:02:22. > :02:29.RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus. We are joining the aircrew on a mission. Under
:02:30. > :02:35.cover of darkness, it is full throttle. At this speed, it is a
:02:36. > :02:41.short flight to the dark skies over Iraq. The crew is piloting what is
:02:42. > :02:48.effectively a flying petrol station. Pretty soon, they are in
:02:49. > :02:52.business. RADIO: We are going to need a left orbit before we go into
:02:53. > :02:57.the air space. Tornado jets emerge from the gloom. They are potent
:02:58. > :03:05.combat aircraft but this is a different role. RADIO: Request, five
:03:06. > :03:10.seconds. Tonight's task is to fly high and fast over the killing
:03:11. > :03:12.fields below. No bombs or bullets but instead, the combat fighters
:03:13. > :03:17.carry state-of-the-art infrared surveillance equipment. They are the
:03:18. > :03:26.eyes and ears of the wider operation. We are looking at fine
:03:27. > :03:30.for another hour or 90 minutes before it comes back. This is a
:03:31. > :03:35.critical operation to relieve the humanitarian issues we have on the
:03:36. > :03:39.ground in Iraq. You know what you are doing is vital work. Very much
:03:40. > :03:44.so. This is the first time in quite awhile we have had that feeling. Are
:03:45. > :03:47.very happy to be here and we see it as a critical part of helping the
:03:48. > :03:52.Iraqi people to alleviate themselves from the issues they have currently.
:03:53. > :03:55.All this is about gathering intelligence, getting the most
:03:56. > :04:00.accurate picture possible of exactly what is happening down the ground.
:04:01. > :04:07.All of it could be vital in planning whatever comes next. For now, the
:04:08. > :04:13.operation to deliver aid is on pause. But it could resume at any

:04:34. > :04:36.Mike Wooldridge has looked at what impact a change of leadership

:04:52. > :04:56.Prime Minister, taking over in the midst of deep political, military
:04:57. > :04:59.and now humanitarian crisis. Some see the survival of Iraq as a
:05:00. > :05:07.country at stake. Will Haider al-Abadi the key to the solution?
:05:08. > :05:11.TRANSLATION: Domestic and international pressures meant Nouri
:05:12. > :05:13.al-Maliki had to step down. We hope that the new designated Prime
:05:14. > :05:23.Minister will correct past mistakes. With Haider al-Abadi by
:05:24. > :05:28.his side, Mr Al-Maliki finally announced his departure, after
:05:29. > :05:32.becoming seen increasingly -- increasingly as a divisive leader
:05:33. > :05:36.with a pro-Shia agenda. Haider al-Abadi is from the same party and
:05:37. > :05:41.his challenges to rebuild trust with the members of the Sunni and Kurdish
:05:42. > :05:44.factions who have felt isolated. And from the Kurdish region, this new
:05:45. > :05:51.appeal for their peshmerga forces to be supplied with weapons to match
:05:52. > :05:54.those of the advancing and heavily armed Islamic State fighters. And
:05:55. > :05:58.for greater support for Iraq as a whole. If there is no support for
:05:59. > :06:03.the whole government, and especially Kurdistan, because if Kurdistan is
:06:04. > :06:09.destabilised by terrorists, and somehow, they occupied the main
:06:10. > :06:16.province in the North, then the whole of Iraq is going to fall into
:06:17. > :06:21.chaos. Today's and scheduled EU Foreign Minister 's meeting on Iraq,
:06:22. > :06:25.considering among other things, the question of arms supplies. France
:06:26. > :06:29.has made an announcement that it is willing to supply arms. The UK has
:06:30. > :06:33.said we will also consider favourably any requests for supplies
:06:34. > :06:36.of arms. Iraq now need to have an inclusive government, representing
:06:37. > :06:43.all the people of Iraq, so we can get behind it and push back this
:06:44. > :06:49.terrible threat from ISIS. Unity on the arms issue may be elusive. But
:06:50. > :06:53.Iraq's new Prime Minister not only enjoy support here. The country's
:06:54. > :06:56.most senior cleric said today that the transition was a rare
:06:57. > :07:01.opportunity to resolve Iraq's political and security problems.
:07:02. > :07:05.Price, who's in Brussels, where the EU foreign ministers are holding
:07:06. > :07:08.that emergency meeting. But first, Yalda Hakim, who's at a refugee camp
:07:09. > :07:23.What kind of stories are you hearing where you are? I am just on the
:07:24. > :07:27.outskirts of Dohuk in a refugee camp. About 15,000 people have fled
:07:28. > :07:31.the fighting. Some of the most desperate people, who have told us
:07:32. > :07:35.they were told to convert or die. The situation for them was really
:07:36. > :07:41.very desperate. Just behind me, a complete tent city. Tractors are
:07:42. > :07:47.making room for more sense to go up. It is relatively peaceful and
:07:48. > :07:49.calm. -- more tempting. The Kurdish governorate are running it and they
:07:50. > :07:54.are saying people are getting enough food and water, as will as managing
:07:55. > :07:57.the humanitarian aid coming from the international community. I saw some
:07:58. > :08:01.people who still don't have a tent. They have made shade from the sides
:08:02. > :08:06.of cars and they were sitting, waiting for a tent to be put up for
:08:07. > :08:08.them. Still a lot of very desperate people but at least better than what
:08:09. > :08:16.they were facing before they came here. Let's go to Brussels. What
:08:17. > :08:23.might we expect to hear from this emergency meeting? Ever since the
:08:24. > :08:27.crisis started in Iraq, it has felt as though Europe has been relatively
:08:28. > :08:30.reluctant to get directly involved. It has made noises about
:08:31. > :08:36.humanitarian aid. But nothing more than that. The sense I get in
:08:37. > :08:40.Brussels is that it is changing. It is worth reminding people that the
:08:41. > :08:46.EU does not have any defence or real foreign policy power in the sense
:08:47. > :08:51.that it cannot say, we are now, as a collective union, sending arms to
:08:52. > :08:57.help the cottage fighters in Iraq. But what the French Foreign Minister
:08:58. > :09:00.-- Kurdish fighters in Iraq. But the French and Minister is pushing for
:09:01. > :09:04.some kind of statement, acknowledging the fact that European
:09:05. > :09:07.countries need not just to supply humanitarian assistance to Iraq, but
:09:08. > :09:12.also military assistance will stop as you saw Philip Hammond, the
:09:13. > :09:14.Foreign Secretary, saying a moment ago, the French have Origi said they
:09:15. > :09:19.are willing to send arms to Iraq and it looks like Britain has followed
:09:20. > :09:24.that and will do so at some point. Even the Germans, the third big
:09:25. > :09:28.power in European Union policy-making, are now indicating
:09:29. > :09:34.they may be inclined to follow suit. There Foreign Minister is going to
:09:35. > :09:37.Iraq this weekend. He has said they will do everything that is
:09:38. > :09:41.politically and legally possible to help the Kurdish forces militarily
:09:42. > :09:48.in their fight against Islamic State. It appears that there is a
:09:49. > :09:51.national push to supply arms to the Kurds, and a European Union level
:09:52. > :09:55.desire to allow it to happen. Thank you for joining us.
:09:56. > :09:57.And for more analysis on the developing situation in Iraq,
:09:58. > :10:03.You can find an interactive guide that explains how militant
:10:04. > :10:11.fighters from the Islamic State have become such a powerful force.
:10:12. > :10:14.The World Health Organisation says there's evidence that the scale of
:10:15. > :10:18.the Ebola outbreak in West Africa may have been vastly underestimated.
:10:19. > :10:21.Just over 1,000 deaths have been recorded out
:10:22. > :10:24.of nearly 2,000 confirmed and suspected cases - making it
:10:25. > :10:33.But the WHO believes that the situation is escalating.
:10:34. > :10:38.With me is our global health correspondent Tulip Mazumder.
:10:39. > :10:45.By how much do they think this may have been underestimated? The world
:10:46. > :10:50.health organisation is not giving figures. It simply does not know.
:10:51. > :10:54.Part of the reason for that is it is a very chaotic picture on the
:10:55. > :10:58.ground. We have heard from one of the key medical charities who are
:10:59. > :11:02.treating people on the ground, Doctors without Borders, in the last
:11:03. > :11:05.hour. I have also been speaking to people on the ground. They are
:11:06. > :11:11.saying that these are very weak health systems and they cannot cope
:11:12. > :11:14.on their own. What we have heard today is that for example, one
:11:15. > :11:19.treatment centre in Liberia has 40 beds and it is treating 140 people.
:11:20. > :11:23.They are queueing outside the treatment centre and the bodies are
:11:24. > :11:27.coming in faster than they can be buried. The way you stop an outbreak
:11:28. > :11:30.and get a sense of how many people are really infected is to find
:11:31. > :11:35.infected people and find out who they have been in close contact
:11:36. > :11:38.with, and follow those people for 21 days. There simply aren't the
:11:39. > :11:42.numbers on the ground required to do that huge work. This is why they
:11:43. > :11:51.don't have a clearer idea. Also, we are still seeing that people are not
:11:52. > :11:53.coming forward to get help because they are so afraid. And a quick
:11:54. > :11:56.thought, a big question but what can they do about this? They have
:11:57. > :11:59.announced today that we now know about 1 million people in the worst
:12:00. > :12:02.affected area, the border between Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea
:12:03. > :12:06.have been put on lockdown. They cannot move freely. The world food
:12:07. > :12:09.programme is bringing in supplies to make sure based a in one place.
:12:10. > :12:14.These are the kind of measures being taken. There are no travel
:12:15. > :12:16.restrictions. The WHO does not recommend them at the moment. And
:12:17. > :12:19.the risk to the UK remains low. The drugs watchdog for the NHS
:12:20. > :12:22.in England is facing criticism for rejecting a treatment
:12:23. > :12:24.for men with prostate cancer. Abiraterone is available
:12:25. > :12:27.post-chemotherapy, but the National Institute for Health
:12:28. > :12:29.and Care Excellence says it's too Our health correspondent
:12:30. > :12:45.Dominic Hughes reports. Mike knows first-hand what a
:12:46. > :12:49.difference Abiraterone can make. Six years ago, he was diagnosed with
:12:50. > :12:53.advanced prostate cancer. He has been taking the drug since March,
:12:54. > :12:57.delaying the moment he has to resort to chemotherapy and the negative
:12:58. > :13:01.impact it will have on his quality-of-life. Abiraterone has
:13:02. > :13:07.allowed me in the recent past to carry on working and living, carry
:13:08. > :13:15.on my family life. It's decreased my PSA levels. It has made things
:13:16. > :13:19.better, and given me some pain relief as well which has also been
:13:20. > :13:24.helpful. Prostate cancer is the most common form of the disease in men.
:13:25. > :13:26.Across the UK, 40,000 men are diagnosed each year. The most
:13:27. > :13:32.aggressive form of the disease claims more than 10,000 lives each
:13:33. > :13:36.year. At more than 250,000 men are currently living with prostate
:13:37. > :13:39.cancer. Abiraterone is already used to treat men after they have had
:13:40. > :13:45.chemotherapy. But the drugs watchdog, Nice, says it is too
:13:46. > :13:50.expensive to prescribe before chemotherapy starts. What we have
:13:51. > :13:54.been looking at is earlier in the condition, where it is used as a
:13:55. > :13:57.means of avoiding chemotherapy. That is clearly very important. But the
:13:58. > :14:03.data we have got does not suggest that using it at that point is going
:14:04. > :14:06.to extend life. Mike was one of around 3000 men to access the drug
:14:07. > :14:10.in the past year through the Cancer Drugs Fund in England. But that is
:14:11. > :14:15.not an option currently open to those in the rest of the UK. The
:14:16. > :14:16.drug 's manufacturer says it is disappointed and will appeal against
:14:17. > :14:18.the decision. BBC News has learned that
:14:19. > :14:21.for the first time, the Metropolitan Police has confirmed the identity
:14:22. > :14:24.of two undercover officers. Both men are accused
:14:25. > :14:26.of deceiving women by having relationships with them, without
:14:27. > :14:29.disclosing their true identity. The Met, which is being sued
:14:30. > :14:33.by the women, denies authorising the relationships - which it claims
:14:34. > :14:37.were based on genuine feelings. Our home affairs correspondent
:14:38. > :14:51.Matt Prodger reports. They were members of a police unit
:14:52. > :14:55.so secret, they are accused of deceiving activists into sexual
:14:56. > :14:58.relationships, and even fathering children with them. Jim Boyling
:14:59. > :15:02.later married and had two children with one of three women he was
:15:03. > :15:06.involved with. Bob Lambert had sexual relationships with free women
:15:07. > :15:12.from environmental and animal rights groups, and a child with a fourth.
:15:13. > :15:16.It was abusive to people. It was damaging. Years later, you was
:15:17. > :15:20.exposed and challenged by the activists he had infiltrated while a
:15:21. > :15:24.member of the undercover special demonstration squad. A court order
:15:25. > :15:26.has forced the Mets to confirm the two men's identities. The force has
:15:27. > :15:38.also offered a defence. It has denied that intimate and
:15:39. > :15:42.sexual Asian ships were started as a deliberate tactic. There was nothing
:15:43. > :15:47.genuine about it. The entire relationship was based on a massive
:15:48. > :15:53.web of lies. They had all the power. That is not love. It is abuse. Helen
:15:54. > :15:57.Steel is an environmentalist, who says she was psychologically scarred
:15:58. > :16:02.after being fooled into a two-year relationship with another undercover
:16:03. > :16:05.officer. Eventually, I found out he had been using their identity of a
:16:06. > :16:10.child that died when they were eight. At that point, my world fell
:16:11. > :16:14.apart. She is one of more than ten women suing the police over the
:16:15. > :16:16.activities of six police spies. Although the Metropolitan Police has
:16:17. > :16:16.been activities of six police spies.
:16:17. > :16:21.Although the Metropolitan forced to confirm the identities of two of
:16:22. > :16:25.them, it is refusing to be drawn on the other four. It says it needs to
:16:26. > :16:35.protect it undercover officers. Campaigners say that if an excuse to
:16:36. > :16:43.hide wrongdoing. Why after all this time has the merit done this? A
:16:44. > :16:48.court told them to. One of the officers has publicly admitted his
:16:49. > :16:55.role. The other, the commissioner himself of the Metropolitan Police
:16:56. > :17:00.three years ago and admitted that he was an undercover officer. This
:17:01. > :17:04.argument the Met had that did not confirm or deny the identity of
:17:05. > :17:10.officers was effectively thrown out by the judge at least in relation to
:17:11. > :17:14.two cases. This is a step forward for these women trying to sue the
:17:15. > :17:20.Metropolitan Police. This has wider background as well. Not just about
:17:21. > :17:24.the tactics that undercover police officers employed but also their
:17:25. > :17:28.targets. Last month it was revealed Scotland Yard had gathered
:17:29. > :17:33.information secretly on 18 people involved in justice campaigns,
:17:34. > :17:39.things like deaths in police custody and holding the police to account.
:17:40. > :17:42.There is the ongoing inquiry which was sparked by claims that the
:17:43. > :17:47.police had spied on the family of Stephen Lawrence. This is not one

:18:46. > :18:50.Moments of silence and protests were held in New York, Chicago,
:18:51. > :18:53.Atlanta and elsewhere, five days after Michael Brown was shot dead.
:18:54. > :18:57.After four nights of violence in Ferguson, Missouri, where
:18:58. > :19:01.the 18-year-old died, state police have now taken charge of security.
:19:02. > :19:04.There's been strong criticism of the way police tried to restore
:19:05. > :19:21.Witnesses claim Michael Brown was shot with his hands up and that is
:19:22. > :19:26.what they have been chanting at protests across the United States.
:19:27. > :19:34.This one in Times Square, others in San Francisco, Dallas and Chicago.
:19:35. > :19:37.Michael Brown, 18, was shot dead by police last Saturday in the small
:19:38. > :19:43.Midwest suburb of Ferguson, Missouri. Exactly what happened was
:19:44. > :19:50.not clear. The police claim one of their officers was assaulted. The
:19:51. > :19:54.teenager's death has provoked several nights of violent
:19:55. > :19:56.confrontation. There has been vandalism and some looting but the
:19:57. > :20:01.police have been criticised for using excessive force. The governor
:20:02. > :20:07.said parts of the state were turning into a war zone. We need to rebuild
:20:08. > :20:14.the trust that has been lost and broken and help the community regain
:20:15. > :20:19.stability. With the world looking on, the police have decided to take
:20:20. > :20:27.a different approach. The boss of the State Highway Patrol is now in
:20:28. > :20:30.charge. He has already been out walking with the protesters,
:20:31. > :20:36.spreading a message that the police are there to serve and protect and
:20:37. > :20:40.not to instil fear. We are a community. We are all in it
:20:41. > :20:45.together. Last night there were more protests, but this time without
:20:46. > :20:52.violence. Anger over Michael Brown's death has not subsided. It
:20:53. > :20:58.is not a black or white thing, it is an everyday thing, people are being
:20:59. > :21:01.killed everyday by authority. The streets maybe, but the mistrust

:22:13. > :22:16.We understand his lawyers have been talking to the police and he has

:22:22. > :22:26.so we are not sure what will happen next in terms of talking to the

:23:15. > :23:19.Some sacks, I do not know what is in them.
:23:20. > :23:22.The one thing that strikes me about these vehicles is how empty
:23:23. > :23:28.There are some boxes there, I do not know what they are,

:25:26. > :25:27.This is not the only Indian supporter who wonders, is there life
:25:28. > :25:31.after Sachin Tendulkar? Without him some of the batsmen
:25:32. > :25:36.seem to be not trying enough? I think his presence makes all
