Former members of an undercover unit used by the British army in Northern

:00:00.:00:08.

Ireland tell the BBC's Panorama that unarmed civilians were killed.

:00:09.:00:13.

Ex-members of the Military Reaction Force said they had been tasked with

:00:14.:00:16.

"hunting down" IRA members in Belfast and that their unit saved

:00:17.:00:28.

many lives. We were there to act like a terror group.

:00:29.:00:31.

Will be hearing reaction from the Ministry of Defence. Also this

lunchtime: Labour accuses David Cameron of launching a "smear

:00:35.:00:36.

campaign" over their dealings with the Co-op Bank and its disgraced

:00:37.:00:39.

ex-chairman Paul Flowers. London Underground announces plans

:00:40.:00:42.

to run 24-hours a day at weekends and close all ticket offices, unions

:00:43.:00:45.

say they'll take action over the 750 jobs that will go.

:00:46.:00:50.

The huge campaign on social networks that, against all the odds, found a

:00:51.:00:53.

bone marrow match for this two-year-old boy.

:00:54.:00:58.

And Stuart Broad gives England the upper hand on the first day of the

:00:59.:01:00.

Ashes Series in Brisbane. Later on BBC London: Plans to close

:01:01.:01:09.

every Tube ticket office. How will it affect the capital's

:01:10.:01:11.

commuters? And Croydon University Hospital is

:01:12.:01:14.

told it still needs to make significant improvements.

:01:15.:01:34.

Good afternoon. Soldiers from a secret British Army

:01:35.:01:42.

unit have admitted shooting unanswered billions during the

:01:43.:01:46.

Troubles in Northern Ireland in the early 1970s. -- shooting unarmed

:01:47.:01:55.

civilians. The Ministry of Defence said the

:01:56.:01:58.

revelations have been referred to the police.

:01:59.:02:04.

In 1972, Belfast was one of the most dangerous places on earth. There

:02:05.:02:12.

were multiple bombings and shootings almost daily. Panorama has learned

:02:13.:02:16.

soldiers operating in that year acted outside the law, and shot

:02:17.:02:23.

unarmed civilians. The Military Reaction Force had about 40 men

:02:24.:02:27.

hand-picked from across the British Army. Three former members have

:02:28.:02:31.

agreed to appear on camera, on condition their identities were

:02:32.:02:40.

disguised. What was the mission? To draw out the IRA and minimise their

:02:41.:02:45.

activities. If they needed shooting, they would be shot. We were not

:02:46.:02:51.

there to act like an army unit, we were there to act like a terror

:02:52.:02:55.

group. Some plainclothes soldiers shot it was -- thought it was all

:02:56.:03:08.

right to shoot unarmed civilians. There were strict rules. I knew the

:03:09.:03:17.

rules of the yellow card inside out. I want to be clear about where the

:03:18.:03:25.

red line was? The operation was wound up after 18 months.

:03:26.:03:32.

Patricia's father was shot dead in 1972 as he stood talking to some

:03:33.:03:35.

friends of manning a civilian barricade. We would like a new

:03:36.:03:45.

inquest. An open verdict was recorded in 1972. My father was

:03:46.:03:50.

killed on loftily. I would not like it to go down in history that that

:03:51.:03:54.

was the verdict. He was an innocent man and he was killed. We asked the

:03:55.:04:04.

MoD for a response. These allegations have been referred to

:04:05.:04:07.

the Police Service of Northern Ireland. Military personnel are

:04:08.:04:11.

required to operate under the law of the land. Yesterday the Northern

:04:12.:04:15.

Ireland Attorney General proposed there should be no more enquiries

:04:16.:04:20.

into conflict related killings. This could mean the end of the historical

:04:21.:04:24.

enquiries team who have been reviewing such cases over the last

:04:25.:04:25.

seven years. Our Northern Ireland correspondent

:04:26.:04:38.

joins us now. What reaction has there been there? As you can imagine

:04:39.:04:45.

there has been outrage and upset. These are effectively claims of

:04:46.:04:50.

state involvement in murder, state sanctioning of murder. That is

:04:51.:04:53.

something which is very difficult for a lot of families. It took place

:04:54.:04:59.

when there was mayhem on the streets behind me here. Hundreds of killings

:05:00.:05:04.

and hundreds of bombings. The families of people killed by

:05:05.:05:08.

paramilitaries, the police, the Army, who was really have never been

:05:09.:05:14.

given justice. There is a difficulty in thinking that in some way the

:05:15.:05:18.

peace process stopped at the signing of the Good Friday agreement and

:05:19.:05:23.

politics changed for ever, it has not. People are still trying to deal

:05:24.:05:28.

with all of these issues. Politicians are currently locked in

:05:29.:05:31.

conversation trying to find some way of looking to the future while

:05:32.:05:37.

dealing with the past. You can just hear the difficulties when you see

:05:38.:05:41.

the reaction to the Attorney General for Northern Ireland's comments

:05:42.:05:44.

yesterday that perhaps we should draw a line and stop any

:05:45.:05:49.

prosecutions on things that happened before 1998. You can see the full

:05:50.:05:57.

Panorama programme tonight on BBC One at 9pm.

:05:58.:06:03.

Labour have accused David Cameron of launching a smear campaign against

:06:04.:06:07.

them about the Co-op. Ministers have made repeated claims about the ties

:06:08.:06:11.

between the Labour leadership and the Co-op Bank's disgraced chairman,

:06:12.:06:17.

Paul Flowers. Now Labour is accusing the government of having serious

:06:18.:06:18.

questions to answer. The tale of a disgraced former boss,

:06:19.:06:29.

it has become a Westminster blame game. David Cameron asked why

:06:30.:06:34.

Westminster did not tell the authorities -- by Labour did not

:06:35.:06:38.

tell the authorities about this man. We have a Prime Minister making

:06:39.:06:42.

cheap political points rather than sorting out the serious situation at

:06:43.:06:47.

this bank. David Cameron is determined to smear his way through

:06:48.:06:51.

the next 18 months. That is wrong and not what the British people

:06:52.:06:56.

expect from their Prime Minister. Labour say it was on this

:06:57.:06:59.

government's watcher that the Co-op got into trouble.

:07:00.:07:06.

These were the pictures that led to the political row. Paul Flowers

:07:07.:07:14.

filmed allegedly buying drugs. The allegations have not stopped there.

:07:15.:07:20.

A drug charity has said that Flowers was suspended after an investigation

:07:21.:07:25.

into his expenses. There were over right ear of claims and some of them

:07:26.:07:33.

were legitimate. -- there were a variety of claims. The Co-op Bank

:07:34.:07:43.

has loaned Labrie lot of money. Paul Flowers is a former Labour

:07:44.:07:50.

councillor. That, say Tories and Lib Dems, makes it Labour's problem. I

:07:51.:07:56.

am sure the Labour Party will want to account for itself and also make

:07:57.:07:59.

sure that in addition to all the questions which still exists towards

:08:00.:08:04.

how they act as puppets for the trade union bosses, that they are

:08:05.:08:10.

not also connected to old characters like this. There is a high-stakes,

:08:11.:08:17.

political battle going on here with both sides trying to associate their

:08:18.:08:21.

opponents with the career of the Reverend Flowers. Many are asking

:08:22.:08:27.

how this man, with no career in banking, ended up chairman of a

:08:28.:08:29.

bank? Our political correspondent is in

:08:30.:08:40.

Westminster. Is this a political spat or something more significant?

:08:41.:08:48.

Today, we are seeing the start of the Labour fightback. Four days,

:08:49.:08:52.

Labour have been receiving a pounding with a steady dribble of

:08:53.:08:59.

allegations. The response of Ed Miliband's team has been to say, we

:09:00.:09:03.

know nothing. We have done nothing wrong. But they have sat down and

:09:04.:09:11.

concluded this strategy has got them precisely nowhere. Now they have

:09:12.:09:14.

decided to go on the offensive and pin the blame on George Osborne,

:09:15.:09:20.

saying the Chancellor tried to help the Co-op by Lloyds branches. The

:09:21.:09:25.

Chancellor intervened in Europe on behalf of the Co-op. He must have

:09:26.:09:29.

known what sort of a bank it was and what sort of a man Paul Flowers was.

:09:30.:09:36.

Ed Miliband has weighed in accusing David Cameron of smear tactics. I do

:09:37.:09:42.

not know if you're a military historian, but Napoleon used to have

:09:43.:09:47.

a saying, attack is the best form of offence. Ed Miliband is trying to

:09:48.:09:54.

take a leaf out of his book and defend the Labour Party from these

:09:55.:10:02.

accusations by going on the attack. Stamp duty revenues grew by nearly

:10:03.:10:06.

half to more than ?1 billion in October to help reduce public sector

:10:07.:10:11.

borrowing by nearly 200 billion -- ?200 million. With me now is our

:10:12.:10:16.

business correspondent. Is this good news? The economic recovery has

:10:17.:10:22.

helped these figures, but critics say the reduction in the underlying

:10:23.:10:26.

deficit has still been modest and there is a long way to go. If we

:10:27.:10:30.

look at these figures, the total deficit, that is the difference

:10:31.:10:35.

between what the government get in through taxation versus what it has

:10:36.:10:40.

to to spend, that fell. It is down from 8.2 billion from the year

:10:41.:10:46.

before. But the net public debt, the amount of money we all owe as a

:10:47.:10:53.

country, that rose to ?1.2 trillion. It has risen to a new high. 7.4% of

:10:54.:11:05.

our output. That improving economy does mean that the amount of money

:11:06.:11:10.

the government actually got in through taxation rose to ?48.7

:11:11.:11:16.

billion. That is mainly down to the fact the economy has picked up, but

:11:17.:11:22.

it is that stamp duty revenue which has been a strong rise. That is up

:11:23.:11:28.

by 46%. As the property market picks up, more transactions take place and

:11:29.:11:35.

more tax is payable on that. That has helped things improve. This does

:11:36.:11:38.

make welcome reading at the Treasury. It is the last set of

:11:39.:11:43.

borrowing data we get before the autumn statement which we will get

:11:44.:11:49.

next month. There is still work to be done, but the economy is heading

:11:50.:11:54.

in the right direction. The phone hacking trial has been shown an

:11:55.:11:58.

e-mail from Clive Goodman in which he warned a personal assistant that

:11:59.:12:02.

they could all end up in jail if payments to police were traced. He

:12:03.:12:07.

is among eight defendants who denied all charges against them.

:12:08.:12:14.

Clive Goodman regularly requested payments to be made to his sources

:12:15.:12:19.

according to today's evidence. They focus on the system under which such

:12:20.:12:23.

payments were authorised at the News of the World. He is on trial because

:12:24.:12:28.

he is alleged to have paid serving police officers, one of them based

:12:29.:12:33.

at St James's Palace, for information including telephone

:12:34.:12:37.

numbers of the Royal household. The jury were told at the News of the

:12:38.:12:41.

World journalists like Clive Goodman would request payments to be paid to

:12:42.:12:44.

their more sensitive sources by cash. They sent e-mails, some of

:12:45.:12:49.

which were shown in court. Clive Goodman e-mailed a assistant in

:12:50.:12:56.

2005, as you know, there are only three people I ever pay in cash. We

:12:57.:13:01.

would all end up in jail if anyone traced their payments. They have had

:13:02.:13:06.

special Branch crawling all over them since we ran a story about

:13:07.:13:12.

Operation Trident. In January 2006 he said in any mail, I am afraid he

:13:13.:13:18.

is a cash only contributor because of his extremely sensitive job. The

:13:19.:13:25.

jury has been told that e-mail was sent to a police officer. The

:13:26.:13:39.

recipient denies -- Clive Goodman wrote denies being -- paying for

:13:40.:13:51.

stories. London Underground has announced

:13:52.:13:55.

plans to close every ticket office on the network and cut 750 jobs by

:13:56.:14:02.

2015. The Tube will also run 24 hours a day on Friday and Saturday

:14:03.:14:08.

on some lines. Just how radical is this? Let me put it this way, I know

:14:09.:14:18.

the chewed is a London thing, but as many people get on the London Tube

:14:19.:14:22.

every day as the amount they get on the rest of Britain's trains

:14:23.:14:28.

altogether. That is the significance of it. Over the next couple of years

:14:29.:14:32.

there are going to be some radical changes. You can probably see the

:14:33.:14:38.

ticket office up there. All of the ticket offices across the whole

:14:39.:14:44.

network or going to go. We are told 750 people will lose their jobs.

:14:45.:14:50.

Five of the biggest lines will also start running tubes for 24 hours on

:14:51.:14:58.

Friday and Saturday. Jobs going and ticket offices going might conjure

:14:59.:15:01.

up images of empty stations where people cannot get help. Transport

:15:02.:15:06.

for London are insisting that those people will be moved out of offices

:15:07.:15:11.

but they will be on hand on platforms. They say every station

:15:12.:15:16.

will be staffed when the tubes are running. They are insisting this is

:15:17.:15:21.

good for passengers, but the unions are not happy.

:15:22.:15:34.

Former members of an undercover unit used by the British Army in Northern

:15:35.:15:38.

Ireland tell the BBC's panorama that unarmed civilians were killed. Still

:15:39.:15:43.

to come, Monty Python and the O2 appearance. The comedy team announce

:15:44.:15:51.

a comeback show. The Met Police are being trained and how to deal with

:15:52.:15:54.

mentally ill suspects, after concerns are raised. And can London

:15:55.:15:57.

learn lessons from Berlin when it comes to cycling safely?

:15:58.:16:06.

Just a few days ago, two-year-old Gaurav Bains was facing the prospect

:16:07.:16:13.

of spending this Christmas fighting for his life will stop suffering a

:16:14.:16:17.

rare condition, he was in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant.

:16:18.:16:22.

Now, after a massive social media campaign, a perfect match has been

:16:23.:16:26.

found. And that is even more remarkable because finding a match

:16:27.:16:30.

among the Asian community has been all but impossible in the past.

:16:31.:16:37.

Gaurav Bains looks like a happy, playful two-year-old, but he's been

:16:38.:16:41.

diagnosed with a rare blood disorder that will develop into an aggressive

:16:42.:16:46.

form of leukaemia. His parents were told his only hope was a bone marrow

:16:47.:16:50.

transplant, but doctors were struggling to find a match. His

:16:51.:16:54.

family launched an appeal on social media and the campaign took off. At

:16:55.:16:58.

the same time, a perfect match was found. It's given us hope now. A

:16:59.:17:07.

complete stranger has given us that chance of life for our son. It's

:17:08.:17:11.

incredible. I can't explain the feeling. The charity, the Anthony

:17:12.:17:18.

Nolan Trust, estimates that more than 2000 people joined the bone

:17:19.:17:22.

marrow register as a direct result of Gaurav's appeal. And he inspired

:17:23.:17:30.

a huge increase in Asian donors. Doctor Sarah Lawson is planning the

:17:31.:17:33.

transplant at the Birmingham Children's Hospital. When they're

:17:34.:17:38.

only treatment option is a transplant and there isn't a family

:17:39.:17:42.

donor, we need an unrelated donor. The more Asian donors we can get on

:17:43.:17:45.

the panels and other ethnic minorities, the better chance we

:17:46.:17:49.

have of finding someone who is a match and then we can treat these

:17:50.:17:55.

patients. Red and four Gaurav's family, the campaign won't stop

:17:56.:17:59.

here. The awareness that has been created has been fantastic. We are

:18:00.:18:04.

not going to stop here. We want to keep campaigning because it is not

:18:05.:18:08.

just about Gaurav and us. We've been blessed we found one so soon. There

:18:09.:18:13.

have been people waiting for years out there. Doctors are expected to

:18:14.:18:17.

operate before Christmas. It will be followed by eight weeks of gruelling

:18:18.:18:21.

treatment. But this family say it's the best present they could hope

:18:22.:18:29.

for. The Foreign Office says it is investigating reports that four

:18:30.:18:32.

British nationals have been killed in Syria, while fighting alongside

:18:33.:18:36.

rebel forces. Several hundred British citizens are thought to be

:18:37.:18:40.

involved in the British -- Civil War. French police say a man

:18:41.:18:44.

arrested on suspicion of shooting a photographer in Paris served a

:18:45.:18:46.

prison sentence for his involvement in a notorious crime early 20 years

:18:47.:18:51.

ago. The suspect was linked to a far left militant group which killed

:18:52.:18:55.

three policemen and a taxi driver. A huge manhunt was mounted after the

:18:56.:18:59.

shooting in the offices of Liberation newspaper on Monday. He

:19:00.:19:06.

was found inside a car in an underground car park in a western

:19:07.:19:11.

Paris suburb. He was semiconscious after taking an overdose of drugs.

:19:12.:19:17.

Police say it may have been a suicide attempt. He is Abdelhakim

:19:18.:19:24.

Dekhar. Nearly 20 years ago, he was the third man in an infamous

:19:25.:19:28.

shooting spree in Paris. Two young far left radicals bungled a hold-up

:19:29.:19:32.

and killed three policemen and the taxi driver. Abdelhakim Dekhar

:19:33.:19:40.

supplied them with a firearm. He served four years. Those who knew

:19:41.:19:43.

him described him as a delusional figure.

:19:44.:19:48.

TRANSLATION: He frequented alternative far left groups in

:19:49.:19:52.

France. People who were very marginal and very secret, but he was

:19:53.:19:55.

even more marginal, something of a delusional character. Left-wing

:19:56.:20:03.

activists soon became wary of him. He is now recovering under guard in

:20:04.:20:08.

hospital. His DNA links and unmistakably to the attacks early

:20:09.:20:13.

this week. It is a bizarre twist, the re-emergence after nearly 20

:20:14.:20:17.

years they a once notorious criminal. Police in Paris will want

:20:18.:20:21.

to know what on earth pushed him to take up the shot gun once again. Was

:20:22.:20:26.

it some pestering sense of injustice after the previous affair, or some

:20:27.:20:32.

political grudge? And why was the media his main target? First here,

:20:33.:20:40.

threatening at BFMTV. And then on Monday at Liberation newspaper, when

:20:41.:20:43.

he opened fire and very nearly killed a man. The Conservative MP,

:20:44.:20:50.

Tim Yeo, has been cleared by the parliamentary enquiry of misusing

:20:51.:20:54.

his role as chairman of the Energy and Climate Change Committee. He

:20:55.:20:58.

stepped aside in June while the Parliamentary Commissioner for

:20:59.:21:00.

standards investigated allegations that he has told undercover

:21:01.:21:03.

reporters he could lobby ministers on behalf of a private company.

:21:04.:21:07.

Prince Charles has joined forces with the leaders of the three major

:21:08.:21:11.

political parties to edit -- urge young people to do public service.

:21:12.:21:16.

The Step Up To Serve campaign wants to get 50% of young people to

:21:17.:21:19.

participate in social action by 2020. It is also calling on adults

:21:20.:21:25.

to volunteer. Nicholas Witchel is at Buckingham Palace.

:21:26.:21:32.

The Prince of Wales will convene the leaders of Britain at Buckingham

:21:33.:21:36.

Palace to, quote, precisely the words that have been used about this

:21:37.:21:41.

by Clarence House. That conjures interesting possibilities for the

:21:42.:21:45.

future. This is an initiative by the Prince of Wales which,

:21:46.:21:48.

interestingly, is supported both by the Government and the opposition,

:21:49.:21:52.

to increase substantially the number of young people who are taking part

:21:53.:21:56.

in community service of some kind. The launch is taking place at

:21:57.:22:00.

Buckingham Palace at the moment. The Queen is not at Buckingham Palace,

:22:01.:22:05.

she is visiting the Shard in central London. But the Prince of Wales is

:22:06.:22:10.

there with the Prime Minister. This chimes with the big society

:22:11.:22:17.

ambitions. The ambition of this scheme is to double the number of

:22:18.:22:21.

young people between the ages of ten and 20 something like 1.7 million by

:22:22.:22:27.

the year 2020, who are participating in what they call practical action

:22:28.:22:31.

in the service of others. The Prince of Wales, in his speech a few

:22:32.:22:36.

moments ago, called this a huge and exciting challenge. It is his belief

:22:37.:22:39.

that this sort of structured activity helps not just the young

:22:40.:22:44.

people but society as a whole. Handicapped people, elderly people

:22:45.:22:47.

who perhaps they will be able to visit. The Queen has been getting a

:22:48.:22:54.

birds eye view of London from western Europe's tallest building,

:22:55.:22:59.

the Shard. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh toured the eye-catching

:23:00.:23:02.

building as part of a visit for scheme which helps pay for some of

:23:03.:23:05.

the poorest students going to university. They met staff and

:23:06.:23:09.

recipients of the scheme, which is supported by the Shard. England

:23:10.:23:14.

bowler Stuart broad has taken five wickets to give England the upper

:23:15.:23:17.

hand against Australia on the first day of the Ashes test in Brisbane.

:23:18.:23:22.

The home side had been reduced to 132 for six at one point, but went

:23:23.:23:32.

on to end the day at 270 348. This is the year of the nonstop Ashes.

:23:33.:23:37.

One series ends, another begins and Brisbane bustled. Not a sell-out

:23:38.:23:40.

crowd, but they came in search of heroes and villains. There we go...

:23:41.:23:49.

Booze and worse from the crowd greeted the first bowl. Broad's

:23:50.:23:58.

response was rapid, Chris Rogers gone, Australia 12 41. David Warner

:23:59.:24:02.

spent the English summer as the man the crowd love to hate. The

:24:03.:24:06.

aggression at once flowed to his fist is better used on a ball.

:24:07.:24:11.

Australia's beef with Broad relates to his refusal to walk off court

:24:12.:24:20.

during the last Ashes. Mixed in his sights, Australia's hapten. Michael

:24:21.:24:27.

Clarke gone for one. If this test match was turning into a battle of

:24:28.:24:30.

the Ashes bad boys, here came victory for Stuart Broad. 49 for

:24:31.:24:40.

Warner and out. All of Australia's top four batsmen had fallen to

:24:41.:24:44.

Stuart Broad. The broader picture was Australia in tatters, six down,

:24:45.:24:47.

until a stand between Brad Haddin and Mitchell Johnson clawed back

:24:48.:24:52.

lost ground. Both made 50. The final session swung towards Australia but

:24:53.:24:58.

gap -- back came Broad. Perhaps now even the crowd have realised their

:24:59.:25:02.

chanting had backfired. I'm pleased my mum wasn't in the stadium. To be

:25:03.:25:07.

honest, I was singing along at one stage. It gets in your head and you

:25:08.:25:13.

find yourself listening. Obviously not adding the words in. I had

:25:14.:25:22.

braced myself to expect it. It was good fun. At the close, Australia

:25:23.:25:31.

were 273 48. The weary abuse hurled towards Broad sounded almost

:25:32.:25:35.

respectful. The surviving members of Monty Python have been announcing

:25:36.:25:39.

details of their comeback reunion performance at an eagerly awaited

:25:40.:25:43.

news conference. John Cleese, Eric idle, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam

:25:44.:25:46.

and Terry Jones said they'd be doing a show at London's O2 Arena next

:25:47.:25:56.

summer. It is what many comedy fans have waited years for. The remaining

:25:57.:26:00.

members of the Monty Python team together on stage again. They were

:26:01.:26:06.

announcing a one-off reunion O2 Arena show to take place in summer

:26:07.:26:14.

2014. There is some new material. We will be stitching together some

:26:15.:26:19.

oldies. People really do want to see the old hits, but we don't want to

:26:20.:26:23.

do them in a predictable way. It will be a mix-up. Monty Python's...

:26:24.:26:37.

They were one of TV's boast successfully comedy acts during the

:26:38.:26:41.

1970s. They produced sketches and routine still famous today. Greene I

:26:42.:26:45.

didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition. Nobody expects the

:26:46.:26:59.

Spanish Inquisition! Confess! Run for four series and spawned spin

:27:00.:27:04.

offs ranging from books to records. The team also successfully branched

:27:05.:27:09.

out into films. Their first, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, made on a

:27:10.:27:12.

small budget between filming the third and fourth series of their TV

:27:13.:27:16.

show. The sixth member of the group, Graham Chapman, died in 1989.

:27:17.:27:23.

And, up until today, the remaining five have rarely appear together and

:27:24.:27:26.

even then dismissed any suggestions of a full-blown reunion. There will

:27:27.:27:29.

be those hoping that this will end up as more than just a one-off and

:27:30.:27:35.

that they will enjoy the experience so much that they will perhaps

:27:36.:27:38.

consider a new TV series or another film. A dramatic volcanic eruption

:27:39.:27:47.

in the Pacific Ocean has created a tiny new island off the coast of

:27:48.:27:51.

Japan. Pictures filmed by the Japanese Coast Guard showed clouds

:27:52.:27:55.

of heavy smoke and steam billowing over the newly formed Island, which

:27:56.:28:00.

is estimated to be around 200 metres in diameter. The last time a volcano

:28:01.:28:04.

in this area you ruptured was in the 1970s.

:28:05.:28:10.

The weather looks set to be settled and calm over the next few days.

:28:11.:28:18.

This afternoon is pretty pleasant. A lot of sunshine around, though we do

:28:19.:28:22.

have some showers around across eastern areas. The area of low

:28:23.:28:26.

pressure is slipping out onto the near continent. The area of high

:28:27.:28:33.

pressure will nudge in slowly over the next few days, settling the

:28:34.:28:38.

weather down. That said, we will continue to see brisk winds across

:28:39.:28:42.

the south-east corner of the UK, and some pretty heavy showers across the

:28:43.:28:47.

north-east, the Borders and Northumberland. The further west you

:28:48.:28:51.

are, it's a drier picture with the sunshine set to continue. Tonight,

:28:52.:28:55.

showers continue across the north-east of England and the

:28:56.:28:59.

south-east, where we have the keen north-easterly wind. It is set to

:29:00.:29:04.

turn much colder across Scotland and Northern Ireland. A widespread frost

:29:05.:29:12.

developing. Away from here, around the coast of England and Wales, it

:29:13.:29:16.

is generally a frost free night. Tomorrow morning, there will be a

:29:17.:29:21.

few showers across the Northern Isles and Cloutier, but for central

:29:22.:29:25.

and southern Scotland and Northern Ireland it is a cold, frosty start.

:29:26.:29:31.

Further south, a few showers affecting the north-east corner.

:29:32.:29:35.

Away from here, a lot of dry weather for Wales, the South West and the

:29:36.:29:40.

Midlands. Across the south-east we still have the niggling north-east

:29:41.:29:45.

wind and showers pushing into East Anglia and for Kent and Sussex.

:29:46.:29:50.

Those showers continue in the far south-east, eventually clearing

:29:51.:29:53.

away. For most places there will be a lot of sunshine, a perfect autumn

:29:54.:29:58.

day. A couple of showers affecting the Northern Isles but that is

:29:59.:30:02.

really it. Cold through Scotland in the Central Belt, a little bit

:30:03.:30:05.

milder the further south and east you are. This is the pressure

:30:06.:30:08.

picture through the course of Saturday and Sunday. High pressure

:30:09.:30:14.

dominating. It always stays out west, so it looks like we will have

:30:15.:30:18.

a run of very light northerly winds. High pressure doesn't always

:30:19.:30:23.

mean it is going to be sunny. Mainly dry for the weekend. Light winds.

:30:24.:30:28.

There will be variable amounts of cloud but also some sunshine. It

:30:29.:30:31.

will feel on the chilly side. Some sunshine around, feeling pleasant

:30:32.:30:36.

where it does. But where we get clear skies through the day, it will

:30:37.:30:39.

lead to frosty nights with the risk of some fog.

:30:40.:30:46.

Former members of an undercover unit used by the British Army in Northern

Ireland told the BBC's panorama that unarmed civilians were killed. That
