And how one London school is showing solidarity with pupils

:01:07.:01:08.

Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:01:09.:01:33.

David Cameron has told MPs there is a compelling case to act against the

:01:34.:01:40.

Islamic State group in Syria as well as Iraq and he had to convince them

:01:41.:01:45.

to votes in favour. Parliament rejected a vote to extend air

:01:46.:01:51.

strikes in 2013, although REF aeroplanes are attacking targets in

:01:52.:01:55.

Iraq. The David Cameron has told MPs in the last half hour that he

:01:56.:01:58.

believes Britain should attack targets in Syria, and the case for

:01:59.:02:02.

doing so has only grown stronger after the Paris attacks. My firm

:02:03.:02:09.

conviction is that we need to act against Isil in Syria. There is a

:02:10.:02:13.

compelling case. It is up to the Government to make that case to this

:02:14.:02:16.

house and the country. I will respond personally to the report of

:02:17.:02:21.

the foreign affairs select committee, I will set out our

:02:22.:02:25.

comprehensive strategy for dealing with Isil, our vision for a more

:02:26.:02:29.

stable and peaceful Middle East. In my view, this should include taking

:02:30.:02:33.

the action in Syria I have spoken about.

:02:34.:02:38.

Let's speak to our assistant political editor Norman Swift in

:02:39.:02:41.

Westminster. He made this announcement a short time ago, how

:02:42.:02:45.

much of a change is this? -- Norman Smith. This is a significant moment,

:02:46.:02:52.

it suggests to me that we're heading remorselessly to a second vote on

:02:53.:02:56.

Britain joining in the military strikes against IS in Syria. Mr

:02:57.:03:01.

Cameron, although he has supported Britain joining in the strikes, has

:03:02.:03:06.

stood back and said it is up to MPs, that has to be a Parliamentary

:03:07.:03:10.

consensus before I will come back and hold but vote. Today he, in

:03:11.:03:15.

effect, said, I am coming off the fence, I will make the case for as

:03:16.:03:20.

strikes, I will campaign, set out the argument for as strikes, echoes

:03:21.:03:25.

Britain cannot sit back and allow others to protect us. He said the

:03:26.:03:28.

atrocity in Paris has changed things. We already, IS in Iraq, it

:03:29.:03:35.

makes no sense not to go after them in their heartland -- we already

:03:36.:03:42.

bomb IS in Iraq. Mr Cameron will respond to the report from the

:03:43.:03:44.

conservative dominated Foreign Affairs Committee opposing Anne Wood

:03:45.:03:50.

strikes, he will make the case for Anne Wood strikes. -- he will make

:03:51.:04:00.

the case for air strikes. He has always said that he will not do that

:04:01.:04:04.

unless he is sure that he can win it? I suspect with you in Government

:04:05.:04:10.

circles is that the only way that they can win it is if Mr Cameron

:04:11.:04:16.

goes on the offensive. Simply waiting for a consensus to emerge

:04:17.:04:23.

will not do it. I think the Government is pressing now because

:04:24.:04:27.

the prospects of the Labour Party and Labour MPs backing him seem

:04:28.:04:33.

stronger because of the degree of disarray in Labour circles following

:04:34.:04:35.

Jeremy Corbyn's clear indication that he will oppose pretty much any

:04:36.:04:40.

military intervention. Last night many, many Labour MPs were unhappy

:04:41.:04:45.

with that strategy. Providing that Mr Cameron can put in place a

:04:46.:04:50.

coherent, diplomatic strategy, I suspect Downing Street calculate

:04:51.:04:52.

they will be able to get the support of many Labour MPs, which will

:04:53.:04:57.

hugely increase the chance of the House of Commons voting in favour of

:04:58.:05:01.

military action in Syria. Thank you, Norman Smith.

:05:02.:05:03.

French police have carried out almost 130 more raids overnight

:05:04.:05:05.

on suspected Islamist extremists across the country, as they continue

:05:06.:05:07.

to hunt for those responsible for Friday's attacks in Paris.

:05:08.:05:10.

There are reports that police have found a safe house used

:05:11.:05:13.

by the attackers in Bobigny, a suburb of Paris.

:05:14.:05:17.

Around 115,000 extra security personnel have been mobilised

:05:18.:05:21.

in the wake of the attacks in which 129 people were killed.

:05:22.:05:24.

France has also called on other EU states to give it help - using

:05:25.:05:28.

an article in the EU Lisbon Treaty that's never been used before.

:05:29.:05:31.

Let's cross to Ben Brown who's in Paris.

:05:32.:05:40.

Sophie, one possible breakthrough in the police investigation, today they

:05:41.:05:49.

have found, we hear, a lack Renault Clio in the Montmartre district of

:05:50.:05:53.

Paris, which they think was rented and used by one of the gunman in

:05:54.:05:59.

preparation for Friday 's attacks. 26-year-old Salah Abdeslam, the man

:06:00.:06:03.

who escaped after the attacks and is still on the run. An international

:06:04.:06:07.

arrest warrant is out for him, a huge manhunt. On the diplomatic

:06:08.:06:11.

front, US Secretary of State John Kerry has been in Paris today for

:06:12.:06:17.

talks with President Hollande. He says that America stands shoulder to

:06:18.:06:21.

shoulder with France and described Islamic State as psychopathic

:06:22.:06:22.

monsters. Anna Holligan reports. On the surface, life in Paris seems

:06:23.:06:31.

to be returning to normal. For many, it will never be the same again.

:06:32.:06:37.

France has now mobilised 115,000 security personnel in the wake of

:06:38.:06:45.

the attacks by Islamist militants. Your's most wanted man, Salah

:06:46.:06:49.

Abdeslam, is still on the run. He's two photos have just been released.

:06:50.:06:54.

People are being warned not to approach him. 270 rates have been

:06:55.:07:02.

carried out at addresses across France and in a district in Belgium.

:07:03.:07:08.

128 of those were overnight. Police found a third Beljan licensed car

:07:09.:07:11.

believed to have been used by the attackers. They have cordoned off

:07:12.:07:19.

the area around it in the 18th district of Paris, and a number of

:07:20.:07:25.

people are under house arrest. TRANSLATION: These attacks were

:07:26.:07:29.

prepared and organised by cells outside our national borders and by

:07:30.:07:33.

individuals unknown to our services. Even if some were known to us,

:07:34.:07:37.

because they were French accomplices, they were not known for

:07:38.:07:41.

taking part in terror activities but for visiting radicalised places of

:07:42.:07:45.

worship. US Secretary of State John Kerry is

:07:46.:07:51.

in Paris. Last night he described members of the Islamic State as

:07:52.:07:54.

psychopathic monsters. After a meeting with President Hollande this

:07:55.:07:58.

morning, he said America was committed to increasing their

:07:59.:08:00.

efforts against the group in every degree possible, thoughtfully and

:08:01.:08:06.

carefully. We have to step up our efforts to help them out the call,

:08:07.:08:11.

when they are planning these things. And also to do more on borders in

:08:12.:08:17.

terms of the movement of people. The level of cooperation could not be

:08:18.:08:23.

higher. We have agreed even to exchange more information. President

:08:24.:08:26.

Hollande's critics have accused him of being too week abroad and not

:08:27.:08:31.

tough enough at home. The president has since called for the state of

:08:32.:08:36.

emergency to be extended for three months and wants new powers to

:08:37.:08:40.

remove French citizenship for people involved in terrorism. He declared

:08:41.:08:46.

more against the Islamic State in Syria and, for the second time in 24

:08:47.:08:50.

hours, French planes have dropped bombs on IS target in their

:08:51.:08:55.

stronghold of Raqqa. Five people who worked here at the Cafe Of Angels

:08:56.:09:02.

lost their lives on Friday 's attacks. The manager has reportedly

:09:03.:09:07.

been describing how one of their friends, a man named Ludo, threw

:09:08.:09:11.

himself down in front of a woman to act as a human shield. Ludo, a

:09:12.:09:17.

Congolese immigrants, died. The woman survived.

:09:18.:09:22.

Many Muslims are now afraid of the backlash against them caused out

:09:23.:09:27.

those who have hijacked their religion. I am very sad, because I

:09:28.:09:35.

come here all the time. We have a very big community. The community of

:09:36.:09:42.

Liz -- Muslim people. I am afraid of racism. The question that plagues

:09:43.:09:47.

the people of Paris is how realistic is it to provide them with total

:09:48.:09:53.

security? Anna Holligan, BBC News, Paris.

:09:54.:09:57.

Tomorrow we could see a vote in the French parliament to agree to

:09:58.:10:03.

President Hollande's request to extend the state of emergency

:10:04.:10:07.

existed at the moment to three months. He says that is essential

:10:08.:10:10.

because this country can he says, is in a state of more with Islamic

:10:11.:10:14.

State and terrorism. Thank you. Police activity hasn't been confined

:10:15.:10:16.

to France - three people have been arrested at Aachen in Germany. But

:10:17.:10:19.

the focus of the manhunt is still on Salah Abdeslam, who's thought to

:10:20.:10:23.

have been the driver of one of the cars involved in the shootings. He's

:10:24.:10:27.

from Brussels, where there's been intense police activity again today.

:10:28.:10:29.

Let's speak to our correspondent, Sophie, thank you. The police are

:10:30.:10:43.

urging the public to remain vigilant, issuing two news that --

:10:44.:10:47.

new photographs of Salah Abdeslam, he looks much younger and more

:10:48.:10:52.

fresh-cut than the mug shot in the international arrest warrant at the

:10:53.:10:55.

weekend. We have learned interesting details about him. For three years

:10:56.:11:00.

he worked for the public bus company in Brussels but was sacked in 2012

:11:01.:11:04.

but poor timekeeping. He tried to get a job at the town hall behind

:11:05.:11:06.

me, where his brother get a job at the town hall behind

:11:07.:11:10.

worked, but was unsuccessful, so he went to work with his older brother

:11:11.:11:16.

in a bar. The brother blew himself up on Boulevard Voltaire. Apparently

:11:17.:11:21.

that bar was rated in the summer, and on the orders of the mayor it

:11:22.:11:25.

was closed down two weeks ago, but the brothers had sold it six weeks

:11:26.:11:29.

ago. Seemingly there was a plan in place. Locals here said they had

:11:30.:11:34.

assimilated into normal life, leading a life slightly

:11:35.:11:38.

contradictory to their conservative beliefs. Apparently there was drug

:11:39.:11:43.

dealing and the smoking dope in this bar, which concerned police. We also

:11:44.:11:47.

know there was planning, they booked a hotel room in Paris, two rooms

:11:48.:11:54.

which were used, we think, for the preparation of suicide bombs, and a

:11:55.:11:59.

host of cars were rented. Two quick lines, we are hearing about the two

:12:00.:12:05.

people prosecuted yesterday, both charged with terrorist acts in being

:12:06.:12:09.

part of a terrorist conspiracy. Police believe they could have

:12:10.:12:14.

supplied the suicide bombs. There was ammonium nitrate, a fertiliser

:12:15.:12:17.

which can be used to make explosive bombs.

:12:18.:12:19.

The Chancellor, George Osborne, has warned that Islamic State militants

:12:20.:12:21.

are trying to develop the ability to launch deadly cyber-attacks on UK

:12:22.:12:24.

targets - like the National Grid or air traffic control.

:12:25.:12:27.

He's announced almost ?2 billion in extra funding to fight cybercrime.

:12:28.:12:29.

Here's our security correspondent, Frank Gardner.

:12:30.:12:38.

A message of solidarity at the French Embassy this morning. We are

:12:39.:12:49.

all together, David Cameron wrote in French. His Chancellor, George

:12:50.:12:54.

Osborne, today visited GCHQ, one of the three British intelligence

:12:55.:12:58.

agencies getting a huge new boost in funding, mostly for

:12:59.:13:00.

counterterrorism. An official said they hoped to increase the number of

:13:01.:13:05.

highly trained analysts and linguists to intercept terrorist

:13:06.:13:09.

communications. The Chancellor warned what Islamic state or Isil

:13:10.:13:15.

would like to do online. Isil are already using the Internet or

:13:16.:13:20.

hideous propaganda purposes, radicalisation and operational

:13:21.:13:26.

planning. They have not yet used it to kill people by attacking our

:13:27.:13:29.

infrastructure through cyber attack. They do not yet have that

:13:30.:13:34.

capability. But we know they wanted and are doing their best to build

:13:35.:13:37.

it. Visiting this secret listening

:13:38.:13:41.

station today, the Chancellor saw examples of encryption, digital

:13:42.:13:45.

analysis and code breaking. While there, he announced a package of new

:13:46.:13:48.

measures, including a doubling of funding for cyber security to ?1.9

:13:49.:13:53.

billion over the next five years. This is to combat the growing online

:13:54.:13:58.

threat to the UK's critical infrastructure. And a new national

:13:59.:14:03.

cyber centre to be a single point of contact for industry. He also gave

:14:04.:14:07.

more detail on the UK's offensive cyber capability to head back

:14:08.:14:11.

against those carrying out attacks. But some question his priorities. It

:14:12.:14:18.

is important to invest in cyber security, but equally important to

:14:19.:14:22.

support the police, to have that strong, physical presence, because

:14:23.:14:27.

terrorists to operate when they feel security is lax, minimal or

:14:28.:14:30.

nonexistent, and the physical realm is as important as the virtual one.

:14:31.:14:35.

The Government says security at certain locations has been increased

:14:36.:14:38.

in recent days, but without hard intelligence of an act jewel plot,

:14:39.:14:42.

Britain remains up the second-highest terror threat level,

:14:43.:14:47.

meaning an attack is thought highly likely but not necessarily imminent.

:14:48.:14:54.

Russia says a homemade explosive device brought down the plane

:14:55.:14:56.

They're offering a $50 million reward to anyone who

:14:57.:15:00.

The Islamic state group says it carried out the attack.

:15:01.:15:04.

This morning the Egyptian authorities said two workers

:15:05.:15:06.

at Sharm el-Sheikh airport have been arrested.

:15:07.:15:08.

Here's our Moscow correspondent, Steve Rosenberg.

:15:09.:15:10.

Up till now Russia had refused to speculate about what caused this

:15:11.:15:13.

Flight 9268 had been en route from Sharm el-Sheikh to Saint Petersburg

:15:14.:15:20.

full of holiday-makers, but minutes after take off it disintegrated.

:15:21.:15:24.

Now Moscow says it knows what happened.

:15:25.:15:33.

It was a sombre President Putin who gathered his security chiefs

:15:34.:15:36.

and senior ministers for a late-night meeting.

:15:37.:15:41.

The head of the Federal Security Service reported that traces

:15:42.:15:44.

of explosives had been found on wreckage of the wrecked Airbus.

:15:45.:15:49.

The conclusion, a home-made explosive device had

:15:50.:15:51.

The murder of our people over Sinai is one of the bloodiest crimes we

:15:52.:15:59.

We will not dry our tears, this will remain forever

:16:00.:16:04.

However, this will not stop us from finding

:16:05.:16:09.

We will search wherever they may be hiding, we will find them anywhere

:16:10.:16:15.

In Sinai a jihadist group linked to Islamic State had already claimed it

:16:16.:16:22.

Today Russia offered a $50 million reward for information

:16:23.:16:29.

leading to the capture of those who organised the attack.

:16:30.:16:33.

Meanwhile, the Kremlin has intensified

:16:34.:16:36.

President Putin explained the move by saying that those who

:16:37.:16:48.

bombed the Russian Airbus should be made to understand that retribution

:16:49.:16:50.

When Moscow launched its air campaign in Syria it argued that by

:16:51.:16:55.

targeting terrorists there, it would boost Russian national security.

:16:56.:16:57.

But the bombing of a Russian passenger jet undermines that

:16:58.:17:00.

But it is unlikely to effect President Putin's domestic

:17:01.:17:06.

popularity and now the Kremlin leader is expected to rally the

:17:07.:17:09.

Our top story this lunchtime: The Prime Minister says the Paris

:17:10.:17:28.

attacks have made a stronger case for UK military action in Syria. He

:17:29.:17:33.

will set out a comprehensive strategy for dealing with Islamic

:17:34.:17:36.

State. Armed police at Wembley tonight,

:17:37.:17:40.

David Cameron says he will join Prince William for England's

:17:41.:17:42.

BBC london has discovered that almost ?20 million is spent every

:17:43.:17:48.

year on asylum seekers in London and the south of England.

:17:49.:17:51.

And a record number of mini-cab touts are prosecuted

:17:52.:17:53.

The first charter flight bringing Syrian refugees to

:17:54.:18:01.

They're just some of the 20,000 people

:18:02.:18:04.

from refugee camps around Syria who the government has agreed to

:18:05.:18:07.

The Home Secretary, Theresa May, says those who arrive in the UK will

:18:08.:18:12.

have been thoroughly screened to ensure they do not pose a threat.

:18:13.:18:16.

The plane is due to arrive in Glasgow in the next hour,

:18:17.:18:19.

A long journey to a new life. This family heading to their new home in

:18:20.:18:36.

Scotland. They had fled the war in Syria and found out a few days ago

:18:37.:18:39.

the British Government would help them come to the UK. They are part

:18:40.:18:45.

of a group of around 100 refugees flying into Glasgow airport this

:18:46.:18:49.

afternoon in what is the most significant number of Syrians to

:18:50.:18:54.

come so far under the relocation scheme. The government says they

:18:55.:18:57.

have all been thoroughly screened to check their identity and ensure they

:18:58.:19:02.

do not pose a threat. When they are selected on the grounds of

:19:03.:19:06.

vulnerability, people who have suffered tragedy before they come

:19:07.:19:10.

here, they are given the security check by the Home Office. Scotland

:19:11.:19:15.

will take around a third of the refugees expected before Christmas

:19:16.:19:19.

and they will be given homes in more remote communities like the islands

:19:20.:19:22.

as well as in major cities like Glasgow. Where are they going to

:19:23.:19:34.

live, the poor souls? We will accept them if they are genuine refugees.

:19:35.:19:39.

They should be helped, we are lucky, we have got everything here. A small

:19:40.:19:44.

number of Syrians have already been moved to the UK. This family among

:19:45.:19:52.

them. They say Britain has given them refuge from the war and hope

:19:53.:19:55.

for a better future for their children. I have got to look for the

:19:56.:20:03.

future. In Syria I do not have any good education. I do not know what I

:20:04.:20:11.

am going to do. I want to be a lawyer or work with children. More

:20:12.:20:16.

families will arrive here over the coming months. The government says

:20:17.:20:19.

the people chosen are amongst those most in need.

:20:20.:20:23.

Lower food and drink prices and cheaper fuel means

:20:24.:20:25.

the UK has now been in deflation for two months in a row.

:20:26.:20:29.

The latest figures show the Consumer Prices Index remained

:20:30.:20:31.

Inflation has now been at or close to zero for nine months,

:20:32.:20:35.

As our economics correspondent Andy Verity reports, much of it is

:20:36.:20:42.

One of the biggest reasons the cost of living fell last month is here on

:20:43.:20:56.

the shelves. Algol joined the food and fuel as downward pressures on

:20:57.:21:04.

inflation. The pound has risen by 25% against the euro, making it much

:21:05.:21:09.

cheaper for wine wholesalers like this one to export. It enables us to

:21:10.:21:13.

buy at a lower price and we are selling a lot more of the products

:21:14.:21:18.

directly as we see the immediate impact of those savings which we

:21:19.:21:23.

pass on to our customers. The price of wine dropped by 5%. Milk, cheese

:21:24.:21:31.

and eggs by 5.6%, and the price of fish fell by 6.4%. The strong pound

:21:32.:21:35.

means it is cheaper to buy foreign goods because you do not have to

:21:36.:21:51.

spend as many pounds to get the euro is you need to buy a bottle of

:21:52.:21:54.

French or Italian wine. But it can hurt exporters because their

:21:55.:21:56.

customers have to spend more of their own currency to buy our goods

:21:57.:21:59.

and we import far more than we export and that can make it worse.

:22:00.:22:01.

If the pound gets stronger, this will get even cheaper, but exporters

:22:02.:22:04.

will find it harder to sell their products abroad. We expect a fairly

:22:05.:22:08.

consistent drag on sterling and inflation going into next year and

:22:09.:22:11.

that may make the bank of England want to keep the rates low. We think

:22:12.:22:17.

the bank rate will start going up around the middle of 2016. That

:22:18.:22:23.

expectation is shared by traders in the city who say if you strip out

:22:24.:22:28.

alcohol food and fuel, the price of other services are up and with

:22:29.:22:33.

inflation expected to stay below 1% until next summer, interest rates

The Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen has revealed he's HIV positive.

:22:38.:22:41.

He made the announcement on American breakfast television after days

:22:42.:22:43.

Let's speak to our correspondent in Los Angeles, James Cook.

:22:44.:22:48.

What more did he say? Well, it started in this interview with a

:22:49.:22:59.

simple admission. I am here to tell you, he said, that I am

:23:00.:23:04.

HIV-positive. He went on to insist that he could not possibly have

:23:05.:23:09.

infected anyone. He said that was impossible. He said he had

:23:10.:23:13.

unprotected sex with two women since his diagnosis and both had been

:23:14.:23:18.

aware of his condition and he said his condition had been suppressed.

:23:19.:23:23.

This was done on the advice of his doctor. His doctor appeared

:23:24.:23:27.

alongside him on this television programme in the US, saying that

:23:28.:23:34.

Charlie Sheen does not have aids. He is taking anti-retroviral drugs.

:23:35.:23:39.

While he did not quite agree with him that it was impossible that he

:23:40.:23:43.

could have transmitted disease, he said the chances were low. But in

:23:44.:23:48.

Hollywood he is known for sleeping with thousands of women and has

:23:49.:23:52.

boasted about that himself and there is concern about his behaviour.

:23:53.:24:01.

American surgeon say they have carried at the world's most

:24:02.:24:07.

extensive face transplant. Patrick Ardis was a firefighter who received

:24:08.:24:11.

horrific injuries and received third-degree burns to his entire

:24:12.:24:14.

face and scalp when he tried to rescue a woman from a burning house.

:24:15.:24:21.

This is Patrick Hardison before the terrible fire

:24:22.:24:23.

A family man and a volunteer fire-fighter from Mississippi.

:24:24.:24:27.

This is the face he learned to live with

:24:28.:24:29.

after being burned saving someone from a blazing building in 2001.

:24:30.:24:32.

Radical surgery was his best hope for a normal future.

:24:33.:24:36.

They are working hard every day trying to get this transplant done.

:24:37.:24:39.

The surgery in August was the most extensive facial

:24:40.:24:48.

involving a new scalp, ears, nose and eyelids.

:24:49.:24:55.

We're going to take good care of you.

:24:56.:25:00.

The surgical team trained for a year to get it right,

:25:01.:25:02.

and they took 26 hours once they found a suitable donor.

:25:03.:25:13.

That was David Rodebal, a cycling enthusiast killed in an accident.

:25:14.:25:30.

Ten days after the surgery it was the first time Patrick had seen his

:25:31.:25:36.

new face. It has advanced more than the science of immune suppression

:25:37.:25:41.

and this is not going to go away and we can do this safely. Three months

:25:42.:25:47.

on and Patrick is getting used to his new appearance. It is a

:25:48.:25:50.

rehabilitation process for his children as well because they were

:25:51.:25:55.

scared of his burned face. Do they have their own ways of reacting? The

:25:56.:26:09.

donor's mother has given her own verdict on the transplant. Patrick,

:26:10.:26:14.

she says, is beautiful. Richard Lister, BBC News.

:26:15.:26:18.

So tonight armed police will be on patrol at Wembley as England

:26:19.:26:21.

It'll be the French team's first appearance since Friday when two of

:26:22.:26:25.

the Paris attackers blew themselves up outside the Stade de France.

:26:26.:26:28.

Our sports correspondent, Richard Conway, is at Wembley.

:26:29.:26:34.

All week Wembley Stadium has been lit in the colours of the French

:26:35.:26:44.

flag and on the big screen outside there is liberty, equality and

:26:45.:26:49.

fraternity. The French players had expressed some concerns of playing

:26:50.:26:56.

tonight, but it will go ahead and it will be again packed with emotion

:26:57.:26:58.

Rarely has Wembley hosted a match where the football has been of such

:26:59.:27:08.

importance. The FA said it will be the chance for the nation to express

:27:09.:27:13.

its solidarity after suicide bombers targeted their game against last

:27:14.:27:18.

Friday, French players know it will be a significant occasion. It will

:27:19.:27:25.

be an opportunity for us to show character through that again. We

:27:26.:27:33.

will share this moment with all the English people. Over 70,000

:27:34.:27:38.

supporters are due to attend the night's game, including the Duke of

:27:39.:27:43.

Cambridge in his capacity as FA president. English fans are being

:27:44.:27:47.

encouraged to sing the French national anthem before kick-off with

:27:48.:27:51.

the lyrics of the ICS displayed on big screens. It is a gesture that

:27:52.:27:55.

will be appreciated at this time of national grief. It is extraordinary

:27:56.:28:04.

to see how our best enemies, the English, prove such brotherly nurse

:28:05.:28:14.

with us. Altogether, no violence, just sport, just love, just life. In

:28:15.:28:20.

a sign of heightened tensions across Europe, to night's fixture between

:28:21.:28:24.

Belgium and Spain has been called off. Security around Wembley Stadium

:28:25.:28:29.

will be tight, a mark of the legacy the Paris attacks may lead for major

:28:30.:28:34.

sporting events. We are learning the lessons of what happened in Paris

:28:35.:28:38.

and as we understand what happened and assess the public's reaction, we

:28:39.:28:44.

will decide going forward as to what the police presence looks like. This

:28:45.:28:49.

is an extension of footballing friendship, but for many fans there

:28:50.:28:54.

will also be a chance to demonstrate defiance following the attacks on

:28:55.:28:55.

Paris. In addition to Prince William

:28:56.:29:04.

attending tonight, David Cameron has also said he will be coming to watch

:29:05.:29:09.

and he says it is an act of solidarity and a sign

:29:10.:29:15.

that they were shown solidarity. Storm Barney is on its way, how big

:29:16.:29:23.

will it be? We have got a large swathe of cloud

:29:24.:29:37.

which is bringing yet more rain. It is moving northwards through England

:29:38.:29:42.

and Wales and into Northern Ireland and central and southern parts of

:29:43.:29:43.

Scotland where it gets launched. The North of Scotland stays dry. Was

:29:44.:29:56.

it brightens up in the south, it is another mild day. Huge waves

:29:57.:30:01.

crashing on to the coast of west Wales and around the Bristol

:30:02.:30:06.

Channel. We could see gusts of 60, 70 or 80 miles an hour. Of concern

:30:07.:30:12.

for a time is the swathe of strong gusts ripping through piles of

:30:13.:30:17.

Wales, the Midlands and towards eastern England. 60, possibly 70

:30:18.:30:23.

miles an hour and that is enough to topple trees and cause power cuts.

:30:24.:30:28.

Weather warnings in force from the Met Office. If you have got travel

:30:29.:30:33.

plans, take it steady and check out the BBC local radio station. Barney

:30:34.:30:38.

will move out of the way overnight and it turned a bit quieter later

:30:39.:30:44.

on. Some showers in the north and west and maybe a touch of frost in

:30:45.:30:49.

the Glens of Scotland. Yet more rain is lined up to affect parts of

:30:50.:30:53.

Northern Ireland as we head towards dawn. This will sweep across much of

:30:54.:31:00.

the North and the West and it will push its way down into England and

:31:01.:31:05.

Wales. The strongest winds later on tomorrow will be in western and

:31:06.:31:10.

central parts of Scotland. Again weather warnings in force. Mild in

:31:11.:31:16.

the south between the bands of rain. Overnight there is more rain in the

:31:17.:31:22.

south-west of Scotland. This front gets launched across the heart of

:31:23.:31:27.

Scotland as we go through Thursday. To the south it is another mild day

:31:28.:31:31.

and there is quite a contrast in temperatures. As we end the week the

:31:32.:31:37.

message is, as we go into the weekend there is quite a change. It

:31:38.:31:42.

is a trance formation in conditions across the UK. Bright and crisp with

:31:43.:31:48.

welcome sunshine by date, but some chilly night and even a bit of snow.

:31:49.:31:56.

All the latest updates can be found on our website. A reminder of our

:31:57.:32:02.

main story, David Cameron has told MPs he believes there is a

:32:03.:32:06.

compelling case to take military action against Islamic State in

:32:07.:32:09.

Syria after Friday's
