:01:56. > :01:57.Parliament is expected to be recalled

:01:58. > :02:00.on Friday to discuss the prospect of British airstrikes against fighters

:02:01. > :02:05.David Cameron, who's in New York, is expected to receive

:02:06. > :02:09.a formal request for help from the Iraqi Prime Minister when they meet

:02:10. > :02:14.Mr Cameron has already warned that Britain can't

:02:15. > :02:20.The Labour leader Ed Miliband said he'd want UN backing

:02:21. > :02:22.before intervening in Syria, but said he hadn't ruled out

:02:23. > :02:28.A new wave of US-led air-strikes have reportedly taken place

:02:29. > :02:32.against IS fighters in Syria, close to the Turkish border.

:02:33. > :02:42.Let's hear first from our security correspondent Frank Gardner.

:02:43. > :02:47.Targeting the forces of so-called Islamic State. This aerial footage

:02:48. > :02:51.released by the US military shows some of the 200 coalition air

:02:52. > :02:56.strikes in Syria hitting the jihadists' headquarters, barracks

:02:57. > :02:59.and training camps. Britain did not take part, but the primaries to

:03:00. > :03:04.hinted that it may do in the near future. This is a fight you cannot

:03:05. > :03:08.opt out of. These people want to kill us. They have got us in their

:03:09. > :03:14.sights and we have to put together this coalition, working with all

:03:15. > :03:17.those countries I mentioned to make sure we ultimately destroy this evil

:03:18. > :03:21.organisation. Parliament is widely expected to be recalled this week to

:03:22. > :03:26.debate the issue. There is cautious political backing for Britain to

:03:27. > :03:32.join the air strikes, but an Islamic State positions in Iraq, not Syria.

:03:33. > :03:37.The international coalition against IS is building. These are Australian

:03:38. > :03:41.attack jets arriving at a UAE air base in Dubai. Five Arab countries

:03:42. > :03:46.have taken part in the air strikes, with others offering discreet

:03:47. > :03:50.logistical support. Their governments so the jihadists as a

:03:51. > :03:52.serious threat. Not all their populations will agree, but there is

:03:53. > :03:57.no disputing the worsening humanitarian crisis boost by IS

:03:58. > :04:03.advances towards the Syrian Turkish border. Well over 100,000 Syrian

:04:04. > :04:08.Kurds have become refugees, fleeing into Turkey were bodyguards are

:04:09. > :04:11.struggling to control the exodus. Homeless and frightened, they will

:04:12. > :04:15.be facing winter within weeks. Kurdish forces, seen here fighting,

:04:16. > :04:19.said that since the air strikes, IS militants have stepped up the

:04:20. > :04:24.pressure on the border town of Kobani, reinforcing themselves with

:04:25. > :04:28.tanks and troops. We have to make sure the Syrian people are taken

:04:29. > :04:32.care of. We have seen the latest figures about the humanitarian

:04:33. > :04:38.situation. They are very worrisome. I don't need to put the numbers, but

:04:39. > :04:43.there are 11 million people in need in Syria. At the United Nations,

:04:44. > :04:45.much of the talk today is about how to defeat so-called Islamic State.

:04:46. > :04:50.More than 50 countries have signed up to the coalition against it,

:04:51. > :04:57.although Iran, a regional giant, has called the air strikes illegal. The

:04:58. > :05:02.US has warned that this campaign could take years. Britain's role in

:05:03. > :05:06.it is still being decided. A former Attorney General says air strikes in

:05:07. > :05:10.Iraq would be legal, but in Syria, less so. By Friday, it should become

:05:11. > :05:13.clear if Britain will join in and take on a full combat role. Frank

:05:14. > :05:19.Gardner, BBC News. In a moment, we do speak to our

:05:20. > :05:23.correspondent in Baghdad and at the United Nations in New York. First,

:05:24. > :05:28.our political correspondent at Westminster. Parliament will

:05:29. > :05:33.probably be recalled on Friday. What support will David Cameron have for

:05:34. > :05:37.air strikes? I think support will be broad and cross-party. Behind the

:05:38. > :05:40.scenes for weeks, there has been a lot of discussion between party

:05:41. > :05:44.leaders to ensure that support is there. David Cameron does not want

:05:45. > :05:48.to risk another Commons defeat on foreign policy of the sort he

:05:49. > :05:54.experienced last year over Syria. But the mood now is very different

:05:55. > :05:58.to what it was then. There is a grim determination to tackle Islamic

:05:59. > :06:03.State in any way that Britain can, joining the international effort.

:06:04. > :06:07.When this does come to a vote, I think the government will get its

:06:08. > :06:12.way. Critical to this is the Labour Party. Labour opposed the government

:06:13. > :06:16.last year over Syria. This time, they seem to be on board. Ed

:06:17. > :06:21.Miliband today said it was possible that they would back the government

:06:22. > :06:24.in terms of air strikes on Iraq on IS. But he raised an interesting

:06:25. > :06:30.question over whether that would extend to Syria. There is a big Bury

:06:31. > :06:33.over whether the government's motion would include Syria. I don't think

:06:34. > :06:41.it will -- there was a big JEERING over it. We expect the recall of

:06:42. > :06:48.Parliament to happen imminently. And Laura Trevelyan is that the UN in

:06:49. > :06:51.New York. It David Cameron deliberately choosing the UN as his

:06:52. > :06:55.site for making a statement about expected air strikes? I don't know

:06:56. > :06:59.if he will use his speech tonight to the United Nations General Assembly

:07:00. > :07:03.to specifically say that Britain is taking part in air strikes. That

:07:04. > :07:07.seems more likely to come in front of the British Parliament. But he

:07:08. > :07:11.does have a key meeting at the United Nations in New York. He is

:07:12. > :07:14.going to meet the Iraqi Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi. The

:07:15. > :07:18.expectation is that Iraq's Prime Minister will invite Britain to be

:07:19. > :07:21.part of this coalition of action against Islamic State. That could

:07:22. > :07:27.then give Britain the green light and legal backing to take part in

:07:28. > :07:33.air strikes against Islamic State. That is what they think could hinge

:07:34. > :07:36.on when it comes to Britain's participation in air strikes. And

:07:37. > :07:43.Lyse Doucet in Baghdad, what difference would probable British

:07:44. > :07:46.air strikes make on the ground? For those here who support a British

:07:47. > :07:50.role in the US-led collision, and there are many, they point to

:07:51. > :07:54.Britain's long history in the region. It has understanding of

:07:55. > :07:57.Iraqi culture and British forces have worked before with the Iraqi

:07:58. > :08:04.military, playing a role in training and intelligence gathering. For the

:08:05. > :08:07.Iraqi power minister, who spent decades living and working in

:08:08. > :08:11.Britain, he sees Britain being involved not just in military might,

:08:12. > :08:17.but also political prestige and giving legitimacy to yet another

:08:18. > :08:21.foreign intervention in Iraq. But this is still a deeply divided

:08:22. > :08:26.society and powerful Shi'ite militias in these physical factions

:08:27. > :08:32.staged protests here last week against another US intervention

:08:33. > :08:35.here. There are also Sunni tribal groups who remain suspicious of the

:08:36. > :08:39.government. So despite the fact that there are millions of Iraqis who

:08:40. > :08:43.fear the rise of the so-called Islamic State, including the

:08:44. > :08:46.possibility of them coming to Baghdad, they also fear violence by

:08:47. > :08:53.other groups here. And there is of course the constant possibility of

:08:54. > :08:58.any errant air strikes. Thank you to all of you. You can

:08:59. > :08:59.keep up-to-date on all the elements at the UN throughout the afternoon

:09:00. > :09:02.and evening on the BBC News Channel. The Labour leader, Ed Miliband, has

:09:03. > :09:04.insisted the economy is "incredibly He was responding to criticism that

:09:05. > :09:09.he forgot the section of his conference speech

:09:10. > :09:11.about the budget deficit. The Chancellor, George Osborne,

:09:12. > :09:14.said the lapse was "extraordinary". Today, the Shadow Health Secretary,

:09:15. > :09:19.Andy Burnham, will give more details Our Political Correspondent Chris

:09:20. > :09:34.Mason reports. The talk here today is about Ed

:09:35. > :09:44.Miliband's speech, what was in it and what wasn't. Cheers. So here it

:09:45. > :09:50.is, the text of Ed Miliband's speech. If you do one of these no

:09:51. > :09:53.notes routines, the danger is that you forget stuff. And if the stuff

:09:54. > :09:57.you forget is the deficit and immigration, people will notice. It

:09:58. > :10:01.is not something I would do. I prefer to have notes in front of me.

:10:02. > :10:07.And of course, it was a glaring omission. And so never interviewed

:10:08. > :10:14.this morning, the questioning went something like this. The deficit -

:10:15. > :10:18.did you forget that paragraph? The way I prepare these speeches is that

:10:19. > :10:24.I write a speech... But with the deficit paragraph... Did you forget

:10:25. > :10:27.it? I did not do one part of the speech. How high on your list of

:10:28. > :10:32.priorities is the deficit he forgot it? Incredibly high, because Ed

:10:33. > :10:35.Balls set out on Monday a clear plan for how we will get the deficit

:10:36. > :10:40.down, how we will get the national debt falling, how we will have the

:10:41. > :10:44.current budget in surplus and how we will have no proposals in our

:10:45. > :10:48.manifesto for additional borrowing. He was the bid he did not forget.

:10:49. > :10:51.Labour is offering an extra ?2.5 billion a year for the health

:10:52. > :10:55.service in England. The Conservatives say it went up by more

:10:56. > :10:59.than that last year anyway. The annual budget is 113 billion. The

:11:00. > :11:03.Shadow Health Secretary is also promising more rights for family

:11:04. > :11:07.carers and making it easier for terminally ill people to choose to

:11:08. > :11:15.die at home. An NHS that put people before profit, an NHS that cares for

:11:16. > :11:25.the carers, an NHS that is there for your mum and dad. An NHS with time

:11:26. > :11:28.to care, an NHS for all of you. It is the health service that fires up

:11:29. > :11:34.activists here, but as they head home bomber some fret over whether

:11:35. > :11:36.Ed Miliband has what it takes to get Labour back into government. Chris

:11:37. > :11:46.Mason, BBC News, in Manchester. Our system political editor Norman

:11:47. > :11:51.Smith is in Manchester for us. Has the conference been overshadowed by

:11:52. > :11:55.Ed Miliband's loss of memory? Well, Labour wanted to date to be all

:11:56. > :12:00.about their big plans for the NHS. Instead, it is all about that

:12:01. > :12:06.disappearing word. This party knows it is a significant blow. I was

:12:07. > :12:09.getting a lift to my hotel would Labour Party delegates, and even

:12:10. > :12:14.they were going, oh dear. They know in their bones that it is a real

:12:15. > :12:20.blunder. Why? Not just because it is an absolute gift to Mr Miliband's

:12:21. > :12:23.opponents, who can now rush out posted at the next election, saying

:12:24. > :12:27.Ed Miliband, the man who forgot about the deficit, but more because

:12:28. > :12:31.one of the central aims of Mr Miliband at this conference was to

:12:32. > :12:35.try and reassure voters that Labour could be trusted on the economy.

:12:36. > :12:40.Although he says, I have made loads of speeches this week about the

:12:41. > :12:43.deficit and so has Ed Balls, this was his keynote, Prime Minister in

:12:44. > :12:47.waiting speech, and he neglected to mention what is perhaps the biggest

:12:48. > :12:54.issue facing any government coming into office. Many people will regard

:12:55. > :12:59.that as a political howler. He insists that it is just one of the

:13:00. > :13:03.perils of giving a speech without notes. My gut instinct is that next

:13:04. > :13:06.year, we will see the return of the autocue with a vengeance.

:13:07. > :13:08.The radical Muslim cleric Abu Qatada has been cleared of terrorism

:13:09. > :13:13.Judges there said there was "insufficient evidence" that he was

:13:14. > :13:16.involved in a plot to target Jordan's millennium celebrations.

:13:17. > :13:20.Abu Qatada was deported from the UK in 2013.

:13:21. > :13:22.He was freed from prison this morning -

:13:23. > :13:25.ministers here say there's no chance of him returning to the UK.

:13:26. > :13:31.Our Home Affairs correspondent June Kelly sent this report.

:13:32. > :13:36.This report contains flash photography. In Britain, he was

:13:37. > :13:41.branded a threat to national security. In the cage-like dog of

:13:42. > :13:45.Jordan's state security court, where he has been on trial on terrorism

:13:46. > :13:50.charges, this was finally verdict today for Abu Qatada. As the

:13:51. > :13:59.civilian judges announced that they had found him not guilty, the court

:14:00. > :14:05.erupted. His many sisters and brothers have followed this case

:14:06. > :14:12.from the start. And one of his lawyers, there was a kiss. He has

:14:13. > :14:15.been cleared of conspiring in a plot which was thwarted to target Western

:14:16. > :14:21.and Israeli interests in Jordan 15 years ago. The judges ruled that the

:14:22. > :14:26.evidence was too weak to convicted. His son told reporters, we were

:14:27. > :14:30.hopeful, and Baxter Allah for granting us what we asked for. That

:14:31. > :14:35.has been an international legal marathon was the Abu Qatada took his

:14:36. > :14:38.case through every British court and then on to Europe as he fought

:14:39. > :14:43.against being sent back here to face these charges. He has now been

:14:44. > :14:48.declared an innocent man. Theresa May led the drive to deport the

:14:49. > :14:51.radical cleric. The UK courts here were clear that Abu Qatada posed a

:14:52. > :14:55.threat to our national security. That was why we were pleased as a

:14:56. > :14:59.government to be able to remove him from the UK. He is subject to a

:15:00. > :15:05.deportation order and a UN travel ban. That means he will not return

:15:06. > :15:09.to the UK. Our still a supporter of Al-Qaeda, he has railed against

:15:10. > :15:13.Islamic State and condemned the kidnapping of Western journalists

:15:14. > :15:17.and aid workers like Alan Henning. It was a view repeated today by his

:15:18. > :15:27.lawyers. He said that this is not from Islam, this work. Is he saying

:15:28. > :15:32.that Alan Henning should be food? - freed? Yes. The man himself once

:15:33. > :15:38.denounced as a truly dangerous individual was taken back to prison

:15:39. > :15:49.for some formalities. Later, he was released. Abu Qatada is now a free

:15:50. > :15:55.man in his home country. What happens next?

:15:56. > :15:59.Well, he (as in a short time ago and was greeted by a number of family

:16:00. > :16:07.members, including his father. He got down on the ground and kissed it

:16:08. > :16:12.as a mark of respect. He will be united with his children, some of

:16:13. > :16:20.whom were born in the UK. Theresa May was asked this morning whether

:16:21. > :16:24.she regretted treating him as a terrorist subject, given this

:16:25. > :16:30.acquittal. She said, not at all. The due process of law had to take place

:16:31. > :16:35.in Jordan. Of course, the British government succeeded in their prime

:16:36. > :16:41.aim, which was to get him on a plane out of here so he ceased to be a

:16:42. > :16:47.British problem. On this business of his comments regarding Islamic

:16:48. > :16:53.State, he does not support fellow air strikes against Muslims.

:16:54. > :16:55.Trinity Mirror - the group behind the Daily Mirror,

:16:56. > :16:58.Sunday Mirror and Sunday People - has said for the first time that

:16:59. > :17:00.some of its journalists were involved in phone hacking.

:17:01. > :17:03.It's admitted liability to four people, and said it had settled

:17:04. > :17:08.Well, with me is our correspondent, Matt Prodger.

:17:09. > :17:18.This is the first time we've had an admission of hacking beyond News of

:17:19. > :17:23.the World. Yes, that was where the principal focus was. That's not to

:17:24. > :17:28.say we did not believe it was happening elsewhere. One person who

:17:29. > :17:31.was convicted, a man called Dan Evans, for example, is thought to a

:17:32. > :17:38.packed hundreds of phones while working for the Sunday Mirror. Now,

:17:39. > :17:43.the publishers of the Sunday Mirror admitting liability in four cases.

:17:44. > :17:54.Shane Ritchie, Shobna Gulati, Lucy Benjamin and Alan Yentob.

:17:55. > :18:03.He is the creative director of the BBC. It has also settled six further

:18:04. > :18:06.claims, including former England football manager Sven

:18:07. > :18:12.Goran-Eriksson. And there are a further 19 people either already

:18:13. > :18:18.suing them or intending to do so, including Cilla Black. What we are

:18:19. > :18:22.seeing is the civil courts, not a police investigation, breaching the

:18:23. > :18:28.defences of a national newspaper publisher. That's not to say there

:18:29. > :18:32.is no police investigation, there has been one into Trinity Mirror

:18:33. > :18:38.since September. It interviewed Piers Morgan, former editor, in

:18:39. > :18:43.February. And rumbling away in the background there is a further trial

:18:44. > :18:47.involving dozens of journalists, most of them from Rupert Murdoch's

:18:48. > :18:48.tabloid newspapers. That is proceeding in the background to all

:18:49. > :18:52.of this. Parliament is likely to be recalled

:18:53. > :18:57.on Friday to vote on whether Britain should join air strikes

:18:58. > :19:02.against Islamic State. Deadlocked for 29 kicks -

:19:03. > :19:06.the shoot out that became penalty World War II veterans gather

:19:07. > :19:13.at Biggin Hill to remember the Battle of Britain

:19:14. > :19:16.and honour female fighter pilots. And phone-hacking at the theatre -

:19:17. > :19:19.we speak to the cast of a new Nicola Sturgeon has launched her bid

:19:20. > :19:35.to replace Alex Salmond At the moment,

:19:36. > :19:39.she's the party's deputy leader and Mr Salmond announced he was stepping

:19:40. > :19:43.down after Scotland rejected independence

:19:44. > :19:45.in last week's referendum. Speaking in Glasgow,

:19:46. > :19:48.Ms Sturgeon said she was committed to working towards more powers

:19:49. > :19:50.for Holyrood, and to putting Here's our Scotland

:19:51. > :20:09.correspondent Laura Bicker. She has waited in the wings long

:20:10. > :20:14.enough. Nicola Sturgeon, after a decade as deputy, has now bid to

:20:15. > :20:17.become leader of her party and the First Minister of Scotland. She

:20:18. > :20:24.joked about filling Alex Salmond's shoes, but when it came to fighting

:20:25. > :20:29.for more powers for Scotland there were stern words. This package will

:20:30. > :20:34.be something near to federalism. Let me say this to Westminster on behalf

:20:35. > :20:38.of Scotland: It had better be. If the UK parties move forward in that

:20:39. > :20:43.spirit, they will have in me a willing partner for progress. If

:20:44. > :20:49.not, they will pay a heavy political price. She is the clear favourite to

:20:50. > :20:53.win the top job and may not even face any rivals, although it is

:20:54. > :20:59.right -- it is likely there will be a contest for the deputy leadership.

:21:00. > :21:04.Glasgow voted yes in the referendum, one of the few places to do so. In

:21:05. > :21:08.her bid for leadership, Nicola Sturgeon refused to rule out a

:21:09. > :21:13.future independence referendum. But she made her priorities clear. She

:21:14. > :21:20.wants to unite yes and no boaters in what she described as a majority for

:21:21. > :21:24.change, to bring more powers to the Scottish Government. Her opponents

:21:25. > :21:28.say they will deliver for Hollywood. The Scottish plan is one that will

:21:29. > :21:34.be delivered unconnected to anything else. It has to be connected in its

:21:35. > :21:40.own terms whether or not we make progress on any other issue. Note --

:28:10. > :28:13.north-westerly breeze. We have had a few showers already across parts of

:28:14. > :28:18.East Anglia and south-east England, but these are swinging over to the

:28:19. > :28:25.continent now. This whether Frank continues to move over towards

:28:26. > :28:29.France. Behind that for most of us, a fine afternoon. South-west England

:28:30. > :28:36.and South Wales will be the sunniest, temperatures here getting

:28:37. > :28:41.up to 19, possibly 20 degrees. One or two isolated showers left across

:28:42. > :28:44.eastern England. The cloud across Northern Ireland at the moment

:28:45. > :28:48.should continue to them and break up. In northern Scotland, one or two

:28:49. > :28:58.showers on that brisk breeze but also a lot of dried red -- dry

:28:59. > :29:02.weather. Outbreaks of rain arrived tonight in the north but further

:29:03. > :29:06.south in England and Wales we keep the clear spells. That means an

:29:07. > :29:11.aural areas, temperatures could get down to two or three Celsius in the

:29:12. > :29:15.coldest spots. Thursday will be quite breezy, a change in the

:29:16. > :29:21.weather across the North West, with outbreaks of rain. Some of the rain

:29:22. > :29:25.could jump into the Pennines and Yorkshire before moving out of the

:29:26. > :29:30.way. After a largely sunny start of the day in the south, things will

:29:31. > :29:35.tend to cloud over. Still into the upper teens the most areas, possibly

:29:36. > :29:40.up to 23 degrees in parts of Aberdeenshire and the north-east of

:29:41. > :29:44.Wales and Cheshire. Thursday night becomes even windier. Gales develop

:29:45. > :29:49.across the north west of the British Isles. This cold front pushes

:29:50. > :29:55.southwards on Friday bringing a lot of cloud across England and Wales.

:29:56. > :29:58.But brighter weather moves in from the North through the day, so we

:29:59. > :30:06.should see some sunshine to end the day. It is the start of the Ryder

:30:07. > :30:12.Cup and there is a risk of a spot of rain to start on Friday. But what

:30:13. > :30:18.they will mostly notice is those gusts of wind as they start to play.

:30:19. > :30:22.This weekend, lots of dry weather around, but often pretty cloudy,

:30:23. > :30:26.sometimes with the odd spot of drizzle. Equally, there will be some

:30:27. > :30:32.bright sunny spells. Temperatures just a above average. That's how the

:30:33. > :30:39.weather is shaping up. Now a reminder of our top story this

:30:56. > :31:01.on Friday to vote on whether Britain should get involved. David Cameron

:31:02. > :31:05.is in New York. This is a fight you cannot opt out of. These people want

:31:06. > :31:07.to kill us, they've got us in their sights and we need to put together

:31:08. > :31:10.this coalition.
