:04:03. > :04:10.follow suit. Once this deal has been signed, it could allow BAE Systems
:04:11. > :04:14.to go onto find deals with Saudi Arabia and other countries in the
:04:15. > :04:18.region. There could be some more good news to come, a source within
:04:19. > :04:22.BAE Systems told us that if the deal goes through another with India that
:04:23. > :04:26.it thought it had lost to the French could be back on the cards.

:07:44. > :07:49.which is in Broughton on the North Wales side of the border with
:07:50. > :07:54.Chester just if you mail signed me. Pictures show it appeared to be in
:07:55. > :08:01.some difficulty before it came down, but North Wales police arrived here
:08:02. > :08:06.just after 1pm and they found the wreckage of the light aircraft close

:10:31. > :10:39.it in the Premier league, and knows he is about to make his family even
:10:40. > :10:47.prouder. The Burnley boy, born and bred, will be there tonight. It is
:10:48. > :10:54.like a dream come true. I can't believe I am going to Wembley to see
:10:55. > :10:58.my son play. I do thought he gets five minutes, I would be so proud
:10:59. > :11:03.just watching him warming up. As a youngster, Jay Rodrguez began to
:11:04. > :11:08.shine as a footballer and play for one of his local teams. Although he
:11:09. > :11:13.clearly had talent, his coach from age ten to 14 says he was certainly

:11:21. > :11:24.pig`headed or anything. It is brilliant for the club. Jay Rodrguez

:11:38. > :11:41.Everything he has had to move up in, any level, he has adapted to it and
:11:42. > :11:46.done well. I'm sure know with the England squad he will adapt to that
:11:47. > :11:49.and be fine. With four goals to his name this season the young striker
:11:50. > :11:56.could make a name for himself at Wembley this evening. As far as his

:13:49. > :13:52.the centre of commemorations in 2015. Nearly one century on it is
:13:53. > :13:59.clear how strongly the Lusitania study still resonates in Liverpool.
:14:00. > :14:03.She was at the landing stage very regularly, she was a very familiar
:14:04. > :14:05.sight there. Vocal people held her in high regard.
:14:06. > :14:08.It's thought up to 600 people aboard, crew and passengers, had
