:02:01. > :02:04.Good evening, welcome to the BBC News at Six. Three of the four
:02:04. > :02:06.miners trapped below ground in Wales have been found dead. The
:02:06. > :02:10.police are making a statement now with the latest on the search for
:02:10. > :02:14.the fourth man. Within the last few moments the Prime Minister has
:02:14. > :02:20.described the situation as desperately, desperately sad. It's
:02:20. > :02:23.been a day of agony for the families of the miners as rescuers
:02:23. > :02:27.discovered the bodies of the men one by one but without being able
:02:27. > :02:32.to confirm their identities. The men had been trapped 300 feet
:02:32. > :02:35.underground, more than 24 hours early by flood waters which broke
:02:35. > :02:40.through a retaining wall. Robert Hall has spent the day following
:02:40. > :02:46.events at the mine. They had felt their way through the
:02:46. > :02:50.filth and the darkness, defying exhaustion, straining to hear the
:02:51. > :02:55.faintest signs of life. The pumps were still running outside the mine
:02:55. > :02:59.entrance but the flow of water had slowed. Now the exhausted teams
:02:59. > :03:03.could begin to search the maze of galleries and dig out the silt
:03:03. > :03:08.swept in by the flood, hoping against hope that those they sought
:03:08. > :03:13.had found safe haven beyond. I have been fantastically impressed
:03:13. > :03:18.with all the emergency services. They've been totally professional,
:03:18. > :03:22.totally committed, but I won't say it won't go without emotion as well.
:03:22. > :03:25.There's a lot of emotion. It's a passionate rescue attempt. We care
:03:25. > :03:30.about the people and that's important.
:03:30. > :03:35.A mile away families, friends, neighbours sat together sleepless
:03:35. > :03:39.in the village community centre, reaching out for scraps of
:03:39. > :03:43.information from the Weiry men stumbling past to begin another
:03:43. > :03:47.shift underground. They took khrft from -- comfort from the messages
:03:47. > :03:53.of support, the gifts of foods and toy for the children but their
:03:54. > :04:00.minds were in the dark galleries on the hill above. One family, his
:04:00. > :04:05.wife didn't want him to go to work yesterday, but he insisted and it's
:04:05. > :04:10.just devastating, not only for the community, but seems to be for the
:04:10. > :04:14.whole valley. Everybody's devastated. With a new day had come
:04:14. > :04:18.dread news, three families told that their hopes had been dashed,
:04:18. > :04:21.that their men folk had been unable to escape the torrent. Everybody's
:04:21. > :04:26.rallying around but everybody's traumatised because they've not
:04:26. > :04:30.known this horror now for a generation or more and it's
:04:30. > :04:32.terrible that it's been visited upon us now. Late this afternoon
:04:32. > :04:37.the Prime Minister said his thoughts were with the whole
:04:37. > :04:40.community. I spoke to the gold commander and it's clear the
:04:40. > :04:43.emergency services have done everything they can, have worked
:04:43. > :04:47.incredibly hard and they haven't lacked for anything but it's
:04:47. > :04:52.obviously a desperately sad situation for everyone concerned.
:04:52. > :04:56.Mining has been and will be at the heart of life in these valleys, now
:04:56. > :05:03.the questions begin over the risks the men here faced and whether this
:05:04. > :05:06.tragedy could have been avoided. While we have been on air the
:05:06. > :05:13.police have been making a statement and have confirmed that they have
:05:13. > :05:18.found the fourth body of a miner. They've offered their condolences
:05:18. > :05:23.to the families, we can talk now to Robert Hall who joins us from the
:05:23. > :05:25.Gleision Colliery. This has been a terrible day for the families and
:05:25. > :05:31.people there and with this announcement from the police that
:05:32. > :05:36.all four men have died. Yes, agony upon agony really. The news has
:05:36. > :05:41.come out through the day, first one, then two, then three. There were
:05:41. > :05:47.the necessary delays in formal identification, families who were
:05:47. > :05:50.already in a terrible state looking for comfort from others, were
:05:50. > :05:53.listening to the news, trying to follow what had happened, tried to
:05:53. > :05:57.work out whether it would be their family who would finally be told.
:05:57. > :06:04.Now the news has emerged. Let's hear from the Chief Constable who
:06:04. > :06:09.has made this statement. I can confirm that the fourth dead
:06:09. > :06:16.miner has now been recovered from the Gleision mine. On behalf of us
:06:16. > :06:20.all, I would like to express our deepest and most sincere
:06:20. > :06:27.condolences to the families of Philip Hill, David Powell, Garry
:06:27. > :06:34.Jenkins and Charles Bresnan. Just to remind you of the names,
:06:34. > :06:37.Charles Bresnan, 62, David Powell aged 50, Garry Jenkins 39, Philip
:06:37. > :06:40.Hill 45. And as the Chief Constable said it's been an immensely
:06:40. > :06:45.difficult operation for his men, some of them had not seen
:06:45. > :06:49.conditions like it in 30 years and in the end the news nobody wanted.
:06:49. > :06:55.Thank you. The Gleision Colliery is one of the
:06:55. > :06:58.few remaining mines in South Wales. It's small scale, just seven men
:06:58. > :07:01.worked there. Our science correspondent is here to look at
:07:01. > :07:03.what could have gone wrong. First of all, what do you know about the
:07:03. > :07:07.mine itself. It isn't the kind of mine that most
:07:07. > :07:12.of us would imagine. It's small, one of a handful of this size in
:07:12. > :07:16.South Wales, but the coal dug there is the highest quality there is,
:07:16. > :07:20.and it fetches a good price on the world market so this team of miners
:07:20. > :07:24.obviously thought it worthwhile to extract it.
:07:24. > :07:30.The entrance to a scene of tragedy, pictures taken a few years ago
:07:30. > :07:36.offer a surprisingly grim view of conditions inside. A battered
:07:36. > :07:41.convoyer belt to carry coal, wooden supports to hold up the rock, a
:07:41. > :07:46.miner's lamp, tunnels stretching underground seemingly unchanged for
:07:46. > :07:50.decades. Today at the mine a cluster of
:07:50. > :07:55.rescue crews, below them a steady flow of water, a positive sign
:07:55. > :07:58.because pumps were at work shifting flood water from inside the mine,
:07:58. > :08:03.an essential first step to clearing a path inside.
:08:03. > :08:06.It may be a case of shovelling the silt to move it out of the way,
:08:06. > :08:10.maybe timbers, maybe supports that have washed away and we will have
:08:10. > :08:13.to replace them to make it safe to enter that area. That's what
:08:13. > :08:19.they're trained to do. The mine is a drift mine, it's worked sideways
:08:19. > :08:24.into the hillside rather than downwards. You walk in through a
:08:24. > :08:28.hor stkaopb tal -- horizontal tunnel. The miners were working
:08:28. > :08:31.more than 800 feet inside. They used explosives to dislodge the
:08:31. > :08:36.rock, but that released flood water which filled part of the tunnel.
:08:36. > :08:42.That was pumped out today, but debris formed another obstacle.
:08:42. > :08:49.Rescuers can squeeze past it, but each step is hazardous.
:08:49. > :08:56.These are keen men in Britain's key industry. For centuries the coal
:08:56. > :09:00.mines exacted a a he tkr it -- heavy toll in casualties. With the
:09:00. > :09:04.small mines like Gleision expected in the same way as the largest.
:09:04. > :09:07.Many years there were horrendous stories and indeed some individuals
:09:07. > :09:12.who had no respect for safety or the employees that worked for them.
:09:12. > :09:17.Times have changed thankfully. This issue we faced with today is not in
:09:17. > :09:21.that same context. I wouldn't put it in that context although the
:09:21. > :09:24.effect is horrendous. Investigations are already under
:09:24. > :09:28.way. The hills are rich in coal but tonight there are questions about
:09:28. > :09:32.the human cost of getting it. Now, where mines like this one have
:09:32. > :09:35.been dug on and off for decades there can be invisible dangers,
:09:35. > :09:39.water can collect in unexpected pockets and stretches of rock can
:09:39. > :09:49.be weaker than they look. A job that always carries risks can be
:09:49. > :09:50.
:09:50. > :09:56.made even more hazardous. A city trader wept in court today
:09:56. > :09:58.as he was charged with fraud at UBS. After the hearing 31-year-old Kweku
:09:58. > :10:02.Adoboli was remanded in custody. Here is our chief economics
:10:02. > :10:05.correspondent. There was a big media presence at
:10:05. > :10:11.City of London magistrates court, but this was the only glimpse they
:10:11. > :10:15.got of the man accused of a �1.3 billion fraud. Kweku Adoboli was
:10:15. > :10:19.remanded in custody until another hearing next week. He had wept in
:10:19. > :10:25.court as he stood facing charges of fraud and two of false accounting,
:10:25. > :10:29.one of which dated back to 2008. He was a senior trader in the London
:10:29. > :10:33.office of the Swiss bank UBS. He was arrested at his desk in the
:10:33. > :10:39.early hours of yesterday. It's alleged he dishonestly abused his
:10:39. > :10:43.position, causing losses to the bank. His family home is in Ghana,
:10:43. > :10:47.his father, a former UN official, has said the family was heartbroken
:10:48. > :10:50.and he was hoping to hear his son's side of the story. Whatever the
:10:50. > :10:54.trader's motives and whatever the details of the transactions, the
:10:54. > :10:58.big questions being asked are why were senior management here at UBS
:10:58. > :11:02.not aware of what was going on? And how could losses of more than �1
:11:02. > :11:07.billion be racked up without their knowledge?
:11:07. > :11:11.It's not incredible in the sense that it will be very hard to
:11:11. > :11:14.regulate away any of these sort of accidents happening, it is very
:11:14. > :11:19.difficult to believe it's happened just now, when there's so much
:11:19. > :11:22.attention being put on better enforcement and regulation. It's
:11:22. > :11:26.not clear precisely what sort of deals Kweku Adoboli was carrying
:11:26. > :11:29.out, his job involved complex and potentially risky trading with the
:11:29. > :11:33.bank's money. To minimise risk there's a technique called hedging
:11:33. > :11:36.of trades, a first transaction might involve putting money on a
:11:36. > :11:41.market move going up, for example. But a second transaction puts money
:11:41. > :11:43.on the opposite outcome, a market drop. Profits are made on the small
:11:43. > :11:46.amount of difference in cost between the two.
:11:46. > :11:50.But it goes wrong when the balancing debt isn't made or isn't
:11:50. > :11:54.big enough and the markets move sharply leaving the trader with big
:11:54. > :11:56.losses. Clearly we don't know what's happened in this case, there
:11:56. > :12:01.are only allegations of rogue trading but think of allowing
:12:01. > :12:06.somebody the sort of authority to run up a 2 billion losses, the
:12:06. > :12:09.gentleman was a 31-year-old with a degree in computer science. I am
:12:09. > :12:12.not sure what sum of money I would allow anyone with that background,
:12:12. > :12:16.but it certainly wouldn't be two billion dollars of my capital.
:12:16. > :12:25.what was going on and why his bosses didn't seem to know may only
:12:25. > :12:28.become clear when the full case gets to trial.
:12:28. > :12:31.A soldier who was shot dead while on foot patrol in Afghanistan
:12:31. > :12:34.yesterday has been named. He was Lance Corporal Jonathan James
:12:34. > :12:41.McKinlay from 1st Battalion, The Rifles. He was hit by small arms
:12:41. > :12:43.fire while patrolling in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand Province.
:12:43. > :12:46.The Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland, Martin McGuinness,
:12:46. > :12:49.has announced he's to run for the Irish Presidency. His party Sinn
:12:49. > :12:51.Fein has confirmed that the former IRA Leader will contest next
:12:51. > :12:58.month's election. He's due to be formally endorsed by his party

:13:01. > :13:04.meeting in Poland have delayed until October a decision on whether
:13:04. > :13:06.to pay the second instalment of a bailout loan to Greece. Speaking
:13:06. > :13:09.beforehand, the Chancellor, George Osborne, described the situation in
:13:09. > :13:15.the Eurozone as grave and urged fellow European ministers to
:13:15. > :13:19.demonstrate their leadership. successful euro is massively in
:13:19. > :13:24.Britain's national interest. At today's meeting I will be looking
:13:24. > :13:28.for my European colleagues to send a clear signal that they truly
:13:28. > :13:33.recognise the gravity of the situation and that they are dealing
:13:33. > :13:37.with it. Let's speak to our Europe editor in Brussels. Ahead of the
:13:37. > :13:43.IMF and the Chancellor both said Europe must act now and today's
:13:43. > :13:48.announcement is of a delay. What do you make of it? Well, certainly not
:13:48. > :13:55.helpful, there were more warnings today as to how serious this crisis
:13:55. > :13:58.is. The US Treasury Secretary speaking in dramatic terms, he said
:13:58. > :14:03.there was catastrophic risk to the global economy from the crisis. The
:14:03. > :14:06.Americans at this meeting in Poland were looking for a big gesture
:14:06. > :14:10.perhaps increasing the size of the bail-out fund so countries like
:14:10. > :14:15.Italy could be looked after. But the Europeans at this stage weren't
:14:15. > :14:19.prepared to go along with that. As regards Greece, well we won't know
:14:19. > :14:25.until mid-October probably, until they qualify for an extra tranche
:14:25. > :14:33.of money and so put off a default. I think what today demonstrated
:14:33. > :14:36.once again, just how difficult it is making progress with this crisis.
:14:36. > :14:41.Thank you. Our top story:
:14:41. > :14:44.The bodies of all four miners have been recovered from the mine in the
:14:45. > :14:49.Swansea Valley. The Prime Minister has described it as a desperately

:15:16. > :15:19.Abbas, has signalled a significant step in trying to break through the
:15:19. > :15:24.impasse with Israel. He has announced that he will apply for
:15:24. > :15:28.full membership of the United Nations next week. The US says it
:15:28. > :15:31.will veto any application on the grounds that only direct talks with

:16:35. > :16:40.legitimate right of full membership, he said, taking with us the
:16:41. > :16:44.suffering and hope of our people. He rejected criticism that he
:16:44. > :16:48.wanted to deal legitimise Israel. He says his only targets were it
:16:48. > :16:56.promises, the occupation and settlement of the land Israel

:17:12. > :17:19.But Israel's stubbornness, the President said, means negotiations
:17:19. > :17:22.are at a dead end, so they are turning to the UN. Israel's
:17:22. > :17:29.campaign against includes a video blaming the Palestinians for not
:17:29. > :17:34.accepting a Jewish state. What about security arrangements? What
:17:34. > :17:39.about Jerusalem? It will need to be agreed. In an agreement, you give
:17:39. > :17:46.and take. In a resolution, you just take, that is the biggest thing.
:17:46. > :17:49.This is not what it seems. Both sides are Israelis. They are
:17:49. > :17:54.rehearsing for an attack by Palestinians on a Jewish settlement
:17:54. > :17:59.in the West Bank. Many Israelis predict a UN vote will touch off
:17:59. > :18:02.new violence. The ingredients of this conflict are always the same,
:18:02. > :18:07.and what the Palestinians are trying to do is to change the
:18:07. > :18:11.diplomatic game decisively in their favour. It is a risky strategy,
:18:11. > :18:15.given the hostility at the Israelis and the Americans. The talk of
:18:15. > :18:19.imminent violence may be overdone, but there is no doubt that the
:18:19. > :18:25.temperature is rising again. The conflict is going to continue,
:18:25. > :18:29.whatever happens at the UN next week. The question is whether the
:18:29. > :18:33.Palestinian UN tactic makes matters better or worse.
:18:34. > :18:39.Jeremy is in Jerusalem now. How significant is his application by
:18:39. > :18:42.the Palestinian President to apply for full membership of the UN?
:18:42. > :18:45.think it is significant, significant because it shows very
:18:45. > :18:49.clearly the way the Palestinians want to go, which is no surprise,
:18:49. > :18:54.but it also shows that they are doing it in defiance of what the
:18:54. > :18:58.Americans want and what the Israelis say as possible. They are
:18:58. > :19:04.prepared to precipitate a crisis, to try to change the diplomatic
:19:04. > :19:08.game. Now, when they come back from the UN, they are hoping to enhance
:19:08. > :19:12.their negotiating position so that when they go into talks again, they
:19:12. > :19:17.will have, they say, the will of the international community behind
:19:17. > :19:21.them, and that will strengthen them. I think, though, it is going to be
:19:21. > :19:25.a difficult time, because the Americans are going to veto this,
:19:25. > :19:30.they say. The Israelis are talking about all kinds of retaliation,
:19:30. > :19:35.possibly damaging financial retaliation. So the jury is still
:19:35. > :19:43.out about which way this is going to go, whether it will make things
:19:43. > :19:47.better or precipitate a new crisis. It was put up two decades ago to
:19:47. > :19:51.calm sectarian violence in Belfast, and now a section of the three-
:19:51. > :19:54.metre high peace wall which runs through a park has a gate and has
:19:54. > :19:56.been open for the first time. It will be left open for the next

:21:12. > :21:18.park and show them all around the park. The adults were excited, too.
:21:18. > :21:23.For me, this is on a par with the Berlin Wall. I am just so pleased
:21:23. > :21:26.to be part of living history here in Northern Ireland. But the so-
:21:26. > :21:31.called peace Gate will not be up and one of the time. It will be
:21:32. > :21:38.shut every afternoon at 3 o'clock. It will also be closed at weekends.
:21:38. > :21:41.The divisions in Northern Ireland Randi. There are 59 peace walls.
:21:41. > :21:50.Removing these barriers will be a long and difficult process. But
:21:50. > :21:53.today at least it began. Back to our top story now, and
:21:53. > :21:58.confirmation that Paul four miners trapped below ground in Wales have
:21:58. > :22:02.died. -- All four. There is a strong sense of community around
:22:02. > :22:05.the mine in the Swansea Valley. There may only be a handful of
:22:05. > :22:11.working mines left, but the dangers of the industry have always cast a
:22:11. > :22:13.shadow. Colette Hume reports from a town near the colliery where the
:22:13. > :22:16.events have affected the entire town.
:22:16. > :22:20.These valleys are no stranger to tragedy. Over the years,
:22:21. > :22:29.communities across Wales have paid a heavy price for coal. Today, this
:22:29. > :22:35.community is paying a heavy price In this town of just 5,000 people,
:22:35. > :22:40.everyone has a connection with mining. The castle was once a Minas
:22:40. > :22:45.pub. On a handful of men work in small private minds, but emotions
:22:45. > :22:50.run deep. We used to hear about accidents like this happening years
:22:50. > :22:56.ago, but we rarely hear of events happening like this now, so it is
:22:56. > :23:04.even worse. I am devastated, really. I'm not sure if I know anybody
:23:04. > :23:10.working there, but I know a lot of local people. It does bring it home
:23:10. > :23:15.to you that it is a hard life that they have, where they work. This
:23:15. > :23:20.town, like so many in South Wales, was built on coal. Generations
:23:20. > :23:25.worked in the minds, and it is in this community that the families
:23:25. > :23:30.will find support. The fact that you feel that the community is
:23:30. > :23:35.growing together to support them as best as they possibly can, you can
:23:35. > :23:39.only feel for them and all of them. Mining was once the biggest
:23:39. > :23:46.industry in Wales, and every family knew the risks the men faced when
:23:46. > :23:49.they went to work. But there was little other choice. Tonight, four
:23:49. > :23:53.families have been changed forever by a tragedy which unfolded
:23:54. > :24:02.hundreds of feet underground, a community shaved by Cole is now
:24:02. > :24:06.angry. -- shaped by coal. The shadow Welsh secretary Peter
:24:06. > :24:10.Hain joins us now from the community centre near the mine. You
:24:10. > :24:18.have been there since this rescue operation began. In the last few
:24:18. > :24:21.minutes, it is a tragic day for families there. Yes, they have been
:24:21. > :24:24.through tortuous long hours. Yesterday, right through the night,
:24:24. > :24:29.around 3am, discovering and hearing that the first body had been
:24:29. > :24:33.recovered, the first dead miner had been recovered, but he had not been
:24:33. > :24:41.brought out, so they could not be identified. Seven long hours, they
:24:41. > :24:45.wondered which of the four family's, they did not know, and then another
:24:45. > :24:50.dead miner was found but could not be recovered and brought out.
:24:50. > :24:53.Finally, of course, utter despair, as we know. Their courage and
:24:53. > :24:57.determination help them through that, but they have been through a
:24:57. > :25:01.nightmare that almost nobody could imagine. The rescue effort to find
:25:01. > :25:06.the men, it was unflagging, the determination to try to find a sign
:25:06. > :25:12.of life. Yes, it was, and these were terrible conditions. The water
:25:12. > :25:15.had to be pumped out. First, divers went down, debris, darkness, sludge,
:25:15. > :25:20.or the difficulties of that, and then the water was pumped out and
:25:20. > :25:24.the rescue workers went down, superhuman, showing fantastic
:25:24. > :25:31.energy and relentless dedication. And they were not sure whether they
:25:31. > :25:33.might find the roof falling in on them, so this was a rescue
:25:33. > :25:37.operation that at least these families could cling on to that
:25:37. > :25:42.meant everything was being done to try to recover their loved ones,
:25:42. > :25:46.and sadly, desperately, that was not possible, as we now know.
:25:46. > :25:50.are the local MP. What is your sense of how the community will
:25:50. > :25:57.pull together now? Well, everybody is already pulling together. These
:25:57. > :26:01.are communities in the South Wales valleys, where everybody has got a
:26:01. > :26:04.caring spirit for each other. That is what expresses the mining
:26:04. > :26:09.communities. They go back generations, and they never thought
:26:09. > :26:12.they would have a tragedy like this. They will come together, but the
:26:12. > :26:15.families are going to need a lot of support as they come to terms with
:26:15. > :26:19.their grief and what they have lost and the horror that they have been
:26:19. > :26:24.through. I'm sure everybody will rally in the spirit of the way they
:26:24. > :26:28.have done over the last 36 hours or so, but they will need it even more,
:26:28. > :26:34.that support that these valleys are also renowned for. Peter Hain,
:26:34. > :26:40.thank you very much for joining us from the Swansea Valley.
:26:40. > :26:45.Let's take a look at the weekend Not a complete washout, but we will
:26:45. > :26:48.need to be prepared for showers wherever you live. Blustery showers,
:26:48. > :26:54.too, across the southern half of the UK, where it will be quite
:26:54. > :26:58.windy. Nowhere will be terribly warm. Some rain across the North of
:26:58. > :27:02.Scotland, then showers rattling in from the West made in a night, so a
:27:02. > :27:06.speckling of showers first thing in the morning. Some brightness around,
:27:06. > :27:10.but a keen old wind blowing those showers through Northern Ireland,
:27:10. > :27:15.across the Irish Sea. Thundery across north-west England and Wales.
:27:15. > :27:19.The breeze means that those showers will move through quite quickly, so
:27:19. > :27:22.in no one play should it be raining for that long, but on the other
:27:22. > :27:28.side of the kind, the sunshine should not last long either. It
:27:28. > :27:32.will be one of those days. It will feel quite cool in the breeze,
:27:32. > :27:36.temperatures around 15 degrees typically. Across northern England,
:27:36. > :27:39.the winds lighter, the showers further north will last that much
:27:39. > :27:43.longer, so although yes across Scotland there will be sunshine, if
:27:44. > :27:48.you get underneath one of those showers, it could last quite a
:27:48. > :27:53.while. Blustery around the southwesterly coasts, and wherever
:27:53. > :28:00.you are, despite sunshine, it will fill decidedly cool, especially
:28:00. > :28:05.with the showers. 16-18 degrees, maybe 19 across the south-east in
:28:05. > :28:09.prolonged sunshine. No two days are exactly the same, but it would be
:28:09. > :28:13.very different on Sunday. Showery rain for a time across the heart of
:28:13. > :28:17.England, some sunshine if you are lucky, but do not rely on it to
:28:17. > :28:22.stay dry. If you are in the Great North Run, it will not be too warm,
:28:22. > :28:29.but go prepared for quite heavy showers. A mixed weekend, more
:28:30. > :28:34.A reminder of the main news: The bodies of four four miners have
