:04:32. > :04:38.With me is Hugh Schofield. What do you think was the symbolic
:04:39. > :04:41.significance of staging this day of remembrance here, at one of the
:04:42. > :04:46.great monuments in Paris? France does not do religion. If this had
:04:47. > :04:50.happened in Britain the ceremony would have been at Westminster
:04:51. > :04:59.Abbey. It is the state that does appear in France. Here we have the
:05:00. > :05:03.Dome and the tomb. It is a military complex. That is significant because
:05:04. > :05:08.of the language President Hollande has been using about taking more to
:05:09. > :05:12.Islamic State. It is almost as if the 130 unfortunate victims have
:05:13. > :05:18.been given military honours. It is a place everybody can rally around,
:05:19. > :05:21.with one slight discordant note. There is a current of feeling
:05:22. > :05:26.represented by a handful of families who have not turned up. They say the
:05:27. > :05:33.state should have done more. That had France reacted properly back in
:05:34. > :05:37.January and enacted the emergency measures then, this could have been
:05:38. > :05:43.averted. Two weeks on, how nervous are people in Paris that there could
:05:44. > :05:47.be more attacks? I think people are apprehensive, nervous. That has not
:05:48. > :05:53.gone away. Life is returning to normal. But nobody is without that
:05:54. > :06:00.nagging sense that this could come from anywhere at any time.
:06:01. > :06:02.Thank you very much indeed. Hugh Schofield, our Paris correspondent.
:06:03. > :06:06.President Hollande asked people across France today to drape their
:06:07. > :06:11.homes and their businesses in the colours of the French flag, the red,
:06:12. > :06:23.white and blue of the trigger, to make this a National day of
:06:24. > :06:27.remembrance. Tom Watson says David Cameron has made a compelling case
:06:28. > :06:32.for British air strikes against the Islamic State in Syria. His views
:06:33. > :06:36.put him at odds against Corbyn who opposes military action. The Labour
:06:37. > :06:39.Party is to decide on Monday if MPs are ordered to back their leader in
:06:40. > :06:50.a Commons vote. We have this report.
:06:51. > :06:56.The Prime Minister could seek the backing of the Commons as early as
:06:57. > :06:59.next week to extend air strikes to Syria.
:07:00. > :07:04.David Cameron, meeting other world leaders has made it clear he will
:07:05. > :07:06.not put the issue to a vote unless confident of winning a clear
:07:07. > :07:10.majority. I believe there is a case to take
:07:11. > :07:14.effective action to keep our country safe. I thought many members of
:07:15. > :07:19.Parliament on all sides of the House of Commons agreed there was a
:07:20. > :07:28.compelling case. I urge all of them to vote on the basis of the
:07:29. > :07:32.arguments for effective action on a compelling action to keep our
:07:33. > :07:38.country safe. Jeremy Corbyn said he was not convinced. Others in the
:07:39. > :07:43.Shadow Cabinet disagree. One saying that Jeremy Corbyn should resign.
:07:44. > :07:50.But the deputies defended him. It is in his right to outline his
:07:51. > :07:55.position on all military action and policy issues. He is our leader. I
:07:56. > :07:58.want to ensure we make the right decision on his behalf as well as
:07:59. > :08:04.other countries. The Shadow Party is to meet to
:08:05. > :08:10.discuss this more on Monday. I am told there is favour of
:08:11. > :08:16.supporting the support for the Prime Minister and some were furious when
:08:17. > :08:17.Jeremy Corbyn sent a letter to MPs setting out his opposition to air
:08:18. > :08:19.strikes. Several prepared to resign if they are told to vote against
:08:20. > :08:19.military action in Syria. It is not clear if they are free to vote as
:08:20. > :08:25.they choose. . It is not for me to say in there
:08:26. > :08:30.is a free vote. Jeremy Corbyn has made his decision clear. As is
:08:31. > :08:34.appropriate. I think in the end that the party members will want MPs to
:08:35. > :08:39.unite behind the leader. What Jeremy Corbyn is saying about the bombing
:08:40. > :08:45.is what party members are sayle. Prime Minister is saying we should
:08:46. > :08:51.not leave it to allies like the French but some are not convinced,
:08:52. > :08:57.the Scottish nationalists are likely to oppose him. So the decision of
:08:58. > :09:03.the Labour MPs could help decide as to whether or not to oppose.
:09:04. > :09:05.While Labour are in turmoil over airstrikes, Russia and France have
:09:06. > :09:08.agreed to co-ordinate operations against IS in Syria - and this
:09:09. > :09:10.morning the French Foreign Minister questioned whether airstrikes were
:09:11. > :09:12.enough. Our Security Correspondent Frank Gardner is here.
:09:13. > :09:18.discussion here? in ground troops, so what is under
:09:19. > :09:24.This is the question that keeps coming up again and again. Air
:09:25. > :09:28.strikes will not win a campaign on their own. You have to win it on the
:09:29. > :09:31.ground. Part of the problem in the area that is controlled by the
:09:32. > :09:37.so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria is that they are embedded in
:09:38. > :09:43.the local population. So you need the support of the local population
:09:44. > :09:46.and a ground force. The local support initially welcomed them in.
:09:47. > :09:52.The figure spoken about yesterday by David Cameron was 70,000. This is
:09:53. > :09:57.the number of so-called moderate opposition rebel forces in Syria.
:09:58. > :10:01.That figure is more or less accurate, the question is whether
:10:02. > :10:07.they would actually want to unite and drive Isis out. They don't like
:10:08. > :10:13.Isis but they also don't like President Assad. For the last four
:10:14. > :10:19.years they have been fighting more of President Assad. So the figure is
:10:20. > :10:21.broadly accurate but there are 110 different factions, getting it
:10:22. > :10:27.together is a Herculean task. Thank you.
:10:28. > :10:29.Today is Black Friday - the day retailers copy their American
:10:30. > :10:32.counterparts and offer big discounts in the run-up to Christmas. Last
:10:33. > :10:35.year saw long queues and some hot tempers - this year though it's been
:10:36. > :10:41.a different story - as our Business Correspondent Emma Simpson reports.
:10:42. > :10:49.They opened early for business in Norwich. But they need not have
:10:50. > :10:56.bothered, there was not a shopper in sight. In Northumberland this man
:10:57. > :11:01.should have no trouble getting what he came for.
:11:02. > :11:05.You are the only one here? Yep! In Milton Keynes, shoppers that turned
:11:06. > :11:10.up were surprised it was so quiet. I thought it would be busy, that
:11:11. > :11:16.there would be big queues. That I would be late. Surprised that nonis
:11:17. > :11:21.around! No chaos as doors opened. Retailers like this one have been
:11:22. > :11:27.running deals to avoid a massive stampede today. They have learned
:11:28. > :11:30.lessons from last year. It is gone 7.00am, this store is quiet, that is
:11:31. > :11:34.because the manager tells me that people have been waking up in the
:11:35. > :11:39.middle of the night, ordering online and going back to bed, knowing that
:11:40. > :11:43.they can collect from here later. Today we are expecting 3 million
:11:44. > :11:47.visitors to the website. We should take ten orders a second and I

:11:54. > :11:58.Black Friday is not just about big TVs, it is big numbers. Could online
:11:59. > :12:04.shoppers spend ?1 billion in a single day for the first time? Even
:12:05. > :12:08.if they do, many exparodists say that this entirely manufactured
:12:09. > :12:11.event does retailers more harm than good.
:12:12. > :12:18.Black Friday is the craziest thing from the US. It sucks full-priced
:12:19. > :12:21.December spending into November at cut-prices, retailers make less
:12:22. > :12:30.profit. But good for the consumers, though.
:12:31. > :12:33.Take Rena. What are you buying? A kettle, toaster, printer, a
:12:34. > :12:39.microwave and I am waiting for the Dyson hot and cold fan! How much
:12:40. > :12:44.have you spent? I don't know! When it adds up, I will know! How will
:12:45. > :12:49.Black Friday add up for the industry? The predictions are it
:12:50. > :12:54.will be a record-breaking day for sales. The question is, has it hit
:12:55. > :12:57.'People of prominence' linked to Westminster are to be investigated
:12:58. > :13:00.by the judge leading an inquiry into child sex abuse. The Church of
:13:01. > :13:03.England, the Roman Catholic Church and certain councils will also be
:13:04. > :13:06.scrutinised. Justice Lowell Goddard said she would run twelve separate
:13:07. > :13:08.investigations into institutions that failed children. Tom Symonds is
:13:09. > :13:23.Tom, where is this inquiry heading? Well it is heading throughout much
:13:24. > :13:29.of British society. Justice and Equality Movement said that among
:13:30. > :13:33.the councils she would look at, Lambeth and Nottinghamshire, where
:13:34. > :13:40.boys and girl girls, it is claimed, were abused in care. Rochdale were
:13:41. > :13:44.boys were abused in schools, including Cyril Smithmph. The
:13:45. > :13:51.Anglican and the Roman Catholic churches are to be investigated.
:13:52. > :13:57.Sexual abuse in residential schools, on the internet, in organised groups
:13:58. > :14:02.such as on streets around Britain. In British institutions abroad, the
:14:03. > :14:08.armed forces, and the foreign and the Commonwealth offices and the
:14:09. > :14:13.current one, Westminster, and people in the security services, so very
:14:14. > :14:16.few places will not be touched by this investigation. Justice and
:14:17. > :14:20.Equality Movement has said she will get to the bottom of child abuse, it
:14:21. > :14:24.has been a major issue in British history.
:14:25. > :14:28.That is a very long list. How feesily do you think it is for her
:14:29. > :14:33.and the inquiry to do all of that? It is a long list but the first bit
:14:34. > :14:37.of work that the inquiry is to do. Justice and Equality Movement said
:14:38. > :14:40.it could take probably 18 months but longer for the areas where the
:14:41. > :14:44.police are also investigating. Therefore a delay. But there must be
:14:45. > :14:52.a question for resources. The stated aim is not just to get across the
:14:53. > :14:58.old paperwork and open archives but to develop new investigations that
:14:59. > :15:02.get new evidence. That is labour intensive, the police have hundreds
:15:03. > :15:06.of officers doing that work in each force. So therefore there will be a
:15:07. > :15:11.question about how much the inquiry can do. It is said, although it is
:15:12. > :15:12.supposed to take five years, it could take longer than that.

:17:39. > :17:41.a high profile at this conference, urging the Commonwealth to take
:17:42. > :17:45.decisive action on global warming. The other big issue is the fight

:23:44. > :23:46.begun its attempt to win the Davis Cup for the first time
:23:47. > :23:49.in nearly 80 years. Kyle Edmund is making his debut
:23:50. > :23:51.in the first match against the Belgians, which is
:23:52. > :24:10.already underway this lunchtime. They came for the tennis, they went
:24:11. > :24:15.through the motions of security measures without drama. Gent is
:24:16. > :24:18.vigilant. Reports that a suspect bag had closed some roads in the
:24:19. > :24:23.morning. At the tennis the police were happy for the British fans to
:24:24. > :24:28.do their things. After all, it is a Davis Cup final. Supposed to be a
:24:29. > :24:33.celebration. It was very camp, very friendly, business as usual. No
:24:34. > :24:39.problem. We have been to many matches, Glasgow, Queens, Naples. We
:24:40. > :24:49.are up for the big one. We follow them everywhere. We are loyal. Those
:24:50. > :24:54.are the home team and they are -- the noise behind the curtain will be
:24:55. > :24:59.their biggest asset. Britain's biggest asset, Murray. Andy plays
:25:00. > :25:03.the second singles match today. He plays Ruben Bemelmans, ranked 108 in
:25:04. > :25:06.the world. If he is a virtual unknown, he hopes that is just the
:25:07. > :25:13.point. It is going to be new for him as
:25:14. > :25:16.well. I think I probably know him better how he plays than him me,
:25:17. > :25:21.maybe I have a slight advantage. They will be well prepared.
:25:22. > :25:27.Some names are known, some names can be made on estates like this. Kyle
:25:28. > :25:31.Edmund, aged 20, ranked 100 in the world, is the first British player
:25:32. > :25:35.in action. No more time to practice. If the spirit of this Davis Cup
:25:36. > :25:37.final is that the show must go on, the key thing is this. The show has
:25:38. > :25:49.begun. This is a multipurpose venue, more
:25:50. > :25:54.used to staging pop concerts. The Belgian team laid a clay court. It
:25:55. > :25:56.was supposed to give them an advantage. David Goffin has been
:25:57. > :26:01.caught against Kyle Edmund. He has been struggling. Edmund is serving
:26:02. > :26:06.for the first set. If Britain could win this match that would be a
:26:07. > :26:08.flying start for the British team. Indeed. Joe Wilson there.
:26:09. > :26:10.It's a year since the Australian batsman, Phillip Hughes,
:26:11. > :26:13.died after being struck by a bouncer under his helmet -
:26:14. > :26:16.and the cricketing world has been paying tribute to him today.
:26:17. > :26:18.The England and Wales Cricket Board have used the anniversary to
:26:19. > :26:21.announce that all professional cricketers will now be required to
:26:22. > :26:24.wear helmets when batting and close fielding from next season.
:26:25. > :26:31.Our Sports Correspondent, Patrick Gearey, reports.
:26:32. > :26:40.At Adelaide on mines and on arms, remembering Phillip Hughes. As
:26:41. > :26:46.Australia played in the first ever day night test, on the big screen, a
:26:47. > :26:52.video rang at 408, Hughes's capped number. Reminding everyone of the
:26:53. > :26:56.lost batsmen, the team's lost friend and professional sport's lost
:26:57. > :26:59.innocence. A life lost to a cricket ball. In the year since Phillip
:27:00. > :27:03.Hughes died, sharper focus has fallen on the risks of cricket, and
:27:04. > :27:07.the importance of these in protecting against them. Yes, I
:27:08. > :27:14.think wearing helmets is crucial. I do not know why some wicketkeepers
:27:15. > :27:19.do not wear them standing up. Bales and balls, it can be very severe on
:27:20. > :27:25.impact. Cricket has always had a fast and furious side. Danger was
:27:26. > :27:30.part of a quick bowler's menace. In the modern era, helmets have offered
:27:31. > :27:34.protection. Now that protection is compulsory. For batsmen and close
:27:35. > :27:37.fielders. Officially welcomed by the players.
:27:38. > :27:41.We have to help people to help themselves. I also think that
:27:42. > :27:46.professional players have a duty to set an example to recreational
:27:47. > :27:51.players, where it may not be quite as easy to make wearing helmets
:27:52. > :27:54.compulsory. The England and Wales Cricket board
:27:55. > :28:02.insist that helmets meet a safety standard. Research test project --
:28:03. > :28:06.the products before they reach the pitch. There is no doubt the Phillip
:28:07. > :28:11.Hughes incident amplified those concerns. For a while cricketers
:28:12. > :28:15.were understandably looking for reassurance that the helmets they
:28:16. > :28:19.were wearing were going to do the best job possible. Phillip Hughes
:28:20. > :28:25.was wearing a helmet when he was hit. A painful reminder that though
:28:26. > :28:27.it can be made safer, sport a never be entirely safe. Patrick Geary, BBC
:28:28. > :28:38.News. I would normally say our Weather
:28:39. > :28:43.Watchers were out and about taking their photographs. But in Dundonald
:28:44. > :28:48.and across the water into Scotland, the smart move has been to be
:28:49. > :28:52.inside. Both locations far too close to this weather front. You get the
:28:53. > :28:56.sense there is a succession of different types of weather given the
:28:57. > :29:00.different cloud. All the way back to green and it is heading our way for
:29:01. > :29:03.the next few days. Bad weather front is the boundary between the
:29:04. > :29:07.relatively mild air that we have seen of late and something slightly
:29:08. > :29:10.colder for a time. Set to hit the British Isles. It is already working
:29:11. > :29:20.its way into Scotland and Northern Ireland. Ahead of it, Prydie
:29:21. > :29:25.drizzly. 12 bits of sunshine. -- one or two bits of sunshine. There will
:29:26. > :29:30.be a conversion of rain to snow and high levels this afternoon. Watch
:29:31. > :29:33.out for that in Scotland and the higher ground in Northern Ireland.
:29:34. > :29:39.Squally conditions. Just in time for the school run. Look at this, all
:29:40. > :29:44.over western England, the North of England and much of Wales. Ahead of
:29:45. > :29:50.it, quieter for a time. That whether I have described is coming your way.
:29:51. > :29:54.And notice this, for the later commute, watch out. A lot of surface
:29:55. > :30:01.water and spray. It gets away before midnight. Temperatures will dip. As
:30:02. > :30:07.the colder air comes in and the snow keeps coming on what will be a cold
:30:08. > :30:11.night. That sets us up for the start of Saturday. Showers if not longer
:30:12. > :30:22.spells of rain. Wintry across the higher ground in Scotland. 40 to 50
:30:23. > :30:27.mph gusts. Then the showers. In East Anglia and the south-east in the
:30:28. > :30:31.afternoon you will see few showers. If you have got the combination of
:30:32. > :30:36.plenty of showers and a lot of wind, it will be miserable. The weekend
:30:37. > :30:41.already marked by the windy weather, wet at times with the odd sunny or
:30:42. > :30:51.dry spell. New set of weather France on Sunday. More rain. Turning
:30:52. > :30:56.showery. The gusts could be 50 to 60 mph. Windy across the North of
:30:57. > :31:01.Scotland. Milder on Sunday for some. Because it is colder further north,
:31:02. > :31:04.the snow will be a feature. There is a lot going on. The website is a
:31:05. > :31:04.good place a lot going on. The website is a
:31:05. > :31:06.good place to keep abreast of it. Now a reminder
:31:07. > :31:16.of our top story this lunchtime: France holds a memorial service for
:31:17. > :31:21.those killed in the terror attacks. The names of each of the victims was
:31:22. > :31:22.read out and a minute's silence held.
