:02:07. > :02:09.Robin Williams has been found dead at his home in California, having
:02:10. > :02:12.apparently taken his own life. Robin Williams had
:02:13. > :02:16.a long career that started with his zany portrayal of an alien in
:02:17. > :02:21.the 1970s TV show Mork and Mindy. He went on to become famous
:02:22. > :02:23.for films such as Good Morning Vietnam and Dead Poets
:02:24. > :02:27.Society, and he won an Oscar But he struggled with depression,
:02:28. > :02:33.and addiction to drugs and alcohol. Our Los Angeles correspondent,
:02:34. > :02:38.Alastair Leithead, reports. It was this zany alien that
:02:39. > :02:47.propelled Robin Williams to stardom. Mork and Mindy was a huge TV hit
:02:48. > :02:51.in the late 1970s and early '80s and he was soon making him
:02:52. > :02:54.self heard on the big-screen. It won him a Golden Globe
:02:55. > :03:02.and an Oscar nomination. His versatility and talent
:03:03. > :03:07.eventually rewarding him with an This might be the one time I'm
:03:08. > :03:14.speechless. But it is his comic roles he
:03:15. > :03:17.will be best be remembered for. I specialise in the education
:03:18. > :03:24.and entertainment of children. He was due to start filming
:03:25. > :03:27.a follow-up to his famous role Robin Williams was discovered
:03:28. > :03:34.unconscious and pronounced dead He had struggled with drug
:03:35. > :03:42.and alcohol addiction He's a comedic legend,
:03:43. > :03:51.a dramatic legend. World cinema has lost one
:03:52. > :03:57.of its biggest stars. One only hopes that he's gone to
:03:58. > :04:02.a good place. Grieving fans came to pay tribute
:04:03. > :04:05.at his star on Hollywood's He was one
:04:06. > :04:11.of the greatest men alive. Robin Williams was one of those rare
:04:12. > :04:23.talents whose work crossed generations from the 1970s of Mork
:04:24. > :04:27.and Mindy through Mrs Doubtfire, all those characters he created
:04:28. > :04:31.on screen, on television, and he's someone who from what we have been
:04:32. > :04:34.hearing from Twitter and from all those comments from around the
:04:35. > :04:37.world, who will be sorely missed. Alastair Leithead, BBC News, on
:04:38. > :04:42.Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles. Robin Williams' frenetic energy
:04:43. > :04:45.and quick wit as a performer masked his personal
:04:46. > :04:49.troubles off the screen and stage. He battled with drink and drugs in
:04:50. > :04:53.the 1970s and '80s, and although he managed to overcome his addictions
:04:54. > :04:57.for 20 years, he eventually returned to them, and was said
:04:58. > :05:00.by his publicist to have recently Our Arts correspondent, David
:05:01. > :05:15.Sillito, looks back at his life. This is why I had to give up alcohol
:05:16. > :05:19.- you have pay the next day! At his peak, his brain could come up with
:05:20. > :05:24.jokes, characters, situations faster than you could begin to process
:05:25. > :05:29.them. The phrase used over and over was "manic energy". But those
:05:30. > :05:35.routines about drink and drugs, he was speaking from real experience.
:05:36. > :05:39.When people medicate themselves, there are other things, you are
:05:40. > :05:46.trying to resolve, or trying to shut down. Like I said, with cocaine, it
:05:47. > :05:53.was to realise the fame is disappearing, to deal with that
:05:54. > :05:54.loss. In Aladdin they rewrote the film around his exuberant
:05:55. > :06:03.performance. It was not just a film around his exuberant
:06:04. > :06:09.quick-fire armour of jokes... His best roles revealed an actor who
:06:10. > :06:17.seemed to have great lines of emotion below the surface. In recent
:06:18. > :06:22.months, that sobriety needed some fine-tuning. Often people are
:06:23. > :06:27.surprised when you see someone who spreads such joy, had bouts of
:06:28. > :06:32.depression. I understand recently it was severe depression, so much so
:06:33. > :06:38.that he checked himself back into rehab, just weeks ago. His mother,
:06:39. > :06:41.he said, had been a drinker. There were childhood experiences he
:06:42. > :06:50.occasionally referred to, with a shudder. The story of the clown that
:06:51. > :06:55.is sad or tormented is almost a cliche. Robin Williams was far from
:06:56. > :06:59.alone. We have had a lot of comedians in the entertainment
:07:00. > :07:03.industry talk about mental health problems like depression. Some will
:07:04. > :07:08.say it is a coping strategy. I look at life differently and to help me
:07:09. > :07:16.get through life I take quite a comedic slant on life. The group
:07:17. > :07:21.with the highest risk of suicide? It is not comedians. It is middle-aged
:07:22. > :07:25.men. In July, the last photo he posted was a birthday message, a dad
:07:26. > :07:27.saying happy birthday to his daughter who he said would always be
:07:28. > :07:31.his baby girl. Our Arts Editor, Will Gompertz, is
:07:32. > :07:41.in Edinburgh. How would you assess the legacy of
:07:42. > :07:45.Robin Williams? Well, he was an extraordinary performer. He
:07:46. > :07:50.performed here early in his career, in the '70s. What he did was he gave
:07:51. > :07:54.you everything he had. You were in no doubt that you had the full Robin
:07:55. > :07:58.Williams. That was an amazing thing to be on the receiving end of,
:07:59. > :08:04.whether it was in a theatre, or in a cinema. The problem with that, of
:08:05. > :08:09.course, is it leaves a huge gap for a performer and as we have been
:08:10. > :08:13.hearing, he replenished that gap with alcohol and with drugs. Not, he
:08:14. > :08:19.said, because he wanted to get up, but because he wanted to get out,
:08:20. > :08:22.get down. We saw, as an audience, the manic side of Robin Williams. We
:08:23. > :08:31.didn't see the depressive side, which he kept secret. I think we did
:08:32. > :08:37.see a hint of it in his films. As an actor and a comedian, he was able to
:08:38. > :08:44.go from the funny guy, to a nuanced character actor, like we saw in Good
:08:45. > :08:47.Will Hunting and Dead Poets Society. We began to see the sensitivity of
:08:48. > :08:50.the man. Thank you. There is more on this story
:08:51. > :08:53.on the BBC News website. There you'll find more reaction to

:09:51. > :09:56.survivors, they crossed over as daylight came. The shock of the
:09:57. > :10:01.ordeal still raw. Most had to walk through Syria and then back into
:10:02. > :10:10.northern Iraq, helped by Kurdish fighters from the PKK. People are

:10:22. > :10:24.walked for days to get here. They have been starving, they are
:10:25. > :10:28.exhausted, but here they have been able to get some food. Now, they are
:10:29. > :10:33.looking for somewhere to stay. It is unclear where most of them will end
:10:34. > :10:35.up. They have, in many cases, no final destination. Some have said
:10:36. > :10:39.they have heard of derelict buildings that they can go and camp
:10:40. > :10:42.in, so they are going to go and see where they end up. The only thing
:10:43. > :10:47.they are sure of is that they can't go home. Staying alive was the
:10:48. > :10:52.priority. Now, it is finding somewhere to sleep and to live.
:10:53. > :10:54.International aid agencies are here, but the need is overwhelming, as
:10:55. > :11:00.nearby towns struggle to cope. Many refugees,
:11:01. > :11:04.members of the minority Yazidi community, remain stranded on
:11:05. > :11:07.a mountain side in north-west Iraq. They've been without food,
:11:08. > :11:10.water and shelter for days now, Our correspondent, Jiyar Gol,
:11:11. > :11:15.travelled to Mount Sinjar on one of the helicopters that's involved
:11:16. > :11:25.in dropping aid. In a quiet corner of Iraqi
:11:26. > :11:37.Kurdistan, a couple of old Soviet helicopters are waiting to be
:11:38. > :11:43.loaded. This is everything the Kurds have. This woman is a British Kurd.
:11:44. > :11:49.She's only arrived today. We saw lots of displaced Yazidis, it was
:11:50. > :11:53.horrific to see. And I can't imagine what's waiting there on the
:11:54. > :12:00.mountains for us to see. After four hours waiting for patrol, the
:12:01. > :12:04.helicopter finally takes off to Sinjar Mountain. Transporting aid by
:12:05. > :12:11.road is a dangerous mission. The small helicopter is packed with
:12:12. > :12:15.food, water and medicine. Islamic State militants control swathes of
:12:16. > :12:20.land in this region. The crew frequently come under attack. We
:12:21. > :12:27.were lucky this time. After 14 minutes in the air, we finally
:12:28. > :12:32.reached them. In the past ten days, tens of thousands of the minority
:12:33. > :12:38.Yazidi sect are trapped on the mountain. When we try to land, we
:12:39. > :12:47.were overwhelmed by people trying to jump on board. Just about a dozen
:12:48. > :12:56.made it out. The fear is with airlifting on this scale, many might
:12:57. > :12:59.not survive. Days without water and food, these people take what they
:13:00. > :13:07.can. They have lost many loved ones and hold on to those who remain.
:13:08. > :13:12.Finally, a safe landing back at the base. Those who made it on to the
:13:13. > :13:17.helicopter will now head to the relative safety of a refugee camp in
:13:18. > :13:25.Kurdistan. But this handful were the lucky ones. Just a fraction of the
:13:26. > :13:31.thousands still suffering fear and despair on the besieged mountain.
:13:32. > :13:35.Over the last four nights, British forces, along with US air
:13:36. > :13:38.crews, have dropped food, water and medical supplies to the many people
:13:39. > :13:42.It's an ongoing operation, and our correspondent, Andrew Plant,

:13:53. > :13:58.This huge hangar is the main base for UK aid. You can see it's
:13:59. > :14:02.half-full. Those are not destined for Iraq. This is where the air
:14:03. > :14:06.drops came from. This whole bottom section here, full of pallets, due
:14:07. > :14:11.to fly out to northern Iraq yesterday evening. This is what they
:14:12. > :14:18.were carrying, tarpaulins to shelter people from the extreme heat there.

:14:42. > :14:48.Iraq. Hercules sending supplies. You could go there and drink the water.
:14:49. > :14:52.In this hang-up more than 3000 water containers were loaded into the

:14:58. > :15:03.handle. Dropped into an area with little clean water or food
:15:04. > :15:07.available. There is limited food. We have heard reports of eating raw
:15:08. > :15:16.sheep. These supplies will provide the most life-saving issues. Solar
:15:17. > :15:20.lamps are also inside the airdrops, which can charge mobile phones,
:15:21. > :15:24.allowing agencies to keep in touch with the people waiting on the
:15:25. > :15:31.ground. This was the second airdrop. The first was on Saturday.
:15:32. > :15:37.Sunday's was abandoned over fears supplies could injure people waiting
:15:38. > :15:42.below. There is a balance between the risks and the accuracy. We take
:15:43. > :15:48.that carefully into consideration when planning these missions. We

:15:53. > :15:58.made available to aid organisations on the ground in Iraq, to try to

:16:06. > :16:11.distribute that ?3 million. The two Hercules that blew the aid will not
:16:12. > :16:15.fly home again. They will be based overseas. This operation has a base

:16:52. > :16:57.northern Iraq. Another characteristic that is unique of
:16:58. > :17:03.this plight of internally displaced and refugees is that they move fast
:17:04. > :17:07.from one place to another, because of the fast changing situation on
:17:08. > :17:12.the ground. Nobody seems to understand who controls what close
:17:13. > :17:18.to the front lines of the battles between the Kurdish fighters on one
:17:19. > :17:26.side, and the fighters of Islamic State on the other. This ambiguity
:17:27. > :17:29.translates into people setting up camp in certain areas considered
:17:30. > :17:33.safe and then going again to other areas of Iraq and some have gone
:17:34. > :17:40.into Syria, two areas considered safer.
:17:41. > :17:54.The top story. Robin Williams, the American actor and comedian, is

:18:37. > :18:42.the first European to die Will Ross reports from Lagos
:18:43. > :18:57.in Nigeria. Miguel Pajares contracted the virus
:18:58. > :19:04.when working as a missionary in Liberia. He was airlifted to Spain
:19:05. > :19:09.last week. Reports said he was treated with an experimental drug.
:19:10. > :19:14.He has died in hospital in Madrid. There have been calls the patients
:19:15. > :19:20.in West Africa to be given the same drug, Zmapp, which has not yet been
:19:21. > :19:23.tested on humans. At a meeting in Switzerland, the World Health
:19:24. > :19:28.Organisation agreed that given the scale of the outbreak the untested
:19:29. > :19:34.drugs can be used, as long as certain conditions are met, one
:19:35. > :19:38.being all patients give consent. There was unanimous agreement among
:19:39. > :19:44.experts that the special circumstances of this outbreak, it
:19:45. > :19:48.is ethical to offer unregistered intervention as potential treatment
:19:49. > :19:54.or prevention. The Liberian government said it will get a
:19:55. > :19:58.limited supply of the drug, which will treat two infected doctors. The
:19:59. > :20:04.drug is highly unlikely to end the outbreak. What is needed is a
:20:05. > :20:07.concerted effort to assist the weak health systems in affected
:20:08. > :20:18.countries, so cases can be identified and patient isolated. So
:20:19. > :20:22.far the virus has killed 1013 people and infected 1848. What is not known
:20:23. > :20:31.is how many undetected cases are out there.
:20:32. > :20:38.Our medical correspondent is with me. How effective might this drug
:20:39. > :20:44.be? We simply do not know. It is called Zmapp. It is developed by a
:20:45. > :20:49.Californian company. A combination of three antibodies, derived from
:20:50. > :20:55.mice and grown in tobacco plants. The aim is that these antibodies
:20:56. > :21:00.latch onto the surface of the virus and neutralise it, or induce the
:21:01. > :21:05.body's immune system to attack it. There have been animal trials
:21:06. > :21:09.involving monkeys which have been partially successful, but no trials
:21:10. > :21:15.involving humans. Three people were given it on compassionate grounds,
:21:16. > :21:21.two US aid workers, they are recovering well. And the Spanish
:21:22. > :21:24.priest, who has died. The World Health Organisation said it is
:21:25. > :21:30.ethical to use provided patients who are offered it are told and give
:21:31. > :21:37.consent. The trouble is, it takes a long time, months, to produce the
:21:38. > :21:42.drug. Perhaps only 20 doses in the world. There are other experimental
:21:43. > :21:45.drugs in development and two prototypes vaccines. But it will be
:21:46. > :21:51.a year before they go into early patient trials.

:22:00. > :22:01.It's one of several whistle-blower allegations that
:22:02. > :22:03.the police watchdog, the IPCC, has been looking into.
:22:04. > :22:19.How serious is this? Very serious allegations against one of the most
:22:20. > :22:29.senior police officers. Criminal investigations could go to Sir Peter
:22:30. > :22:34.Fahy being sacked from his role. It relates to evidence from a

:22:38. > :22:43.allegations against senior officers within the force, including
:22:44. > :22:47.bullying, cronyism. The allegation against Sir Peter Fahy was he was
:22:48. > :22:52.involved in a poorly handled investigation into a suspected sex
:22:53. > :22:56.offender who raped a young boy. We have heard from the Police and Crime
:22:57. > :23:00.Commissioner in Manchester and he explained why he had taken the
:23:01. > :23:07.decision not to suspend Sir Peter Fahy. On the basis of the
:23:08. > :23:12.information provided so far by the IPCC, I have no cause to take action
:23:13. > :23:18.with respect to the Chief Constable. I have asked the IPCC to

:24:14. > :24:16.are due to stage a fly past over the White Cliffs of Dover.
:24:17. > :24:21.They have just taken off from the Headcorn airfield in Kent,
:24:22. > :24:35.-- they will take off. We have come here for a glimpse into the earliest
:24:36. > :24:39.days of military aviation, a time when pilots at to do battle with
:24:40. > :24:48.primitive machines and, crucially, the weather, just as much as with
:24:49. > :24:54.the enemy. Buffeted by the wind, a replica World War I biplane arrives
:24:55. > :25:01.in France. 100 years ago, fragile craft like these future war, the
:25:02. > :25:07.first overseas deployment of the fledgling Royal air flying Corps. In
:25:08. > :25:13.conditions like today, it is like a kite in the wind. It bounces around
:25:14. > :25:18.in the turbulence. It has been a gruelling couple of hours to get
:25:19. > :25:23.here from Northamptonshire. Aircraft with the sensational new technology
:25:24. > :25:29.of the age, when the number two Squadron landed in 1913, planes were
:25:30. > :25:35.mobbed by enthusiasts. This was the first squadron to go abroad, led by
:25:36. > :25:40.Lieutenant who disobeyed orders and took a short cut to touchdown first
:25:41. > :25:48.in a French field. He was killed in 1917. Later, the Royal Flying Corps
:25:49. > :25:51.invented a new form of warfare, the aerial dogfight, with its German
:25:52. > :25:59.equivalents. The job of the early planes was purely reconnaissance.
:26:00. > :26:04.The first that touchdown were like this, BE-2s. Their job was to be the
:26:05. > :26:13.eyes and ears of British expeditionary Force. Their
:26:14. > :26:17.successors in the modern RAF, they do a similar job, but flying
:26:18. > :26:23.tornadoes, 20 times heavier and ten times faster. The aircraft have
:26:24. > :26:27.changed fundamentally, but the mission has not. The mission remains
:26:28. > :26:32.to protect the nation and allies, where ever they are in the world. As
:26:33. > :26:41.for the First World War blades, they were flimsy, primitive and slow. But
:26:42. > :26:46.as they set off for France to BVI in the sky, they showed warfare would
:26:47. > :26:50.never be the same again. The plan today had been to fly this replica
:26:51. > :26:59.aircraft to France and meet up with an RAF Tornado over the White Cliffs
:27:00. > :27:05.of Dover. But it is too windy. This aircraft is not going anywhere and
:27:06. > :27:09.today it will stay here and try again tomorrow. We expect the
:27:10. > :27:12.Tornado to fly pass quickly over our heads in the next few minutes. --
:27:13. > :27:14.fly past. Experts at Edinburgh Zoo believe
:27:15. > :27:17.their female panda is pregnant and could give birth towards
:27:18. > :27:19.the end of the month. If Tian Tian does becomes a mother,
:27:20. > :27:40.it'll be the first time a giant There is much excitement, but is it
:27:41. > :27:44.true? Panda pregnancies are notoriously difficult to monitor.
:27:45. > :27:48.The scientific signs point to the fact that Tian Tian is pregnant and
:27:49. > :27:56.may give birth at the end of the month. If she does, there is the
:27:57. > :28:02.daddy, Yang Guang, and he is oblivious to the interest in his
:28:03. > :28:09.female mate's potential pregnancy. What are they doing? They are
:28:10. > :28:16.monitoring daily her home -- her hormone protein level. She has not
:28:17. > :28:21.had a scan, because she does not like being handled. She is sleeping
:28:22. > :28:26.more and said to be eating less. The zoo hope she is nesting. They could
:28:27. > :28:31.be signs of a false pregnancy. Really, it is the scientific data
:28:32. > :28:37.they are keeping track of most closely. There is already a
:28:38. > :28:42.considerable interest in the animals at the Edinburgh zoo. They attract
:28:43. > :28:47.many hundreds every single day. There is a knot of interest as to
:28:48. > :28:53.whether there will be a baby panda on the way. We will know for certain
:28:54. > :29:00.at the end of this month. Time for a look at the weather.
:29:01. > :29:07.The British Isles weather is still dominated by the remnants of the
:29:08. > :29:12.hurricane. It will continue to bring breezy and showery weather across
:29:13. > :29:20.the British Isles the next 24 hours. Bringing colder air South. And
:29:21. > :29:25.unstable weather overnight tonight passing across central and southern
:29:26. > :29:30.France. Spare a thought if you think the British ours is having it bad,
:29:31. > :29:36.for those further south. For the rest of today, a progressively
:29:37. > :29:40.improved picture on what we had to start the week will stop it will
:29:41. > :29:47.improve further tomorrow. Today, cloudy in the North. Further south,
:29:48. > :29:57.decent spells of sunshine. For the rush-hour in Scotland, it is a grey
:29:58. > :30:01.picture. More persistent rain towards the south. Thicker cloud in
:30:02. > :30:07.Northern Ireland with outbreaks of rain, but they should be showery.
:30:08. > :30:12.Further south in England and Wales, decent spells of sunshine and the
:30:13. > :30:15.best in East Anglia and the south-east, but further west,
:30:16. > :30:25.thundery showers. The breeze will not be as strong as yesterday. This
:30:26. > :30:29.evening, we will see many of the showers dying out. More persistent
:30:30. > :30:34.rain for a while pushing into northern England. What you might
:30:35. > :30:38.notice by the end the night, things are starting to calm down. The area
:30:39. > :30:43.of low pressure is further out and that will make a big difference
:30:44. > :30:50.tomorrow, particularly across Scotland. Lighter winds in general.
:30:51. > :30:57.More and fewer showers. The best improvement will be to central and
:30:58. > :31:02.southern Scotland. Tomorrow, in the sunshine, temperatures up to 19
:31:03. > :31:08.degrees. It is a big leap forward in terms of improvement from today. On
:31:09. > :31:13.Thursday, widespread showers across the British Isles and on Friday,
:31:14. > :31:15.they might then out somewhat. Throughout, breezy, and also
:31:16. > :31:30.starting to feel like autumn. A reminder of the top story. Robin
:31:31. > :31:35.Williams, the American actor and comedian, is found dead at his home
:31:36. > :31:37.in California. It is thought he took his own life.
