a Commons vote would be a publicity coup for the militants.

:00:32.:00:35.

The Prime Minister will this week set out his strategy for Syria,

:00:36.:00:38.

He has said he wants to extend airstrikes across the border

:00:39.:00:43.

from Iraq, but no proposal has yet been put to the House of Commons.

:00:44.:00:46.

Here's our political correspondent, Susana Mendonca.

:00:47.:00:54.

RAF tornadoes bound for Iraq. The British Government wants to be able

:00:55.:01:00.

to send them to Syria, but it can't do that unless the Prime Minister

:01:01.:01:04.

can convince enough MPs to back air strikes there. Later this week David

:01:05.:01:08.

Cameron will set out not just the military plan

:01:09.:01:09.

Cameron will set out not just the hopes will sway the doubters. And

:01:10.:01:15.

the Chancellor told Andrew Marr this morning the Government was

:01:16.:01:19.

determined to take action against the so-called Islamic State. We are

:01:20.:01:23.

not going to go to the House of Commons and lose again. That would

:01:24.:01:28.

be a publicity coup for Isil. That would send a terrible message about

:01:29.:01:32.

Britain's role in the world, so we are only going to call a vote when

:01:33.:01:37.

we are confident we will win that vote. Two years ago the Government

:01:38.:01:44.

put it to the vote and lost. This time they

:01:45.:01:45.

put it to the vote and lost. This mandate for military action, but the

:01:46.:01:51.

Labour leader is reluctant to engage in air strikes, and his party is

:01:52.:01:55.

divided on the issue. His Shadow Chancellor indicated that Labour MPs

:01:56.:01:59.

might get a free vote on the issue though. What will happen is we will

:02:00.:02:03.

consider this in Shadow Cabinet and then we'll go to the parliamentary

:02:04.:02:07.

Labour Party. Most of those MPs will be consulting their local

:02:08.:02:11.

constituency parties, and then we'll come to a considered view. My view

:02:12.:02:16.

has always been I think Parliament should act as Parliament not on a

:02:17.:02:20.

party political basis and we should arrive at a view that's in the best

:02:21.:02:24.

interests of the country. Since the attacks by IS on Paris tensions have

:02:25.:02:28.

been raised about the ability of the police in England to respond to

:02:29.:02:32.

similar incidents in the face of cuts to their conducts expected in

:02:33.:02:37.

this week's Spending Review. The Chancellor said there is no

:02:38.:02:40.

suggestion that policing cuts would be off the cards Every public

:02:41.:02:44.

service has to make sure it is spending money well, but we will

:02:45.:02:47.

make sure that Britain is properly defended against the terrorist

:02:48.:02:52.

threat. Look, I would make a broader point about this Spending Review.

:02:53.:02:55.

You cannot have national security without economic security. When the

:02:56.:03:00.

Prime Minister heads to Paris tomorrow, he'll speak again of the

:03:01.:03:03.

need to stand shoulder to shoulder with our allies. What he hopes is

:03:04.:03:08.

that he'll get the support he needs to make that a reality.

:03:09.:03:12.

Belgium's police forces are looking for several terror suspects,

:03:13.:03:15.

as the capital, Brussels, enters a second day of a security lockdown.

:03:16.:03:19.

Interior Minister Jan Jambon said the current threat was greater than

:03:20.:03:23.

that posed by the man they are looking for, Salah Abdeslam, in

:03:24.:03:26.

Christian Fraser is in Brussels for us.

:03:27.:03:34.

Gavin, thank you. We are in the cultural centre of Brussels, which

:03:35.:03:41.

typically would be busy on a Sunday, but many of the galleries and art

:03:42.:03:45.

museums are closed today. The Central Station behind me has a

:03:46.:03:50.

visible security presence, and the gothic tower at the back here,

:03:51.:03:56.

there's an armoured personnel carrier parked in the main square, a

:03:57.:04:00.

focal point in Brussels. So no change in the security situation and

:04:01.:04:05.

no change in the hunt for Salah Abdeslam, the missing gunman. But we

:04:06.:04:09.

have had a rather interesting interview today from the Belgian

:04:10.:04:14.

channel RTL, which spoke to his brother, Mohammed, who again has

:04:15.:04:17.

urged him to give himself up. He said he would rather see limb in a

:04:18.:04:21.

prison than in a cemetery. He insisted that there was no sign

:04:22.:04:27.

whatsoever to the brothers that within radicalised. They had stopped

:04:28.:04:31.

praying and had started drinking but it wasn't a clue that they had

:04:32.:04:35.

become fanatics. I'm told the Government will make a decision on

:04:36.:04:39.

the security level in three hours' time, but there is no indication

:04:40.:04:42.

that the terror threat will be relaxed. Nothing has changed since

:04:43.:04:47.

last night. One interesting development, the International

:04:48.:04:51.

Tennis Federation has expressed its concerns about the security threat.

:04:52.:04:56.

There's a big game expected here in the weekend, Great Britain taking on

:04:57.:05:00.

Belgium yum in the final of the Davis Cup. We are told that Andy

:05:01.:05:05.

Murray and the team will delay departure until Monday. Thank you.

:05:06.:05:10.

The names of four Britons killed in a helicopter crash in

:05:11.:05:13.

They were Nigel and Cynthia Charlton from Hampshire,

:05:14.:05:16.

and Andrew Virco and Katharine Walker, both from Cambridge.

:05:17.:05:18.

In all, seven people died when the aircraft came down on

:05:19.:05:20.

Fox Glacier on the country's South Island, from where our

:05:21.:05:23.

For Katharine Walker it was moment to be the holiday of a lifetime. It

:05:24.:05:34.

ended in tragedy. The Head of Radio therapy at Addenbrooke's Hospital in

:05:35.:05:37.

Cambridge, one of seven people killed, along with her partner,

:05:38.:05:45.

Andrew Virco. Nigel and Cynthia Charlton from Hampshire also died.

:05:46.:05:49.

Today there were fresh efforts to recover the bodies. Relays of

:05:50.:05:54.

helicopters making the most of a brief break in the weather. Three

:05:55.:05:59.

bodies were winched off the mountain. Four are still trapped. We

:06:00.:06:07.

have started body recovery. We did that by winching people from

:06:08.:06:12.

helicopters on to the ice and are recovering a number of bodies. But

:06:13.:06:18.

it is difficult work. This is the helicopter that crashed. Now looking

:06:19.:06:24.

like a crumpled toy, wedged in a massive crevasse, 800 metres up the

:06:25.:06:29.

glacier. Fresh pictures of the debris field have emerged. Today the

:06:30.:06:34.

company that operated the flight and lost a pilot expressed its

:06:35.:06:40.

condolences. The pilots meeting this morning was very sombre and we had a

:06:41.:06:45.

very moving moment with them. I do feel for the families involved, for

:06:46.:06:50.

the community. And in the afternoon, the bad weather came in again. The

:06:51.:06:56.

glacier shrouded in cloud, snow and hail. The recovery effort forced to

:06:57.:07:03.

be called off for the day. Night has fallen in this tiny remote community

:07:04.:07:07.

that has been profoundly shocked by this crash. Recovery efforts will

:07:08.:07:12.

resume in the morning, but with several more days of bad weather

:07:13.:07:16.

forecast the authorities are warning that it could take time before all

:07:17.:07:20.

of the bodies are retrieved. The Church of England says it's

:07:21.:07:25.

bewildered by a decision by leading cinemas not to screen a Christmas

:07:26.:07:28.

advert featuring the Lord's Prayer. Digital Cinema Media,

:07:29.:07:31.

which sells cinema advertising, said it didn't accept political or

:07:32.:07:34.

religious adverts. Here's our religious affairs

:07:35.:07:37.

correspondent, Caroline Wyatt. We filmed as the advert featuring

:07:38.:07:58.

the Lord's Prayer was being prepared.

:07:59.:08:01.

Whoever designed this prayer obviously seemed to have found

:08:02.:08:03.

the language and words that makes one feel as

:08:04.:08:05.

The idea is to give a new voice to an ancient message,

:08:06.:08:13.

to ensure that it is heard well beyond the church walls by every

:08:14.:08:22.

This was the final ad, approved for showing in cinemas.

:08:23.:08:31.

But it was then refused by the group that sells cinema advertising.

:08:32.:08:35.

In a statement, Digital Cinema Media told us it had

:08:36.:08:37.

a policy of not accepting political or religious advertising.

:08:38.:08:39.

We find that really astonishing, disappointing, certainly,

:08:40.:08:50.

We freely invite people to make up their own mind.

:08:51.:09:06.

But the refusal to show it in cinemas may provoke some

:09:07.:09:08.

soul-searching about the place of religion

:09:09.:09:10.

The cinema chain might if it took this advert be even more at risk if

:09:11.:09:23.

it was sued if it decided not to take another advert for another

:09:24.:09:27.

religion or indeed a cult. I can understand why they don't want to do

:09:28.:09:32.

that. The Church of England's advert celebrating the Lord's Prayer is now

:09:33.:09:34.

on their website instead. You can see more on all of today's

:09:35.:09:42.

stories on the BBC News Channel. The next news on BBC One is

at 5.50pm. Hello there. This weekend has

weather we've had in a little while. Temperatures last night got down

:10:06.:10:08.

weather we've had in a little while. as low as minus 6 in some sports

:10:09.:10:11.

we'll see something similar tonight. After the week ahead after that
