Hello and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:01:46.:01:47.

Ceremonies to mark the 70th anniversary of D-Day are

:01:48.:01:50.

drawing thousands of visitors to the cemeteries, beaches and villages

:01:51.:01:55.

Among those visitors are some of the few remaining survivors

:01:56.:01:59.

of the largest sea-borne invasion ever mounted.

:02:00.:02:00.

World leaders, including the Queen and President Obama, will gather to

:02:01.:02:04.

honour those who gave their lives in the battle against the Nazis.

:02:05.:02:13.

Events are taking place along the 50-mile stretch of the Normandy

:02:14.:02:16.

coastline, where Allied troops landed on the 6th of June, 1944.

:02:17.:02:19.

This is likely to be the last time a major anniversary is marked by large

:02:20.:02:30.

numbers of veterans, most of whom are in their 90s. They have

:02:31.:02:34.

travelled to these beaches where thousands of troops were killed to

:02:35.:02:37.

pay their respects. Robert Hall has been to meet some of the survivors

:02:38.:02:42.

of the Normandy battlefields. At the bridge which has become an icon for

:02:43.:02:48.

the airborne divisions, the chief of The Parachute Regiment Laure --

:02:49.:02:51.

marked them loss of life during a surprise attack that was vital to

:02:52.:02:54.

the D-Day plans. In the hours before the seaborne assault, 181 men

:02:55.:03:01.

targeted bridges over which German reinforcements could threaten Allied

:03:02.:03:06.

forces. The gliders landed in total darkness, within a few yards of what

:03:07.:03:10.

is now known as Pegasus Bridge. Today, the Prince of Wales laid a

:03:11.:03:14.

wreath in memory of what was described at the time of the finest

:03:15.:03:19.

piece of airmanship of the war. The original bridge is now in the nearby

:03:20.:03:22.

museum. The prince crossed its replacement to visit a cafe which is

:03:23.:03:29.

still owned by a family who treated the wounded that night and who

welcome red beret is as their Rome. I was born into it and I'm part of

:03:35.:03:39.

the history, as were my parents and sisters. It is a mission. In the

:03:40.:03:45.

skies above, the rumble of Merlin engines heralded the arrival of the

:03:46.:03:49.

Battle of Britain Memorial flight. More reminders for the dwindling

:03:50.:03:53.

number of veterans still able to visit Normandy and reflect on their

:03:54.:04:01.

experiences. I was 20 the next day. I didn't think I would see 20. In

:04:02.:04:09.

the Navy you didn't get your top until you were 20. I'm representing

:04:10.:04:14.

my grandad, James Walsh. He passed away two years September. We've come

:04:15.:04:19.

to wear his medals. I'm honoured and proud to be wearing them. We were

:04:20.:04:26.

brothers. You know where the phrase comes from, Lord Nelson. He was the

:04:27.:04:33.

first one to braise us. A band of Brothers. It's true. Westwoods along

:04:46.:04:50.

formal parade in the main square tomorrow evening. What ever their

:04:51.:04:53.

physical limitations, the veterans now in Normandy have made it clear

:04:54.:04:59.

they say this -- see this as a duty. They say as long as they are able,

:05:00.:05:02.

as long as they have family and friends to help them, they will

:05:03.:05:05.

return and they will remember. Robert Hall, BBC News, Pegasus

:05:06.:05:10.

Bridge. 70 years ago, the focus of attention in the last hours leading

:05:11.:05:14.

up to D-Day was across the Channel from here in Portsmouth. There

:05:15.:05:17.

today, many veterans have gathered for a special service to mark the

:05:18.:05:21.

anniversary of the Normandy landings, as Nick Higham now

:05:22.:05:26.

reports. In the shadow of the naval war more real on the common, a

:05:27.:05:32.

drumhead parade with a ceremonial guard of honour drawn from all three

:05:33.:05:35.

services. In a centuries-old tradition, drummers hail their drums

:05:36.:05:40.

to create a makeshift altar, a service to commemorate those killed

:05:41.:05:45.

in the D-Day landings and to honour those who survived. The sacrifice

:05:46.:05:49.

that was made to free Europe from tyranny 70 years ago is a vital

:05:50.:05:53.

lesson for all of us, not just the military lessons we can learn from

:05:54.:05:58.

the previous assault, but from the courage and professionalism of the

:05:59.:06:02.

soldiers, sailors and airmen who took part. Among those veterans is

:06:03.:06:07.

this man, 93, Royal Marine commando tasked on D-Day with capturing a

:06:08.:06:11.

German radar station. A matter-of-fact hero. We charged up

:06:12.:06:19.

the beach, cut the wires and the fences. Headed up towards the radar

:06:20.:06:23.

station, a scuffle here and a scuffle there. We took over the

:06:24.:06:28.

radar station. Anybody that didn't want to come along got shot. You

:06:29.:06:35.

make it sound very easy? It was. This was the closest major port to

:06:36.:06:38.

the invasion beaches and played an important role in the landings.

:06:39.:06:42.

Portsmouth was just one of dozens of departure points all along the south

:06:43.:06:47.

coast. Here, men embarked on to the landing craft from temporary jetties

:06:48.:06:52.

built alongside South Parade Pier, on Southsea beach. For a time on

:06:53.:06:57.

that morning 70 years ago, the supreme commander himself, General

:06:58.:07:12.

Eisenhower, watched them go aboard. This morning, a Dutch assault ship

:07:13.:07:14.

and the Royal Navy's HMS bulwark sailed close inshore to demonstrate

:07:15.:07:16.

what the modern amphibious landing looks like. In some respects it's

:07:17.:07:19.

not so very different from D-Day. Tonight, the ship will sail for

:07:20.:07:21.

France carrying a band of D-Day veterans back to the Normandy

:07:22.:07:27.

beaches. That arrival will herald a change of mood from the celebrations

:07:28.:07:30.

that we can hear behind me, as the planes fly overhead... To the bands

:07:31.:07:36.

that are going to be playing and the fireworks that of playing tonight.

:07:37.:07:41.

Tomorrow, and much more sombre mood as people remember events of 70

:07:42.:07:46.

years ago. Live coverage of more D-Day anniversary events on the BBC

:07:47.:07:49.

News channel throughout the afternoon and across the BBC

:07:50.:07:58.

tomorrow. One of the Birmingham schools at the centre of allegations

:07:59.:08:02.

of a Muslim takeover plot has been accused of doing too little to keep

:08:03.:08:07.

pupils safe from extremism. Ofsted has given the school and adequate

:08:08.:08:11.

rating. It comes as Michael Gove has denied he is at war with the Home

:08:12.:08:16.

Secretary, Theresa May, over the issue of Islamic extremism. Let's

:08:17.:08:19.

head to Westminster and Norman Smith. This has become a very ugly

:08:20.:08:25.

and damaging political row. The Ofsted report looks damning. The

:08:26.:08:30.

Ofsted report gives Buell to what is a very bitter row within Cabinet

:08:31.:08:36.

over how you tackle Islamic extremism. There has been a

:08:37.:08:39.

concerted attempt in Government this morning to try and dampen down that

:08:40.:08:44.

row with Michael Gove saying he now fully supported the Home Secretary.

:08:45.:08:45.

This is what he said this morning. Good morning, Secretary of State,

:08:46.:08:55.

Are you at war with which the Home Secretary?

:08:56.:08:59.

Certainly not, I think Theresa is doing a fantastic job.

:09:00.:09:02.

I hope that you will enjoy the rest of today.

:09:03.:09:04.

There's a lot going on, a lot of exciting things.

:09:05.:09:07.

Are they too soft on fundamentalism, though?

:09:08.:09:08.

However, the attempts to dampen down that row looked to be made much

:09:09.:09:16.

harder that the issue that has provoked it is set to explode into

:09:17.:09:21.

the public arena next week with the publication of the report into the

:09:22.:09:24.

so called Trojan horse plot, the claim that more than 20 Birmingham

:09:25.:09:29.

schools were targeted by Islamic extremists. We have obtained a copy

:09:30.:09:33.

of the report into one of those schools. It would appear to

:09:34.:09:38.

substantiate or back many of Mr Gove's concerns. Saying that the

:09:39.:09:42.

male members of staff felt intimidated, that there was an

:09:43.:09:46.

overwhelming focus on Islamic education in the religious education

:09:47.:09:49.

studies. It says pupils were left by rubble to the risk of

:09:50.:09:53.

marginalisation from British society and the associated risks of

:09:54.:09:57.

radicalisation. By this report matters is if it reflects what is in

:09:58.:10:00.

the Ofsted report to be published next week, that will ignite a

:10:01.:10:05.

political firestorm. Not just in Birmingham but in the educational

:10:06.:10:08.

establishment and, it would seem, in the Cabinet.

:10:09.:10:14.

The European Central Bank is expected to cut interest rates to

:10:15.:10:17.

address concerns that countries in the Eurozone could be facing

:10:18.:10:20.

The ECB may also set a negative interest rate for banks, in the hope

:10:21.:10:32.

it will encourage them to lend more. Let's talk to Simon Jack. How

:10:33.:10:37.

unprecedented is this? On the deposit rate for the banks, it's the

:10:38.:10:41.

first time it has ever happened in European Central Bank history.

:10:42.:10:45.

European banks have been stashing money for safekeeping. By having a

:10:46.:10:47.

negative interest rate, you are charging them for the privilege of

:10:48.:10:51.

doing that, a rather sharp prod in the ribs to say, don't do that, get

:10:52.:10:57.

out, lending to businesses and individuals to promote growth. They

:10:58.:10:59.

are getting very frustrated. The eurozone as a whole has only grown

:11:00.:11:03.

by 0.2% in the last quarter. There's a fear that prices could fall. That

:11:04.:11:07.

is the real economy killer, deflation. Why would you buy

:11:08.:11:10.

something to David could be cheaper next month or next year? You stop

:11:11.:11:14.

spending and the economy could grind to a halt. We're not there yet, but

:11:15.:11:19.

at 0.5% of inflation, we're not far off. That's the big worry.

:11:20.:11:25.

A BBC investigation has discovered that some major banks

:11:26.:11:27.

and credit card companies may have significantly underpaid

:11:28.:11:29.

the compensation due to customers for mis-sold payment protection

:11:30.:11:31.

One leading expert in PPI has put the shortfall

:11:32.:11:35.

The firms involved all insist they make every effort to pay the correct

:11:36.:11:40.

Here's our personal finance correspondent Simon Gompertz.

:11:41.:11:50.

Payment protection insurance on loans and credit, the biggest

:11:51.:11:56.

mis-selling scandal ever. Now it emerges that compensation to credit

:11:57.:11:59.

card customers could have been underpaid by up to ?1 billion. So

:12:00.:12:06.

all of these charges, I never saw. Mark Pascoe was wrongly sold the

:12:07.:12:08.

cover, designed to help if you were sick or unemployed. The claims

:12:09.:12:12.

company says his compensation is less than half what it should be.

:12:13.:12:17.

You thought the credit card companies ripped you off in terms of

:12:18.:12:28.

the deals and what they did to you. Mark has already been paid

:12:29.:12:30.

compensation, adding to the huge PPI bill faced by the banks. But take a

:12:31.:12:33.

look at this analysis of his credit card account. There are the payments

:12:34.:12:36.

for PPI cover going out, that's what he's been given back, but he was

:12:37.:12:39.

also charged for going over his credit limit while he was paying for

:12:40.:12:42.

PPI. There were late payment charges when he couldn't settle the bill on

:12:43.:12:46.

time and interest on the debt as it built up. The claim is that some of

:12:47.:12:49.

those charges should also be refunded, along with interest in his

:12:50.:12:54.

favour. It would take his compensation from ?6,000 to ?13,000.

:12:55.:13:01.

Did you ever make a claim on that? At the Financial Ombudsman Service,

:13:02.:13:05.

there's no doubt that charges triggered by mis-sold PPI should be

:13:06.:13:11.

refunded. If they haven't taken into account these charges, provided it

:13:12.:13:13.

was the sale of the payment protection insurance that caused the

:13:14.:13:17.

charges, then, yes, that would be wrong and they need to put that

:13:18.:13:22.

right. Mark's provider MBNA said of its overall policy...

:13:23.:13:31.

have all told the BBC they made every effort to pay the correct

:13:32.:13:33.

amount. Barclays adding... The size of the compensation

:13:34.:13:49.

shortfall is difficult to assess, so we asked a former banker and PPI

:13:50.:13:54.

expert to make an estimate. I'm confident that based on what you

:13:55.:13:57.

have discovered, the banks are looking at an extra compensation

:13:58.:14:01.

bill of around ?1 billion. It's a huge number. I think it could be the

:14:02.:14:05.

worst news they get this year. If that's true, many thousands of

:14:06.:14:09.

victims of PPI mis-selling may have been paid too little. Simon

:14:10.:14:11.

Gompertz, BBC News. And you can find much more

:14:12.:14:16.

on this story, including what the banks have had to say, by going

:14:17.:14:19.

to our website, bbc.co.uk/business. The Catholic Church in Ireland has

:14:20.:14:31.

told an order of nuns to cooperate into an inquest into the deaths of

:14:32.:14:36.

children who were found in a mass grave on their premises. Children

:14:37.:14:40.

who were found in the grounds of a home for unmarried mothers found --

:14:41.:14:47.

eyed of malnutrition or illness. It was a place where they were supposed

:14:48.:14:51.

to care for unmarried mothers and their children. The sight of what

:14:52.:14:55.

was a home run by nuns in Co Galway is now a marked graveyard. The

:14:56.:14:59.

bodies of nearly 800 children are thought to be here. They ranged in

:15:00.:15:04.

age from just two days to nine years old when they died, although the

:15:05.:15:08.

church says it has no records of their burial. This is a mass grave

:15:09.:15:13.

and they are all buried in this area. No little cross, no marking,

:15:14.:15:18.

no headstone, nobody knows who they are. It is actually almost 40 years

:15:19.:15:22.

since the remains were found hidden in a septic tank. It was claimed

:15:23.:15:30.

then that they were victims of the Irish famine. But historians

:15:31.:15:32.

searched through records and found that wasn't true. These men made the

:15:33.:15:35.

grim discovery when they were just children themselves. There it was,

:15:36.:15:40.

skulls piled up on top of each other. Maybe eight or nine feet

:15:41.:15:48.

deep. It's thought most of the children died of sickness or

:15:49.:15:51.

disease, but this has again raised concerns about how the Catholic

:15:52.:15:55.

Church in Ireland treated children in its care during the middle of the

:15:56.:15:59.

20th century. The Irish Government was under pressure to give a state

:16:00.:16:03.

apology and to hold enquiries over what one of its own ministers has

:16:04.:16:06.

described as a reminder of Ireland's darker past. There are

:16:07.:16:12.

plans for a memorial to remember children once deliberately

:16:13.:16:16.

forgotten. Hidden secret now uncovered that has again raised

:16:17.:16:19.

questions about the morality and actions of both the Church and the

:16:20.:16:32.

in Ireland. Leaders at the G-7 summit in... Said they will impose

:16:33.:16:37.

more sanctions on Russia. There are signs of a desire to find a

:16:38.:16:42.

diplomatic solution to this crisis. Matthew Price reports now from

:16:43.:16:47.

Brussels. In Eastern Ukraine it is begun, not

:16:48.:16:51.

the diplomats that is being heard for now. -- it is begun. Pro-Russian

:16:52.:16:57.

separatists fighting the Ukrainian army for control. But in Brussels

:16:58.:17:04.

seven of the world's most powerful leaders may have found a way out of

:17:05.:17:09.

this crisis. They know the key lies with the Russian president. Persuade

:17:10.:17:13.

him to control the separatists and Ukraine could be pulled back from

:17:14.:17:18.

the brink. Here is what Russia has to do. Recognise Ukraine's new

:17:19.:17:23.

president, withdraw all its forces from the border between the two

:17:24.:17:26.

countries and persuade the separatists to put down their

:17:27.:17:32.

weapons. TRANSLATION:

:17:33.:17:35.

We have a three pronged approach. We want is a port -- support Ukraine

:17:36.:17:39.

economically. We want to talk to Russia about what it has to do. We

:17:40.:17:44.

have to think about further sanctions. What the leaders have

:17:45.:17:48.

outlined here is a way to potentially diffuse this crisis.

:17:49.:17:51.

Everything now depends on the Russian reaction. There is that

:17:52.:17:56.

threat of further sanctions but the G-7 is hoping it is not going to

have to use it. This evening Britain's David Cameron as well as

counterpart. Mr Poroshenko, he said, has a unique chance. His hands are

:18:17.:18:20.

not yet covered in blood. In Ukraine, with another person dead,

:18:21.:18:25.

another life to mourn, a solution to this crisis can't come soon enough.

A gunman has shot dead three police officers in southeastern Canada.

:18:34.:18:36.

Another two officers and a third person were wounded in the town of

Monkton. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police say the man they are hunting

:18:42.:18:45.

is armed and dangerous. Daniel Birch has the latest.

:18:46.:18:51.

The suspect is still at large. Residents have been warned to stay

:18:52.:18:55.

indoors. Streets are closed off. As police in the Canadian city of

:18:56.:18:59.

Monkton search for a gunman who shot dead three of their colleagues. They

:19:23.:19:26.

their life is not threatened at this time. One eye witness reported

:19:27.:19:30.

seeing a man standing in the street, pointed the weapon at police cars

:19:31.:19:34.

and says he heard a burst of automatic gunfire. Police are

looking for a 24-year-old suspect, who they believe is still in the

weather front into northern parts of Scotland. Some fog on the eastern

rain beginning to ease a touch. Further south, a dry enough night

through Saturday. Rain residing across northern parts of Scotland, a

scattering of showers towards the West. In inland areas, a close and
