And, the first Rail Freight Service from the uk to china sets off on a 7,500 mile journey, gcioss seven countries. Its 5pm. Our top story is that the Funeral Service has taken place for Pc Keith Palmer, who was stabbed to Death Outside the Houses Of Parliament during last months Terror Attack at westminster. Thousands of Police Officers from across the uk lined the route of the Funeral Procession, through Central London to Southwark Cathedral. Pc palmer, who was 48 and married with a five year old daughter, was guarding an entrance to parliament when he was stabbed by Khalid Masood. Keith palmers finaljourney began at westminster, close to the spot where his life was taken. And here, in this great historical setting, the most prominent floral tribute to number one daddy brought home what this day was about. A five Year Old Girl who will grow up without her father. Keith palmer was also a husband, son and brother. Unarmed and unthreatening, pc palmer was murdered by Khalid Masood because of the uniform he was wearing and the place he was helping to protect. The cortege wound its way through the streets to Southwark Cathedral. Thousands of officers lined the route, many involved in a massive security operation. While this was a very public farewell, pc palmers family had appealed for privacy. So they werent filmed or photographed. Officers from all over the country had converged on london. They didnt know keith palmer in life, but in death they could identify with him and his family. Overhead, two Police Helicopters performed a fly past and a salute. Among the public, some onlyjust old enough to know the dangers. Just before the service began, there was a two minute silence in london and at Police Stations around the country. Keith palmers friends, who have described him as a model police officer, carried his coffin into the cathedral. This was the first day in post of course a good cressida dick, who read a poem in the service. He was an extraordinary man. We havejust finished a terribly sad and poignant service to say goodbye to him, and also to celebrate an amazing life. He was clearly very kind, very good hearted, very ha rd working, he was clearly very kind, very good hearted, very hard working, a very, very talented police officer. Afterwards, 50 members of the officers family left for a private cremation. They paid tribute to his police family. Away from the cameras, they are saying goodbye to a man they described as a wonderful dad and husband. Lets speak to our correspondent daniela relph, whos at Southwark Cathedral. June was talking about the police family. This was a man who died doing hisjob, paying the highest of prices. A day of reflection for the thousands of Police Officers who lined the route of the cortege, but also the Tens Of Thousands watching the Service Across the country. Absolutely. It is a strange word to use for a Funeral Service, but there was such a sense of spectacle and occasion today. I am not sure we have ever seen a police Funeral Service on this scale, seeing all of those officers, not just service on this scale, seeing all of those officers, notjust here, but around the country, honouring the silence, he once he lined up as the cortege arrived here at the cathedral. It was quite something to say. Quite fitting that it is the cathedral that help the service, he was a south london through and through. He had done most of his policing here, and in the congregation today was the manager of charlton athletic, where keith palmer had been a loyal season ticket holder, and The Club Captain as well, johnnie jackson. Joining them, various dignitaries, including amber rudd, sadiq khan and tobias ellwood, the mp Who Fought So Ha rd to tobias ellwood, the mp Who Fought So Hard to save the life of keith palmer in those minutes after the attack. In terms of the service here, it was, as it had to be, a mix of pomp and ceremony alongside an intimate, private family Funeral Service. There were personal tributes delivered by neal sawyer, who had worked with him over a number of years. There was a poem read by cressida dick, the new commissioner of the metropolitan police, who started work today. She was here for this Funeral Service. There was also the sermon delivered by the dean of suffolk, and we now know that in that sermon he said, Keith Lay Down his life for each one of us here. The service ended with the last post and a playing the national anthem. Foreign ministers from the g7 group of leading economic nations are meeting in italy over the next two days as International Tension mounts over the conflict in syria. The us Secretary Of StateRex Tillerson is leading calls for russias president Vladimir Putin to distance himself from President Assad and open a path to a negotiated settlement of the civil war. The foreign secretary borisjohnson will argue that President Assad has no future. The meeting is taking place in the tuscan city of lucca, from where our Diplomatic CorrespondentJames Robbins sent this report. Americas Secretary Of State is in italy to turn up the International Heat on syrias President Assad and his russian backers. Rex tillerson very deliberately joined an international Wreath Laying at the memorial to a nazi atrocity here in 1944, the massacre of local villagers. We remember the events of august 12th 191m that occurred here. Then he drew a direct parallel to last weeks gas attack in syrias idlib province. We rededicate ourselves to holding to account any and all who commit crimes against the innocent anywhere in the world. President trumps Foreign Minister will use the next two days in italy to work with the major european powers, including britain. Rex tillerson is hoping to produce a strong joint message to russias president putin, urging him to restrain the syrian regime, which moscow fights alongside, and to work instead for political transition away from President Assads rule. He is seeing borisjohnson to coordinate their approach, with the foreign secretary apparently ready to urge new sanctions against russia if it does not give ground. We will be discussing the possibility of further sanctions, certainly on some of the Syrian Military figures, and indeed on some of the Russian Military figures who have been involved in coordinating the Syrian Military efforts, and are thereby contaminated by the appalling behaviour of the assad regime. But now President Assads military backers, russia and iran, are raising the temperature further, warning of Military Retaliation if america repeats last weeks Cruise Missile strikes. The kremlin says those strikes show americas total lack of willingness to cooperate with them on syria. The whole focus of the talks over the next couple of days here in this Ancient Fortified Tuscan City will be on trying to send Rex Tillerson to moscow with the strongest possible internationally based message that russia has to change its behaviour, has to distance itself clearly from President Assad. The problem is that all past efforts to do just that have failed. With me is sir andrew wood, former British Ambassador to russia between 1995 and 2000. James talking there about Rex Tillersons need to take a unified message to moscow on wednesday to say that enough is enough. The possibility that that message could include may be further sanctions, how worried are the russians . We have to be careful when we talk about sanctions, not to provide a mixed message. They have so far been directed to russia, because of ukraine and their innovation. It does not mean to say they are not appropriate here, but there could be appropriate here, but there could be a mixed message. What the americans did does have implications for ukraine as well. That said, it is very right that there should be some sort of unified western message, including because it has not been entirely clear what the follow up to the strike was to have been or how it fitted into a wider american and western purpose. Its important to remove doubt on the russian side about that. It is also the case that the russians will have had a powerful shock, which is why they are now responding by talking of retaliation, i am are now responding by talking of retaliation, iam not are now responding by talking of retaliation, i am not sure what that could be, why it is against International Law in those eyes, while they govern their thoughts as to where they are going to go. While they govern their thoughts as to where they are going to gom while they govern their thoughts as to where they are going to go. It is interesting that you talk about mixed messages about going to moscow with the suggestion that they may be new sanctions. Are you saying that because sanctions are already in place over ukraine, further sanctions might not make much of a difference . That is possible. Perhaps why we have not had this. Bashar al assad has used Chemical Weapons before, chlorine gas, barrel bombs, and there has been no talk of sanctions. If that because of the sanctions. If that because of the sanctions already in place . More cynically, i suspect it is because nobody has thought of that in that context. There are difficulties for us context. There are difficulties for us all. Assad has a measure of power. He is a problem for the russians, not just because power. He is a problem for the russians, notjust because of his behaviour, but also because of them not having an alternative. We talk about a settlement. For us, that is an almost impossible future to contemplate. There is no replacement for assad as far as the russians are concerned. They just for assad as far as the russians are concerned. Theyjust have not found someone concerned. Theyjust have not found someone yet. But they would like to find someone . Quite possibly, it depends on the mood of Vladimir Putin. What do you think is going on in his mind . He now has a president in the white house who is willing and has done, to use force. That is the first shock for him, he had supposed that trump would be different from how he is at the moment. It is not that long ago that Rex Tillerson was talking about having to recognise that assad was there to stay. That was the implication. But that was under the supposition that assad was under some sort of russian control. Presumably, he is not. Alternatively, the russians are indifferent to the use of Chemical Weapons, when they had already promised barack 0bama that they would get rid of them. There is quite a lot of confusion. My point was that if the russians wished to preserve their current set of aims, they are going to end up with assad oi they are going to end up with assad or somebody from his grouping, they cannot easily switch sides unless they are going to change their strategy completely, which there is no sign of their wishing to do. How much control does moscow have of assad . If much control does moscow have of assad . If they made it clear, you do not use Chemical Weapons, do they have that kind of control . Yes, but it would not necessarily stop him doing it. You only have to have the right flight and fill it up with the right flight and fill it up with the right stuff. They have general control, but from assads control, he knows the russians have got to support him. It is a winwin for him . Ora support him. It is a winwin for him . Or a lose lose for everybody. Well, now we can talk to james reynolds, whos in rome. Are we likely to get a unified message from the g7 Foreign Ministers in the end of this meeting . I imagine we will get a unified statement, because it is not difficult for allies to agree on a statement. The question is whether oi statement. The question is whether or not it will have any substance to it or not. If it is simply another of those statements repeating the call for a negotiated transition in syria followed by a transition away from assad, we have seen those how many times are countless times. A Statement Like that would be barely worth the ink it was printed on. Some might want to go further, Iris Johnston has discussed sanctions against syria and Russian Military figures. We wait to see what the American Military policy might continue to be, but there will be a piece of paper in Rex Tillersons hand as he travels to moscow. Behind the scenes, there is not unity 100 on whether or not sanctions are the way forward. I think there is going to bea way forward. I think there is going to be a lot of hard questions towards the americans in this meeting. The other foreign towards the americans in this meeting. The otherForeign Ministers will say, you want us to support you on your trip to moscow, first of all, you need to explain exactly what your policy in syria is, because a lot of people are confused. Worthy strikes simply a one off, or the beginning of a policy . If so, how does america plan to fight both assad and his opponent, isis, at the same time, without getting involved in fights without getting involved in fights with russia and iran . Those other ministers will ask those questions before proceeding to the statement. This is bbc news at 5pm. The headlines. The funeral of Pc Keith Palmer, who was murdered in last months westminster attack, has taken place at Southwark Cathedral. Foreign ministers from the g7 nations have been trying to find a unified approach to tackling the syria conflict, after last weeks suspected Chemical Weapons attack.

Libor is the rate at which banks lend to each other, and that directly affects how much we all pay for our mortgages and loans. Now the bbc has uncovered a secret recording that implicates the Bank Of England in the rigging of the libor rate. The 2008 recording adds to evidence that the central bank repeatedly pressured commercial banks during the financial crisis to push their libor Interest Rates down. It was obtained by our economics correspondent andy verity for a panorama investigation. The Libor Scandal first blew up scandal blew up in 2012 in 2012, in 2012, when Barclays Boss bob diamond was forced to resign. Until recently, libor used to be set by a member of staff at the biggest banks, called a submitter, saying what Interest Rate they thought theyd have to pay to borrow money. An average was taken, called the London Inter Bank 0ffered rate, or liborfor short. It helped determine how much the banks pay to get hold of funds to lend, and therefore what we pay on mortgages and loans. It also gives an indication of how healthy financially the banks are. The submitters were meant to put in rates based only on their own genuine view of the market for borrowing and lending cash. Panorama has uncovered a phone call on october 29th 2008,
