought him a job satisfaction. My first reaction | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
could be one of hatred. But my brother's life wasn't about hatred, | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
it was about love for all men. After the murder first of James Foley, | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
then Stephen Sotloff, David Haines is the third Western hostage to be | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
killed since American air strikes against the so-called Islamic State | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
began last month. The other man shown in the video is Alan Henning, | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
filmed by the BBC last year, helping prepare a convoy of humanitarian | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
supplies for Syrian refugees. He is a 47-year-old taxi driver from | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
Salford, aware of the dangers of going to Syria, but moved to risk | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
his life to alleviate the suffering of civilians. David Haines, | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
husband, humanitarian, 44-year-old father of two, described as a man of | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
unstoppable enthusiasm. His family said he would be missed, terribly. | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
The murder of David Haines will bring renewed | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
focus on British and Western efforts to combat the threat of Islamic | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
In his statement, David Cameron said he would take | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
Our Security Correspondent Frank Gardner looks at the options | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
US air strikes on the so-called Islamic State are having an effect. | :05:12. | :05:25. | |
So too are Britain's armed supplies to curb this forces fighting the | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
jihadists. Islamic State fighters have been driven back from some of | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
the recent gains in Iraq, partly due to those US air strikes. Britain has | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
not so far joined in but the murder of a British hostage Draxler UK deep | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
into this conflict. I have no doubts in my mind that the beheading of | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
David Haines will deepen and widen Britain's involvement in both Iraq | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
and Syria. Britain is most likely now to take a more active role and | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
join the marathon campaign against the so-called Islamic State. So what | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
exactly are the UK Government's options in confronting the so-called | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
Islamic State? David Cameron has said humanitarian aid to displaced | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
refugees in Iraq and Syria will continue. So too will RAF supply | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
fights of arms and -- flight of arms and ammunition continue to the code | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
fighters. There has also been intense discussions over whether or | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
not Britain should now join in. Whatever is decided, the UK is | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
likely to be more engaged than ever in confronting the Islamic State on | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
many levels, with all the encompassing risk for stock US | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
special forces like this tried and failed to rescue Western hostages | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
held by Islamic State in Syria back in July, so this won't be seen as an | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
ongoing solution. On the ground in Iraq, government forces and militias | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
badly need outside help, hence the international coalition now being | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
assembled. Australia is sending a squadron of FA 18 attack planes. | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
Australians were told today this could be a long haul. I have to warn | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
the Australian people that should this preparation and deployment | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
extend into combat operations, that this could go on for quite some | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
time. The fighting on the ground against Islamic State is being done | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
by local forces. Here celebrating even the slightest gain. The West | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
does not want to get its troops bogged down in another ground war | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
but this is a messy conflict, with no clear and insight. -- no clear | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
end in sight. Our Political Correspondent Chris | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
Mason is live Chris, the government is already | :07:50. | :07:50. | |
under pressure over Syria, For some, it will increase the | :07:51. | :07:59. | |
pressure on the Prime Minister and they will make the case that air | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
strikes should come soon, but whilst we saw very strong language from | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
David Cameron today, the strategy from the government, in terms of its | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
response to Islamic State, remains the same. They want a strategy that | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
is seen to be resilient, in the words of one official to be seen to | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
be methodical. We have seen it slowly ratcheting up, the response | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
to Islamic State, firstly with the humanitarian support them with the | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
RAF Tornado reconnaissance flights that we were just hearing about from | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
Frank Gardner as second ago. The Prime Minister wants to argue that | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
he is taking things carefully and slowly, building an international | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
coalition in the region and beyond, building a domestic coalition as | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
well, because he is well aware that there is a war weariness in the UK | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
following the Iraq conflict the decade ago. There was that bruising | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
defeat for David Cameron a year ago over military action in Syria, so he | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
wants to tread carefully. Yes, many MPs this time to appear persuadable. | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
Labour appear persuadable without committing to anything yet and there | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
are some MPs have been to see the Prime Minister, conservatives in the | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
last couple of days, to make the case for air strikes now and the | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
result has stiffened with the news in the last 24 hours. They say this | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
is a British fatality with a British accented jihadist, and the threat | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
level here in the UK has been raised because of the fear of attacks here. | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
They are convinced that the Prime Minister is aware but others are not | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
yet and they still needs to be more strongly. | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
The leaders of both sides in the Scottish independence | :09:30. | :09:37. | |
referendum say Thursday's vote will be a once-in-a-generation decision. | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
With just four days to go, the Yes and the No campaigns have been busy | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
Our Political Correspondent Iain Watson reports from Glasgow. | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
CHANTING Tensions are running high as the | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
referendum campaign begins to draw to a close first Glasgow and a | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
thousand yes made a noisy protest against BBC coverage, regarding it | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
as more British than Scottish, while in Edinburgh the corporation was | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
being scrupulously fair in deciding who they interviewed first to see | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
who was interviewed first. By tossing a coin. He was asked, Alex | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
Salmond, if he could envisage another referendum if there was a | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
close vote, but he wants to win this one, so his message to potential | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
supporters? It's now or never. My view is it is a once in a | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
generation, perhaps even a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
Scotland. Flowers of Scotland at a Glasgow garden centre. The Yes | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
campaign have tried to grow the vote against an older generation more | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
likely to vote no. Trying to convince them that their incomes are | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
safe in retirement, but will it work? I have voted no. We don't | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
really know too much about what's going to happen. If it doesn't work | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
out, there is no turning back. I am voting yes. So you don't need | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
convincing? I don't. Labour campaigners were out in Scotland's | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
streets with the aims of persuading more than half a billion voters who | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
are yet to make up their minds to say no. Yes campaigners have written | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
an open letter to Labour supporters trying to back independence as a way | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
to get the Conservatives out of government in Scotland. As well as | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
trying to win over undecided voters, the No campaign has to shore up the | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
Labour vote. Alistair Darling, leader of the better together | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
campaign, stressed that the referendum should not be confused | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
with a general election. The result is rather more permanent. It's not | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
like an election where you can change your mind of things that work | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
out. If things go wrong this time, we have already voted, we are | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
leaving, there is no way back. It has been very vigorous and positive | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
in many ways... They did not necessarily look better together. | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
While both men said they admired each other's abilities, you can see | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
from the face is how much is at stake. We had some words from the | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
Queen today? That's right. We have seen passions running high in the | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
streets of Scotland but this rather unusual intervention took place in | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
Balmoral. A well-wishers said to the Queen, look, I'm not going to talk | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
to you about the referendum, and she replied in full if shot of the | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
press, I hope people think very carefully about the future. That | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
intervention is not anywhere near as blatant as back in the 1970s, when | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
they were talking about devolution, she reminded us that she was crowned | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
Queen of the United Kingdom, and certainly the Palace say that her | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
comments today do not breach any constitutional duty to it | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
impartiality, but they demonstrate that the chilly everyone who is in | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
Scotland at the moment is taking the result of this referendum very | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
seriously indeed. -- virtually everyone. | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
A court in North Korea has sentenced an American man to six years' hard | :12:52. | :12:54. | |

With all the sport, here's Katherine Downes at the BBC Sport Centre. | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
Can money by success? It seems in the case of Louis van Gaal it. | :13:08. | :13:20. | |
Without a win this season, the new Manchester United manager spent ?150 | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
million on new signings and this afternoon, United finally picked up | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
their first victory, beating QPR 4-0 at Old Trafford. A fresh start for | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
Manchester United. Count the new faces after Louis van der Walt's | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
summer of spending. But one was very familiar. Rio Ferdinand spent 12 | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
years at Old Trafford. His return in a QPR shirt was marked with a gift | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
from Sir Bobby Charlton. But that was it for sentimentality. United | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
had reinvention to get on with. Fittingly, it was led by Angel Di | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
Mar?a. ?16 million he had cost, and this -- ?60 million, he had cost and | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
this was the moment Old Trafford got a new hero. Ander Herrera cost half | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
as much but Hebrew root -- heap food value for money or so. Wayne Rooney | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
then stepped up, QPR stood back and watched as the captain made it three | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
by half-time. At the start of act two, Juan Mata found himself | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
centrestage, but soon all eyes were on another new member of the United | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
cast list. Falcao missed his cue. The crowd groaned with him. The | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
Theatre of Dreams was buzzing again. Just one match, but the belief is | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
back. Sir Bradley Wiggins failed to retain his Tour of Britain title. He | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
had to settle for third place overall. Wiggins had started the day | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
in seventh but moved into a podium place after winning the time trial | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
this morning in London. But in the final stage, Holland's Dylan fan | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
Bala remained in the lead to win the title by ten seconds. In rugby | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
union, wasps have beaten the initial champions Northampton for the first | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
time in five years. Wasps scored two tries in four minutes, including | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
this one from Tom Varndell, to win 20-16, and moved up to 16 the table. | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
London Irish held back a fight 20-16, and moved up to 16 the table. | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
Newcastle to win 20-18. Valentino Rossi has won his first Moto GP | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
racer 15 months, with a victory in the San Marino Grand Prix. The | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
championship leader Mark Marquez crashed early on and despite | :15:28. | :15:29. | |
rejoining the race he could not make up ground. Rossi went on to win at | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
Canterbury with Lorenzo second. That is all the sport, back to you | :15:37. | :15:37. | |
Catherine. There's more throughout the evening | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
