:01:20. > :01:45.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:46. > :01:48.Four serving members of the British army have been arrested on suspicion

:01:49. > :01:55.of being members of National Action, a banned neo-Nazi group.

:01:56. > :01:58.They are being held under terror laws,

:01:59. > :02:02.although police say the public was never in danger.

:02:03. > :02:06.Three were arrested in Britain and a fourth in Cyprus. A fifth person, a

:02:07. > :02:11.civilian is also being detained. Our Home Affairs Correspondent Tom

:02:12. > :02:22.Symonds is at West Midlands Police These arrests are highly significant

:02:23. > :02:25.because they are the first in connection of suspected membership

:02:26. > :02:30.of an extreme right-wing organisation. These men are in their

:02:31. > :02:32.early 20s and 30s and they are being questioned at an unidentified West

:02:33. > :02:41.Midlands Police station. The BBC has been told three of the

:02:42. > :02:46.men are members of the Royal Anglian Regiment which recruits in Norfolk,

:02:47. > :02:50.Suffolk, Essex and Cambridge. Four arrest in the UK, one in Cyprus. An

:02:51. > :03:06.army spokesman said we can confirm...

:03:07. > :03:13.That group is National Action, which described itself last year in the

:03:14. > :03:18.language of Hitler's fascism, as a national socialist youth movement.

:03:19. > :03:23.Its members marched the streets. The focus was as much on spreading

:03:24. > :03:28.neo-Nazi ideas online but experts say the far right is not well

:03:29. > :03:34.supported. I think extreme right groups in Britain are very good

:03:35. > :03:38.these days about creating a sense of greater scale on social media than

:03:39. > :03:46.is actually the case. The National Action group are people that tend to

:03:47. > :03:52.do that the very best. When the Labour MP Jo Cox was murdered by a

:03:53. > :03:53.loner influenced by similar propaganda, the government acted,

:03:54. > :04:00.prescribing or banning National Action. Despite the name, National

:04:01. > :04:06.Action's court seeks doom by communities and stir up hatred.

:04:07. > :04:09.Prescribing this neo-Nazi group will prevent its mothership growing,

:04:10. > :04:14.prevent them spreading propaganda which allows a culture of hatred and

:04:15. > :04:18.division to thrive. Legally, the group should not now exist but

:04:19. > :04:21.police in Birmingham are questioning five suspected members under Counter

:04:22. > :04:26.Terrorism laws while searches properties are carried out.

:04:27. > :04:29.Three years ago toddler Ayeeshia Jayne Smith was murdered

:04:30. > :04:33.by her own mother at the family home in Burton on Trent.

:04:34. > :04:36.Today a review into her case has found that care workers

:04:37. > :04:39.let their concern for the mother overshadow the needs of the child.

:04:40. > :04:42.The report found that Ayeeshia's death could not have been predicted

:04:43. > :04:46.but criticised social workers for taking what the mother

:04:47. > :04:49.said at face value. Kathryn Smith is serving

:04:50. > :04:53.a 19-year jail sentence. Sima Kotecha reports.

:04:54. > :04:57.Ayeeshia-Jayne Smith, known as AJ to her family.

:04:58. > :05:00.A toddler with a thin frame and described

:05:01. > :05:03.as a happy and smiley child. At 21 months old, her

:05:04. > :05:07.life was brutally cut short by her mother.

:05:08. > :05:11.Kathryn Smith, a former drug addict with a history

:05:12. > :05:16.of aggression and self-harm, stamped her daughter to death.

:05:17. > :05:20.Today, the Serious Case Review said social workers and medical staff

:05:21. > :05:31.should have asked more questions. The report says...

:05:32. > :05:46.Derbyshire County Council has said sorry.

:05:47. > :05:49.How can you assure people at home that this won't happen again?

:05:50. > :05:55.Can you actually provide that assurance?

:05:56. > :05:58.We work with hundreds of children every single day and we work hard

:05:59. > :06:01.to keep them safe and the majority of times, we are successful

:06:02. > :06:05.at doing so, but one death is one death too many.

:06:06. > :06:08.And a death in such tragic circumstances, of course

:06:09. > :06:12.we are all impacted by it and I am determined to make our services

:06:13. > :06:15.as strong as they can be to minimise the risk of this happening again.

:06:16. > :06:18.AJ was at home in the ground-floor flat behind me

:06:19. > :06:24.Medical experts believe her heart was torn by one forceful stamp.

:06:25. > :06:27.Pathologists also found 16 other injuries on her body including

:06:28. > :06:33.an historical bleed to the brain and a damaged spine.

:06:34. > :06:36.She was taken to hospital on more than one occasion

:06:37. > :06:41.in the year she died, including four cuts on her lip

:06:42. > :06:44.in the year she died, including for cuts on her lip

:06:45. > :06:47.and chin and after collapsing. Again, warning signs were missed.

:06:48. > :06:50.The Trust agree with the report's findings.

:06:51. > :06:54.We had two instances where we definitely didn't show

:06:55. > :06:57.enough professional curiosity around Ayeeshia-Jayne's attendance.

:06:58. > :07:02.The febrile convulsion wasn't as it turned out a febrile convulsion.

:07:03. > :07:06.We didn't go into Ayeeshia-Jayne's social situation, her family

:07:07. > :07:10.situation as much as we should have, we didn't ask enough questions.

:07:11. > :07:13.Concerns raised by AJ's biological father, Ricky Booth,

:07:14. > :07:18.The aim of this review is to learn lessons.

:07:19. > :07:21.But for AJ's family, today's report will bring little

:07:22. > :07:28.comfort after the ordeal they have been through.

:07:29. > :07:32.Russian President Vladimir Putin says further sanctions

:07:33. > :07:35.against North Korea are useless - and that ramping up military

:07:36. > :07:37.preparations could lead to global catastrophe.

:07:38. > :07:41.It comes after the US said it would table a new UN resolution

:07:42. > :07:44.on tougher sanctions in the wake of the latest test of

:07:45. > :07:50.a hydrogen bomb by the North. From Seoul, Yogita Limaye reports.

:07:51. > :07:53.Off the eastern coast of South Korea, today

:07:54. > :07:57.it was the Navy's turn to show its strength.

:07:58. > :08:01.The Commander of this fleet said they were training

:08:02. > :08:04.to bury the enemy at sea. South Korea has held military drills

:08:05. > :08:08.for two days now in response to the North's nuclear test.

:08:09. > :08:12.Pyongyang claims it successfully made a hydrogen bomb that can be

:08:13. > :08:16.fitted on to missiles capable of reaching America.

:08:17. > :08:19.At a UN conference in Geneva, North Korea's

:08:20. > :08:26.The recent self defence images by my country DPRK,

:08:27. > :08:31.are a gift package addressed to the US.

:08:32. > :08:36.The US will receive more gift packages from my country as long

:08:37. > :08:41.as it relies on reckless provocations and futile attempts

:08:42. > :08:52.Those attempts include further squeezing of North Korea's economy.

:08:53. > :08:57.But some don't think that's a good idea.

:08:58. > :09:01.TRANSLATION: The use of sanctions of any kind in this case is already

:09:02. > :09:10.As I told my colleagues yesterday, they will eat grass

:09:11. > :09:14.but they will not give up this programme if they do not feel safe.

:09:15. > :09:17.South Korea doesn't feel safe either and so it's setting up this American

:09:18. > :09:20.anti-missile defence system, designed to shoot

:09:21. > :09:26.And now, President Trump has said he is allowing Japan and South Korea

:09:27. > :09:29.to buy more sophisticated military equipment from the US.

:09:30. > :09:32.He's also agreed to remove limits on these South Korean missiles,

:09:33. > :09:42.lifting restrictions on the weight of the they can carry.

:09:43. > :09:45.lifting restrictions on the weight of the warheads they can carry.

:09:46. > :09:48.It's this country, South Korea, which has the most to lose

:09:49. > :09:54.Some people here even still have family living up in the North.

:09:55. > :09:57.But they have heard these threats for so long now that they've almost

:09:58. > :10:02.And yet, things are a bit different now.

:10:03. > :10:04.TRANSLATION: The experiment North Korea did this time was much

:10:05. > :10:07.larger in scale and so it makes me nervous.

:10:08. > :10:09.This woman says she is worried but she doesn't believe war

:10:10. > :10:14.Barely 50 kilometres from the border with North Korea,

:10:15. > :10:17.people here live each day with the knowledge that

:10:18. > :10:22.But with a strong belief that the peace that has held

:10:23. > :10:28.for more than 60 years is not about to be broken.

:10:29. > :10:31.Today was the first chance after the summer recess for MPs

:10:32. > :10:39.The Brexit Secretary, David Davis, has said there are, what he called,

:10:40. > :10:41."significant differences" with European Commission over

:10:42. > :10:44.the so-called divorce bill Britain will have to pay when it leaves

:10:45. > :10:52.Here's our deputy political editor, Jon Pienaar.

:10:53. > :10:59.What did you do this summer? David Davis tried to get exit talks into

:11:00. > :11:02.high but it's been tough and colleagues like Foreign Secretary

:11:03. > :11:09.Boris Johnson are demanding hardball with Brussels. Petty officials, so

:11:10. > :11:14.much to do, so little time. Jeremy Corbyn's team look up for it, Naib's

:11:15. > :11:18.EU policy is not all clear, his deputy talks about may be staying

:11:19. > :11:23.inside the EU system. His Brexit spokesman doesn't go that far but

:11:24. > :11:27.Labour have pledged to challenge ministers in Parliament's role,

:11:28. > :11:33.judging Brexit, the devolved assemblies' role as well as workers'

:11:34. > :11:37.rights. Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union. Time to

:11:38. > :11:42.answer questions and face the sceptics. Negotiations have been

:11:43. > :11:46.tough at times but we have made progress on the important issues.

:11:47. > :11:50.Britain was nowhere near agreeing the Brexit divorce bill or as he put

:11:51. > :11:54.it... There are significant differences to be bridged in this

:11:55. > :12:02.sector. So not easy but not our fault. The UK's approach is more

:12:03. > :12:07.pragmatic and flexible than that of the EU as it avoids unnecessary

:12:08. > :12:11.interruption to British business and consumers. Labour of course wasn't

:12:12. > :12:16.buying it. No deal, which I had hoped had died a death since the

:12:17. > :12:21.election could raise from the ashes. His message: get real. Too many

:12:22. > :12:26.promises have been made about Brexit which can't be kept. Today, Labour

:12:27. > :12:31.has decided to vote against the bill, turning all EU legislation

:12:32. > :12:35.into British law. Ready to be kept in all weeded out later. If and when

:12:36. > :12:39.they lose that road, it will just be the start of something like

:12:40. > :12:43.parliamentary siege warfare while Labour look to win over the handful

:12:44. > :12:49.of Tory rebels they need to pull ministers up short. Impatient with

:12:50. > :12:54.Brexit? It's just the start. The two big parties on tune with respecting

:12:55. > :13:00.referendum and now nothing else. How are you feeling about Brexit? There

:13:01. > :13:04.is progress on Brexit? They will argue and say, it's impossible and

:13:05. > :13:08.in the end, they will agree they have got to agree and it will be

:13:09. > :13:15.done. This demo wanted Brexit stopped and many don't. While

:13:16. > :13:19.negotiators plate a game of who blinks first, a vision of economic

:13:20. > :13:23.uncertainty and political storms ahead now seems plain to see.

:13:24. > :13:26.Scotland's First Minister has set out her party's programme

:13:27. > :13:31.Nicola Sturgeon placed education and health reform

:13:32. > :13:34.at the top of the agenda, and says she'll lift the 1% cap

:13:35. > :13:39.Ms Sturgeon called the plans "fresh, bold and ambitious" -

:13:40. > :13:42.but was accused by Conservative leader Ruth Davidson

:13:43. > :13:44.of "over-promising and under-delivering".

:13:45. > :13:53.Our Scotland Editor Sarah Smith is at Holyrood for us this evening.

:13:54. > :13:59.Politics here have been so dominated this year so far by arguments over a

:14:00. > :14:04.second Scottish referendum, Nicola Sturgeon is now trying to turn the

:14:05. > :14:08.page. She knows she needs to show she's energetically attacking

:14:09. > :14:10.politics in Scotland, schools and hospitals, not just worrying about

:14:11. > :14:12.independent says she has come up with a long list of measures for

:14:13. > :14:18.this parliamentary year. Nicola Sturgeon has got her hands

:14:19. > :14:24.full and she wants all of us to know it. She promised to refresh her

:14:25. > :14:27.policies after a disappointing general election result and now she

:14:28. > :14:29.wants to seize back the political initiative with what she calls a

:14:30. > :14:36.bold and ambitious programme for government. At it heart is this

:14:37. > :14:41.ambition to make our country the best place in the world to grow up

:14:42. > :14:46.and be educated. To live, work, visit and do business and the best

:14:47. > :14:52.place to be cared for in times of sickness, need or vulnerability and

:14:53. > :14:55.the best place to grow old. The First Minister announced significant

:14:56. > :14:57.government investment in high-tech manufacturing and financial

:14:58. > :15:02.technology and she was getting her own lesson today in digital skills.

:15:03. > :15:06.But its education that will be the biggest test for the SNP. Faced with

:15:07. > :15:08.falling standards in Scottish schools, they plan to give

:15:09. > :15:13.headteachers more powers and responsibilities. Teachers along

:15:14. > :15:17.with nurses and police officers will be among thousands of workers

:15:18. > :15:21.getting a higher pay rise next year as Scotland is scrapping 1% public

:15:22. > :15:25.sector pay cap. No details on how that might be paid for yet but a

:15:26. > :15:31.strong hint, higher income taxes may follow. The opposition say the SNP

:15:32. > :15:37.had to earn back the trust of the Scottish electorate. They must be

:15:38. > :15:40.frank about the huge challenges Scotland faces. Not seek as its

:15:41. > :15:44.first response to bury bad news or pretend it doesn't exist. Given what

:15:45. > :15:50.we know of this government, we will wait to see whether these words are

:15:51. > :15:54.backed up by action. The government should know this, after this last

:15:55. > :15:58.year, it is on probation with the people of Scotland and it is time to

:15:59. > :16:03.change tack and time to deliver. The Scottish Parliament will be busy and

:16:04. > :16:07.the 16 new bills announced today, including the creation of a national

:16:08. > :16:12.investment bank. And, free personal care for under 65 is suffering from

:16:13. > :16:16.dementia and eight deposit return scheme for plastic bottles and

:16:17. > :16:21.pardons for men convicted of same sex offences which are now legal.

:16:22. > :16:26.The Scottish Government also wants to go further, faster with electric

:16:27. > :16:30.cars. Promising a huge expansion of car charging facilities and plans to

:16:31. > :16:35.phase out new petrol vehicles by 2032, eight years ahead of the UK

:16:36. > :16:38.target. But remember, as a minority government, the SNP need the support

:16:39. > :16:45.of other parties if they are to drive headpiece plans the next year.

:16:46. > :16:51.Four serving members of the British Army have been

:16:52. > :16:54.arrested on suspicion of links to a neo-Nazi group.

:16:55. > :16:58.Hurricane Irma, now classified as extremely dangerous,

:16:59. > :17:05.Our weather presenter tells us how bad it could be.

:17:06. > :17:08.Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News: Chris Froome wins the individual

:17:09. > :17:11.time trial at the Vuelta a Espana and nearly doubles his lead.

:17:12. > :17:28.He's aiming to wrap up a Tour de France-Vuelta double.

:17:29. > :17:36.The UN is warning of a risk of ethnic cleansing in Myanmar after a

:17:37. > :17:42.dramatic increase in the nub of Rohingya Muslims cleaned into

:17:43. > :17:47.Bangladesh. They are a minority group in the Buddhist state.

:17:48. > :17:50.Fighting in the state of Rakhine has left at least 400 people dead.

:17:51. > :17:53.The UN says 35,000 people have crossed the border into Bangladesh

:17:54. > :17:57.That brings the total seeking refuge to more than 123,000

:17:58. > :18:02.Our correspondent, Sanjoy Majumder, has sent this

:18:03. > :18:14.Desperation is what is driving the Rohingya refugees. And Bangladesh,

:18:15. > :18:22.which has taken them in, is being overwhelmed by the numbers that are

:18:23. > :18:26.surging in. A truck has backed up to take all these refugees to the

:18:27. > :18:32.nearest relief camp. You can just see the chaos as they are all

:18:33. > :18:35.desperate to get on board. It is a chance for them to get somewhere

:18:36. > :18:40.where they will be safe and where they can rest. They are getting a

:18:41. > :18:45.sense now that things are slowly spinning out of control. Soldiers

:18:46. > :18:49.try to bring in a sense of order. But the refugees are weak,

:18:50. > :18:56.dehydrated and disorientated after days on the road. The Rohingyas

:18:57. > :19:03.group are described as the worst persecuted minority, the Buddhist

:19:04. > :19:07.majority Myanmar has denied them citizenship despite living there for

:19:08. > :19:11.centuries. Now they have been driven out. Their villages burned, hundreds

:19:12. > :19:18.killed, in a wave of religious violence. People are either being

:19:19. > :19:22.shot or burnt alive in their homes. We had to flee for our lives. They

:19:23. > :19:29.are making sure that no Muslims are left there. So they fled, carrying

:19:30. > :19:33.with them whatever they could salvage from their wrecked homes.

:19:34. > :19:37.Local volunteers meet them as they arrive. Handing out packets of

:19:38. > :19:44.cooked rice and meat. Their first proper meal in days. But with so

:19:45. > :19:48.many refugees coming game, space is running out. Existing camps are

:19:49. > :19:52.stretched beyond capacity. New ones are being built by the hour, open

:19:53. > :20:00.fields and hilltops have now become huge settlements. And the conditions

:20:01. > :20:05.are basic. This pit filled with rainwater serving as the water

:20:06. > :20:08.supply. These new arrivals are scattered in different locations,

:20:09. > :20:12.different villages, makeshift site and the two existing refugees plight

:20:13. > :20:16.is whether UN works. Those camps are reaching such a point and in one of

:20:17. > :20:21.them, the population has more than doubled. -- saturation point.

:20:22. > :20:26.Bangladesh is one of the world's most densely populated nations and

:20:27. > :20:27.now it has to somehow find space for all the Rohingyas who are pouring

:20:28. > :20:37.in. Princes William and Harry have

:20:38. > :20:40.visited a new centre that is offering advice

:20:41. > :20:42.and counselling to families affected They met members of the community

:20:43. > :20:45.and volunteers in North Kensington at the Support 4 Grenfell community

:20:46. > :20:47.hub. At least 80 people are thought

:20:48. > :20:50.to have died in the fire Meanwhile, a French magazine has

:20:51. > :20:54.been ordered to pay ?90,000 in damages to the Duke and Duchess

:20:55. > :20:57.of Cambridge after it published topless photos of Kate

:20:58. > :20:59.while on holiday in Provence The couple filed a criminal

:21:00. > :21:06.complaint against 'Closer' magazine On one side of the Channel

:21:07. > :21:16.today, there was barely a front page without her -

:21:17. > :21:18.the Duchess of Cambridge, Her private life a cause for media

:21:19. > :21:23.interest, national comment, But when does interest

:21:24. > :21:30.become intrusion? In the Paris suburbs today,

:21:31. > :21:32.judges ruled that French celebrity magazine Closer did

:21:33. > :21:34.invade her privacy by publishing topless photos

:21:35. > :21:48.of the Duchess on holiday. The pictures were taken from et

:22:07. > :22:13.The lawyer for Closer described the amount requested

:22:14. > :22:15.as 'extravagant' and said the private lives of

:22:16. > :22:21.the Royal Family were a matter of public interest.

:22:22. > :22:25.TRANSLATION: The photos showed a couple in love.

:22:26. > :22:28.And I'll remind you that in the case of the Duke's parents,

:22:29. > :22:31.we were led to believe that they adored each other

:22:32. > :22:33.by being given official photographs and it wasn't the reality.

:22:34. > :22:35.Here, at least, the photos aren't offensive and show

:23:40. > :23:41.Mimi Anderson began running in her late thirties -

:23:42. > :23:44.to overcome anorexia - and has since gone on to become one

:23:45. > :23:46.of the top endurance runners in the world,

:23:47. > :23:50.Now she's preparing for her biggest challenge yet, to become the fastest

:23:51. > :24:02.For the next seven and a half weeks, Mimi Anderson will be running

:24:03. > :24:05.at least 55 miles every single day as she makes her way

:24:06. > :24:11.It's taken years of planning and a lot of training.

:24:12. > :24:16.Oh, it's been really, really hard work, but I've sort

:24:17. > :24:20.of built up my distances so that I will do a week where I'm running

:24:21. > :24:25.And then the following week, I'm running a marathon every single day.

:24:26. > :24:28.And then I'm doing 30 miles every single day.

:24:43. > :24:49.Oh, here are all your medals, what a haul!

:24:50. > :24:53.I have to say I'm quite proud of them, actually, quite proud.

:24:54. > :24:56.But Mimi is used to tough challenges.

:24:57. > :24:59.She took up running in her mid-30s and, since then, has conquered some

:25:00. > :25:01.of the hardest endurance races in the world.

:25:02. > :25:04.This one here, the Marathon des Sables - which is 250

:25:05. > :25:06.kilometres over six days, in the Sahara desert -

:25:36. > :25:38.It's 350 miles, nonstop, over eight days, in temperatures

:25:39. > :25:44.And I actually won that race overall, male and female.

:25:45. > :25:48.And I came in I think it was 24 hours ahead of the only other

:25:49. > :25:51.But running across America is her toughest challenge yet.

:25:52. > :26:00.I love, erm, the thought of me physically and mentally -

:26:01. > :26:03.because that plays a big part - of actually being able to run

:26:04. > :26:13.To power her to a new world record, she's relying on a lot of coffee,

:26:14. > :26:15.ten pairs of running shoes and a support crew including her

:26:16. > :26:28.She's already dreaming of the finish line.

:26:29. > :26:32.When I get to the steps of the New York City Hall, ah!

:26:33. > :26:35.Those steps, I'm just going to love them.

:26:54. > :26:55.It's heading for the Caribbean, and then onto the southern

:26:56. > :27:05.United States, and could bring wind speeds of around 175 miles-per-hour.

:27:06. > :27:22.It is incredible, it is the strongest Atlantic facing hurricane

:27:23. > :27:28.on record, winds of 180 mph and stronger gusts that could reach 220

:27:29. > :27:32.mph. So just catastrophic damage they could do but they are half the

:27:42. > :27:46.we get a storm surge as the sea works into the land and that itself

:27:47. > :27:51.could be 11 foot. I am six foot three, imagine two of me, a wall of
