In sport the rain cant dampen englands optimism as they chase victory in the third test against south africa extending their lead yesterday before bad weather stopped play. And sarah has the weather. Another unsettled date with sunshine and heavy downpours. Police in australia say theyve foiled an islamist inspired plot to bring down an aircraft with an improvised device. The Prime Minister, malcolm turnbull, said the plot appeared to be elaborate, rather than planned by a lone wolf. Phil mercer reports. Investigators in australia say they had information about a plot to blow up an aircraft involving the use of an improvised device. Four men have been detained following raids across sydney by heavily armed police and members of australias domestic spy agency. It is reported the operation was not planned, but a Rapid Response to a tip off. The Prime Minister, malcolm turnbull, said the authorities have foiled what appears to be an elaborate conspiracy. I can report last night that there has been a majorjoint Counterterrorism Operation to disrupt a terrorist plot to bring down an aeroplane. The operation is continuing. A woman who said her son and husband were among those arrested in sydney has denied they had any links to extremism. But Senior Police commanders say the raids were part of an alleged islamic inspired plot. Additional Security Measures have been put in place at domestic and International Airports around the country. Australias National Terror threat level remains at probable, which means the Intelligence Agencies believe that groups or individuals have the intent and capability to carry out an attack. Since 2014, 70 people have been charged as a result of over 30 Counterterrorism Raids across the country. A Record Number of criminals have had their sentences increased under a scheme which allows members of the public to ask for them to be reviewed. Last year 1m criminals in england and wales had their sentences increased. The government says it wants to extend the scheme to include a number of terror related charges. Aisling mcveigh reports. Sarah stabbed a man to death in november 2014. She was convicted of manslaughter and given a 3. 5 yearjail sentence. Her neighbour, michael, was a convicted paedophile and sarah, a mother of five, claims she lost control, stabbing him 8 times. It was in january last year that the punishment was considered to be unduly lenient. Judges at the Court Of Appeal ruled that because she took a knife to his flat she must have intended to cause serious harm and her sentence was doubled to 7. 5 years. 1m criminals have had their sentences increased in the last year, according to the Attorney Generals office. The unduly lenient scheme allows them to the public to query penalties for serious offences and more people are doing just that. Increases are up i7 on the previous year. Sex offences are the highest number of cases where sentences were increased and 14 Sex Offenders who had originally escaped prison are now serving time behind bars. From next month, the scheme will be widened to include an extra i9 terror related offences. The Attorney General says in the fast number of cases, the judges do get it right. The number of sentences that are increased represent a tiny proportion of the 80,000 crown court cases heard every single year. Donald trump has good inside china over its relations with north korea. His comments come after north korea carried out its second major missile test in a month. The us air force says two of its Bomber Planes have flown over the Korean Peninsular in response. More than 20,000 people have been evacuated from a Music Festival in spain after a huge fire engulfed part of the main stage. The fire broke out at the Tomorrowland Unite festival near barcelona, organisers say it was caused by a technical malfunction. No injuries have been reported. Tim allman reports. This was not the sort of spectacle that thousands who had come here had been expecting. This stage at this dance Music Festival in barcelona lit up by a giant fire. Initially some took photos, perhaps they thought it was part of the show. But if these were pyrotechnics, they appeared to have gone badly wrong. Very soon, the audience was cleared. Thousands quickly moved to safety. There are no reports that anyone was injured. People ran towards the exit. There was no panic but many people were inside the festival at this hour. The firefighters took 30 minutes or so to put the fire out and the police also took time to get all the people off the stage. Tomorrowland unite is a multi venue festival held in eight Different Countries including spain. The location there was barcelona, the concert taking place in can zam park in the north of the city. An unfortunate end to what should have been a great night. But with no apparent death or injury, things could have been so much worse. Cabinet divisions over brexit have surfaced again. Related to migration. Emma this time theres been a differences of opinion opinion over migration . All that talk about getting back control of the borders. Freedom of movement rules such a key aspect of the brexit campaign, ending the ability for european citizens to come and live in britain in unlimited numbers. It seems less clear now as to whether Freedom Of Movement can be ended immediately when brexit happens in march 2019 whether in reality it will not be possible straightaway. Philip hammond the chancellor says it will be some time before we are able to introduce full Migration Controls between the uk and the eu, suggesting there could be up to three years after brexit where things remain much the same. But in an interview with the sunday times liam fox, the International Trade secretary, showed his opinion to be different. He said, hang on a second, if Freedom Of Movement remains after brexit, that would not keep faith with the referendum. If eu rules change it is not delivering what people voted for. He told the sunday times he has not been party to any discussions about an arrangement which keeps immigration rules the same or similar to now. It seems we are seeing Cabinet Ministers contradicting each other on this. There is broad agreement that some sort of transitional arrangements will be needed but divisions over what this will look like and how it will make brexit look to voters. For now, thank you. The Scottish Government has called for scotch to be defined in uk law in order to protect Whisky Exports after brexit. Holyrood is concerned that any future trade deal with the United States might allow american firms to brand their whiskies as scotch. Supports 20,000 jobs and is worth £4 billion in scotland, the industry. Honolulu has become the first major us city to ban pedestrians from looking at their mobile phone, texting or using digital devices while crossing the road. The measure, which will take effect in hawaiis largest city in october, is aimed at reducing injuries and deaths from distracted walking. Fines start at £11 and go up to £75 for repeat offenders. Urgent calls to the Emergency Services are exempt from the ban. That idea of whether it should be walking down the pavement, people getting in touch. Charles says he uses a wheelchair and cant tell you how many times people have walked in sydney, lay on top of the, because of using their phones. What into me. of using their phones. What into me. Walked into me. Especially with benches, all the hazards. Dont do it. Later today the Belgian City Of Ypres will pause to remember one of the most costly campaigns of the First World War. By the close of the three month battle, half a million men were dead, injured, or missing, in the mud of no mans land. And a century later, it is still yielding deadly reminders of the fighting. Robert hall is there for us. What an impressive location. Where are you . This is the gate that sits across the road from where the men would have marched up from what was then passchendaele to the trenches which are happening mile from where iam standing. Which are happening mile from where i am standing. 0ne which are happening mile from where i am standing. One of the things that strikes you most when you come to the battlefield, the number of the missing. Thousands of men whose remains were never found could the missing. Thousands of men whose remains were neverfound could never be identified. More than 511,000 of them carved here into the walls of them carved here into the walls of the gate. But constant reminders all around here of what took place during the war. Commemorating it over the next couple of days but in the Farmland North of year, they experienced the i am harvest, anywhere in the grounds which contains the debris, some deadly. Im harvest this is a corner of europe where First World War shells explode every working day. The belgian bomb disposal teams, based in a village, deal with at least 200 tonnes of it unexploded munitions. After 100 years, you might think the ireland harvest would be reducing. It is not true. Iron harvest. 0ne would be reducing. It is not true. Iron harvest. One in three failed to explode, leaving 100 million still in the ground. If you miles away and another call. A farmer has left several unidentified shells for the squad to collect. 11. 5 inches. And another. The event of the fuses, high explosive. 0ne and another. The event of the fuses, high explosive. One third of the munitions that the team uncovered contain chemicals such as mustard gas. The firstjob, to clean them up and not always gently to get a rough idea of how dangerous they might be. We will look for characteristics and exterior markings. Doing that with a copper brush or a hammer. That sounds Old Fashioned but copper brush or a hammer. That sounds Old Fashioned but it is a lot safer than using a Sound Blaster or High Pressure water. Safer than using a Sound Blaster or highpressure water. The next step is an x ray. Highpressure water. The next step is an xray. This is the chemical stuff. Around this expose of. Waiting for the generator. Even after 100 years, lives are at risk here. The chemical shells are eventually destroyed in a sealed chamber. Conventional explosives follow a separate path. Shells, bombs, grenades and bullets force to the service of Local Farmland by frost action and ploughing. Which exposes, how many in this one crate . 50 kilos, every crate. More than 50 kilos, even deeply buried, would risk of damage to buildings and so this meticulous operation rolls on. A legacy of a distant war that will provide these lethal reminders well into another century. Today and tomorrow, the duke and Duchess Of Cambridge will come here. To hear the last post. Sounded by firemen. Virtually uninterrupted it has been done since the 1920s. Then a procession down the road to lords the Central Square of ypres. You might be able to see the tower which was rebuilt along with the rest of the city after the war. An event there will contain music, the words of those who fought in the war and poetry which will attempt to bring that story to life. They do not have witnesses any more but at least the people watching will get a sense of what im folded a century ago. Tomorrow, a more formal ceremony just outside the village of passchendaele.

Cathedrals have been built at the heart of our great towns and cities for centuries, but in the face of falling Congregation Numbers and rising repair bills they are being forced to modernise. Fiona trott has been along to Durham Cathedral to get up close to some priceless relics of st cuthbert which the Cathedral Hopes will help it to attract more visitors. 0ne one of englands most treasured landmarks. Now, some of its own treasures put on permanent display. The Sanctuary Knocker was the bass port for criminals or those fleeing justice to get an extension on their sentences. They could claim century for 37 days. Personally, this is the jewel of the exhibition. This cross, saint cuthbert, probably watch it as a bishops cross. Over 700,000 people visit Durham Cathedral but entry is free every year. Running costs are high. The deficit is around 500,000 a year. We are trying to turn the ship and turn it into financial sustainability. The Tower Renovation alone costs £5 million. At Guildford Cathedral repair costs have been so high that at one point the bishop warned it may have to close its doors. At peterborough, redundancies and a new dean trying to pay off its debts after being appointed. A special Working Group has been set up to manage all the cathedrals. It is important for the p cathedrals. It is important for the upkeep is an Admission Charge has to be put here. I would not complain. Something that has to be done to keep the place they way it is. I would be happy to pay odyssey and exhibition, or even get inside and help pay for something. £10 sounds fairto me. Help pay for something. £10 sounds fair to me.
