Islamic State militants release a video online believed to show | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
James Foley was kidnapped in Syria two years ago - the militant in the | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
All the hallmarks point to it being genuine, an appalling example of the | :00:15. | :00:41. | |
brutality of this organisation. The Prime Minister has described it as | :00:42. | :00:42. | |
shocking and depraved. We'll be getting | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
the latest live from Downing Street The wife and child of a Hamas | :00:46. | :00:48. | |

North West London Hospitals. And remembering those who died | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
in the Marchioness disaster Good afternoon | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
and welcome to the BBC News at One. Militants from Islamic State have | :01:16. | :01:40. | |
posted a video online which appears to show the beheading of an American | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
journalist, in retaliation, it says, for US airstrikes | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
against its forces in Iraq. He's identified in the recording | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
as James Foley, a 40-year-old photojournalist who was abducted | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
in Syria two years ago. The masked militant in the video | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
appears to have a British accent. The Prime Minister is returning to | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
Downing Street from his holiday to hold emergency | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
meetings on the situation. In a moment we will be joining | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
our correspondents in Downing Street and in Washington, but first, whilst | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
we are not showing the full video - you may find some images from it - | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
in this report from our security correspondent Frank Gardner - | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
distressing. A brave, independent and impartial | :02:19. | :02:31. | |
journalist. The tributes to James Foley have been pouring in from | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
those who knew his work and his generosity of spirit, before he was | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
kidnapped in Syria nearly two years ago. Last night, militants posted a | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
video online, appearing to show him being beheaded by an Islamic State | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
fighter. The video is too graphic for us to show but his apparent | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
murderer speaks with a British accent. As a government, you have | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
been at the forefront of aggression... The video is addressed | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
to President Obama, threatening to kill a second captive is strikes | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
continue. US air power is clearly hurting the Islamic State. Air | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
strikes by jets and unmanned drones have slowed their advance and helped | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
Kurdish and Iraqi forces recaptured the strategic moves all down. But | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
James Foley, seen here earlier reporting from Aleppo, was at | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
hapless victim of the violence sweeping across the region. He was | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
well aware of the dangers, having worked in Libya. There does seem to | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
be a strong sense they will not give up their fight. In November 2012, he | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
was seized by gunmen in Syria. Now his friends' hopes for his eventual | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
release have been all but dashed. James was a true professional. He | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
was really dedicated to journalism. He believed in what he was doing. He | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
would not let anything stop. His mother paid her own tribute to him | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
on Facebook. She said she was proud of her son and he gave his life | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
trying to expose to the world the suffering of the Syrian people. | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
David Cameron is returning to Whitehall today, cutting short his | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
holiday to deal with the fact that a British citizen appears to have | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
murdered an American in the worst possible way. We are absolutely | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
aware that there are significant numbers of British nationals | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
involved in terrible crimes, probably in the commission of | :04:32. | :04:39. | |
atrocities, making jihad with IS and other extremist organisations. This | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
is something we have been tracking and dealing with for many, many | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
months. James Foley's killer will almost certainly be identified. But | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
the chances of bringing him to justice amid all the fighting are | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
very slim. Frank is with me now. This video | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
will be going under intense scrutiny? Yes, it will. I think | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
there is a lot of political pressure to identify this man and try and | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
bring him to justice. President Obama's administration will want | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
some explanation. But in the murky world of counterterrorism and | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
intelligence, this is a case of this is part of an ongoing effort which | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
they have been doing for months to try and identify some of the 500 | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
estimated Britons who have won out to Syria. Most of them have gone out | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
to extremist groups. How do they identify them? They have adopted | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
names, Abu this, Abu that. A lot of them post on Facebook. | :05:41. | :05:41. | |
names, Abu this, Abu that. A lot of them post on They identify | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
themselves on Twitter and other social media. When they come back to | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
this country, many of them will stay out there and get killed. There will | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
be an intense effort to try and identify who this man is and to try | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
and bring him to justice. In northern Iraq and northern Syria, it | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
will be very difficult to find him. Thank you. | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
In a moment, we will speak to our correspondent in Washington. First, | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
Carole Walker is in Downing Street. The possible involvement of a | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
British citizen has brought the Prime Minister out of holiday and | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
back to Downing Street. Yes, he is due back here shortly, clearly aware | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
of the impact this video will have had and the concerns it will have | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
raised among many people and the need to refocus the government | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
response to this crisis. Until now it has all been about the | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
humanitarian problems, what can be done to protect the refugees in the | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
area and to get relief supplies through to those who have been | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
forced to flee their homes. Now the real priority will be to try and | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
establish more about the identity of who may have been involved in this | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
video, which the Prime Minister has described as shocking and depraved. | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
It underlines what the Prime Minister and others have been | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
saying, about the dangers of British fighters involved in this. Clearly | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
this is not something so ministers have been telling us, that can be | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
ignored. If people are involved in these kind of appalling acts out in | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
Iraq and Syria, then clearly there is the potential that that threat | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
could be brought back onto the streets of Britain. The Prime | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
Minister will be talking not just to the Foreign Secretary, home | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
officials -- Home Office officials and other intelligence, there will | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
be clearly a song with the United States as he seeks to take personal | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
charge of the government's response here and try and offer what | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
reassurance he can to the British public, but the government is doing | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
all it can to counter the security threat. Thank you. We can go to | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
Washington now. The sense of shock and revulsion and | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
also a dignified response from James Foley's family. Yes, that is right. | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
They said how proud they were of their son trying to expose the | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
suffering of the Syrian people to the world. And also appealing for | :08:07. | :08:14. | |
the release of the other journalist who was pictured in the video. As | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
America wakes up to the enormity of this tragedy, a lot of attention is | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
now turning to the safety of the other journalists who are being | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
helped by this group. At least three other unknown to be captives, not | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
necessarily of Islamic State but have been missing for some years and | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
there is some concern about what America's response should be. The | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
morning network shows were talking about whether this beheading should | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
have any impact on American foreign policy in Iraq and Syria and what | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
the response should be. We are still waiting for it to be authenticated | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
and until that happens, there will be no statement from President | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
Obama. Once the official word is given, then we can expect some kind | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
of formal response. Thank you both very much. | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
The Israeli military has carried out sixty air strikes in Gaza | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
after accusing the Palestinians of firing more than 80 rockets | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
into Israel since the temporary ceasefire collapsed yesterday. | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
Officials in Gaza say at least ten Palestinians, including the wife and | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
baby daughter of a senior military commander of Hamas, have been killed | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
Our Middle East correspondent Yolande Knell reports from Gaza. | :09:23. | :09:36. | |
Gaza city darkened by a power cut. But then the flash of an Israeli air | :09:37. | :09:44. | |
strike. This morning, the clean-up and the grim search for bodies. | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
Palestinians hoped they had seen the last of scenes like this. Bulldozers | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
are directed as armed Hamas policeman keep watch. This is a | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
sensitive site. We now know that this big pile of rubble behind me | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
was a house that belonged to relatives of the top military | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
commander hammered macro. His wife and baby child are said to be among | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
those killed here. -- Mohammed Deif. There was a response from Hamas | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
militants. Overnight, rockets were fired towards Jerusalem. Residents | :10:24. | :10:33. | |
comforted each other. All of this has thrown Egypt's efforts to broker | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
the longer term cease-fire into jeopardy. TRANSLATION: We consider | :10:38. | :10:46. | |
the negotiations to be over. When the Egyptian moderators see the time | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
is right to resume negotiations, after receiving a response to our | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
proposal, we are ready to return. For now, Israel is recalling 2000 | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
reserve soldiers who had been sent home. Hardliners in the cabinet want | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
a wider operation against Hamas. We have to fight it and it takes | :11:06. | :11:13. | |
patience. The Second World War went on for six years. We have to | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
persevere and beat this group of evil terrorists. Back in Das there | :11:17. | :11:24. | |
is concern that there could be a further escalation of violence -- | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
back in Gaza. Just at a time when many had been looking to rebuild | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
their lives. Two members of the Bank of England's | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
Monetary Policy Committee voted to raise interest rates in August, | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
the first time in three years that It means the nine-member MPC voted 7 | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
to 2 to hold interest rates Our Business Editor Kamal | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
Ahmed is with me now. Very few people could name all | :11:47. | :11:59. | |
members of the MPC. How significant is this? Not since 2011 has anybody | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
on the Monetary Policy Committee voted for an interest rate rise. | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
Interest rates have been at historic lows, 0.5%, for many, many years. | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
This is a signal. I have actually brought along the minutes of the | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
meeting to say why is it that these two people on the Monetary Policy | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
Committee voted for a rise at this stage. They say the fall in | :12:25. | :12:33. | |
unemployment has been rapid. That wage growth could pick up and if we | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
move now, it means we will not need more rapid rises in the future. The | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
key question is, will anyone else join them? It is still seven to two | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
against so interest rates are not rising in the immediate future. I | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
think if we look at the figures we saw yesterday about inflation | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
falling, that suggests that interest rates will not rise fray quickly. | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
The other issue is, as we all know, real incomes are still going down. I | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
think until we get to that stage, the governor of England wants to see | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
escape full city in the economy. I do not believe he feels that he has | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
got to that. Economists are saying no interest rate rise until spring | :13:13. | :13:14. | |
of next year. Thank you. A new crime of domestic abuse could | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
be created in England and Wales. The Home Secretary, Theresa May, | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
has launched a consultation to look at whether a new law is needed to | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
protect people whose partners cause them emotional and psychological | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
harm - but there are questions Here's our legal affairs | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
correspondent, Clive Coleman. Can't you do anything right? You are | :13:33. | :13:51. | |
useless! Terrifying abuse reflected here in a police video. Every 30 | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
seconds, police in England and Wales receive a call on domestic violence. | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
But domestic abuse can also take the form of cruel psychological harm. | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
Carroll, not her real name, lived with a man who for years | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
psychologically abused her. Her words are read by a voice of a BBC | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
producer. Everything was monitored. If I needed to go to the supermarket | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
he would check the mileage on the car to check how far I went, even | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
standing outside the house to see which way I had driven when I left. | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
Now the government is consulting on whether to make domestic abuse a | :14:34. | :14:45. | |
separate criminal offence, focusing on psychological as well as physical | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
abuse. We do not think at the moment that police are taking seriously the | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
issue of coercive control and repeated nonphysical abuse which is | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
why I think it is right to consult on this to make sure the public at | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
large is in no doubt that firstly the government takes this matter | :15:00. | :15:00. | |
seriously, and secondly nonphysical abuse can be just as debilitating as | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
physical abuse. The government argues that those found guilty of | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
coercive behaviour can be prosecuted in the courts for offences of | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
stalking and harassment. But that does not apply specifically to the | :15:18. | :15:25. | |
partner so this new criminal offence would end the ambiguity. Some people | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
are not convinced. If the government are concerned about domestic abuse, | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
they should really put resources into training police or training | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
prosecutors. If they really do think that victims' voices are not heard, | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
that would be a far better use of their resources. The eight-week | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
consultation will now consider whether the current law on domestic | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
abuse is fit for purpose. Islamic State militants release | :15:52. | :15:54. | |

Our correspondent Rajini Vaidyanathan is in Ferguson. | :16:50. | :16:57. | |
For the 10th night running, hundreds of people gathered to | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
Demonstrators filed along the street, chanting. | :17:06. | :17:14. | |
Armed officers were on every corner, initially at a distance. | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
If you are in the middle of the street, | :17:18. | :17:19. | |
Police say troublemakers who had come from as far as Texas | :17:20. | :17:31. | |
As you can see, we have been told to move by police. | :17:32. | :17:40. | |
They said "Media, get out of the way". | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
I am not sure where they are taking us, but what began as a peaceful | :17:43. | :17:50. | |
Protest crowds were a bit smaller, and they were out earlier. | :17:51. | :18:02. | |
We had to respond to fewer incidents than the night before. | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
There were no Molotov cocktails tonight. | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
It was the death of an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown, who was | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
shot by a white police officer, which sparked protests in this town. | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
Only yesterday, a few miles from Ferguson, another young black | :18:17. | :18:23. | |

At least 36 people have died after landslides hit the | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
Japanese city of Hiroshima. | :19:27. | :19:27. | |
Dozens of houses were buried when hillsides saturated by weeks of | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
rain gave way during a storm which hit in the middle of the night. | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
Our Tokyo correspondent Rupert Wingfield Hayes reports. | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
Yesterday, this was a neat and tidy neighbourhood of northern Hiroshima. | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
Today, it is a mangled heap of smashed houses and overturned cars. | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
The torrential rain that caused all this began shortly after midnight. | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
Within three hours, nearly 25 centimetres of rain had | :19:50. | :19:51. | |
It all happened so fast, the first residents here knew | :19:52. | :20:01. | |
about it was when the mud started coming into their homes. | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
All we could do was get the family together and get out, says this | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
woman, as the flow of mud coming into the house was quite strong. | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
When I realised what was happening, says this man, | :20:14. | :20:15. | |
there was mud flowing around and cars were being washed away. | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
Then everything started sliding away. | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
Japan is a very mountainous country, and landslides here are not | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
uncommon. A very similar event killed 32 | :20:27. | :20:34. | |
people on an island south of Tokyo last August. | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
But these events are becoming more common and more deadly. | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
In the 1990s, there were an average of 770 landslides a year in Japan. | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
In the last decade, that number has nearly doubled to 1200 year. | :20:44. | :20:48. | |

food deliveries to the quarantined areas are being | :21:03. | :21:05. | |

The Liberal Democrats have dropped disciplinary proceedings | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
against their former chief executive, Lord Rennard. | :21:18. | :21:19. | |
He was being investigated after failing to fully apologise | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
His suspension from the party has also been lifted. | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
Our political correspondent Arif Ansari is in Westminster. | :21:27. | :21:46. | |
Executive is this the end of it? Probably. But these claims came from | :21:47. | :21:55. | |
four women last year. They said Lord Rennard was responsible for sexual | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
harassment, something they wanted sorted out. So a barrister was | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
appointed. That barrister came to the conclusion that the women were | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
broadly credible, but that they could not be proved young reasonable | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
doubt. So what happened then was a disciplinary enquiry, largely | :22:14. | :22:15. | |
because Lord Rennard failed to apologise. I think ultimately, the | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
party has simply come to the conclusion that they are not going | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
to be able to resolve this matter to the satisfaction of most people. So | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
what they have ultimately done is tried to draw a line under it. It is | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
not really going to work. Of the four women themselves, three have | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
left the party. One described this as simply being fudge have to fudge. | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
But ultimately, I think the leadership realises that they were | :22:42. | :22:49. | |
not going to be able to get any kind of consensual end to this saga. They | :22:50. | :22:59. | |
have drawn a line under it, but it is not a line that is going to | :23:00. | :23:00. | |
satisfy anybody. Patients are given more information | :23:01. | :23:00. | |
about NHS services than ever before, but they are not given | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
the same information about private hospitals, many of which carry out | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
services for the NHS. Now a new report is calling | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
for private hospitals to release the same amounts | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
of information affecting patient Our Health Correspondent Jane | :23:17. | :23:17. | |
Dreaper reports. I look quite yellow, don't I? | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
Anthony Luker had a start to the year, an operation to move his gall | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
bladder should have been straightforward. He had surgery at a | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
private hospital under medical insurance, but complications made | :23:34. | :23:35. | |
him weak and he needed follow-up surgery. I lost two and a half stone | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
in weight during that time, because I was not able to eat. Or sleep. I | :23:42. | :23:49. | |
have been able to do some cycling and some walking. For a few months, | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
I couldn't do anything like that. Today's report says patients need | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
better information about safety in private hospitals. They treat more | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
than a million patients a year, including 400,000 who are funded by | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
the NHS in England. But it is not yet possible to compare data for | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
death rates or complications between different NHS and independent | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
hospices. The basic necessity is to make all hospitals report the same | :24:18. | :24:26. | |
data so that they can be compared with each other and so that the data | :24:27. | :24:35. | |
can be analysed and where it shows where problems are, the problems can | :24:36. | :24:44. | |
be fixed. Patients' charity said people need the fullest information | :24:45. | :24:45. | |
about the hospital, wherever they are being treated. The private | :24:46. | :24:46. | |
sector says it is putting better systems in place. We already have | :24:47. | :24:47. | |
more information than was previously available, and in the next two | :24:48. | :24:48. | |
years, patients will start to see on our website information that is | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
directly, treble with the NHS, comprehensive in terms of quality | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
and price for both hospitals and consultants. Anthony Luker is on the | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
mend now. Cases like his are very rare, and private hospitals say they | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
are proud of their safety record. Jane Treiber, BBC News. | :25:08. | :25:16. | |
They are a part of history, the planes such as these Lancaster | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
bombers which played such a crucial role in the First and Second World | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
Wars. Many of them are now only in the sky because their owners spend | :25:25. | :25:26. | |
huge sums of money, often going into debt to fund the flying. Now this | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
could be about to change. Our transport correspondent Richard | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
Wescott is at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre in spills | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
beat find out how. This is beautifully restored Lancaster | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
bomber. The new rules could mean that planes like this could start | :25:46. | :25:46. | |
flying again. It may not be | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
the prettiest aircraft, or But this one, | :25:51. | :25:52. | |
top speed around 70 miles an hour, One was used to pluck Mussolini | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
from the top of a mountain in One was landed in the streets of | :25:57. | :26:07. | |
Berlin under fierce Russian Field Marshal Montgomery had one | :26:08. | :26:27. | |
and used it extensively It was a helicopter before | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
anyone really had helicopters. It could land on a sixpence | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
on those long, gangly legs, This is the only one flying | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
in Britain, with help But it is not just the wings keeping | :26:40. | :26:47. | |
it in the sky, it is Peter's wallet. Aviation rules mean he can only | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
charge passengers around ?30 Now, the safety regulator | :26:54. | :26:55. | |
the CAA is looking at new rules so that owners can charge more, as long | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
as they are clear about the risks. This really is a piece of living, | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
working history. The problem is, aircraft | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
like this rely on individuals investing hundreds of thousands | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
of pounds of their own money. So without help, | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
many could be lost to the skies. A lot of vintage aeroplanes | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
are operated by people who It is a labour of love, | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
and they really go without to keep I think it would make a lot | :27:21. | :27:28. | |
of difference. It would make all | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
the difference to people like that. The regulator is hoping to make | :27:33. | :27:42. | |
changes by the end of the year. It should help ensure these | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
little chapters in our history stay This hombre would have held ten | :27:47. | :27:57. | |
tonnes worth of arms. It cost ?3 million to get this aircraft back | :27:58. | :28:00. | |
into the skies. For now, they just do taxi rides. There is another one | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
due in a few minutes' time, and look at the crowd that has turned up to | :28:05. | :28:05. | |
watch. Will they want to take to the skies | :28:06. | :28:15. | |
in this kind of weather? Or in bed's Halo is slipping. We had some | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
sunshine today in Lincolnshire, but we have the showers in Lancaster | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
today. The weather today is rose to what we had yesterday. A scattering | :28:24. | :28:26. | |
of showers, not as many as yesterday. This lovely picture was | :28:27. | :28:33. | |
taken near Castleton. The rainbow is because we had shower clouds across | :28:34. | :28:38. | |
this part of the country. From the word go today my across parts of | :28:39. | :28:40. | |
Wales as well. We still have the cool air across us | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
and we are seeing a few We still have the cool air across us | :28:45. | :28:53. | |
and showers around. We still have some showers in Wales. But more | :28:54. | :28:59. | |
places will be becoming dry, with more sunshine arriving. A similar | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
story across the north-west of England as well. A little sunshine | :29:04. | :29:06. | |
later in the day, but increasing amounts of cloud coming from the | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
north-west and turning wetter in the north-west of Scotland. A poor day | :29:12. | :29:15. | |
in Inverness. Some brighter skies further south, and showers over the | :29:16. | :29:21. | |
east of the Pennines, possibly arriving in Lincolnshire later this | :29:22. | :29:31. | |
afternoon. Some heavy showers across eastern areas of England this | :29:32. | :29:35. | |
evening. Those will pull away with. We will have clearer skies further | :29:36. | :29:41. | |
south. Much more cloud pushing into Scotland and Northern Ireland. Here, | :29:42. | :29:46. | |
it will not be as cold as last night. A bright start in the East | :29:47. | :30:02. | |
tomorrow. There will be a loss of cloud further north. It is going to | :30:03. | :30:09. | |
be driest, brightest and warmest in the south-east of England. But here | :30:10. | :30:12. | |
on Friday, we could start with quite a few heavy downpours. Those will | :30:13. | :30:16. | |
pull through and then the direction changes. We are back into that | :30:17. | :30:20. | |
Chile, north-westerly breeze that will bring us this mixture of | :30:21. | :30:23. | |
sunshine and a scattering of showers. That is probably how we | :30:24. | :30:31. | |
will start the weekend on Saturday. The wind may kill off the showers. | :30:32. | :30:34. | |
Could be really cold on Saturday night, but as we head into Sunday, | :30:35. | :30:38. | |
many of us will enjoy sunshine for some of the day, but then this | :30:39. | :30:41. | |
weather front brings rain into the north-west. That will change the | :30:42. | :30:46. | |
wind direction, lifting temperatures of the weekend goes on, but by | :30:47. | :30:51. | |
Monday, there will be rain around as well. | :30:52. | :30:55. | |
A reminder of our top story: Islamic State militants release a video | :30:56. | :30:58. | |

British accent. All the hallmarks point to it being genuine, an | :31:05. | :31:11. | |
appalling example of the brutality of this organisation. In the past | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
few minutes, the Prime Minister has arrived back in Downing Street from | :31:17. | :31:18. | |
his holiday to hold emergency meetings on the situation. That is | :31:19. | :31:22. | |
