That compares with £1,064m in July. Other figures show manufacturing output rose slightly in September - up 0.4% from a 0.6% fall in August. A BBC correspondent says the figures will be a pre-Budget boost for the Chancellor and will make it easier for Kenneth Clarke to present plans for increasing tax.  Homj 110 Politics 130 World 160 Next News World Flash TV/Radio

The five-year-old from Greater Manchester died in a US hospital yesterday after a life-long battle against a rare bowel disorder. The family has rebutted criticism that prolonging Laura's life with such relatively untried surgery had caused her unnecessary suffering. Thosj critics have not been in our position, Laura's grandfather said.  Next News Diary Flash CityHeads

Military authorities said it was an attempt to prevent more separatists from reaching a military complex which they over-ran yesterday. But a BBC correspondent says the area under aerial attack is densely populated and can only be an act of retaliation for yesterday's attack. Hundreds of servicemen are still trapped at the navy base where 200 people are reported to have died.  Next News Home News Politics Sport

The Alliance, which had a three- hour meeting with the government today, is expected to give its response to the ideas on Monday. The group seeks vast regional autonomy in a post-apartheid South Africa and has made a point of boycotting multiparty talks. It has threatened to boycott next April's non-racial elections.  Next News Home News Politics Sport
