The incident has raised questions about the security

In all were packed into what the BBC understands to be this inflatable

:01:29.:01:44.

boat. -- 20 people. They were rescued in the English channel in

:01:45.:01:47.

the early hours of Sunday morning. The alarm was raised after somebody

:01:48.:01:51.

on-board phoned relatives in Calais. The search and rescue helicopter and

lifeboats were dispatched. One of them from here at the station at

was a small vessel with lots of people on board. He said the

conditions at sea were rough to moderate and the inflatable boat was

taking on water. -- Trevor Bunney. They were reasonably calm. They had

been on the sea for a while. They were a bit dishevelled. Suffering

British men have been charged with immigration offences. Yesterday,

:02:44.:02:47.

border force officials recovered another boat. Investigations are

:02:48.:02:52.

ongoing as to whether it is linked. There are now concerned there could

:02:53.:02:57.

be a wider problem. We mustn't be complacent. We are already hearing

:02:58.:03:01.

from the government and various Conservative MPs that this is the

:03:02.:03:05.

safest board in Europe. I would like to hear it is the most secure in

UK coastline. Catriona Renton BBC News.

Our correspondent is outside Maidstone Crown Court. What

:03:41.:03:45.

happened? The two men have been charged with

:03:46.:03:52.

conspiring. It lasted for only around five minutes. The men have

:03:53.:03:56.

been remanded in custody until next month. As regards the 18 Albanians,

:03:57.:04:02.

they are still being questioned by immigration officers in Dover. Among

:04:03.:04:05.

them, two children, and also a woman. This has raised the debate

:04:06.:04:10.

again about just how secure our borders are. The immigration

:04:11.:04:14.

services union said it believed whole stretches of the coastline

:04:15.:04:18.

were effectively unpoliced. So we have no idea how many migrants are

:04:19.:04:21.

getting in undetected. The government on the other hand says

:04:22.:04:24.

over the past six years it has invested a huge amount of money

:04:25.:04:28.

protecting our borders and from tomorrow there will be new stop and

still seems to be pressing in around Fallujah, not penetrating yet

into the actual centre As the battle moves closer

:08:13.:08:14.

to Fallujah itself, there is huge concern

:08:15.:08:19.

for the civilians trapped there. The best guess is

:08:20.:08:21.

around 50,000 of them. They have already been through nine

:08:22.:08:30.

months of siege, a very tight blockade, so they have been

:08:31.:08:39.

drinking filthy water and have had very little by way

:08:40.:08:42.

of food and medicine coming in. Hundreds of families have managed

:08:43.:08:47.

to escape to safety. They are being taken to camps

he would close this place, but not only is the sprawling

with the guards. The president wanted to either

release these men or move them to the mainland, but at the moment,

:11:00.:11:03.

Guantanamo remains a huge operation. Under appropriate security

:11:04.:11:10.

conditions in the United States, these detainees pose no more threat

:11:11.:11:12.

than they do here. Even the name Guantanamo conjures up

:11:13.:11:18.

images of orange jumpsuits. It's synonymous with issues around

torture and force-feeding, and what the White House says

:11:23.:11:29.

is that while it's still standing, it remains a powerful recruiting

of a million of us serve on a jury. For the vast majority,

there are no lasting effects - but research suggests

that the increasing use of photographic and video material

in courtroom evidence is leaving Jon Kay has been hearing from one

:12:23.:12:24.

woman about her experience. I don't think I'll ever

:12:25.:12:30.

be the same again. It's five years since Jess did jury

:12:31.:12:37.

service for a murder trial with some She told me she still has

:12:38.:12:40.

flashbacks and nightmares. I would replay all of

:12:41.:12:52.

the pictures that we'd seen, I just thought about the victim

:12:53.:12:54.

all the time and was completely paranoid,

:12:55.:13:03.

would check my doors, my windows. I was shocked that I

:13:04.:13:05.

was so affected by it. Jess felt she couldn't seek help

:13:06.:13:12.

because jurors are repeatedly warned by judges not

:13:13.:13:17.

to discuss details of trials. It's impossible to know how many

:13:18.:13:21.

people feel the same while doing jury service but experts say it's

:13:22.:13:24.

a growing issue. In a digital age, juries often

:13:25.:13:27.

have a huge amount of photographic and video evidence to consider

:13:28.:13:31.

in their bundles and files. The service that runs courtrooms

:13:32.:13:36.

in England and Wales says if somebody is struggling,

they should talk to a member Professor Knight's testimony has

in jury rooms. But one academic who's spoken

:13:59.:14:04.

to hundreds of people about their experiences says more

:14:05.:14:07.

help should be offered. If it's a civic duty that the state

:14:08.:14:12.

expects of people, then the very least the state can do is,

:14:13.:14:15.

if people become traumatised and distressed, some provision

:14:16.:14:18.

should be made for them. In Scotland, jurors can get

it will look at the help given to jurors like Jess and consider

:14:50.:14:55.

whether things can be improved. England captain Alastair Cook has

:14:56.:14:58.

become the youngest cricketer to make 10 thousand Test runs

:14:59.:15:04.

in his career. He scored 47 in his side's second

:15:05.:15:09.

innings as they beat Sri Lanka Our cricket correspondent

:15:10.:15:15.

Jonathan Agnew is there for us. England cruised to a straightforward

:15:16.:15:25.

victory by nine wickets, which means they win 2-0 with one still to play.

:15:26.:15:29.

Most notably, we have seen Alastair Cook become the first English man

:15:30.:15:34.

and the youngest batsman ever to score 10,000 test runs. Not the most

:15:35.:15:37.

elegant of players, maybe, but certainly one of the most

:15:38.:15:42.

consistent. In the age of the fast and the immediate, Alastair Cook is

:15:43.:15:45.

the finest of throwbacks. With more test runs than any other Englishmen,

:15:46.:15:51.

now more than 10,000 of them. It was a great moment for me. It is

:15:52.:15:56.

something that has certainly driven me personally. You do have the

:15:57.:15:59.

little things personally that dry you. To score 10,000 runs was a goal

:16:00.:16:05.

that I wanted to achieve. The statistics do not lie. It is a

:16:06.:16:09.

phenomenal achievement by a thin and cricketer who will always go down as

:16:10.:16:15.

one of England's greats. Cook has never fully outgrown his youthful

:16:16.:16:19.

looks, but he has developed a reputation as a fierce competitor.

:16:20.:16:27.

Last year, not dipped -- not only did he break the runs record

:16:28.:16:33.

Faringdon, he... I am proud to have played in the same team as him, and

:16:34.:16:39.

I hope that in 20 years I can sit there with a glass of red and tell

:16:40.:16:43.

my kids that I played with Alastair Cook. Genius is said to be 1%

:16:44.:16:50.

inspiration, 99% perspiration, but Cock is notorious for not sweating.

:16:51.:16:55.

He just keeps batting, rarely worried, readily hurried, but with

:16:56.:16:57.

great effect. -- Cook. Finally - as part of our series

:16:58.:17:05.

Rosie O'Reilly from County Fermanagh I am from county Fermanagh. I intend

to vote to stay in the EU. This is the most westerly village in the

United Kingdom, and it it is right on the border with Donegal in the

Republic of Ireland. You can see behind me, three quarters of the

:17:31.:17:33.

bridge to my left is Donnie Galle, and the quarter here is County

:17:34.:17:42.

Fermanagh. -- Donegal. This place was established in 1857. Tourism

:17:43.:17:47.

would be the biggest factor in the referendum. That is what keeps me in

:17:48.:17:52.

a job. This is the piece coming out of the painting shop, and this is it

:17:53.:17:56.

after it has received its final fire. There are no borders any more

:17:57.:18:00.

and people can travel freely. If you were to reintroduce border control,

:18:01.:18:04.

it would have a huge knock-on effect on our two arisen. -- on our

:18:05.:18:12.

tourism. My children don't even know what the border is, other than what

:18:13.:18:15.

we tell them off what they read about, and I think that is the way

:18:16.:18:19.

it should be. There shouldn't be controls anywhere. I travel

:18:20.:18:24.

across-the-board may be ten times a day for different reasons, but we

:18:25.:18:27.

don't really think of it as a boarder. It's just all... Can I get

:18:28.:18:37.

a pound of Philip stake, please? I think we should stay with what we

know rather than leave and not know what is coming after it.
