England and Wales are being warned to expect hurricane force winds and | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
heavy rain tonight, and into Monday morning. Gusts of up to 80mph are | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
predicted, as a storm heading in from the Atlantic is due to hit the | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
South West and South Wales, before moving North and Eastwards. Some | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
ferry services have already been cancelled, while many rush hour | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
trains in the affected areas won't be operating in the morning, until | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
it is certain the routes are safe. We will have more on potential | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
transport problems in a moment, but first, we can go live to Cardiff | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Bay, one of the first places the storm is expected to hit, and join | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
our correspondent, Hywel Griffith. ??NEWLIN Let's get more | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
the South Wales coastline is in line to be hit by those gusts of 80 mph. | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
It has been blustery here today but nothing compared to what agencies | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
and authorities are preparing for. The Prime Minister David, and | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
chaired a conference today -- David Cameron chaired a conference today, | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
to make plans for the storm they are calling St Jude. | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
A taster of what tomorrow could bring, the southern coastlines were | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
battered this afternoon. In South Devon, there was too much wind for | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
this turbine. Some trees have fallen, but I could be much worse to | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
come. Over the Atlantic, the St Jude storm is gathering. Named after the | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
Patron Saint of Lost Causes, it is causing real concern. I am not going | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
out tomorrow. I am concerned, the reports indicate it will be bleak, | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
and today has been quite bad. I have locked the garage doors, all we can | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
do. Hope it will pass. I know it is coming but I am not prepared. | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
Councils across the country are having to gear up for a busy night. | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
Thousands of sandbags are on stand-by in case of flooding. They | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
have been told to prepare for stand-by in case of flooding. They | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
biggest operation in a decade. This stand-by in case of flooding. They | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
is the most prepared we have been in ten years, we have everything ready. | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
We have sandbags on the vehicles and we have the cleansing teams ready to | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
clean up, so we are prepared, but hopefully it does not hit us. | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
Whatever does, overnight, travelled to strip show is guaranteed for this | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
morning -- travel disruption is guaranteed for the morning. Very | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
crossings have been cancelled on the Irish Sea and English Channel and | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
some train services have been reduced. We do not expect to run | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
many if any train services in the morning because we will be checking | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
the roots are clear and clearing any trees. Some can relish these | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
conditions, but for most, now is a time to plan for a bumpy night | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
ahead. Emergency services have already | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
today been called interaction. Sussex police are searching for a | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
missing 14-year-old boy last seen swimming of the West Beach and New | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
Haven. People are being asked to show caution, it even if the wind | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
has not risen yet. It is expected to take force overnight so the advice | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
is for people not to make necessary -- unnecessary journeys and if | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
possible, to stay in their homes. Can get more on the potential | :04:39. | :04:47. | |
problems with the trains. -- we can. Our correspondent is that Waterloo, | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
what is the latest? If you are commuting to London or if | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
you travel to train across the South of England, expect a chaotic morning | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
rush-hour. Most major rail companies are predicting severe disruption. | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
South West Trains has advised has and is not to travel. Until they are | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
sure there are no obstructions on the line. If trains do go, they say | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
they will go no faster than 50 mph as a precaution. A similar story for | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
Southern trains, first capital, and the Gatwick Express, they all say | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
they are unlikely to run services in the morning rush-hour. Until they | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
are short there is nothing on the lines. It will not be a normal | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
Monday morning commute. The obvious advice is to check the website of | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
your train operator before you leave home. Thank you. | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
And the latest news on the weather and services that may be affected | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
can be found on the BBC News website. | :05:52. | :06:01. | |
There will be updates on BBC local radio as well. | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
A wave of car bombings in Iraq has killed more than fifty people and | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
wounded several others.There were 11 explosions in the capital, Baghdad, | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
in less than an hour. Sectarian violence between Shia and Sunni | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
Muslims is at its worse level in six years. From Baghdad, Ahmed Maher | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
reports. Bombers struck during the morning | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
rush hour in a series of coordinated blasts. Busy streets, markets, | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
residential areas were targeted. Among those killed in the attacks | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
across Iraq were people queueing to call -- to collect their wages. They | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
cannot drive through this area so how could a car bomb and go off? It | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
is a catastrophe what happens today. A child, a woman and a father, three | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
members of the same family have been killed. | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
The Barnes targeted mainly Shia areas stashed the bombs. The latest | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
violence in a country torn apart by conflict between Sunni Muslims and | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
Shia Muslims. Recently, the government has toughened security | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
measures. Checkpoints dividing the streets of Baghdad had been | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
strengthened, docks are patrolling the areas. There is no letup in | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
violence despite new security measures introduced by the | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
government. And the number of attacks has reached the highest | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
level since the peak of that clashes -- the clashes that killed tens of | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
thousands almost six years ago. The attacks today have heightened fears | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
that the country is sliding back towards another bloody sectarian | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
conflict. Scientists say they have uncovered | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
11 new genes which are linked to Alzheimer's, taking another step | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
towards finding a cure for the disease. Using data from ten of | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
thousands people across 15 countries, the breakthrough research | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
has been published in the Nature Genetic journal. Alzheimer's disease | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
is the most common cause of dementia, affecting nearly half a | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
million people in the UK. The BBC could have its licence fee | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
cut, the Tory Party Chairman has warned. Grant Shapps said the | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
Corporation needs to rebuild public trust and become more transparent. | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
In a statement, the BBC said transparency was key and so was | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
'freedom from political pressure'. The BBC's Royal Charter is due for | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
renewal in 2016. Our political correspondent, Alan Soady, reports. | :08:31. | :08:39. | |
Millions of people consume a slice of the BBC every day. But now there | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
are questions which go to the heart of the organisation 's future as | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
well as its President and its past. The BBC 's current boss Ward Hall is | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
asked I Grant Shapps to make the BBC more open and transparent -- water | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
hole. But the Conservative Party Chairman argues the Jimmy Savile | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
scandal happened in part because of a culture within the BBC against | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
scrutiny. He warns that greater openness is needed in future if the | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
licence fee is to continue in its current form. Some of his colleagues | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
agree. He has been expressing concerns and | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
saying this money, this funding needs to be better audited and be | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
more transparent. And the BBC should be more accountable to the public. | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
The editorial impartiality of the BBC is also questioned by Grant | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
Shapps who says the news coverage can show political bias, something | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
rejected by bit the BBC. -- by the BBC. He is firing a warning across | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
the BBC, what is not clear is the extent to which his views are shared | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
by those at the top of his party. There is a planned review of the | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
licence fee in 2016 and that will fall to whoever wins the next | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
general election. One former BBC Director-General is not surprised | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
either remarks. It is so predictable. I have been | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
waiting for it to happen. 18 months before an election. The government | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
decides to start pressurising the BBC and they say, if we win again, | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
we will take away your money, that is what they do. | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
The BBC says it is aware of the importance of transparency, but it | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
is vital the corporation is free from political pressure. | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
Syria has met an initial deadline to hand over detailed plans to destroy | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
its chemical weapons stockpile. The body inspecting chemical weapons has | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
until today to inspect all 23 sites declared by the Syrian government. | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
Syria then has until the middle of next year to completely destroy its | :10:42. | :10:50. | |
Arsenal. Now for the sport. | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
Good evening. Sunderland have one the Tyne Wear Derby, beating | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
Newcastle 2-1, with a late goal to get their first Premier League | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
victory of the season. And Chelsea 's Fernando Torres has given them a | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
2-1 win over Manchester City to move them up to second place. You know | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
winter is coming when the Premier League get out the high visibility | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
football, but winning the title will also be about standing out on the | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
gloomy nights. These teams are contenders which | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
Chelsea could do with Fernando Torres adjusting to the light. But | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
he channelled the embarrassment and left his opponent with a simple | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
finish. Manchester City were not a force until the second half. But | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
this surprised everyone. City lost concentration in the final minutes, | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
leaving the rest to that man, Fernando Torres. There is an almost | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
religious fervour about the north-east derby and Sunderland | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
presented the Pope with a shirt this week. But this goal was due to the | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
accuracy of the cross. The Stadium of light turned up the sound. The | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
manager 's mood darkened after the rake, with this goal. The weather | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
changed and so it seemed had the fortunes. Sunderland sent on another | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
player and the 22-year-old Italian catapulted himself into Wearside | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
folklore. This was their first league win at it seemed like more | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
than just one win. -- what it seemed. | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
Swansea and West Ham played out a goalless draw. | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
Celtic have extended their lead at the top of the Scottish Premier | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
League to six points with a 2-1 victory over Partick this'll. The | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
substitute scored the winner with 15 minutes remaining. St Johnstone also | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
won today, beating Motherwell 2-1. Sebastian Vettel said it was one of | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
the best days of his life, the 26-year-old won the Indian Grand | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
Prix to claim a fourth Grand Prix championship and take a special | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
place in history. Who can blame Sebastian Vettel for acting like a | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
boy racer? After clinching his fourth world title in a row, it was | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
time to celebrate. Victory was always on the cards in | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
India and he won the two previous races held here. He started from | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
pole position and came under the pressure from the start but he kept | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
the lead. The only man who could stop him was Fernando Alonso, but | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
the Spaniard was doomed from the start, losing part of his front wing | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
and bumping into Jenson button like if background dodgem car. He slipped | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
out, meaning Sebastian Vettel did not have to finish to become | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
champion. But the German wanted to win in style after his first pit | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
stop saw him slipping down the order, he charged his Red Bull | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
through the field, moving up to second with a third of the race | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
gone. Sebastian Vettel inherited the lead from his team-mate Mark Webber | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
and he won by almost 30 seconds. Fantastic, you are a four-time World | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
Champion! Yes, yes! One of the best days of my life so far. When I was | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
small, I tried to think where I started and Formula 1 more so far | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
away. He is the third man to win four | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
championships in a row but you get the impression he will not rest | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
until he becomes the most successful driver the sport has ever seen! That | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
is all for the sport. There is more throughout the evening | :14:33. | :14:34. |
