0:01:35 > 0:01:43Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Police are calling it a major victory against gun crime in
0:01:45 > 0:01:52Britain. Tonight dealer Paul Edmunds is facing a lengthy jail term. He
0:01:52 > 0:01:55has been found guilty of supplying guns and ammunition that had been
0:01:55 > 0:01:58linked to more than 100 crime scenes across the country, including three
0:01:58 > 0:02:08murders.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10But police warned that more than two
0:02:10 > 0:02:15hundred weapons he sold are not accounted for.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18In police interviews Paul Edmunds has shown no sympathy towards those
0:02:18 > 0:02:24who have been shot by using his guns. Around 1000 of his bullets
0:02:24 > 0:02:27have been found at crime scenes across the country, including him in
0:02:27 > 0:02:31the West Midlands, greater Manchester, and London. Tonight 's
0:02:31 > 0:02:35barrister has said that his client expects a significantly lengthy
0:02:35 > 0:02:39sentence. -- tonight, his barrister.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47An expert in guns, enabling him to make bullets from his house in
0:02:47 > 0:02:52Gloucestershire. Inside, police found over 100,000 rounds of
0:02:52 > 0:02:56ammunition and almost 200 guns. But it's well scattered around his
0:02:56 > 0:03:00bedroom and attic. Today, following a six-week trial, Paul Edmunds was
0:03:00 > 0:03:04found guilty of supplying guns and home-made ammunition to gangs across
0:03:04 > 0:03:09the country. The 66-year-old made bullet for firearms that were
0:03:09 > 0:03:12classified as antique and then sold them for a hefty profit. He supplied
0:03:12 > 0:03:17them to his compass, this 56-year-old, who admitted selling
0:03:17 > 0:03:24them on to gangs.These weapons and ammunition have appeared in over 100
0:03:24 > 0:03:29crime scenes in the UK between 2009 and 2015. This involved murders and
0:03:29 > 0:03:35other serious crimes. He abused his position. He abused his knowledge of
0:03:35 > 0:03:39ammunition and firearms. Undoubtedly this operation, which began in 2014,
0:03:39 > 0:03:44has saved many lives as we have been able to stop what was a major supply
0:03:44 > 0:03:47route for these firearms and ammunition onto the streets.The
0:03:47 > 0:03:52bullets were found at the scenes of fatal shootings, including a night
0:03:52 > 0:03:57in Birmingham last year. As ammunition was also used to shoot at
0:03:57 > 0:04:01a police helicopter in the 2011 riots. Ballistics experts carried
0:04:01 > 0:04:11out microscopic investigations. Certain tools are used. These tools
0:04:11 > 0:04:15impart markings on to the modified rounds. We started to notice that
0:04:15 > 0:04:18there is a pattern of tool marks. When we look at lots of different
0:04:18 > 0:04:24criminal incidents we to see the same patterns again and again. You
0:04:24 > 0:04:28can start linking them together forensically with a microscope.This
0:04:28 > 0:04:31building contains thousands of firearms that have been seized by
0:04:31 > 0:04:35police from across the country. This gun was imported by Paul Edmunds
0:04:35 > 0:04:38from America. Now he has been convicted it will also be stored
0:04:38 > 0:04:44here. At the National ballistics intelligence service they are firing
0:04:44 > 0:04:48one of the antique revolvers with the bullets made by Edmonds. Casings
0:04:48 > 0:04:53found at two of fatal shootings in Birmingham over the last couple of
0:04:53 > 0:04:56years were also handcrafted by the pensioner who will be sentenced next
0:04:56 > 0:05:00month. -- bullets made by Edmunds.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03At least 460 people are now known to have been killed by Sunday's
0:05:03 > 0:05:05earthquake on the border between Iran and Iraq.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Officials have called off the rescue operation,
0:05:07 > 0:05:13saying it's unlikely that more survivors will be found.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15There have been more than 200 aftershocks in the area
0:05:15 > 0:05:24since the earthquake, as James Robbins reports.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27In many authorities say they are not expecting to find any more
0:05:27 > 0:05:34survivors. -- Iranian authorities. Work now is to clear ruined homes,
0:05:34 > 0:05:39demolish, and then rebuild. Local people are in shock. Thousands are
0:05:39 > 0:05:47homeless. They are in desperate need of shelter and supplies. Iran's
0:05:47 > 0:05:51president has visited the worst hit areas. He promised whatever
0:05:51 > 0:05:55assistance was needed, and criminal action if any public housing is
0:05:55 > 0:06:02found to have been substandard. TRANSLATION:We will provide tents
0:06:02 > 0:06:05for those who need them and give loans and grants to all those whose
0:06:05 > 0:06:09houses were damaged and are unsafe. We'll give money to everybody who
0:06:09 > 0:06:14needs temporary accommodation. The earthquake, which struck the
0:06:14 > 0:06:17mountainous region bordering Iraq was one of the most powerful in the
0:06:17 > 0:06:21world this year, as well as the deadliest. At least 70,000 people
0:06:21 > 0:06:26need shelter. The UN says it is ready to assist if required. And
0:06:26 > 0:06:29with night-time temperatures close to freezing its not just the
0:06:29 > 0:06:32homeless who are sleeping outdoors, many families won't return to
0:06:32 > 0:06:38buildings they do not trust, fearing more after-shocks. Up to 200 have
0:06:38 > 0:06:41already been recorded since this magnitude 7.3 earthquake on Sunday
0:06:41 > 0:06:45night. This was the moment the earthquake
0:06:45 > 0:06:56struck. A birthday party ends in terror.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00But this Kurdish family escaped unharmed. And northern Iraq was hit
0:07:00 > 0:07:06less hard. Read Crescent groups are offering help to their Iranians
0:07:06 > 0:07:19neighbours. -- Red Crescent.If our help is needed, we will definitely
0:07:19 > 0:07:24supply help across the border if we are asked.Aid has been pouring in.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29A combination of aircraft and Iran's special ambulance coaches are
0:07:29 > 0:07:32transferring some of the injured for specialist treatment elsewhere in
0:07:32 > 0:07:38the country. But the painful process of grieving for entire communities
0:07:38 > 0:07:42is only just beginning. James Robbins, BBC News.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46MPs have begun what will be more than a week of debate on key
0:07:46 > 0:07:48legislation that will pave the way for Brexit.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50At the moment EU laws and regulations affect almost
0:07:50 > 0:07:52every part of our lives - whether it's agriculture or finance.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56The bill before the Commons now will bring all of that under British law.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59But as Jon Pienaar reports - there are already plenty of signs
0:07:59 > 0:08:01that the bill will not have an easy passage.
0:08:01 > 0:08:07This report contains flash photography.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Brexit, still a work in progress comments about Westminster taking
0:08:10 > 0:08:15back control. But the planning and scheming is now intense. And tonight
0:08:15 > 0:08:19it is clear that big questions of how, even when, Britain finally
0:08:19 > 0:08:24leaves are up for grabs. Is this a meaningless vote? Brexiteers like
0:08:24 > 0:08:29Liam Fox and Boris Johnson are now told that the Brexit deadline of
0:08:29 > 0:08:33March 2019 will be met by law, but the Brexit secretary would love to
0:08:33 > 0:08:38know if the way is clear to leave on schedule. And tonight there is still
0:08:38 > 0:08:42no knowing.European Union withdraw Bill...In the House of Commons they
0:08:42 > 0:08:46have stopped weeks of line by line debate on the law to leave. Tory and
0:08:46 > 0:08:51Labour MPs saying a heart Brexit deadline could cut negotiations
0:08:51 > 0:08:57short, even force Britain to leave without a deal. -- hard Brexit.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Everybody has become more brittle. More unwilling to listen. More
0:09:00 > 0:09:06unpersuaded that every suggestion made some form of treason.Does he
0:09:06 > 0:09:10understand how impossible it is for me to explain to my constituents
0:09:10 > 0:09:15that they can have certainty about nothing about Brexit as the
0:09:15 > 0:09:18government planned it, except, according to him, the date when it
0:09:18 > 0:09:22will happen?The Labour leadership does not want to appear to obstruct
0:09:22 > 0:09:27Brexit. We all know we are leaving, they say, so why the deadline?If
0:09:27 > 0:09:32negotiations go to the wire, both we and the EU 27 might recognise the
0:09:32 > 0:09:38need for an extra week, an extra day, an extra hour, even an extra
0:09:38 > 0:09:44minute.The battle lines are drawn. Brexiteers keen for victory.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49Millions of people who died in both world Wars died for a reason. It was
0:09:49 > 0:09:53to do with sustaining the freedom and democracy of this house.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58Brexiteer ministers pledging Brexit with a good deal if possible but no
0:09:58 > 0:10:04deal if a must.We want to make sure as a responsible government that our
0:10:04 > 0:10:08country is ready to leave the European Union without deal, if that
0:10:08 > 0:10:12proves necessary.The pro-European of the Tories let rip.I am the
0:10:12 > 0:10:21rebel. I espouse the policies the Conservative Party.Brexit sceptics
0:10:21 > 0:10:27loved it. Today Theresa May met another critic Brexit, Nicola
0:10:27 > 0:10:32Sturgeon. In the coming weeks she may yet see off the attacks on her
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Brexit deadline closer to home. She better, her authority is at stake.
0:10:36 > 0:10:44John Pienaar, BBC News.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Inflation remained unchanged last month at 3% -
0:10:45 > 0:10:48but it may not feel like it if you've just been
0:10:48 > 0:10:49to the supermarket.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Food prices continue to rise - up by more than 4%.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Other prices - such fuel - have come down which is why
0:10:55 > 0:10:56the overall inflation figure remains steady.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Our Economics Editor Kamal Ahmed is here with me.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Are we seeing the end of this period of high inflation?Certainly the
0:11:01 > 0:11:05foot has come off the inflation accelerator to an extent. Inflation
0:11:05 > 0:11:11was pushed up by one big thing, that was the falling value of the pound
0:11:11 > 0:11:15after the referendum. That produces an inflation spiked. But because it
0:11:15 > 0:11:17is a currency change, that Spike is pushing through the economy quite
0:11:17 > 0:11:23quickly. As you suggest, in the real world people are still feeling that
0:11:23 > 0:11:27income squeeze. Household incomes are only going up by 2.2%. Well
0:11:27 > 0:11:33below the rise in prices. And, as he said, on things like food inflation
0:11:33 > 0:11:38that's the highest figure since 2013. People are still feeling the
0:11:38 > 0:11:43impact of those price rises in their pocket. But it does seem we have
0:11:43 > 0:11:48reached the top of that curve on inflation rates. And that probably
0:11:48 > 0:11:51means the Bank of England, thinking about when it might next raise
0:11:51 > 0:11:56interest rates, which are used to control inflation, probably put that
0:11:56 > 0:11:59date off again, probably now not until the end of next year.Thank
0:11:59 > 0:12:01you very much.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Russia has rejected allegations that it uses the internet to meddle
0:12:03 > 0:12:05in elections around the world.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06Last night Theresa May accused President Putin's government
0:12:06 > 0:12:11of "planting fake stories" to "sow discord in the West".
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Similar accusations have been made in America.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17So is Britain affected - what about the last election
0:12:17 > 0:12:19or the EU referendum?
0:12:19 > 0:12:24Our Security Correspondent Gordon Corera reports.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Allegations of Russian interference in elections have
0:12:26 > 0:12:28been gathering pace.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Claims that the Kremlin sought to influence
0:12:30 > 0:12:32politics across the West.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36But did that campaign also reach British shores?
0:12:36 > 0:12:41Last night, the Prime Minister issued a stark warning to Russia.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44It is seeking to weaponise information.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Deploying its state-run media organisation to plant fake stories
0:12:46 > 0:12:48and photoshopped images in an attempt to sow
0:12:48 > 0:12:51discord in the West and undermine our institutions.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53So I have a very simple message for Russia -
0:12:53 > 0:13:03we know what you are doing and you will not succeed.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Today, the Prime Minister's spokesman was careful to stress
0:13:05 > 0:13:07that they hadn't seen any evidence of successful interference
0:13:07 > 0:13:09in Britain's democratic process and Russia, as always,
0:13:09 > 0:13:14denied the allegations, but last night's speech was a step
0:13:14 > 0:13:16change in language - a reflection that evidence may
0:13:16 > 0:13:26slowly be emerging of at least attempts to influence debate here.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Today, the US Congress was holding more hearings about Russia.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Its investigations have identified fake social media accounts linked
0:13:32 > 0:13:38to Russia pushing divisive messages.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40It's now emerging that some of those accounts also pushed out
0:13:40 > 0:13:46messages related to Britain.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51For instance, the South Lone Star Twitter account,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54claiming to be a proud Texan and American, but thought to be
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Russian, tweeted this image of a Muslim woman wrongly accused
0:13:57 > 0:13:59of ignoring the Westminster Bridge attack in March.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00The same account also posted about Brexit.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03In Parliament, the MP chairing a committee investigating the issue
0:14:03 > 0:14:08says the extent of the problem has to be established.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10There's already strong evidence to show that Russia-backed
0:14:10 > 0:14:12organisations were involved in putting out fake news messages
0:14:12 > 0:14:17through Facebook and Twitter during the US presidential election.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19There is a small amount of evidence emerging now about similar activity
0:14:19 > 0:14:21during the Brexit referendum.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24I think we have a right to know what was being done.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26The evidence so far of Russian political interference
0:14:26 > 0:14:28is fragmentary, but unlike America, investigations here are only
0:14:28 > 0:14:35just gathering pace.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40Gordon Corera, BBC News.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Our top story this evening.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43The 60 year-old antiques dealer, found guilty of supplying weapons
0:14:43 > 0:14:48linked to a hundred violent crimes.
0:14:48 > 0:14:54And still to come...
0:14:54 > 0:14:59From the running track to Buckingham Palace, Mo Farah becomes Sir Mo
0:14:59 > 0:15:07Farah. Britain's four-time Olympic champion, Mo Farah, received his
0:15:07 > 0:15:11knighthood from the Queen. He describes it as a dream come true.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Last night we reported on how throwing away food,
0:15:21 > 0:15:25whether by shops or families, costs up to £17 billion a year.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Campaigners say much of that waste could be avoided.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Tonight, we're looking at the simple steps that farmers,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34retailers and we, the consumers, can take to stop so much food ending
0:15:34 > 0:15:35up in the rubbish bin.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40Jeremy Cooke reports.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42If you want to stop food waste, down on the farm
0:15:42 > 0:15:44is a good place to start.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47These fields are part of a trial to find new ways to make sure these
0:15:47 > 0:15:52potatoes end up on our plates and not in the bin.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54I hate waste because it's costing me money and so I don't
0:15:54 > 0:15:57want to see waste.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00So that's why we're striving all the time to cut out
0:16:00 > 0:16:01waste in the field.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03So Ian, I've got some VA data here...
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Jeff is comparing notes, sharing hi-tech data with Ian
0:16:05 > 0:16:07from the supermarket.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12So we're looking good, low waste.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Even before the potatoes come out of the ground,
0:16:15 > 0:16:19detailed computer analysis means they know, for instance,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22the yield and so how much shelf space in store,
0:16:22 > 0:16:26how much marketing to shift any excess.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28We're working with technology to allow that information flow
0:16:28 > 0:16:29from what's happening in the field.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33So our growers can tell us what they think they're going to be
0:16:33 > 0:16:36producing and then we can match that to what we want to sell and,
0:16:36 > 0:16:40hopefully, take that waste out of the supply chain.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43There are now big efforts throughout the process to reduce food waste,
0:16:43 > 0:16:46whether it be on the farm, in processing, in storage
0:16:46 > 0:16:49or in the supermarkets.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52But perhaps the biggest difference can be made by us consumers
0:16:52 > 0:16:54because most of the food that gets thrown away is from
0:16:54 > 0:16:59our own kitchens.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Kate's a self-confessed foodie, she took part in a scheme to reduce
0:17:01 > 0:17:04waste and now puts 20% less food in the bin.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05But how?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Well, Kate measures ingredients so there's no waste,
0:17:08 > 0:17:13keeps the fridge at optimum temperature, so things stay fresh,
0:17:13 > 0:17:17uses DIY vacuum packs in the freezer for long-term storage.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Ta-da!
0:17:21 > 0:17:24And, keeps leftovers for week day lunch and super.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27You save food, you save money and you save time.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30So if you want to do any of those three things, it's worth it.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33And then also, we should feel a little bit responsible
0:17:33 > 0:17:36for the planet as well.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39But what happens if you still have food heading for the bin?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Well, how about a community fridge.
0:17:43 > 0:17:51It's a simple idea, food that's still good is donated instead

0:17:54 > 0:17:56This one is in Swadlincote, it's one of two already operating,
0:17:56 > 0:18:00but the plan is to have 50 up and running by the end of the year.
0:18:00 > 0:18:07Good news for people like Lizzie.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10If obviously it's going in the bin it's wasted, especially for those
0:18:10 > 0:18:13that haven't got enough money to go and get a full food shop.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16There are people who are desperately in need and yet there are other
0:18:16 > 0:18:18organisations that are just throwing food down into skips.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22There are people that have come in here that have talked
0:18:22 > 0:18:25about the days when they used to have to go into the skips
0:18:25 > 0:18:31and the amount of the food they get out of the skip.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Producing food takes hard graft and major investment,
0:18:33 > 0:18:35but it's massively undervalued and reducing waste will take
0:18:35 > 0:18:37a huge shift of attitude in our throwaway society.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42Jeremy Cooke, BBC News.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Police investigating the disappearance of a teenager
0:18:45 > 0:18:47in Dorset have released a 71-year-old woman.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50A 19-year-old man, believed to be the woman's grandson,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52is still in custody.
0:18:52 > 0:18:5419-year-old Gaia Pope was last seen a week ago.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Jon Kay is in Swanage for us.
0:18:58 > 0:19:04Jon.It was about this time last week that Gaia Pope was last seen.
0:19:04 > 0:19:10He was caught on CCTV on this area of swannage running past a camera
0:19:10 > 0:19:14wearing a red shirt and grey leggings. Police have been looking
0:19:14 > 0:19:18for ever since. It seems today that that investigation has stepped up a
0:19:18 > 0:19:23gear. They seem to be focussing on two addresses here behind me. We
0:19:23 > 0:19:26have seen forensic officers going in and out in white suits. In the last
0:19:26 > 0:19:31few hours we have seen sniffer dogs and a major incident vehicle turned
0:19:31 > 0:19:35up a short time ago. Dorset Police confirmed they arrested two people
0:19:35 > 0:19:39from this local area, a 71-year-old woman and a 19-year-old man. Both of
0:19:39 > 0:19:45whom it's thought are known to Gaia. The woman has since been released,
0:19:45 > 0:19:47pending further police investigations, but the young man
0:19:47 > 0:19:52remains with police and is being questioned by them. Dorset Police
0:19:52 > 0:19:56are stressing this disappearance is completely out of character. Gaia is
0:19:56 > 0:20:05a young woman who suffers from. Epilepsy. She is are hopeful she
0:20:05 > 0:20:12might be in this area. Her family issued a direct appeal saying it's a
0:20:12 > 0:20:16care scary and worrying time and appealing for her to come forward
0:20:16 > 0:20:29and promising to find their "darling Princess." Jon, thank you very much.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32In Northern Ireland, the trial of a man accused of the murder
0:20:32 > 0:20:34of two Catholic workmen during the height of the Troubles is
0:20:34 > 0:20:37to go ahead using evidence provided by a so-called loyalist supergrass.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39The two men were shot dead in May 1994.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Former Ulster Volunteer Force Commander Gary Haggarty,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43who has admitted 200 offences, including five murders,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45will be the star witness in the case against James Smyth.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Our Ireland correspondent, Chris Buckler, reports.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Gary Haggarty was a leader within the Ulster Volunteer Force,
0:20:51 > 0:20:55a notorious loyalist paramilitary group, responsible for hundreds
0:20:55 > 0:20:57of murders during years when conflict and killings
0:20:57 > 0:21:01were all too common in Northern Ireland.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Haggarty was responsible for some of them.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Earlier this year, he pleaded guilty to more than 200 crimes.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Among them, shootings and kidnappings, conspiracy
0:21:10 > 0:21:15to murder and directing terrorism.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18He was given five life sentences for the five murders he admitted,
0:21:18 > 0:21:22but those jail terms will be significantly reduced
0:21:22 > 0:21:25because Haggarty has agreed to give evidence against a former friend,
0:21:25 > 0:21:28James Smyth, from Forthriver Link, in Belfast.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30The reported suspect will be prosecuted for
0:21:30 > 0:21:32the following offences.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35The murder of Gary Convie.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39The murder of Eamon Fox.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Gary Convie and Eamon Fox were shot dead simply
0:21:41 > 0:21:45because of their religion.
0:21:45 > 0:21:51They were Catholic workmen, murdered in 1994 by the UVF
0:21:51 > 0:21:53as they ate their lunch in their car.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56But more than a dozen other people that Haggarty said were involved
0:21:56 > 0:21:59in murders are not to be tried because the prosecution service
0:21:59 > 0:22:03say his evidence is not sufficient to secure a conviction.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05That includes both paramilitaries and police officers,
0:22:05 > 0:22:09who he says protected him when he was a police informer.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12What we want to know is, are the police officers in the dock?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14To me, they're as guilty as the gunman and Gary
0:22:14 > 0:22:15Haggarty in this case.
0:22:15 > 0:22:21They're now exempt from prosecution, which is hard to take.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24The case will be what's known as a supergrass trial.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27A case where the word of another offender is key to the prosecution.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30There were a series of them here in Belfast in the 1980s,
0:22:30 > 0:22:37however the system collapsed because of concerns
0:22:37 > 0:22:39of the credibility of the evidence given by the so-called supergrasses.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43The law was changed a decade ago to put in place new safeguards
0:22:43 > 0:22:48for these kind of prosecutions.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Cases where people know more than they've ever told,
0:22:50 > 0:22:53and in Northern Ireland there's still much to learn about that long
0:22:53 > 0:22:54history of violence.
0:22:54 > 0:23:01Chris Buckler, BBC News, Belfast.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03The Olympic champion, Mo Farah, is now Sir Mo
0:23:03 > 0:23:05after receiving his knighthood from the Queen at Buckingham
0:23:05 > 0:23:15Palace this morning.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23Sir Mohammed Farah for services to athletics.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Farah came to the UK from Somalia as a young boy and went on to become
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Britain's most decorated athlete.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Sir Mo, who's now concentrating on marathon running,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31said today was an amazing moment.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34That was an incredible day for me, I really enjoyed coming here.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Quite nerve-wracking at the beginning, but it's a lovely
0:23:36 > 0:23:39day for me and my wife and for the Farah family,
0:23:39 > 0:23:41particularly because I never dreamed of having the title
0:23:41 > 0:23:42and to meet the Queen.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46It's just been unreal.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Now football.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50For the first time since 1958, four-time champions Italy will not
0:23:50 > 0:23:52be playing at the World Cup which takes place
0:23:52 > 0:23:54in Russia next year.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Fans were stunned when their team drew against Sweden last night
0:23:57 > 0:24:04and crashed out of the competition.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07The Italian media are calling it a national humiliation.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09But as our sports correspondent Joe Wilson reports, Italy aren't
0:24:09 > 0:24:12the only top-tier team to miss out on a trip to Russia.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Italy on Tuesday - the newspapers all said
0:24:14 > 0:24:15goodbye in their own way.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16What could cheer the country?
0:24:16 > 0:24:21SINGING
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Well, nice try, but even the national anthem includes
0:24:23 > 0:24:24the line, "Where is victory?"
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Where, indeed.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Like night without day, like seasons without summer,
0:24:30 > 0:24:32like a game without goals, Italy now face life
0:24:32 > 0:24:37without the World Cup.
0:24:37 > 0:24:400-0 against Sweden in Milan last night meant they lost the two-legged
0:24:40 > 0:24:42play-off and a nation loses its identity.
0:24:42 > 0:24:49Yep, really.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Today, Italy woke up in a depression mood and it is something
0:24:52 > 0:24:56psychological, something social.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59We are talking about and we know we can't understand, really - why?!
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Italy may be the most notable absentees from next year's
0:25:02 > 0:25:06World Cup, but they're not alone.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Three times World Cup finalists the Netherlands failed to qualify.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Their form's been awful recently.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15In South America, Chile, ranked ninth in the world
0:25:15 > 0:25:18with Alexis Sanchez as star player, missed out.
0:25:18 > 0:25:24Another world-famous player who won't be there, Gareth Bale.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Wales finished below Ireland in their qualifying Group.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29So there is one European place still up for grabs at the World Cup
0:25:29 > 0:25:31and tonight it will be settled here in Dublin.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35The Republic of Ireland actually are the play-off experts.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37This is their eighth play-off.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Denmark the opponents tonight.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43It's a great opportunity to qualify, but beyond this game,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45what will the World Cup be like?
0:25:45 > 0:25:48If we got the World Cup, I couldn't care less who's there,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50I have to be honest with you about that one.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52I really couldn't care less.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54But I think, from a neutral's perspective, I think you do
0:25:54 > 0:25:56want to see the big nations.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58You do want to see Holland there.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01You want to see the best players, the Gareth Bales, Alexis Sanchezes.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03You want to see them playing on the world scene
0:26:03 > 0:26:05because the World Cup, when I was a boy growing
0:26:05 > 0:26:07up, it was everything.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Qualification is a competition not a certainty and while Italy suffers,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12witness what it meant to Sweden to get through.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Well if the Irish players try something similar this evening I
0:26:16 > 0:26:20think I'm a safe distance from the stadium. 0-0 after the first leg,
0:26:20 > 0:26:24any win would do for the Republic of Ireland to go through this evening.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Many thanks, Joe.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Time for a look at the weather, here's Phil Avery
0:26:31 > 0:26:31Time for a look at the weather, here's Phil Avery
0:26:31 > 0:26:38Hello. Not the most sparkling of days. This picture tell as dreary
0:26:38 > 0:26:47tale. At its best, there was a fair am of cloud. You get the sense on
0:26:47 > 0:26:53the big picture that we've got an awful lot of cloud streaming in on a
0:26:53 > 0:26:55breeze across many parts of the British Isles. That is the way it
0:26:55 > 0:27:00will stay. We will pep up the showers to northern parts of
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Scotland, further south a lot of cloud around. So that's going to
0:27:02 > 0:27:06help to keep us in double figures for the most part across the British
0:27:06 > 0:27:12Isles. My concern is where the cloud breaks. We could see fog patches
0:27:12 > 0:27:16forming just in time for the morning commute. I will not be too clever
0:27:16 > 0:27:22about where I think that will be, it will just be a thought in your
0:27:22 > 0:27:27minds. It will be a grey start. I'm hopeful as the day gets going, some
0:27:27 > 0:27:30of these spots are bright. Others may join them as we get on through
0:27:30 > 0:27:34the morning. Watch out for the chance of fog first up. It will be
0:27:34 > 0:27:39patchy and in places quite dense. As we get on through the morning so I
0:27:39 > 0:27:42think northern and western parts will be in with the best chance of
0:27:42 > 0:27:47seeing brightness. One or two showers to the west of Wales. It
0:27:47 > 0:27:50will stay dark across the Midlands and over towards the Wash where, if
0:27:50 > 0:27:55you are stuck with a bit of fog it could be at eight or nine or ten
0:27:55 > 0:28:00degrees only. Elsewhere 12-13. The cold air to the north will become an
0:28:00 > 0:28:06increasing player having had a mild spell of weather. Thereby a cold
0:28:06 > 0:28:11front introducing cold air. You will have rain for a time. It will
0:28:11 > 0:28:17brighten. To the south the last of the mild air. Temperatures will drop
0:28:17 > 0:28:22into single figures, a fresher end to the weekend. Thank you very much.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23Thank you.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25to the weekend. Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Before we go, here's a look at a special
0:28:27 > 0:28:28report coming up at Ten.
0:28:28 > 0:28:34Clive Myrie reports on the crisis in Yemen.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36In Yemen
