:00:47. > :01:10.Gordon Brown, says Westminster politicians will honour
:01:11. > :01:12.the timetable they've promised Speaking in Fife, he said civil
:01:13. > :01:19.servants are already working on the devolution proposals, and a Scotland
:01:20. > :01:23.Bill will be ready in January. David Cameron has suggested
:01:24. > :01:26.constitutional change in Scotland and England should go side by side,
:01:27. > :01:47.and Scottish nationalists fear the It does not look like a divided
:01:48. > :01:52.nation. No rallies, no speeches, no fights on the streets of Glasgow
:01:53. > :01:58.today. Scotland is getting back to normal. But that does not mean
:01:59. > :02:03.politics has gone away. Gordon Brown made a promise before the
:02:04. > :02:09.referendum, a No vote would still mean change, more powers for the
:02:10. > :02:14.Scottish Parliament over tax and benefits. Today he insisted he would
:02:15. > :02:17.keep his word. I want to give people in Scotland and assurance that when
:02:18. > :02:21.they were told two weeks ago there would be delivery after decision
:02:22. > :02:27.day, that delivery has started. There is a time to fight but there
:02:28. > :02:33.is a time to unite. This is the time for Scotland to unite and see if it
:02:34. > :02:39.can find common purpose. Mr Brown insists that will happen and soon.
:02:40. > :02:42.But the proposed timetable for more devolution is tight. By Saint
:02:43. > :02:47.Andrews Day, the 30th of November, the plans would be set out at
:02:48. > :02:51.Westminster. The plans would be published by Burns night, the 25th
:02:52. > :02:57.of January. It would only become law by the general election on the 7th
:02:58. > :03:01.of May. But will it happen? Already, the parties are arguing about what
:03:02. > :03:05.should be on the table during these talks. Labour are saying they should
:03:06. > :03:08.focus solely on Scotland but the Prime Minister is arguing that
:03:09. > :03:14.greater powers for England should be considered on the same timescale.
:03:15. > :03:18.Labour's old foes in the SNP are sceptical about the process, saying
:03:19. > :03:23.it is already behind schedule. Will they support the new powers? The
:03:24. > :03:28.party will meet and take a view on all of these things. Remember, the
:03:29. > :03:31.devolution proposals will come from the unionist parties. We are in
:03:32. > :03:38.favour of Scottish independence if the proposals are strong, of course
:03:39. > :03:43.we will not stand in the way. In the meantime, the SNP must find a new
:03:44. > :03:46.leader. They will have a tough task bringing party and country
:03:47. > :03:48.together. Scotland is still on a journey and it is not clear where it
:03:49. > :03:52.is heading. The Labour leader Ed Miliband has
:03:53. > :03:55.said there can be no "quick fix" programme of devolution in England,
:03:56. > :03:57.Wales and Northern Ireland. He's proposing a "constitutional
:03:58. > :03:59.convention" to discuss change, Carole Walker reports
:04:00. > :04:02.from Manchester, where Labour supporters are gathering
:04:03. > :04:15.for their annual party conference. Ed Miliband is under pressure to say
:04:16. > :04:23.what he will do to ensure England gets a full deal. Will you back home
:04:24. > :04:28.rule? He says that should be part of a wider rethink of decision-making
:04:29. > :04:34.across the UK to be sorted out next year, not linked to the extra powers
:04:35. > :04:39.pledged to Scotland. We know that yearning for change is their right
:04:40. > :04:43.across our country. Constitutional change matters, but we know
:04:44. > :04:48.something else matters even more. This country does not work for most
:04:49. > :04:55.working people, and we, the Labour Party, are going to change it.
:04:56. > :04:58.Labour-saving are committed to more devolution but even some of the
:04:59. > :05:04.party's own MPs with seats in England's say that unless the
:05:05. > :05:09.concerns of their voters are addressed now, they will be kicked
:05:10. > :05:13.into the long grass. The Tories say any plans for Scotland must be
:05:14. > :05:17.matched by a new deal for England. What Labour are offering is a
:05:18. > :05:21.constitutional deal after the next election. We give Scotland full
:05:22. > :05:25.devolution and we expect English people to swallow that without
:05:26. > :05:29.getting anything back in return. That is not acceptable to the people
:05:30. > :05:32.I represent or to the people of England as a whole. At this
:05:33. > :05:39.Manchester restaurant they believe the recipe for success is to devolve
:05:40. > :05:43.more power to local bodies. The purse strings can strolled --
:05:44. > :05:48.controlled by central government. I believe that has the disadvantage
:05:49. > :05:57.because of local groups want to tap into that resources, they have to go
:05:58. > :06:01.all the way to London and it often takes a long time for anything to
:06:02. > :06:06.get done. Cities like Manchester would like more power and money.
:06:07. > :06:09.That is a very different issue to questions over who should vote on
:06:10. > :06:14.English matters at Westminster, or the demands of Wales and Northern
:06:15. > :06:17.Ireland, resolving the many complex arguments over the way the country
:06:18. > :06:23.is run, is unlikely to be settled until after the election.
:06:24. > :06:25.Well, Carole Walker joins us live now from Manchester. What are the
:06:26. > :06:32.difficulties for the Labour leadership, this whole issue of
:06:33. > :06:38.constitutional change? Certainly, it is difficult for Ed Miliband.
:06:39. > :06:42.Certainly another senior Labour MP came out this afternoon and said it
:06:43. > :06:46.was vital to see is what he called the historic opportunity after that
:06:47. > :06:49.Scottish referendum to address the concerns of the English. He was
:06:50. > :06:53.talking in particular about that question about whether Scottish MPs
:06:54. > :06:58.should continue to be able to vote on matters which affect only the
:06:59. > :07:02.English, when English MPs do not vote on matters which are devolved
:07:03. > :07:06.to Scotland. This is a sensitive issue for Labour in particular,
:07:07. > :07:11.because if you do restrict voting rights of Scottish MPs, that could
:07:12. > :07:15.make things difficult for a future Labour government. They might
:07:16. > :07:18.struggle to get some key bits of legislation through. What Ed
:07:19. > :07:21.Miliband is insisting is for now, what is important is to deliver on
:07:22. > :07:26.the promises that were made to Scotland, but David Cameron is
:07:27. > :07:29.saying that should only be in Tandon with addressing the English
:07:30. > :07:32.question. There is deadlocked and it is hard to see how that will be
:07:33. > :07:36.resolved before the election. Thank you.
:07:37. > :07:39.A group of Muslim clerics has made a new appeal to the extremist
:07:40. > :07:42.group, Islamic State, to release the British hostage, Alan Henning.
:07:43. > :07:44.He was kidnapped in Syria last December, while he was
:07:45. > :07:48.In an online video, the clerics say that harming him
:07:49. > :08:02.Salford taxi driver Alan Henning was delivering aid in Syria last year
:08:03. > :08:06.when he was captured in December. He was working with a Muslim charity
:08:07. > :08:11.and most of his colleagues were Muslim. Now three Imams have made a
:08:12. > :08:15.direct appeal to the Islamic State on social media. They are calling
:08:16. > :08:18.for his kidnappers to release him, saying he was working with a Muslim
:08:19. > :08:21.charity and most of his colleagues were Muslim. Now three Imams have
:08:22. > :08:23.made a direct appeal to the Islamic State on social media. They are
:08:24. > :08:27.calling for his kidnappers to release him, saying he's wrong, is
:08:28. > :08:35.impermissible, permit a bull according to sharia for a number of
:08:36. > :08:40.reasons -- permissible. In Turkey plane carrying dozens of
:08:41. > :08:44.hostages freed Islamic State arrived back in anger. This woman broke past
:08:45. > :08:50.security officials to greet her relative. The group included women
:08:51. > :08:55.and children who were captured by militants in Mosul. How they were
:08:56. > :09:01.freed remains a mystery. It is understood no ransom was paid and no
:09:02. > :09:03.force was used. Elsewhere in Turkey, tens of thousands of Kurds have been
:09:04. > :09:10.pouring across the border from northern Syria. They fled their
:09:11. > :09:13.homes ahead of a new onslaught by Islamic State fighters. Witnesses
:09:14. > :09:18.said the militants were killing anyone left behind.

:10:15. > :10:21.the story of that glorious yet tragic operation... Operation Market
:10:22. > :10:26.Garden was intended as a masterstroke, huge airborne assault
:10:27. > :10:32.to seize a number of bridges, a rapid movement on the ground but the
:10:33. > :10:39.British, north of Arnhem, quickly ran into trouble. They could lay off
:10:40. > :10:44.and pick you off, kind of thing. If we wanted to get a gun out of
:10:45. > :10:50.action, we had to send a patrol out and do it man to man, kind of thing.
:10:51. > :10:55.These men know they were the lucky ones. Thousands were killed or
:10:56. > :11:01.injured in the bridge. I found myself gazing down the barrel of a
:11:02. > :11:09.tank. I did not like it very much! Anyway, this dam thing fired off,
:11:10. > :11:14.practically blew the whole house up. In 1944 the red berets were welcomed
:11:15. > :11:19.as liberators. To the Dutch, they are still heroes. But as they recall
:11:20. > :11:27.those September days, remaining veterans questioned the loss of
:11:28. > :11:32.life. It was a big mistake, a Bridge too far was the answer. The link
:11:33. > :11:37.between past and present end-users. The honoured visitors grow fewer,
:11:38. > :11:43.but this community has sworn never to forget them -- the link between

:11:53. > :11:55.matches in the Barclays Premier League today and plenty of goals.
:11:56. > :11:59.The late kick off is still going on but Liverpool had the worst possible

:12:58. > :12:59.There were no goals though at Turfmoor as Burnley
:13:00. > :13:03.and Sunderland are still yet to win in the league this season.

:13:37. > :13:42.Nick Parrott watched the action for us.
:13:43. > :13:49.A spectacular location set the scene for a dramatic show. Lewis
:13:50. > :13:53.Hamilton's battle with his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg has been
:13:54. > :13:57.worthy of a soap opera. But it was Felipe Massa who almost stole the
:13:58. > :14:02.show. He set the fastest time during the first round of the final
:14:03. > :14:06.session. Mercedes struggled at first but they managed to remember their
:14:07. > :14:11.lines on the final runs, as Rosberg set the time to beat. Moments later,
:14:12. > :14:30.Hamilton picked into the acclaim of the crowd by just seven thousands of

:14:33. > :14:34.one for the Britain at a circuit, where more often than not, the
:14:35. > :14:37.driver starting from poll position goes on to win. There is so much
