A global threat needing a global response - President Hollande's | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
warning about the so-called Islamic State militants. 40 countries, | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
including ten Arab states meet in Paris to sign up to a collision to | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
fight IS in Iraq and Syria. We will get the latest live from the French | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
capital. Also this lunch time... I am in Edinburgh, with just three | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
days of campaigning to go before people go to the polls. | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
Alex Salmond and David Cameron are both out i making the final push for | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
yes and no to independence. Two British tourists have been found | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
murdered on a beach in southern Thailand. 5, 500 jobs at risk as | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
phones for you goes into administration. The mission which | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
aims to land on a Comet later this year has identified which it thinks | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
is the safest place to sit down. Energy bosses face questions about | :01:02. | :01:10. | |
exploding pavements after a lucky escape for a van driver. 30,000 | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
front-line workers have been attacked while on duty. | :01:15. | :01:30. | |
Good afternoon. Welcome to the BBC News. The French President, Francois | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
Hollande, has said there's no time to lose in the fight against the | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
militant group which calls itself Islamic State. Speaking oh at the | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
opening of an international conference in Paris, he said the | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
jihadists posed a global threat which needed a global response. He | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
also called for complete support for moderate rebels in Syria fighting | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
the regime of President Assad. Our security correspondent reports. | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
David Haines, murdered. James Foley, murdered. | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
Steven Sotloff, murdered. The recent beheading of these three western | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
hostages in Syria, by the so-called Islamic State has called galvanise | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
world leaders to taking decisive action. | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
They arrived today from 30 countries for a conference in Paris with a | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
rare unity of purpose - a US-brokered extremists that the | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
extremists of Islamic State must be uprooted from the Middle East. It | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
opened with a warning from Iraq. The victims of the occupation are | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
from all religions and ethnic groups, this terrorist organisation | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
has killed elderly, children, men and women. It aims to establish a | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
state which will represent a base for further action throughout the | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
Middle East and the world. That base is already half | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
established. This map shows the part of Iraqs and Syria now under control | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
of Islamic State. They have lost some ground in Iraq. In Syria it is | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
more complicated. A country torn apart by three years | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
of civil war, is seeing rebel fight rebel, with the Islamic State the | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
most powerful force, opposing the regime of President Assad. What will | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
dislodge them? US air strikes, launched from this carrier in the | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
Gulf, have driven back Islamic State fighters from Iraq's strategic | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
damns. RAFFor they dors have -- RAFFor they dors will be joined by | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
French jets. There is a general acceptance this will take a | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
concerted international effort on many levels. | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
It ignores borders and it even claims to establish a state. So, | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
this is a global threat and the response has to be a global | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
response. In the Islamic State capital, the | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
jihadists have had three months to consolidate their grip on power. | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
Hiding and then killing hostage after hostage. The latest to be | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
threatened with beheading is a Briton, Alan Henning - a taxi driver | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
from Salford, kidnapped while delivering aid to Syria's refugees. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
Let's speak to our correspondent, who is in Paris. And what are | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
ministers there hoping to achieve? Well, I think the Americans in | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
particular have been working towards getting some specifics about what | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
different countries are able to contribute to this campaign. This | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
conference comes as part of a long negotiation over exactly that. | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
America has already got some ten Arab countries to sign up to this. | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
Some of whom have said they would be happy to carry out air strikes. It | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
is looking for countries to train and equip the Iraqi army to stop | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
fighters going to join Islamic State, to stop money being funnelled | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
to them. It is looking around to see which countries might be able to | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
help out with the political and the security aspects of this campaign. | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
You heard President Hollande there, openening the conference, saying | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
this is a global problem. Every country is involved in trying to | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
solve it, he said. Thank you very much. | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
With three days of campaigning left before Thursday's Scottish | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
independence vote, both sides are intensifying their battle to win | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
votes. The First Minister and Prime Minister are hitting the campaign | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
trail again. Jane Hill is in Edinburgh for you. Thank you very | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
much. Yes, welcome to Holyrood. A matter of days left for both sides | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
to persuade those crucial undecideds to join their camp. David Cameron | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
will be here in Scotland later. We think he will warn voters there'll | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
be no way back if they decide to leave the UK on Thursday. And then | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
this morning Alex Salmond was out and about meeting business leaders, | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
arguing a "yes" vote will help to grow Scotland's economy. This report | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
contains flash photography. The shipyards in the Clyde which | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
built the QE2 have shrunk in numbers and staff in recent years, now | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
dependant on Government contracts the former Defence Secretary told | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
workers a @yard in Glasgow that independence would lead to an | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
uncertain future. A "no" vote is to protect jobs. It is about skilled | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
jobs, as it has in the past. A vote yes for separation will put all | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
these jobs at risk. Defence jobs, engineering jobs. Jobs in ship | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
building in the Clyde. Apren ta siss here say Alex Salmond | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
will not meet them to discuss their concerns. The SNP said he did | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
discuss job prospects with the trade unions. In the final three days both | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
sides are trying to eliminate the negatives. Labour are trying to stop | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
the drift of their supporters towards a "yes" vote as a means of | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
kicking the Conservatives. Across the country Alex Salmond is trying | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
to sink the accusation that the "yes" campaign is anti-business. At | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
Edinburgh Airport he said that the warnings flying in from the banks | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
about independence were simply politically motivated. There are | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
only one or two who were gulled into the Prime Minister's scaremongering | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
campaign. This is the difference - these Scottish businesses have | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
substantial confidence for an independent Scotland. They see it | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
creating a more prosperous economy. He was meeting those who were | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
optimistic. Among them the director of Stage Coach. Later today David | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
Cameron will travel to Scotland to tell voters there's no going back | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
from independence. He knows it is possible he'll be the Prime Minister | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
who presided over the ending of a 300--year-old political union. He is | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
determined to do what he can to prevent it. | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
Well, let's talk to our assistant political editor Norman Smith, who | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
is waiting for David Cameron. Are we going to hear, presumably, Norman, a | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
familiar refrain from the Prime Minister? There are not going to be | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
any new announcements, no new arguments. What Mr Cameron will seek | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
to stress is this is a once in a lifetime vote. He will urge Scots | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
not to use it as an occasion to protest against austerity or the | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
coalition Government or the Conservatives, but to recognise this | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
vote lasts forever and is much bigger than any passing Government | :08:43. | :08:52. | |
or any particular policy. He also have more emotional language that we | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
saw last time, when he tried to make a positive case for the union rather | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
than going back to arguments about the economy and sterling and Europe. | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
Very lastly, expect him to mention one D Beckham - David Beckham - who | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
has come out and urged Scots to remain in the Union. How far the | :09:12. | :09:22. | |
support of an English football icon is probably a different point. When | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
we look at the people he's been surrounding himself with there in | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
Edinburgh, it takes us back to that old political adage, "it's the | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
economy, stupid." Alex Salmond very much trying to press the case for | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
the economic benefits for independence, saying it is | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
ridiculous to suggest that a country that was the home of Adam Smith | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
cannot run itself own economy and again repeating that criticism of | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
David Cameron for bullying businesses and banks to come out and | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
criticise Scotland's prospects if it chooses go alone. Alex Salmond | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
stepping into that controversy over whether the Queen yesterday was | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
signalling her support for the Union, when on her way out of church | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
she said to on lookers she hoped people would think very carefully | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
about the future. The SNP is saying that was referendum small talk. Mr | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
Salmond says she has been absolutely impartial and Buckingham Palace this | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
lunch time insisting that the Queen believes it is up to the Scottish | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
people and the Scottish people alone to decide this referendum. | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
Norman, thank you very much. Well, a quick remind erd that you | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
will find more on all the key development on the campaign on the | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
BBC website: From here in Edinburgh, Simon, back | :10:50. | :11:07. | |
to you. Thank you very much. Two British tourists have been killed in | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
Thailand. The bodies of the man and woman were discovered not far from | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
their beach hut. Our correspondent has just sent this | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
report. The bodies of a young man and woman were discovered on this | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
beach early this morning. Both were identified as British. Police | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
re-enforcements were brought in from the mainland to help with the | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
investigation. All boats were blocked from leaving the island. Koh | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
Tao lies in the gulf of Thailand. It is popular with divers and normally | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
quieter than better known neighbouring islands. The Foreign | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
Office issued a statement, saying: | :11:46. | :11:54. | |
Violent crime against tourists is relatively uncommon in Thailand, but | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
there have been a number of high-profile attacks at beach | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
resorts in recent years. This looks to be a particularly | :12:03. | :12:17. | |
gruesome attack on this island? Yes, the police have described some | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
horrifying injuries that were found. That I were fairly confident of | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
finding the culprits. They believe they have sealed the island off and | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
you can only get there by boat, quickly enough this morning, to have | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
stopped the perpetrators from getting away. At the moment, they | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
are going through the process of questioning the hotel where this man | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
and woman stayed and any people who saw them last night. It is believed | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
they may have taken part in a late-night party on the beach, just | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
before they were killed. Usually the police here do move | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
efficiently in dealing with these type of crimes. They are not | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
unknown. Although violent crime against tourists is rarely uncommon. | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
They are aware of the potential damage to the tourist industry. We | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
have seen a great deal of police attention, very quickly, on that | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
island this morning, trying to go through the small number. It is not | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
a well developed island of people staying there and see if they can | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
find the culprit. Thank you very much. More than 5, 500 jobs are at | :13:15. | :13:23. | |
risk at Phones 4U. It was put into administration last night after two | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
mobile networks it sells contracts for decided to end their | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
relationship with the retailer. Phones 4U were one of the stores you | :13:31. | :13:42. | |
went to for independent advice They grew rapidly, but suddenly | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
their future looks bleak. Customers arrived confused, but this | :13:46. | :14:10. | |
man said he was not surprised. I will just go down to one of the | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
other phone shops. It was the decisions by Vodafone followed by EE | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
to end their relationship with Phones 4U which tipped the company | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
over the edge. In a statement, the owners of Phones 4U attacked | :14:27. | :14:40. | |
Vodafone, saying... But Vodafone says it has been told it has little | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
flexibility come due to its debt repayment obligations. The | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
competition to sell these is getting ever more intense, and the profit | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
margins for the phone networks are getting slimmer. They have all got | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
their own shops on the high street, so they are not keen to share any | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
profits they do make with the likes of Phones 4U. It was Sir John | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
Caudwell who grew Phones 4U from one small Midlands dealership to a | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
national chain. In 2006, he sold it for ?1.5 billion to private | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
investors. It has been sold on again since, in the process, acquiring | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
plenty of debt. One major business figure says we will miss it. There | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
will definitely be a lack of competition if Phones 4U disappears. | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
The internet has caused the demise of many high retailers, like the | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
virgin Megastore is. Staff at the Staffordshire headquarters were | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
leaving with their possessions this morning. The administrators will now | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
try to find a buyer, but there is little optimism that these shops | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
will be back in the telephones business any time soon. With me now | :15:50. | :15:57. | |
is a Simon Gompertz. What about customers, some of whom will have | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
just got a new phone? Yes, the problem is this coincides with the | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
launch of the iPhone 6. A lot of people at the end of last week, tens | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
of thousands, I understand, will have ordered iPhone 6s through | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
Phones 4U and will be expecting them to turn up at the end of this week. | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
It does not look as though they will turn up. If anybody has ordered a | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
phone from the company, they are promising a refund on the upfront | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
payment you made, which could be hundreds of pounds. And then, once | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
it has not turned up, you have signed a contract, but it will not | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
be activated, so the monthly payments will not go out. What about | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
people who have already got a contract coverage? In fact, their | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
contract will be one of the other companies, not with Phones 4U, and | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
that will simply carry on. After a couple of years if you think you are | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
due an upgrade of your handset, that will still haven't happen, you just | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
get in touch with EE, for example. If you have put your phone in for | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
repair, then it is likely to centre back, but not to the shop, it will | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
come back to your address at no extra charge. It is unclear at the | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
moment about if you have subscribed for an insurance policy, but that | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
will become clear in the next couple of days. | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
A global threat - needing a global response. | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
President Hollande's warning about the so-called Islamic state | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
A site is chosen for Europe's space mission to land on a comet. | :17:29. | :17:38. | |
Later on BBC London - the biggest rail franchise on the network gets | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
up and running today, but will passengers notice the difference? | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
And the play preparing for its West End transfer. | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
An inquest into the deaths of six Britons and a | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
UK-based Colombian killed during a militant attack on a gas plant | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
In January last year, a group linked to al-Qaeda stormed | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
Algerian forces laid siege, and by the time they regained | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
control, 40 workers and at least 29 militants were dead. | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
The inquest's coroner stood down last week to be replaced | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
by a judge, after the Government said it might present | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
Our correspondent Andy Moore is at the court. | :18:22. | :18:33. | |
Simon, there was silence in court as the names of all 40 workers who were | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
killed were read out. There was emotion, there were tears, as loved | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
ones paid tribute to those people, including the seven British | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
residents who died. Wives, brothers, fathers, stood in front of | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
a picture of their loved one and paid tribute to them. | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
At dawn on January 16, 2013, gunfire erupted at this gas plant in the | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
Algerian desert. Heavily armed militants stormed the site. Dozens | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
of Western workers were seized. When the Algerian military eventually | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
recaptured it, many Western hostages were freed, but many others died. | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
There were fears gunfights, 29 militants were killed. This inquest | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
is likely to hear that at least one of the Britons was hit by a Algerian | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
gunfire. Relatives of the seven British residents will be among the | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
first to speak at this inquest. Many have said they still do not know how | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
their loved ones died. They are hoping to get answers. The crisis | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
began on the 16th of January, a Wednesday, when gunmen attacked the | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
sprawling Compaqs, taking hundreds hostage. The initial assault by | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
Algerian forces killed many, but many hostages escaped. On Saturday, | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
the final assault came, with 11 gunmen still in one corner, with | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
seven hostages. The man who masterminded the assault, Mokhtar | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
Belmokhtar, is still believed to be at large. The chaotic events which | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
happened in the Algerian desert in 19 months ago will now be the | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
subject of intense scrutiny. The original coroner stood down after | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
the British government said the inquest was likely to present | :20:17. | :20:22. | |

wife of one man told how, in the confusion afterwards, his body was | :20:28. | :20:29. | |
placed in a mortuary with the terrorists. A lot of the relatives | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
spoke about the need to get truth and justice from this inquest, and | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
to hear from all of the parties concerned, including the British and | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
own cheery and garments. The wife of one man said she had been tortured I | :20:43. | :20:47. | |

A child cancer specialist has admitted a series of sexual assaults | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
Dr Myles Bradbury, who worked at Addenbrooke's Hospital | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
in Cambridge, pleaded guilty to 25 offences at Cambridge Crown Court. | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
Let's speak to our correspondent Jordan Davies. | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
What was the court told? Dr Myles Bradbury stared straight ahead today | :21:09. | :21:19. | |
as he pleaded guilty to 25 sexual offences on young boys in his care, | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
some as young as 11. These offences included sexual assault, voyeurism | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
and making over 16,000 indecent images. Dr Bradbury has been | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
released on bail, and as he walked past reporters today, he muttered, I | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
am sorry. He was a blood cancer specialist at Addenbrooke's Hospital | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
in Cambridge. He was suspended after a complaint was made about his | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
behaviour. Today, he pleaded guilty to 25 sexual offences. The judge | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
asked for a psychiatric evaluation. He said, the court will wish to | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
understand how this pattern of behaviour has developed. Dr Myles | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
Bradbury will have to sign the sex offenders register. He will be | :22:03. | :22:03. | |
sentenced at a later date. Now we're often being told to make | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
sure we have one - but it seems that half of all adults | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
between the age of 18 and 60 still don't have a pension - with millions | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
saying they simply can't afford it. That's according to | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
a survey commissioned for the It also found that one in five | :22:17. | :22:18. | |
adults don't trust pension firms. We are on a trip to the seaside, and | :22:19. | :22:33. | |
where better to start than a pensioners' pub? Our survey | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
suggested around half British workers do not have a pension, and | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
four out of ten say it is because they cannot afford it. People like | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
Adam, a trainee hair colour technician, one ?500 a month. Saving | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
up for a pension, putting money aside each month, just is not | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
feasible. Our study asked people why they had not taken out a pension. | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
11% said they would rather have the money today. Katie is 26 and on the | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
minimum wage, as a carer. I am still doing my studying, so it is not | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
beneficial to me to pay into a pension at the moment. The | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
Government is trying to change that with auto enrolment, but they have | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
got a job on their hands, because one in five of us do not trust | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
pension companies. We have got to get millions of people into a | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
pension at all, and then we have got to build on the basic minimum level. | :23:26. | :23:32. | |
8% of your celery, for most people, will not get you a comfortable | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
retirement. One in five people survey said they were investing in | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
something other than a pension. This mobile delicatessen owner explained | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
that he has opted for a buy to let. I am so employed. I do events and | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
weddings and things. I do not think the return that you will get will be | :23:52. | :24:00. | |
valid, from a pension. In Southampton there is a really high | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
student population, and it is right in the centre of town, it is a | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
wicked location, it is always going to rent, no matter what. As we go | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
down the promenade, time for some words of warning about what the | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
future could hold. Younger people will know that when they get to | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
retirement, the state pension is going to be around ?20 a day. Now, | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
if you think you will be happy living on ?20 a day for the rest of | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
your life, when you have reached retirement, fine, do not do | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
anything. But if you think you might want more, to have a decent | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
lifestyle, then unless you do some saving now, you will not have any | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
money coming in from that pension later. Taking the plunge and putting | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
money into a pension plan might not be everyone's choice, but one thing | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
is for certain - when it comes to keeping our heads above water, when | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
we retire, we will all have to plan ahead. | :24:57. | :25:07. | |
Viewers in England can see that report in | :25:08. | :25:09. | |
full on Inside Out tonight at 7.30, here on BBC One. | :25:10. | :25:11. | |
Europe's Rosetta space mission, which aims to land | :25:12. | :25:13. | |
on a comet later this year, has identified what it thinks is | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
The ice mountain known as 67P is highly irregular in shape, with deep | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
Scientists say they have found a relatively smooth region, | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
but are under no illusions how difficult the task will be. | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
Our science correspondent Pallab Ghosh has the details. | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
Oddly-shaped, cratered and craggy, the comet that the Rosetta | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
spacecraft will land a probe on in just a few weeks time. | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
These close-up pictures show that its surface has jagged cliffs | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
and rather than having a flat surface on which to land, | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
Many areas are strewn with boulders, they look like small grains of rice, | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
Later this morning, the Rosetta team will announce where | :26:02. | :26:10. | |
on this inhospitable surface it plans to set down. | :26:11. | :26:20. | |
The area chosen is relatively flat and fairly free of boulders, but | :26:21. | :26:30. | |
still precarious. There are some cliffs and boulders, and in the end, | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
this turned out to be the best place, but even here, as you can | :26:35. | :26:35. | |
see, the risk is high. Even if the lander, called Philae, | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
does set down safely, there is little gravity on the comet, so what | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
is to stop it from flying off? The idea is that once Philae lands | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
on the surface, it will fire it into the surface | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
and latch onto the comet. This is the latest photograph | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
taken by Rosetta. This comic is a small body, we have | :26:56. | :27:18. | |
only just seen over the last two weeks images of where we are going | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
to land, and we have had to make all of the calculations so quickly. So | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
this is the most difficult thing that space scientists have ever | :27:27. | :27:27. | |
tried to do. This is the latest photograph | :27:28. | :27:28. | |
taken by Rosetta. Its solar wing glistening | :27:29. | :27:30. | |

turns 30 today, making him eligible for an estimated ?10 million from | :27:49. | :27:54. | |
his late mother's estate. He thanked everyone who helped to put together | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
the Invictus Games, then started his birthday celebrations at the closing | :27:58. | :27:59. | |
ceremony. Time for a look at the weather, | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
with Nina Ridge. It was a rather grey, murky start, | :28:05. | :28:16. | |
once again, but things are brightening up nicely. On the | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
satellite picture, you can see the clearer skies. But there is thick | :28:22. | :28:26. | |
cloud further north and east. There is some rain across north-east | :28:27. | :28:31. | |
England and Scotland. There has been a week feature which has been moving | :28:32. | :28:37. | |
through the North Sea, causing this. That will stay for the rest of the | :28:38. | :28:40. | |
day across north-east England and parts of Scotland. The north-west | :28:41. | :28:45. | |
corner is getting some sunshine as well. Temperatures here reaching | :28:46. | :28:58. | |
around 15. A little bit cloudy through the afternoon for Northern | :28:59. | :29:01. | |
Ireland, where there is the risk of the odd shower. Heading south, a | :29:02. | :29:05. | |
better chance of seeing some brighter skies, with some sunshine | :29:06. | :29:08. | |
breaking through. That might just trigger the odd shower. Not too many | :29:09. | :29:14. | |
expected across southern parts of Wales and southern England. Through | :29:15. | :29:21. | |
this evening and overnight tonight, we have still got this area of cloud | :29:22. | :29:25. | |
and rain which is moving through Scotland, heading up into the | :29:26. | :29:31. | |
Northern Isles. Elsewhere, tonight should be mainly dry. It could be | :29:32. | :29:34. | |
turning quite misty and murky. Another grey start to Tuesday | :29:35. | :29:42. | |
morning. So, fairly overcast first thing tomorrow morning. Come the | :29:43. | :29:47. | |
afternoon, we will see the skies brightening up, with some sunshine | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
breaking through. More likely to stay cooler and more cloudy towards | :29:53. | :29:57. | |
the north-east. With that afternoon sunshine comes the small risk of a | :29:58. | :30:06. | |
shower. Around the middle part of the week, it will stay fairly cool | :30:07. | :30:12. | |
to the north-east, but some warmth arriving for southern and western | :30:13. | :30:18. | |
areas, a little bit humid as well. That will bring it the risk of some | :30:19. | :30:24. | |
potentially thundery showers on Wednesday afternoon. Always staying | :30:25. | :30:32. | |
more cool and cloudy towards the north-east of the UK. | :30:33. | :30:59. | |
