:01:54. > :01:57.The former head of British Armed Forces says Islamic State extremists
:01:58. > :02:02.need to be attacked in their own back yard in Syria. So talks must be
:02:03. > :02:05.held with President Assad. It is a view backed by the chair of the
:02:06. > :02:09.parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee. The United
:02:10. > :02:13.States says that the jihadists are the most dangerous threat America
:02:14. > :02:16.has faced in recent times and pose an imminent threat to every interest
:02:17. > :02:23.we have. Our defence correspondent has the story. For the past two
:02:24. > :02:27.weeks, America has been using its military power to halt the advance
:02:28. > :02:31.of the Islamic State fighters in northern Iraq.
:02:32. > :02:38.A bombing campaign that's only recently been stepped up, following
:02:39. > :02:43.the brutal beheading of the US journalist James Foley. It is his
:02:44. > :02:47.death and the shock waves which is refocussing minds on both sides of
:02:48. > :02:52.the Atlantic. Intelligence agencies are trying to establish the identity
:02:53. > :02:56.of his executer in, who is believed to be British. He's of one of many
:02:57. > :03:00.foreign fighters who have joined the ranks of an extreme barbaric
:03:01. > :03:04.organisation, which America says posed the greatest threat to the
:03:05. > :03:11.West. They are beyond just a terrorist group. They marry
:03:12. > :03:16.ideology, a sophistication of strategic and tactical military
:03:17. > :03:22.prowess. They are tremendously well funded. This is beyond anything that
:03:23. > :03:29.we've seen. We must prepare for everything. The only way you do that
:03:30. > :03:33.is you take a cold, hard look at it and get ready.
:03:34. > :03:38.The problem though is not just that their fighters are well trained,
:03:39. > :03:43.well armed and well funded. It is one of geography, with the tentals
:03:44. > :03:47.of the Islamic State recognising no borders. What President Obama calls
:03:48. > :03:53.a cancer, has already spread from its source in Syria to large swathes
:03:54. > :03:59.of Iraq. How can the threat be defeated, not only contained? This
:04:00. > :04:03.is an organisation which have an end of days strategic vision. And which
:04:04. > :04:07.will eventually have to be defeated. To your question, can they be
:04:08. > :04:13.defeated without addressing that part of their organisation which
:04:14. > :04:18.resides in Syria? The answer is, no. Tln lies the dilemma. The West and
:04:19. > :04:22.the Syrian regime have a common enemy in the Islamic State. Britain
:04:23. > :04:28.and America also oppose the Syrian dictator. He too has committed
:04:29. > :04:32.atrocities. One year ago his forces gassed his own people. I think the
:04:33. > :04:36.hard conclusion you probably have to reach is that the old statement of
:04:37. > :04:41.my enemy's enemy is my friend might have some truth in it. It just might
:04:42. > :04:45.be either under the counter or over the counter. Some conversation may
:04:46. > :04:56.have to go on with the Assange regime in order toful -- with the
:04:57. > :05:01.Assad regime to bring an answer. The West caught between the devy and the
:05:02. > :05:12.deep blue sea. Our correspondent is in Erbil, in
:05:13. > :05:17.Kurdish Iraq for us now. In the West are calling for Islamic State to be
:05:18. > :05:23.attacked on two fronts - Syria as well as Iraq. That is a huge task,
:05:24. > :05:28.surely? It is. It's not at all straightforward, as Jonathan was
:05:29. > :05:32.saying there. They are reluctant to put their own boots on the ground.
:05:33. > :05:35.The Pentagon recognise that would complicate the situation, even if
:05:36. > :05:40.they were willing to do it, which they are not. You have to have other
:05:41. > :05:42.local forces, as has been happening here in Kurdistan, where the
:05:43. > :05:49.Americans have been supporting Kurdish forces with air power.
:05:50. > :05:53.Extending that to the rest of Iraq and Syria involves complications. In
:05:54. > :05:59.Iraq, there is basically a very strong civil war going on between
:06:00. > :06:03.Iraqi Shi'ites and Sunnis. The Sunnis recent the Government in
:06:04. > :06:06.Baghdad, which is now outgoing. Until there's a broad-based
:06:07. > :06:10.representative Government in there which has a big enough Sunni
:06:11. > :06:16.component to pull the rug from under the Islamic militants who have been
:06:17. > :06:20.able to exploit Sunni grievances, until that happens the Americans
:06:21. > :06:25.cannot wade in without taking sides which is essentially in some
:06:26. > :06:29.respects a civil war. In Syria they cannot wade in and bomb. They need
:06:30. > :06:34.ground forces. The Syrian opposition is against the Syrian regime. Both
:06:35. > :06:38.are supposedly against the radicals. The priority of the opposition is to
:06:39. > :06:42.hit the regime, not the radicals. So you have a whole set of
:06:43. > :06:46.relationships there which will have to be fundamentally reavaining
:06:47. > :06:52.ranged if there is to -- rearranged if there is to be a conclusion. It
:06:53. > :06:59.is horrendously complicated A lot of things have to change. Thanks, Jim.
:07:00. > :07:03.Well, with me now is our security correspondent. Let's return to the
:07:04. > :07:09.killing of the US journalist James Foley. Has there been any progress
:07:10. > :07:13.in trying to identify his killer? If there has, no-one in Whitehall is
:07:14. > :07:17.announcing it publicly. This is an on-going investigation. For the US,
:07:18. > :07:21.for the Americans, it is a murder investigation as ordered be I the US
:07:22. > :07:24.Attorney General thasmt are not giving out any confirmation. There
:07:25. > :07:29.is huge speculation in the press as to who it might be. Databases have
:07:30. > :07:33.been trawled through. Academics and others have looked through their
:07:34. > :07:36.databases to see if they can match up who it is. Remember that the
:07:37. > :07:41.alleged or suspected killer, the militant holding the knife in the
:07:42. > :07:49.video has got much of his face masked. Then there is the voice on
:07:50. > :07:52.the tape, which I am not 100% convinced is his. The problem is
:07:53. > :07:57.even if you can identify, what do you do? How do you bring him to
:07:58. > :08:01.justice? You cannot present an extradition request to the Syrian
:08:02. > :08:05.Government. This is, for a start Britain doesn't have relations with
:08:06. > :08:10.the Syrian Government any more. It is beyond their control it is under
:08:11. > :08:14.control of the jihadists. So, then you are looking at a snatch
:08:15. > :08:17.operation, like the Americans try and failed in early July to try and
:08:18. > :08:24.rescue the hostages. I would say this though, the Americans have long
:08:25. > :08:30.memories offen this. And they took -- memories of this. They did a
:08:31. > :08:33.raid, not that long ago in Tripoli, where they got somebody they
:08:34. > :08:37.suspected. Possibly the wrong person, possibly the right, who
:08:38. > :08:40.knows and they have done it in Somalia. They are capable of doing
:08:41. > :08:44.this. Eventually the Americans, I think, will try and bring this
:08:45. > :08:50.person to justice. Many thanks for that.
:08:51. > :08:54.Now, a Russian convoy that the Kremlin says is carrying
:08:55. > :08:58.humanitarian supplies including food and water for civilians in eastern
:08:59. > :09:02.Ukraine has moved into the country. The Red Cross planned to escort the
:09:03. > :09:06.mission, but said it couldn't because of insufficient security
:09:07. > :09:10.guarantees. Kiev says the convoy, in crossing the border, has made a
:09:11. > :09:14.direct invasion of Ukrainian territory. Our correspondent is in
:09:15. > :09:21.Moscow. Just bring us up-to-date with the convoy now. It has crossed
:09:22. > :09:24.into Ukrainian territory. The Ukrainians are saying this is
:09:25. > :09:28.effectively an invasion. Yes. Basically it's not the entire convoy
:09:29. > :09:33.we first saw last week of more than 200 trucks. We think it is about 70
:09:34. > :09:36.or so of these white-painted trucks, have crossed the border. Some of
:09:37. > :09:40.those trucks, journalists were able to look into and saw there was water
:09:41. > :09:46.and grain and sleeping bags in the back. Some of the trucks, about 30,
:09:47. > :09:52.were inspected by Ukrainian custom officials earlier this week. Far
:09:53. > :09:55.more trucks than those inspected by the Ukrainians have crossed the
:09:56. > :09:59.border. They are saying they don't know what are in the trucks. That I
:10:00. > :10:01.say they have cross -- they are saying they have crossed the border
:10:02. > :10:09.without the permission of Ukraine. That is in violation of the
:10:10. > :10:13.principals of the international law. And the Ukrainians are asking
:10:14. > :10:21.international partners to join them in condemning what they call Russian
:10:22. > :10:29.aggression. The trucks have started up the road towards a city in
:10:30. > :10:34.pro-gunmen hands. For these trucks to get into there they have to cross
:10:35. > :10:37.the front line twice. They will probably take a back route into the
:10:38. > :10:41.city and may not go through the fighting. They are effectively going
:10:42. > :10:47.to cross the front line twice. So, there are huge risks if the convoy
:10:48. > :10:51.either gets blocked or fired at by the Ukrainian side that this
:10:52. > :10:55.conflict could escalate further. What the Ukrainians are saying is,
:10:56. > :10:58.although this is as they call it a direct invasion, that they will not
:10:59. > :11:02.try and block the convoy and they will not fire on the convoy, because
:11:03. > :11:09.they don't want to cause a provocation.
:11:10. > :11:14.Thanks. Doctors could be forced to apologise
:11:15. > :11:19.if they have not done so for making mistakes in the care of their
:11:20. > :11:23.patients. It is part of tougher sanctions being considered by the
:11:24. > :11:28.General Medical Council. These proposals are aimed at the
:11:29. > :11:34.tiny minority of doctors who believe that sorry is the hardest word. The
:11:35. > :11:39.majority can and do honestly admit their mistakes. Doctors are human.
:11:40. > :11:43.If they make a one-off error, they generally won't have to go before
:11:44. > :11:46.the General Medical Council. In some serious cases, the GMC believes
:11:47. > :11:50.patients want to see stronger action.
:11:51. > :11:55.What we are saying is that doctors who very seriously fall below our
:11:56. > :11:59.standards, is it right that a panel should either be required to make
:12:00. > :12:03.them say sorry, or indeed take into account if they have said sorry,
:12:04. > :12:08.when that took place. In the wake of the scandal at
:12:09. > :12:13.Stafford Hospital, where hundreds of people died unness sarly, the health
:12:14. > :12:19.-- unnecessarily, the Health Secretary says he's taking steps to
:12:20. > :12:27.improve patients' safety and insure doctors are held to account for poor
:12:28. > :12:33.care. Some say the balance is just about right.
:12:34. > :12:38.The vast majority of doctors come to work every day and do a good job.
:12:39. > :12:41.Others say sanctions are necessary. Some of these proposals make very
:12:42. > :12:47.good sense and we welcome them. What we really need to see is a
:12:48. > :12:51.wholesale, root and branch reform of health professional regulation.
:12:52. > :12:56.Doctors who say sorry won't be exposing themselves to financial
:12:57. > :12:59.claims. Usually there will be less difficulty if they are open and
:13:00. > :13:03.honest at the time something goes wrong. The general public will be
:13:04. > :13:10.asked to have their say on these proposals.
:13:11. > :13:21.A national day of mourning is being held in Malaysia,. The bodies were
:13:22. > :13:28.returned home with full state honours and a moment of silence is
:13:29. > :13:32.being held in their arrival at Kuala Lumpur.
:13:33. > :13:36.Jonathan Head is there. It had been a long journey home. Five weeks

:14:03. > :14:06.major disasters in just four months. So the this family are not alone in
:14:07. > :14:12.their grief. The 37-year-old mother of two was a flight attendant on the
:14:13. > :14:20.ill fated plane. They are still adjusting to the fact she's gone.
:14:21. > :14:26.She was just my companion. We do everything together. So, it's: When
:14:27. > :14:32.she's gone, it is a total loss for me.
:14:33. > :14:36.She was the best thing and I talked to when I had problems. There was
:14:37. > :14:40.some comfort in a community coming together to say goodbye. As one of
:14:41. > :14:47.them pointed out, at least they had a body to bury.
:14:48. > :14:50.The fate of the 239 people on board that earlier Malaysian flight which
:14:51. > :14:58.went missing in March is still unknown. What we have been
:14:59. > :15:03.witnessing today is loss and at a very personal level. And also on a
:15:04. > :15:07.much larger scale. This has been a horribly unlucky year for Malaysia.
:15:08. > :15:12.One for which its national airline at least will struggle to recover.
:15:13. > :15:17.Even as they bury their dead, Malaysians are asking questions. Why
:15:18. > :15:26.a civilian airliners on a routine flight was shot out of the sky? And

:15:53. > :15:58.four hours. In the last 12 hours, the news from
:15:59. > :16:04.Hiroshima has continued to get worse. Yesterday, rescuers thought
:16:05. > :16:09.only a handful of people were buried under these huge mudslides. Now they
:16:10. > :16:13.think the number is closer to 50. It seems as a whole families were
:16:14. > :16:18.buried as they slept. For the rescuers, it is hard to know where
:16:19. > :16:24.to start digging amid all of this. Many houses have been completely
:16:25. > :16:29.obliterated. Time is rapidly running out. TRANSLATION: We have to be
:16:30. > :16:32.extremely careful here as we are looking at potentially a secondary
:16:33. > :16:37.disaster. Rescue and search operations are going through a
:16:38. > :16:44.difficult patch right now. Harrowing stories have also begun to emerge
:16:45. > :16:48.here. This is a spot where a father handed his three rod son to a
:16:49. > :16:53.fireman, only to see both swept away and killed seconds later by a fresh
:16:54. > :16:56.landslide. Everyone here talks of the astonishing speed with which all
:16:57. > :17:05.this happened, and of the extraordinary amount of rain that
:17:06. > :17:08.caused it, nearly ten inches in just four hours. TRANSLATION: I have
:17:09. > :17:12.never seen such heavy rain before. It poured down like waterfalls. The
:17:13. > :17:17.lightning was also very frightening. My family lived across the street
:17:18. > :17:24.and I decided to come and help. Many others who lived even further also
:17:25. > :17:27.came. We all want to help. Japan is an extremely mountainous country and

:24:35. > :24:39.President George W Bush has taken on the Ice Bucket Challenge. From Bill
:24:40. > :24:47.Gates, the Beckham 's and Oprah Winfrey, to ordinary people. They
:24:48. > :24:53.have all been tipping a bucket of water over their heads and they are

:25:43. > :25:48.Anybody who says they are doing it or are not doing it, are raising
:25:49. > :25:52.awareness of motor neurone disease. That is the important thing, raising
:25:53. > :25:58.awareness and raising funds so we can work out how to help people
:25:59. > :26:03.manage this disease and develop a cure. Not everyone is taking part.

:26:24. > :26:25.Match Of The Day, The programme, which kicked off
:26:26. > :26:29.in 1964 with Liverpool's 3-2 win over Arsenal was originally intended
:26:30. > :26:32.to be a one-off series. But the highlights programme soon

:26:52. > :26:56.first of a weekly series coming to you every Saturday. The faces may
:26:57. > :27:01.have changed, but one thing has remained. For football lovers, no
:27:02. > :27:08.Saturday night is complete without this familiar tune. It was one of
:27:09. > :27:14.the things that I was allowed to do by my parents. They let me watch
:27:15. > :27:18.Match Of The Day. If I have been to the game, I love coming home and
:27:19. > :27:23.watching it because you can reassess your thoughts in a way, see if you
:27:24. > :27:32.were right, see if you were wrong. The format has always been simple,
:27:33. > :27:37.the main highlights with discussion in between. To get that six in an
:27:38. > :27:42.hour and a half of everything that happens on that day, it really does
:27:43. > :27:50.work. Match Of The Day began life as a pre-recorded show on BBC Two in
:27:51. > :27:54.1964. The first goal broadcast was Roger Hunt for Liverpool against
:27:55. > :27:58.Arsenal. Kenneth Wolstenholme was followed by a raft of famous
:27:59. > :28:03.presenters who brought their own special charm to the show. Sorry
:28:04. > :28:10.about the noise! And then there are the commentators. That is absolutely
:28:11. > :28:15.phenomenal! One of the most famous voices returns for a one-off
:28:16. > :28:19.commentary tomorrow, ten years after his retirement. Barry Davies says it
:28:20. > :28:22.remains appointment to view television. It is the comfort that
:28:23. > :28:24.people feel. They know they television. It is the comfort that
:28:25. > :28:30.people feel. They know have got the package. It is true they try not to
:28:31. > :28:34.know the results of other matches and they go home and watch. They can
:28:35. > :28:39.get all the schools in the ground let alone when they leave the
:28:40. > :28:43.ground. It is a phenomenon. The presenters, the commentary and the
:28:44. > :28:49.goals that give you goose bumps. Match Of The Day is a broadcasting
:28:50. > :28:51.institution. And we will see you next Saturday, good night.
:28:52. > :28:54.And the BBC is tonight celebrating that milestone with a special
:28:55. > :28:58.programme - Match Of The Day At 50, at 10.35pm here on BBC One.
:28:59. > :28:59.Viewers in Northern Ireland can see it
:29:00. > :29:17.Hello, it has been brightening up nicely today. Through the rest of
:29:18. > :29:23.the afternoon, plenty of decent spells of sunshine. A few showers
:29:24. > :29:27.but many of us will avoid them. This is the satellite image which shows
:29:28. > :29:31.us the cloud we have already had. A few showers and some of those
:29:32. > :29:36.showers could be heavy north of Scotland. I think across parts of
:29:37. > :29:41.north and eastern England, one or two showers to be seen. The odd
:29:42. > :29:48.rumble of thunder around. Brighter skies as we move down the South --
:29:49. > :29:52.south through Scotland. Temperatures around 15 or 16 across northern
:29:53. > :29:58.areas. For England, most of the showers to the east of the Pennines.
:29:59. > :30:01.For the south coast down to Cornwall, sunny spells tolerating
:30:02. > :30:05.things through the rest of the afternoon and quite a good deal of
:30:06. > :30:10.dry weather as well through Wales. Into the evening, we will keep the
:30:11. > :30:13.risk of showers filtering in through the Liverpool Bay region and into
:30:14. > :30:24.the Midlands, but generally clear skies. It will be quite a cool
:30:25. > :30:31.night. It will be a crisp and cool start to Saturday. It is shaping up
:30:32. > :30:33.like a decent day again. A few showers mainly across central and
:30:34. > :30:38.eastern parts of England and Scotland as well. The best of the
:30:39. > :30:41.sunshine for the southern and western parts of the UK. Temperature
:30:42. > :30:48.wise, little call for the time of year. 19 or 20 Celsius towards the
:30:49. > :30:53.south-east. And there are plenty of festivals happening this weekend. At
:30:54. > :30:58.Leeds there is the chance of a shower. Less of a chance for Reading
:30:59. > :31:06.and also in Southampton. If you are sleeping under canvas this weekend,
:31:07. > :31:08.Saturday night will be a cold one. We will see temperatures down to
:31:09. > :31:15.around freezing in other areas. Sunday will dawn on a chilly old
:31:16. > :31:25.note. Despite the cut cold start, there is plenty of sunshine. The low
:31:26. > :31:29.pressure get to move on through Monday. Some spells of wet weather
:31:30. > :31:35.pushing across England and Wales but it is not a complete write-off.
:31:36. > :31:41.Temperatures up to 19 degrees or so. All in all, it is looking
