:05:13. > :05:20.it's green for yes and red for no. Here they all are,

:06:24. > :06:26.North and South Lanarkshire. Of course, voting is
:06:27. > :06:29.happening all over Scotland. The counting will take place pretty
:06:30. > :06:32.soon, and it won't be long Well the bulk
:06:33. > :06:36.of the results are expected to come through in the early hours, between
:06:37. > :06:39.2am and 5am tomorrow morning. The final result will be announced
:06:40. > :06:42.at the National Count Centre here in Edinburgh, and our correspondent,
:06:43. > :06:56.James Robbins, is there. This hall, close to Edinburgh
:06:57. > :07:01.airport, has a dual role tonight. It is at the cables behind me were the
:07:02. > :07:05.votes from the Edinburgh local authority area will be counted. This
:07:06. > :07:09.is also the national counting centre, where results from across
:07:10. > :07:13.the country will be collated and then announced by Mary Pitcaithly,
:07:14. > :07:17.the Chief Counting Officer, and her staff. She is being very cautious
:07:18. > :07:21.about the timing of the final result, pointing out that weather
:07:22. > :07:24.could be a factor. Helicopters are needed to bring ballot boxes from
:07:25. > :07:31.some islands, so that could be a factor. So could be any recounts at
:07:32. > :07:35.local centres. But there will be no national recount. So, once she is
:07:36. > :07:39.satisfied she has all of the figures in, they are complete and accurate,
:07:40. > :07:43.and she says accuracy and not speed is essential, she will go to the
:07:44. > :07:44.microphone for one final time to announce Scotland's verdict in the
:07:45. > :07:46.referendum. There will of course be full
:07:47. > :07:48.coverage of this historic If you're watching in Scotland

:07:57. > :08:04.the results as they come in Now though it's over to Reeta
:08:05. > :08:08.in the studio for the rest A new video has appeared showing
:08:09. > :08:14.a British hostage, John Cantlie, who is believed to being held
:08:15. > :08:17.by extremists from Islamic State. Unlike previous videos, the film
:08:18. > :08:19.doesn't show an execution, and John Cantlie speaks from
:08:20. > :08:25.behind a desk, and says Islamic State has been "misrepresented
:08:26. > :08:29.by the Western media." IS has previously released film
:08:30. > :08:31.of the killing of three Western hostages,
:08:32. > :08:33.and has threatened the life Our Security Correspondent Gordon
:08:34. > :08:47.Corera reports. The latest release from the group
:08:48. > :08:53.calling itself Islamic State is another propaganda video. Although
:08:54. > :09:00.different from the last. Hello, my name is John Cantley. The British
:09:01. > :09:07.journalist says he is a prisoner and his life hangs in the balance as he
:09:08. > :09:10.reads from a script. After two disastrous and hugely unpopular wars
:09:11. > :09:17.in Afghanistan and Iraq, why is it that our governments appear so keen
:09:18. > :09:23.to get involved in yet another unwinnable conflict. The message is
:09:24. > :09:27.highly political, with criticism of US and UK intervention in Iraq and
:09:28. > :09:32.current policy. The video was different from the others we have
:09:33. > :09:35.seen recently. It is shot inside and not in the desert. Nobody is killed
:09:36. > :09:42.in it. Nobody from Islamic State is even seen. But the aim is similar,
:09:43. > :09:46.using a hostage to try to spread its message direct to public opinion and
:09:47. > :09:53.to challenge public policy. This was a freelance journalist John Cantlie
:09:54. > :09:58.in Syria before he was first detained in 2012. We have basically
:09:59. > :10:02.walked into a bad area. He tried to escape and was shot, but was
:10:03. > :10:07.eventually freed after a raid by the Free Syrian Army on the camp where
:10:08. > :10:11.he was held. Then he went back to Syria in November 2012 and was
:10:12. > :10:16.captured again. This time, with James Foley, the American journalist
:10:17. > :10:19.seen killed in a video a month ago. Until today, news organisations have
:10:20. > :10:23.agreed not to report his disappearance at the request of the
:10:24. > :10:28.Foreign Office. His family have now been informed about today's video,
:10:29. > :10:36.which the Government has condemned. Obviously, any new video released,
:10:37. > :10:39.the Foreign Office need to look at origins and check the veracity. But
:10:40. > :10:46.I don't think we need any reminder what an odious, barbaric movement
:10:47. > :10:47.ISIL is. At the end of the video, John Cantlie says he will appear in
:10:48. > :10:51.further broadcasts. While it carries out
:10:52. > :10:53.its propaganda war against the West, Islamic State is being fought
:10:54. > :10:57.inside Syria by government forces. It's one aspect of the bitter civil
:10:58. > :11:00.war there between the government and several rebel factions,
:11:01. > :11:03.including the Free Syrian Army. Our Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen
:11:04. > :11:07.and his team have been in Ain Beida with the government troops
:11:08. > :11:10.and they were given rare access to This is what will war has done to
:11:11. > :11:19.Jobar, a district on the edge It has been fought over since rebels
:11:20. > :11:30.seized it around two years ago. A new government offensive,
:11:31. > :11:33.more air strikes, is happening now. The way Syrians used to live is
:11:34. > :11:47.a memory. The Syrian army allowed us
:11:48. > :11:49.into a small corner of the front line, about
:11:50. > :11:52.a 20 minute drive south of Damascus, It was recaptured recently
:11:53. > :12:03.from rebels after hard fighting. This is a small outpost - around 300
:12:04. > :12:09.metres separate the front lines. But what happens here says a lot
:12:10. > :12:13.about the war and the way the fight These Syrian soldiers said they were
:12:14. > :12:20.volunteers and that the West was finally
:12:21. > :12:23.catching up with their belief that on the opposite side of the lines
:12:24. > :12:30.were religious extremists. The Syrian general commanding this
:12:31. > :12:35.sector, who seemed popular with his men,
:12:36. > :12:42.didn't want to identify himself. TRANSLATION: Islamic State is a
:12:43. > :12:47.threat on the whole world. If they control Syria, they will
:12:48. > :12:51.take us back to the Stone Age. But, as a military power
:12:52. > :12:53.they are not a threat. Syria can crush them without
:12:54. > :13:00.the help of the Americans. The afternoon's firefight started
:13:01. > :13:02.when bullets came in The Syrian army has been much more
:13:03. > :13:15.effective than its enemies expected. The Syrians say any attempt to fight
:13:16. > :13:18.jihad groups without their soldiers isn't going to work, because they
:13:19. > :13:21.are experienced, battle hardened But the US and the UK believe this
:13:22. > :13:32.army is the tool of a brutal
:13:33. > :13:37.dictator. The Syrian soldiers were shooting
:13:38. > :13:41.at a mix of Al-Qaeda sympathisers and supposed moderates, the FSA,
:13:42. > :13:45.which the Americans want to use Syrian soldiers say the West should
:13:46. > :13:55.help them fight jihadists. I come here because I want
:13:56. > :13:57.to fight these people. They are coming here to destroy
:13:58. > :14:01.our country. I want to save my brothers,
:14:02. > :14:04.my sister, my family and my people. The Syrian people,
:14:05. > :14:09.the great Syrian people. The war in Syria isn't ending.
:14:10. > :14:12.It's renewing itself. And its politics are getting
:14:13. > :14:23.more tangled and more bloody. Police investigating
:14:24. > :14:27.the disappearance of 14-year-old Alice Gross say they
:14:28. > :14:30.are now treating a Latvian man, Officers say the 41-year-old man,
:14:31. > :14:35.who vanished a week after Alice disappeared, has a conviction
:14:36. > :14:37.for killing his former wife. In 2009, he was also arrested
:14:38. > :14:55.for indecent assault against This is the home of 41-year-old
:14:56. > :14:59.Arnis Zalkalns. Since Monday, police have been
:15:00. > :15:04.searching his flat, including every inch of the garden. The Latvian
:15:05. > :15:08.builder has not been seen for two weeks. Alice Gross disappeared the
:15:09. > :15:15.week before, after leaving home for a walk. At 3.45 that afternoon, she
:15:16. > :15:20.crossed this bridge in Brentford, West London. Police now say the same
:15:21. > :15:26.camera it up Arnis Zalkalns, riding a red Mountain bike across the same
:15:27. > :15:29.bridge, in the same direction, 15 minutes behind Alice. This is the
:15:30. > :15:33.route Alice is known to have taken alongside the River Brent. We asked
:15:34. > :15:39.a cyclist to follow at a moderate speed, 15 minutes behind. This is
:15:40. > :15:43.where he has caught us up. It is not a scientific experiment, but this
:15:44. > :15:47.section of the canal does have the odd houseboat, and there is some
:15:48. > :15:51.noise from a building site and from the road, but it is pretty secluded.
:15:52. > :15:56.It is noticeable how difficult it would be to get to and from the
:15:57. > :16:01.canal, because of the high hedgerow. He certainly would have gone past
:16:02. > :16:04.her or into contact with her. What happened at that point is the focus
:16:05. > :16:09.of our investigation. Police say they have no evidence Alice has been
:16:10. > :16:14.harmed. Arnis Zalkalns is a suspect. But they have said in 1998,
:16:15. > :16:22.he was convicted of murder in his native Latvia. He killed his then
:16:23. > :16:27.wife. In 2009 he was alleged to have indecently assaulted a 14-year-old
:16:28. > :16:28.girl. He was not charged. Scotland Yard has offered a ?20,000 reward
:16:29. > :16:43.for help in finding Alice Gross. More than 4 million people in

:25:59. > :26:05.that golf is very elitist and it is not perhaps family friendly,

:26:25. > :26:44.with Nick Miller. Some slightly cooler air is coming
:26:45. > :26:48.our way at the weekend. Yet again, all of this cloud in east
:26:49. > :26:52.Scotland, down to north-east England, has kept the temperature
:26:53. > :26:58.down. The cloud will increase overnight. We have seen some
:26:59. > :27:02.thunderstorms in southern England. A few more of those will develop,
:27:03. > :27:06.heading north, as we go through the night. Not for everybody, but there
:27:07. > :27:13.will be some torrential downpours out there. Another humid night and
:27:14. > :27:17.start to the day tomorrow. Hill fog, poor visibility. And from the word
:27:18. > :27:21.go, this scattering of thunderstorms. There could be a lot
:27:22. > :27:28.of surface water if you are driving through those areas. From southern
:27:29. > :27:30.England up through south Wales, the warmth will be triggering the threat
:27:31. > :27:37.of thunderstorms again in the afternoon. Parts of north Wales, the
:27:38. > :27:41.Midlands and East Anglia could be affected. For northern England,
:27:42. > :27:46.Northern Ireland and Scotland, it will be mainly cloudy. It will be
:27:47. > :27:49.cooler than today. Still some showers around in northern Scotland,
:27:50. > :27:57.as a weather front comes in, which will begin to move south on Friday
:27:58. > :28:04.night, into Saturday. There is also this area of high pressure coming
:28:05. > :28:06.in. We will take it day by day. Brightening up through Scotland and
:28:07. > :28:12.Northern Ireland on Saturday, turning fresher. That fresher air
:28:13. > :28:18.spreads across the UK on Sunday, most places try. Not as warm, but it
:28:19. > :28:23.is not cold. But the air is fresher. Better air quality as well.
