Fathers Of Iraq War Dead Split Over Raids

UK Can't Stand By On IS Murder, Says Hammond

Britain cannot stand by and allow Islamic State extremists to murder thousands of people, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has told Sky News ahead of a crucial vote by MPs on airstrikes.

He insisted raids by RAF planes would be based on intelligence to minimise civilian casualties and "target the bad guys".

He was speaking as David Cameron was poised to win support from MPs for airstrikes in Iraq which senior ministers have warned could last up to three years.

Asked on Sky News over the implications for UK hostages held by IS of military action, Mr Hammond said he understood the anguish of the families, but added: "We have seen how ISIL behaves. We have seen of what they are capable of doing."

He went on: "We cannot stand by as they murder thousands of people and displace millions of people.

"We have to respond to that challenge."

He also said future airstrikes in Syria were possible, but that would require a further vote by MPs.

The widow of David Haines, who was beheaded on film by his captors, has backed targeted British airstrikes.

Dragana Prodanovic Haines said: "The recent tragic event has changed my life as well as the lives and perception of most free thinking people around the world.

"I do support British military air strikes but limited to distinctive targets. No changes in such societies can be enforced, they have to come from within."

Operations could begin within hours of a vote in the Commons which is expected to be overwhelmingly in favour of bombing raids.

Desperate to avoid a repeat of the Commons defeat over airstrikes against Syria last year, the PM is proposing a cautiously-worded motion intended to win support from all parties.

"This motion does not endorse UK airstrikes in Syria as part of this campaign, and any proposal to do so would be subject to a separate vote in Parliament," it states.

And it adds: "Her Majesty's Government will not deploy UK troops in ground combat operations."

Mr Cameron goes into the debate with an opinion poll suggesting voters strongly back airstrikes in Iraq, but would also support attacks against Syria.

A YouGov survey for The Sun shows the largest support yet for RAF airstrikes against the Islamic State in Iraq, with 57% now in favour and just 24% against.

But it also suggests voters support bombing raids against IS in Syria by 51% to 26%, even though Mr Cameron has already ruled this out for now.

The poll findings are a complete turnaround from 13 months ago, when voters opposed airstrikes on Syria's President Bashar al Assad by two-to-one.

The Cabinet met for 90 minutes yesterday and "unanimously" backed airstrikes in Iraq.

Defence Secretary Michael Fallon suggested the campaign against IS could be a "long haul" of "two to three years".

"But we have to face up to this. This kind of extremism has been spreading, taking root in democracies," he told Parliament's House magazine.

After the Cabinet meeting, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said the Government was confident Parliament would approve the Government's motion and stressed that Britain's role would currently be limited to airstrikes in Iraq.

"There will be a ground operation. It's just that we will not be providing ground combat troops," Mr Hammond said.

"If we were to put large numbers of Western troops into Iraq now that would simply feed ISIL's narrative.

"If ground forces are needed they have to come from regional countries - primarily from Iraq itself."

Asked whether the action could be extended into Syria at a later stage, Mr Hammond replied: "We haven't ruled out anything for the future."

Although the Labour leader Ed Miliband has said his MPs will support the Government in the vote, some anti-war left-wing MPs are expected to oppose military action.

Labour's John McDonell told Sky News: "I think our intervention makes it worse.

"It has to be resolved regionally."

And fellow Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn has handed in a petition at 10 Downing Street opposing bombing raids.

But some Conservative MPs want the Government to go further and deploy raids on Syria and commit troops.

Former defence minister Sir Gerald Howarth said: "If you don't attack their bases in Syria, then clearly you are not addressing it.

"One will be left with the taste in the mouth that we are leaving it to the Americans to do the dirty end of the job."

Police Find 'Area Of Interest' In Alice Hunt

Detectives searching for missing schoolgirl Alice Gross have identified an "area of interest" in west London.

They cordoned off part of Elthorne Park, near her home in Hanwell, and are examining "something of interest" found there, Scotland Yard said.

Meanwhile, police have staged a reconstruction of Alice's last-known movements.

The 14-year-old was last seen on CCTV at 4.26pm on 28 August walking along the Grand Union Canal back towards her home.

Alice's parents say the house feels empty without her

Scotland Yard hope the reconstruction, which began with her leaving her home at 1pm before walking along Brentford Lock, will help jog people's memories.

A forensic tent has been put up at the park

Detective Superintendent Carl Mehta, leading the hunt, told Sky News police were anxious to know what happened to Alice after 4.26pm that day.

He said people may remember her distinctive "power walk" - very fast with swinging arms.

Around 600 officers from eight forces are involved in the investigation, making it the Metropolitan Police's biggest operation since the 7/7 bomb attacks in London in 2005.

The area has been cordoned off

Alice's parents Rosalind Hodgkiss and Jose Gross told Sky News of their anguish as they made a plea for her safe return.

Ms Hodgkiss, who is a teacher, said: "The longer Alice has been missing the more worried and concerned that we feel and obviously the greater the anguish that we feel.

It is the biggest search by the Met since the 7/7 bomb attacks in London

"We are looking forward to being back as a family again. The house feels very empty without her."

She added: "Alice is a very lively, funny girl. She's quirky. We are really looking forward to the sound of her voice, seeing her smile, just her presence."

Mr Gross, 60, said of his daughter, a keen musician: "Her singing was a really big part of the sounds in our house."

Alice had suffered from anorexia, but Mr Gross said: "There's nothing specific we can think of that would have made her want to run away."

Police have staged a reconstruction to try to jog people's memories

Her father also highlighted the "extraordinary" level of support they had received from the public, which had been "uplifting".

Yellow ribbons are in evidence all over the area of west London where the family live, along with posters highlighting the teenager's disappearance.

The prime suspect is 41-year-old builder Arnis Zalkalns - a convicted murderer who served seven years in a Latvian jail for killing his wife.

Zalkalns is a suspect in the case and has not been seen since September 3

He was spotted on CCTV cycling along the same path as Alice on the day she vanished.

He has not been seen since September 3 and has not accessed his bank account or used his mobile phone.

Officers have been sent to his native Latvia to trace him.

A reward of up to £20,000 is being offered for anyone who has information that leads detectives to find Alice.

Alice Gross: Family Appeal 'To Bring Her Home'

By Enda Brady, Sky News Correspondent

The family of missing schoolgirl Alice Gross have said "every morning brings new agony" as they made a heartfelt plea for her to return home.

The appeal came as police stage a reconstruction of her final movements, four weeks after she disappeared.

Alice, 14, was seen on CCTV on August 28 walking alongside the Grand Union Canal in west London back towards her home in Hanwell and has not been seen since.

Some 600 officers from eight forces are involved in the search

A statement from Alice's family, released through Scotland Yard, said: "Alice has been missing for four weeks now. We are desperately concerned about her welfare and worry constantly about what may have happened to her.

"We are appealing to Alice. If you are out there, to come home where you belong. We love you and we miss you. We want to see your smile again, we want to hear you sing again, to see you cuddle Peggy, or sit at the piano. We want to be a family again.

"The whole family, all your friends, the community and the police are united in trying to bring you home.

Sightings of Alice on August 28

"We are also appealing to anyone out there who knows anything about Alice's disappearance or where she is to come forward now.

"We cannot believe that Alice is not at home with us and every morning brings new agony. We dearly love our daughter and Nina dearly loves her sister.

"Please, please help us."

Murder detectives investigating the disappearance have followed up 729 lines of inquiry and received more than 1,000 calls from the public in response to appeals, but have not yet been able to establish what happened after 4.26pm that day.

It is the biggest search undertaken since the 7/7 attacks of 2005

They have searched 30 properties, 25 square kilometres of open land and 5.5km of canals and rivers.

Around 600 officers from eight forces are involved in the investigation, making it the biggest search undertaken by the Metropolitan Police since the 7/7 transport bomb attacks in London in 2005.

Prime suspect, 41-year-old builder Arnis Zalkalns - a convicted murderer who served seven years in a Latvian jail for killing his wife - was spotted on CCTV cycling along the same path as Alice on the day she vanished.

He has not been seen since September 3 and has not accessed his bank account or used his mobile phone.

Officers have been sent to his native Latvia in an effort to trace him.

Scotland Yard hope the reconstruction of Alice's last known movements, which began with her leaving her home at 1pm before walking along Brentford Lock, will help jog people's memory of the afternoon of August 28.

Scotland Yard commander Graham McNulty has admitted his officers would have no power to arrest Zalkalns if he is found in his native Latvia or elsewhere.

He said the force would need to be "charge ready" to apply for a European Arrest Warrant, and has not done so because this would stop officers being able to interview the suspect.

A reward of up to £20,000 is being offered for anyone who has information that leads detectives to find Alice.

Take That Continue As Trio As Jason Orange Quits

Jason Orange has quit boy band Take That saying he was "proud" of what the group had achieved since forming nearly 25 years ago.

The 44-year-old said there had been "no fallings out" after he told bandmates Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald last week that he did not want to commit to a new album.

In a statement, he said: "I have spent some of the best years of my life with Take That and I'd like to thank everyone who has been a part of my journey, including my bandmates, who I feel are like brothers to me.

"Most especially my gratitude goes to all of the good and kind, beautiful and ever-loyal fans of the band, without whom none of this could have been possible. Thank you.

"At the end of The Progress Tour I began to question whether it might be the right time for me to not continue on with Take That. At the start of this year and with my full knowledge and blessing the guys began writing new material."

The group said it was a 'sad day' for them professionally and personally

Orange has followed in the footsteps of fellow ex-Take That star Robbie Williams who revealed earlier this year he would not be reuniting with the band for their next tour.

"There have been no fallings out, only a decision on my part that I no longer wish to do this," he said.

"I know how much Mark, Gary and Howard enjoy writing and making music, and they know that they have my full support and encouragement to continue on with what is to be another chapter for the band."

In a joint statement, the remaining members of the group said they "fully respect" Orange's decision.

"This is a sad day for us," they said. "Jason leaving is a huge loss both professionally and even more so personally.

"We first became aware of Jason's reservations a couple of years ago but had hoped that by giving him the desired time and space he may begin to feel differently.

"This has not been the case and we now have to accept and fully respect his decision which we know hasn't been an easy one.

"Jason's energy and belief in what this band could achieve has made it what it is today, and we'll forever be grateful for his enthusiasm, dedication and inspiration over the years."

Anjem Choudary: Preacher Held In Terror Arrests

Nine men have been arrested in London on suspicion of being members of a terrorist organisation and encouraging terrorism.

Radical preacher Anjem Choudary, 47, was reportedly among those held by officers from the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command (SO15) on Thursday.

The men, aged between 22 and 51, have been taken to police stations in central London and remain in custody on suspicion of being members of a proscribed organisation or supporting a proscribed organisation.

The organisation is believed to be Al Muhajiroun, the Press Association reported. Set up by Omar Bakri Muhammad, who was told he could not return to the UK after the 7/7 bombings, the group was banned in 2005.

A number of residential, business or community properties - 11 in east London, one in west London, one in northwest London, five in south London and one in Stoke on Trent - are also being searched as part of the investigation.

A statement from the Met Police said: "These arrests and searches are part of an ongoing investigation into Islamist related terrorism and are not in response to any immediate public safety risk."

This week, Choudary was reported to have said he had no sympathy for aid worker Alan Henning, who has been captured by the Islamic State (IS) in Syria.

He reportedly said: "In the Koran it is not allowed for you to feel sorry for non Muslims. I don't feel sorry for him."

Last month, the Government raised Britain's terror threat level from substantial to severe because of the threat from militant groups in the Middle East.

A severe threat means an attack is deemed to be "highly likely", but there is no intelligence to suggest one is imminent.

24-Hour Tube Launch Date Is Revealed

London's Tube trains are set to operate a 24-hour service from 12 September next year, it has been announced.

Night-time journeys in the capital are expected to be cut by 20 minutes on average, with some journeys expected to be reduced by up to one hour.

Transport For London said the new service, first promised by Mayor Boris Johnson and London Underground last November, had been made possible due to modernisation of the network and improved levels of reliability.

Half a million Londoners use the Tube after 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays

The launch of the "Night Tube" service will coincide with the Rugby World Cup, which is being hosted in England in September and October.

Fans attending at any of the three venues in London - Twickenham Stadium, Olympic Stadium and Wembley Stadium - will able to make use of the new service.

Mr Johnson said: "London is a bustling, 24-hour global city and by this time next year we'll have a 24-hour Tube service to match.

"Running trains all through the night was once thought impossible, but with the huge investment we've put in and upgrades that have been delivered we stand ready to take the Tube to the next level."

To meet the expected demand of the new service, there will be six trains per hour through central London on all Night Tube lines, including the Jubilee, Victoria and most of the Piccadilly, Central and Northern lines.

There will be eight trains per hour on the Northern line to meet demand at busy stations between Leicester Square and Camden Town.

Boris Johnson: 'We stand ready to take the Tube to the next level'

Mike Brown, managing director of London Underground, said: "We are now less than a year away from the first ever 24-hour services operating on London Underground.

"Already over half a million Londoners use the Tube after 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and the introduction of the Night Tube, which will cut journey times and open up new possibilities across the night time economy, is a historic step in our modernisation of the Underground."

While rail unions welcome the move, they have asked for talks with Transport for London managers to ensure it will not be a low cost, low management service.

Manuel Cortes, leader of the TSSA rail union, said: "With Boris still wanting to axe 900 jobs and close all ticket offices, we want to ensure that the new service is properly staffed to ensure safe and secure travel for all passengers and that weekend maintenance work is not postponed to disrupt weekday services."

iPods Save 750 Lives During Hospital Trials

By Lisa Dowd, Sky Correspondent

The lives of more than 750 patients have been saved at two hospitals after nurses started using iPods instead of paper charts to record patients' vital signs.

Research published in the British Medical Journal found that in one year the number of deaths at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth fell by 397 following the introduction of the new system.

At University Hospital Coventry 372 fewer patients died. The system has been trialled at the West Midlands hospital since 2007.

The special software automatically calculates if a patient is deteriorating and sends out alerts.

Staff have found the system is cutting down mistakes and saving time.

Nurse Amy-Dawn Lees uses an iPod to record a patient's blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels and temperature, as well as tapping in how a patient is feeling.

"The old paper charts were very, very difficult to decipher; the crosses, the arrows, written on the chart by the previous nurse. You can't actually distinguish exactly where the cross is," said Ms Lees.

"On the new electronic charts everything is colour-coded, you are able to see the previous observations in more detail, more accurately and obviously able to see whether your patient is the same, better or worse."

Handheld devices have replaced paper charts at two hospitals

Data from each iPod goes into a central computer system, which doctors, nurses and managers can access.

Patients across all wards are given a score of between 0 and 21.

"We have patients in today with high scores varying from 6, where we're starting to be concerned, to 11, which is the sickest patient we have," said Dr Duncan Watson, Clinical Director of Critical Care at University Hospital.

Doctors and nurses are also alerted to patients' needs by colour codes. Red signifies patients who need the most attention.

"It's radically changed things for us," added Dr Watson.

"It has decreased the mortality rates for the hospital, we are able to identify 10 patients a week and prevent them coming into the intensive care units, we can decrease their length of stay and the patients actually do better as they don't get as sick and we identify them quicker."

The system is expensive, according to Dr Watson - but it has the potential to save money long-term.

More importantly, across the two hospitals death rates have fallen by 15%.

Most hospital trusts still use a paper system, but University Hospital is now almost paper-free.

Alice Gross: Police Reconstruct Teen's Journey

A reconstruction of the last-known movements of teenager Alice Gross will take place tomorrow - four weeks after the 14-year-old went missing.

Detectives are hoping it could throw up vital clues from anyone who saw her walking alongside the Grand Union Canal in west London.

The prime suspect, convicted killer Arnis Zalkalns, has disappeared and police are in his native Latvia to try to track him down.

Police found a knife in the River Brent

Police and divers are continuing to wade through the River Brent near Ealing Hospital after a knife - currently undergoing forensic testing - was found in the area earlier this week.

The search is the biggest since the 7/7 bombings in London, with 600 officers pursuing more than 700 lines of inquiry, and more than 1,000 people spoken to.

Divers have searched several miles of canals

Thursday's reconstruction will see a police cadet walk the canal-side route that Alice took on August 28 in the hope witnesses could remember a small but potentially important detail.

CCTV recorded the teenager as she made her way back to her home in the Hanwell area of west London, and also filmed Zalkalns cycling past the same spot 15 minutes later.

Arnis Zalkans whereabouts are unknown - but he did not take his passport

Detectives believe he is likely to have seen Alice as they were both going north along the towpath.

The Latvian has not entered his homeland by plane and police there have said they would not detain him anyway because there is no evidence against him.

The labourer was seen on CCTV 15 minutes after Alice passed the same spot

Edgars Strautmanis, from the police international cooperation bureau, told the Daily Telegraph: "There are no legal grounds to put him in a cell.

"He has not committed any criminal offence in Latvia. There are no grounds to search him under Latvian law."

Zalkalns, who served seven years in prison for killing his wife and burying her in a forest after a dispute about her sexuality, has not been seen since September 3 and has not used his phone or bank account.

Alice was last seen on August 28

The labourer was also arrested on suspicion of indecently assaulting a 14-year-old girl in the UK in 2009, but no further action was taken.

Scotland Yard, meanwhile, has said it is reviewing the early stage of the investigation after coming under fire for being too slow to ask Latvia authorities for help.

A reward of up to £20,000 is being offered for anyone who has information that leads detectives to find Alice.

Zalkalns is white, 5ft 10ins and stocky, with dark brown hair that he normally wears tied in a ponytail.

Miliband To Set Out 10-Year Strategy For Britain

By Jon Craig, Chief Political Correspondent

Ed Miliband is expected to use his Labour conference speech to unveil his 10-year plan to bolster the health service and rebuild Britain.

The centrepiece of his speech is expected to be a major spending pledge on the NHS, likely to be funded with an extra £1bn from a "mansion tax" on homes worth more than £2m announced by Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls in his conference speech earlier.

The Labour leader will spell out a "national mission" with six goals for the country's future, including the doubling of the number of people buying their first home to 400,000 per year.

Other goals will be the boosting of apprenticeships until they match the number of people going to university, halving the number of low-paid workers and creating a million new "green technology" jobs.

Dismissing claims the "mansion tax" move would fail to win back voters in the South East, shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna, told Sky News it would only hit a "very tiny minority".

He said: "The idea of owning a £2m property is very far off for many of your listeners, as much as people will aspire to do that.

"We are talking about a very small number of homes and this does not affect many people at all, doesn't affect the mainstream majority who have been struggling over the last years."

Speaking on Monday, Mr Balls said the party would do "whatever it takes" to protect the NHS and Mr Miliband will echo the pledge to create a "world class 21st Century health and care service".

Referring to the close vote in the Scottish independence referendum, he will say many Scots wanted independence "because they felt they had nothing left to lose" by quitting the UK.

"Our task is to restore people's faith in the future," he will say. "But the way to do it is not to break up our country. It is to break with the old way of doing things, break with the past."

Mr Balls said Labour will do 'whatever it takes' to protect the NHS

Outlining plans to double the numbers getting on the housing ladder - partly through a pledge to be building 200,000 new homes a year by 2020 - Mr Miliband will say property ownership is "that most British of dreams" but has faded for too many young people priced out of the market.

The Labour leader will promise a "revolution in apprenticeships" to ensure as many school leavers go into one as now go on to study for a degree.

At present four times as many go to university, "leaving both young people and businesses without the skills they need to succeed for the future", he will add.

Mr Miliband will also promise help for "the growing army of our self-employed, five million working people, so often the most entrepreneurial, go-getting people in our country".

He will add: "They don't want special treatment. But they do deserve a fair shot: two thirds have no pension, one in five is stopped from getting a mortgage. It is time to end this modern injustice."

Setting out the battleground for the general election campaign, Mr Miliband will declare: "The Tories are the party of wealth and privilege. Labour is once again the party of hard work fairly-paid."

Responding to Mr Miliband's speech, Tory chairman Grant Shapps said: "Ed Miliband forgets that he was at the heart of a Labour government which had three terms, 13 years - and left Britain on its knees at the end of it."
