:01:49. > :01:53.took off from Amsterdam this morning, bound for Kuala Lumpur. Its
:01:54. > :02:01.flight path took it over the Donetsk region. It came down near a village
:02:02. > :02:06.called Grabove. There are reports of many dead bodies near the site of
:02:07. > :02:13.the crash. A plume of smoke rising into the sky, in eastern Ukraine

:02:29. > :02:34.But eyewitnesses in this region say they have scene burning wreckage and
:02:35. > :02:38.bodies on the ground. Malaysian Airlines put out this
:02:39. > :02:43.message on social media. That it has lost contact with the flight which
:02:44. > :02:48.was en route to Kuala Lumpur. The manufacturer Boeing also said it was

:03:04. > :03:07.and the Ukrainian military. The pro-Russian separatists have
:03:08. > :03:11.controlled parts of eastern Ukraine for several months now. And have
:03:12. > :03:17.shot down military planes and helicopters in the past.
:03:18. > :03:20.They are known to have short range anti-aircraft missilings and
:03:21. > :03:23.according to some reports have been seen with qlefr weapons. We are
:03:24. > :03:28.talking about something significant indeed. There is already, they have
:03:29. > :03:35.used tankings and they don't find them lie Tong street. They have
:03:36. > :03:38.supplies of sophisticated weapons. It would be damaging for them and
:03:39. > :03:41.the Russian case if they have the sort of weapons that shoot down
:03:42. > :03:45.civilian aircraft, but even more damaging, if it turns out that the
:03:46. > :03:51.missile, if there was a missile, came from the Russian side of the
:03:52. > :03:53.border. These unverified photographs
:03:54. > :03:57.apparently show some of the wreckage of the Malaysian plane. The
:03:58. > :04:00.separatists deny they shot it down, blaming instead the Ukrainian
:04:01. > :04:04.military. But, at the moment, it is still not
:04:05. > :04:13.known if it was brought down by military action.
:04:14. > :04:18.Our correspondent is in Amsterdam for us now. The plane took off from
:04:19. > :04:22.Amsterdam, what more are you hearing from there? Well, we have been
:04:23. > :04:26.speaking to officials here at the airport throughout the afternoon.
:04:27. > :04:31.They say that they have just seen the tweet from Malaysian Airlines
:04:32. > :04:35.confirming they lost radar contact with the plane. They see when they
:04:36. > :04:38.got confirmation of what has happened, they will be prepared to
:04:39. > :04:46.support the families of the relatives of those who were onboard
:04:47. > :04:50.MH17. The flight left here at 12.14, 14 minutes after the scheduled
:04:51. > :04:54.departure time. This is very much still a breaking news situation, so
:04:55. > :04:59.we are expecting to get more details from here at the airport throughout
:05:00. > :05:05.the evening. Thank you. Our defence correspondent
:05:06. > :05:08.is here. Jonathan, we should stress these reports that the plan plane
:05:09. > :05:13.was shot down are unconfirmed but this is an area of great tension,
:05:14. > :05:18.what light can you shed, could it have been shot down? Let us look at
:05:19. > :05:25.the facts so far. We know a number of Ukrainian aircraft have been shot
:05:26. > :05:30.down, and there is already a suspicion that pro-Russian rebels
:05:31. > :05:32.have access to portable surface-to-air missile they can
:05:33. > :05:37.carry round. They are short range, you would have to see the plane
:05:38. > :05:41.before they fired it. This is very different. This was passenger plane
:05:42. > :05:46.flying at 30,000 feet, about ten kilometres high. It would have had
:05:47. > :05:51.to have a much more sophisticated weapon system to lock on the that,
:05:52. > :05:56.you are talking about radar. So the kind of equipment and range of
:05:57. > :05:59.missile that would be held by a well-equipped, well funded military,
:06:00. > :06:03.and you are looking in that region at Ukraine and Russia, both
:06:04. > :06:06.countries deny it. I think the west will reserve judgment. The other
:06:07. > :06:09.possibility it could have been a fighter jet with an air-to-air
:06:10. > :06:14.missile. I think that is unlikely. But it's a mystery at the moment.
:06:15. > :06:21.You will have both the Americans and NATO looking at satellite imagery
:06:22. > :06:24.and they will be able to identify plumes, ultraviolet plumes that will
:06:25. > :06:32.show up if it was a surface-to-air missile and where it came from.

:13:37. > :13:41.carried out the Hyde Park bombing. One of the most notorious attacks of
:13:42. > :13:45.the Troubles. Four soldiers were killed, and earlier this year, there

:13:50. > :13:53.couldn't be tried because of what the judge viewed as a promise made
:13:54. > :13:57.by the British Government. He was given a letter assuring him he was
:13:58. > :14:03.not wanted by any police force in the UK. Today's report says that was
:14:04. > :14:07.a dreadful mistake. The conclusion of Lady Justice
:14:08. > :14:10.Hallett is the fact a catastrophic mistake had been made and that
:14:11. > :14:15.cannot be undone. She recommends the families come to terms with that. We

:14:57. > :15:01.that was identified by not rectified by police. And the review finds that

:15:29. > :15:33.Justice Hallett refers to as being an error. This is a very detailed
:15:34. > :15:37.report. But Lady Justice Hallett chooses her words carefully. She
:15:38. > :15:43.says the scheme wasn't secret, but it was kept below the radar. And she
:15:44. > :15:47.says it was not unlawful, but it was unprecedented.

:21:39. > :21:40.an historic moment for Northern Ireland's Alanna Audley-Murphy.
:21:41. > :21:43.The Belfast-born boxer will be become one of the first women ever
:21:44. > :21:55.to step into the ring at the Games but, as she told Katie Gornall,
:21:56. > :22:02.I've been here 11 years now. It is a run down area. It's an estate.
:22:03. > :22:05.Growing up as a kid it is not easy. But the club has gotten the kids off
:22:06. > :22:09.the street. In the heart of East Belfast, in
:22:10. > :22:12.the street. city that revers its boxers, Alanna
:22:13. > :22:17.Audley-Murphy is getting ready to make history. She will be one of the
:22:18. > :22:20.first women to box at the Commonwealth Games, although the
:22:21. > :22:25.road to Glasgow has been a long one. I have been boxing since a little
:22:26. > :22:29.girl. It has been a long time waiting. My first exhibition was
:22:30. > :22:35.against a boy. There were no girls to match me. I'm sure some were
:22:36. > :22:39.against it, it is male-dominated but times have changed.
:22:40. > :22:44.28-year-old, Alanna Audley-Murphy spends most of her time in England.
:22:45. > :22:49.She is the army's most successful female boxer. But the Games have
:22:50. > :22:52.brought her back home to train and to retrace her roots.
:22:53. > :22:59.This is where I grew up. This is my old club.
:23:00. > :23:06.That is not a bad sign? They have myself and other stars of the sports
:23:07. > :23:09.from overseas. Alanna Audley-Murphy credits her friend, Katie Taylor

:23:22. > :23:26.Me and Katie boxed each other in one. The first girls to box in
:23:27. > :23:31.Ireland. The first official fight. So a big part of boxing history.
:23:32. > :23:37.That was an old one. We went to Turkey to box.
:23:38. > :23:42.So when Alanna said at 13, she wanted to box, was it a surprise? I
:23:43. > :23:48.thought it was a great way of training, to maintain your weight.
:23:49. > :23:55.People get nervous but I was like, come on! Have you allowed yourself
:23:56. > :24:03.to dream to think of yourself on the podium? Definitely. Everyone does.
:24:04. > :24:09.To hear the National Anthem and the flag flying in the background. To go
:24:10. > :24:14.home with a Gold Medal to Belfast... Do you think that your face will be
:24:15. > :24:18.there? Definitely. I hope I get a whole wall to myself! That will be
:24:19. > :24:21.great. Now let's take a look at the
:24:22. > :24:28.weather. Alex Deakin is here. It is day one
:24:29. > :24:34.of the heatwave? Well, tomorrow for some it will be hatter but it is not
:24:35. > :24:39.that straightforward. 22 Celsius in Edinburgh. To the south 29 Celsius
:24:40. > :24:43.in West London, the hottest day of the year so far. But although
:24:44. > :24:47.tomorrow is hotter for some, we are starting to see the thunder storm.
:24:48. > :24:51.There is an area of cloud approaching from the north of
:24:52. > :24:56.France. Moving into the south-west in the evening. With flashes of
:24:57. > :25:02.lightening. The storms heading across the Midlands and parts of
:25:03. > :25:07.Wales. So local downpours. You may be woken up by a rumble of thunder.
:25:08. > :25:12.The a warm and the humid night in the south and in the north warmer
:25:13. > :25:16.than last night. The risk of the showers affecting the Open for a
:25:17. > :25:19.time tomorrow morning. Then the zone of showers working its way across
:25:20. > :25:24.Northern Ireland and south-west Scotland. Misty around the coasts in
:25:25. > :25:29.the south-west and in the far north-east. In these areas a little
:25:30. > :25:34.cooler tomorrow. But across central and eastern parts of England, that
:25:35. > :25:39.is where we really see the temperatures soaring. Over 30
:25:40. > :25:43.Celsius. 33 Celsius is possible. The heat and the humidity sparking
:25:44. > :25:48.thunder storms tomorrow night. These will be bigger beasts, breading
:25:49. > :25:52.north across England and Wales for tomorrow night and for Saturday to
:25:53. > :25:56.Scotland and Northern Ireland. Then followed by more thunder storms
:25:57. > :26:01.during the day on Saturday. It does not rain everywhere all day but the
:26:02. > :26:05.potential for the storms to be violent are there. Humid air on
:26:06. > :26:09.Saturday. And on Sunday the risk of big downpours in the east for a
:26:10. > :26:14.time. Scattered showers elsewhere. Starting to turn the temperatures
:26:15. > :26:19.down a notch. Time to bring you up-to-date on the
:26:20. > :26:23.main story: A Malaysia Airlines passenger plane carrying nearly 300
:26:24. > :26:26.people crashed in the Ukraine. Ukraine and Russia deny that they
:26:27. > :26:32.shot it down. Pilots around the world are told to avoid the area.
:26:33. > :26:37.Flights in the air are being re-routed. The flight took off from
:26:38. > :26:42.Amsterdam. Let's talk to our correspondent there for us now.
:26:43. > :26:46.Anna, what more are you hearing there in Amsterdam? I gather that
:26:47. > :26:50.relatives are turning up at the airport? Two new pieces of
:26:51. > :26:55.information. The Dutch Prime Minister is returning from Brussels
:26:56. > :26:59.to deal with the situation here. Also, the officials have confirmed
:27:00. > :27:03.that relatives of passengers on board Flight MH17 have now arrived
:27:04. > :27:09.at the airport and are being looked after here. Anna. Thank you.
:27:10. > :27:15.Our correspondent is here with me again. We still must stress we don't
:27:16. > :27:18.know that the plane was shot down. We have the Ukraine and Russia
:27:19. > :27:22.denying the responsibility for it. There has been a lot of tension in
:27:23. > :27:30.the area for some time. How much will this change things in that
:27:31. > :27:35.area? If it is a surface to air missile responsible for the crash,
:27:36. > :27:39.it is a huge game-changer. This is a civilian airliner. It will involve
:27:40. > :27:48.dozens of countries who will demand answers. If it was a surface-to-air
:27:49. > :27:53.missile it will have been operated by professional military. Not a
:27:54. > :27:57.bunch of rebels but handled from a well-equipped army. There are a lot
:27:58. > :28:02.of questions. It is a mystery. But not for long. There will be lots of
:28:03. > :28:05.analysts trying to get the answers that governments will demand for
:28:06. > :28:10.their own people. They know that loved ones have died here.
:28:11. > :28:15.Thank you. You can get the latest on the plane
:28:16. > :28:19.crash on the BBC News Channel.
