:00:15. > :00:41.All the hallmarks point to it being genuine, an appalling example of the

:00:42. > :00:42.brutality of this organisation. The Prime Minister has described it as

:00:43. > :00:45.shocking and depraved. We'll be getting

:00:46. > :00:48.the latest live from Downing Street The wife and child of a Hamas

:01:11. > :01:12.North West London Hospitals. And remembering those who died

:01:13. > :01:15.in the Marchioness disaster Good afternoon

:01:16. > :01:40.and welcome to the BBC News at One. Militants from Islamic State have

:01:41. > :01:43.posted a video online which appears to show the beheading of an American

:01:44. > :01:46.journalist, in retaliation, it says, for US airstrikes

:01:47. > :01:50.against its forces in Iraq. He's identified in the recording

:01:51. > :01:53.as James Foley, a 40-year-old photojournalist who was abducted

:01:54. > :01:57.in Syria two years ago. The masked militant in the video

:01:58. > :02:03.appears to have a British accent. The Prime Minister is returning to

:02:04. > :02:05.Downing Street from his holiday to hold emergency

:02:06. > :02:08.meetings on the situation. In a moment we will be joining

:02:09. > :02:11.our correspondents in Downing Street and in Washington, but first, whilst

:02:12. > :02:14.we are not showing the full video - you may find some images from it -

:02:15. > :02:18.in this report from our security correspondent Frank Gardner -

:02:19. > :02:31.distressing. A brave, independent and impartial

:02:32. > :02:36.journalist. The tributes to James Foley have been pouring in from

:02:37. > :02:40.those who knew his work and his generosity of spirit, before he was

:02:41. > :02:47.kidnapped in Syria nearly two years ago. Last night, militants posted a

:02:48. > :02:51.video online, appearing to show him being beheaded by an Islamic State

:02:52. > :02:55.fighter. The video is too graphic for us to show but his apparent

:02:56. > :03:01.murderer speaks with a British accent. As a government, you have

:03:02. > :03:05.been at the forefront of aggression... The video is addressed

:03:06. > :03:11.to President Obama, threatening to kill a second captive is strikes

:03:12. > :03:15.continue. US air power is clearly hurting the Islamic State. Air

:03:16. > :03:21.strikes by jets and unmanned drones have slowed their advance and helped

:03:22. > :03:27.Kurdish and Iraqi forces recaptured the strategic moves all down. But

:03:28. > :03:30.James Foley, seen here earlier reporting from Aleppo, was at

:03:31. > :03:36.hapless victim of the violence sweeping across the region. He was

:03:37. > :03:40.well aware of the dangers, having worked in Libya. There does seem to

:03:41. > :03:46.be a strong sense they will not give up their fight. In November 2012, he

:03:47. > :03:53.was seized by gunmen in Syria. Now his friends' hopes for his eventual

:03:54. > :03:57.release have been all but dashed. James was a true professional. He

:03:58. > :04:02.was really dedicated to journalism. He believed in what he was doing. He

:04:03. > :04:06.would not let anything stop. His mother paid her own tribute to him

:04:07. > :04:11.on Facebook. She said she was proud of her son and he gave his life

:04:12. > :04:15.trying to expose to the world the suffering of the Syrian people.

:04:16. > :04:19.David Cameron is returning to Whitehall today, cutting short his

:04:20. > :04:23.holiday to deal with the fact that a British citizen appears to have

:04:24. > :04:28.murdered an American in the worst possible way. We are absolutely

:04:29. > :04:31.aware that there are significant numbers of British nationals

:04:32. > :04:39.involved in terrible crimes, probably in the commission of

:04:40. > :04:43.atrocities, making jihad with IS and other extremist organisations. This

:04:44. > :04:50.is something we have been tracking and dealing with for many, many

:04:51. > :04:53.months. James Foley's killer will almost certainly be identified. But

:04:54. > :04:56.the chances of bringing him to justice amid all the fighting are

:04:57. > :05:02.very slim. Frank is with me now. This video

:05:03. > :05:06.will be going under intense scrutiny? Yes, it will. I think

:05:07. > :05:11.there is a lot of political pressure to identify this man and try and

:05:12. > :05:17.bring him to justice. President Obama's administration will want

:05:18. > :05:20.some explanation. But in the murky world of counterterrorism and

:05:21. > :05:24.intelligence, this is a case of this is part of an ongoing effort which

:05:25. > :05:28.they have been doing for months to try and identify some of the 500

:05:29. > :05:35.estimated Britons who have won out to Syria. Most of them have gone out

:05:36. > :05:40.to extremist groups. How do they identify them? They have adopted

:05:41. > :05:41.names, Abu this, Abu that. A lot of them post on Facebook.

:05:42. > :05:44.names, Abu this, Abu that. A lot of them post on They identify

:05:45. > :05:49.themselves on Twitter and other social media. When they come back to

:05:50. > :05:56.this country, many of them will stay out there and get killed. There will

:05:57. > :06:01.be an intense effort to try and identify who this man is and to try

:06:02. > :06:05.and bring him to justice. In northern Iraq and northern Syria, it

:06:06. > :06:10.will be very difficult to find him. Thank you.

:06:11. > :06:14.In a moment, we will speak to our correspondent in Washington. First,

:06:15. > :06:17.Carole Walker is in Downing Street. The possible involvement of a

:06:18. > :06:23.British citizen has brought the Prime Minister out of holiday and

:06:24. > :06:27.back to Downing Street. Yes, he is due back here shortly, clearly aware

:06:28. > :06:31.of the impact this video will have had and the concerns it will have

:06:32. > :06:34.raised among many people and the need to refocus the government

:06:35. > :06:41.response to this crisis. Until now it has all been about the

:06:42. > :06:45.humanitarian problems, what can be done to protect the refugees in the

:06:46. > :06:49.area and to get relief supplies through to those who have been

:06:50. > :06:53.forced to flee their homes. Now the real priority will be to try and

:06:54. > :06:58.establish more about the identity of who may have been involved in this

:06:59. > :07:02.video, which the Prime Minister has described as shocking and depraved.

:07:03. > :07:05.It underlines what the Prime Minister and others have been

:07:06. > :07:10.saying, about the dangers of British fighters involved in this. Clearly

:07:11. > :07:15.this is not something so ministers have been telling us, that can be

:07:16. > :07:19.ignored. If people are involved in these kind of appalling acts out in

:07:20. > :07:23.Iraq and Syria, then clearly there is the potential that that threat

:07:24. > :07:26.could be brought back onto the streets of Britain. The Prime

:07:27. > :07:30.Minister will be talking not just to the Foreign Secretary, home

:07:31. > :07:34.officials -- Home Office officials and other intelligence, there will

:07:35. > :07:39.be clearly a song with the United States as he seeks to take personal

:07:40. > :07:42.charge of the government's response here and try and offer what

:07:43. > :07:47.reassurance he can to the British public, but the government is doing

:07:48. > :07:51.all it can to counter the security threat. Thank you. We can go to

:07:52. > :07:57.Washington now. The sense of shock and revulsion and

:07:58. > :08:02.also a dignified response from James Foley's family. Yes, that is right.

:08:03. > :08:06.They said how proud they were of their son trying to expose the

:08:07. > :08:14.suffering of the Syrian people to the world. And also appealing for

:08:15. > :08:17.the release of the other journalist who was pictured in the video. As

:08:18. > :08:21.America wakes up to the enormity of this tragedy, a lot of attention is

:08:22. > :08:26.now turning to the safety of the other journalists who are being

:08:27. > :08:33.helped by this group. At least three other unknown to be captives, not

:08:34. > :08:37.necessarily of Islamic State but have been missing for some years and

:08:38. > :08:42.there is some concern about what America's response should be. The

:08:43. > :08:46.morning network shows were talking about whether this beheading should

:08:47. > :08:50.have any impact on American foreign policy in Iraq and Syria and what

:08:51. > :08:55.the response should be. We are still waiting for it to be authenticated

:08:56. > :08:59.and until that happens, there will be no statement from President

:09:00. > :09:03.Obama. Once the official word is given, then we can expect some kind

:09:04. > :09:09.of formal response. Thank you both very much.

:09:10. > :09:11.The Israeli military has carried out sixty air strikes in Gaza

:09:12. > :09:14.after accusing the Palestinians of firing more than 80 rockets

:09:15. > :09:16.into Israel since the temporary ceasefire collapsed yesterday.

:09:17. > :09:19.Officials in Gaza say at least ten Palestinians, including the wife and

:09:20. > :09:22.baby daughter of a senior military commander of Hamas, have been killed

:09:23. > :09:36.Our Middle East correspondent Yolande Knell reports from Gaza.

:09:37. > :09:44.Gaza city darkened by a power cut. But then the flash of an Israeli air

:09:45. > :09:48.strike. This morning, the clean-up and the grim search for bodies.

:09:49. > :09:55.Palestinians hoped they had seen the last of scenes like this. Bulldozers

:09:56. > :10:01.are directed as armed Hamas policeman keep watch. This is a

:10:02. > :10:04.sensitive site. We now know that this big pile of rubble behind me

:10:05. > :10:09.was a house that belonged to relatives of the top military

:10:10. > :10:17.commander hammered macro. His wife and baby child are said to be among

:10:18. > :10:23.those killed here. -- Mohammed Deif. There was a response from Hamas

:10:24. > :10:33.militants. Overnight, rockets were fired towards Jerusalem. Residents

:10:34. > :10:37.comforted each other. All of this has thrown Egypt's efforts to broker

:10:38. > :10:46.the longer term cease-fire into jeopardy. TRANSLATION: We consider

:10:47. > :10:50.the negotiations to be over. When the Egyptian moderators see the time

:10:51. > :10:55.is right to resume negotiations, after receiving a response to our

:10:56. > :11:00.proposal, we are ready to return. For now, Israel is recalling 2000

:11:01. > :11:05.reserve soldiers who had been sent home. Hardliners in the cabinet want

:11:06. > :11:13.a wider operation against Hamas. We have to fight it and it takes

:11:14. > :11:16.patience. The Second World War went on for six years. We have to

:11:17. > :11:24.persevere and beat this group of evil terrorists. Back in Das there

:11:25. > :11:29.is concern that there could be a further escalation of violence --

:11:30. > :11:31.back in Gaza. Just at a time when many had been looking to rebuild

:11:32. > :11:36.their lives. Two members of the Bank of England's

:11:37. > :11:39.Monetary Policy Committee voted to raise interest rates in August,

:11:40. > :11:42.the first time in three years that It means the nine-member MPC voted 7

:11:43. > :11:46.to 2 to hold interest rates Our Business Editor Kamal

:11:47. > :11:59.Ahmed is with me now. Very few people could name all

:12:00. > :12:05.members of the MPC. How significant is this? Not since 2011 has anybody

:12:06. > :12:08.on the Monetary Policy Committee voted for an interest rate rise.

:12:09. > :12:15.Interest rates have been at historic lows, 0.5%, for many, many years.

:12:16. > :12:19.This is a signal. I have actually brought along the minutes of the

:12:20. > :12:24.meeting to say why is it that these two people on the Monetary Policy

:12:25. > :12:33.Committee voted for a rise at this stage. They say the fall in

:12:34. > :12:38.unemployment has been rapid. That wage growth could pick up and if we

:12:39. > :12:41.move now, it means we will not need more rapid rises in the future. The

:12:42. > :12:44.key question is, will anyone else join them? It is still seven to two

:12:45. > :12:48.against so interest rates are not rising in the immediate future. I

:12:49. > :12:51.think if we look at the figures we saw yesterday about inflation

:12:52. > :12:57.falling, that suggests that interest rates will not rise fray quickly.

:12:58. > :13:01.The other issue is, as we all know, real incomes are still going down. I

:13:02. > :13:08.think until we get to that stage, the governor of England wants to see

:13:09. > :13:12.escape full city in the economy. I do not believe he feels that he has

:13:13. > :13:14.got to that. Economists are saying no interest rate rise until spring

:13:15. > :13:20.of next year. Thank you. A new crime of domestic abuse could

:13:21. > :13:24.be created in England and Wales. The Home Secretary, Theresa May,

:13:25. > :13:26.has launched a consultation to look at whether a new law is needed to

:13:27. > :13:30.protect people whose partners cause them emotional and psychological

:13:31. > :13:32.harm - but there are questions Here's our legal affairs

:13:33. > :13:51.correspondent, Clive Coleman. Can't you do anything right? You are

:13:52. > :13:57.useless! Terrifying abuse reflected here in a police video. Every 30

:13:58. > :14:03.seconds, police in England and Wales receive a call on domestic violence.

:14:04. > :14:08.But domestic abuse can also take the form of cruel psychological harm.

:14:09. > :14:14.Carroll, not her real name, lived with a man who for years

:14:15. > :14:20.psychologically abused her. Her words are read by a voice of a BBC

:14:21. > :14:23.producer. Everything was monitored. If I needed to go to the supermarket

:14:24. > :14:28.he would check the mileage on the car to check how far I went, even

:14:29. > :14:33.standing outside the house to see which way I had driven when I left.

:14:34. > :14:45.Now the government is consulting on whether to make domestic abuse a

:14:46. > :14:50.separate criminal offence, focusing on psychological as well as physical

:14:51. > :14:52.abuse. We do not think at the moment that police are taking seriously the

:14:53. > :14:55.issue of coercive control and repeated nonphysical abuse which is

:14:56. > :14:59.why I think it is right to consult on this to make sure the public at

:15:00. > :15:00.large is in no doubt that firstly the government takes this matter

:15:01. > :15:04.seriously, and secondly nonphysical abuse can be just as debilitating as

:15:05. > :15:10.physical abuse. The government argues that those found guilty of

:15:11. > :15:17.coercive behaviour can be prosecuted in the courts for offences of

:15:18. > :15:25.stalking and harassment. But that does not apply specifically to the

:15:26. > :15:30.partner so this new criminal offence would end the ambiguity. Some people

:15:31. > :15:34.are not convinced. If the government are concerned about domestic abuse,

:15:35. > :15:38.they should really put resources into training police or training

:15:39. > :15:44.prosecutors. If they really do think that victims' voices are not heard,

:15:45. > :15:48.that would be a far better use of their resources. The eight-week

:15:49. > :15:51.consultation will now consider whether the current law on domestic

:15:52. > :15:54.abuse is fit for purpose. Islamic State militants release

:15:55. > :16:10.a video online believed to show Coming up: The new rules which mean

:16:22. > :16:33.Police in the US state of Missouri say they arrested 47 demonstrators

:16:34. > :16:38.They were part of a largely peaceful protest

:16:39. > :16:40.following the shooting dead by police of an unarmed black teenager

:16:41. > :16:47.Another young black man - said to be posing a threat -

:17:15. > :17:17.Armed officers were on every corner, initially at a distance.

:17:32. > :17:40.As you can see, we have been told to move by police.

:17:41. > :17:42.They said "Media, get out of the way".

:17:43. > :17:50.I am not sure where they are taking us, but what began as a peaceful

:17:51. > :18:02.Protest crowds were a bit smaller, and they were out earlier.

:18:03. > :18:06.We had to respond to fewer incidents than the night before.

:18:07. > :18:09.There were no Molotov cocktails tonight.

:18:10. > :18:13.It was the death of an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown, who was

:18:14. > :18:16.shot by a white police officer, which sparked protests in this town.

:19:34. > :19:36.Our Tokyo correspondent Rupert Wingfield Hayes reports.

:19:37. > :19:39.Yesterday, this was a neat and tidy neighbourhood of northern Hiroshima.

:19:40. > :19:42.Today, it is a mangled heap of smashed houses and overturned cars.

:19:43. > :19:49.The torrential rain that caused all this began shortly after midnight.

:19:50. > :19:51.Within three hours, nearly 25 centimetres of rain had

:20:02. > :20:06.about it was when the mud started coming into their homes.

:20:07. > :20:09.All we could do was get the family together and get out, says this

:20:10. > :20:13.woman, as the flow of mud coming into the house was quite strong.

:20:14. > :20:15.When I realised what was happening, says this man,

:20:16. > :20:18.there was mud flowing around and cars were being washed away.

:20:19. > :20:23.Then everything started sliding away.

:20:24. > :20:26.Japan is a very mountainous country, and landslides here are not

:20:27. > :20:34.uncommon. A very similar event killed 32

:20:35. > :20:37.people on an island south of Tokyo last August.

:20:38. > :20:39.But these events are becoming more common and more deadly.

:20:40. > :20:43.In the 1990s, there were an average of 770 landslides a year in Japan.

:20:44. > :20:48.In the last decade, that number has nearly doubled to 1200 year.

:21:15. > :21:17.The Liberal Democrats have dropped disciplinary proceedings

:21:18. > :21:19.against their former chief executive, Lord Rennard.

:21:20. > :21:21.He was being investigated after failing to fully apologise

:21:22. > :21:26.His suspension from the party has also been lifted.

:21:27. > :21:46.Our political correspondent Arif Ansari is in Westminster.

:21:47. > :21:55.Executive is this the end of it? Probably. But these claims came from

:21:56. > :21:59.four women last year. They said Lord Rennard was responsible for sexual

:22:00. > :22:03.harassment, something they wanted sorted out. So a barrister was

:22:04. > :22:06.appointed. That barrister came to the conclusion that the women were

:22:07. > :22:13.broadly credible, but that they could not be proved young reasonable

:22:14. > :22:15.doubt. So what happened then was a disciplinary enquiry, largely

:22:16. > :22:19.because Lord Rennard failed to apologise. I think ultimately, the

:22:20. > :22:24.party has simply come to the conclusion that they are not going

:22:25. > :22:28.to be able to resolve this matter to the satisfaction of most people. So

:22:29. > :22:34.what they have ultimately done is tried to draw a line under it. It is

:22:35. > :22:38.not really going to work. Of the four women themselves, three have

:22:39. > :22:41.left the party. One described this as simply being fudge have to fudge.

:22:42. > :22:49.But ultimately, I think the leadership realises that they were

:22:50. > :22:59.not going to be able to get any kind of consensual end to this saga. They

:23:00. > :23:00.have drawn a line under it, but it is not a line that is going to

:23:14. > :23:16.for private hospitals to release the same amounts

:23:34. > :23:35.private hospital under medical insurance, but complications made

:23:36. > :23:41.him weak and he needed follow-up surgery. I lost two and a half stone

:23:42. > :23:49.in weight during that time, because I was not able to eat. Or sleep. I

:23:50. > :23:54.have been able to do some cycling and some walking. For a few months,

:23:55. > :23:58.I couldn't do anything like that. Today's report says patients need

:23:59. > :24:04.better information about safety in private hospitals. They treat more

:24:05. > :24:09.than a million patients a year, including 400,000 who are funded by

:24:10. > :24:13.the NHS in England. But it is not yet possible to compare data for

:24:14. > :24:17.death rates or complications between different NHS and independent

:24:18. > :24:26.hospices. The basic necessity is to make all hospitals report the same

:24:27. > :24:35.data so that they can be compared with each other and so that the data

:24:36. > :24:44.can be analysed and where it shows where problems are, the problems can

:24:45. > :24:45.be fixed. Patients' charity said people need the fullest information

:24:46. > :24:46.about the hospital, wherever they are being treated. The private

:24:47. > :24:47.sector says it is putting better systems in place. We already have

:24:48. > :24:48.more information than was previously available, and in the next two

:24:49. > :24:55.years, patients will start to see on our website information that is

:25:25. > :25:26.Wars. Many of them are now only in the sky because their owners spend

:25:27. > :25:32.huge sums of money, often going into debt to fund the flying. Now this

:26:56. > :27:01.the CAA is looking at new rules so that owners can charge more, as long

:27:02. > :27:04.as they are clear about the risks. This really is a piece of living,

:27:08. > :27:10.like this rely on individuals investing hundreds of thousands

:27:11. > :27:13.of pounds of their own money. So without help,

:27:14. > :27:17.many could be lost to the skies. A lot of vintage aeroplanes

:27:33. > :27:42.the difference to people like that. The regulator is hoping to make

:27:43. > :27:46.changes by the end of the year. It should help ensure these

:28:20. > :28:23.sunshine today in Lincolnshire, but we have the showers in Lancaster

:28:24. > :28:26.today. The weather today is rose to what we had yesterday. A scattering

:28:27. > :28:33.of showers, not as many as yesterday. This lovely picture was

:28:34. > :28:38.taken near Castleton. The rainbow is because we had shower clouds across

:28:39. > :28:40.this part of the country. From the word go today my across parts of

:28:41. > :28:44.Wales as well. We still have the cool air across us

:28:45. > :28:53.and we are seeing a few We still have the cool air across us

:28:54. > :28:59.and showers around. We still have some showers in Wales. But more

:29:00. > :29:03.places will be becoming dry, with more sunshine arriving. A similar

:29:04. > :29:06.story across the north-west of England as well. A little sunshine

:29:07. > :29:11.later in the day, but increasing amounts of cloud coming from the

:29:12. > :29:15.north-west and turning wetter in the north-west of Scotland. A poor day

:29:16. > :29:21.in Inverness. Some brighter skies further south, and showers over the

:29:22. > :29:31.east of the Pennines, possibly arriving in Lincolnshire later this

:29:32. > :29:35.afternoon. Some heavy showers across eastern areas of England this

:29:36. > :29:41.evening. Those will pull away with. We will have clearer skies further

:29:42. > :29:46.south. Much more cloud pushing into Scotland and Northern Ireland. Here,

:29:47. > :30:02.it will not be as cold as last night. A bright start in the East

:30:03. > :30:09.tomorrow. There will be a loss of cloud further north. It is going to

:30:10. > :30:12.be driest, brightest and warmest in the south-east of England. But here

:30:13. > :30:16.on Friday, we could start with quite a few heavy downpours. Those will

:30:17. > :30:20.pull through and then the direction changes. We are back into that

:30:21. > :30:23.Chile, north-westerly breeze that will bring us this mixture of

:30:24. > :30:31.sunshine and a scattering of showers. That is probably how we

:30:32. > :30:34.will start the weekend on Saturday. The wind may kill off the showers.

:30:35. > :30:38.Could be really cold on Saturday night, but as we head into Sunday,

:30:39. > :30:41.many of us will enjoy sunshine for some of the day, but then this

:30:42. > :30:46.weather front brings rain into the north-west. That will change the

:30:47. > :30:51.wind direction, lifting temperatures of the weekend goes on, but by

:30:52. > :30:55.Monday, there will be rain around as well.
