FTG FOR COVERAGE OF THE 2005 G8 SUMMIT IN SCOTLAND / PRIME MINISTER TONY BLAIR PRESS AVAILABILITY

Made in the 1980s towards the end of the Cold War by Roymark Limited for the NATO Information Service, "The Atlantic Alliance" presents a history of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and discusses the reasons for its continued existence. A combination of color and black-and-white archival footage, the film appears to try and dissuade sentiments that the Reagan-era arms build-ups constituted a new arms race, with the narrator noting that the aims of NATO are to preserve peace, avoid an arms race, and deter nuclear aggression. NATO is an intergovernmental military alliance based on the North Atlantic Treaty which was signed on 4 April 1949. The organization constitutes a system of collective defense, whereby its member states agree to mutual defense in response to an attack by any external party. <p><p>Film opens, mass peace protest, men, women, children carry homemade banners and signs (0:06).

Various shots of Paddington Green police station STORYLINE British police have carried out nine controlled explosions on a car believed to be linked to last week's bombings. The railway station at Luton, 30 miles (48 kilometres) north of the capital, was closed on Tuesday so police could search the vehicle. Metropolitan Police officers from London carried out the controlled explosions on the car. Police spokesman Des Lawless confirmed a "volatile substance" had been found in the car and said the explosions had been carried out as a "a matter of safety for the residents of the area, for the rail passengers and the public of Bedfordshire." Police said investigators searching the car had found "a suspicious substance believed to be potentially hazardous," but a spokesman did not know whether the material was explosive. The examination of the car came as British police announced their first major breakthrough in the London bombings, saying they had closed-circuit TV film of four suspects - possibly suicide bombers - arriving in the centre of the capital at Kings Cross mainline train station shortly before the explosions began. The Press Association said the men had driven a rental car to Luton, north of London, and then boarded a commuter train to King's Cross. Army bomb squads raided a row house in Leeds, about 300 kilometres north of London, after investigators found that three of the four suspected attackers in last week's London subway and bus bombings were from the area's tight-knit Muslim community. Members of the community expressed their shock and disbelief at the news. A man, arrested in the dramatic raids, was reportedly being held in central London's Paddington Green police station. If confirmed, these attacks would be the first suicide bomb attacks in Western Europe.

Six men are on trial accused of plotting to carry out a series of explosions on the London transport system in July 21, 2005. All six suspects deny charges of conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause explosions likely to endanger life.

Various GROUND SHOTS emergency services at Aldgate station STORYLINE London was thrown into chaos Thursday morning after a series of explosions on the tube (subway system), caused the entire network to be shut down as explosions on London buses were also reported. Initial reports suggested an electrical power surge was the cause, but there was speculation that it may have been a terror attack. British Home Secretary Charles Clarke said there were terrible injuries from the explosions. Police said incidents were reported at the Aldgate station near the Liverpool Street railway terminal, Edgware Road and King's Cross in north London, Old Street in the financial district and Russell Square in central London, near the British Museum. An explosion also destroyed a double-decker bus in central London during rush hour Thursday, police said. Two other blasts also went off in other buses, reports said. There were reports of casualties. The explosion near Russell Square occurred not long after blasts on London subways earlier Thursday, police said. Dow Jones Newswires reported that police confirmed explosions on at least two others buses. London Terrorist Attacks

CCTV footage - Train pulling out of station and filling with smoke STORYLINE A British jury said on Friday it had failed to reach verdicts in the case of three men accused of helping to plan the London subway and bus bombings in 2005 - the worst attack on Britain's capital since World War II. Prosecutors said they would consider whether to seek a retrial and that they would make a decision within a week. Judge Peter Gross ordered the men held in custody pending a decision on whether to hold a second trial in the case. The men, who acknowledged at their trial that they knew the four London suicide bombers, have been the only people charged over the attacks on the British capital's transit network. The bombings on July 7, 2005 killed 52 commuters on three underground subway trains and a bus. The accused, Waheed Ali, 25-years old, Sadeer Saleem, 28-years old and Mohammed Shakil, 32-years old, have all denied a charge of conspiring with the bombers to cause explosions. Following 15 days of deliberations, a jury at a London court said it could not agree on verdicts and was discharged. In evidence, prosecutors alleged that the three men had taken part in a test run for the 2005 attacks in December 2004, claiming they had joined some of the eventual bombers to scout out targets including subway stations and a host of tourist sites. Prosecutors claimed that the men had cased out possible targets in London, including the Natural History Museum, the iconic London Eye ferris wheel and the London Aquarium. Some of the locations bore "a striking similarity" to where London bombers Mohammed Siddique Khan, Shehzad Tanweer, Jermaine Lindsay and Hasib Hussain carried out their attacks on July 7, 2005, the prosecution team said. Ali acknowledged in evidence that he had travelled to Pakistan with Khan - the ringleader of the 2005 plot - in 2001 to attend a weapons training camp and again in 2004, when they were joined by Tanweer. He said the men planned to cross the border into Afghanistan to fight coalition troops, but claimed he became sick with diarrhea in Pakistan and could not make the trip. Ali said Khan made several visits there.

Omar, 24, is suspected of trying to bomb an underground train near Warren Street station on July 21. The Metropolitan Police said he was charged with conspiring "with others unknown to murder passengers on the transport for London system." He faces three other charges: attempted murder; making or possessing an explosive substance with intent to endanger life or cause serious injury; and conspiracy to use explosives. Omar, who was arrested in the central English city of Birmingham on July 27, is due to appear in a London court on Monday. Two other suspects in the failed July 21 transit bombings, Muktar Said Ibrahim, 27, and Ramzi Mohammed, were arrested in London on July 29 and are being questioned by police. A fourth, known as Osman Hussain and Hamdi Issac, was arrested in Rome and is being held there on international terrorism charges. Police have charged six people with failing to disclose information about the suspects' whereabouts. A further 10 are being questioned in connection with the attacks. The July 21 attacks came two weeks after suicide bombers killed 56 people on three subway trains and a bus.
