Murdered in France - three members of a British family are found shot

:00:09.:00:18.

A four-year-old girl is discovered after eight hours, hiding under her

mother's body. An eight-year-old is fighting for her life in hospital.

:00:21.:00:24.

Er. In Annecy, a major investigation is under way. In the

:00:24.:00:32.

last hour police have named the father as Said Al-Hili from Surrey.

:00:40.:00:45.

We'll take the obligation away from you. I want private houses built. I

:00:45.:00:48.

want social houses built. I want to get Britain building. Both those

things will happen. A furious reaction as a Crown Court

judge told a convicted thief it takes a huge amount of courage to

:00:57.:01:00.

burgle someone's house. One man's private prosecution

BBC News at 1.00pm. A murder hunt is underway near Lake Annecy in

:01:49.:01:51.

France after the bodies of three British family members were

:01:51.:01:59.

discovered inside their car. A four-year-old girl was discovered

:01:59.:02:02.

alive in the car eight hours after the crime was reported. An older

:02:02.:02:05.

girl from the family was found shot outside the car. She's seriously

:02:05.:02:10.

injured in hospital. A local cyclist was killed nearby.

:02:10.:02:17.

Jon Sopel is in Annecy for us. Jon, what's the latest?

:02:17.:02:21.

Well, Simon, in the past few moments under a heavy police escort

:02:21.:02:26.

the prosecutor arrived here at the Palais De Justice. There is going

:02:26.:02:30.

to be a news conference to update people on the investigation so far.

:02:30.:02:34.

Now, what's emerge ed in the last hour or so is the name of the

:02:34.:02:41.

father who was killed. He's Said Al-Hili, 50 or so. He was

:02:41.:02:45.

originally from Baghdad but was working in satellite and aviation

:02:45.:02:50.

industries and was believed to be living in the Claygate area. Surrey

:02:50.:02:54.

Police have confirmed they're assisting the French police with

:02:54.:02:57.

their inquirys, but not saying anymore than that at this stage,

:02:57.:03:01.

but everyone here in this very quiet region of France, whether

:03:01.:03:04.

they're a tourist or a local, has been shocked by the brutality of

:03:04.:03:08.

the killings. Nothing like this has happened here.

:03:08.:03:15.

This morning, hearses arrived to remove the bodies of mother, father

:03:15.:03:21.

and grandmother from their BMW estate car and the passing cyclist

:03:21.:03:24.

who was also gunned down, a family holiday in this most peaceful

:03:25.:03:29.

corner of France that's come to a macabre, terrible end. A four-year-

:03:29.:03:34.

old who hid under her dead mother's body was finally found eight hours

:03:34.:03:39.

after the shooting. TRANSLATION: We discovered a little

:03:39.:03:43.

four-year-old girl that no-one noticed earlier because she wasn't

:03:43.:03:47.

moving, probably terrified. She was completely immobile among the

:03:47.:03:51.

bodies. She was later examined, and she's doing OK. The family had been

:03:51.:03:54.

saying on this camp site for the previous three days in the

:03:54.:03:58.

foothills of the Alps. The older daughter is in a serious but stable

:03:58.:04:03.

condition after being shot three times. Other holiday-makers are

:04:03.:04:07.

understandably shocked at what has happened.

:04:07.:04:12.

TRANSLATION: It's hard to understand what happened. Were they

:04:12.:04:16.

on an excursion? It's hard to understand especially in a holiday

:04:16.:04:20.

place like this. What could have happened? The prosecutor is due to

:04:20.:04:23.

give more information about last night's events shortly. What

:04:23.:04:29.

happened is clear. Why is still utterly bewildering.

:04:29.:04:33.

Well, of course, a lot of attention is going to be focused on how it

:04:33.:04:36.

was that the four-year-old girl was allowed to spend a night in that

:04:36.:04:41.

car - can you imagine - with her parents dead and her grandmother

:04:41.:04:44.

dead and that the police, when they came to the scene of the crime,

:04:44.:04:48.

were so concerned that they wouldn't disturb the kind of

:04:48.:04:52.

forensic scene so that the ballistics experts could look at

:04:52.:04:56.

what had happened there that they just didn't see the four-year-old

:04:56.:04:59.

little girl, and she's spent the night in that car with her dead

:04:59.:05:02.

parents, and there will be some questions asked about that

:05:02.:05:06.

undoubtedly, but of course central to all of this was is there any

:05:06.:05:11.

kind of motive at all that could possibly explain the violence that

:05:11.:05:15.

unfolded here last night? And hopefully, we're going to get some

:05:15.:05:18.

answers to those questions shortly in that news conference which we

:05:18.:05:23.

can go to now which is just getting under way and is being conducted by

:05:23.:05:27.

the prosecutor Eric Mailland. information - we'll try to answer

:05:28.:05:32.

your questions, and totally, we will spend one hour with you so

:05:32.:05:39.

that we can give you the maximum information. We'd - I'd like to

:05:39.:05:47.

thank you, Mr Eric Mailland, for your presence. The mayor will go to

:05:47.:05:53.

meet the British ambassador who is coming from Monaco and I thank you

:05:53.:06:02.

for being here, and you are looking after the site of the logistics.

:06:02.:06:12.
:06:12.:06:15.

The head of research unit is responsible for this investigation.

:06:15.:06:22.

And capitalane, sorry. I forgot your name. -- capitalan, sorry. I

:06:22.:06:25.

forgot your name. He's the commandante of this unit which is

:06:25.:06:32.

part of the National Institute for Criminal Research. He came from

:06:32.:06:36.

Paris and throughout the night he was overlooking the technical issue

:06:36.:06:46.
:06:46.:06:48.

of the operation. To summary, you can ask me afterwards - these

:06:48.:06:55.

dramatic events started yesterday after an SOS to the firefighters by

:06:55.:07:02.

a witness at 15.48, to be precise, local time. We received a phone

:07:02.:07:08.

call from a British psych -- cyclist who was practicing his

:07:08.:07:17.

favourite sport. He was cycling at the right rhythm, then he was

:07:17.:07:22.

overtaken by another cyclist. He carried on on his path, and he went

:07:22.:07:32.
:07:32.:07:35.

to this tarmacked road, which leads to a parking in the forest which

:07:35.:07:43.

actually forms the departure point for ramblers and holiday-makers and

:07:43.:07:53.
:07:53.:07:56.

picnic people. He saw a BMW car, and the engine was still on. The

:07:56.:08:06.
:08:06.:08:08.

engine was still on. He saw a little girl advancing towards that

:08:08.:08:15.

car, which was about to faint before his eyes. He put her on the

:08:16.:08:25.
:08:26.:08:27.

ground, and he alerted the firefighters and jondo mbri was

:08:27.:08:34.

alerted as well. The cyclist, after having raised the alarm, discovers

:08:34.:08:40.

the cyclist who he overtook a short while ago. His bicycle cuss thrown

:08:40.:08:43.

away in the corner of the parking, and the cyclist was on the ground.

:08:44.:08:49.

He looked dead. He looked at him, and he thought he was dead. He

:08:49.:08:55.

walked around the car. He broke the window of the driver's seat. And it

:08:55.:09:02.

was a British car, so the driver's seat was on the right. He saw three

:09:02.:09:07.

persons inside the car who looked dead - one in the driving seat and

:09:07.:09:12.

two in the backseat. One woman was older than the other one, who was

:09:12.:09:17.

younger. OK. Well, let's leave that news conference there which is

:09:17.:09:22.

still unfolding, giving the grisly details of what happened in this

:09:22.:09:28.

camp site - near this camp site last night where in a car park we

:09:28.:09:35.

just heard they were about to start ramming. Obviously, more details

:09:35.:09:38.

coming from the prosecutor. We'll be back to give you a digest about

:09:38.:09:41.

what we've learnt about the investigation so far, but for now,

:09:41.:09:46.

Simon, back to you in the studio. Jon Sopel in and answer, thank you

:09:46.:09:49.

very much. Planning laws in England are to be

:09:49.:09:51.

relaxed in a Government attempt to encourage more building and revive

:09:51.:09:59.

the economy. We have this report now from Michael Sergeant.

:10:00.:10:03.

The Government wants to get the diggers moving and revive house

:10:03.:10:07.

building. On a visit to a development this morning David

:10:07.:10:10.

Cameron and Nick Clegg said they were pulling out all the stops to

:10:10.:10:13.

deliver tens of thousands of new homes. But we're saying to the

:10:13.:10:17.

house builders who are sitting on plots of land with planning

:10:17.:10:20.

permission but who aren't building, we're saying to them get on and

:10:20.:10:24.

build. Provide the The houses. We'll take the obligations away

:10:24.:10:27.

from you. I want private houses built. I want social houses built.

:10:27.:10:30.

We want to get Britain building. Both of those things can happen.

:10:31.:10:35.

Builders like Mark Turner welcome any move to encourage construction.

:10:36.:10:43.

He's just finishing off this house extension in Wapping, East London.

:10:43.:10:47.

I think the industry needs all the help it can get, and I welcome it,

:10:47.:10:52.

to be honest. I do, however, think it needs to be tied with a serious

:10:52.:10:57.

look at the VAT threshold because that for us is the real killer.

:10:57.:10:59.

package announced today includes the temporary offer of home

:10:59.:11:02.

extensions without the need for planning permission. Guarantees are

:11:03.:11:06.

confirmed for the loans of housing associations, making it cheaper for

:11:06.:11:11.

them to build, and extra money is promised for affordable housing.

:11:11.:11:14.

For every development like this one that's nearing completion, there

:11:14.:11:17.

are thousands of others where progress is stalled, and the

:11:17.:11:21.

Government thinks the burdens of the planning system have been

:11:21.:11:26.

holding back house building. Some expressed fears that requirements

:11:26.:11:29.

for builders to include a percentage of affordable housing in

:11:29.:11:32.

big developments would be dropped altogether. They haven't been, but

:11:32.:11:36.

some of the deals with councils on the mix of social and private

:11:36.:11:42.

housing will be renegotiated. held on to the core idea that if

:11:42.:11:46.

you're building new homes, a proportion of them have to be

:11:46.:11:49.

affordable. That's the only way that we provide homes for everyone

:11:49.:11:53.

right across the economy. But many experts say the big increase in

:11:53.:11:56.

overall house building that's needed will only come when the

:11:56.:12:06.
:12:06.:12:07.

economy recovers. The Prime Minister promised that

:12:07.:12:10.

the easing of those planning restrictions would help get rid of

:12:10.:12:12.

unnecessary bureaucracy and "get the system off people's backs." But

:12:12.:12:14.

Labour's insisting that the Government is "kidding itself" that

:12:14.:12:18.

the housing package can shake the UK economy out of its malaise. Our

:12:18.:12:19.

political correspondent Ross Hawkins has more.

:12:19.:12:22.

On one thing, at least, the politicians agree - it is all about

:12:22.:12:25.

the economy. Persuade the voters that they've won the argument about

:12:25.:12:31.

how to make Britain better off, and they might just win an election, so

:12:31.:12:37.

this was Labour's response to today's announcements.

:12:37.:12:41.

Conservative extension up to eight metres into a garden which is what

:12:41.:12:44.

the Government is announcing today, does not represent an economic plan.

:12:44.:12:48.

It's his job to make them laugh at David Cameron's ideas, of course,

:12:48.:12:53.

but if Eddie Jordan were in -- Ed Miliband were in charge, what would

:12:53.:12:58.

he do? Not the same things his former boss did when he was in

:12:58.:13:01.

Government. Gordon Brown gave people money back through tax

:13:01.:13:05.

credits. Today a man who was once an advisor to Gordon Brown said if

:13:06.:13:09.

Labour returned things would have to be different. Whoever wins the

:13:09.:13:13.

next election would still have a deficit that needs to be reduced.

:13:13.:13:16.

The redistribution of the last Government relied on revenue, at

:13:16.:13:19.

least in part, which the next Labour Government will not enjoy.

:13:20.:13:24.

Instead, he says he wants an economy with higher wages and

:13:24.:13:27.

better skills, where a Government wouldn't need to top up incomes,

:13:27.:13:31.

and yet even as the politicians were out making their announcements,

:13:31.:13:38.

the forecasting group the OECD said it expected the British economy to

:13:38.:13:43.

get 0.7% smaller this year. It was gloomier about Britain's prospects

:13:43.:13:46.

just as it was about most of the other global economies. The

:13:46.:13:49.

question then for Government and opposition alike is, in the face of

:13:50.:13:53.

all of that are their plans big enough or good enough? The

:13:53.:13:56.

Government is cutting business taxes and says its schemes will

:13:56.:14:01.

make it easier for businesses to borrow, but not everything happens

:14:01.:14:04.

quickly like agreeing where to build new runways, for instance.

:14:04.:14:08.

Changing the economy can take time and prove expensive. You can do

:14:08.:14:11.

short-term things which cost money in terms of short-term tax breaks.

:14:11.:14:16.

You have to pay that back later on. Costless ways of proving growth are

:14:16.:14:20.

pretty hard to come by. Voters want results fast, though, and

:14:20.:14:24.

politicians know when they go to the polls, they'll be thinking hard

:14:24.:14:29.

about whose economic plans will deliver for their own finances.

:14:29.:14:32.

As we've just heard, the eurozone crisis is continuing to dampen the

:14:32.:14:35.

prospects for recovery in the UK economy. The President of the

:14:35.:14:38.

European Central Bank Mario Draghi is expected to give more detail on

:14:38.:14:41.

his plans to save the euro shortly. Our chief economics correspondent

:14:41.:14:46.

Hugh Pym is here. The hope is that he delivers on the

:14:46.:14:48.

rhetoric that we've already heard from him.

:14:48.:14:53.

Yes, Simon. Once again, all eyes on the European Central Bank. They are

:14:53.:14:57.

seen as very much the institution which can deal with the eurozone

:14:57.:15:01.

crisis, particularly in terms of Spain and its soaring borrowing

:15:01.:15:06.

costs. Expectations were raised sky high at the end of July when the

:15:06.:15:09.

president, Mario Draghi, made a very forthright statement in a

:15:09.:15:15.

speech in London. This is what he said. Within our mandate, within

:15:15.:15:21.

our mandate, the ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the

:15:21.:15:27.

euro. And, believe me, it will be enough. He followed that up in

:15:28.:15:32.

early August by sketching out an action plan whereby the ECB would

:15:32.:15:37.

come in and buy up bonds for countries like Spain and Italy

:15:37.:15:40.

which were struggling as long as they applied to the bail-out fund

:15:40.:15:45.

for a bail-out. So there's a lot of detail still needed on that, and I

:15:45.:15:49.

think the markets are very hopeful that that detail will be

:15:49.:15:51.

forthcoming in his media conference which begins in about 20 minutes.

:15:51.:15:56.

Of course, today a big day on interest rates. Yes, the ECB has

:15:56.:16:01.

left its rate unchanged at 0.5% and the Bank of England has left its

:16:01.:16:05.

rate unchanged again at 0.5%, and there is no more quantitative

:16:05.:16:08.

easing. That's the plan to pump more money into the economy, so

:16:08.:16:11.

very much on hold there, but I think there is an expectation that

:16:11.:16:16.

the Bank of England may have more to say come to move when --

:16:16.:16:25.

November when the bank gets its David Cameron has taken issue with

:16:25.:16:30.

a judge who said it required courage to carry out a burglary.

:16:30.:16:34.

The judge, Peter Bowers gave a suspended prison sentence to a man

:16:34.:16:39.

who burgled telehomes. There have been complaints about the judge's

:16:39.:16:46.

comments. It has been confirmed he is to be investigated.

:16:46.:16:51.

Yes, he is -- His Honour, Peter Bowers, may be facing this

:16:51.:16:59.

investigation, but today he is in Courtroom No4, but it is the case

:16:59.:17:06.

of the burglar who he described as having "courage." This is the man

:17:06.:17:10.

who burgled three homes in five days. He was allowed to walk out of

:17:10.:17:13.

court. Here is the judge that sentenced

:17:13.:17:18.

him, Peter Bowers. He could have jailed Richard Rochford, but he

:17:18.:17:21.

instead said that the burglar had courage and that prison did little

:17:21.:17:29.

good for anyone. This is the reaction on one of the places that

:17:29.:17:32.

Richard Rochford carried out his burglaris.

:17:32.:17:37.

It is disgusting. People have worked hard for what they have, be

:17:37.:17:43.

it a lot or a little. That is it with the world today, there is not

:17:43.:17:47.

enough punishment for crimes that they know they are doing wrong.

:17:47.:17:50.

good are done, the bad get away with things.

:17:50.:17:55.

The judge's comments were picked up by the Prime Minister. Today he

:17:55.:18:00.

called burglars cowards. Burglary is a despicable and

:18:00.:18:05.

hateful crime. I have been boringled twice. You feel violated

:18:05.:18:09.

when you find that someone has smashed their way into your house.

:18:09.:18:14.

It is clear that people who burgle should be sent to prison.

:18:14.:18:21.

But Richmond upon Thames was horded to carry out 200 hours of unpaid

:18:21.:18:26.

work and warned to stay off drugs. But some agreed.

:18:26.:18:31.

We have to answer the deeper questions about why prison is not

:18:31.:18:35.

working. Tougher sentences do not lead to safer streets.

:18:35.:18:39.

Richard Rochford was told he would face jail if he burgled another

:18:39.:18:45.

house. Some on this street wanted more from the justice system.

:18:45.:18:50.

There are sentencing guidelines, but judges can depart from them,

:18:50.:18:57.

but in this case, with a two-year supervision order and 200 hours of

:18:57.:19:01.

unpaid work, it is not as if Richard Rochford walked here as a

:19:02.:19:06.

free man. He will have to behave, but it is the comments from the

:19:06.:19:10.

judge about burglars having courage that has upset many. That is why

:19:11.:19:14.

the judge, Peter Bowers, is to now face an investigation.

:19:14.:19:17.

Thank you very much. The top story:

:19:17.:19:21.

Three members of a British family have been found shot dead in their

:19:21.:19:26.

car in southern France. A four- year-old girl was discovered hiding

:19:26.:19:30.

under her mother's body. An eight- year-old girl is seriously injured

:19:30.:19:36.

in hospital. Coming up: Full speed ahead for

:19:36.:19:42.

Johny Peacock. He runs in the 100m final against Oscar Pistorius.

:19:42.:19:47.

We look at whether the changes and the planning rules will help to

:19:47.:19:53.

build homes in London on BBC London. As we head to what hopes to a warm

:19:53.:19:56.

weekend, we have a full weather forecast.

:19:56.:20:04.

All to come in 15 minutes' time. A campaigner against the UK's

:20:04.:20:08.

extradition laws want to stop the transfer of two British terrorism

:20:08.:20:12.

suspects to the United States by launching a private prosecution on

:20:12.:20:17.

them on the same charges that they face in America. The men are

:20:17.:20:23.

accused of running one of the world's most important jihadist

:20:23.:20:26.

websites based in London. This is Baba Ahmad, held for eight years

:20:26.:20:30.

without a trial, a record for a British citizen.

:20:30.:20:33.

He faces extradition to the United States where he is accused of

:20:34.:20:40.

running a website in London that cad kalised young Muslims in the

:20:40.:20:45.

west. Earlier he' paled to be prosecuted in the UK.

:20:45.:20:51.

The right place for me to respond is in a court of law. That is why I

:20:51.:20:55.

call upon the Crown Prosecution Service to mutt my heart at rest

:20:55.:21:01.

and everyone else's and to please put me on trial in this country.

:21:01.:21:05.

British prosecutors have never charged Baba Ahmad, they vefr never

:21:05.:21:11.

seen the evidence. So this man wants to do it for them. To

:21:11.:21:16.

privately prosecute Baba Ahmad and another man, Hassan Nasrallah.

:21:16.:21:23.

He says that the -- talla has n. These guys should face the full

:21:23.:21:27.

weight of the UK judicial system. We should not be sub-contracting it

:21:27.:21:30.

in any way shape or form to the Americans.

:21:30.:21:32.

A private prosecution can be brought by anyone, providing they

:21:32.:21:36.

can prove there is a case to answer. The Crown Prosecution Service could

:21:36.:21:40.

take over the case or discontinue it if it is not in the public

:21:40.:21:44.

interest. Could this work? I don't think that the magistrates will

:21:45.:21:50.

issue a summons to the men. Bearing in mind that the magistrate's court

:21:50.:21:53.

sent the case in extradition terms to the Secretary of State who

:21:53.:21:56.

ordered the extradition. The European Court giving a final

:21:56.:22:00.

ruling soon, but campaigners know that this plan is the last chance

:22:00.:22:06.

to stop the extraditions. Barack Obama has been formerly

:22:06.:22:10.

nominated as the Democratic candidate for this yore's American

:22:10.:22:14.

presidential election. In a rousing speech in North Carolina, Bill

:22:14.:22:17.

Clinton said he was endorsing Barack Obama for a second term as

:22:17.:22:23.

he prevented the US economy from sliding into a depression.

:22:23.:22:27.

Please, welcome, President, Bill Clinton.

:22:27.:22:32.

Live and unleashed, the man that the Democratics call the Big Dog.

:22:32.:22:37.

Bill Clinton is more popular than ever. He announced to put forward

:22:37.:22:39.

the name of President Obama for re- election.

:22:39.:22:45.

I want to nominate a man who is cool on the outside... CHEERING AND

:22:45.:22:51.

APPLAUSE.... But who burns for America on the inside.

:22:51.:22:59.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Now, are we where we want to be today? No. Is

:22:59.:23:04.

the President satisfied? Of course not. But are we better off than we

:23:04.:23:12.

were when he took office? There theirs is a wary allowance, but he

:23:12.:23:17.

praised the younger man for hiring his wife, handicap, even after the

:23:17.:23:22.

bruising prime Aries four years ago. He said there was a stark choice to

:23:22.:23:25.

face. When we vote in this election we

:23:25.:23:29.

are deciding on what kind of country we want after the election.

:23:29.:23:35.

If you want a winner take all in your society, you should support

:23:35.:23:39.

the Republican ticket, but if you want a country of shared

:23:39.:23:42.

opportunities, a "we're all in this together", you should vote for

:23:42.:23:49.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden. When it ended the nominee appeared,

:23:49.:23:52.

embracing the man whose star dust he hopes to catch. Bill Clinton is

:23:52.:23:57.

the only living President who can speak with authority about job

:23:57.:24:00.

creation, economic growth and balanced budgets.

:24:00.:24:06.

But Barack Obama, the outlook for him is as unpredictable as him as

:24:06.:24:10.

the Carolina summer that forced the organisers to move his speech

:24:10.:24:17.

tonight from a 70,000-seater football stadium into a smaller

:24:17.:24:22.

conference hall. In some ways, moving to a more

:24:22.:24:27.

modest venue may benefit a President who is sometimes accused

:24:27.:24:31.

of being too showbiz. What the voters are looking for is substance,

:24:31.:24:39.

a plan to bring America back. It is a big day for the Paralympics

:24:39.:24:43.

GB with Sarah Storey going for her fourth Gold Medal of the Games.

:24:43.:24:49.

Tonight, the eyes are on the final much the T44 men's 100m.

:24:49.:24:54.

We have the latest. This morning, it was basking in the

:24:55.:25:00.

sunshine, but this evening, the Olympic Stadium will be under an

:25:00.:25:04.

even brighter spotlight. The biggest final in Paralympic history,

:25:04.:25:07.

perhaps the arrival of a new British superstar.

:25:07.:25:12.

Johny Peacock going well. Last night, Johny Peacock was the

:25:12.:25:17.

fastest qualifier for the 100m final for the leg amputees. The 19-

:25:17.:25:21.

year-old from Cambridge is the world recordholder. He has the

:25:21.:25:27.

chance to claim the most famous scalp of all. Oscar Pistorius, who

:25:27.:25:32.

claimed the first gold of the Games in the relai, ahead of Livingston,

:25:32.:25:37.

the man that Oscar Pistorius said had unfair blades after he was

:25:37.:25:42.

beaten by him in the 200m. Stand by for the fireworks and the race in

:25:42.:25:45.

these Games. Tonight sees David we're going for

:25:45.:25:50.

his third Gold Medal. He is to start his favourite for the 800m.

:25:50.:25:54.

Before then, the British fans could have something else to celebrate, a

:25:54.:26:00.

piece of Paralympic history. Over a 20-year career, Sarah Storey has

:26:00.:26:05.

won ten Gold Medals. One more this afternoon in the road race, she

:26:05.:26:12.

will equal the modern-day British record shared by Baroness Mark

:26:12.:26:16.

Thompson. She is after the perfect race and

:26:16.:26:20.

perfection. That is the same, it does not matter in what sport or

:26:20.:26:26.

job you are doing, everyone is after perfection.

:26:26.:26:35.

So does Sarah share that desire. And the desire from Hannah

:26:35.:26:40.

Cockcroft, blasting her way through to the 200m final.

:26:40.:26:45.

Now more on the fatal shootings involving a British family in

:26:45.:26:49.

France. Let's go to Jon Sopel. I have come from the news

:26:49.:26:54.

conference that is taking place and some of the grisly details are

:26:54.:26:57.

beginning to emerge as to what happened. It seems three of the

:26:57.:27:02.

four people killed, the cyclist, the grandmother and the father were

:27:02.:27:09.

killed by bullet shots to the head it makes it sound like a marksman

:27:09.:27:14.

operating. 15 rounds were fired at the scene, at least, but there must

:27:14.:27:19.

be a full forensic operation before they can establish the cause of

:27:19.:27:25.

death. On the four-year-old it was when they went back to the campsite,

:27:25.:27:28.

others said that there were two children with the family. Then they

:27:28.:27:36.

went back to the car and found her under the seat, curled in a ball

:27:36.:27:41.

under the legs of her mother. She has been taken to a psychiatric

:27:41.:27:45.

hospital. Jon Sopel, thank you very much.

:27:45.:27:49.

Now to catch up with the weather Now to catch up with the weather

:27:49.:27:50.

with Peter. If you are basking in the sunshine,

:27:50.:27:56.

it will continue for the rest of the afternoon, you may be surprised

:27:56.:27:59.

to hear there is a gale blowing and the rain pouring down in another

:27:59.:28:04.

part of the UK. You can see why, this massive cloud over Scotland

:28:04.:28:10.

has been pouring down. The winds gusting up to 100 miles an hour

:28:10.:28:15.

over the top of the Cairngorms. The rain is sinking into the south. So

:28:15.:28:19.

later on patchy rain in Northern Ireland, brisk winds here too. The

:28:19.:28:24.

rain easing in the far north of Scotland. The western Highlands

:28:24.:28:28.

looking wet right through to the latter part of the afternoon.

:28:28.:28:32.

Glasgow is just 14 Celsius. Heading to England and Wales so the rain

:28:32.:28:37.

will not make it across the border. More wind than yesterday over

:28:37.:28:41.

northern England and the Midlands. Light winds in the south allowing

:28:41.:28:45.

temperatures to get up to about 21 Celsius.

:28:45.:28:50.

That will feel warm. The lightest winds in the south-west of England.

:28:50.:28:54.

Around the coast, the temperatures are levelling off at the high teens.

:28:54.:28:58.

A similar story in Wales, but the breeze is a little more noticeable

:28:58.:29:04.

in the west-facing coasts. This evening the winds are easing over

:29:04.:29:09.

Scotland. The rain easing off too, but pushing southwards, so northern

:29:09.:29:13.

England getting patchy rain. More cloud and more of a breeze tonight

:29:13.:29:19.

so the temperatures holding higher. Down in single figures for the

:29:19.:29:23.

southern most counties of England. That clearing tomorrow. England and

:29:23.:29:28.

Wales get the best of the deals as far as the sunshine is concerned.

:29:28.:29:32.

North-west England staying cloudy and damp, the south-west, hanging

:29:32.:29:39.

on to patchy rain, but drier and brighter in the north of Scotland.

:29:39.:29:42.

The temperatures as high as 16 Celsius in the south-east. That

:29:42.:29:48.

sets the scene for the weekend. A bit of warm sunshine around in the

:29:48.:29:55.

weekend. The temperatures climbing more in the brighter spots. Not

:29:55.:30:00.

everywhere will see the sunshine, but where you get the sunshine,

:30:00.:30:04.

possibly up to 26 Celsius, and higher still in the brighter

:30:04.:30:09.
