Hello, good afternoon. The nephew of Jimmy Savile has spoken of his | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
family's turmoil over allegations of sexual abuse surrounding the | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
late television presenter and DJ. Roger Foster said the claims had | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
overwhelmed his family and made it difficult for them to reconcile | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
their image of a man who did so much for charity with one who | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
committed what he has called indecent criminal acts. The | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
statement referred to how the family became aware of the | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
programme that was being made, with allegations of a darker side that | :00:42. | :00:52. | |
:00:52. | :00:57. | ||
Ben Geoghegan is with me now in the studio. What more of a saint in the | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
statement? The statement sets out the family's shock and disbelief | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
and echoes the reaction around the country as these allegations have | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
surfaced about Jimmy Savile. He goes on to say how the allegations | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
have overwhelmed his family and he asked the question, how could | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
anyone live their life doing the most good at and the most evil at | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
the same time? He also talks about Savile's victims, Zane their own | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
despair and sadness does not compare to that felt by the victims, | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
and we offer our deepest sympathy in what must be a terrible time for | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
all of them. He ends with a question, where will this all end? | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
Our feelings are in turmoil as we await each turn of events. And one | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
of those events today, the Catholic Church in England and Wales has | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
written to the Pope to see whether his papal knighthood can be revoked. | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
He was given that by Pope John Paul II in 1994 for his charity work, | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
but the Archbishop of Westminster, the head of the change in England | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
and Wales, has written to the Vatican, asking whether it can be | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
annulled. It is not clear whether there is a procedure for taking his | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
name off that list, but the Church has had to deal with its own sex | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
abuse scandals and clearly wants to make a gesture towards Jimmy | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
Savile's victims, whom the Church has described as being in deep | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
distress because of all of this. Women who quit smoking by the age | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
of 30 will almost completely avoid the risks of dying early from | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
tobacco-related diseases. The study in the Lancet looked at more than | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
one million women in the UK and qualifies for the first time the | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
benefits of stopping smoking at different stages of life. Health | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
correspondent Branwen Jeffreys reports how it also found that | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
lifelong smokers lost around 10 years from their lifespan. | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
Angela took up smoking at the age of 11, so giving up when she was 20 | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
it was tough, and she got advice and nicotine substitutes from a | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
local NHS, but it also took a lot of willpower. Today's research | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
shows that by giving up while she is still young, she should live as | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
long as a non-smoker, and she is already feeling healthier. It is | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
amazing, I can feel it already, it is great, being able to breathe | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
again, you know. If I have a night out, I wake up in the morning, I | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
used to be wheezing, but I have got my sense of smell back, which is | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
like a whole new sensory experience for me. I did not realise that I | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
could not really smell anything. was in the 1950s that British women | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
took up smoking in large numbers. Now, by following that generation, | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
researchers have been able to measure the impact. Using | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
information from more than one million women, the study in the | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
Lancet compares smokers and non- smokers. On average, female smokers | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
died 10 years earlier than non- smokers. Stopping smoking by the | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
age of 40 meant they died just one year before non-smokers. And | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
stopping by 30 meant almost all of the extra risk was avoided. | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
found that if women smoked like men, they died like men. Half of the | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
people who keep on smoking will be killed by tobacco, but if you stop | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
early enough, you avoid most of that risk. This study shows that if | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
you give up young, you will live longer, but smoking is so damaging | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
that there are other reasons to quit sooner, not later. It | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
prematurely ages in and makes it harder for women to get pregnant. - | :04:30. | :04:32. | |

showers across the eastern side of Britain with winds gusting up to 50 | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
mph. Snow fell on Newcastle overnight, creating difficult | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
driving conditions. More than one million tonnes of salt has been set | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
aside by councils in England and Wales to cope with icy roads this | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
window. Preparations are being made in | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
several states as Tropical Storm Sandy approaches the east coast of | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
America. The US National weather Service downgraded it from a | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
hurricane this morning, but it is still expected to cause major | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
disruption when it hits next week. At least 40 people are reported to | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
have been killed when the storm passed over the Caribbean. | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
The second day of the ceasefire in Syria has been violated by the | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
explosion of a car bomb in the City of their resort. A temporary four- | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
day truce had been called to mark a Muslim holiday. The opposition | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
claimed that these army has been shelling Damascus, Deraa and Aleppo. | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
Activists say more than 150 people had been killed since the ceasefire | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
began. James Reynolds is in Turkey, bordering Syria. What is the latest | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
you are hearing? I think it is very clear now that the holiday | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
ceasefire has not taken hold. We have been getting opposition | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
reports that the government has fired mortars in suburbs of | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
Damascus and also in Syria's largest city, Aleppo, in the north, | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
and there were reports on state television of a car-bomb attack in | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
Deir ez-Zor, an eastern city. It may be that the ceasefire plan was | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
more of a prayer than a potential plan itself, and it may be that the | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
two sides still think that each can win by force alone. Syria because | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
it has warplanes and support from Russia, and the opposition because | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
it gets guns from abroad and because it has popular support | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
inside the country. It may indeed be that this holiday ceasefire ends | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
in nothing. James, thank you. The Environment | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
Secretary has confirmed that a ban on the import of ash trees will | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
come into force on Monday. The deadly disease Charlara fraxinea | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
fungus was found in the natural environment in the East Anglia. It | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
has already come 90% of the species in Denmark in seven years and | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
imports have been blamed for spreading to the UK. The next news | :06:50. | :07:00. | |

I'm Louisa Preston. Traders in East London say that parking | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
restrictions are ruining their businesses. They claim the | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
increased number of controlled parking zones across the capital | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
means it is harder for people to shop on their local high streets. | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
But councils say they are necessary and that residents want them. | :07:21. | :07:31. | |
Angela Walker went to Leyton to find out more. Top left is my | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
father, top right is my grandmother... This fishmonger's | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
has been in the family for five generations. Now the owners say its | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
future is under threat because of parking restrictions. We have not | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
controlled parking zones, with all the little side turnings that used | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
to have parking areas. Now you have got to my silly little scratchcard | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
tickets, if you spend five minutes in an area to do a bit of shopping. | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
People won't do it! When the council says, we are doing our best | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
for local businesses, they are not. This has been in his family for | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
eight years. Now it is closing. have survived the Great Depression, | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
world wars, the recession in the 1980s. Unfortunately, we are not | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
good to last any longer. Any time the parking restrictions are | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
increased, food for Fort off. The fees went up 60% earlier this year, | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
and the castles as they tried to help the local community. This will | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
shock has been here for 23 years. This is going to be a very | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
difficult year. I do not know how much longer we can carry on. | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
Federation of Small Businesses says many of its London members say that | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
parking has a negative impact on them. They are asking the leaders | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
of London's councils to rethink their policies, but Waltham Forest | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
insists residents want controlled parking zones. If you ever want to | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
do Controlled Parking, you have to discuss it with people, and local | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
residents wanted that, it is something that was very popular | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
because it is such a dense area. the south end of the high road, it | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
is another story. The council has given shopfronts in a facelift and | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
tidied up the pavements, but there is parking at a nearby superstore. | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
The whole shop looks more attractive and eye-catching. So | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
passing trade has increased dramatically. Waltham Forest | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
council say they are planning to spend �3 million on Leyton High | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
Road, but for shops like this one it is too little, too late. | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
The Conservative MP Richard Ottaway has announced he will stand down | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
from Parliament at the next general election. The 67-year-old has | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
represented Croydon South since 1992. He had a majority of over | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
15,000 votes at the last election. A man has been paid almost �200 by | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
a company for wasting his time with cold calls. Richard Herman from | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
Sunbury-on-Thames in Surrey billed the company for his time when they | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
continually called him about claming payment protection | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
compensation. The Olympic rower Alex Partridge, | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
from Henley on Thames, has issued a new plea for the return of his | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
stolen medal after Team GB hockey player Hannah MacLeod got hers back. | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
Both Olympians lost their medals when their Team GB jackets were | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
stolen as they partied at a London nightclub in the early hours of | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
Wednesday. Right, let's take a look at this afternoon's weather, it | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
will remain cold with strong northerly winds and the odd shower. | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
Top temperature of eight degrees celcius. Tonight should remain dry | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
with some cloud developing in the early hours of Sunday morning. | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
That's it, I'll be back at 5.30pm. Until then have a lovely afternoon, | :10:44. | :10:54. | |
:10:54. | :11:05. | ||
Hello. The week that has just gone by, many of us will have seen | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
barely a single ray of sunshine, but a change today as brisk | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
northerly winds have blown away murky weather and given us some | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
sunshine, but with some cold air coming from the Arctic, you will | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
notice that if you are not been outside already, it feels freezing | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
cold, and these northerly winds are also bringing plenty of showers. | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
Overnight we had some snow showers across the north-east of Scotland, | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
north-eastern parts of England, giving a covering of snow in places. | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
Further showers will affect eastern England through the afternoon, and | :11:34. | :11:44. | |
some will fall as Hale, a mixture of rain elsewhere. That is | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
associated with rain in the higher parts of the atmosphere. A spell of | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
snow in the mountains, but to the eastern side of Scotland we will | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
hold on to dry and bright weather, bar some isolated showers in | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
Aberdeenshire. Cloudy weather across the north coast of Northern | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
Ireland, sinking southwards, but staying largely dry and a later. | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
Light showers affecting eastern parts of England, where we already | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
have released on winds up to 50 mph. If you are watching the football, | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
Arsenal versus QPR, it is a case of wrapping up warm, because it will | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
feel colder than the seven degrees on the thermometer. Her overnight, | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
outbreaks of rain will trickle eastwards from Scotland and | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
Northern Ireland, initially the rain falling pretty patchily, but | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
it will turn persistent as the night progresses. Perhaps an early | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
nipper frost the cost eastern England before the milder air | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
begins to arrive. For Sunday, what a contrast in the forecast, | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
generally cloudy, westerly or south-westerly winds blowing in | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
thick cloud and rain for many of us. A few limited bright interludes, | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
temperatures a couple of degrees higher on the thermometer, but not | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
feeling a great deal different because it will still be breezy and | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
there will not be a lot of sunshine. Through Sunday night, the weather | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
system brings rain southwards across England, lingering for the | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
first part of Monday, so a damp start to the day in London, but | :13:10. | :13:16. |
