:01:58. > :02:03.Bosco -- credited with giving the Leave campaign the boost it needed.
:02:04. > :02:06.But he wavered. Now, and article never meant to be published has
:02:07. > :02:14.surfaced in which he make the case for Remain. Are you an arrest?
:02:15. > :02:20.Today, the Foreign Secretary explained why he wrote it. Everybody
:02:21. > :02:25.was trying to make up their mind. It is perfectly true that back in
:02:26. > :02:30.February I was wrestling with it, like a lot of people. I wrote a long
:02:31. > :02:35.piece which came down overwhelmingly in favour of leaving. I then thought
:02:36. > :02:40.I had better see if I can make the alternative case to myself. In the
:02:41. > :02:46.article, he suggested Brexit could lead to an economic shock or the
:02:47. > :02:50.break-up of the UK. He said access to the single market came with just
:02:51. > :02:54.a small membership fee, directly contradicting his comments on the
:02:55. > :02:58.campaign trail. I have been listening to businesses up and down
:02:59. > :03:02.our country over the last few months, I have been amazed how many
:03:03. > :03:08.passionately want to come out of the single market. Would there be no
:03:09. > :03:13.reaction? It might be a positive reaction. If we vote Leave, I
:03:14. > :03:18.believe we will galvanise this country, our economy and our
:03:19. > :03:23.democracy. Today, he said considering both sides of the debate
:03:24. > :03:26.only convinced him to back Brexit. I set them side-by-side and it was
:03:27. > :03:33.blindingly obvious what the right thing to do was. The people made the
:03:34. > :03:36.right decision. Now, as Foreign Secretary, he is part of a
:03:37. > :03:40.Government that has to negotiate Brexit. For some, his early in
:03:41. > :03:45.decisive and is reflects bigger questions about what it will really
:03:46. > :03:53.mean. It plays into the divisions that exist currently in the British
:03:54. > :03:56.Government between Leave and Remain, those who want an outward looking
:03:57. > :04:01.approach and those that want to cut off links to the continent. What was
:04:02. > :04:04.going on in his head that weekend is what is still going on in the
:04:05. > :04:08.British Government now. Visions are no longer about which campaign to
:04:09. > :04:13.back. What the country's future will look like.
:04:14. > :04:19.We have had the vote, the UK is leading the EU, why does what Boris
:04:20. > :04:24.Johnson wrote months ago matter? We knew that he was torn over the
:04:25. > :04:30.referendum. It is more insight into his thinking. Even when making the
:04:31. > :04:35.case for Remain, he did so with a Eurosceptic tone. The Government is
:04:36. > :04:38.trying to crystallise its position. Work out how important things like
:04:39. > :04:43.access to the single market are against controlling immigration. The
:04:44. > :04:45.choices that Boris Johnson was wrestling with reflect the choices
:04:46. > :04:52.that the Government is wrestling with. Theresa May has said that
:04:53. > :04:56.Brexit means Brexit, that she is coming under pressure to spell out
:04:57. > :05:00.what it means. MPs again saying they should have the chance to vote on
:05:01. > :05:04.this in Parliament before the formal negotiations start. The Government
:05:05. > :05:07.has said there will be the chance for scrutiny and debate, but they
:05:08. > :05:11.cannot show their hand or give a running commentary. They have a
:05:12. > :05:15.mandate and they will get the best deal possible. In the same way that
:05:16. > :05:17.Boris Johnson's position is now clear, there is a clamour for that
:05:18. > :05:23.kind of clarity from the Government. The Ministry of Defence says it's
:05:24. > :05:26.looking into claims by a former SAS soldier that he shot dead
:05:27. > :05:32.severely-injured enemy soldiers Colin McLaughlan writes
:05:33. > :05:43.in a new book that he acted to end More than a decade on from the
:05:44. > :05:52.British military intervention in Iraq, more anguished questions about
:05:53. > :05:56.what was done in written's name. Colin McLaughlan was then a Sergeant
:05:57. > :05:59.in the SAS. But since has emerged from the shadows to take part in a
:06:00. > :06:06.TV series about special forces training. It seems his contribution
:06:07. > :06:09.to a chapter in a new book about the SAS could now lead to fresh
:06:10. > :06:17.controversy about how soldiers behave in combat. Back in 2003, in
:06:18. > :06:22.the early days of the war, before massage and is quoted as saying he
:06:23. > :06:25.took part in the killing of three Iraqi soldiers, who were dying from
:06:26. > :06:38.gruesome injuries after being ambushed. He is also quoted as
:06:39. > :06:40.saying the Mac -- saying.... After submitting the manuscript to the
:06:41. > :06:46.Ministry of Defence for approval, Colin McLaughlan says he is now
:06:47. > :06:53.under investigation. The MoD has confirmed April and examination is
:06:54. > :06:56.under way. They have no choice, but I hope that in doing the
:06:57. > :07:03.investigation they really do show due concern and take due note of the
:07:04. > :07:09.very difficult circumstances he was acting in. Human rights experts say
:07:10. > :07:14.the law must apply to everyone. It is the basic principle of the laws
:07:15. > :07:18.of war, the Geneva Convention is, you cannot shoot prisoners or the
:07:19. > :07:21.wounded. These are the laws that apply to British forces and protect
:07:22. > :07:28.British forces when they are captured. The MoD says that if there
:07:29. > :07:32.are credible allegations of criminal activity, it always investigates.
:07:33. > :07:34.This case is just one of more than 1500 alleged incidences of abuses
:07:35. > :07:42.and unlawful killings. Police have reopened the case of two
:07:43. > :07:45.11-year-old boys who were murdered in Merseyside 36 years ago,
:07:46. > :07:47.after receiving new information. John Greenwood and Gary Miller died
:07:48. > :07:51.after being found beaten and hidden under a mattress on a rubbish tip
:07:52. > :08:08.in Whiston in 1980. Friends of those boys who vividly
:08:09. > :08:13.remember what happened here 36 years ago say they are delighted that this
:08:14. > :08:17.case has now been reopened. It is because Merseyside Police say they
:08:18. > :08:21.have fresh information. The focus of the investigation now is this site
:08:22. > :08:25.here, the old church hall. They want to speak to anybody who saw three
:08:26. > :08:32.boys here and a man on August 16 1980. This development is a major
:08:33. > :08:36.step forward for relatives of those boys, who have campaigned for this
:08:37. > :08:40.case to be reopened. The mothers of those children gave us their
:08:41. > :08:43.reaction. What would he have been like now?
:08:44. > :08:51.They would have been meant in their late 40s, grandchildren. It is
:08:52. > :08:58.terrible. Nothing at all. It makes you better. I am a bitter person
:08:59. > :09:04.over it. I have not got many years left, I would love to see justice
:09:05. > :09:08.done. I will not. In 1981 a man was tried for their
:09:09. > :09:12.murder and found not guilty. What the relatives have said is both have
:09:13. > :09:15.lived in fear and frustration, thinking they may have passed the
:09:16. > :09:21.killer on the streets or sat next to him on a bus. They are hoping that
:09:22. > :09:24.the case is now being reopened 36 years on and the police will now
:09:25. > :09:31.have modern techniques to help them find justice.
:09:32. > :09:33.MPs have accused Labour of failing to deal properly with allegations
:09:34. > :09:36.of anti-Semitism in the party, and have criticised Jeremy Corbyn
:09:37. > :09:38.for not providing adequate leadership on the issue.
:09:39. > :09:40.The Labour leader rejected the findings by the Commons
:09:41. > :09:45.He said its focus on Labour was unjustified, and there was no
:09:46. > :09:48.evidence it had more of a problem with anti-Semitism than other
:09:49. > :09:57.Campaigners are calling on the Government urgently to speed
:09:58. > :09:58.up its programme to resettle hundreds of unaccompanied

:10:04. > :10:07.There have been renewed clashes between French police and some
:10:08. > :10:10.migrants ahead of the demolition of the camp within days.
:10:11. > :10:12.Our Special Correspondent Ed Thomas has spent the last week
:10:13. > :10:17.at the Jungle, and sent us this report.
:10:18. > :10:36.Life in Calais. The rush to escape the panic and the tear gas. How old
:10:37. > :10:41.are you? 16's 16 years old, and like many, a teenager alone, looking for
:10:42. > :10:49.a way out. Tear gas is being fired all around. Some of the children
:10:50. > :10:54.trying to get in those trucks were as young as 14 or 15. These are the
:10:55. > :11:00.images that make many in Britain nervous. Mohammed says he has no
:11:01. > :11:13.family in the UK, but refuses to stay in France. You should be in a
:11:14. > :11:18.school. School in the UK. But hundreds of teenagers here say they
:11:19. > :11:28.do have relatives in the UK and are now stranded in Calais. Like these
:11:29. > :11:35.brothers. They 14 and 16 and say they left Afghanistan six months
:11:36. > :11:40.ago. He says he is sad and wants to be with his father and cousin in
:11:41. > :11:45.England. His brother tells us he is desperate. We have given our names
:11:46. > :11:51.in, we don't know what to do, he says. We are children. If their
:11:52. > :11:57.family links are proven, the British Government has promised to reunite
:11:58. > :12:03.teenagers in days. Time is running out. Soon, this camp will be
:12:04. > :12:06.demolished. But first, Britain and France must agree who will care for
:12:07. > :12:20.the children of Calais. We know Home Office officials have
:12:21. > :12:25.been there, what is the process for unaccompanied children being an hour
:12:26. > :12:31.to come here to the UK? Last week Amber Road said that she would like
:12:32. > :12:35.to see all eligible children who have the chance to come to the UK
:12:36. > :12:39.who have family in the UK to be able to make that a possibility. The Home
:12:40. > :12:46.Office officials have been here since yesterday, trying to start the
:12:47. > :12:50.process. We think between 1000 and 1200 children are allowed here,
:12:51. > :12:57.maybe half of them have family in the UK, but it is a crude process.
:12:58. > :13:01.Tomorrow we expect many children, between eight and 17, will be asked
:13:02. > :13:06.to register. Along with the genuine cases, I am told there are a number
:13:07. > :13:10.of adults who are chanting their arm, trying to go to the UK. That
:13:11. > :13:15.could take several days. We are told this camp, according to the police,
:13:16. > :13:20.could be closed, they are giving the orders, in seven days, on the 24th
:13:21. > :13:26.of October. There seems to be little time left.

:13:44. > :13:57.The world is watching a thrilling tennis competition and it is not
:13:58. > :14:01.simply Andy Murray against Roberto Bautista Agut. That was the final in
:14:02. > :14:06.Shanghai, which had some wonderful moments. Enough in this rally to
:14:07. > :14:15.make the crowd gasped. And again. And again. And again! Brilliant,
:14:16. > :14:23.what a wonderful point. Tie-break in the first set, Andy Murray lost 1.4.
:14:24. > :14:27.His opponent beat Novak Djokovic in the semifinal. As Andy Murray swept
:14:28. > :14:34.through the second set, he was closing the gap on the world number
:14:35. > :14:38.one. That is the race to watch. Murray has not conceded a set for a
:14:39. > :14:44.month, he looks back to changing his coach in the summer. He gets out of
:14:45. > :14:53.another. Quite a different team this year, with Ivan Lendl and Jamie.
:14:54. > :14:58.Since the French Open it has been the best three of my career. That is
:14:59. > :15:04.some statement. 6-1 in the second set, his sixth title of the year.
:15:05. > :15:06.Prizes mean ranking points, and by the end of it he might just be world
:15:07. > :15:09.number one out on his own. Mark Cavendish has missed out
