:03:58. > :04:03.spelt out in graphic terms the threat both at home and abroad. Isil
:04:04. > :04:08.is a terrorist organisation and my close we have dealt with before. The
:04:09. > :04:13.brutality is staggering. The headings, crucifixions, gouging out
:04:14. > :04:17.of eyes, the use of rape as a weapon, slaughter of children. All
:04:18. > :04:24.these things belong to the dark ages. Ten minutes in, worries were
:04:25. > :04:31.raised. To questions he has not put to himself, how long will the wall
:04:32. > :04:36.last and when will Mission Creep start? This is going to be a mission
:04:37. > :04:43.that will take not just months but years. Will what the Prime Minister
:04:44. > :04:51.and the Government is proposing, will that be effective in destroying
:04:52. > :04:56.Isil? Look at what the House of Commons agreed to - Iraq,
:04:57. > :05:01.Afghanistan, Libya. None are success stories. Outside, anti-war
:05:02. > :05:05.protesters gathered. Not many but the last Iraq war is left millions
:05:06. > :05:10.sceptical about the case made for conflict. Back in the chamber, the
:05:11. > :05:17.Prime Minister pleaded, this time things are different. This is not
:05:18. > :05:22.2003. We must not use past mistakes as indifference or inaction. The
:05:23. > :05:26.Labour leader is supporting the government but is sceptical about
:05:27. > :05:38.bombing in Syria. In my view, or me are not talking about being invited
:05:39. > :05:44.in, it would be better to seek a UN Security Council invitation. This is
:05:45. > :05:51.the highest multilateral body in the world. There was support by the
:05:52. > :05:59.Archbishop of Canterbury but he said: We must face the fact that
:06:00. > :06:08.attractions of jihadists outweigh materialism of a consumer society in
:06:09. > :06:17.some cases. Will it be Syria next, at what cost and when will this end?
:06:18. > :06:21.This morning, the Foreign Secretary said that initially just 6 RAF
:06:22. > :06:25.Tornado jets will take part in air strikes against Islamic State
:06:26. > :06:30.fighters in Iraq, assuming the House of Commons approves that military
:06:31. > :06:32.action tonight. The Jets will be based in Cyprus, from where our
:06:33. > :06:39.defence correspondent sent this report. US led air strikes inside
:06:40. > :06:45.Syria. They were helped by warplanes from the United Arab area -- United
:06:46. > :06:50.Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. This is not just the West against Islamic
:06:51. > :06:55.state. These images show the target. Smoke rising from oil
:06:56. > :06:58.refineries in eastern Syria. It is not just about hitting extremist
:06:59. > :07:06.strongholds but also their sources of funding. Britain 's contribution
:07:07. > :07:12.so far has been limited. Tornado is now based in Cyprus have already
:07:13. > :07:17.been flying over Iraq. We saw them over a few willing tanker last month
:07:18. > :07:23.as they carried out reconnaissance. They are expected to be directly
:07:24. > :07:30.engaged in the fight against Isil. For now, it will be a mission in
:07:31. > :07:34.Iraq. There are many aspects of the campaign, many things we can do to
:07:35. > :07:38.support the fight against Isil. We have not yet made the decision as to
:07:39. > :07:43.whether it'll be appropriate for Britain to join in air strikes in
:07:44. > :07:46.Syria, whether there is a contribution that Britain can
:07:47. > :07:50.sensibly make. If we did come to that conclusion, we would come back
:07:51. > :07:54.to Parliament and have another debate. British warplanes in Cyprus
:07:55. > :07:59.are preparing themselves for a lengthy campaign, one that could
:08:00. > :08:09.last months or even years. Six Tornado jets based here are now
:08:10. > :08:14.ready for combat. Laser guided bombs and missiles already in place. This
:08:15. > :08:20.is more than a month after America first launched its air strikes.
:08:21. > :08:25.There are far fewer warplanes. This will be a show of solidarity much as
:08:26. > :08:33.a show of force. Britain does have other firepower. At sea, the Royal
:08:34. > :08:36.Navy submarine, HMS Talent, is believed to be nearby loaded with
:08:37. > :08:42.cruise missiles. British special forces are also believed to be in
:08:43. > :08:46.the region. This is unlikely to be a high tempo campaign. Britain follows
:08:47. > :08:49.France, whose jets have already carried out strikes limited to
:08:50. > :08:55.France. They launched their 1st attack a week ago, the 2nd was only
:08:56. > :08:59.in the last 24 hours. As the extremists adapt, it will be harder
:09:00. > :09:07.to target them on the ground. That is where this bite will have to be
:09:08. > :09:12.one. -- this fight. During the last conflict in Iraq, there was a lot of
:09:13. > :09:16.public opposition to Britain getting involved in military action. Latest
:09:17. > :09:19.opinion polls suggest public support for airstrikes is in fact rising.
:09:20. > :09:26.Our correspondent has been finding out more. In just over 6 weeks,
:09:27. > :09:32.public opinion has moved significantly in favour of air
:09:33. > :09:37.strikes on IS, according to the latest YouGov poll. In Luton, near
:09:38. > :09:42.the central mosque, that opinion is endorsed in 1 business owner. If it
:09:43. > :09:47.is threatening innocent people 's lives, of course, military action is
:09:48. > :09:53.necessary. In high streets across the country, the mood in the UK
:09:54. > :09:57.carries on as before. The mood around possible military action is
:09:58. > :10:02.palpably different. Many think this is because of the execution of
:10:03. > :10:07.Western captives. Video is released threatening the lives of hostages.
:10:08. > :10:13.We spoke to some people on the streets of Newcastle. I think it has
:10:14. > :10:17.to be stopped now because, what will happen in the future? What will
:10:18. > :10:22.happen to my grandchildren and great-grandchildren? We need to
:10:23. > :10:29.help. Simple as. Everyone else is. I do not believe in war unless
:10:30. > :10:35.completely necessary. I think it is a bit of a risk for the country.
:10:36. > :10:39.Opponents of military action gathered outside Downing Street last
:10:40. > :10:44.night but today's vote would seem to be the final hurdle before British
:10:45. > :10:48.air strikes can begin. YouGov has been tracking public opinion on this
:10:49. > :10:52.for the past 8 weeks. It found that in early August, public opinion was
:10:53. > :11:01.divided on whether Britain should join U.S.-led action with just 37%
:11:02. > :11:08.in favour. A week later, that figure rose to 41% and by mid-September 54%
:11:09. > :11:13.of people supported air strikes. It is fresh week at 1 university in
:11:14. > :11:20.Cambridge. We spoke to some students to see what they thought. I think it
:11:21. > :11:25.is ridiculous. Really? Do you think it is ridiculous? Not really. We are
:11:26. > :11:29.just going to have another world war. There appears to be public
:11:30. > :11:34.support for military action at the moment. There are questions as to
:11:35. > :11:36.whether that support will continue military involvement escalates or
:11:37. > :11:43.stretches over several years. Public support is not a prerequisite. The
:11:44. > :11:54.strength of feeling can only influence the vote. Our assistant
:11:55. > :11:59.political editor, Norman Smith, has been listening to the debate which
:12:00. > :12:04.is ongoing. Tell us about the tone. Do not be confused by the fact that
:12:05. > :12:11.Mr Cameron will win a huge majority tonight. MPs are appalled at the
:12:12. > :12:15.barbarity of IS. They are voting on a motion which is very tightly
:12:16. > :12:22.drawn. It is specifically limited to airstrikes in Iraq. It will zap
:12:23. > :12:28.British boots on the ground. -- it rules out. I have been struck by the
:12:29. > :12:32.degree of apprehension, even trepidation, by MPs on all sides
:12:33. > :12:37.about where this will end up. In part, that is of course because of
:12:38. > :12:42.the shadow of Iraq. It does pose Mister Cameron with a problem in
:12:43. > :12:46.maintaining political consensus for this action. He is getting out a
:12:47. > :12:50.conflict which will last for years and years. He has said, future prime
:12:51. > :12:56.ministers after him would still be coming to the House of Commons to
:12:57. > :13:01.seek authorised action against Islamist extremism. But, more than
:13:02. > :13:06.that, I think, is the sense that trying to hold this consensus will
:13:07. > :13:10.prove very difficult if action needs to be taken against Syria. He
:13:11. > :13:14.clearly believes it may have to be done in Syria. Mr Miliband said he
:13:15. > :13:19.would only do that with UN authorisation. Already, you can see
:13:20. > :13:24.how that consensus could soon fracture. Thank you very much for
:13:25. > :13:29.now. More than 3 million people meanwhile have fled their homes in
:13:30. > :13:32.Syria and Iraq, escaping Islamic state fighters and the US-led air
:13:33. > :13:43.strikes. Our correspondent has been to 1 of the largest refugee camps in
:13:44. > :13:47.old in Iraq. This is a shelter for displaced Iraqis. You can see some
:13:48. > :13:50.of the residents have set up shops. They are selling fruit and

:14:55. > :15:02.Whoever comes to clear our district, we want to go back to our
:15:03. > :15:08.city and take our families back. TRANSLATION: War is bad. People are
:15:09. > :15:14.miserable and there is no work and no money. All the people are
:15:15. > :15:20.miserable. If they attack IS it will be good for all the people. People
:15:21. > :15:25.here are telling us they will not be able to go home and less IS is dealt
:15:26. > :15:29.with effectively. It is not clear whether airstrikes are going to
:15:30. > :15:36.achieve the results they want to see and how long this will all take.
:15:37. > :15:41.That was Yolande Knell. That is crossed our chief international
:15:42. > :15:47.correspondent Lyse Doucet, in Baghdad. If MPs here in London
:15:48. > :15:52.tonight vote for Britain to get involved, just give us a sense of
:15:53. > :15:56.effectively how that goes down with people where you are. Is there a
:15:57. > :16:02.sense among people that it will help? Certainly the Iraqi government
:16:03. > :16:05.is desperate need of urgent international assistance. They face
:16:06. > :16:10.nothing less than an end -- existential threat with the brutal
:16:11. > :16:13.Islamic State fighters controlling a quarter of Iraqi territory. Over the
:16:14. > :16:17.past week, speaking to prominent MPs, people on the streets of
:16:18. > :16:23.Baghdad, they say in particular that Britain has a lot to offer. It has
:16:24. > :16:27.had a long history in Iraq, it has done a lot in training and
:16:28. > :16:32.intelligence, but it is equally clear that in the same way that Iraq
:16:33. > :16:35.is divided militarily it is also deeply divided politically and some
:16:36. > :16:41.prominent Shi'ite clerics here, who have their own men under arms, have
:16:42. > :16:46.told us they do not want and do not need the return of the United States
:16:47. > :16:50.and Britain to Iraq. They point to a past involvement they say is very
:16:51. > :16:53.sinister and they believe that the Western powers are coming here with
:16:54. > :16:57.other intentions. I think the British public has to be mindful
:16:58. > :17:02.that there are military risks in this campaign and there are deep
:17:03. > :17:05.political risks as well. Lyse Doucet in Baghdad. The debate here at

:23:39. > :23:45.It had just started to rain and cameras saw her walking under
:23:46. > :23:50.this bridge but this is where the trail goes cold.
:23:51. > :23:53.CCTV had also picked her up at this point earlier on her walk,
:23:54. > :23:58.when she was followed 15 minutes later by Arnis Zalkalns, the man
:23:59. > :24:03.He too has vanished and Metropolitan Police have been to his native

:24:14. > :24:15.Well, I was teaching in the studio and I
:24:16. > :24:22.got a text just after 3pm from her, saying, what time will you be home?
:24:23. > :24:30.and that was it, that is the last time I had any contact with Alice.
:24:31. > :24:34.Every tree, every pole it seems has a yellow ribbon to keep
:24:35. > :24:47.But so far no one has been able to say where she might be.

:24:58. > :25:06.Our sports correspondent Andy Swiss is at Gleneagles.
:25:07. > :25:14.Yes, welcome to Gleneagles. Glorious conditions for the thousands of fans
:25:15. > :25:19.here. Most of them hoping for a European win, but the hosts have not
:25:20. > :25:25.had a very easy morning. As the sun started rising the fans started
:25:26. > :25:32.racing. The most perfect Perthshire morning even for the loudest of
:25:33. > :25:38.wake-up calls. This was the first hole, at early 7am. That is what the
:25:39. > :25:43.Ryder Cup does to people, a wall of noise, colour and anticipation.
:25:44. > :25:50.Unbelievable. Worth getting up in the middle of the night. Oh, it is,
:25:51. > :25:54.fun. Exciting. We got here early and I cannot believe the people here
:25:55. > :26:00.already. Listen to the crowd over there. What is it, 6:30am and it is
:26:01. > :26:04.packed, unbelievable. The decibel is soon doubled. Europe's Justin Rose
:26:05. > :26:15.and the US's Bubba Watson working the crowd to a frenzy as the Ryder
:26:16. > :26:20.Cup was moored under way. -- roared under way. The hosts settled the
:26:21. > :26:23.quick. Sergio Garcia with an early contender for shot of the day.
:26:24. > :26:30.COMMENTATOR: Fantastic! Europe seized the first
:26:31. > :26:35.point. Rose and Henrik Stenson emphatic win don't -- winners over
:26:36. > :26:40.Webb Simpson and Watson. Elsewhere, expectations were dampened. Ian
:26:41. > :26:45.Poulter, a picture of frustration as he and Stephen Gallacher were
:26:46. > :26:50.walloped by Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed. It was also a tricky
:26:51. > :26:55.moment for Rory McIlroy as his rivalry with Phil Mickelson produced
:26:56. > :26:59.the tensest of income encounters. It was not the only one. Thomas Bjorn
:27:00. > :27:03.rolling back the years but ultimately having to settle for half
:27:04. > :27:11.a point. The drama of the Ryder Cup has returned in style. So the latest
:27:12. > :27:16.score is currently Europe 1.5, USA, 1.5. Rory McIlroy's match going
:27:17. > :27:19.right down to the wire and strengthening winds could make life
:27:20. > :27:25.even more interesting this afternoon.
:27:26. > :27:28.Let's return to Westminster now - where MPs are continuing to debate
:27:29. > :27:33.air strikes against Islamic State in Iraq.
:27:34. > :27:40.That debate has some time to run yet. Let's talk to our assistant
:27:41. > :27:45.political editor, Norman Smith. Talk us through what happens from here on
:27:46. > :27:51.in. The debates will end at around 5pm. It will be concluded by the
:27:52. > :27:56.Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg. We are expecting 70 or so backbenchers
:27:57. > :28:01.to have spoken by then. They each have five minutes because so many
:28:02. > :28:05.want to take part in the debate. The final result will be around 5:15pm,
:28:06. > :28:10.I would suggest. The outcome is not in doubt. We know there will be a
:28:11. > :28:15.huge majority in favour of action. There may be 25 or so Labour MPs
:28:16. > :28:18.voting against, a smattering of Conservatives and Liberal Democrats.
:28:19. > :28:23.But all three party leaders are urging their MPs to support it. They
:28:24. > :28:30.are under a 3 line whip, ordering them to back this. This is just the
:28:31. > :28:33.first step in what is going to be a long, long campaign. It may prove
:28:34. > :28:37.much more difficult to get authority for action in the future, for
:28:38. > :28:43.example to extend those attacks to IS in Syria. Norman, thank you.
:28:44. > :28:46.There is continuing coverage. You can keep up-to-date with everything
:28:47. > :28:50.said on the BBC News channel throughout the afternoon, on BBC
:28:51. > :28:55.Parliament as well you can follow it there. Here at Westminster, let's
:28:56. > :28:56.find out what is happening on the weather front. Chris Fawkes can tell
:28:57. > :28:58.us about that. But all three party leaders are
:28:59. > :29:05.urging their MPs to support it. The satellite picture shows
:29:06. > :29:09.relatively clear, sunny skies across Northern Ireland and Scotland, but
:29:10. > :29:14.the sunshine is urging South. These are the weather fronts, a couple of
:29:15. > :29:17.lumps of cloud that have been working south-east across England
:29:18. > :29:21.and Wales. Those fronts are bashing into this area of high pressure.
:29:22. > :29:25.There is not much cloud left on the fronts. It means there is not much
:29:26. > :29:30.whether left either. A few showers, that is about the size of things.
:29:31. > :29:33.This afternoon some patchy cloud around across southern parts of
:29:34. > :29:36.England, the South Midlands, south Wales. Just about the South
:29:37. > :29:41.Midlands, south Wales. Just about thick enough to squeeze an odd light
:29:42. > :29:45.shower but that is about it. A lot of dry weather as well. When the
:29:46. > :29:48.sunshine comes out, reasonably warm, but a Scotland where we have
:29:49. > :29:53.blustery winds driving in heavy showers across northern parts. The
:29:54. > :29:57.forecast for the Ryder Cup, reasonable today, although with
:29:58. > :30:01.gusty winds. The winds get lighter through this weekend. There will be
:30:02. > :30:06.a lot of dry weather to come. Overnight tonight we will keep quite
:30:07. > :30:10.a bit of cloud across the south and we could see mist and fog patches
:30:11. > :30:14.developing. Some could be dense. The fog will be patchy nature. In the
:30:15. > :30:18.towns and cities especially cold but in the countryside is enormous
:30:19. > :30:22.contrasts in temperatures. Last night in Staffordshire, temperatures
:30:23. > :30:28.down to 14 Celsius. It could be cold enough for a pocket of frost in the
:30:29. > :30:31.coldest spots as we look at this night, with clear skies generally
:30:32. > :30:35.from North Wales and the Midlands northwards. A cold start for some
:30:36. > :30:39.for the weekend. A lot of dry weather to come. Watch out for early
:30:40. > :30:43.morning mist and fog patches, lifting into low cloud, with sunny
:30:44. > :30:48.spells on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday, mist and fog to start the
:30:49. > :30:53.day. Cloud lingering in the South before it breaks up. An odd isolated
:30:54. > :30:56.shower. By and large the weather will be pretty settled with some
:30:57. > :31:01.sunny spells coming through. Temperatures of 21 Celsius in
:31:02. > :31:05.London, 15 Celsius in Glasgow, which is close to the average for this
:31:06. > :31:09.time of year. On Saturday night weather fronts moving to Scotland,
:31:10. > :31:13.so changes here. More cloud around on Sunday with the threat of
:31:14. > :31:17.outbreaks of rain across the north and west of Scotland. Temperatures
:31:18. > :31:22.average. Elsewhere, sunny spells and temperatures above average. In
:31:23. > :31:27.London, 22 Celsius, four degrees warmer than it should be at this
:31:28. > :31:32.time of year. On the one side for the time being.
:31:33. > :31:34.Now a reminder of our top story this lunchtime.
:31:35. > :31:37.David Cameron tells MPs it's in the national interest to
:31:38. > :31:40.confront Islamic State militarily, as it is a threat to the streets
:31:41. > :31:41.of Britain - but he warned it would take years, not months.
