This is BBC World News Today, with me, Philippa Thomas. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
The fight against Islamic State militants intensifies. | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
British politicians prepare to vote on joining air strikes over Iraq. | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
The latest US-led air strikes have hit 12 oil refineries that | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
are believed to generate about $2 million a day for the IS network. | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
Meanwhile, Iraq says it's uncovered an Islamic | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
State plot to attack the subway systems in Paris and the United | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
Also coming up, the worst of the war is over in | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
Ukraine according to its President Petro Poroshenko, who reveals | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
The American actor takes on many different faces as he recreates some | :00:39. | :00:47. | |
Hit them where it hurts, at the oil wells giving them cash. | :00:48. | :01:10. | |
Action against Islamic State fighters is gathering pace. | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
On the eve of the British Parliament being recalled to debate air strikes | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
on Iraq, France is openly considering extending | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
We'll look at the political situation in just a moment. | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
But first, let's get you right up-to-date on the last 24 hours | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
This is amateur video claiming to show the aftermath of US air | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
The Americans, along with jets from Saudi Arabia and the | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
United Arab Emirates, launched the strikes on 12 small-scale oil | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
These oil refineries produce roughly 300 to 500 barrels a day | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
and were targeted in order to damage the group's financial assets. | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
The US Department of Defence estimates the refineries have been | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
While in the northern Syria town of Kobane, Kurdish forces have | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
pushed back an advance by IS forces and are calling for | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
Also on Thursday, France carried out its first strikes | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
Now, as David Cameron prepares to ask the | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
UK Parliament to approve Britain's active military involvement, | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
our diplomatic correspondent James Robbins assesses what that | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
It's now seven weeks since the United States launched | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
its air strikes against IS extremists in Iraq, and almost | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
Britain has been more cautious after the deep divisions created the last | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
Now the tide of opinion apparently favours ordering these RAF Tornadoes | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
They flew from Norfolk to Cyprus back in August. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
It only takes a political decision to switch them from | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
So what will Britain's part in strikes against IS | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
They will be carried out by those Tornadoes. | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
Six are based in Cyprus, armed with a variety of weapons to | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
These include Brimstone missiles used in Afghanistan and Paveway | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
Supporting them will be an RAF rivet joint, a successor to | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
Nimrod, providing electronic surveillance of the area. | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
Britain also has a small arsenal of Tomahawk cruise missiles. | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
A submarine with these on-board is believed to be in the Gulf already. | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
It adds up to a British military contribution which is a modest | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
by American standards, one they're certainly not relying | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
Obviously it's up to the British Government to decide | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
and characterise how they will support the coalition but they have | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
been already a huge supporter and we look forward to working with | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
Any capacity, any military capability that the British bring to | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
the fore, bring to the fight, is always welcome and always tangible. | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
For now, though, Pentagon maps show the main focus of Washington strikes | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
is in Syria, where neither Britain nor France is willing to attack. | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
So having Britain target extremists in Iraq could help Washington. | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
But a veteran British general warns destroying IS as a whole | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
And that, of course, brings us to the contentious subject | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
of ground forces - what sort of ground forces, whose ground forces? | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
And I accept there is great reluctance in this country | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
and arguably in the United States to go back to where we were. | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
Iran's President Rouhani used the UN stage today to condemn what he | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
IS extremism has brought Iran and the United States closer, | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
sharing an enemy, but still the pressure from Iran is for a regional | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
Let's bring you more now of those remarks James mentioned by Iran's | :05:04. | :05:13. | |
President Hassan Rouhani at the UN General Assembly, where he said | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
that it was blunders by Western governments that had led to the rise | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
Certain intelligence agencies have put blades in the hands | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
All those who have played a role in founding and supporting these terror | :05:28. | :05:38. | |
groups must acknowledge their errors, which have led to extremism. | :05:39. | :05:48. | |
They need to apologise not only to the past generations, | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
As British Parliamentarians prepare for that vote on military action | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
on Friday, with me is Sir Christopher Meyer, former British | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
Welcome. Good to see you. Do you think it will be a yes row at | :06:04. | :06:17. | |
Westminster? I do think it will be a yes Grove. All the pundits are | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
saying so. Apparently all three party leaders are agreed. There will | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
be some objections, I guess, from the Tory, Labour and Lib Dem | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
ventures. You will get the votes through and British planes will be | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
bombing over Iraq. Iraq. What about Syria? To me, it does not make any | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
sense to bomb ISIS in Iraq and not bomb them in Syria, because | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
effectively what you're saying to them is, you have a safe haven in | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
Syria but we will hit you all over Iraq. That is not actually a | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
sustainable position and would not be surprised if in due course, David | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
Cameron came back to the House of Commons to revisit this question, | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
because, as the Americans have or be worked out with some of the Sunni | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
states, if you are going to cut the head of the snake, you have to go to | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
Syria rather than Iraq. So what would the solution be? Is it that | :07:17. | :07:26. | |
being in Syria be part of an invitation from the Iraqi | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
government? That is what they are saying. This is being planned in | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
Syria and executed in Iraq, so, please, go after them in Syria as | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
well. I'm not a lawyer and it is all a bit murky but I do believe if you | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
construct a good case in international law for doing what we | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
are doing and going to in Iraq, we can do it also in Syria. Syria was | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
the big vote in Westminster last year and it was decided not to take | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
action, so if we are moving towards Westminster moving towards the | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
previously unthinkable, should we also be thinking about Iran and | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
involving Iran? President Rouhani seemed to be rebuking the West | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
there. He would be, wouldn't he? But he seemed to be making a few points | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
that one of them being if there was a solution, it would need to be a | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
regional one rather than one imposed by the West. He touches on a very | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
important point. We can only justify what we intend to do in Iraq and | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
Syria if we are in coalition with Sunni Arab states and it has to be | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
said, in a de facto operational kind of way with Iran as well, but this | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
cannot be done without the involvement of Iran. And the notion | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
that we can go ahead and deal with ISIS and safely arrange it to stay | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
in a box over there is ridiculous. They are already in Iraq working | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
with people there. I was speaking to a commentator yesterday who was | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
saying, this is an unholy alliance. We are in Syria dealing with | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
President Assad's enemies and then de facto dealing with Iran. The | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
Americans won't stomach that. Well, they truly are the heart of | :09:15. | :09:22. | |
darkness, to use President Obama's words the other day. And the | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
Iranians are in it. It is a fact of rife. We have to work this with some | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
skill politically and tactically. What if there are prize is if the UK | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
gets involved in active military strikes? There is always the danger | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
of reprisals. That is a constant fear and worry and anxiety, and for | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
families who have hostages in the region, this is a terrible moment, | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
but ISIS has to be dealt with. Otherwise there will be more | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
hostages, more beheadings, more sober she of a kind -- more savagery | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
of a kind. It does require politicians to hold their nerve when | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
you hear about plots and threats in the West, for example. It requires a | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
lot of resilience, resolve and nerve. It will be a tough one and it | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
will last for quite a while. Thank you for coming in. Thank you. | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
Meanwhile, on the sidelines of the UN gathering in New York, Iraq's | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
Prime Minister has made the dramatic claim that his security services in | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
Baghdad have uncovered an imminent terrorist plot to attack the subway | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
Let's get more from our correspondent at the | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
It sounds very dramatic. What was he saying? He said, well, only this | :10:34. | :10:46. | |
morning we were getting information from Iraq about an imminent plot | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
that was targeting the subway in Paris on the transporter -- and the | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
transportation systems of America. We have been trying to clear this up | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
and speaking to an Iraqi official in the last hour or so, who's that the | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
information came from several Islamic State fighters captured in | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
Iraq. They were interrogated by intelligence officials there and | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
they have given up this information which they say means there is a plot | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
being hatched targeting the Paris subway and also transportation | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
systems in America. And it involves recruits, Islamic State recruits, | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
who come from America and France. The Americans are saying, well, we | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
have no evidence of this. They had been threats against transportation | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
systems in America in the past from various militant groups but we | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
haven't got any credible recent information that suggests any new | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
threat. And those are the indications we are getting from the | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
French as well - that they haven't got any of the mage and they have | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
heard. Anything that would point towards an imminent threat on their | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
underground system in Paris. -- any information. How is the news or | :12:00. | :12:09. | |
allegation being received in the US? Well, the Governor in New York has | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
put out a statement in the past few minutes and there is no increased | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
security in response to what the Prime Minister has said this | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
morning. What he has said is that in the past few weeks, they have | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
stepped up security on the new -- New York subway system and the buses | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
because of concern about possible action in New York related to what | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
has been going on in Iraq and Syria. But, again, no new information that | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
points to an imminent threat. That was just a precaution that they have | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
taken. And worth pointing out that the US threat level has not been | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
changed at all. And the sources we have in the administration and | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
intelligence community already knocking this down and suggesting we | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
treat this with great caution. A final thought. We're hearing | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
something from the FBI about the Islamic State fighter that has been | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
called jihadi John. Any details on that? And interview has been done | :13:10. | :13:19. | |
with ABC News here in America and it has indicated they have established | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
the identity of this Islamic State fighter who has appeared in these | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
beheading videos as executioner, believed to have a London accent and | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
believed to be a Briton who they have been trying to identify. He | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
hasn't released that information yet. And given no indication of when | :13:39. | :13:46. | |
they will. It is clear is because David Cameron was asked this | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
question. He was in New York only yesterday and he was asked about | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
whether they were close to identifying this Islamic State | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
fighter who goes by the name or has been called by the media jihadi | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
John, and he said, we are very close, so an indication that the FBI | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
do believe they have identified that individual. Obviously you will keep | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
a watch on that. Thank you very much. | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
A radical Islamist preacher and political activist has been | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
arrested by counter-terrorism police in London. | :14:15. | :14:15. | |
Anjem Choudary has been detained along with eight other men | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
on suspicion of being members of or supporting a banned organisation, | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
although police say the arrests are not in response to any immediate | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
Our home affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford reports. | :14:24. | :14:33. | |
It was a move against some of the most outspoken Islamist in Britain. | :14:34. | :14:42. | |
In all, 19 properties were raided by counterterrorism command officers | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
early this morning. Here in West London, the focus was on a vehicle. | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
In the East End, officers were so watching -- searching a halal sweet | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
shop owned by the brother of one of the arrested men. The only clue to | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
their presence, this card saying the officers were from the | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
counterterrorism search team. The police arrived at this restaurant in | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
West London this morning and spent six hours searching the premises. It | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
is where Anjem Choudary and a large group of men had dinner last night. | :15:15. | :15:27. | |
Will And is and has been one of Britain's most controversial Muslims | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
for more than a decade. -- Anjem Choudary. He was a member of a group | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
which was banned in 2010. He admitted he knew one of the killers | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
of Fusilier Lee Rigby and they were seen together on demonstrations. | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
There was no suggestion that Anjem Choudary was linked to the merger. | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
His views are on the fringe of the that Muslims in Britain have. They | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
do not represent anybody other than the few hundred followers he has in | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
the UK so I would not classify him mainstream Islam. Also arrested, | :16:05. | :16:12. | |
this man. He famously heckled the then Home Secretary in 2006. All | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
nine men detained today are being held on suspicion of encouraging | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
terrorism and belonging to a banned organisation. The police were keen | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
to stress the arrests were part of a long-running operation and no | :16:31. | :16:31. | |
immediate risk to the public. Now a look at some | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
of the days other news. A Mediterranean cruise ship has come | :16:37. | :16:38. | |
to the aid of 300 migrants - thought to be Syrian refugees - | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
packed on board a fishing boat Most of the people | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
on the small fishing boat were Cypriot authorities said they were | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
alerted after they picked up a radio distress signal as | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
the boat was caught in rough seas. Rival Palestinian factions Hamas | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
and Fatah say they've agreed to The two factions made | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
the breakthrough in talks in Cairo - and the new government will take | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
immediate control of the Gaza Strip. Hamas and Fatah split in 2007 and | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
previous reconciliation agreements France is to introduce standardised | :17:09. | :17:10. | |
cigarette packaging and ban electronic cigarettes | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
in certain public places including It's the latest European country to | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
do so, with the aim of reducing the high | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
smoking rates among under sixteens. The president | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
of Ukraine says he believes the most dangerous part of the war | :17:33. | :17:33. | |
against pro-Russia separatists Petro Poroshenko was speaking | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
in Kiev as part of a wide-ranging address in which | :17:37. | :17:45. | |
he made it clear he wants Ukraine to Mr Poroshenko said | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
his priorities include tackling corruption and reforming | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
the economy and the tax system . Our correspondent David Stern is | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
in Kiev. TRANSLATION: I have no doubt my | :17:59. | :18:09. | |
peace plan will work. I have no doubt that the most dangerous part | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
of the war is in the past, thanks to the heroism of Ukrainian fighters | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
and soldiers. Moreover, this war is an additional argument in favour of | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
changes without any delay because with the state which does not | :18:25. | :18:32. | |
function, we can lose. Our correspondent is in Kiev. I | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
understand the president has been making great play of today being | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
momentous. Exactly, he was speaking at a news conference. It lasted for | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
two and a half hours. He struck a very positive note about the | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
developments, saying that the most dangerous part of the conflict is | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
now over. Earlier he had said this was the first 24 hour period, with | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
no casualties or fatalities and this puts him in a good mood. The | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
cease-fire which was declared at the beginning of the month is still very | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
shaky, the fighting continues although at a lower level. We have | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
heard of more casualties today but this has not been confirmed. | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
Premised apologetically said the fighting was decreasing. He was | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
presenting his reform programme and said he needed peace in the country | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
to open a new front against corruption to introduce reform which | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
he says is crucial for the Ukraine at the moment. Is there evidence | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
that Russian forces are pulling back from that eastern region? We have | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
heard reports from NATO officials saying they are pulling back. The | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
Ukrainians say there are less numbers but there are still | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
significant numbers on the ground. When we heard the Russian forces | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
were pulling back, they are just moving across the border so they | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
could move in quickly if necessary. But the fact that his troop movement | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
is adding to the positive note, by President Poroshenko and other | :20:17. | :20:17. | |
Ukrainian officials. Thank you. The British Prime Minister David | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
Cameron is to apologise to the Queen in person for his overheard comment | :20:26. | :20:27. | |
that she "purred" down the phone when he told her that voters in | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
Scotland had rejected independence. The Queen lays great emphasis | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
on her political impartiality. Mr Cameron has now said he is | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
"embarrassed" and "extremely sorry" for his remarks - as our political | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
correspondent Alex Forsyth reports. The meeting with New York's former | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
mayor was meant to be a photo opportunity but | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
the camera caught the Prime Minister recounting a private conversation | :20:50. | :20:51. | |
in which he told the Queen Scotland Protocol dictates conversations | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
between the Queen and her ministers David Cameron may not have meant | :20:55. | :21:11. | |
for his comments to have been made public but his indiscretion | :21:12. | :21:19. | |
and choice The Queen has 60 years | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
of experience and part of her role was to pass on her views | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
to the Prime Minister but it is They probably had some choice words | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
in private for the Prime Minister. Downing Street has already contacted | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
Buckingham Palace to offer He is said to be very embarrassed | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
and extremely sorry and it is thought he will apologise | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
in person during -- next. At future public | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
engagements, David Cameron may be more wary about what he says, | :21:49. | :22:00. | |
especially when he is in front of A US man sentenced to five years | :22:01. | :22:20. | |
hard labour in North Korea has spoken publicly about his ordeal. | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
North Korean authorities claimed he tore up his Visa and demanded | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
asylum. He spoke under close supervision. Prison life is eight | :22:33. | :22:41. | |
hours per day, mostly it is agriculture, digging around. Other | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
than that it is isolation, no contact with anyone. But I have been | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
in good health, no sickness. The American actor John Malkovich | :22:50. | :22:59. | |
has featured in a series recreating more 40 iconic photographs - | :23:00. | :23:01. | |
each taken with incredible care and detail - but in an ironic twist, the | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
project has now gone viral online - even though the photographer | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
Sandro Miller, started it to fight back against what he sees as social | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
media's degradation of the art form. Anna Bressanin spoke to Miller | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
about what he was trying to do This is a Malkovich, | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
this is not Warhol. The project Malkovich, Malkovich, | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
Malkovich is about me playing My mind began to think what if I | :23:28. | :23:35. | |
recreated those images with John is willing to experiment | :23:36. | :23:43. | |
and has no fear. When he got in front of the camera, | :23:44. | :23:52. | |
I would see him with the fullest of confidence transform him | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
self into Marilyn Monroe, Bette Davies, the migrant mother, | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
Salvador Dali, Picasso. We brought hair in | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
from all over the country. We had a seamstress make | :24:04. | :24:22. | |
the clothing. We took every shot, | :24:23. | :24:23. | |
dissected it and figured out where the photographer was at that time, | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
what light he was using. My goal was to sustain | :24:27. | :24:28. | |
as true to what It would be a two-hour time | :24:29. | :24:30. | |
for hair and make up to get ready I could see he would go to that time | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
and place and become that person. The one that really amazes me is the | :24:38. | :24:54. | |
Diane Arbus one - this twins shot. Just to see the difference | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
in the mind of both of those twins. One accepting the photographer and | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
enjoying the moment well the other John nailed both | :25:02. | :25:03. | |
of those expressions In Today's world with the internet, | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
we are bombarded with images. It is tough to see all this work, | :25:11. | :25:23. | |
most with no thought behind it. I was hoping maybe I would be able | :25:24. | :25:39. | |
to recreate a little bit of awareness again | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
of classic movie imagery. Not just putting images out to put | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
an image out, Think about what we're capturing | :25:50. | :25:51. | |
here, let us have an idea. On Wednesday we brought you | :25:52. | :26:03. | |
celebrations from India, as the country successfully put a | :26:04. | :26:05. | |
spacecraft into orbit around Mars. is the first picture | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
of Mars taken by the satellite. Part of its mission is to study | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
the Martian atmosphere for signs Just to remind you, it's | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
the first time a maiden voyage to Mars has entered orbit successfully | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
and it is the cheapest too. Hi there, it's been a cloudy day for | :26:27. | :27:03. | |
most parts of the British Isles but tomorrow this will change, early | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
morning sunshine in Scotland and northern Ireland and these sunny | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
skies will mood so forth. Overnight tonight it will be very windy with a | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
band of rain pushing southwards across Scotland and | :27:19. | :27:20. |
