As the US reveals it tried to free kidnapped journalist James Foley, | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
??EDPREV If we were starving and migss food, he would share his | :00:20. | :00:29. | |
ration. And surrogacy under the spotlight - | :00:30. | :00:44. | |
the fate of Baby Gammy sparks questions about how best to protect | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
parents and children. The United States has continued to | :00:48. | :01:07. | |
launch air strikes in northern Iraq despite threats from Islamic State | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
militants to kill a second American The attacks come as the Pentagon | :01:11. | :01:14. | |

Mr Foley's beheading continue to From Washington, | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
Tom Esslemont reports. Tributes have been flooding in from | :01:28. | :01:41. | |
friends and fellow journalists. He has been described as, kind, ed ,ed | :01:42. | :01:50. | |
ed a venrous and tough. To his parents, he is a martyr. | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
They risk their lives. Major network. The honest is they stay in | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
their environments so they get better stories. We really have | :02:07. | :02:15. | |
enough regard for the who do this work. It has emerged that American | :02:16. | :02:24. | |
commandos tried to rescue him and a number other American held by | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
Islamic State militants. They in Syria earlier this summer. When they | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
arrived, officials said they not the hostages. , it is race against time | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
So, what can Britain and the United States do with the limited | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
information they have? President Obama has said he doesn't want | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
America to get drawn into a long conflict confronting jihadists. That | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
was before James Foley was killed. A killing a former head of the CIA has | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
described as the first attack against America. The | :03:01. | :03:13. | |
The French journalist Nicolas Henin was taken hostage in Syria in June | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
He spent seven months in captivity of them with James Foley. | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
Mr Henin's not spoken at length about his experience | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
because he didn't want to jeopardize the safety of other captives. | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
But after the beheading, he decided to speak to our Paris | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
We spent seven months in a very extreme situation together. | :03:28. | :03:44. | |
Including for one week we were handcuffed, one to the other, day | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
and night. What were the conditions like you and James were held in? In | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
In circumstances where you are held captive you have some kind of | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
survival instincts. Meaning, for instance, you try and grab | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
everything you can find and James was the total opposite. Basically | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
everything he could share, he would share it. If we were cold and we | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
were missing blankets, he would share his blankets. If we were | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
starving and missing food, he would share his ration. Did he cope with | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
the conditions better than the rest of you? I would say, yes. Even | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
though, being an American he was probably more targeted by the | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
kidnappers, by the guards. In what way? It would be... He was some kind | :04:31. | :04:42. | |
of scapegoat. Why were you released and he wasn't? Some countries | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
negotiate. What they negotiate, I don't know. I don't know if it is | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
money, prisoner exchange. Some countries like America, but also | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
like the UK, do not negotiate. And, well, that puts the people at risk. | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
Everyone who sees that video is horrified. What were you feeling | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
when you saw that video? I am just horrified because it's not... It was | :05:09. | :05:20. | |
a friend and my best soul mate. How would you like to remember James | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
Foley? I will try. I am afraid it will take a few days, but I will try | :05:26. | :05:35. | |
to just remember a few, very few opportunities we had to laugh loud. | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
The together. It did happen a couple of times. | :05:42. | :05:56. | |
Our correspondent is with us now. Bring us up-to-date with what we | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
know now? There are three British jihadist whoss have been guarding | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
western hostages, held by the Islamic State. Probably in Syria. | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
And they've actually even been given nicknames. This was a story which | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
came out. They have the names of the Beatles - John, Paul and Ringo. The | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
accounts we are getting from a number of people are some of the | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
hostages are treated very badly indeed, that they are beaten. | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
Clearly these air strikes, these US air strikes in the last few days and | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
weeks have infuriated the jihadists of Islamic State. They have checked | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
their advance into Kurdistan and started to push them back. Whether | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
it is permanent, who knows. It is really upset them a lot. I think | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
that has been taken out on the hostages to some extent. There are | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
over 20 being held. Probably in different locations. It turns out | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
there was indeed an e-mail, a very angry e-mail sent to of Mr Foley's a | :06:58. | :07:05. | |
week before he was killed. Killed told them he was going to be killed | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
because of the air strikes. The focus is on the men with the British | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
accents. What are UK Security Services doing to try and ascertain | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
who these people are? There is a lot involved in this. In a way, I am not | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
saying it is a pointless exercise, but it will not necessarily lead to | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
any great resolution, because unless his killer or killers come back or | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
leave Syria and Iraq, they are not going to be brought to justice. | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
There's no Government in that part of the Middle East you can go to and | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
say, we want an extradition order to get them out. They are in a land | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
controlled by Islamic State. So, unless you send in a snatch squad, | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
from what we have seen, it has not worked for the Americans when they | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
sent in Special Forces. Their intelligence was wrong. They landed | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
in the wrong place, the hostages were not there. And it is a city - | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
so not easy at all. But the FBI, internationally, are the lead | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
agency. The victim was American, so they are doing their best, whatever | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
sources they've got, to try and find out who exactly was the person that | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
killed him. The video is confusing. It is a horrible video to look at. | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
It is not clear whether the voice on there is indeed of the person in the | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
black mask, because you cannot see his lips moving. It is possible, in | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
my view, that it's been put on afterwards. A really important point | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
about this is, obviously there is huge tension in the western media | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
because he was a hapless western journalist trying to do his job. | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
This is happening to Iraqis and Syrians and it has happened to other | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
Arab journalists all over the Middle East for a very long time, but | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
particularly in recent times. They are paying with their lives to do | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
the story. Arab journalists are bearing the braunt of it. We have a | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
lot of interest when it happens to one of our own. But my goodness me, | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
Arab journalists have paid a terrible price - whether it is | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
Palestinians in Gaza, Algerians in North African, or Iraqis and | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
Syrians. This is a tiny tip of the iceberg we are seeing here. In terms | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
of the way that Mr Hennin was speaking about it, that perhaps | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
James Foley was slightly Worsley treated because of the fact he's | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
American - of course the US and the UK make a big deal about not | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
negotiating. I do don't. Actuallivy to say that European countries have | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
been not honest about this. If you remember the G8 summit more than a | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
year ago, that was held in Britain, in Northern Ireland - all eight G8 | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
countries signed up to an agreement that they would not pay ransoms to | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
terrorists who kidnap hostages. Only the UK and the US, as far as I | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
know, have actually abided by that. Of course, it comes at a terrible | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
price. Their hostages get killed. Others get released. It is easy to | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
say sitting in the comfort of the studio, but when your nearest and | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
deariest get kidnapped, most people want to do whatever they can to get | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
them out. The amounts involved are huge. They have somebody running | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
this, in charge. It is a money-making business. One Iraqi of | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
source put the figures at $200 million earned by Islamic State in | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
ransoming nearly a dozen western hostages. Europeans paid up, the | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
Britains and the Americans don't. Thank you very much. | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
The armed wing of Hamas says three of its senior | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
commanders have been killed in a pre-dawn Israeli air strike in | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
Palestinian rescue services say the three were among six people | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
killed when a four-storey building was destroyed in the attack. | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
The United Nations Security Council is calling for an immediate | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza and for peace talks to resume. | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
The BBC's Kevin Connolly is in Jerusalem. | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
He told me more about the three Hamas commanders | :11:07. | :11:15. | |
They are not names that will resonate with western audiences. | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
They were key figures in the Hamas leadership. I think there is a sense | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
in which Israel has been trying throughout the weeks of fighting to | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
pull off some kind of operation like this. It tried a couple of days ago | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
to kill the overall military commander of Hamas. It is not | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
entirely clear how that operation turned out. | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
This, from the Israeli perspective, will be seen as a huge and decisive | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
success - a blow to Hamas. And also something designed to make other | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
Hamas leaders feel vulnerable, because this, of course, will... | :11:54. | :12:03. | |
Excuse me - that they have good, real-time intelligence and has the | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
military capability to act on that intelligence. As I say, it is a | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
victory of the kind that Israel has been looking to and it will see this | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
as a very important moment in the overall conflict. In terms of peace | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
talks - of course they have collapsed. What hopes they may bring | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
- well, restart? Well, the UN Security Council talks about the | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
importance of getting another ceasefire in place, for humanitarian | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
reasons. Frankly, that is an aspiration, not a policy. It is not | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
really clear who would have the power to get the two sides back to | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
the table. The talks appear to have collapsed for the very simple reason | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
that the two sides were so far apart on the fundamental issues. Although | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
there is international pressure to get the two sides back on to a | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
diplomatic track, there's no sign that is about to happen. | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
And Kevin, just bring us up-to-date, whether we've had any strikes on | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
Israel today? We have had word of rocket attacks in the southern part | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
of Israel. Word an empty school building was hit. One Israeli has | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
been injured, we understand, this morning and that rocket campaign | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
continues. There have been Israeli air strikes in Gaza. We are still | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
working to establish the details of exactly what has happened in those | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
air strikes. Essentially, in terms of this conflict, day 45 now - I | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
suppose for both sides and for civilians, on both sides, it is | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
business as usual and very hard to see where a diplomatic solution | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
comes from. Where the politicians can do work to provide an | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
alternative to the on-going military campaign. | :13:50. | :13:55. | |

MH17 crashed in Ukraine and there has been serious fighting in the | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
area since the government sent in troops to take back territory taken | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
by separatist gunmen this year. This is the land they used to control in | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
April. They have now been pushed back into the orange areas. Who | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
controls what? Deserted streets where pro-Russian separatists have | :16:00. | :16:09. | |
been surrounded by pro-dash-macro Ukrainian military and the city is | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
suffering acute shortages of food and water. The other rebel | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
stronghold is Donetsk, where Ukrainian forces are also trying to | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
take. They are finding it hard to cut off the separatist supply lines. | :16:19. | :16:24. | |

Police in the United States say it's been a relatively calm night | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
in the St Louis suburb of Ferguson where there's been almost two weeks | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
of protests sparked by a white police officer shooting | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
The US attorney general, Eric Holder, has been meeting police | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
and residents and says he hopes a thorough investigation | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
into the killing of Michael Brown will have a calming influence. | :18:22. | :18:22. | |
Our North America Correspondent Rajini Vai-dya-nathan says there's | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
a marked change in the atmosphere among the protestors. | :18:27. | :18:35. | |
We ask you right now, Lord Jesus, keep us together as one. In Ferguson | :18:36. | :18:45. | |
there is a different tone this evening. Anon of the violence we | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
have seen in previous nights. Much calmer and more of a sense of a | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
vigil. People have candles and they have been saying prayers for Michael | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
Brown. Many of the people said they will stay here as long as it takes | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
to get justice. These are the hard-core who want to keep their | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
voices heard. I am joined by Minister Gary Hill, who has been | :19:10. | :19:11. | |
praying with some of the people. Why do you think things are, this | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
evening after what has been ten nights of violent protests? First of | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
all, I want to say, you give up a prayer to God, because when people | :19:22. | :19:30. | |
break, he answers. What has happened is prayers have been cancelled. I am | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
going to go into the crowd to talk to some of the protesters. Courtney, | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
how long have you been here protesting? Since the first day. How | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
long will you be here? Until we get justice, I cannot say. When there is | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
justice, I might go home. I have got to stand strong. One of the | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
protesters speaking to our correspondent. One aspect of the | :19:57. | :20:06. | |
Islamic state emergence has been support from young Muslims from | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
Europe. Some have been seen on the streets of Holland waving a black | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
flag. The black standard flag is the most | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
recognisable symbol used by the Islamic state. It is spreading | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
across Iraq and Syria. And now, appearing on the streets of Europe. | :20:32. | :20:40. | |
This footage posted on you Tube is said to show IIS supporters in the | :20:41. | :20:42. | |
Hague, encouraging vulnerable young people to join them. It shows them | :20:43. | :20:51. | |
cutting off heads, you think, I don't have any future, I am going | :20:52. | :20:59. | |
there and it is Islam. One person said this is the thing and they feel | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
they must go. Many in this predominantly Muslim neighbourhood | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
to support the formation of an Islamic state, most oppose the | :21:10. | :21:22. | |
brutality of IS. This boy is one who has gone to take part with jihad. He | :21:23. | :21:30. | |
has trained with the Dutch army and is using those skills to teach new | :21:31. | :21:31. | |
recruits fighting against resident is sad in Syria. I have been | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
speaking to him on this instant messenger application. I ask him if | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
he is still fighting in Syria? He says yes. Then I ask if he is also | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
fighting with a desire to form an Islamic state? He says, which | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
fighter from abroad does not want Islamic law? The Dutch security | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
services said the threat is mutating with home-grown jihad ease using | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
sophisticated, multimedia propaganda tools. They make better use of the | :22:07. | :22:14. | |
Internet, social media, of YouTube, movies, we have young men and girls | :22:15. | :22:23. | |
aged 16, 17, some of them 14 who want to go to Syria or Iraq. This | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
film shows and the Dutch citizen, now understood to be based in Iraq. | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
As IS influence spreads, there are fears these foreign fighters will | :22:37. | :22:38. | |
return home battle hardened to haunt Europe. It is a time bomb in our | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
society. It is not just in the Netherlands, all our countries face | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
the same problems from the jihadists who want sharia in the Netherlands | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
and will use firearms to achieve it. I am not fantasising, this is | :22:56. | :23:06. | |
reality today. Right now, the Netherlands is struggling to find a | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
constructive formula to fight the threat within European borders. | :23:10. | :23:17. | |
The case of Gammy, a baby with Down's syndrome born to | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
a Thai surrogate and allegedly left behind by the | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
intended Australian parents, has caused international controversy. | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
This year - it's projected that in the UK alone, | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
around 200 babies will be registered as being born through surrogacy. | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
But it's still illegal to PAY for a woman to have your baby | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
in Britain and any agreement drawn up is not legally binding. | :23:34. | :23:34. | |
There are calls for more regulation to protect parents and surrogates. | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
This is Sarah Jones and had two children. Sarah also has three | :23:39. | :23:49. | |
surrogate children and the latest is Elliott with a gay couple, Nick and | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
Michael. Elliott is one of the children registered as being born | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
through surrogacy. The arrangement is based on trust and they drew up | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
an agreement, but it is not legally enforceable. They were talking about | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
the children growing up. Being teenagers and still seeing their | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
surrogates family. That friendship still being there. I think Sarah has | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
given us, obviously a son and a likely would not have, an | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
opportunity to be parents. I am hopeful Elliott will be an amazing | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
kid and adults from the kind of life we can give him. Sarah has given the | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
chance to others. We might not have had that chance otherwise. The UK | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
agency that linked together encourages everyone to stay in | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
touch. But because there are no contracts, anyone can change their | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
mind. The only money that can change hands in the UK is for expenses, but | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
that is open to abuse. It was a lack of guarantees that let this couple | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
to surrogacy in India where everything is contract did. | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
Everything is done professionally over there. When the surrogates | :25:07. | :25:20. | |
falls pregnant, she is taken to a nice, clean home for the next nine | :25:21. | :25:32. | |
months and we get up dated. We get a breakdowns on the bills. It is well | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
presented in India. Robbie and Nicky have spent over ?100,000 having | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
Daisy and Dylan in India. She argues you should be able to pay a | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
surrogates in the UK. There are loads of women out there who want to | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
help couples have babies. But because you cannot put it in the | :25:59. | :26:10. | |
papers, it is too closed up. Sarah is against commercialisation in the | :26:11. | :26:11. | |
UK but says parents need better protection. More regulation is good, | :26:12. | :26:13. | |
definitely. The parents of the child need to be recognised as the parents | :26:14. | :26:15. | |
of the child straightaway. It would make it easier. The way it works in | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
the UK has its problems, that there is a system that is working, but it | :26:20. | :26:21. | |
is not legislated for properly. As demand increases, UK groups argue | :26:22. | :26:23. | |
better, legal protection would encourage more woman -- women to | :26:24. | :26:25. | |
come forward as surrogates. If you think the company Panasonic | :26:26. | :26:33. | |
is an electronics giant you'd be right. But now it's turning its hand | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
to growing vegetables. The Japanese brand that built its name on TVs and | :26:37. | :26:38. | |
DVD players and has branched out into everything from smart phones to | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
cameras is now growing lettuces and radishes in Singapore. It's because | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
most vegetables there are imported and so their business plan is to | :26:46. | :26:47. | |
make it more food efficient. | :26:48. | :26:59. |
