:00:00. > :00:09.The UK's spy bosses are about to be quizzed in public by MPs in an
:00:10. > :00:12.unprecedented move. The bosses of MI6, MI5 and GCHQ will
:00:13. > :00:14.be televised as they answer questions amid continuing damaging
:00:15. > :00:20.revelations from former US analyst Edward Snowden.
:00:21. > :00:25.A court martial is played a recording of the moments before a
:00:26. > :00:29.Royal Marine allegedly shot dead a Taliban prisoner.
:00:30. > :00:32.It has emerged the terror suspect who fled from a London mosque in a
:00:33. > :00:39.burka has been seeking government compensation over torture
:00:40. > :00:42.allegations. A surprise for London commuters as
:00:43. > :00:48.the Duke and Duchess Cambridge turn up to support the Royal British
:00:49. > :00:51.legion's Poppy Appeal. And the Olympic Torch is about to
:00:52. > :00:53.make history, it's arrived in space ahead of its first space walk this
:00:54. > :01:04.afternoon. Stuart Lancaster named a whole new
:01:05. > :01:31.front row. Good afternoon and welcome to the
:01:32. > :01:36.BBC News at One. In an unprecedented move, the heads of Britain's three
:01:37. > :01:41.intelligence agencies will appear together in public for the first
:01:42. > :01:44.time this afternoon. Their appearance in front of the
:01:45. > :01:50.intelligence and Security to will be televised. The former director of
:01:51. > :01:53.GCHQ said he hoped it means a move towards greater openness. It come
:01:54. > :02:01.that are damaging revelations from Edward Snowden.
:02:02. > :02:06.Today, Parliament will be host to something neither it or the watching
:02:07. > :02:11.public have seen before. The three chiefs of Britain's spy agencies
:02:12. > :02:14.appearing together in front of television cameras to be questioned
:02:15. > :02:19.by parliamentarians. Andrew Parker is head of the
:02:20. > :02:26.Security service, it deals with domestic threats like terrorism and
:02:27. > :02:28.espionage. Sir John Sawers is the chief of MI6.
:02:29. > :02:36.They collect human intelligence abroad from agents. Sir Ian Lobb and
:02:37. > :02:38.is the director of GCHQ, the communications intelligence agency
:02:39. > :02:43.which monitors phone and Internet traffic. Together the three will
:02:44. > :02:49.talk about the threats they see and what they are doing to deal with
:02:50. > :02:53.them. GCHQ has been the most secret but has been thrust into the
:02:54. > :02:58.spotlight thanks to revelations by Edward Snowden whose leaks revealed
:02:59. > :03:03.the scale of capabilities GCHQ uses in conjunction with the Americans.
:03:04. > :03:09.Journalists who have worked with Edward Snowden said better oversight
:03:10. > :03:13.of spies is vital. There was a system of mass spying that the
:03:14. > :03:17.British and American people had no idea about. I believe it can bring
:03:18. > :03:23.about accountability if there is political will. Sir Malcolm Rifkind
:03:24. > :03:27.is chair of the committee and will lead the questioning. A time delay
:03:28. > :03:31.on the television feed means secrets are unlikely to be spilt. The
:03:32. > :03:35.committee itself will be under scrutiny to see if it is capable of
:03:36. > :03:42.providing real accountability. A former GCHQ director believes this
:03:43. > :03:47.is an important moment. This is the first opportunity the committee have
:03:48. > :03:52.had in public to demonstrate its new role, its new status as a
:03:53. > :03:57.Parliamentary committee. It has new powers and more resources and now it
:03:58. > :04:01.has to convince the public it is capable of overseeing activities of
:04:02. > :04:06.the intelligence community. Intelligence chiefs used to hide
:04:07. > :04:10.from the spotlight, even their names were on known. Today they will be
:04:11. > :04:17.thrust to the centre of attention in parliament meaning, for the first
:04:18. > :04:23.time, the public get a chance to see the people who spy on Britain.
:04:24. > :04:29.More from our political correspondent at Westminster. This
:04:30. > :04:33.is a moment of extraordinary theatre. There is an industry of
:04:34. > :04:41.intrigue and fascination around spying. Why? Because so much of it
:04:42. > :04:46.happens in secret and will continue to happen in secret. In the next
:04:47. > :04:51.hour, the three men we have been hearing about whose careers are
:04:52. > :04:56.shrouded in secrecy, will appear here. They will face scrutiny in
:04:57. > :05:00.front of MPs and the cameras. It will be intriguing to see what
:05:01. > :05:09.anthers they can offer given the recent revelations romped Edward
:05:10. > :05:12.Snowden. Intriguing will be the tone that MPs strike. Because this is
:05:13. > :05:17.happening in public and because of the limitations of what these men
:05:18. > :05:23.can say, to what extent will they be able to learn something? We will
:05:24. > :05:30.learn something, no doubt, simply by seeing them. There is a back-up, if
:05:31. > :05:36.any of the Spooks, the spies say something like a state secret, they
:05:37. > :05:42.can pull the plug on the live TV feed. That would mean none of those
:05:43. > :05:46.state secrets would leave the room. And you can watch full coverage of
:05:47. > :05:51.the hearing on the BBC News Channel from 2pm.
:05:52. > :05:56.It has been revealed in the High Court that the terror suspect who
:05:57. > :06:00.fled from a West London mosque disguised in a burka is seeking
:06:01. > :06:04.compensation from the government. Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed, who cut off
:06:05. > :06:09.his electronic tag before he disappeared, alleged the British
:06:10. > :06:16.authorities were complicit in his torture in Somaliland in 2011. This
:06:17. > :06:21.man brought this case before he went on the run, he brought it with
:06:22. > :06:25.another terrorism suspects. Both of these men were claiming that when
:06:26. > :06:28.they were in Somaliland they were tortured by authorities there. They
:06:29. > :06:35.said the British were complicit. In the case of Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed,
:06:36. > :06:40.he is naming the Foreign Office, the Home Office, the Ministry of Defence
:06:41. > :06:46.and the Attorney General. The other man is also implicating MI5 and MI6.
:06:47. > :06:51.There was a very brief hearing this morning, very brief. Basically, that
:06:52. > :06:55.involves whether secret intelligence could be heard at a future hearing.
:06:56. > :07:03.The subject of his disappearance was not addressed. A military jury has
:07:04. > :07:07.retired to consider its verdict in the court-martial of three Royal
:07:08. > :07:13.Marines accused of murder. All three Marines, who are not being named,
:07:14. > :07:17.deny murdering an Afghan insurgent. Audio footage of the incident which
:07:18. > :07:44.led to their arrest had been played in court.
:07:45. > :07:50.That was what was played in court, we can talk to our defence
:07:51. > :07:57.correspondent. Tell us about what happened in court this morning. This
:07:58. > :08:01.is the audio from a video which the judge last week ruled should not be
:08:02. > :08:07.released to the media, even though it had been played in open court on
:08:08. > :08:11.the first day of this trial. At legal argument, the audio and some
:08:12. > :08:16.stills have been released to the media this morning. That was a small
:08:17. > :08:19.part of around six minutes of dialogue between the three Royal
:08:20. > :08:26.Marines which was caught on the video which itself led to their
:08:27. > :08:31.prosecution. At the moment, the jury or board as it is known here, have
:08:32. > :08:38.gone out to deliberate their verdict. Their verdict will centre
:08:39. > :08:43.on the allegation that all three killed beyond known insurgent, or
:08:44. > :08:48.were party to the killing of the insurgent in a field in Helmand
:08:49. > :08:52.province in September 2011. What we do not know at this stage is whether
:08:53. > :08:59.the anonymity order will be listed on the three. The judge gave his
:09:00. > :09:04.summing up yesterday asking the board to consider the case against
:09:05. > :09:07.each defendant separately and to use their own experience of life and the
:09:08. > :09:15.Armed Forces when considering their verdict against the three. MPs say
:09:16. > :09:18.nearly half ?1 billion spent developing the government's flagship
:09:19. > :09:22.welfare reform may have to be written off. The Commons Public
:09:23. > :09:31.affairs committee is warning oversight of the Universal Credit
:09:32. > :09:35.scheme has been alarmingly weak. Millions of people who claim a
:09:36. > :09:40.series of different, complicated benefits will eventually move to a
:09:41. > :09:44.new system applying online and getting one monthly payment. The
:09:45. > :09:50.ambitious project is called Universal Credit, but it has had a
:09:51. > :09:55.troubled beginning. A tiny number are actually claiming it in a
:09:56. > :09:59.handful of pilots. Braun went on to Universal Credit in September after
:10:00. > :10:05.losing his job, he has not had a smooth experience. They said they
:10:06. > :10:11.would get me an appointment at the job centre within two days, that did
:10:12. > :10:18.not happen. They said they would return my phone calls within three
:10:19. > :10:23.hours, that did not happen. MPs said ?140 million have been wasted on
:10:24. > :10:30.computer systems. Today's report says the whole project has been
:10:31. > :10:35.blighted by weak management. It is an unmitigated disaster of
:10:36. > :10:40.extraordinary proportions. Ministers say they do not want to play the
:10:41. > :10:44.blame game over what went wrong in the past, but to concentrate on the
:10:45. > :10:47.future of this project. There is still the question of who takes
:10:48. > :10:54.responsibility for the serious problems? Senior civil servants
:10:55. > :10:59.still in place? Or the ministers themselves? Labour sources say there
:11:00. > :11:04.was a concerted effort by allies of Iain Duncan Smith to shift blame
:11:05. > :11:07.away from him towards the permanent Secretary of the department.
:11:08. > :11:11.Ministers say they have full confidence in the top civil servant
:11:12. > :11:17.and the new managers working on Universal Credit. We put a new team
:11:18. > :11:22.in, a new team leader, and we reset the programmes to make sure that as
:11:23. > :11:28.we roll it out safely and securely, it will deliver what we needed to
:11:29. > :11:33.deliver. In greater Manchester, teams have been trying to explain
:11:34. > :11:38.Universal Credit to the small number of people affected so far. There is
:11:39. > :11:43.still a big question, when will this new system be ready for millions of
:11:44. > :11:47.potential claimants? Almost one third of councils in
:11:48. > :11:51.England are planning to increase council tax next year according to
:11:52. > :12:03.new research. A survey by the new government Chronicle found that most
:12:04. > :12:06.councils are considering a rise. The jury in the phone hacking trial
:12:07. > :12:11.at the Old Bailey have been hearing house then you're in Ericsson and
:12:12. > :12:14.the leader of the Fire Brigades Union Andy Gilchrist both had their
:12:15. > :12:21.voice mail targeted because they both had affairs. -- Sven Goran
:12:22. > :12:25.Eriksson. The prosecution says both of these
:12:26. > :12:32.affairs became big news because of phone hacking. Friend Goran Eriksson
:12:33. > :12:39.was revealed in 2004 to have had an affair. -- Sven Goran Eriksson. Most
:12:40. > :12:50.of the evidence had been in written statements in the last few days, it
:12:51. > :13:00.suggests that details of her mobile phone, PIN numbers for her voice
:13:01. > :13:04.mail were done without her permission. Turning to Andy
:13:05. > :13:10.Gilchrist, the Fire Brigades Union leader, during the strike the sun
:13:11. > :13:15.revealed he had had an affair with a colleague in the fire brigade, some
:13:16. > :13:20.years before it had to be said. He said he could not understand how
:13:21. > :13:26.journalists seem to be finding out where he was at a particular time.
:13:27. > :13:30.He felt they had access to confidential information about him.
:13:31. > :13:34.He said he and colleagues joked that when they were leaving messages on
:13:35. > :13:39.each other's phones that they might be being listened to by MI5 or MI6.
:13:40. > :13:45.Tracy Holland, when she was confronted about the story, said the
:13:46. > :13:49.journalist dealing with her from the sun said he had reported back every
:13:50. > :13:54.night about the story to Rebekah Brooks. She was editor of News of
:13:55. > :14:00.the World and moved to the sum at the point where this story was being
:14:01. > :14:06.written. It is the Crown's case that she had to know about the phone
:14:07. > :14:10.hacking. All the defendants, but in particular Andy Colson and Rebekah
:14:11. > :14:15.Brooks denied their role in conspiring to be involved in the
:14:16. > :14:22.interception of phone messages. They deny all the charges against them. A
:14:23. > :14:27.20 old man has appeared in court charged with the manslaughter of two
:14:28. > :14:31.teenage girls after they were hit by a car on Sunday morning. Our
:14:32. > :14:38.correspondent is a Portsmouth Magistrates' Court for us. What
:14:39. > :14:41.happened in court? This court hearing related to an incident which
:14:42. > :14:46.happened in the early hours of Sunday morning. Police were called
:14:47. > :14:52.following reports of a collision between a car and two teenage girls.
:14:53. > :14:59.Olivia Lewry, who was 16, was taken to hospital where she later died.
:15:00. > :15:02.The pair were best friends. They were described as independent and
:15:03. > :15:07.strong minded individuals who lived their lives to the full. As news of
:15:08. > :15:19.their deaths spread throughout the community, people left tributes and
:15:20. > :15:26.flowers at the place of the crash. Last night, detectives announced
:15:27. > :15:30.they had charged a 21 man two counts of manslaughter. He appeared at
:15:31. > :15:34.court this morning and spoke to confirm his name and personal
:15:35. > :15:43.details. He was remanded in custody and will appear in court tomorrow.
:15:44. > :15:47.Our top story this lunchtime, UK spy bosses are about to be quizzed in
:15:48. > :15:51.public about their work. The move follows damaging relegation is --
:15:52. > :15:55.revelations from Edward Snowden. Still to come, something worth
:15:56. > :15:59.tweeting about. Twitter makes it debut on the New York Stock
:16:00. > :16:03.Exchange. Later, all the sport on BBC News,
:16:04. > :16:07.including the latest England squad. Roy Hodgson names the players to
:16:08. > :16:19.face Chile and Germany in friendlies as the team continues its
:16:20. > :16:23.preparation for the World Cup. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
:16:24. > :16:26.surprise hundreds of Londoners today as they joined poppy sellers outside
:16:27. > :16:32.a tube station in Kensington. They travelled thereby bus to support the
:16:33. > :16:38.Royal British Legion's Poppy appeal ahead of Remembrance Sunday. A few
:16:39. > :16:40.milestone the Road, Prince Harry was accompanying the Duke of Edinburgh
:16:41. > :16:50.for his visits to the Field of Remembrance.
:16:51. > :16:56.It is that time of year when the generations stand together to
:16:57. > :17:00.remember. In the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey, a
:17:01. > :17:05.grandfather and a grandson. The Duke of Edinburgh, 92 now, who saw active
:17:06. > :17:09.service in the Royal Navy in World War II, and Prince Harry, who on
:17:10. > :17:16.Remembrance Sunday last year was serving with his regiment, the Army
:17:17. > :17:21.Air Corps in Afghanistan. The Duke and the prince placed their
:17:22. > :17:23.crosses, joining the many hundred already in the Field of Remembrance.
:17:24. > :17:29.Crosses which embraced remembrance across the decades, from men lost in
:17:30. > :17:32.the First World War on the battlefields of the Western front,
:17:33. > :17:38.to the more recent casualties, soldiers killed serving in
:17:39. > :17:41.Afghanistan. It was the first time the opening of the Field of
:17:42. > :17:45.Remembrance had been attended by Harry. His grandfather had invited
:17:46. > :17:49.him, a chance for the younger generation to become more visibly
:17:50. > :17:53.associated with remembrance and a brawl which the Duke has performed
:17:54. > :17:57.for years. The Duke remains very busy. He will attend five different
:17:58. > :18:01.remembrance events over the next few days, most with the Queen. More and
:18:02. > :18:04.more, there is the sense that the Royal family is looking to the
:18:05. > :18:10.future, and the baton has been passed. Harry's presence was
:18:11. > :18:13.appreciated by the veterans. I'm pleased to see him here. Why was not
:18:14. > :18:18.expecting him to be here. Woodward told the Duke of Edinburgh was
:18:19. > :18:23.coming. But he is one of us. He has served. The younger generation has
:18:24. > :18:27.got to come, because Prince Philip and the Queen are getting on and it
:18:28. > :18:31.is nice that the young ones can do it. And two more of the younger ones
:18:32. > 0:11:37were certainly getting aboard this morning. William and Catherine
