:01:04. > :01:07.Hello and welcome to the programme. The United States has carried out a
:01:08. > :01:11.third night of the air strikes against Islamic State positions in
:01:12. > :01:16.Syria. Well all refineries in three different parts of eastern Syria
:01:17. > :01:20.were attacked in a bid to damage the group's financial assets. The
:01:21. > :01:27.Department of defence thinks those refineries are worth around $2
:01:28. > :01:30.million every day for Islamic State. It also confirmed warplanes from
:01:31. > :01:35.Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were involved in the latest
:01:36. > :01:41.attacks. Reports suggest 14 fighters and five civilians were killed. The
:01:42. > :01:46.air strikes have gained further international support at the United
:01:47. > :01:49.Nations in New York. Our correspondent joins us from the
:01:50. > :01:54.turkey Syrian border. He says people who fled from Syria are starting to
:01:55. > :02:04.return home. This crowd of people behind me are Syrian Kurdish in
:02:05. > :02:09.nationality and they are now trying to go back to their homes. You can
:02:10. > :02:13.see this crowd here of men, women and children carrying what
:02:14. > :02:19.belongings they can. They are trying to go back to their hometown. Some
:02:20. > :02:25.of them are trying to fight the Islamic State jihadists. Some are
:02:26. > :02:28.going back to see their family. The numbers are small in comparison to
:02:29. > :02:33.the huge influx that has crossed from Syria into Turkey. The fact
:02:34. > :02:37.that you are beginning to see traffic in the other direction is a
:02:38. > :02:42.sign that people are beginning to feel a degree of safety in going
:02:43. > :02:46.back. That may be down to the air strikes or perhaps they feel the
:02:47. > :02:50.determination to go back is still unclear at this stage but clearly
:02:51. > :02:58.this will be welcomed either Turkish authorities who feel overwhelmed by
:02:59. > :03:04.that huge wave of people coming in. We have some fresh news from London.
:03:05. > :03:07.The Metropolitan Police say officers have arrested nine men as part of
:03:08. > :03:14.the investigation into Islamist related terrorism. The men are aged
:03:15. > :03:20.between 22 and 51 and were detained during raids in London in the last
:03:21. > :03:24.few hours. Anjem Chowdry, a radical preacher, is understood to be among
:03:25. > :03:28.them and officers are searching premises across the capital and in
:03:29. > :03:31.the North of England. Muslim scholars and leaders across the
:03:32. > :03:35.world are being asked to put their names to an open letter denouncing
:03:36. > :03:40.Islamic State bulletins. More than 100 have signed so far and it offers
:03:41. > :03:44.a religious point by point argument against the group's ideology. They
:03:45. > :03:52.say in military campaign would not be enough to defeat the group. With
:03:53. > :03:57.me is I defence correspondent. It is a battle of minds that is gaining
:03:58. > :04:01.traction? That is correct. We have seen young people on social media
:04:02. > :04:07.saying not in my name, in the wake of headings of Western hostages.
:04:08. > :04:12.This is an interesting document because it is a battle of ideas as
:04:13. > :04:17.much as it is a military campaign against Islamic State. What these
:04:18. > :04:21.scholars do and the document was released at a press Conference in
:04:22. > :04:25.Washington, they said at point by point by the ideology of Islamic
:04:26. > :04:30.State in their view is against the mainstream of Islamic banking and
:04:31. > :04:34.thought. They say things like it is forbidden to kill emissaries and
:04:35. > :04:39.ambassadors or diplomats and they extend that to include journalists
:04:40. > :04:43.and aid workers. They say it is forbidden to declare a caliphate or
:04:44. > :04:48.Islamic State and that is what Islamic State have done without
:04:49. > :04:51.consensus from all Muslims. It is written in a very approachable way
:04:52. > :04:55.and the English translation is simple and do something that would
:04:56. > :05:00.be useful I think to Muslims in trying to extend the argument but
:05:01. > :05:07.equally it would be important for non-Muslims who perhaps had early
:05:08. > :05:11.little understanding of Islam. I suppose, to be realistic, any
:05:12. > :05:14.argument coming from the West pointed at Islamic State will be
:05:15. > :05:18.laughed at and you can understand that but I suppose this is much
:05:19. > :05:24.closer to home. They are being criticised from within. It is
:05:25. > :05:28.indeed. Was released in Washington and it has the name of many Islamic
:05:29. > :05:33.scholars from around the world and many of them in the Middle East. It
:05:34. > :05:37.is interesting that many of them are in Egypt and that country feels
:05:38. > :05:42.threatened by Islamic State, for a few that I can see from the golf or
:05:43. > :05:47.Saudi Arabia, but as you said, the idea now is that others should be
:05:48. > :05:53.able to put their names to this. Does this have in any shape or form
:05:54. > :05:57.Western backing? Is this an independent initiative? And what I
:05:58. > :06:04.can see, this is independent amongst the scholars. In any other names
:06:05. > :06:07.come from people who are by no means active in Western countries are
:06:08. > :06:11.bolder or Muslim academics who have their names down there as well who
:06:12. > :06:18.work in Western universities. Interesting. Thank you very much.
:06:19. > :06:21.The French government has confirmed militants linked to Islamic State
:06:22. > :06:29.have murdered a tourist overholding in Algeria. The group released a
:06:30. > :06:32.video showing one being beheaded. At the United Nations, the French
:06:33. > :06:38.President said it was a barbaric act and said France would not give in to
:06:39. > :06:40.terrorism. Earlier I spoke to an Algerian journalist and he told me
:06:41. > :06:46.more about the group that killed Herve Goudel. This group, soldiers
:06:47. > :07:04.of the caliphate, our new dissidents. They have been operating
:07:05. > :07:10.in the mountains. These groups are dissidents and they joined Islamic
:07:11. > :07:17.State recently. They operated and this is the first time they appeared
:07:18. > :07:35.in this operation. This group is led by a young man, aged 37. He was in
:07:36. > :07:39.prison in the late 90s and was released during the process of
:07:40. > :07:46.natural reconciliation and he is now operating in the mountains. There is
:07:47. > :07:54.a huge manhunt under way for him led by the forces in Algeria. Over 2000
:07:55. > :07:57.soldiers with full military equipment are engaged in a huge
:07:58. > :08:04.operation in order to search for the group and destroy it. Breaking news

:08:43. > :08:49.Janeiro have released thousands of mosquitoes to help tackle fever.
:08:50. > :08:54.They are a special breed infected with the bacteria that suppresses
:08:55. > :09:02.the fever. It is part of a programme taking place in Australia, Vietnam
:09:03. > :09:07.and Indonesia. This is a big moment. These mosquitoes are being released
:09:08. > :09:13.out into the open. You think people would run away but this media
:09:14. > :09:17.circus, all of the attention that it generates is because these are
:09:18. > :09:29.special musky dose. They are the same kind that transmit this special
:09:30. > :09:33.fever. -- mosquitoes. They will be tested as a way to avoid the fever
:09:34. > :09:39.spreading and it is a big problem in Brazil. This is the first place in
:09:40. > :09:46.Brazil and on the American continent to receive the special mosquitoes.
:09:47. > :09:51.This woman has a daughter who is aged 21 and she had the fever three
:09:52. > :10:06.times in the last few years. I you happy about this project? She says
:10:07. > :10:11.she is very happy. They believe this will help to end the problem. She
:10:12. > :10:16.has opened up her house for researchers to set up a trap to
:10:17. > :10:25.collect the mosquitoes so they can keep track of the population. I am
:10:26. > :10:30.here with the head of the research. He has a little pot full of
:10:31. > :10:36.mosquitoes! Why does the time frame for this project matter and how long
:10:37. > :10:44.will it take for residents to feel any effect? It will be the end of
:10:45. > :10:54.the year and next season we will probably see a reduction in the
:10:55. > :10:57.number of fever cases. Last year, Brazil had 1.5 million cases of
:10:58. > :11:03.fever in the country and the back here in these mosquitoes is actually
:11:04. > :11:08.common. It is present in 60% of insects in nature but it cannot
:11:09. > :11:12.infect humans. They now represent a new hope to eradicate the fever in
:11:13. > :11:21.this community and perhaps in the country. Stay with us. Still to
:11:22. > :11:25.come... The peril for consumers of pesticide users. International
:11:26. > :11:35.agencies move to tackle residue in food and we take a look at India for
:11:36. > :11:39.the danger is not widely recognised. New research has found that women
:11:40. > :11:43.who consistently gain weight and go up a skirt size every decade are
:11:44. > :11:47.increasing their risk of developing breast cancer. Weight gain has long
:11:48. > :11:51.been associated with an increased risk of cancer but this new study of
:11:52. > :11:58.more than 90,000 women over the age of 50 indicates that putting on
:11:59. > :12:03.weight around the waist is harmful. Putting on a bit of weight as we get
:12:04. > :12:09.orders seems inevitable. I think ladies my age think it is my age and
:12:10. > :12:19.you spread out. You have had your family. You are retired. It all adds
:12:20. > :12:25.up. I was probably just over seven stone and I am nine stone now. My
:12:26. > :12:29.waist has widened. I look after myself, I exercise, but I did not
:12:30. > :12:35.know that increasing your dress size could contribute. It seems that a
:12:36. > :12:38.growing waist measured by an increasing skirt size could also
:12:39. > :12:43.increase the risk of breast cancer. Researchers studied 93,000 older
:12:44. > :12:48.women aged over 50 and compared her skirt size in their 20s to now.
:12:49. > :12:56.Those who consistently went up a size every decade increased the risk
:12:57. > :13:02.of breast cancer by 33%. Abdominal fat is associated with an increased
:13:03. > :13:06.risk of cancer and one of the cancer is postmenopausal breast cancer. It
:13:07. > :13:13.seems to work through boosting oestrogen levels. There is a link
:13:14. > :13:17.between oestrogen. There are also other factors. Some experts
:13:18. > :13:21.questioned the reliability of women remembering what size they were 30
:13:22. > :13:25.years ago, not to mention dress sizes have changed over the years.
:13:26. > :13:28.But keeping a healthy weight, staying physically active and
:13:29. > :13:42.cutting down on alcohol are still the best ways to reduce the risk of

:14:02. > :14:06.heard about the US air strikes for the third day running in Syria but
:14:07. > :14:13.the French say they have led strikes in Iraq. The United Nations is

:14:23. > :14:27.problem in some developing countries. The UN thinks the biggest
:14:28. > :14:35.challenge is in India and a lot of banned products are still widely
:14:36. > :14:41.used. The United Nations is pressing many developing countries to ban the
:14:42. > :14:47.use of old and harmful pesticides in fields like these. They have an
:14:48. > :14:53.effect on human health and the environment. While many countries
:14:54. > :14:58.such as China and Vietnam have complied, some have not. Here in
:14:59. > :15:06.India, old pesticides are still widely used. Some farmers say they

:16:15. > :16:24.that India's needs are different from other countries. I think that
:16:25. > :16:31.the Indian government does not necessarily look at these things in
:16:32. > :16:35.the same way because India has a different agricultural system. It is
:16:36. > :16:39.not only about food security, needing to feed India's massive 1.2

:16:49. > :16:55.deny that there is a problem. I would like to clarify that not a
:16:56. > :17:03.single pesticide is used in India today. These are bogus stories
:17:04. > :17:07.created by outside interests. But here, we met farmers using these
:17:08. > :17:12.both internationally banned pesticides, as well as those
:17:13. > :17:15.outlawed in India. Despite their obvious effects, the farmers say

:17:55. > :18:05.disappearance of Castro was suspicious. First, let's get the
:18:06. > :18:09.detail from on the ground. Our correspondent joins us now. This is
:18:10. > :18:16.just the most extraordinary story. Give us some more background.
:18:17. > :18:25.Indeed. It is a trending story in Ghana. What happened was that in
:18:26. > :18:30.July, Castro and Asamoah Jan, both musicians, who have collaborated in
:18:31. > :18:37.the past, they decided to go on a holiday at a particular beach here
:18:38. > :18:45.and then they went on a jet ski. Castro is suspected to have drowned.
:18:46. > :18:48.Since July, the police had been searching for him and he has not
:18:49. > :18:53.been found. The rumour went wild. People say that Asamoah Gyan had
:18:54. > :18:57.people around him, including his mother, that have died, even before
:18:58. > :19:01.or after a tour in. And they have suggested that he could have been
:19:02. > :19:06.using these people for rituals. This is a wild allegation but believe it
:19:07. > :19:11.or not people here will hold on to it. And Asamoah Gyan, through these
:19:12. > :19:21.times, people had been expecting him to talk about it. A journalist with
:19:22. > :19:26.a national newspaper as imposed this daring question to him, before he
:19:27. > :19:37.played in the cup of Nations qualifier. -- has posed. And then
:19:38. > :19:40.his brother, also a player, has authorised his friends to be his
:19:41. > :19:46.journalist up, because he was enraged. This is why Asamoah Gyan
:19:47. > :19:49.had his lawyer speak about this matter at a press conference and the
:19:50. > :19:55.lawyer has said that Asamoah Gyan has had no role in the disappearance
:19:56. > :19:58.of his music partner, Castro. I'm going to cut you shot there. The
:19:59. > :20:02.most extraordinary and convoluted story. Obviously, a full
:20:03. > :20:10.investigation taking place but that is what it is about. No wonder it is
:20:11. > :20:16.going bonkers on social media. Yes. Football and footballers are huge in
:20:17. > :20:19.Ghana. Asamoah Gyan is extremely well-known with nearly 300,000
:20:20. > :20:23.followers on Twitter. He is known to tweet links to his website about
:20:24. > :20:27.matches that he has played in and details about his life. Ever since
:20:28. > :20:30.this rapper and his partner went missing, the rumours have started to
:20:31. > :20:37.circulate on social media. They have built up in previous weeks and they
:20:38. > :20:42.have gathered pace. The -- to the point that he has had to take the
:20:43. > :20:45.unusual step of addressing these claims. He went on to Twitter to
:20:46. > :20:49.announce news of the press conference, and I think we can see
:20:50. > :20:54.that on our screens. He tweeted, time to speak up on salient issues.
:20:55. > :20:58.Event we did yesterday, after the press conference had been heard, in
:20:59. > :21:01.which he tweeted, it has been long in coming but better late than
:21:02. > :21:08.never, I hope this helps. He was also playing, back on the pitch last
:21:09. > :21:13.night. He scored a goal and assisted in setting up two others. He put out
:21:14. > :21:18.another tweet, alluding to what had happened earlier that day, in which
:21:19. > :21:22.he said another goal and two assists on such a day, thank you God. Just
:21:23. > :21:26.extraordinary that he can focus on the football at all. I'm sure we
:21:27. > :21:32.will be hearing more about that story.
:21:33. > :21:37.John Malkovich has featured in a series recreating more than 40
:21:38. > :21:42.iconic photos taken with incredible detail and care by the
:21:43. > :21:45.photographer, Sandra Miller. He started this project to fight back
:21:46. > :21:50.against what he sees as social media's negative effects on his
:21:51. > :21:59.artform. We have been speaking to him. This is Malkovich, not
:22:00. > :22:07.Whitehall. But the project is truly about me paying homage to these 30
:22:08. > :22:11.plus photographs that, over my 40 year career, has completely changed
:22:12. > :22:15.the way I look and think about photography. My mind began to think,
:22:16. > :22:20.what if two what if Irene grated those images with John Malkovich?
:22:21. > :22:25.John is willing to experiment and has no fear. And he would get in
:22:26. > :22:29.front of the camera and I would see him, with the fullest confidence,
:22:30. > :22:39.transforming himself into Marilyn Monroe. Betty Davis. My
:22:40. > :22:44.grandmother. Salvador. Picasso. -- the migrant mother. Every element
:22:45. > :22:49.was recreated. Our make-up artist researched that here. We brought in
:22:50. > :22:57.here from all over the country. We took every shot we needed to dissect
:22:58. > :23:01.it, and figure out where the photographer was at that time. What
:23:02. > :23:08.kind of light was he using, and my goal was to stay as true to what a
:23:09. > :23:14.photographer could use. Most of the time, getting ready for these shots
:23:15. > :23:19.took two hours in here and make up. And John would study his
:23:20. > :23:22.photographs, and they could see him go there. He would go to that time,
:23:23. > :23:30.to that place, and become that person. I think the one that really
:23:31. > :23:35.amazes me is the Diane Arbus twins shot. Just to see the difference in
:23:36. > :23:39.the mind of both of those twins. One accepting the photographer and
:23:40. > :23:46.actually may be enjoying the moment a little bit, while the other shows
:23:47. > :23:54.fear, and hesitation. John nailed both of those expressions.
:23:55. > :23:57.Beautifully. In the day's world, with the internet, we are absolutely
:23:58. > :24:03.bombarded with imagery. Everyone has become a photographer. It's the gram
:24:04. > :24:09.has gone absolutely crazy. It is tough. It is hard to see all of this
:24:10. > :24:14.work, it, most of it with no thought behind it. -- instead gram. I was
:24:15. > :24:21.hoping that I might be able to create a little bit of awareness of
:24:22. > :24:25.classic, iconic imagery, not just putting images out, but putting an
:24:26. > :24:29.image out. Let's think about it, let's think about what we're
:24:30. > :24:34.capturing, let's have an idea. Sandro Miller, a bit of a Magnus

:24:56. > :25:01.Saying that the Queen was purring then the line when he phoned her to
:25:02. > :25:06.tell her about the results of the referendum. I think perhaps David
:25:07. > :25:11.Cameron was a little naive to think that is conversation would not be
:25:12. > :25:18.hooked -- picked up. But it is also slightly boastful, saying that the
:25:19. > :25:20.Queen was so relieved, slightly boasting, which is quite
:25:21. > :25:27.unnecessary. I think he feels genuinely ashamed. Ashamed that he
:25:28. > :25:30.made this gaffe. And gas are made from time to time. What sort of
:25:31. > :25:37.reception will he get, do you think, from the Queen? Politically, no
:25:38. > :25:41.Prime Minister has ever -- is ever meant to disclose anything about his
:25:42. > :25:45.conversations with the Queen. And that is because the Queen is above
:25:46. > :25:48.politics. We have no written constitution so she is above
:25:49. > :25:53.politics, she is the head of state but no politics. So from that
:25:54. > :25:58.constitutional point of view, it is a big gaffe. But knowing the Queen,
:25:59. > :26:04.and her sense of humour, she is an 88-year-old lady. He is her 12th
:26:05. > :26:08.Prime Minister and have been mistakes before. I'm really think
:26:09. > :26:11.she will not rang him like a schoolteacher. It would be a shock
:26:12. > :26:15.if she was anything other than believed and purring down the line
:26:16. > :26:20.wouldn't it? Keeping the United Kingdom together, it is part of her
:26:21. > :26:24.heritage. She is the Queen of the United Kingdom, yes. Although she
:26:25. > :26:29.really wanted the best for the Scots people because she loves them, she
:26:30. > :26:34.could not, you knew that she wanted to keep the kingdom together. Give
:26:35. > :26:39.us an idea, if you can. I know that from the depths of the past, how
:26:40. > :26:45.sensitive you have to be about protocol? You have to be extremely
:26:46. > :26:58.sensitive if you are the Prime Minister. The Queen, as she has
:26:59. > :27:01.aged, she needs a few amusing instances to keep life interesting.
:27:02. > :27:03.She likes a gaffe, but with the Prime Minister, it is
:27:04. > :27:06.I'm a friend of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
:27:07. > :27:13.What exactly does it entail, this job?
:27:14. > :27:17.There aren't many mums who'd let their sons run off to join
:27:18. > :27:19.the circus. Welcome to Keele University.
:27:20. > :27:24.You can't just get things by asking. I can. Is Tony Benn in today?
:27:25. > :27:27.How do you fancy coming to work for me? Kit man.
