:00:17. > :00:22.a senior executive at the broadcaster BSkyB, died along with

:00:22. > :00:26.his eight-year-old daughter. Police continue to investigate.

:00:26. > :00:31.They conflict in Syria, the UN human rights investigator points to fresh

:00:31. > :00:34.evidence that rebel forces may have used chemical weapons.

:00:34. > :00:41.Plans to stop people claiming a pension simply because they are

:00:41. > :00:51.married to a British citizen. Have a good day! And a sizzling bank

:00:51. > :01:09.

:01:09. > :01:13.holiday Monday, the UK could enjoy Cornwall are trying to establish the

:01:13. > :01:15.cause of a speedboat accident yesterday in which a man and his

:01:15. > :01:21.eight-year-old daughter were killed. Four people, including three

:01:21. > :01:25.children, are being treated in hospital. The man has been named as

:01:25. > :01:28.51-year-old Nick Milligan, a senior executive with BSkyB. Our

:01:29. > :01:33.correspondence Sarah Ransome is in Padstow for us now.

:01:33. > :01:38.Yes, this is a popular holiday is what both here and on the other side

:01:38. > :01:42.of the estuary, and yesterday afternoon holidaymakers were out

:01:42. > :01:45.enjoying this glorious bank holiday sunshine, but just before four

:01:45. > :01:50.o'clock, they watched in horror as the drama began to unfold before

:01:50. > :02:00.their very eyes. One person told me it was the worst thing they had ever

:02:00. > :02:02.

:02:03. > :02:09.Nick Milligan was in Cornwall on holiday with his young family when a

:02:09. > :02:13.sunny afternoon on the water turned into a tragedy. A major search and

:02:13. > :02:18.rescue operation got under way after the senior BSkyB executive's

:02:18. > :02:22.speedboat span out of control. turned sharply to one side, tipping

:02:22. > :02:26.six people into the water. The vessel then circled around and

:02:26. > :02:31.around, and on a number of occasions it hit the people in the water,

:02:31. > :02:36.causing them significant injury. Local skippers went to help, and one

:02:36. > :02:39.managed to get close enough to jump on board and cut the engine. Teams

:02:39. > :02:44.of coastguards have been out this morning searching the coastline for

:02:44. > :02:47.clues to help try and piece together exactly what happened, and with

:02:47. > :02:52.thousands of holidaymakers flocking to the area, police want anyone with

:02:52. > :02:57.more video footage to get in touch to help with their investigation.

:02:57. > :03:02.This horrific incident has left this picturesque Cornish town in shock.

:03:02. > :03:09.Various people that I've seen quite a lot in that time, and here, this

:03:09. > :03:14.is a nasty accident that will live with us. Time, I am afraid. Mr

:03:14. > :03:16.Gilligan and his eight-year-old daughter died. A 39-year-old woman

:03:16. > :03:23.and three young children are currently being treated for serious

:03:23. > :03:26.leg injuries in in Plymouth. -- Mr Milligan. Sky have issued a

:03:26. > :03:29.statement, saying it is shocked and saddened at the news and says its

:03:29. > :03:33.thoughts are with the Milligan family. It goes on to say, Nick

:03:33. > :03:37.Milligan has been a great friend and colleague for many years, his loss

:03:37. > :03:44.will be felt not just across the company but across the whole

:03:44. > :03:47.industry, too. Sarah, thank you very much indeed.

:03:47. > :03:50.The UN human rights investigator, Carla del Ponte, has said there is

:03:50. > :03:55.evidence to suggest that rebel forces in Syria may have used

:03:56. > :03:59.chemical weapons. She said the UN inquiry team had interviewed doctors

:03:59. > :04:02.and victims in neighbouring countries which had resulted in

:04:02. > :04:09.strong concrete suspicions but not incontrovertible proof that the

:04:09. > :04:19.nerve agent sarin had been used. Some chemical weapons were used, in

:04:19. > :04:21.

:04:21. > :04:26.particular nerve gas, and what appeared to our investigation that

:04:26. > :04:29.was used by the opponents, by the rebels.

:04:29. > :04:35.Carla del Ponte there. With me as our diplomatic correspondent Bridget

:04:35. > :04:38.Kendall, what shall we make of her comments? Well, she is a senior UN

:04:38. > :04:41.human rights official. Her commission is supposed to be looking

:04:41. > :04:44.into human rights abuses, not chemical weapons, and she admits

:04:44. > :04:49.that, but in the course of gathering evidence, they have come across

:04:49. > :04:56.these testimonies which she thinks 2.2 sarin gas and two rebels having

:04:56. > :04:59.used them. -- which she thinks dewpoint two. She does not rule out

:04:59. > :05:04.the possibility that the Syrian government may have used chemical

:05:04. > :05:11.weapons, too. These are informal comments, she was giving an

:05:11. > :05:15.interview to television. It is not formally presented evidence. She

:05:15. > :05:18.will no doubt pass this on to the UN team which is looking at chemical

:05:18. > :05:22.weapons, the inspectors were waiting in Cyprus to be allowed to go into

:05:23. > :05:27.Syria. That may be a long time that they have to wait, because President

:05:27. > :05:30.Assad has not given them permission to go in, and in the meantime her

:05:30. > :05:34.words, however informal, will play into the very acute political debate

:05:34. > :05:37.going on around the world about these chemical weapons. It might

:05:37. > :05:41.make it more difficult for the British government is to make the

:05:41. > :05:46.case that the EU should lift their embargo to arm rebels. Some EU

:05:46. > :05:50.countries are worried about this, and if they are using chemical

:05:50. > :05:54.weapons, is that a good idea? It may also complicate matters for the US

:05:54. > :05:57.government. The US Secretary of State is off to Moscow this week to

:05:57. > :06:05.try to convince the Russian jet is time for them to shift their

:06:05. > :06:10.position. They will also point to these comments, saying that Bassett

:06:10. > :06:13.is not always the Syrian government that is the problem. -- perhaps.

:06:13. > :06:18.The Government wants to stop people receiving a state pension based on

:06:18. > :06:21.the work of a husband or wife. Today ministers highlighted the fact that

:06:21. > :06:29.some of those claiming the married persons allowance never visited the

:06:29. > :06:32.UK, but the change would affect both British and not British citizens. --

:06:32. > :06:35.non-British. It will be part of an overhaul of the state pension which

:06:35. > :06:40.will be included in the Queen's Speech on Wednesday. Robin Brant

:06:40. > :06:46.reports. There are big changes coming in

:06:46. > :06:51.pensions. From 2016, there will be a new single rate payment, the same

:06:51. > :06:55.for everyone. The Government is urging people to put more in the jar

:06:55. > :06:58.for when they retire. The coalition is also looking to save money by

:06:58. > :07:04.cutting back what some British families abroad are untitled two.

:07:04. > :07:10.The Government believes there are 220,000 people living outside the UK

:07:10. > :07:14.who gets taxpayer funded pensions. They can claim up to �3500 PA, the

:07:14. > :07:18.married person's allowance. It is estimated to cost the government

:07:18. > :07:21.about �410 million per year. But this is a payment based solely on

:07:21. > :07:26.the British work history and contributions of a spouse, not

:07:26. > :07:29.because they paid in themselves. Going forward, your pension will

:07:29. > :07:34.depend on what you put into the system. If you have paid national

:07:34. > :07:37.insurance, you will get a pension. If you have been at home with

:07:38. > :07:42.children, you will get credits. Most of this is about people who have

:07:42. > :07:45.never paid into the system, most of whom are not in the country at the

:07:45. > :07:48.moment. This is part of a bigger change to pensions which has been

:07:48. > :07:54.trailed for some time. When the government unveils its pensions Bill

:07:54. > :07:58.later this week, the centrepiece is a new system based on contributions,

:07:58. > :08:02.what you individually put him through work or childcare, but some

:08:02. > :08:05.predict a big bureaucratic headache when it comes to pensioners abroad.

:08:05. > :08:10.The logistics of this could be quite challenging for the government,

:08:10. > :08:14.because they are proposing to make a distinction between spouses who have

:08:14. > :08:18.built up an expectation under the present system who live in England,

:08:18. > :08:21.who have spent time in England, who may be British National's, and

:08:22. > :08:26.spouses who perhaps have not lived in England or who have ended up

:08:26. > :08:29.retiring abroad to the government now determined should not be allowed

:08:29. > :08:34.to inherit any state pension based on the partner's contribution

:08:34. > :08:39.history. The Government says this is about fairness, future pensioners

:08:39. > :08:44.will get out what they put in, but the change will affect people,

:08:44. > :08:48.mostly wives, in the UK as much as those abroad, because it is about

:08:48. > :08:51.contributions, not nationality. And Robin joins us now from

:08:51. > :08:56.Westminster. Is there a bit of politics going on with this?

:08:56. > :09:02.Absolutely. This is a government which has come in for internal

:09:02. > :09:05.criticism for benefit payments. Other entitlements for foreigners,

:09:05. > :09:08.and this government wants to make it clear that it is doing what it can

:09:09. > :09:12.to clamp down on that. But what we have here is a big change to

:09:12. > :09:16.pensions which is about contributions. It is not about

:09:16. > :09:20.foreigners, British people living in the UK, but ministers have decided

:09:20. > :09:23.to emphasise this number 220,000 who are currently living abroad to

:09:23. > :09:27.receive this allowance who in the future will not be allowed to do

:09:27. > :09:30.that. What they are not saying so clearly is that, among that number,

:09:30. > :09:36.there are some British National 's living abroad who will not included.

:09:36. > :09:39.They cannot be precise on the balance. Also this change will apply

:09:39. > :09:46.equally to British wives, mostly British wives who live here in the

:09:46. > :09:50.UK. They will no longer receive this allowance either.

:09:50. > :09:54.Police are appealing for help finding Ryan McDonald, one of two

:09:54. > :09:58.men who escaped from a prison van in Salford last week. The other man,

:09:58. > :10:02.Stevie McMullen, was picked up by police in Lancashire, along with two

:10:02. > :10:09.men they suspect of helping him to escape. Police say 27-year-old Ryan

:10:09. > :10:13.McDonald, who is still at large, poses a potential danger.

:10:13. > :10:18.A high-profile trial has begun in Munich of a woman accused of being

:10:18. > :10:24.part of a neo-Nazi group which killed ten people over six years,

:10:24. > :10:27.almost all of Turkish origin. She faces life in prison if she is

:10:28. > :10:32.convicted. She denies the murder charges. Stephen Evans is in Munich

:10:32. > :10:35.for us. Stephen. Yes, two years ago she

:10:36. > :10:40.walked into a police station and said, I am the person you are

:10:40. > :10:43.looking for, and from that moment the police theory that these murders

:10:44. > :10:48.were all the work of Turkish Mafia collapsed, and it became clear that

:10:48. > :10:53.they were racist murders. So today, at this Court, everyone was waiting

:10:53. > :10:57.to see what the woman accused looked like.

:10:57. > :11:00.Beate Zschaepe ensures court in Europe, all eyes on the woman

:11:00. > :11:08.accused of being the one survivor of a neo-Nazi cell which murdered ten

:11:08. > :11:14.people. Outside the court, protesters accuse the police of

:11:14. > :11:19.failing to stop a series of killings of people of Turkish origin. The

:11:19. > :11:23.murderers have sent a bizarre video to the police, with pictures of the

:11:24. > :11:28.victims intercut with the pink Panther movie. In the Turkish

:11:28. > :11:34.community in Germany, there is outrage. I would like this trial to

:11:34. > :11:40.trigger a public debate on right-wing extremism, neo-Nazi

:11:40. > :11:44.movements in Germany. We do have a problem, but I have impression is

:11:44. > :11:51.that parts of the political class are avoiding public debate on this

:11:51. > :11:57.challenge for our democracy. Across Germany, there have been memorials,

:11:57. > :12:01.like this one, led by a father mourning the murder of his son.

:12:01. > :12:06.Police said that it was the Turkish Mafia, so family members were

:12:06. > :12:13.interrogated as suspects. There is now a Parliamentary inquiry.

:12:13. > :12:20.obvious failure of our security forces is, at the least, based on

:12:20. > :12:24.underestimating the threat of neo- Nazism in Germany, prejudice to the

:12:24. > :12:29.investigation, and certainly a lot of miscommunication between

:12:29. > :12:33.different security institutions. There is intense media interest in

:12:33. > :12:37.this trial about the charges against Beate Zschaepe, of course, but a

:12:37. > :12:43.wider interest about the allegation that the authorities were blind in

:12:43. > :12:47.the right eye, as it is put, that the police failed to see crimes

:12:47. > :12:53.committed by the far right. Beate Zschaepe, film deal for a police

:12:53. > :12:57.identity parade, is the face of a bigger issue. How much did the

:12:57. > :13:03.authorities know about the operation of a neo-Nazi cell going about its

:13:03. > :13:07.murderous business in freedom? Now, when she appeared in court this

:13:07. > :13:12.morning, she looked very businesslike, like a businesswoman

:13:12. > :13:16.in a black jacket and white blouse. She maintained her silence, but it

:13:16. > :13:19.is legal argument at the moment. There will be some days before we

:13:19. > :13:23.get into the full hearing of evidence and her chance to make a

:13:23. > :13:29.case. Thank you very much indeed, Stephen

:13:29. > :13:33.Evans, reporting from Munich. Britain will host an international

:13:33. > :13:37.conference on Somalia tomorrow to try to build on progress made in the

:13:37. > :13:42.war-torn country over the last year. The UK already gives �63 million per

:13:42. > :13:45.year in aid to the country, and at the conference it will push for more

:13:45. > :13:50.direct funding for the Somali security forces, but some will be

:13:50. > :13:53.asking where the money goes. Gabriel Gatehouse reports now from

:13:53. > :13:59.Mogadishu's Seaport, where business is flourishing, but where corruption

:13:59. > :14:04.is a serious problem. These sacks of dried lemons are on

:14:04. > :14:08.their way to the Gulf. Decades of war and piracy almost destroyed this

:14:08. > :14:13.once powerful trading hub, but in recent months better security has

:14:13. > :14:18.seen the number of ships docking here more than double. Mogadishu

:14:18. > :14:21.Seaport represents more than just a return to business for Somalia. It

:14:21. > :14:26.could be the engine of its economic resurrection. Well, all of this

:14:26. > :14:30.activity is, of course, great news for people trying to gain some

:14:30. > :14:35.money. For these porters and loading the bags to the wholesalers, to the

:14:35. > :14:39.lorry drivers, to the farmers who grow the lemons. They can all start

:14:39. > :14:44.to earn a living. The problem is, very little of this money is

:14:44. > :14:48.actually making its way into Somali government pockets. Somalia doesn't

:14:48. > :14:53.have an income tax. Most of the federal budget comes from foreign

:14:53. > :14:56.aid. What little revenue the government collect it does here at

:14:56. > :15:03.the country's ports. But even the people who work here say corruption

:15:03. > :15:09.is rife and it goes all the way to the top. Our money is being stolen

:15:09. > :15:12.by the management and by the businessmen, this Porter told us. A

:15:12. > :15:18.recent report prepared for the Somali government found that most of

:15:18. > :15:22.the revenue generated by the Seaport was going missing. 75% is an

:15:22. > :15:26.accounted for, so I think the international community have a say

:15:26. > :15:32.in this regard is to say, you know what, since we are paying for that,

:15:32. > :15:36.we need to understand that money we have donated, we need to find out

:15:36. > :15:40.exactly what you are doing with it, and they have a right to do so.

:15:40. > :15:44.Unless the international community demands that, nothing is going to

:15:44. > :15:47.change in my view. The port authorities deny the allegations of

:15:47. > :15:52.corruption, and these truckloads of goods are emblematic of a city

:15:52. > :15:58.rising up out of the rubble of war. But for all the improvements, the

:15:58. > :16:01.gun is often still the ultimate arbiter. Foreign aid is paying for

:16:01. > :16:06.militiamen to join a fledgeling national-security course, but the

:16:06. > :16:09.old clan loyalties can still trump the nascent sense of the greater

:16:09. > :16:19.national good and he who controls the Gates also controls the revenue

:16:19. > :16:25.

:16:25. > :16:30.Andy Gorum protesters in the United States have declared alarm and a

:16:30. > :16:36.group announced it had created the world's first working at gun to be

:16:36. > :16:39.produced by 3 D technology -- anti- gun protesters. Our science

:16:39. > :16:44.correspondent saw the gun test- fired in Texas.

:16:44. > :16:49.Many thought this could not -- many thought this could not be done. A

:16:49. > :16:54.moment to celebrate for its maker but could this plastic file on have

:16:54. > :17:00.grave implications for gun-control around the world? -- plastic fire

:17:00. > :17:03.arm. The major part have been created with this $8,000.30 D

:17:04. > :17:09.Printer. Computer-designed of fed in and the machine built each

:17:09. > :17:12.component from layer upon layer of plastic. It cannot be traced and

:17:12. > :17:18.potentially is undetectable and this man plans to make the

:17:18. > :17:25.blueprints available online. Their estates all over the world that say,

:17:25. > :17:29.we are a gun-control state, that is not true any more. Are you worried

:17:29. > :17:34.about the people using this? This could be used to harm other people,

:17:34. > :17:39.that is what it is, it is a gun, that is not a reason to not do it

:17:39. > :17:44.or put it out. But today's successful test and the aim to make

:17:44. > :17:48.this as easy to replicate as possible, 3 D printing is on the

:17:48. > :17:53.radar of law enforcement agencies around the world.

:17:53. > :17:57.Criminals were still able -- still be able to access guns more easily

:17:57. > :18:01.off-line but some risks will emerge and that could include sectors of

:18:01. > :18:06.society that have not traditionally been able to get hold of weapons

:18:06. > :18:11.like younger people. 3 D printing is being hailed as the future of

:18:11. > :18:18.manufacturing, but with all new technology, along with benefits

:18:18. > :18:22.Now, forecasters say today could be the hottest day of the year so far.

:18:22. > :18:25.For once, the good weather is falling on a Bank Holiday, so lots

:18:25. > :18:30.of us should be able to enjoy it. Daniela Relph is at Ruislip Lido.

:18:30. > :18:39.Daniela, plenty of people enjoying the sunshine there?

:18:39. > :18:45.They really are, it is absolutely glorious! The first beach deck

:18:45. > :18:52.chairs were down at 9am. At after waiting so long for summer to

:18:52. > :18:57.arrive, everybody's making the most It has been a long time coming but

:18:57. > :19:03.on Hyde Park's voting lake, at last some decent weather. Most of the UK

:19:03. > :19:08.has seen temperatures rising. Also in Snowdonia, a hint of some at! In

:19:08. > :19:13.Margate, the more adventurous could take to the water. And in a corner

:19:13. > :19:20.of west London, there was a distinctly Mediterranean feel. The

:19:20. > :19:24.beach created here, by midday, there was barely a space. Finally

:19:24. > :19:29.some proper sunshine after the long winter gloom! Could not wait for

:19:29. > :19:35.this day, I have been waiting for the weekend! It has been a long

:19:35. > :19:39.winter so we are going to enjoy it while it lasts! You get everything

:19:39. > :19:42.together and get out of the front door on a day like this.

:19:42. > :19:48.crucially, the good weather has come on a bank holiday when

:19:48. > :19:52.everybody can enjoy it. Has a good day! But the long winter and spring

:19:52. > :19:57.has been felt hard by businesses dependent on good weather and they

:19:57. > :20:01.hope this really is the start of summer. And we enjoy it, everybody

:20:02. > :20:06.enjoy is set and we made a lot of ice-cream! But for many here, there

:20:06. > :20:11.was a definite sense of making the most of it. Bitter experience of

:20:11. > :20:16.British weather has shown it often does not last!

:20:16. > :20:20.There is no doubt everybody here is enjoying themselves but the mood is
