:02:27. > :02:29.arriving. There are twice as many British warplanes air at RAF
:02:30. > :02:34.Akrotiri as there were yesterday, and clearly that means that there

:03:03. > :03:09.here. It signals that the rules have now changed. The border between Iraq
:03:10. > :03:16.and Syria, no longer a barrier. Last night, within an hour of MPs voting
:03:17. > :03:21.yes, a pair of Tornados prepared for the first British air strikes in
:03:22. > :03:28.Syria, loaded with ?500-macro bombs. It was a carefully choreographed
:03:29. > :03:33.mission. -- ?500-macro. This is the second pair of Tornados to leave
:03:34. > :03:37.tonight, after that Commons vote authorising military action in
:03:38. > :03:42.Syria. We have not been told their destination but we understand they
:03:43. > :03:48.will be flying over Syria. They already had a target. Their
:03:49. > :03:53.destination, the Omar oilfield, a source of funding for extremists. It
:03:54. > :03:58.wasn't that long before they returned. The MoD said it was a
:03:59. > :04:04.successful mission. This is the first pair of RAF Tornados. They
:04:05. > :04:10.have been flying for just over three hours. They went with three Paveway
:04:11. > :04:16.bombs and it looked like -- it looks like they fired at least some of
:04:17. > :04:21.them. As the initial operation, it is a breeze of infrastructure, so
:04:22. > :04:24.you can preplan it. And you want a fairly big bang after a
:04:25. > :04:29.parliamentary vote, so it is low risk from the perspective of the
:04:30. > :04:34.pilots and high gain for the politicians. The targets are part of
:04:35. > :04:37.a wider strategy. Cockpit footage released by the Pentagon shows US
:04:38. > :04:44.warplanes hitting similar installations as well as tankers. It
:04:45. > :04:47.is one of the main sources of income for the extremists. The Prime
:04:48. > :04:53.Minister admits it will take more to defeat IS. We will need to be
:04:54. > :04:57.patient and persistent. This will take time. It is complex and
:04:58. > :05:01.difficult, and our thoughts should be with the pilots and their
:05:02. > :05:07.families as they commence this important work. These pilots will
:05:08. > :05:10.not be home by Christmas. This bombing campaign could take place --
:05:11. > :05:14.could take years. It will need more than warplanes to defeat IS.

:05:32. > :05:39.Our Deputy Political Editor James Landale reports from Westminster.
:05:40. > :05:46.It was an astonishing moment. A Labour frontbencher applauded by all
:05:47. > :05:56.sides after making a powerful speech for war. It is now time for us to do
:05:57. > :06:00.our bit in Syria. But his great speech also revealed a divided
:06:01. > :06:06.party. Look who is not clapping. On the front bench, his party leader,
:06:07. > :06:11.utterly opposed to the military strike is now taking place in Syria.
:06:12. > :06:16.This morning, Mr Benn tried to play down divisions in the Shadow
:06:17. > :06:19.Cabinet. Now the House of Commons has made the decision, having heard
:06:20. > :06:24.all of the arguments, all of our thoughts are with the brave men and
:06:25. > :06:31.women of the RAF and we pray for their safe return. Others could not
:06:32. > :06:36.resist a jab. I thought Hilary's oratory was great. It reminded me of
:06:37. > :06:41.Tony Blair's speech taking us into the Iraq war. I worry that the great
:06:42. > :06:46.oratory leads to great mistakes. Labour is not just divided at the
:06:47. > :06:49.top. Look at the abuse some Labour MPs got online from some party
:06:50. > :06:54.supporters for backing military action. Others had pictures of dead
:06:55. > :06:59.children put through their front doors. When you get e-mails which
:07:00. > :07:04.are personal abuse, that goes further than just voicing opinion.

:07:18. > :07:25.critics who compared the war to fascism. Is it right to say that?
:07:26. > :07:30.Essentially, yes, because the views seem so in a box at the moment. The
:07:31. > :07:36.Tories are voting one way and then half of the Labour Party of voting
:07:37. > :07:40.the same way. Where is the balance? Where is the democracy? Some MPs who
:07:41. > :07:46.backed military action fear they might be ousted and some Labour
:07:47. > :07:50.members say, why not? If your local party doesn't agree with you, they
:07:51. > :07:55.should have the right to a member they do agree with. But Labour are
:07:56. > :08:00.considering a code of conduct and better security for MPs. I gather
:08:01. > :08:06.today that some members have received photos of severed heads.
:08:07. > :08:09.MPs have broad shoulders, but can I ask the leader to review the
:08:10. > :08:17.arrangements regarding the security of members' homes and offices? The
:08:18. > :08:20.Labour leadership says it deplores any such actions, but these
:08:21. > :08:23.divisions are also about who runs this party.

:08:50. > :08:57.At times yesterday, San Bernardino looked more like a war zone and a
:08:58. > :09:01.city in California. The streets awash with police, hunting for a
:09:02. > :09:07.young man who had gone on the rampage with his wife at a festive
:09:08. > :09:10.party. Syed Rizwan Farook reportedly left the gathering after a
:09:11. > :09:17.disagreement before returning with Tashfeen Malik, armed with automatic
:09:18. > :09:23.weapons. We have two suspects, dressed in black. They went into a
:09:24. > :09:34.room and locked the door. I turned off the lights. I didn't want... And
:09:35. > :09:39.so the hunt began. Hours after the shooting, parts of the city were
:09:40. > :09:44.still in lockdown. This operation is not over. This is the second scene
:09:45. > :09:50.we are apt, a couple of miles from where the shooting began. Just up
:09:51. > :09:57.that street, it was over for the two suspects. After a car chase, they
:09:58. > :10:00.died here in a gun battle, with some 20 police officers. There was
:10:01. > :10:06.shouting from the back. I don't know who first, but they were shooting
:10:07. > :10:10.each other. It must have been frightening. It was very scary. They
:10:11. > :10:17.were hidden at the back of the walls. As soon as we heard bullets
:10:18. > :10:21.flying, hitting the building... Syed Rizwan Farook was a 28-year-old
:10:22. > :10:26.American. -Month-old dating profile, he called himself a good Muslim,
:10:27. > :10:31.looking for a girl who likes snowboarding and would wear a hijab.
:10:32. > :10:38.Why would he do something like this? I am in shock. The FBI asking the
:10:39. > :10:42.same question, scouring the couple's home for explosives.
:10:43. > :10:47.Terrorism is a possibility, they say, but so, too, is a workplace
:10:48. > :10:51.dispute which turned violent. Either way, the country he leaves has, by
:10:52. > :10:56.one count, seen more than one mass shooting per day this year. We will
:10:57. > :11:03.have to search ourselves as a society to make sure that we can
:11:04. > :11:08.take basic steps that would make it harder, not impossible but harder,
:11:09. > :11:16.for individuals to get access to weapons. This tense and grieving
:11:17. > :11:20.city is still short of answers. Why did a mild-mannered man and his wife
:11:21. > :11:23.spark all of this, leaving their own baby as an orphan?
:11:24. > :11:26.Our North America Editor Jon Sopel is live for us now at the scene
:11:27. > :11:29.America has become horribly accustomed to shootings but this
:11:30. > :11:47.Exactly, Fiona. There is a weary familiarity to these episodes, but
:11:48. > :11:51.some things about this don't feel as though they fit into the model of
:11:52. > :11:56.previous incidents. The shooting that took place had clearly been
:11:57. > :11:59.carefully planned. It wasn't just that a trigger and suddenly clicked
:12:00. > :12:04.and this man went on the rampage with his wife. It was carefully
:12:05. > :12:08.thought out. We have just had a news conference where police have told us
:12:09. > :12:12.that they had three remote-controlled pipe bombs that
:12:13. > :12:16.luckily did not go off. They had thousands of rounds of ammunition
:12:17. > :12:20.with them. All of that suggests to some kind of terrorist motive, or
:12:21. > :12:25.some degree of planning involved. The fact that we have backed
:12:26. > :12:28.President Obama saying that the FBI will lead on this themselves also
:12:29. > :12:34.suggests that is what the authorities are thinking. There is a
:12:35. > :12:38.long way to go on this investigation, but a horrifying
:12:39. > :12:44.picture has become clear, and that one statistic. This is the 355th
:12:45. > :12:51.mass shooting this year so far. More than once a day.

:13:45. > :13:49.the prosecution lawyers hugged Reeva's mother. At least we have the
:13:50. > :13:57.truth now and the right judgment. It is not up to me to say. I don't want
:13:58. > :14:01.to hurt him in anyway. I have no revenge. They were South Africa 's
:14:02. > :14:07.glamorous couple, a Paralympic in and a model but, in the early hours
:14:08. > :14:12.of Valentine's Day 2014, she was killed in his bathroom when he fired
:14:13. > :14:16.four high-calibre bullets through a locked door. Pistorius denied
:14:17. > :14:20.intentionally shooting her, saying he believed he was shooting at an
:14:21. > :14:26.intruder in self defence. The prosecution argued that he shot her
:14:27. > :14:29.in a fit of rage after an argument. The Supreme Court did today that the
:14:30. > :14:33.athlete should have foreseen the consequences of his actions when he
:14:34. > :14:37.opened fire regardless of who was behind the door. By shooting through
:14:38. > :14:42.a locked door, the judge concluded that he must have known he was going
:14:43. > :14:48.to kill someone. The judge also found that there were fundamental
:14:49. > :14:52.errors in how the trial judge interpreted the law when she
:14:53. > :14:56.convicted Pistorius of a lesser charge of manslaughter, for which he
:14:57. > :15:02.has spent a year in prison. Oscar Pistorius will remain here, in his
:15:03. > :15:05.uncle's home on house arrest, now branded a murderer by the Supreme
:15:06. > :15:09.Court of Appeal. The disgraced athlete will wait until next year

:24:37. > :24:39.don't know whether I'm coming on going, I think I will lose the job
:24:40. > :24:47.and then surrounded by people who make you feel loved. How ready are

:25:04. > :25:08.in a pub when she first started auditioning for a part that could be

:26:02. > :26:05.approaches, how nervous do you feel? I'm so used to your voice talking
:26:06. > :26:09.about films, this is the most serious I have been. It is daunting,
:26:10. > :26:13.but I just want people to think I did a good job and then people love
:26:14. > :26:16.it and the people who loved it from before and new people. It is layers.
:26:17. > :26:21.But it is mainly exciting. Mount Etna, the volcano
:26:22. > :26:23.on the Italian island of Sicily, has erupted in spectacular fashion
:26:24. > :26:26.for the first time in two years. Etna sent a mile high plume

:26:46. > :26:53.cold in fact. We have got snow, this is one of our weather watches send
:26:54. > :26:57.this in half an hour ago in Midlothian. Snow is a concern in the
:26:58. > :27:03.south-east of Scotland. For most of us it is wet and windy and the
:27:04. > :27:09.potential for disruption to travel. This low pressure, we will have
:27:10. > :27:15.further snowfall in south eastern Scotland and northern England. Most
:27:16. > :27:18.of us having wet and windy weather. It disappears by the early hours.
:27:19. > :27:30.And it is going to be chilly and there will be icy patches in
:27:31. > :27:35.Scotland. For most a benign night. And later we have the winds
:27:36. > :27:40.gathering and more rain. After recent days of releaptless rain --
:27:41. > :27:43.relentless rain in the north, it is drier tomorrow. But not as we end
:27:44. > :27:47.the day in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Not just the rain, it is
:27:48. > :27:51.Friday evening we have got some really atrocious conditions with
:27:52. > :27:56.gusts of wind up to 70mph and this is why. Look at the tightly packed
:27:57. > :28:02.isobars. And that moves south through Friday night into Saturday.
:28:03. > :28:07.More rain along it. The concern not for just gales, but also more wet
:28:08. > :28:10.weather. Scotland and Northern Ireland and northern England and
:28:11. > :28:15.again North Wales in the firing line on Saturday. Very mild, so the snow
:28:16. > :28:20.melt continues in the north and the winds blowing throughout Saturday.
:28:21. > :28:23.Only easing slowly into Sunday when we get some respite in the north.
:28:24. > :28:28.But again that rain could hang around in the south for much of the
:28:29. > :28:32.day. And there are warnings out and they're on the web-site. Thaurchg
