:00:25. > :00:29.The three marines deny murder - one claims he thought the Afghan was

:00:30. > :00:33.already dead when he shot him. Also tonight: Britain's three top

:00:34. > :00:35.spy chiefs testify about their role in public for the first time at

:00:39. > :00:55.nuclear reactor at Japan's Fukushima plant since the tsunami, as

:00:56. > :01:01.engineers try to stabilise it. The whole of this building was blown

:01:02. > :01:04.apart by the scene army. -- soon army. Twitter shares soar as

:01:05. > :01:08.the company goes public, taking it to a value of more than $30 billion.

:01:18. > :01:22.ahead of Remembrance Sunday. In the sport, AP McCoy has done it. He has

:01:23. > :01:44.ridden 4000 winners in his career, the final one coming this afternoon.

:01:45. > :01:51.Good evening and welcome to the BBC news. At the court-martial of three

:01:52. > :01:59.Royal Marines accused of killing an Afghan, an audio tape has been made

:02:00. > :02:04.public. One Marine can be heard offering to shoot the Afghan in the

:02:05. > :02:07.head. Laughter and a gunshot are heard. All three have pleaded not

:02:08. > :02:16.guilty. Caroline Wyatt is in Bulford. The evidence has been

:02:17. > :02:20.pretty harrowing? That is right. The court martial has gone on for more

:02:21. > :02:23.than two weeks. There has been much evidence heard in open court. We

:02:24. > :02:36.have not seen the defendants because of the anonymity. They have said

:02:37. > :02:40.behind a screen. The prosecution showed the video in full to the

:02:41. > :02:45.board, or the jury, made up entirely of seven personnel from the Royal

:02:46. > :02:50.Marines and the Royal Navy. This was a highly unusual case. The

:02:51. > :02:55.first time British forces have been put on trial for murder during the

:02:56. > :03:02.12 year campaign in Afghanistan. Three Royal Marines were accused of

:03:03. > :03:12.murdering an unknown Afghan in Helmand province. They were granted

:03:13. > :03:18.anonymity. That they they had been sent out to a field near their base

:03:19. > :03:21.to do battlefield damage assessment after an Apache attack helicopter

:03:22. > :03:26.was called in to fire at an insurgent. For the first time we can

:03:27. > :03:32.show you stills taken from the video footage from Marine B's helmet

:03:33. > :03:36.camera, which sparked this trial after it was found a computer by

:03:37. > :03:42.civilian police. The audio of what happened was released today. On it,

:03:43. > :04:12.all three marines discuss what to do with the wounded enemy

:04:13. > :04:17.but the personal camera is switched back on again will stop and then, I

:04:18. > :04:45.should warn you, a shot can be heard.

:04:46. > :04:51.The defence from Marine a was that he thought the insurgent was already

:04:52. > :04:57.dead when he fired a pistol. Marines see said he did not realise that the

:04:58. > :05:01.first Marine had fired his weapon and that the discussions were simply

:05:02. > :05:09.dark soldier humour. The Royal Marines faced tough and repeated

:05:10. > :05:18.attacks in Helmand. They lost seven of the own men.

:05:19. > :05:21.The jury on board heard the judge's summing up yesterday and into this

:05:22. > :05:26.morning. He told them to use their judgement on the experience of

:05:27. > :05:29.service life in order to judge each of the defendant's cases

:05:30. > :05:33.individually. They deliberated today. They were sent on tonight.

:05:34. > :05:38.Tomorrow they will continue those deliberations.

:05:39. > :05:42.Thank you, Caroline Wyatt. For the first time, three heads of

:05:43. > :05:46.Britain's spy agencies have appeared in front of MPs and in front of

:05:47. > :05:51.television cameras. A committee of senior MPs and Peers questioned the

:05:52. > :05:56.heads of MI5, MI6 and GHQ for 90 minutes. They said their work

:05:57. > :06:00.protected liberty and democracy in Britain. They claimed revelations by

:06:01. > :06:08.Edward Snowden and damaged the UK's security.

:06:09. > :06:13.Not long ago the identity of these three men would itself have been

:06:14. > :06:17.secret. Their job, to spy for Britain and run its three

:06:18. > :06:21.intelligence agencies. Andrew Parker is the head of the Security service,

:06:22. > :06:28.MI5, dealing with domestic threats like terrorism. Sir John Sawers is

:06:29. > :06:34.the chief of MI6, collecting intelligence abroad from agents. Sir

:06:35. > :06:37.Iain Lobban is the director of GCHQ which monitors global

:06:38. > :06:43.Communications. All three warned of the threats they see, especially

:06:44. > :06:46.from terrorism. More British citizens have been killed overseas

:06:47. > :06:52.in 2013 than in the previous seven years combined. I think our job is

:06:53. > :07:02.harder, has got harder, is getting harder. 34 plots have been disrupted

:07:03. > :07:05.in this country. GCHQ -- GCHQ has been in the spotlight recently with

:07:06. > :07:10.questions over whether it has been using its surveillance against

:07:11. > :07:17.ordinary people. The agency heads said it was not listening to

:07:18. > :07:25.people's phone calls. That led to a question from Sir Malcolm Rifkind. I

:07:26. > :07:29.will say that I believe that certain methods should remain secret. We

:07:30. > :08:33.have to talk about whether there has been damage from that. I do not

:08:34. > :08:41.think There were no angry exchanges and no secret Scots built. But what

:08:42. > :08:46.those of us upstairs in the room got was a glimpse of what Britain's

:08:47. > :08:56.spies are really like. Most of what they do will continue to be secret.

:08:57. > :09:01.MPs set least ?140 million spent on the government's flagship welfare

:09:02. > :09:08.reform, universal credit, they have to be written off. The government

:09:09. > :09:14.insists the scheme will continue to be rolled out step I step. Our

:09:15. > :09:19.Deputy political editor has more. It is one of the government's list

:09:20. > :09:23.reforms, an attempt to overhaul the welfare system which will affect

:09:24. > :09:29.millions of people. Some people are worried it will not go to plan. My

:09:30. > :09:33.worry is there is enough blame to go around. This case indicates a

:09:34. > :09:39.fundamental failure of leadership across the piece. The aim of

:09:40. > :09:44.universal credit is to create a welfare system which is simpler and

:09:45. > :09:47.cheaper. Six benefits such as job-seeker's allowance and tax

:09:48. > :09:55.credits will be merged into one single credit. 8 million households

:09:56. > :09:59.receiving benefit could be affected. Some of those testing the new scheme

:10:00. > :10:06.say it does not work. Ron Beswick started claiming two months ago when

:10:07. > :10:12.he lost his building job. It does not do what it says on the box.

:10:13. > :10:19.Nothing happens in the timescales they are saying. A string of

:10:20. > :10:23.critical reports raises implications, above all about the

:10:24. > :10:32.computer systems needed to process claims. Today a report criticising

:10:33. > :10:37.is the extremely poor management, leaving personal assistants

:10:38. > :10:44.authorising deals. In all, ?140 million of unused software may have

:10:45. > :10:46.to be written off. Who is to blame? The man ultimately responsible is

:10:47. > :10:57.Iain Duncan Smith. He insists actions have been taken. Others

:10:58. > :11:02.blame Robert Devereux. Today there were claims that Mr Duncan Smith and

:11:03. > :11:09.his allies had asked Tory MPs to criticise directly in their report.

:11:10. > :11:14.Iain Duncan Smith did not approach me. Beyond that, I cannot comment.

:11:15. > :11:26.This blame game shows what is at stake. Ministers believe that making

:11:27. > :11:29.cuts in welfare is popular. But the problems are jeopardising the

:11:30. > :11:33.Government's reputation. The Government are taking it

:11:34. > :11:38.step-by-step. The way we are doing it is not by some big bank project

:11:39. > :11:42.we saw from the Labour government. We are taking it step-by-step, first

:11:43. > :11:47.in Manchester, now in London, to make sure we get it right. The

:11:48. > :11:51.latest plans to rescue universal credit will be announced within

:11:52. > :11:56.weeks. The idea of introducing the scheme more slowly is being

:11:57. > :12:00.considered by ministers. The jury in the hacking trial of

:12:01. > :12:04.Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson has heard that recordings of voice mail

:12:05. > :12:08.mail 's were found in a safe at News International. The messages were

:12:09. > :12:12.left by former Home Secretary David Blunkett on the mobile phone account

:12:13. > :12:21.of a woman he was in a relationship with. Tom Symonds is at the Old

:12:22. > :12:26.Bailey. What was said in court? The 2004 saw -- story of David Blunkett

:12:27. > :12:31.and Kimberly Quinn and the affair never having, was a big front-page

:12:32. > :12:36.splash. The court heard it was sourced through phone hacking. Those

:12:37. > :12:42.voice mail messages were, the court heard, deeply personal. They were

:12:43. > :12:45.found with the recordings of them in a safe at News International, along

:12:46. > :12:48.with a piece of paper which had a version of the story written by

:12:49. > :12:53.Neville Thurlbeck, the chief reporter of the News of the World.

:12:54. > :13:00.He used the code names big ears and noddy. The court heard that Andy

:13:01. > :13:05.Coulson, then the editor, went to David Blunkett and said he had this

:13:06. > :13:10.story, in an attempt to get it's confirmed. The conversation they had

:13:11. > :13:13.was recorded. The jury heard the tape. Mr Coulson said that if the

:13:14. > :13:17.story was true and if Mr Blunkett did not deal with it, then his

:13:18. > :13:23.sources would take that information to another newspaper. Mr Coulson did

:13:24. > :13:27.say that he was not able to lay out clear-cut evidence, but he believed

:13:28. > :13:30.it to be true. It was the Crown's case that he could not lay at the

:13:31. > :13:35.evidence because it was illegally gathered. The Crown say that Andy

:13:36. > :13:39.Coulson knows all about that. Mr Coulson denies the charges against

:13:40. > :13:43.him. A man accused of the manslaughter of

:13:44. > :13:47.two teenage girls who died after being hit by a car, sobbed in court

:13:48. > :13:51.as the details of the crash were read out. Samuel Etherington from

:13:52. > :13:58.Gosport was remanded in custody until he appears in Winchester court

:13:59. > :14:02.tomorrow. It has been keenly anticipated stock

:14:03. > :14:10.market flotation. Today, the sale of Twitter exceeded -- Twitter exceeded

:14:11. > :14:11.expectations. They fetched almost double what they were expected to

:14:12. > :14:32.fetch. Twitter takes flight on the New York

:14:33. > :14:34.Stock Exchange. It was the start of trading on the social media

:14:35. > :14:43.phenomenon. On the floor of the exchange, one of the founders

:14:44. > :14:50.captures the excitement. Tweeting a video as the share price soars. It

:14:51. > :14:55.is such a simple tool, yet people have done so many amazing things

:14:56. > :14:59.with it. The Twitter team has spent the last few weeks explaining to

:15:00. > :15:05.investors why a company which has yet to make a profit would be a

:15:06. > :15:09.great bet. It all began in 2006 with this tweet from one of Twitter's

:15:10. > :15:16.founders. It now has more than 230 million users, from President is

:15:17. > :15:19.celebrating an election victory, to celebrities like Justin Bieber

:15:20. > :15:24.telling his followers that Brazil has been incredible. Twitter even

:15:25. > :15:29.tweeted the details of its own shares sale. Now it has to prove

:15:30. > :15:34.that it is a serious business. Twitter's opening share price valued

:15:35. > :15:42.this still young company at ?19 billion. Royal Mail is worth less

:15:43. > :15:48.than 6 million. Facebook, and social network based in California, is

:15:49. > :15:52.worth more than ?74 million. -- and other social network. Companies from

:15:53. > :16:01.silicon valley met British firms in London today. Why can't the UK catch

:16:02. > :16:04.a Twitter? There is a track record in the states which says it is

:16:05. > :16:09.possible. We don't yet have a place where you can do that in Europe. I

:16:10. > :16:14.think the secret is that we encourage and foster creativity,

:16:15. > :16:19.innovation, a culture of trial and error. Investors are already showing

:16:20. > :16:24.great faith that Twitter can start making big profits. For users, that

:16:25. > :16:36.could mean they will find plenty of adverts among their tweets.

:16:37. > :16:38.Our top story this evening: The court-martial of three Marines

:16:39. > :16:46.accused of killing an Afghan releases the tape discussing

:16:47. > :16:56.shooting him. And still to come: He has done it! The 39-year-old makes

:16:57. > :17:01.racing history with his 4000th win. Coming up in Sportsday: Roy Hodgson

:17:02. > :17:16.speaks for the first time about an inappropriate joke he told at

:17:17. > :17:22.half-time. There is going to be a task of

:17:23. > :17:27.extraordinary delicacy and danger, but engineers at Japan's Fukushima

:17:28. > :17:37.nuclear part are beginning a key step to finally repair one of the

:17:38. > :17:44.damaged reactors. The power station was hit during the tsunami in 2011.

:17:45. > :17:48.It will take nearly a year to move 500 tonnes of radioactive fuel into

:17:49. > :17:52.safe storage. Our correspondent Rupert Wingfield Hayes is one of a

:17:53. > :17:58.small number of journalists are allowed inside reactor number 4 for

:17:59. > :18:04.the first time since the disaster. This is Fukushima reactor number 4.

:18:05. > :18:11.Inside is nearly 500 tonnes of toxic nuclear fuel, enough radiation to

:18:12. > :18:16.cause two Schnabels. The explosions which tore through Fukushima in 2011

:18:17. > :18:22.shattered three of the buildings -- two Chernobyls. Last time I came

:18:23. > :18:28.here, this is what reactor four look like. Now it has been transformed.

:18:29. > :18:32.Today, for the first time since the disaster, a group of foreign

:18:33. > :18:38.journalists were allowed inside. This is why we were brought in here.

:18:39. > :18:43.I am standing on top of what used to be reactor building four. This is

:18:44. > :18:49.the cooling pool where there is a large amount of nuclear fuel. 1000

:18:50. > :18:55.500 fuel assemblies down inside that pool. They have been there ever

:18:56. > :19:01.since the disaster. Now the operation to take those out is going

:19:02. > :19:05.to begin. It will be a difficult and delicate operation. The fuel may

:19:06. > :19:12.have been damaged so pulling it out like this could be dangerous. Some

:19:13. > :19:16.antinuclear groups say and accident during this operation could be

:19:17. > :19:23.catastrophic. What does the man in charge say? Is it safe to say that

:19:24. > :19:33.scenario is impossible? Another large-scale disaster is impossible?

:19:34. > :19:41.TRANSLATION: I personally think it is impossible. Even if this goes

:19:42. > :19:47.without a hitch, it is just the tip of a very large radioactive iceberg.

:19:48. > :19:50.When we were back inside reactor building number four, my radiation

:19:51. > :19:57.monitor was reading about 250 counts per second. This behind me is

:19:58. > :20:02.reactor three. As our bus drove past it to the radiation reading shot up

:20:03. > :20:07.to 2500 counts per second. How on earth they are going to start

:20:08. > :20:14.cleaning up Fukushima's other reactors, nobody knows.

:20:15. > :20:18.The terror suspect who fled from a West London mosque disguised in a

:20:19. > :20:26.burka last Friday is seeking compensation from the government. It

:20:27. > :20:29.has been revealed in the High Court that Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed, who cut

:20:30. > :20:32.off his electronic tag before he disappeared, insist the British

:20:33. > :20:35.authorities were complicit in his torture in Somaliland in 2011. Our

:20:36. > :20:41.correspondent June Kelly is at the Home Office. This application for

:20:42. > :20:47.compensation was underway before he disappeared, wasn't it? Yes, that is

:20:48. > :20:52.right. There is a joint action involving Mohammed and another

:20:53. > :20:57.terrorism suspect. Both are of Somali origin and both are said to

:20:58. > :21:00.have fought with the terror organisation Al-Shabab. They say

:21:01. > :21:05.they were tortured by the authorities and this was done by the

:21:06. > :21:09.complicity of the British state. The big question is, how do you have a

:21:10. > :21:13.court case when the main man is missing? We are told these court

:21:14. > :21:17.cases do not just fall away because someone has vanished. There is a

:21:18. > :21:22.hearing in this case tomorrow and the judge may go through the

:21:23. > :21:25.formalities of asking Mohammed's lawyers are you still taking

:21:26. > :21:29.instructions from this man? When they say, no we are not, that is

:21:30. > :21:33.when his case may come to an end. Thank you.

:21:34. > :21:39.Britain's newest deep sea container port is opening on the North bank of

:21:40. > :21:45.the Thames. London Gateway has been built by the Dubai owned company DP

:21:46. > :21:48.World. The port will be the UK's second largest when fully

:21:49. > :21:52.operational and will be capable of accommodating the biggest cargo

:21:53. > :21:58.ships in the world. Champion jockey Tony McCoy has made racing history

:21:59. > :22:01.today by riding his 4000th winner at Towcester this afternoon.

:22:02. > :22:06.The 39-year-old Northern Irishman has more wins than any other

:22:07. > :22:10.national hunt jockey. Joe Wilson was watching a thrilling ride.

:22:11. > :22:16.If there is a day with a Y in it, there will be a horse with AP McCoy

:22:17. > :22:27.on it. He will travel anywhere for a winner. Today he was at Towcester on

:22:28. > :22:30.a horse called Mountain Tunes. Can he do it? The wait for a fourth

:22:31. > :22:39.thousandth winner had enthralled the sport. This took every ounce of Tony

:22:40. > :22:44.McCoy's ability. He retrieved a situation which looked hopeless to

:22:45. > :22:50.win. Celebrations were emotional but a waste of alcohol. McCoy does not

:22:51. > :22:57.drink. You are washing champagne out of your eyes. How does that feel? It

:22:58. > :23:03.is an amazing feeling. For the first time in my life I have been really

:23:04. > :23:09.proud of what I achieved. Today my wife and my daughter, whose birthday

:23:10. > :23:13.it is tomorrow, and my little boy and my dad are here. I have spent a

:23:14. > :23:16.lot of time in the hospital in my life and it is physically and

:23:17. > :23:23.mentally demanding at times but there is no better sport in the

:23:24. > :23:31.world. The respect for AP McCoy in racing is unique. 4000 winners. That

:23:32. > :23:36.is 1500 ahead of the next best jump jockey. It is a tale of utter

:23:37. > :23:41.dedication. McCoy's regime is ruthless. To keep to ten stone in

:23:42. > :23:47.weight he will skip many meals altogether and there is barely a

:23:48. > :23:51.bone in his body he has not broken. He has forced himself to endure

:23:52. > :24:03.record low-temperature is in a modern torture tame the -- chamber.

:24:04. > :24:07.If you had spoken to a few hours ago I would not have spoken to you but

:24:08. > :24:13.it is brilliant to get it over. It is suddenly dawning on me how proud

:24:14. > :24:23.I am of him. He has now written a novel but he has not finished with

:24:24. > :24:27.the familiar. A peep McCoy's profession is there is always

:24:28. > :24:30.another winner to ride somewhere -- AP McCoy.

:24:31. > :24:37.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge sub prized Londoners today as they

:24:38. > :24:43.joined poppy sellers outside an underground station. They travelled

:24:44. > :24:48.there by bus. For the first time, Prince Harry was accompanying the

:24:49. > :24:50.Duke of Edinburgh for his annual visit to the Field of Remembrance at

:24:51. > :24:54.Westminster Abbey. Nicholas Witchell reports.

:24:55. > :24:59.Here is something you do not see very often, the Duke and Duchess of

:25:00. > :25:05.Cambridge on a red London bus. Not any old London bus, a Royal British

:25:06. > :25:08.Legion red poppy bus which took the couple on a brief visit to an

:25:09. > :25:12.underground station close to their Kensington Palace home. The purpose,

:25:13. > :25:17.to offer support to service men and women taking part in this year's

:25:18. > :25:22.Remembrance Day Poppy Appeal. At 11 o'clock in the Field of Remembrance

:25:23. > :25:27.I Westminster Abbey, Prince Harry stood side-by-side with the Duke of

:25:28. > :25:30.Edinburgh. A grandfather who saw active service in the Second World

:25:31. > :25:36.War, with a grandson, who this time last year, was serving in

:25:37. > :25:39.Afghanistan. Placing their crosses with those who honour service men

:25:40. > :25:43.and women who have perished in nearly a century of conflict, from

:25:44. > :25:48.the Western Front in the First World War to the more recent casualties of

:25:49. > :25:52.Afghanistan. Harry was there at the invitation of his grandfather, for

:25:53. > :25:56.whom remembrance duties have been a regular and important part of life

:25:57. > :25:59.for years. The Duke remains very busy. He will be attending five

:26:00. > :26:04.different remembrance events over the next few days, most with the
