:00:00. > :00:07.Tonight at Ten, the Belgian authorities warn of an imminent

:00:08. > :00:12.terror attack on the capital Brussels, possibly at several sites.

:00:13. > :00:15.There are reports of a number of police operations in the city,

:00:16. > :00:19.as the highest level of alert remains in force.

:00:20. > :00:21.TRANSLATION: A state of alert in Brussels will remain at the highest

:00:22. > :00:24.level. Level four will remain as there is a sustained, serious and

:00:25. > :00:34.Police and army units are to be strengthened, while the metro

:00:35. > :00:40.The hunt continues for one of the attackers from Paris, thought

:00:41. > :00:47.French police identify a third suicide bomber

:00:48. > :00:50.The BBC understands he entered Europe via Greece,

:00:51. > :00:57.Here, the Chancellor George Osborne pledges more money for counter

:00:58. > :01:03.terrorism, but doesn't rule out cuts in frontline policing.

:01:04. > :01:05.We have exclusive access to the RAF drone centre,

:01:06. > :01:14.And, a man wrongly convicted of the murder of a British tourist

:01:15. > :01:39.who served 23 years in jail, talks about his miscarriage of justice.

:01:40. > :01:43.Belgium's Prime Minister says there is a "serious and imminent threat"

:01:44. > :01:46.of a terror attack on the capital Brussels, and the highest state

:01:47. > :01:52.Charles Michel said the fear was of a Paris style attack

:01:53. > :01:58.at several locations, and tonight there are reports

:01:59. > :02:01.of a number of police operations in the centre of the city.

:02:02. > :02:03.The security services are to be strengthened, with more army

:02:04. > :02:07.The metro which was closed yesterday will

:02:08. > :02:11.remain shut tomorrow, and schools won't be reopening on Monday.

:02:12. > :02:19.Our correspondent James Reynolds reports from Brussels.

:02:20. > :02:27.It has come to this, the capital city in the heart of western Europe

:02:28. > :02:31.closes itself down. The city which houses the European Commission and

:02:32. > :02:36.Nato, now protects itself against the threats of attack. The Belgian

:02:37. > :02:44.government has taken extraordinary and dramatic measures to keep its

:02:45. > :02:49.citizens say. TRANSLATION: We are doing everything we can to get back

:02:50. > :02:51.to normal as soon as possible and I would like to thank the police

:02:52. > :02:57.force, the army and the security services while working in difficult

:02:58. > :03:04.circumstances. The investigation is continuing and we are monitoring the

:03:05. > :03:08.situation. The police have cordoned off streets. Tonight there is a real

:03:09. > :03:14.sense of tension in this city. The police have blocked off the road

:03:15. > :03:19.behind me. This is the first time we have seen these measures in the

:03:20. > :03:25.centre of town. This is how Brussels has lived its weekend, and the

:03:26. > :03:28.maximum alert. The government has instructed its citizens to stay

:03:29. > :03:39.clear of crowds. The population follows its orders.

:03:40. > :03:44.People in the 1940s had to cope with more than this, he tells me. We can

:03:45. > :03:50.get through it. The man at the top of the wanted list is this man, one

:03:51. > :03:56.of the Paris attackers. The police believe he is now on the run here in

:03:57. > :04:02.Belgian. The police are monitoring his neighbourhood in Brussels. They

:04:03. > :04:13.think his network planned its operations from here. His brother

:04:14. > :04:16.has told Belgian TV he believes Salah should surrender because he is

:04:17. > :04:20.not a killer. TRANSLATION: It is more than my

:04:21. > :04:27.hope, it is my belief. Salah is a very weatherman. I think the last

:04:28. > :04:33.moment Salah decided to move back and decided not to do the things he

:04:34. > :04:38.wanted to do. Customers at this shop have decided not to hide away at

:04:39. > :04:46.home. A regular Sunday morning outing has now become an act of Mike

:04:47. > :04:50.Roe defiance against fear. TRANSLATION: The customers are happy

:04:51. > :04:57.we are open. We are calm and we doing business.

:04:58. > :05:01.Tonight, the police continued their operations in the centre of the

:05:02. > :05:03.capital. The plotters they are looking for may still be at large.

:05:04. > :05:09.This city lives moment by moment. Our Europe Editor Katya Adler is in

:05:10. > :05:21.Brussels.. What is the latest on the police

:05:22. > :05:25.operations tonight? And number of them are still ongoing. One of them

:05:26. > :05:30.in the main city Square a few hundred metres behind me. This is a

:05:31. > :05:33.very nervous and tense city tonight. Police have asked people not to

:05:34. > :05:39.report their movements on social media. They have asked people to

:05:40. > :05:43.stay indoors. The fear is there are number of armed gunmen on the loose.

:05:44. > :05:49.The Belgian Prime Minister has been clear. They have received

:05:50. > :05:54.intelligence for plans of Paris style Tauqir, he has said. We have

:05:55. > :05:59.seen these operations throughout this city, helicopters overhead. One

:06:00. > :06:03.of the operations is said to have centred around an area where one of

:06:04. > :06:10.the gunmen from the Paris attacks was last seen. As I said, a lot of

:06:11. > :06:13.fear, as you can imagine. This is normally a small and quiet city.

:06:14. > :06:20.Yes, it is the headquarters of the EU, but it is full of policymakers,

:06:21. > :06:25.think tanks and NGOs. It is used to analysing the news, not being the

:06:26. > :06:30.centre of it. People have been asked to stay indoors, they are at home or

:06:31. > :06:34.in their hotel rooms in the city centre. Instant messaging going on

:06:35. > :06:39.across the city. Are you safe, are you OK? Many thanks.

:06:40. > :06:41.French Police have released the picture of a man believed to be

:06:42. > :06:44.the third suicide bomber, who died at the Stade de France

:06:45. > :06:49.The BBC understands he arrived on the Greek island of Leros

:06:50. > :06:51.on October 3rd, with another of the Paris attackers.

:06:52. > :07:05.What more do we know about this man? French investigators are

:07:06. > :07:10.appealing for information. They released a picture of this man. They

:07:11. > :07:18.said, tell us what you know about him. He arrived on the island on the

:07:19. > :07:23.3rd of October. When he was there he had his photograph taken, his

:07:24. > :07:31.fingerprints taken and he was with another suicide attack in Paris, Al

:07:32. > :07:37.Mohammed and they went to get ferry tickets in Leros before making their

:07:38. > :07:42.journey through Europe, through Serbia and on to Paris where they

:07:43. > :07:48.detonated their suicide vests. We were told in a BBC investigation,

:07:49. > :07:52.these two men were with four other people, for young Syrian men who

:07:53. > :07:58.left the Greek islands together. This will lead to more pressure,

:07:59. > :08:02.more questions about Europe's open borders. We have two people

:08:03. > :08:06.confirmed they were making this migrant journey, pretending to be

:08:07. > :08:12.refugees, but their real intentions were to kill. Thank you.

:08:13. > :08:15.Well the government is to set out its strategy this week for tackling

:08:16. > :08:17.the so-called Islamic State group, including possible airstrikes

:08:18. > :08:22.The Chancellor George Osborne says Britain cannot stand on the

:08:23. > :08:27.He's announced more money for counter terrorism, but refused

:08:28. > :08:30.to rule out cuts to the number of frontline police officers, in

:08:31. > :08:37.Here's our Political Correspondent Ben Wright.

:08:38. > :08:41.The Paris attacks are reshaping politics here, forcing Parliament to

:08:42. > :08:47.consider again, the fight against IS, hardening the government's

:08:48. > :08:49.resolve to launch new air strikes abroad and pressuring ministers to

:08:50. > :08:58.Senior police officers have warned they would struggle to cope

:08:59. > :09:02.with Paris style attack if funding is cut to further this week.

:09:03. > :09:04.The Chancellor will set out his five-year spending plans

:09:05. > :09:11.Today, George Osborne announced more money for counterterrorism

:09:12. > :09:14.but was asked if there will be cuts to front-line policing.

:09:15. > :09:17.Every public service has to make sure it is spending money...

:09:18. > :09:19.We will make sure Britain is properly defended

:09:20. > :09:28.I would make a broader point about this spending review.

:09:29. > :09:30.You cannot have national security without economic security.

:09:31. > :09:33.But, as soldiers joined police on the streets of Brussels,

:09:34. > :09:35.the terror threat has sharpened the political choices here.

:09:36. > :09:38.Labour said any cuts to front-line policing would undermine security

:09:39. > :09:41.but in his drive to balance the books, the Chancellor's room

:09:42. > :09:55.The problem for the Chancellor is that he wants to find significant

:09:56. > :09:57.savings out of a smaller and smaller group of departments.

:09:58. > :10:00.Because he is protecting health, the biggest, in fact he is spending

:10:01. > :10:02.more on that and he is protecting defence, protecting schools,

:10:03. > :10:07.He ought to protect police as well and there's not much left to cut.

:10:08. > :10:10.So this week, MPs will hear the Chancellor set out his plans for

:10:11. > :10:12.carving up government spending with the questions are national-security

:10:13. > :10:16.MPs will also hear the Prime Minister set out the

:10:17. > :10:21.government's case for UK military action against IS in Syria.

:10:22. > :10:24.At the moment, British bombing of IS is limited to Iraq.

:10:25. > :10:32.Russia, is among the countries already carrying out air strikes

:10:33. > :10:41.The government says the UK should not stand on the sidelines.

:10:42. > :10:44.We are not going to go to the house of commons and lose again.

:10:45. > :10:50.That would be a publicity coup for Isil,

:10:51. > :10:53.that would send a terrible message about Britain's role in the world.

:10:54. > :10:56.We are only going to call a vote when we are confident we are

:10:57. > :11:00.The government is seared by this, the moment MPs voted

:11:01. > :11:02.against air strikes on the President Assad regime two years ago.

:11:03. > :11:06.This time, the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn,

:11:07. > :11:10.Many of his MPs take a different view and today the Shadow

:11:11. > :11:12.Chancellor, John McDonnell, did not rule out a free vote, meaning

:11:13. > :11:14.Commons support the government's position could be there.

:11:15. > :11:17.My view has always been that I think Parliament should act as Parliament,

:11:18. > :11:23.We should arrive at a view which is the best interests of the country.

:11:24. > :11:31.There has been solidarity and sympathy for France.

:11:32. > :11:34.In Paris tomorrow, David Cameron will meet the French president to

:11:35. > :11:37.express UK support and discuss where next in the fight against IS.

:11:38. > :11:41.Well tomorrow, the details of a defence review of

:11:42. > :11:44.the current risks facing the UK will be made public, and they're likely

:11:45. > :11:47.to lead to a speeding up of the purchase of new fighter jets.Here's

:11:48. > :11:50.to lead to a speeding up of the purchase of new fighter jets. Here's

:11:51. > :11:53.our Defence Correspondent Jonathan Beale.

:11:54. > :12:01.At an airbase in the middle east, an RAF drone armed with missiles is

:12:02. > :12:06.about to fly another mission against the group known as Islamic State.

:12:07. > :12:12.Your eyes are on the target location... This is where they are

:12:13. > :12:17.being flown from, back in the UK. We have been asked not to identify them

:12:18. > :12:23.for security reasons. RAF reapers have carried out an air strike on

:12:24. > :12:27.Syria on a British Jihadi and they helped identify and target the man

:12:28. > :12:31.known as Jihadi John. This is the confirmation they are hunting down

:12:32. > :12:37.others with or without Parliamentary approval. There are groups actively

:12:38. > :12:40.planning us harm and where the threat is very eminent and where

:12:41. > :12:44.they can be identified, then we would be failing in our duty if we

:12:45. > :12:49.didn't deal with it and we will. That suggest you are looking at

:12:50. > :12:52.further individuals at the moment. Ministers won't talk about a hit

:12:53. > :12:57.list, but they are keen to highlight extra resources. They will double

:12:58. > :13:02.the size of the RAF's drone fleet from ten to 20. This is the front

:13:03. > :13:06.line against Islamic State, and massive hangar at an RAF base in

:13:07. > :13:12.Lincolnshire inside these cabins are RAF crews flying unmanned Reaper

:13:13. > :13:16.drones thousands of miles away over Iraq and Syria. This is what David

:13:17. > :13:23.Cameron believes is the future for the British military. There will

:13:24. > :13:28.also be money for new jets. Britain will be buying dozens of the F35

:13:29. > :13:33.jump jets for its two new aircraft carriers now being built. All part

:13:34. > :13:36.of a defence review that in stark contrast to the last, will mean

:13:37. > :13:42.increases to the defence budget, rather than more cuts. But at the

:13:43. > :13:46.time of rising threats from IS more aggressive Russia. Defence is in a

:13:47. > :13:51.better position than it thought it would be. Which is to say it is not

:13:52. > :13:54.likely to be caught. But nevertheless would be small

:13:55. > :13:57.increases in spending, it still finds it difficult to meet the

:13:58. > :14:01.commitments the government wants it to meet. It will still take some

:14:02. > :14:08.time before this new equipment is delivered. The Royal navy's aircraft

:14:09. > :14:12.carriers or not be ready for combat for at least another five years.

:14:13. > :14:15.Four Britons killed in a helicopter crash in New Zealand

:14:16. > :14:25.Andrew Virco and Katharine Walker from Cambridge and Nigel and

:14:26. > :14:27.Helen Charlton from Hampshire, died when the aircraft came down

:14:28. > :14:29.on the Fox Glacier on South Island yesterday morning.

:14:30. > :14:34.The Church of England says it's 'bewildered'

:14:35. > :14:37.by a decision by leading cinemas, not to screen a Christmas advert,

:14:38. > :14:42.Digital Cinema Media which sells advertising,

:14:43. > :14:44.says it didn't accept messages that were religious or political.

:14:45. > :14:47.Here's our Religious Affairs Correspondent, Caroline Wyatt.

:14:48. > :14:56.The ad features a son grieving at his father's grave.

:14:57. > :14:58.Street preachers, weightlifters, a farmer and the

:14:59. > :15:09.We filmed as it was being put together, aimed at celebrating the

:15:10. > :15:14.Whoever designed this prayer obviously seemed to have found

:15:15. > :15:19.a language and words that makes one feel as

:15:20. > :15:30.The idea was for the ad to be shown ahead of the new Star Wars film just

:15:31. > :15:32.before Christmas, at a time when families will be

:15:33. > :15:39.The agency that sells adverts for the major chains says it could

:15:40. > :15:42.not show the ad because it was about religion.

:15:43. > :15:44.The final advert was approved by the British Board of Film Classification

:15:45. > :15:48.The Church of England says no concerns were raised

:15:49. > :15:50.when it approached the agency, Digital Cinema Media, in July.

:15:51. > :15:57.But in a statement, Digital Cinema Media told the BBC it

:15:58. > :16:01.had a policy of not accepting political or religious advertising.

:16:02. > :16:04.It added that some adverts could cause offence to those

:16:05. > :16:11.We find that really astonishing, disappointing, certainly,

:16:12. > :16:17.We would invite people to make their own mind up, for them to come

:16:18. > :16:22.The cinema's refusal to show a specifically Christian ad

:16:23. > :16:24.around Christmas may provoke some soul-searching about the place

:16:25. > :16:31.of religion into today's society, although others agree with

:16:32. > :16:35.The cinema chain might, if it took this advert, be even more

:16:36. > :16:39.at risk of being sued if it decided it didn't want to take an advert

:16:40. > :16:49.I can very much understand why they don't want to start on that.

:17:32. > :17:34.summer due to injury, said he was looking forward to a rest.

:17:38. > :17:39.for killing a British tourist, has been speaking

:17:40. > :17:44.Robert Jones was the subject of a BBC investigation,

:17:45. > :17:47.which found that the judge and police detectives involved in his

:17:48. > :17:51.case, didn't believe he was guilty, and said another man had already

:18:03. > :18:08.Robert Jones is finally out of prison,

:18:09. > :18:13.to be with all his family for the first time in more than 23 years.

:18:14. > :18:24.Among those he was reunited with, his mother, his sister, and the

:18:25. > :18:38.A judge ruled he could be released pending a retrial

:18:39. > :18:49.after it was found his original prosecution wasn't fair.

:18:50. > :18:51.You must have been thinking about this moment for a long time.

:18:52. > :18:54.Yes, I have been thinking about it for a million years.

:18:55. > :18:58.The wheel of justice turned slow but it turned.

:18:59. > :19:00.In April 1992, a series of violent crimes were

:19:01. > :19:04.committed in New Orleans, the same attacker described each time.

:19:05. > :19:07.One of the crimes was the killing of the British tourist,

:19:08. > :19:10.Julie Stott, after which police received

:19:11. > :19:17.Even though another man was eventually convicted of the murder

:19:18. > :19:19.and had compelling evidence linking him to all of the crimes,

:19:20. > :19:27.Last month, the original judge in that trial was among those who

:19:28. > :19:31.told us prosecutors withheld key, favourable evidence that led to

:19:32. > :19:37.The fact that he was wrongly convicted and was in jail

:19:38. > :19:42.for something arguably he did not do weighs heavily on me.

:19:43. > :19:44.But Robert Jones remained behind bars - until now.

:19:45. > :19:47.Say, for instance, there is a guy that pulled out a pistol, that

:19:48. > :19:51.You look at him as a cold-blooded murderer.

:19:52. > :19:59.Here you have a District Attorney that takes and withholds favourable

:20:00. > :20:01.evidence from a guy, takes his life, sends him to prison and most guys

:20:02. > :20:13.Who is the murderer, who is not a murderer?

:20:14. > :20:16.Robert talked of others he knew he believed were also innocent

:20:17. > :20:23.I watched a lot of guys die in prison.

:20:24. > :20:26.That is another added thing that gave me the strength.

:20:27. > :20:41.Though he is now reunited with his family, he does still face a fight.

:20:42. > :20:45.In spite of the original detectives and a

:20:46. > :20:48.judge now standing by him, and of all he has been through, the state

:20:49. > :20:58.is still insisting he endure a retrial.

:20:59. > :21:04.You can see more on all of today's stories on the BBC News Channel.

:21:05. > :21:07.But do stay with us on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.
