MPs demand a right to vote on the strategy | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Both Labour and Conservative MPs call for parliamentary scrutiny | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
We still have got no offer of a vote, and we need some | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
clarity about the policy, the Government's going to pursue, | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
because the Government is accountable to this House. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
The Government is resisting, saying only that MPs | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
will have the chance to debate the deal. | :00:29. | :00:30. | |

Let's ask a quick question about the delivery you took in June, 2011. | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
And trying to get answers to the growing controversy | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
And coming up in the sport on BBC News: | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
England or Bangladesh - who'd win the one-day series decider? | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
England have had a target of 278 to win. | :01:12. | :01:33. | |
Good evening, and welcome to the BBC News at 6. | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
MPs have called for the right to debate and vote | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
on the Government's negotiating strategy for the UK's departure | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
The demand was made repeatedly in the commons by both senior Labour | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
and Conservative MPs this afternoon, who want | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
parliamentary scrutiny of the Government's terms for Brexit. | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
So far Theresa May is resisting and says only that parliament | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
will have every opportunity to debate the issue. | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
Our deputy political editor John Pienaar was watching. | :01:59. | :02:07. | |
Should MPs have the final say, Prime Minister? Theresa May wasn't saying | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
that she knew the answer. She's in charge and no one will block | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
Britain's path out of the EU if she's got any say in it. That Prime | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
Minister and her team are the one speaking for Britain, government and | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
MPs don't always face the same way but MPs who say they except the EU | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
referendum have been told in the Commons they have no choice by the | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
most Eurosceptic Minister in the Cabinet. What I won't allow is any | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
party the opportunity to have a veto to leave Europe. Opposition MPs and | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
some Tories want a say in a vote in deciding Britain's negotiating | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
position as it leads the EU. They were told ministers won't show their | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
hand and they had their orders from the voters. Security terms and | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
controls of our borders terms, in democratic terms and in terms of | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
access to markets across the whole world, the European union and all | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
the opportunities we have outside, and the British people did vote for | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
that, 17.5 million of them. At question time to Prime Minister | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
again made clear trading with Europe may mean give and take but EU | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
migration would be controlled as part of an ambitious deal. That will | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
include the maximum possible access to the European market for firms to | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
trade with and operate within the European market, but I'm also clear | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
that the vote of the British people said we should control the movement | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
of people from the EU into the UK. The Labour leader mocked the absence | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
of detail. This is a government leg drop no plans for Brexit, that now | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
has no strategy for negotiating Brexit and offers no clarity or | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
transparency and no chance of scrutiny of the process for | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
developing a strategy. The government is to working out its | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
negotiating position and ministers are still divided but most MPs never | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
wanted Britain to leave and many feel Brexit could harm the economy. | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
There'll be many chances to vote before Brexit becomes reality but by | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
ruling out any formal opportunity for parliament to approve or vetoed | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
the deal, the government is taking just Britain's in Europe or by its | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
own authority. Those that oppose Brexit via leave voters will regret | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
their choice. Nobody voted on the 23rd of June to take an axe to the | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
economy or destroy jobs and livelihood. Many people in the | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
country don't think that there is a policy that puts national interest | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
us, they think there is a policy to put people's ideological interest. | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
You have to take the country on this new journey with you. This cannot be | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
the political equivalent of the country being put to sleep for two | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
years under anaesthetic and waking up in a new land. But the victorious | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
Leave side insist it's time to have faith. The British people got it | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
right and it's our job to respect it. Members op. Cit. Want to split | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
us up by saying everything has to go wrong. If you wish to negotiate and | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
successfully, show confidence, show optimism. MPs are still negotiating | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
their role in Britain's future, they will have more chance to have their | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
say and Brexit will take time but negotiation are for ministers and | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
they will stand by the best deal they can get to take Britain out. | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
So, the Government says that there won't be | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
a vote in Parliament on the Government's Brexit strategy | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
before the formal negotiations are started at the end of March. | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
That's when Britain invokes Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
There will be a vote on the Great Repeal Bill, | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
to be announced in the Queen's Speech. | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
When MPs will vote on whether to end the supremacy of EU law in the UK. | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
And it's expected that there will be a vote on the final | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
outcome of the negotiations with the EU in 2019. | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
That's the eventual take or leave it deal on Britain's exit. | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
Our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg is at Westminster. | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
Many MPs today calling for the right to vote on the Government's | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
strategy for Brexit, like should we try to stay in or out | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
Is the Government going to be able to resist the pressure | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
They are pretty intent on not being pushed around by Parliament. They | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
believe that they don't have to consult them before they push the | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
button on negotiations and for now they are absolutely sticking to it. | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
There is a limit to how much MPs can actually do. But what's become | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
absolutely clear in the last 48 hours is that Parliament is not | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
going to roll over like an obedient lap dog and have its belly tickled | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
as the government makes its merry way taking us out of the European | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
Union. What we've seen is the Labour Party, the Liberal Democrats, the | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
SNP and some conservatives with an element of collaboration, together | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
to really ask some quest tough questions of the government with | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
passion and conviction on to say to ministers, it's not good enough they | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
have yet been so unclear about what they really want to do. That is, I | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
think, a renewed sense of determination in Parliament as MPs | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
have returned from the summer break and from some of the party | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
conferences. It feels, right now, that this is a matter of huge | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
political urgency. What I would say, and it's worth remembering, is that | :07:16. | :07:26. | |
the really big power plays in all of this are not just months off but | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
maybe years. The deadline for getting all of Distin is the end of | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
March 2019 and the mood in the Commons, around the country and | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
right around the continent might well be very different by then. | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
Laura Kuenssberg at Westminster, thank you. | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
Russia has condemned as 'russophobic hysteria' a call | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
by the Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson for protests | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
He said yesterday he would like to see "a protest | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
against bombings of the Syrian city of Aleppo", which are being blamed | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
by western governments on Vladimir Putin's forces. | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
Our diplomatic correspondent James Robbins has more. | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
Russian television has been full of the story. | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
News of Boris Johnson's verbal assault in the Commons on | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
Russia's bombing, including the destruction | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
of a UN aid convoy, as well as his call for demonstrations outside | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
Moscow denounced his words as Russo-phobic hysteria and used | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
images from the archive to ridicule the Foreign Secretary. | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
Apart from a lone protester, there's no sign of demonstrators answering | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
Boris Johnson's call and massing here outside any of Russia's embassy | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
But behind the exchange of harsh words between London | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
and Moscow, there lies a brutal, political reality. | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
Western governments are all but impotent in | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
the face of Russian military action in Syria. | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
Humanitarian appeals to stop the bombing of Aleppo | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
The UN predicts a rebel-held areas in the eastern part of the city | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
will be totally destroyed by the end of the year. | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
But calls for a no-fly zone to prevent the bombing | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
Critics stress that risks direct confrontation between Russia | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
In Aleppo itself, these are some of the latest pictures, | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
an estimated 250,000 civilians face death and starvation. | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
He does not see how Nato forces can impose a no-fly zone. | :09:14. | :09:24. | |
You cannot pursue humanitarian goals in Syria and in the process risk | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
confrontation between the United States and Russia. | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
That is just a gamble which we cannot afford to take. | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
Which leaves President Putin calling the shots in Syria. | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
Today he blamed President Obama for dictating terms to Russia. | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
TRANSLATION: It is very difficult to engage | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
in dialogue with the current American administration. | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
The administration formulates its needs and insists that they be met. | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
Tonight there is news that Russia and the United States will talk | :09:54. | :10:03. | |
The first attempt to repair total breakdown, | :10:04. | :10:11. | |
but their opposing positions look very hard to reconcile. | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
The BBC has had exclusive access to a secret internment camp | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
for former so-called Islamic State militants and their | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
Some 300 defectors and captured fighters are being held at the camp | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
operated by a rebel group, which claims it's trying | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
to rehabilitate the former IS supporters and in some | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
Among those captured are French, Dutch and Polish nationals. | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
Our middle east correspondent Quentin Somerville reports. | :10:38. | :10:46. | |
Where do jihadists go when their beloved Islamic State | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
Some are being held here at a secret camp in northern Syria. | :10:49. | :10:57. | |
The men are from Europe, across the Middle East and Central Asia. | :10:58. | :11:06. | |
They're defectors and prisoners of war, so few want | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
In retreat, many have brought their families with them. | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
He joined the so-called Islamic State from Holland. | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
Now a captive, he renounces the group. | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
You give your life to them so they're going to start taking | :11:24. | :11:32. | |
I know I will get in trouble, but this is what I choose | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
I hope I can get out soon and live my life normally. | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
These are Egyptians, Tunisians, Holland... | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
The camp is run by the rebel group Jaysh al Tahrir. | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
Its commander showedme the details of | :11:51. | :11:51. | |
Some will be returned to Europe, if the authorities promise | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
to jail them, but others will face Syrian justice. | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
TRANSLATION: We refer them to courts and they roll according | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
If they had committed murder then they might be executed. | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
Some are jailed just because they still hold | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
The Islamic State's court is collapsing. | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
They're losing territory and an increasing number of people | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
Joining IS was relatively easy, but leaving is difficult. | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
"It was hard, really hard," says this defector who was | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
We've also learned that European intelligence agencies | :12:34. | :12:46. | |
are on a mission in northern Syria to find, capture | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
They're working alongside some rebel groups to create a kind | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
of underground railroad, which will bring IS group supporters | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
For now they're held in Syria, but these European jihadists | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
Quentin Sommerville, BBC News, Istanbul. | :13:04. | :13:12. | |
Three West Midlands Police officers have been charged with perjury | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
and perverting the course of justice following an investigation | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
into the death of a man in custody in 2011. | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
Kingsley Burrell, who was 29, died four days after being | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
detained by officers under the Mental Health Act. | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
A sandwich shop owner has been jailed for at least 27 years | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
for what the judge called the savage and frenzied murder of a teenage | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
John Leathem stabbed 15-year-old Paige Doherty after she stopped | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
at his shop in Clydebank, on the way to her Saturday job | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
Paige's mother said outside court that a monster had now | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
Arriving to open his sandwich shop in March this year, | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
just over an hour later John Leathem would become a brutal killer. | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
His victim, 15-year-old Paige Doherty. | :14:02. | :14:02. | |
When she called into the shop he launched a savage | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
and frenzied knife attack, inflicting more than 140 injuries. | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
There is a huge piece missing in our family that can | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
I am thankful for the 15 years we had with Paige, | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
from the kind and generous wee soul she was, to the mature young | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
She may not be with us any more, but she will live on through her | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
brothers and sister, and all the memories that we share. | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
Trying to cover his tracks, Leathem ran to buy bleach and drove | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
The judge ordered that he serve at least 27 years behind bars. | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
What you did was truly reprehensible. | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
It is impossible to comprehend how an apparently happily married man, | :14:46. | :14:55. | |
with a young child, who's running a successful business, | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
is capable of such an horrific level of violence. | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
But what turned the shopkeeper into a violent killer? | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
He claimed Paige had asked him for a job, | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
and when he said no, she said she'd tell | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
John Leathem was, said his lawyer, an unexceptional individual. | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
Psychiatric reports found no evidence of a personality disorder | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
In short, he said, this murder was so out of character it defied | :15:20. | :15:27. | |
A member of her family tearfully asked Leathem as he was led | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
It's a question he now has 27 years to consider. | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
MPs demand a right to vote on the strategy | :15:37. | :15:50. | |

For the first time in over 30 years, Britain is to host cycling's | :16:07. | :16:23. | |
prestigious Road World Championships. | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
They'll be held in 2019 in Yorkshire which - two years ago - | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
hosted the start of the Tour de France to widespread acclaim. | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
But it coincides with growing controversy over the use | :16:33. | :16:34. | |
of prescription drugs by Britain's most famous road cyclist | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
Our sports editor Dan Roan is in Leeds, good news story | :16:38. | :16:47. | |
for British cycling but in danger of being overshadowed by questions | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
That's right, Fiona. Now we know Britain's great decade of hosting | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
global sports events will be completed here in Yorkshire in 2019 | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
when it hosts Road cycling's World Championships. It's about more than | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
just prestige, also this bid including a ?50 million package of | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
investment into grassroots cycling facilities. Britain's cycling | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
revolution though is also about the performance of Team Sky, who have | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
become a global force in the professional sport. They have always | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
claimed that they can help cycling to move on and recover from its | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
doping past, but suddenly they find themselves, along with the governing | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
body British Cycling, amid unprecedented scrutiny. | :17:33. | :17:33. | |
It's a sight that's becoming more familiar, just some of Otley's | :17:34. | :17:45. | |
cycling club's 500 members out on their daily ride this morning. | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
The club has doubled in size in the last two | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
years, evidence that Britain's now a cycling nation. | :17:51. | :17:52. | |
And today more good news, as the country was chosen to | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
host the sport's flagship event, the World Championships, for the first | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
I'm absolutely delighted that we've been | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
I think it's a huge coup for Yorkshire, but also | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
And I think it will go on and provide a long-lasting legacy | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
Having successfully hosted the start of the | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
Tour de France in 2014, Yorkshire will now be the centre of the | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
cycling world again in three years' time. | :18:15. | :18:16. | |
But today's announcement comes amid a sense of crisis in the sport. | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
First came scrutiny over Sir Bradley Wiggins and his | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
therapeutic use exemptions for a banned steroid | :18:23. | :18:24. | |
shortly before races to treat his asthma. | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
Then came claims from former rider Jonathan Tiernan-Locke that a | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
powerful painkiller was freely offered when he competed for Britain | :18:30. | :18:31. | |
And finally it emerged a mystery medical package had been delivered | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
to Team Sky in June 2011 in France on the day Wiggins won a race. | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
Team Sky, Wiggins and governing body British Cycling all say that no | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
But a UK anti-doping investigation has now | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
been launched into allegations of wrongdoing. | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
The man at the centre of the controversy | :18:52. | :19:03. | |
cycling doctor, Richard Freeman, formerly at Team Sky. | :19:04. | :19:05. | |
At the weekend he was withdrawn from travelling to this | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
year's World Championships but I caught up with him in Manchester. | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
Can I just ask a quick question about the delivery you took in 2011, | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
Can I ask you about Jonathan Tiernan-Locke's claims that | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
questions but I'm on the phone. | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
I know, but can I just quickly ask you about that delivery. | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
The use of tramadol that Jonathan Tiernan-Locke says | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
Another medal haul in Rio this summer reinforced cycling | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
status as Britain's most successful Olympic sport. | :19:36. | :19:37. | |
But some senior figures now want change. | :19:38. | :19:38. | |
It's out of control how it's been handled. | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
Sir Dave Brailsford and British Cycling, | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
I don't think they've handled it as well as they could. | :19:44. | :19:45. | |
I mean, this year we've had one saga after another. | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
So you've got to look at the governance, | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
and hopefully it's all going to get itself sorted out. | :19:52. | :19:53. | |
But it's going to take some time and it's going to leave some | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
After a turbulent few weeks Britain's cyclists tonight | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
have something to celebrate but for those at the top | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
of the sport the questions are set to continue. | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
One of Britain's most senior police officers has said he believes | :20:06. | :20:13. | |
at least 100,000 men in the UK regularly look at obscene | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
images of children online - and that's a conservative estimate. | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
to be accesssing such images three years ago. | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
The Chief Constable of Norfolk says the police alone can | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
His comments come on the day a paedophile exposed by a BBC News | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
This report from our correspondent Angus Crawford. | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
We're going to go to his address and arrest him... | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
A specialist police team have identified a target, | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
He's continued to look at indecent images of children, with some really | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
concerning search terms on his Internet search history. | :20:49. | :20:49. | |
He's taken to a police station in Northamptonshire for questioning. | :20:50. | :20:57. | |
Other detectives seize his mobile phones and memory cards. | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
On them, hundreds of indecent images of children. | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
We've arrested you to protect children and vulnerable people... | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
Farey was arrested as a result of an investigation by BBC News. | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
We discovered paedophiles were using secret groups on Facebook | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
Farey had set up one called Schoolgirls. | :21:15. | :21:24. | |
It's clear he's taken the picture from his own jacket, | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
After his previous conviction, he wasn't even meant to have | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
Today, Farey was given a four year extended sentence. | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
The judge said he was a dangerous man, but the truth is there | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
are tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
of other men just like him across the UK, who view images | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
of child abuse online and the police say they're overwhelmed | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
It's significantly in excess of the 50,000 figure that | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
I believe was probably accurately assessed in 2013. | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
I think it now goes significantly beyond that. | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
So is it possible that are as many as 100,000 men in the UK, | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
regularly viewing obscene images of children? | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
Yes, I think that's a conservative estimate. | :22:10. | :22:11. | |
So how can society best protect children from this kind of threat? | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
Recent figures suggest one in five new obscene images found | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
online have been made by young people themselves. | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
Anybody can take your photographs, anybody can find out | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
That's why at this school in West Yorkshire, | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
safety lessons from the age of eight and nine - driving home the message | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
that what they do online, can have serious consequences | :22:41. | :22:42. | |

A symptom of a problem threatening to overwhelm a system | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
A film production company has been fined ?1.6 million for an accident | :22:57. | :23:06. | |
in which the Hollywood star Harrison Ford was crushed by a metal | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
door on the set of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
The incident happened two years ago during rehearsals at | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
Live now to Aylesbury Crown Court and our correspondent | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
This is a massive fine. Absolutely, the accident happened at Pinewood | :23:22. | :23:33. | |
Studios but responsibility for safety onset was down to the | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
production company making Star Wars: The Force Awakens whose ultimate | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
parent company is Disney. Due to a miscommunication onset Harrison Ford | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
was not expecting this steel edged hydraulically powered door to be | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
activated while he was rehearsing a scene on this set of the Lenny | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
falcon set and pinned him to the ground above his pubic bone causing | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
serious injuries. The court heard it was only an emergency stop operated | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
by the crew that prevented worse damage happening. In fact, the court | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
heard the force of the door was stronger than the strength of | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
Harrison Ford's body. Judge Francis Sheridan at Aylesbury Crown Court | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
described what had happened as staggering and lamentable. The | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
company has 28 days to pay the ?1.6 million fine. Thank you for joining | :24:24. | :24:25. | |
us. Those tall tales of giants | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
in Irish mythology may have Scientists have discovered that | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
what they call the giant gene is more commonly carried by people | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
in a particular area The gene can cause people to grow | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
much taller and larger than normal - but it can also cause | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
serious health problems. Our Ireland correspondent | :24:45. | :24:45. | |
Chris Buckler has more. These stone circles aren't the only | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
link to history here in Mid Ulster This is a land of giants, | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
and that's a title that comes not just from myths and legends - | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
in this area it's in the blood. That's me when I was seven, | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
eight years old. At his height Brendan Holland | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
stood almost 6'11" tall, and it's likely he would | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
have grown to well over seven feet tall if he hadn't been | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
treated for a genetic disorder that Do you object to | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
being called a giant? No, not at all, people | :25:16. | :25:24. | |
can call me what they It would have bothered me | :25:25. | :25:26. | |
when I was a teenager, because no one wants to stand out | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
from the crowd. The cause of that | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
gigantism which can affect health as well as | :25:34. | :25:34. | |
height is in the genes. to me and she never knew | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
that. And many people still to this day | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
are passing the gene on without DNA evidence has shown that Brendan | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
is a descendant of Charles Byrne, In the 1700s he became | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
famous as the Irish giant and his | :25:50. | :25:59. | |
seven-and-a-half-foot-tall skeleton | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
is still part of a medical museum. There are, of course, | :26:07. | :26:17. | |
many tales of giants in Irish folklore, not least Finn MacCool, | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
who was said to have built But it's away from the coast | :26:21. | :26:22. | |
in the centre of Northern Ireland that the giant gene | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
is still present within some of the For some that gene can lead | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
to headaches, eyesight or more serious problems and that's why | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
scientists have been working to identify people | :26:34. | :26:35. | |
with it in their DNA. It's OK being may be 6-foot | :26:36. | :26:37. | |
but you don't want to be It's a miserable life | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
for a giant, actually. And most giants just wish | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
that they were normal. There was probably at least some | :26:47. | :26:48. | |
truth in the centuries of But it's likely that | :26:49. | :26:50. | |
at their heart was a gene that caused considerable | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
pain and problems. That's why many want the idea | :26:54. | :27:01. | |
of generations of giants to My great grandparents come from near | :27:02. | :27:25. | |
there but I didn't get the gene. High pressure has dominated weather | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
so far this month and for some there has been barely a drop of rain. Look | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
at the weather charts, high pressure across Scandinavia but muscling into | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
the scene, this low pressure bringing something wetter by the end | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
of the week but also a little less chilly. You will notice the blue | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
colours, the colder air pushing to the north-west, southerly winds by | :27:49. | :27:51. | |
the weekend and some sunshine between the showers will feel that | :27:52. | :27:54. | |
bit more pleasant. Easterly winds still dominate, one or two showers | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
in the west this evening, most will fade, like recent nights with | :27:58. | :28:00. | |
occasional rain, down eastern parts of Scotland and eastern England, | :28:01. | :28:03. | |
temperatures will stay around this area but with a touch of mist there | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
could be some frost in some areas. Into Thursday in eastern areas they | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
will start with the risk of rain, the Western areas driest and | :28:12. | :28:14. | |
brightest, a few more showers tomorrow drifting into the Midlands, | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
North west England, North west Scotland and Northern Ireland in the | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
afternoon but East Anglia will dry out and the southernmost counties of | :28:23. | :28:26. | |
England and Wales will stay driest. 14 Celsius is the high, low for the | :28:27. | :28:30. | |
time of year, further north colder still, the wind will add to the | :28:31. | :28:35. | |
chill, more in northern areas. The stronger twins in northern Scotland, | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
touching gale force at times and in the north and east of Scotland | :28:40. | :28:43. | |
persistent rain to take us through Friday particularly Aberdeenshire. | :28:44. | :28:46. | |
Lots of dry weather around on Friday, glimpses of sunshine but a | :28:47. | :28:51. | |
few showers will develop later. On Saturday we will see heavy bursts of | :28:52. | :28:54. | |
rain working northwards. Throughout the weekend while between those | :28:55. | :29:00. | |
heavy bursts of rain it should feel warmer. | :29:01. | :29:03. |
