:02:17. > :02:21.members were surrounded by an "arc of crisis" and facing new

:02:41. > :02:46.If decisions about another war are to be taken anywhere, they will
:02:47. > :02:51.surely be taken here, and now, in Newport. More than 60 Presidents and
:02:52. > :02:56.Prime Ministers have gathered for the summit of the most powerful
:02:57. > :03:00.military alliance in the world. NATO's leaders came here expecting
:03:01. > :03:05.to mark the end of a conflict, the withdrawal of western troops from
:03:06. > :03:14.Afghanistan. You put your lives on the line. You fight so that others
:03:15. > :03:18.can be safe, so that those who resort to terror and violence will
:03:19. > :03:22.not succeed. But the leaders gathered in Wales are absorbed
:03:23. > :03:27.instead by what to do about two new conflicts, one to the east, pitting
:03:28. > :03:31.Russia against Ukraine, another to the south, thanks to the mounting
:03:32. > :03:40.threat of the so-called Islamic State. Surrounded by an arc of
:03:41. > :03:45.crisis our Alliance, our transatlantic community, represents
:03:46. > :03:49.an island of security, stability and prosperity. What has brought the
:03:50. > :03:53.violence much closer to home is the brutal beheading of two American
:03:54. > :03:58.journalists, and the chilling threat that this man, British aid worker,
:03:59. > :04:06.David Haines, could be next. A father of two from Perth, he was
:04:07. > :04:10.kidnapped in Syria last March. Barack Obama and David Cameron say
:04:11. > :04:13.the fight against IS is a struggle which could last until these
:04:14. > :04:19.children grow up and have children of their own. They both insist there
:04:20. > :04:22.will be no instant military action, but both are contemplating
:04:23. > :04:26.airstrikes against those they say pose a threat to our way of life. We
:04:27. > :04:29.shouldn't rule out taking further action. We've supported the American
:04:30. > :04:34.airstrikes that have taken place so far. We've played our own role with
:04:35. > :04:41.aircraft, flying surveillance missions. We have provided aid,
:04:42. > :04:45.vitally needed aid that saved lives. We should go on considering
:04:46. > :04:48.vitally needed aid that saved lives. more we can do. That could mean
:04:49. > :04:51.British tornado fighters attacking Islamic State forces.
:04:52. > :05:01.British tornado fighters attacking were used three years ago to attack
:05:02. > :05:04.Colonel Gaddafi supporters in Libya. In truth, of
:05:05. > :05:07.Colonel Gaddafi supporters in Libya. the man on the right will only come
:05:08. > :05:12.when the man on the left makes up his mind what to do. What makes the
:05:13. > :05:16.American President popular with the British public, his calm
:05:17. > :05:20.consideration, sometimes infuriates those waiting for him to take a
:05:21. > :05:25.lead. The people of Newport are delighted that the Presidential
:05:26. > :05:28.motorcade is rolling into town. The question facing President Obama
:05:29. > :05:31.motorcade is rolling into town. The the world is whether he has come
:05:32. > :05:40.with the strategy for confronting Islamic State which, only last week,
:05:41. > :05:45.he admitted he hadn't got. Allies in the Arab world are what Britain and
:05:46. > :05:50.America are now looking for. Step forward the King of Jordan.
:05:51. > :05:55.Meanwhile, as western leaders talked, Ukraine is still burning.
:05:56. > :06:00.NATO says that Russia has fuelled this conflict, sending in not just
:06:01. > :06:10.weapons, but her own troops. We call on Russia to pull back its troops
:06:11. > :06:13.from Ukraine, to stop the flow of arms, fighters to the separatists.
:06:14. > :06:16.Ukraine's President Poroshenko won more support today, but the West
:06:17. > :06:20.will fight Russia, not with weapons, but with a fresh round of sanctions
:06:21. > :06:26.on companies and individuals to be announced tomorrow. On the streets
:06:27. > :06:31.of Newport a few hundred marched against more wars. Watch this space.

:06:36. > :06:39.David Cameron says every possible option is being examined to try to
:06:40. > :06:41.protect the British hostage, 44-year-old David Haines,
:06:42. > :06:44.who is being held by Islamic State. The aid worker from Perth,
:06:45. > :06:47.a father of two, went missing in Syria in March last year.
:06:48. > :06:50.But the Prime Minister said the British Government's policy was
:06:51. > :06:50.not to pay ransoms to terrorists. Our security correspondent,
:06:51. > :07:02.Frank Gardner, reports. Held hostage by Islamic State US
:07:03. > :07:06.journalist James Foley and Steven Sotloff, beheaded by jihadists on
:07:07. > :07:10.video. Now, another western hostage is threatened, David Haines, from
:07:11. > :07:15.Scotland, 44 years old, an aid worker and father of two. He was
:07:16. > :07:19.seized last year at gunpoint while working at this refugee camp, just
:07:20. > :07:24.inside Syria. The Government says it is doing all it can to help him,
:07:25. > :07:29.short of paying a ransom. We won't pay ransoms to terrorists who kidnap
:07:30. > :07:34.our citizens. I know that is difficult for families when they are
:07:35. > :07:37.the victims of these terrorists, but I'm absolutely convinced, from what
:07:38. > :07:41.I've seen, this terrorist organisation, and indeed others
:07:42. > :07:46.around the world, have made tens of millions of dollars from these
:07:47. > :07:51.ransoms. It was only last year, at the G8 Summit, that world leaders
:07:52. > :07:55.agreed unanimously not to pay ransoms to terrorists. But since
:07:56. > :08:01.then there has been a steady stream of European hostages being welcomed
:08:02. > :08:08.home by leaders after being released by their captors. Governments deny
:08:09. > :08:12.paying any money directly. This is an Italian hostage held by IS
:08:13. > :08:16.alongside David Haines from Britain. He was released, Haines was held.
:08:17. > :08:21.For a lot of European countries, the option is simple - they give in to
:08:22. > :08:25.demands, pay the ransom, the hostage gets released, the terrorists get
:08:26. > :08:32.rich. British policy rules out making what they call "substantive
:08:33. > :08:39.concessions to kidnappers" that means no ransom payments or prisoner
:08:40. > :08:43.swaps. That leaves two options. Use intermediaries to try and persuade
:08:44. > :08:48.the kidnappers to give up their capives. Option two, hostage rescue.
:08:49. > :08:51.It's hugely rescue. In the case of the western hostages, held in Syria,
:08:52. > :08:57.it's already been tried by the Americans in July and failed. I
:08:58. > :09:01.think the British Government has a good track record of hostage
:09:02. > :09:05.negotiation and release. A lot of expertise. The British Government
:09:06. > :09:09.has been put under a huge amount of pressure in places like Iraq, and
:09:10. > :09:12.currently in Syria, where the traditional method of negotiation
:09:13. > :09:18.and release isn't available to them. They cannot pay ransoms. Islamic
:09:19. > :09:21.State commanders are using their western hostages to pressure America
:09:22. > :09:25.and Britain to back away and let them overrun more of the Middle
:09:26. > :09:26.East. That is not something world leaders seem ready to alaw. Frank
:09:27. > :09:33.Gardner, BBC News. American warplanes have been
:09:34. > :09:36.stepping up their attacks on the Islamic State fighters
:09:37. > :09:38.in Northern Iraq. Many of the airstrikes have been
:09:39. > :09:40.launched from a US aircraft carrier in the Gulf.
:09:41. > :09:41.From there, our defence correspondent,
:09:42. > :09:53.Jonathan Beale, reports. This is how America's unleashing
:09:54. > :09:56.its military might against Islamic State fighters,
:09:57. > :09:59.from an ever moving piece of US territory, now sailing in the Gulf.
:10:00. > :10:03.Warplanes, from the USS George H Bush, have been
:10:04. > :10:05.targeting the extremists in northern Iraq and even though America's been
:10:06. > :10:09.warned of consequences, they're still dropping these bombs.
:10:10. > :10:13.The crew though is all too aware that western
:10:14. > :10:17.hostages are being held and that their citizens have been beheaded.
:10:18. > :10:22.It affects people, obviously personally,
:10:23. > :10:25.but you can't allow those feelings to affect the way we do our jobs.
:10:26. > :10:31.We, basically, follow orders and we execute
:10:32. > :10:36.the plan as our leaders see fit. So we try to keep the emotion out
:10:37. > :10:38.of it and make it pretty much matter-of-fact and do our job
:10:39. > :10:42.the way we're trained to do it. So far, the strikes have been
:10:43. > :10:46.limited, but they're clearly hitting the extremists hard and helping
:10:47. > :10:50.Kurdish forces retake key territory. They're already launching missions
:10:51. > :10:57.round-the-clock, but they're now waiting orders to do even more.
:10:58. > :11:00.These American warplanes have already been
:11:01. > :11:04.on bombing runs over northern Iraq, but they may now be about to take on
:11:05. > :11:09.a much more difficult and dangerous mission, and that's targeting the
:11:10. > :11:13.Islamic extremists in Syria itself. If these jets are ordered to attack
:11:14. > :11:18.the extremists in Syria, they'll also have to worry about
:11:19. > :11:24.the regime's advanced air defences. I think the training that we had,
:11:25. > :11:27.as a ship, and an air wing team, will allow us to operate
:11:28. > :11:29.in any environment we are tasked to operate in.
:11:30. > :11:32.So you wouldn't be worried if you were ordered to go to Syria?
:11:33. > :11:36.Umm... (PAUSE).
:11:37. > :11:39.Worried might not be a word that I would use.
:11:40. > :11:45.I would say that our training has prepared us well to operate anywhere
:11:46. > :11:48.where we're assigned to operate. President Obama says destroying
:11:49. > :11:51.Islamic State won't be quick or easy, and nor can it be done
:11:52. > :11:52.with American air power alone. Jonathan Beale, BBC News,
:11:53. > :12:03.aboard the USS George H Bush. Let's return now to Newport and
:12:04. > :12:08.speak to our political editor, Nick Robinson. Nick.
:12:09. > :12:13.How likely is it that Britain will get involved with these airstrikes
:12:14. > :12:16.against Islamic State? What is clear to me is that David Cameron, the
:12:17. > :12:21.Prime Minister, has made his own personal decision that this will be
:12:22. > :12:25.the right thing to do. But, it's a very important "but" he set himself
:12:26. > :12:29.a whole set of hurdles that need to be crossed before he did try and do
:12:30. > :12:34.that. First, of course, President Obama himself must come to that same
:12:35. > :12:39.conclusion and persuade the American Congress that it's the right thing
:12:40. > :12:42.to do. He will only do that if there is a new, stable Iraqi government in
:12:43. > :12:46.the next few weeks formed which includes Sunni as well as Shia
:12:47. > :12:51.factions. And, they will then have to make a request for that military
:12:52. > :12:56.action. And, there will then have to be a coalition around the Gulf,
:12:57. > :13:01.around the Arab states so that President Obama and Prime Minister
:13:02. > :13:06.Cameron can say - this is no repeat of what George Bush and Tony Blair
:13:07. > :13:10.did when they invaded Iraq in 2003. Not only will he have to cross all
:13:11. > :13:14.those hurdles, the Prime Minister will have to get the support of
:13:15. > :13:19.parliament. Labour have signalled they are not opposed to this. They
:13:20. > :13:23.are open to being persuaded. Tonight we are told that Conservative whips
:13:24. > :13:25.are going around individual MPs saying - would you vote for this if
:13:26. > :13:35.we decide to do? Nick, thank you. The authorities in Calais have
:13:36. > :13:38.accused the rest of Europe of letting them down by failing to help
:13:39. > :13:42.them deal with the growing number of migrants who've flocked to the
:13:43. > :13:44.town as they try to reach the UK. Dozens of migrants tried to storm
:13:45. > :13:47.a cross-Channel ferry yesterday, and the town's Mayor has threatened
:13:48. > :13:49.to close the port unless the British Government takes action.
:13:50. > :13:50.Our correspondent, Colin Campbell, is in Calais for us.
:13:51. > :13:57.Colin. For years migrants have been trying
:13:58. > :14:01.to get across the channel to England. Yesterday, it all came to a
:14:02. > :14:06.head. 80 migrants rushed their way into Porto try to bored Ferris
:14:07. > :14:09.heading to Dover. None were, it's claimed, successful, the Ferris
:14:10. > :14:13.raised their ramps. French police and security guards rounded them out
:14:14. > :14:18.and put them out of the port -- ferries. Sprinting into Calais Port,
:14:19. > :14:22.pursued by French Police. This is the moment scores of migrants
:14:23. > :14:28.stormed the French ferry terminal. There we go. They are going to make
:14:29. > :14:32.a break for it. Filmed by a British driver, the footage appears to show
:14:33. > :14:38.French security overwhelmed. Those who took part say it was an act of
:14:39. > :14:47.desperation. We were in the road to get to the truck. Then the police
:14:48. > :14:52.came to get us. They spray some gas. We organise it together. We decided
:14:53. > :14:56.to run to the port. They just bring us back from the port by pushing us
:14:57. > :15:02.and gassing us. The British Government says it is funding the
:15:03. > :15:06.bolstering of security here. Funding technology to detect stowaways. The
:15:07. > :15:11.local French authorities say their being let down. We need more
:15:12. > :15:16.co-operation. We need help in that as well. Not only from the
:15:17. > :15:20.government, from the French government, we need involvement from
:15:21. > :15:24.England. From Italy, from the rest of Europe. Migrants here believe
:15:25. > :15:30.they can gain a better life in the UK than they can in France. With up
:15:31. > :15:33.to 1,300 in the town, the port is constantly being targeted. These are
:15:34. > :15:41.migrants trying to climb their way into the UK. Day and night migrants
:15:42. > :15:46.are attempting to breach this perimeter fence. It's a vulnerable
:15:47. > :15:52.area. The trucks that rest here have cleared customs and are awaiting to
:15:53. > :15:55.board Ferris for the UK. When caught we witnessed these two were
:15:56. > :16:03.immediately released. You want to go to England? Yeah. You climb the
:16:04. > :16:09.fence? You climb the Yes. Fence? Si. As numbers swell in Calais,
:16:10. > :16:10.desperation to reach the UK is palpable here and all ways are being
:16:11. > :16:25.tested. Our top story this evening:
:16:26. > :16:27.The Prime Minister says he won't rule out air strikes against
:16:28. > :16:30.Islamic State terrorists, and says he believes there are no
:16:31. > :16:33.legal barriers to taking action. And still to come:

:16:58. > :17:04.After the horsemeat scandal last year, do you feel any more confident
:17:05. > :17:08.about the food you're eating? A new report says gangs have found
:17:09. > :17:11.a market with "huge profits and low risks," and that the UK food
:17:12. > :17:14.industry shows "a worrying lack of knowledge" about what's going on.
:17:15. > :17:19.As a result the Government says it is now going
:17:20. > :17:21.to set up a dedicated food crime unit to protect consumers.
:17:22. > :17:24.There will be more unannounced spot checks on suppliers and retailers,
:17:25. > :17:26.and laboratory testing to check what's in food will be improved
:17:27. > :17:27.and speeded up. Our science correspondent

:18:21. > :18:24.strategy. On its own, it will not function. It has to be supported by
:18:25. > :18:32.the work of industry and different Government agencies. These pictures

:20:25. > :20:28.launched a murder hunt after a mother of five was found stabbed to
:20:29. > :20:30.death in a field in the New Forest. Pennie Davis, who was 47,
:20:31. > :20:33.had been tending her horses near Beaulieu when she was killed.
:20:34. > :20:36.Her husband discovered her body. Our correspondent Duncan Kennedy
:20:37. > :20:43.is at the scene for us. Duncan.
:20:44. > :20:49.As you can imagine, there is complete shock, not only from the
:20:50. > :20:55.family of Pennie Davis, but all those living here. She was found by
:20:56. > :21:01.her husband, her new husband. They had only got married in May. She
:21:02. > :21:04.died of multiple stab wounds. Police asked for witnesses not only from
:21:05. > :21:09.local people but also the thousands of tourists who visit the National
:21:10. > :21:14.Park. They say this is an extremely rare crime in auroral area. They
:21:15. > :21:19.have asked people to be vigilant, but not to worry, they have a big
:21:20. > :21:22.police operation going on here. There are also appealing for
:21:23. > :21:25.witnesses among tourists, local people and others, anybody with any
:21:26. > :21:31.information to come forward as soon as they can. Late this afternoon,
:21:32. > :21:35.Pennie Davis's family released a statement saying, she was a
:21:36. > :21:37.remarkable person, we are overwhelmed by the outpouring of
:21:38. > :21:41.love and grief that her death was caused. The police operation
:21:42. > :21:42.continues into the morning as her family come to terms with this
:21:43. > :21:49.brutal attack. With just two weeks to go
:21:50. > :21:52.until the referendum on Scottish independence, both sides are trying
:21:53. > :21:54.to win over undecided Labour voters, who are believed to be one
:21:55. > :21:58.of the keys to victory. Ed Miliband says Scots should vote
:21:59. > :22:01.no to independence and vote for Labour at the next general election
:22:02. > :22:03.if they want a more equal Scotland. But the SNP leader, Alex Salmond,
:22:04. > :22:05.claims Labour supporters across Scotland are "
:22:06. > :22:13.turning their back on Westminster". From Glasgow, Allan Little reports.
:22:14. > :22:19.What is staring in the old Labour heartlands of Scotland? How many
:22:20. > :22:22.traditional Labour voters are planning to vote yes? The
:22:23. > :22:25.pro-independence campaign has been very active in these communities,
:22:26. > :22:30.arguing that an independent Scotland would be a fairer, more socially
:22:31. > :22:35.just got that. The polls suggest that message is getting through. Ed
:22:36. > :22:39.Miliband came to Glasgow today to talk about social justice, too,
:22:40. > :22:44.saying it would be better served by an elected Labour government at
:22:45. > :22:49.Westminster next year. We are going to build social justice
:22:50. > :22:52.across the UK, freezing energy bills, raising a minimum wage,
:22:53. > :22:57.having fairer taxes, more powers for the Scottish parliament. That is
:22:58. > :23:00.what I will be doing. I hope that Labour voters will vote no in the
:23:01. > :23:05.referendum and be part of a Labour government next May. Labour
:23:06. > :23:15.activists know that they are under pressure to get a prounion vote out
:23:16. > :23:20.on the day. They are union values that are beginning to take root. I'm
:23:21. > :23:23.sure there are people who are turning their back on a daily basis
:23:24. > :23:26.on it together and their scare tactics and bullying.
:23:27. > :23:38.# Better Together. It used to be said that you didn't
:23:39. > :23:45.count the Labour vote in places like this, you weighed it. Labour won
:23:46. > :23:49.every election here for half a century until losing to the SNP in
:23:50. > :23:53.2007. There is no accumulating evidence that the yes campaign have
:23:54. > :23:58.made real inroads into this once solid Labour vote. It is here in the
:23:59. > :24:04.Labour heartlands that this referendum will be decided. If it is
:24:05. > :24:10.a yes vote, it looks like your partners in Better Together are
:24:11. > :24:15.already lining up to blame you. We have people right across Scotland
:24:16. > :24:18.mobilising people, knocking on doors, going out and making the
:24:19. > :24:30.case. I think the most important thing for me to say is the no case
:24:31. > :24:33.is not a case for no change. For the prounion campaign, convincing
:24:34. > :24:38.traditional Labour voters of that is now the most urgent priority.
:24:39. > :24:44.And you can find out more about the
:24:45. > :24:51.referendum with our website bbc.co.uk/Scotland
:24:52. > :24:55.And finally, children at a primary school
:24:56. > :24:59.in South Wales have discovered just how useful social media can be.

:25:31. > :25:33.but didn't expect to end up face-to-face with the President of
:25:34. > :25:42.the United States. I was really nervous! But after all, my own dad
:25:43. > :25:48.said he is an ordinary guy. I was overwhelmed. They just kept smiling
:25:49. > :25:53.at me. You can't pay for that to happen. Money can't buy that. This
:25:54. > :25:56.school was chosen because back in June it sent out a tweet to NATO
:25:57. > :26:00.saying it would quite like a VIP visit. Little did they realise then
:26:01. > :26:05.that that would end up with the resident walking into their
:26:06. > :26:11.classroom. They also had the Prime Minister in the bargain, but only a
:26:12. > :26:15.few of the staff were allowed to know who the VIPs would be. We were
:26:16. > :26:19.told that something significant would probably happen, but in terms
:26:20. > :26:24.of keeping it a secret, one or two people in school knew from the
:26:25. > :26:29.start, and it was very James Bond, a need-to-know basis. What these
:26:30. > :26:33.children need to know is that the rest of term probably

:26:54. > :26:57.weather where, but locally, it is a difference between the sunshine and
:26:58. > :27:02.the gloomy skies. Today on the satellite picture, some areas had
:27:03. > :27:07.beautiful patches of sunshine, across the Midlands it was more
:27:08. > :27:13.cloudy. Cloud is one of the most difficult things to forecast for
:27:14. > :27:20.meteorologists. It really is a case of areas of cloud floating around.
:27:21. > :27:25.But a little rain coming into Scotland and Northern Ireland. We
:27:26. > :27:28.have fresh air coming in from the north, so through tomorrow, a little
:27:29. > :27:35.rain in Scotland and Northern Ireland will splash its way through
:27:36. > :27:38.and end up in the low lands. But it will be fresh and sparkling sunshine
:27:39. > :27:46.to the north of that. To the south, very little wind. It is a story of
:27:47. > :27:51.cloudy skies, maybe a little sunshine. The rain will be from
:27:52. > :27:56.Newcastle all the way to the Lake District. For Saturday, that same
:27:57. > :28:00.weather front in the North will sink a little further south, and also
:28:01. > :28:08.East. So for example across Lincolnshire or Yorkshire. The same
:28:09. > :28:11.goes for Sunday, but unfortunately, one of these weather fronts swerves
:28:12. > :28:17.back into Scotland through the course of Sunday. If you are running
:28:18. > :28:25.the great North run, good luck to you. Newcastle, around 15 Celsius at
