:00:14. > :00:16.Facing down the threat from Islamic State. David Cameron says British

:00:17. > :00:18.forces must be involved in the fight against the extremists.

:00:19. > :00:21.MPs are debating Britain's role in military action in Iraq now. The

:00:22. > :00:24.Prime Minister says it would be a campaign of "patience and

:00:25. > :00:32.persistence, not shock and awe". Opponents, though, say bombing will

:00:33. > :00:44.This is not a threat on the far side of the world. We will face a

:00:45. > :00:48.terrorist caliphate bordering a NATO member with a proven determination

:00:49. > :00:56.to attack our country and our people. Opponents say bombing will

:00:57. > :00:58.only worsen the situation in Iraq. Is bombing the way to resolve the

:00:59. > :01:01.problems in Iraq? RAF jets are standing in Cyprus to

:01:02. > :01:06.carry out their first missions against Islamic State forces. We'll

:01:07. > :01:09.be getting the latest from our defence correspondent who's there.

:01:10. > :01:12.And we'll be assessing the role and the impact of any British

:01:13. > :01:15.intervention. Also this lunchtime...

:01:16. > :01:17.UKIP's plans for a new rate of tax - to woo what it calls the

:01:18. > :01:21."blue-collar vote." The broadcaster Dave Lee Travis gets

:01:22. > :01:24.a three month suspended sentence for indecently assaulting a woman in

:01:25. > :01:28.1995. Police cordon off part of a park

:01:29. > :01:32.close to the spot where 14-year-old Alice Gross disappeared four weeks

:01:33. > :01:36.ago. And off to a good start. Europe take

:01:37. > :01:55.the first point as the Ryder Cup On BBC London: 2 more arrests in

:01:56. > :02:00.relation to Islamist related terrorism. A Surrey Hospital has

:02:01. > :02:16.been awarded the 1st outstanding rating in England.

:02:17. > :02:20.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:02:21. > :02:24.David Cameron says Britain will need to demonstrate "patience

:02:25. > :02:27.and persistence" in its efforts to tackle the group known as Islamic

:02:28. > :02:32.He's been setting out the case for British forces to carry out

:02:33. > :02:36.air-strikes in Iraq, saying Islamic militants, who he described as

:02:37. > :02:42."a bunch of psychopaths," pose a direct threat to the UK.

:02:43. > :02:46.MPs are expected to back the move this evening.

:02:47. > :02:49.Downing Street says a small number of British troops could be sent to

:02:50. > :02:53.Iraq as soon as tonight, although not in a combat role.

:02:54. > :03:05.Our political correspondent, Chris Mason, reports.

:03:06. > :03:12.It is the biggest question any national leader can be asked. It is

:03:13. > :03:16.the biggest decision any Prime Minister ever takes. MPs return to

:03:17. > :03:22.Westminster this morning to vote on British military action in Iraq. It

:03:23. > :03:27.is a vote commanding international attention on a day which could end

:03:28. > :03:33.with RAF bombing missions but began with debate. The Prime Minister...

:03:34. > :03:40.The question before the house today is how we keep the British people

:03:41. > :03:44.safe from the threat posed by Isil and what role our Armed Forces

:03:45. > :03:47.should play in the international coalition to dismantle and

:03:48. > :03:52.ultimately destroy what President Obama has rightly called this

:03:53. > :03:57.network of death. Is there a threat to the British people? David Cameron

: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

:13:51. > :13:58.vegetables and other things to eat. This man is smashing up some eyes.

:13:59. > :14:03.If you go through the awning, here the people have divided up the space

:14:04. > :14:07.into sleeping and living areas using this canvas they have got from the

:14:08. > :14:16.UN to give themselves some prissy. Not so long ago this used to be a

:14:17. > :14:19.cement factory. -- some prissy. All kinds of buildings have been

:14:20. > :14:24.converted into temporary accommodation. Huge numbers of

:14:25. > :14:33.people fled from the area around Mosul chewing the summer. -- during.

:14:34. > :14:38.Outside the factory you can see how the camp has expanded on all sides.

:14:39. > :14:45.3500 people live here now, most of them in rows of tents like this.

:14:46. > :14:48.There is a lot of support for international military action

:14:49. > :14:54.against IS. TRANSLATION: We want to go back.

: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

:17:06. > :17:10.Westminster very much continuing. I will be back with more from here a

:17:11. > :17:16.little later in the programme. Now back to the studio.

:17:17. > :17:20.David Cameron tells MPs it's in the national interest to

:17:21. > :17:23.confront Islamic State militarily, as it is a threat to the streets

:17:24. > :17:26.of Britain - but he warned it would take years, not months.

:17:27. > :17:35.The latest from day one of the Ryder Cup, where Europe has taken

:17:36. > :17:42.Fears from businesses that employees will be forced to leave the capital

:17:43. > :17:48.And we look at the team from Romania hoping to make it to

:17:49. > :18:03.UKIP has revealed proposals for a new rate of tax.

:18:04. > :18:06.The party says it would introduce a 35% rate

:18:07. > :18:10.Its annual conference is under way in Doncaster,

:18:11. > :18:13.with the focus on gaining what it calls the blue-collar vote

:18:14. > :18:17.From there, our political correspondent

:18:18. > :18:24.Nigel Farage is a man who has his own style of rallying the troops.

:18:25. > :18:30.After 15 years as a professional elected politician, UKIP is now

:18:31. > :18:39.Just think, this is what a UKIP Cabinet would look like.

:18:40. > :18:42.They've come to South Yorkshire for their biggest conference yet.

:18:43. > :18:46.They've come to spell out more policy ideas, but that's not all.

:18:47. > :18:49.It's no coincidence that UKIP has come to Doncaster Racecourse.

:18:50. > :18:53.Yes, they need a glorious open space that the 2000 or

:18:54. > :18:57.so activists attending demand, but just over there is the constituency

:18:58. > :19:01.of Labour leader Ed Miliband and he is the man and it is the party that

:19:02. > :19:09.This is a town where they still sell fruit and veg in pounds

:19:10. > :19:15.UKIP thinks there is votes up for grabs in the north,

:19:16. > :19:17.where a tougher economy combined with a wave of immigration

:19:18. > :19:25.I was voting Labour, then changed to the Greens, which is

:19:26. > :19:33.I haven't watched UKIP and their campaigns but with

:19:34. > :19:45.A UKIP government would stop anyone on a minimum wage

:19:46. > :19:53.They'd cut taxes for middle earners, down from 40p to 35p for those

:19:54. > :19:59.And the party has already said it will abolish inheritance tax.

:20:00. > :20:03.No tax on minimum wage would cost just over ?12 billion a year.

:20:04. > :20:06.It's a lot of money, I agree, but leaving the European Union

:20:07. > :20:13.Cutting our foreign aid budget to a level that was sensible and in line

:20:14. > :20:17.with genuine humanitarian missions would save as ?9 billion a year.

:20:18. > :20:21.Its detail that UKIP hopes will make it more credible.

:20:22. > :20:23.The truth is though for now just standing apart from

:20:24. > :20:32.The former Radio 1 presenter Dave Lee Travis has been given

:20:33. > :20:36.a three-month suspended sentence for indecent assault.

:20:37. > :20:39.He was convicted of groping a young researcher at the filming

:20:40. > :20:47.Our correspondent Matt Prodger is at Southwark Crown Court.

:20:48. > :20:54.This report contains some flash photography. He left court a guilty

:20:55. > :20:58.man with a suspended sentence for indecent assault. But Dave Lee

:20:59. > :21:03.Travis was anything but apologetic. Whilst I am relieved that I have

:21:04. > :21:08.been able to prove that I am not a sexual predator, I am mortified and

:21:09. > :21:14.I am really disappointed that I was convicted of one count and it is of

:21:15. > :21:19.little comfort to me that I was acquitted of so many others. Those

:21:20. > :21:25.closest to me, including my wife Marianne who have been by my side

:21:26. > :21:29.all the time, we all know the truth and I am grateful for that. A

:21:30. > :21:34.statement from his victim was earlier read out in court. She said

:21:35. > :21:38.that she had been subjected to an unprovoked and terrifying assault.

:21:39. > :21:44.Being called a liar and a fantasist had been painful. Just before he was

:21:45. > :21:49.sentenced, DLT shouted angrily at this journalist as she sat in the

:21:50. > :21:54.public gallery. She has previously accused him of groping her as well.

:21:55. > :21:59.I would have preferred it if he had a been sent to jail because having

:22:00. > :22:04.been on the receiving end of his behaviour I know exactly how serious

:22:05. > :22:11.it is and how unpleasant it is. DLT has been spared prison, but the

:22:12. > :22:18.reputational and financial cost of two trials has crippled him.

:22:19. > :22:20.Police looking for the teenager Alice Gross have

:22:21. > :22:23.spent the morning searching a park in west London, near the canal

:22:24. > :22:27.The 14-year-old's been missing since August 28th.

:22:28. > :22:29.Officers cordoned off part of Elthorne Park because

:22:30. > :22:32.of a patch of disturbed earth - but in the last hour they've ruled

:22:33. > :22:38.Our correspondent Richard Lister reports.

:22:39. > :22:40.Day 29 in the search for Alice Gross.

:22:41. > :22:44.Today, police returned to the area where she disappeared, examining a

:22:45. > :22:50.It's the biggest police operation in almost a decade.

:22:51. > :22:54.Search teams have covered some 25 square miles.

:22:55. > :22:57.Little has been said about what, if anything, has been found.

:22:58. > :23:00.A knife was recovered half a mile further up the river on Tuesday, but

:23:01. > :23:07.The new search site was identified a few hours

:23:08. > :23:10.after this police reconstruction of Alice's last known movements.

:23:11. > :23:16.She was seen taking power walk, which covered several miles.

:23:17. > :23:21.August 28, Alice left home at about 1pm and began walking south

:23:28. > :23:32.she started to walk back along the canal, reaching a bridge at 4:26pm,

:23:33. > :23:35.next to the area being searched today.

:23:36. > :23:38.This is the stretch of towpath where Alice was last seen.

: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

:24:04. > :24:13.Her father is still haunted by the last messages they exchanged.

: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.

:24:48. > :24:50.The 40th Ryder Cup between Europe and the United States is underway

:24:51. > :24:54.The first point has gone to Europe with Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson

:24:55. > :24:57.beating Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson.

: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.
