:03:20. > :03:27.details on all options before deciding whether to step up
:03:28. > :03:32.Britain's involvement still further. With every image and every passing
:03:33. > :03:34.day, the potential scale of the humanitarian disaster unfolding in
:03:35. > :03:42.northern Iraq is becoming more apparent. For the most innocent, it
:03:43. > :03:46.has been a frightening, gruelling and painful flight from the fighters
:03:47. > :03:50.of the Islamic State. At this camp in the Kurdish area of neighbouring
:03:51. > :03:55.Syria, they are doing what they can. For those who now have nothing,
:03:56. > :04:00.picking through the clothes donated by locals is something but much more
:04:01. > :04:03.is needed. The situation in the camp is kind of primitive, we are trying
:04:04. > :04:12.to improve it to make it better, to increase the number of tents, lots
:04:13. > :04:16.of people do not have a tent. We are doing our best to upgrade the
:04:17. > :04:22.standard of the camp so it is at least regaining their dignity. And
:04:23. > :04:30.some more relief from the air, a third wave of British airdrops of
:04:31. > :04:34.shelter kits to those trapped and exposed to the heat on Mount Sinjar.

:05:04. > :05:07.130 personnel to the city of Irbil, to assess in depth what more needs
:05:08. > :05:11.to be done. As the president has made very clear, we are not going
:05:12. > :05:20.back into Iraq in any of the same combat mission dimensions that we
:05:21. > :05:28.once were in. Very specifically, this is not a combat boots on the
:05:29. > :05:31.ground operation. In the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, further unease

:05:45. > :05:48.al-Maliki, is -- have also been on the streets as a message of defiance
:05:49. > :05:51.was issued. That will surely fuelled doubts that Iraqis can unite to take
:05:52. > :05:55.on the militants. Our world affairs correspondent,
:05:56. > :06:04.Rami Ruhayem, is in Irbil. Many dimensions to this affair, but
:06:05. > :06:14.what is the situation of the refugees trapped on the mountain? It
:06:15. > :06:18.must be a very difficult situation. Judging only by the weather, you can
:06:19. > :06:22.only imagine how difficult it is for those without water. Until the
:06:23. > :06:27.airdrops reach them, we donor how many people are trapped in the
:06:28. > :06:31.mountain -- don't know how many. We don't know how many have access to
:06:32. > :06:40.the attempts to drop supplies and relief from the air. We heard that a
:06:41. > :06:48.force from the militia has arrived in the mountain, it is not clear
:06:49. > :06:52.what they intend to do. Islamic State fighters arrived by
:06:53. > :06:56.helicopter, they probably want to secure the operation and also
:06:57. > :07:02.measure the situation and understand better what is going on, and how
:07:03. > :07:05.many people are... We seem to have lost the line.
:07:06. > :07:10.With me now is Jonathan Beale, our defence correspondent.
:07:11. > :07:19.What exactly is Britain's role? Purely humanitarian or shading into
:07:20. > :07:20.something else customer the government insists this is a
:07:21. > :07:40.humanitarian mission. also June Kelly copters. You only
:07:41. > :07:48.use those for inserting troops or extracting people -- also chew --
:07:49. > :08:00.we have transport from third countries to the Kurdish people, the
:08:01. > :08:05.Kurdish forces. You can see more deep involvement, the government can
:08:06. > :08:09.still say this is a humanitarian mission but the door is open to do
:08:10. > :08:15.more. If the government does decide to carry out air strikes, as the
:08:16. > :08:18.Kurds would like Britain to do, or to directly supply weapons, as
:08:19. > :08:21.France is now doing, you would see the pressure growing on David
:08:22. > :08:24.Cameron to recall Parliament. Unemployment has fallen to
:08:25. > :08:30.its lowest level since 2008. Figures from the Office for National
:08:31. > :08:32.Statistics show 2.08 million people were out of work in the three months
:08:33. > :08:36.to June - that's 132,000 fewer than But, average earnings in the year
:08:37. > :08:45.to June also fell, by 0.2%. The jobless total has come down at
:08:46. > :08:48.its fastest rate for a quarter of a century. The rise in average
:08:49. > :08:53.earnings is still trailing well behind inflation. Excluding bonuses,
:08:54. > :08:54.wages were 0.6% higher than a year ago.
:08:55. > :08:58.Our business correspondent Simon Gompertz reports.
:08:59. > :09:05.It is a recovery but not as we have known them before. More jobs but
:09:06. > :09:09.still frustration in Manchester and elsewhere on getting an increase in
:09:10. > :09:13.pay. I am quite lucky, I have a good salary but I have had that for a
:09:14. > :09:17.long time. It has not gone up in recent years. I would not say they
:09:18. > :09:22.have gone up in comparison to the cost of living. When we have asked
:09:23. > :09:28.the boss recently about a rise this year, he said all rises are on hold
:09:29. > :09:34.this year. Unemployment is down again by 132,000 in April to June
:09:35. > :09:37.compared to the three months before, the total dropping closer to 2
:09:38. > :09:46.million. But wages are virtually stuck. Basic pay is up I just 0.6%
:09:47. > :09:53.year-on-year, the slowest for 13 years. Bonuses were unusually high a
:09:54. > :09:58.year ago so including them, they were down by 0.2%. Here is a company
:09:59. > :10:05.delivering more jobs, Hermes parcel service. By using independent
:10:06. > :10:10.careers it is part of the boom in self-employed working, so managers
:10:11. > :10:15.can worry less about wage rises. We have grown 15 to 20% year-on-year,
:10:16. > :10:19.it means more income for couriers who negotiate their own rate of
:10:20. > :10:26.pay, and if they don't like it they will not take on the work. So --
:10:27. > :10:30.sluggish rises are influencing the governor of the bank of an, Mark
:10:31. > :10:37.Carney, and the bank's decision on when to put up interest rates -- the
:10:38. > :10:44.Governor of the Bank of England. Now is not the time, given the degree of
:10:45. > :10:51.slack, given the weakness of wages, and given the start of some of the
:10:52. > :10:56.recovery of productivity. There is a recovery, more jobs, that means the
:10:57. > :10:59.Bank of England will raise interest rates, which were kept so low to
:11:00. > :11:05.help homeowners and businesses through the hard years. Today's news
:11:06. > :11:09.about wage is going up so slowly can put a question over when the rate
:11:10. > :11:15.increase will come. I can't see a rise this year. The governor was
:11:16. > :11:19.clear there is a lot of geopolitical risk, I think we are looking at a
:11:20. > :11:25.rate rise towards the start of next year. For now, what we are getting
:11:26. > :11:33.from the upturn is more work, and that is welcome, but not much more
:11:34. > :11:38.in the pay packet. Simon is with me now, there are more
:11:39. > :11:44.jobs but wages are stagnant, what is going on? Ministers will say there
:11:45. > :11:47.are 200,000 more young people in work if you compare now to a year
:11:48. > :11:51.ago. Young people tend to start on lower wages and that has brought
:11:52. > :11:58.down the average rate of increase. Another factor is older people
:11:59. > :12:02.staying in the workplace, not retiring so soon. If you are an
:12:03. > :12:06.employer, it gives you more choice. You can say, I don't have to pay so
:12:07. > :12:11.much to get hold of the staff I would like to have. Looking at the
:12:12. > :12:13.question over interest rates, you heard the suggestion that an
:12:14. > :12:19.interest rate increase might not come until next year, a lot of
:12:20. > :12:22.people might be worried about that. Their mortgages. Some might be
:12:23. > :12:27.looking forward to it if they are savers. What the governor of the
:12:28. > :12:32.Bank of England did say is that any increase would be gradual and
:12:33. > :12:34.limited. Don't expect fireworks, don't suddenly expect to get a large
:12:35. > :12:37.extra mortgage bill. Five French climbers have been found

:14:41. > :14:45.was already very ill with the Ebola virus. The problem is the people who
:14:46. > :14:50.helped him at the airport and the health workers initially did not
:14:51. > :14:54.know he had the virus. The challenge is making sure all the people who

:23:18. > :23:23.the work being done to revisited those who once served their country.
:23:24. > :23:28.Like the humans she was once deployed alongside, this fire and
:23:29. > :23:32.protection dog was deployed in Afghanistan and is the mascot for a
:23:33. > :23:35.British team engaged in the hunt for medals.
:23:36. > :23:38.Great Britains's Jo Pavey has become the oldest female gold medallist
:23:39. > :23:40.in the history of the European Athletics Championships.
:23:41. > :23:47.Last night the 40-year-old mother of two won the 10,000 metres in Zurich.
:23:48. > :23:55.Come on, Jo Pavey! Away she goes. A glorious run for Jo Pavey. Her whole
:23:56. > :24:02.career has been about this moment. It is the gold medal, she is the
:24:03. > :24:06.champion. It is funny to try for so many years and do it when I'm 40. I
:24:07. > :24:09.should have learned a few things along time ago!
:24:10. > :24:11.The voice of BBC commentator Steve Cram there.
:24:12. > :24:14.Well, a few minutes ago, I spoke to Steve and asked him
:24:15. > :24:26.Well Jo Pavey has been great athlete since she was a youngster. She won a
:24:27. > :24:31.schools title and we will have watched her develop. She's had some
:24:32. > :24:36.great days in her career. With female distance runners, they just
:24:37. > :24:40.at times seem to get better with age. The thing is keeping clear of
:24:41. > :24:45.injury and keeping the motivation. And the big change for her is what
:24:46. > :24:49.has happened in her personal life, the family bed you saw here last
:24:50. > :24:53.night, her children, that has given her a slightly different
:24:54. > :24:58.perspective. And as she says she has learnt a lot about herself in the
:24:59. > :25:02.past five years. So to keep training and competing at this level is
:25:03. > :25:06.incredible at the age of 40. And at the beginning of the year I do not
:25:07. > :25:10.think anyone including Jo Pavey would've thought she could come to
:25:11. > :25:15.two major championships and win a medal in the 5000 metres and then
:25:16. > :25:18.come here to Europe and be the oldest medallist we have ever seen
:25:19. > :25:24.at the European Championships in the women's event. She has never won a
:25:25. > :25:28.gold medal in her whole career so that capped off what would have been
:25:29. > :25:31.a great night for everyone and certainly for the British team. And
:25:32. > :25:36.we will see her again in the 5000 metres.
:25:37. > :25:38.Lauren Bacall, the Hollywood screen legend, has died aged 89.
:25:39. > :25:42.Born Betty Joan Perske in New York in 1924, she made her screen debut
:25:43. > :25:45.at the age of 19 opposite her future husband Humphrey Bogart
:25:46. > :25:49.She won an honorary Academy Award in 2009 in recognition of
:25:50. > :25:52."her central place in the golden age of motion pictures".
:25:53. > :26:00.David Sillito looks back at her career.
:26:01. > :26:17.Rarely has an actors made such an impact on her first appearance. She
:26:18. > :26:26.was wise the -- beyond her years but she had that look of a woman totally
:26:27. > :26:30.in control. But looks can deceive. I was really nervous. I had no
:26:31. > :26:35.confidence in myself. My head would shake and the only way to keep it
:26:36. > :26:41.still would be to hold my head down and look up. She fell in love with
:26:42. > :26:51.Humphrey Bogart, they married and made three more films together. This
:26:52. > :26:57.was perhaps the best. Who is this? This is not a police station. Look,
:26:58. > :27:05.this is not a police station. They had 11 happy years together for
:27:06. > :27:12.Bogart's death from cancer. Born Betty Joan Perske, she was inspired
:27:13. > :27:15.by Betty Davis. One critic said her voice sounded as if she had been
:27:16. > :27:21.smoked in vodka. She exuded confidence. I looked on as a woman
:27:22. > :27:27.in total control of every situation. Just like those parts
:27:28. > :27:31.that I played. As we all know, no one is that sure of themselves. And
:27:32. > :27:37.if they are I do not want to meet them. And it was a role that her
:27:38. > :27:43.hero Betty Davis once played that brought a Tony award. It was just in
:27:44. > :27:51.1997 that she got her first Oscar nomination. I will have your birth
:27:52. > :27:58.certificate blown up as a Christmas card!
:27:59. > :28:11.12 years later, in an honorary Oscar. At last! This is quite an
:28:12. > :28:16.event, I must say. It is something I never expected. I was in shock when
:28:17. > :28:23.I got the call and the shock has not one of I have to say. She was a star
:28:24. > :28:30.of the Golden age in Hollywood. Moving moments do not get much more
:28:31. > :28:32.memorable than this. You know to whistle? Just put your lips together
:28:33. > :28:46.and low. -- low. Now a look at the weather with Chris
:28:47. > :28:55.Fawkes. The satellite picture shows an area
:28:56. > :29:06.of low pressure today. Charlotte clouds already sweeping in. The
:29:07. > :29:11.showers are spreading east and will turn heavy for a time across
:29:12. > :29:15.Hampshire and into East and West Sussex and Kent. Showers possible in
:29:16. > :29:23.London but they will be fleeting. That is generally true of the
:29:24. > :29:25.showers in England and Wales. There should be fewer showers for Northern
:29:26. > :29:29.Ireland for a time this afternoon and for south-west Scotland. But the
:29:30. > :29:35.North of Scotland could have some coming and going through the rest of
:29:36. > :29:40.the afternoon. As for temperatures we have highs just below par for the
:29:41. > :29:45.time of year. And then overnight showers are more widespread across
:29:46. > :29:51.Northern Ireland and coming into Wales overnight. Across more inland
:29:52. > :29:56.parts of East Wales and England whether it should become largely
:29:57. > :30:01.dry. Temperatures around 14 degrees in towns and cities but just 8
:30:02. > :30:05.degrees in rural parts. On Thursday the wind again coming from a
:30:06. > :30:10.northerly direction. That pattern stays with us really through the
:30:11. > :30:18.rest of the month. We're looking at further showers, most widespread
:30:19. > :30:21.across Wales. They swing to the South East of England as we head
:30:22. > :30:26.into the afternoon. In the wettest areas we could see up to 20
:30:27. > :30:30.millimetres of rain. But across Northern Ireland and South West of
:30:31. > :30:34.Scotland, fewer showers here and a better chance of keeping some dry
:30:35. > :30:39.weather. And it becomes drier as we head through Friday as pressure
:30:40. > :30:43.begins to build. Still just some showers left here and there. And
:30:44. > :30:47.temperatures just below par for the time of year. But whether it is
:30:48. > :30:54.looks promising for the fifth test match at England take on India.
:30:55. > :30:59.Looks like there will be showers later on in the test match. Into the
:31:00. > :31:02.weekend, a lot of dry weather and round on Saturday but Sunday sees
:31:03. > :31:07.return of the North Westerly wind. And further showers widely across
:31:08. > :31:13.the British Isles. No return of the summer heat that we have had in June
:31:14. > :31:14.and July any time soon. The rest of August probably staying showery with
:31:15. > :31:18.a wind. Now a reminder of our top story this
:31:19. > :31:21.lunchtime. David Cameron is back from holiday
:31:22. > :31:23.and chairing a meeting of the government's emergency committee
:31:24. > :31:33.to discuss the crisis in Iraq.
