Nicholas Owen: This is BBC News; the headlines at 11 o’clock.
Video: grainy film of a Syrian funeral.
Owen: The Liberal Democrats launch a stinging attack on the [confused pause] campaign to change our voting system.(Video ends – cut back to frowning and confused-looking Owen.) They accuse the ‘No’ side of lies and deceit.

Video: William Hague in a chair (Strapline: ‘Referendum Row’)
Hague: British nationals should leave Syria now unless they have a pressing reason to remain. Obviously I’m concerned that if this trouble got worse, some of them would find that it wasn’t easy to get out of Syria at all.

Video: Cameron and Clegg in a school.
Owen: And, er, the other side have been batting away those criticisms, obviously; we’ll have much more on this, this hour.

Video: urban Scottish street, cutting to red letterbox
Owen: Britons are advised to leave Syria as more than one hundred [garbles] protestersarereportedtohavebeenkilled and also, in Scotland, police hunting those sending, er, parcel bombs to Celtic – people involved in Celtic – are appealing for a young couple to come forward.

Closing headline dramatic music – video alternates between blank screen and static shots of a front door.
