And in the next hour we'll take a look at this morning's front | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
The Telegraph suggests the Prime Minister plans to launch | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Good morning and welcome to BBC News. | :00:41. | :01:06. | |
People living in areas affected by fracking could be paid | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
a share of the money raised from the process. | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
It's one of several options outlined in a Government consultation | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
Opponents of extracting shale gas by fracking are concerned it | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
could lead to increased pollution and disruption for local people. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
The Government says it will provide jobs and greater energy security. | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
With me now is Theo Leggett our Business news reporter. | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
The Government has already floated the idea that the proceeds could be | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
shared with local communities. Some of the tax intake to be given to | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
local councils and community groups. What the reason may is doing is | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
going a bit further than that and saying that payments could be made | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
directly to individual households. If you live in an area where | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
fracking is going on you would receive a cheque. The Government has | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
not said how much it will be, but it could be ?10 million power | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
community. It could be several thousand pounds. The idea is to | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
deflate protests against fracking. Yes. Community is concerned about | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
pollution and all that kind of thing. The Government has said it | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
will be compensation for destruction. Environmental groups | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
take a rather different approach. You can imagine that people will | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
think it is a brave and if you are prepared to have all the pollution | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
and destruction in your backyard. Absolutely. Some people I have | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
spoken to this morning have used exactly those words. The Government | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
see it as compensation. Environmental groups say there is | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
very, very strong opposition to fracking within these communities | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
and they don't think that the promise of EQ thousand pounds, it's | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
not even a promise, the prospect will not make a lot of difference. | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
It is a very interesting idea. We know that huge infrastructure | :03:05. | :03:14. | |
projects, Heathrow's extension or any other big projects like that, it | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
does run into a lots of local opposition. And if you can see the | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
local people, here are the benefits. You could get some money and that | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
might change the whole planning structure in this, too. The | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
Government have made it clear that if this works with fracking it could | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
be extended to other Government priorities. That could include the | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
third runway at Heathrow. Large-scale projects which need | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
community backing and where that backing is not there at the moment. | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
Nickel Dreams thank you, Theo. On the line is Lorraine Allanson | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
from FORGE, Friends of Ryedale Gas Exploration | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
a pro-fracking group Lorraine, what are your thoughts? | :03:56. | :04:06. | |
Think it is very exciting that they have thought about contributing to | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
families in the area and people less well off. It will benefit them, not | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
just the gas company. I think it was a wise step by the reason may. The | :04:18. | :04:27. | |
communities will benefit. Any disruption that happens when they | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
come to drill is very temporary, so in the long run the Wales do their | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
job silently. You don't even know it is there. It will be a major boost | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
to rule economy is. I think it is fantastic. Nickel Dreams what you | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
make of the argument that we will hear that you will be braked in | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
order to put up with it? You have heard all the arguments. Yes, I have | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
heard all the arguments. They do a lot of scaremongering. A lot of it | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
is not true. It isn't that it can be done very safely and quietly. There | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
is a little bit of destruction initially, but we are not all going | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
to be poisoned by it. Lives will not be ruined. They use a doomsday | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
scenario. We do need the gas. They are shutting lots of other nuclear | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
plants and call plants down. Why don't we use our own gas? There is | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
probably many decades worth of gas there. It can work very well in | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
conjunction with renewables. Gas is very quick to bring online when the | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
wind stops blowing and the sun is up shining. It is perfect. What do your | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
neighbours think of you being so much in favour of it? Presumably | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
some people are equally against it in your area. Absolutely. I'm | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
looking at the practicalities of it, the benefits that it would bring to | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
the area and to our country. It is not just about communities, it is | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
about our county and country. The north of England desperately needs | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
something like this economically. It could bring an industry that would | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
be discreet. It will not ruin farming or tourism as the | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
anti-fracking protesters claim. A senior Conservative has said | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
the Remain campaign made a terrible mistake, by not discussing | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
immigration during the referendum. Former Business Minister Anna | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
Soubry, who wanted the UK to stay in the EU, said concerns raised | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
about the campaign's She was speaking during a BBC | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
documentary about the Our Political Correspondent Alex | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
Forsyth's report contains The vote to leave the EU was a shock | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
to some and prompted questions about what went wrong | :06:57. | :07:05. | |
in the Remain campaign. One senior Tory, who backs Remain, | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
has said it was a terrible mistake not to talk about | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
immigration and claimed concerns One of my colleagues had said | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
that they were very worried that it was all Project Fear | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
and there That was dismissed and I said, | :07:25. | :07:25. | |
on two occasions, I'm really worried about | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
the Labour vote. It was, yeah, whatever. | :07:30. | :07:30. | |
It wasn't taken seriously. Jeremy Corbyn's efforts | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
were described as lukewarm, with one Labour peer saying he damaged | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
the Remain campaign. Not only was he most of the time | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
absent from the battle, but he was holding back | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
the efforts of Alan Johnson They felt undermined, | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
at times they felt actually their Jeremy Corbyn's team | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
said he did make Labour's case for remaining | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
In and reforming the EU. I think that all leading | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
members of the Labour Party were out actively campaigning | :08:05. | :08:13. | |
and Jeremy played his part in their By doing a lot of media | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
appearances, a lot of meetings He played his part and we | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
all played our part. Whatever the reasons, vote Leave | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
were victorious and the UK is still And you can see the full documentary | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
Brexit: The Battle For Britain With me now is political | :08:30. | :08:38. | |
correspondent Chris Mason. There are clues as to who leaked the | :08:39. | :08:56. | |
story the Queen is backing Brexit. It is a great documentary. It is a | :08:57. | :09:04. | |
reminder if we don't need it about what a huge decision it was. There | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
is a little detail about this whole row about a Sun front page in the | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
middle of the campaign. It said that the Queen backs Brexit. As soon as | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
the headline appeared there was a huge amount of controversy about how | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
it emerged and who the sources were. The documentary suggests that it was | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
the former Justice Secretary, Michael Gove. That is suggested by | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
Nick Clegg. Michael Gove was asked about this way back during the | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
campaign. He said he didn't know how the Sun had got hold of its | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
information. He insisted he wasn't a source to the newspaper. The Sun has | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
run into a bit of trouble from the press regulators and that headline | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
appeared. Just an insight I guess, that headline like so many, at how | :09:59. | :10:08. | |
keenly fought it was. One of the themes of the documentary is that | :10:09. | :10:17. | |
Jeremy Corbyn didn't do enough. Clearly there was a huge amount of | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
concern within the remain campaign that they were just struggling to | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
get Labour's vote out for the name. During the campaign it was suggested | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
that lots of lifelong Labour voters did not know what Labour's view was | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
in the referendum campaign. Criticism of Jeremy Corbyn is pretty | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
frequent, but on this topic of the referendum cropped up again and | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
again in this documentary. The executive director of the In | :10:49. | :10:58. | |
campaign was once a former Labour Cabinet candidate and said that | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
first six months he tried to get a meeting with one of Jeremy Corbyn | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
prospect team and couldn't even get a meeting. He felt let down by | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
Jeremy Corbyn. Lord Mandelson felt that Jeremy Corbyn had sabotaged the | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
in campaign and is on show any zeal or passion for it. Those who defend | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
Jeremy Corbyn make the argument that his outlook on the European Union | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
was authentic. He went on a Channel 4 talk show and was asked on a scale | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
of one to ten how much he liked the EU anti-said seven or 7.5. That was | :11:32. | :11:41. | |
his legitimate view. That was the centre of this feeling. It was no | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
stronger than that. There were some within the remain campaign who | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
believe he was exaggerating his view there. He denies that. BBC Two | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
tomorrow night at 9pm. Day one of the Rio olympics, | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
and Britain already has Swimmer Adam Peaty won his 100 metre | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
breaststroke heat in record time. But on an emotional first day, | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
there was also disappointment, as some of Team GB's brightest medal | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
hopes failed in their bid With a look at the highs | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
and lows, here's Adam Wild. in Rio, as with all Olympics, | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
a beginning full of hope With Adam Peaty in the pool, | :12:17. | :12:26. | |

but already he was swimming faster than anyone | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
has ever done before. COMMENTATOR: This is | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
going to be outstanding! Peaty will have to wait | :12:39. | :12:39. | |
until tomorrow for his For others, the chance | :12:40. | :12:44. | |

on the opening day lay with Hannah Missing out by 15 | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
hundredths of a second. It's just hard, | :13:04. | :13:14. | |
because it's so close. I was so close to getting out and, | :13:15. | :13:24. | |
yeah, it's just ten of happy and disappointment | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
all coming together. Cycling is one of Great Britain's | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
great success stories. Chris Froome Tour de | :13:31. | :13:42. | |
France champion, amongst those carrying British | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
hopes in the road race. From the Copacabana | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
to the cobbles and chaos, this ride | :13:47. | :13:47. | |
would be anything but smooth. COMMENTATOR: Oh, we've got | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
a rider gone off there. Some didn't even make | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
it to the hills. The course described | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
by Chris Froome as savage, | :13:56. | :13:56. | |
was proving a little too much - even for some | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
of the sports's very best. This downhill was becoming | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
the downfall of medal Amongst them, Britain's | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
Geraint Thomas. His chances left | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
on the Rio roadside. Rafal Majka of Poland, | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
But with the finish line almost in sight, | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
the Belgian's Greg Van Avermaet | :14:17. | :14:17. | |
taking the gold. If the cycling was disappointing | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
for Team GB, then words almost too hard to find | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
for Ashley McKenzie. Kept for triumph, the Commonwealth | :14:26. | :14:27. | |
judo champion was Unfortunately, in judo | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
you only get one chance. I think it's just two years of hard | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
work over four years. Putting my family through stuff, | :14:38. | :14:47. | |
it's just a hard sport, really. McKenzie's dream over, | :14:48. | :14:49. | |
others too were finding there's Turbulent waters at the Stadium | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
provided the most public Olympic dreams are never meant | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
to end quite like this. But for every failure, | :14:57. | :15:07. | |
there is always success. The first gold of the games came | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
in the ten metre air rifle. Won by the evocatively | :15:10. | :15:17. | |
named Virginia Thrasher. A remarkable achievement | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
for this American teenager. The first day providing | :15:20. | :15:20. | |
plenty of firsts. Rugby sevens introduced | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
to the Olympics for the first time. Britain's women comfortable winners | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
over hosts Brazil and then Japan. A medal for them is | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
surely a possibility. There are those for whom just | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
competing is a triumph. William Fox-Pitt was left | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
in a coma after a fall Now he leads the field | :15:39. | :15:40. | |
after the opening A triumph to be there, | :15:41. | :15:49. | |
but he will now hope for much more. So, no medals for Team GB as day one | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
came to a close, but there remains plenty | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
to suggest it won't stay like Kenya's anti-doping agency | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
says it will investigate new allegations that have emerged | :16:02. | :16:09. | |

to compete when she swims It was really amazing. I was really | :17:20. | :17:34. | |
happy. It was hard, but I was happy. Do you wonder what you could do if | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
you could get access to a swimming pool more in the future? Yes, we | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
have got to work more. I think we have to work. We have to increase | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
the level more. Then I could achieve a medal. How has the attention been? | :17:51. | :17:57. | |

this is a crippled democracy, a democracy in which elected | :20:22. | :20:23. | |
governments would have They would be forced to follow | :20:24. | :20:25. | |
the military's reform programme In the military's view, | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
in the eyes of its supporters, many people believe in what it is doing, | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
this is a way they can stabilise Thai politics and avoid the | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
protracted conflicts of the past. We do not have much of an idea | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
what Thai people think, partly because there has been | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
almost no campaigning, the military has outlawed | :20:48. | :20:49. | |
campaigning and jailed people who have campaigned | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
against the constitution. So ordinary Thais do not know much | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
about the constitution and are likely to vote very much | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
on their feelings about the military, whether they think | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
they have been doing a good job in their two years in power | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
or whether they are opposed, but opinion polls have been very | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
unclear before the referendum. We are very much in the dark | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
as to how this is going to go. The family of an Iranian nuclear | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
scientist, detained since 2010, Shahram Amiri had flown back | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
from the United States He was later accused of working | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
with Western intelligence agencies. This was Shahram Amiri in 2010, | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
returning from the US. But what he was doing in America | :21:33. | :21:42. | |
in the first place has remained a mystery right up | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
to his apparent death. His mother has told the BBC his body | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
has been sent to their home town with rope marks around his neck, | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
showing he had been hanged. At the time of his return, | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
Mr Amiri denied defecting to the US, I totally trusted the Islamic | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
Republic, and the republic was confident I was not | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
defecting to the US. They were seriously | :22:08. | :22:09. | |
following up my abduction. The mutual trust became | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
stronger and stronger. It was in 2009 that Mr Amiri went | :22:13. | :22:23. | |
on a pilgrimage to Mecca and then A year later, he appeared in social | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
media videos denying he had defected to the US, | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
and that he was hiding from the CIA. In July 2010, he finally returned | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
to his home country. Five years later, his family | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
revealed he had ended Since that publicity | :22:38. | :22:39. | |
surrounding his return to Iran in 2010, very little is known | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
about what happened next to Shahram Iranian authorities gave no clues | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
as to why he ended up in prison, and that gap in information has now | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
led to speculation on social media as to the timing | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
of his apparent execution. The US State Department has long | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
claimed Mr Amiri freely defected and provided useful information | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
about Iran's nuclear programme. In recent months, US media reported | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
how e-mails released by the State Department | :23:14. | :23:15. | |
from that time appeared We learn that on the one | :23:16. | :23:17. | |
hand his parents were pressuring him to return to Iran | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
because their situation was They were threatened with death | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
according to his mother. But publicly, the regime | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
was treating him as a hero. Last year, Mr Amiri's | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
parents publicly appealed for compassion for their son, | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
a plea that now seems Two of Turkey's main opposition | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
parties will be taking part in a rally along | :23:46. | :23:56. | |
with the Turkish President to protest against the | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
recent attempted coup. Bethany Bell has been speaking | :23:59. | :24:00. | |
to one man who has been on the streets of Istanbul almost | :24:01. | :24:02. | |
every night since This is the police station | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
in a district of Istanbul which is a stronghold of President | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
Erdogan. I have come here to meet | :24:10. | :24:11. | |
a graduate student who came here on the night of the coup | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
to protect this building. He has been taking part | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
in democracy rallies ever since. We come here to defend this building | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
because coup plotters were attacking police departments so we came | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
to protect the police department. Since that night, we were in trauma, | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
as a Turkish people, but we believe in our people, | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
our nation, and we We are still defending democracy | :24:38. | :24:39. | |
on the streets at night. We are doing manifestations, | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
attending meetings, to show our support, | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
solidarity with Turkish democracy. There have been lots of rallies | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
protesting against the coup since then and you have | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
been at lots of them. In the daytime, they cannot | :24:57. | :24:58. | |
imagine to do such a coup. All coups happen at night | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
when people are sleeping. But since the 15th of July, | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
people are not sleeping at nights, or even if they go to sleep, | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
they sleep on the streets, they keep watch on the streets, | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
for independence and democracy. We are not going to allow any coup | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
attempts any more in our country. We do not want to be | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
like Egypt or other countries, Thousands of people have been | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
arrested, tens of thousands of people have been fired | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
or suspended from their jobs. Are you concerned about the extent | :25:37. | :25:38. | |
of the purges? When a coup occurs it | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
is not only the army, they have their accomplices | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
in the judiciary, coup plotters and accomplices in every | :25:46. | :25:47. | |
single state institution. They infiltrated every single state | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
organism so we need to remove them. Everywhere you go in Istanbul | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
there are flags and posters These rallies are intended as a sign | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
of unity in a time of uncertainty. Hundreds of thousands | :26:00. | :26:16. | |
of Rio's poorest people live in shanty towns or favelas, | :26:17. | :26:18. | |
basic housing that rises up into the mountains | :26:19. | :26:20. | |
of the Olympic city. And one of their residents | :26:21. | :26:22. | |
is a trumpet-playing Englishman. Inspired by Brazilian music, | :26:23. | :26:24. | |
he says Rio's samba beat reminds him Forget Wembley or the Maracana | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
Stadium, I reckon that this is the best spot in the world | :26:28. | :26:38. | |
to be playing football. High up in the hills, with views | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
overlooking the city of Rio. Football is in the DNA of Brazilian | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
kids, but there is something even MUSIC: "When The Saints Go Marching | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
In". What does a man from Doncaster | :26:49. | :27:19. | |
do ending up in one Well, there is a link, | :27:20. | :27:21. | |
because Doncaster has got lots of music going on, | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
a great jazz programme there. I eventually came to Rio | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
to check it out first hand. Rio is a really important | :27:30. | :27:38. | |
town for music. It is very sad that there | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
are problems with Poor children do not get the chance | :27:42. | :27:43. | |
to play wind instruments, they do not get the chance | :27:44. | :27:50. | |
to learn to read music. There is no kind of system | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
of musical education in the schools. I really want to do something | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
about that, for at least A new statue of the late actress | :27:58. | :28:00. | |
and comedian Lucille Ball has been unveiled in her home town, | :28:01. | :28:17. | |
to replace this bronze statue that was so hated by her fans | :28:18. | :28:19. | |
it was referred to as "Scary Lucy". A new artist, Carolyn Palmer, | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
was commissioned and this is what she produced | :28:24. | :28:25. | |
for the residents of Celoron, Lucille Ball's | :28:26. | :28:27. | |
home town in New York. There we are. Let's have a look at | :28:28. | :28:42. | |
the weather. Good morning. A dull skies through | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
my front door. I have a more cheery severe behind me. This is how | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
England and Wales will eventually shape up. I acknowledge it is | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
nothing like that across northern and western parts of Scotland and | :28:56. | :28:58. | |
Northern Ireland were the main feature of the weather is the | :28:59. | :29:01. | |
strength of the winds. We are portraying that by the ice bars. 50, | :29:02. | :29:08. | |
50 five miles per hour gusts that low levels. In the afternoon, in | :29:09. | :29:11. | |
comes the rain for Northern Ireland and the West of Scotland. By that | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
stage, the weather front in the size which is providing you with cloud | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
and drizzle at the moment goes away. Watch out for the wind and rain | :29:21. | :29:26. | |
overnight. If you're on the move, thinking about hill walking and | :29:27. | :29:30. | |
stuff today, I would watch out. Those weather fronts come down. | :29:31. | :29:37. | |
12-15. Not as close as last night. Once the weather fronts are way, the | :29:38. | :29:42. | |
winds begin to ease off. The direction is crucial, from the | :29:43. | :29:46. | |
north-west. It will be a fresher feel. There will be some showers, | :29:47. | :29:52. | |
but again, lots of fine and dry weather. | :29:53. | :30:18. | |

Coming up in a few minutes our Sunday morning | :31:15. | :31:23. | |
edition of The Papers - this mornings reviewers | :31:24. | :31:24. | |
are Political Commentator Vincent Moss and Prashant Rao | :31:25. | :31:27. | |
from the International New York Times. | :31:28. | :31:37. | |
Before The Papers, sport and for a full round-up | :31:38. | :31:39. | |
He's tipped to be Britain's, first male Olympic swimming | :31:40. | :31:45. | |
champion, since Adrian Moorhouse in 1988, and what an impact he's | :31:46. | :31:48. | |
Adam Peaty, broke his own world record, for the 100 metres | :31:49. | :31:54. | |
His time of, 57.55 seconds, was quicker than his previous best, | :31:55. | :31:57. | |
He later won his semi final with the second | :31:58. | :32:05. | |
He's already the World, European and Commonwealth champion, | :32:06. | :32:08. | |
and it seems the Olympic gold medal is his, for the taking. | :32:09. | :32:24. | |
Tomorrow I will hopefully move on a bit more. I want to save myself | :32:25. | :32:34. | |
that. So many people congratulating me there. | :32:35. | :32:37. | |
In the evening's finals, it was oh so close, | :32:38. | :32:40. | |
James Guy and Max Litchfield, just finished outside the medals, | :32:41. | :32:43. | |
as did, Hannah Miley, fifteen hundredths of a second, away | :32:44. | :32:46. | |
from winning a bronze, in the 400 metres, individual medley. | :32:47. | :32:56. | |
I had nothing left. I gave that everything I had. It is a mixture of | :32:57. | :33:06. | |
emotions. I did better than I did in London, but it's hard because it was | :33:07. | :33:10. | |
just so close. I was so close to getting it. I'm happy and | :33:11. | :33:16. | |
disappointed all at the same time. There was once again disappointment | :33:17. | :33:21. | |
for the British cyclists in the Olympic men's road race, | :33:22. | :33:23. | |
in what proved to be a thrilling, Tour de France winner | :33:24. | :33:26. | |
Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas, But the course proved too | :33:27. | :33:29. | |
challenging for many, and several riders including | :33:30. | :33:33. | |
Thomas crashed. Belgium's Greg Van Averm-art, | :33:34. | :33:35. | |
won a sprint finish In judo, Ashley McKenzie had been | :33:36. | :33:37. | |
tipped by many to win a medal, After winning his opener easily, | :33:38. | :33:45. | |
there was heartbreak for him, He went down by a single yuko point, | :33:46. | :33:50. | |
to the 2015 World Champion Yeldoes Added the best that I could. We came | :33:51. | :34:15. | |
here to get gold, we didn't come to participate. It's my second Olympics | :34:16. | :34:20. | |
and now I need to wait for another four years not knowing if I have | :34:21. | :34:24. | |
funding or not. British judo want me to move and I probably don't want | :34:25. | :34:26. | |
to. Britain's women, made | :34:27. | :34:27. | |
an impressive start, They beat Australia, | :34:28. | :34:28. | |
by two goals to one, in their opening match in the early | :34:29. | :34:32. | |
hours of this morning. Alex Danson scoring the winner | :34:33. | :34:34. | |
in the third quarter. But the men didn't fare so well, | :34:35. | :34:36. | |
they lost their first Rugby Sevens made its debut | :34:37. | :34:39. | |
at an Olympics, and it was a good They won, both their matches, | :34:40. | :34:44. | |
first against the hosts Brazil and then beat Japan, | :34:45. | :34:48. | |
with ease, running out winners, Britain's, William Fox-Pitt, made | :34:49. | :34:50. | |
an emotional return to the Olympics, to lead the individual, | :34:51. | :34:57. | |
eventing competition, just months after suffering an injury, | :34:58. | :34:58. | |
in a cross-country race, Fox-Pitt was riding, | :34:59. | :35:00. | |
on Chilli Morning, He's a multi-event winner, | :35:01. | :35:04. | |
and was part of the British team, that took silver in the team | :35:05. | :35:07. | |
eventing, at London 2012, but he was taken to hospital, | :35:08. | :35:10. | |
with head trauma after falling It was a much better story for him, | :35:11. | :35:12. | |
on day one though, he posted the best score of the day, | :35:13. | :35:17. | |
to put him top of the individual standings, and putting Britain | :35:18. | :35:20. | |
in a great position, with two more riders | :35:21. | :35:22. | |
to perform today. It's been a promising start by | :35:23. | :35:33. | |
Britain's gymnasts. The men | :35:34. | :35:35. | |
reached tomorrow's Olympic team final, with an impressive | :35:36. | :35:37. | |
display in qualification. They were fifth overall, | :35:38. | :35:38. | |
while Max Whitlock. Nile Wilson, qualified | :35:39. | :35:40. | |
for the individual, One of the highlights of the first | :35:41. | :35:41. | |
day, was Wilson's exceptional display on the high bars, | :35:42. | :35:45. | |
to qualify in second place, Heather Watson and Kyle Edmund, | :35:46. | :35:56. | |
ensured Great Britain's tennis campaign got off to a positive | :35:57. | :36:00. | |
start in Rio. Watson beat China's, | :36:01. | :36:02. | |
Peng Shuai - in three sets - Kyle Edmund progressed | :36:03. | :36:05. | |
through to the second round, beating Australian | :36:06. | :36:08. | |
Jordan Thompson 6-4 6-2. Rowing now and London 2012 gold | :36:09. | :36:17. | |
medallist, Katherine Grainger, and her new racing partner, | :36:18. | :36:19. | |
Vicky Thornley, came through a difficult heat, | :36:20. | :36:21. | |
to secure a place in the semi-finals The British pair were winning | :36:22. | :36:24. | |
at the half way stage, but they were hauled in, | :36:25. | :36:27. | |
and then involved in a three-way battle for the line, | :36:28. | :36:30. | |
with the Lithuanian In the end they finished second, | :36:31. | :36:32. | |
which does secure a place, But afterwards they admitted, | :36:33. | :36:35. | |
there's plenty of room We are reasonably happy with how to | :36:36. | :36:55. | |
raise rent with everything considered, the conditions and | :36:56. | :37:00. | |
everything. We got out at the start well. When we look back at it we | :37:01. | :37:05. | |
might be disappointed. A little bit disappointed. It's the first race | :37:06. | :37:11. | |
for us in a long time and conditions were a little bit exciting out | :37:12. | :37:18. | |
there. It is where we want to be. It is a competitive race. That is a | :37:19. | :37:22. | |
great start, but we won't be happy with that in a few days' time. | :37:23. | :37:23. | |
Strong winds blowing across the open water, in Rio, made for, | :37:24. | :37:28. | |
very difficult racing conditions, in the first heats of the Rowing. | :37:29. | :37:30. | |
The conditions got so challenging, that the Serbian | :37:31. | :37:32. | |
team, fell into the water in the men's pair. | :37:33. | :37:34. | |
They have been permitted, to take part in the re-pacharge, | :37:35. | :37:37. | |
which gives boats finishing just outside the qualifying places, | :37:38. | :37:39. | |
And we'll finish our round-up on a high - | :37:40. | :37:42. | |
how about this for a strike, in the women's football, | :37:43. | :37:45. | |
China's Tan Ruyin, scoring from 40-yards in the last few | :37:46. | :37:48. | |
minutes of the match against South Africa. | :37:49. | :37:51. | |
Brilliant effort, spotted the goalkeeper off her line, | :37:52. | :37:55. | |
Let's have a look at the early medals table and how it stands. | :37:56. | :38:45. | |
Community Shield is a friendly. Of course, we will give it a maximum. | :38:46. | :41:06. | |
Manchester will give the maximum. It will be a true, true, match. The two | :41:07. | :41:14. | |
teams want to win the cup. It is not a training session against another | :41:15. | :41:19. | |
team, it is a game. Especially for the players who were involved in | :41:20. | :41:32. | |
last season for them at must have a meaning you need to win the FA Cup | :41:33. | :41:34. | |
and the one FA Cup. They will resume the cricket this | :41:35. | :41:56. | |
morning with Jonny Bairstow on the 18th run short of his own century. | :41:57. | :42:00. | |
It is the obvious point just now, don't forget that the Olympic | :42:01. | :42:07. | |

The first day of Olympic action features on most of the front pages. | :42:26. | :42:32. | |
The Telegraph has an image of British swimmer Adam Peaty, | :42:33. | :42:34. | |
who has broken the world record in the 100m breaststroke. | :42:35. | :42:36. | |
And it's lead story says the Prime Minister will launch | :42:37. | :42:39. | |

The Sunday Times says the Rio Olympics has been rocked | :42:57. | :42:59. | |
by a new doping scandal involving a Kenyan official. | :43:00. | :43:01. | |
The Independent speculates that the Russian team | :43:02. | :43:02. | |
will be completely banned from the Paralympics - | :43:03. | :43:04. | |
a decision we are expecting this afternoon. | :43:05. | :43:06. | |
And it carries a picture of a Syrian refugee competing in Rio. | :43:07. | :43:10. | |
The Sunday Express leads on fracking, reporting that | :43:11. | :43:12. | |
according to a consultation due out tomorrow as much as ?10,000 could be | :43:13. | :43:15. | |
And the Mail on Sunday has the same story, saying the Prime Minister | :43:16. | :43:23. | |
is planning cash pay-outs to families, marking a departure | :43:24. | :43:26. | |
in approach from the previous Government. | :43:27. | :43:33. | |
Let's begin with fracking. The Prime Minister's stunning proposition. | :43:34. | :43:50. | |
Helpful map about whether your town or village will hit the pay-out. | :43:51. | :43:55. | |
This is an interesting story. It is very much a great headline. It is | :43:56. | :44:02. | |
important for the reason made to be spelling out what she is doing on | :44:03. | :44:11. | |
energy policy. Not least because of the nuclear drive. What is happening | :44:12. | :44:15. | |
is that the Government are trying to spell out that the ease some of the | :44:16. | :44:19. | |
residential fears from people who live near the sites, instead of the | :44:20. | :44:26. | |
money that we were going to give the local councils and community | :44:27. | :44:31. | |
projects, that could go direct to households. The reason they says it | :44:32. | :44:41. | |
will go directly to the households. If you live near the site you could | :44:42. | :44:43. | |
get up to ?10,000. In Manchester, there is a site where | :44:44. | :44:54. | |
you would only get ?1000. It depends on where you live. It is a postcode | :44:55. | :44:59. | |
lottery. It just reminds us, Prashant, that we have a new | :45:00. | :45:03. | |
government, we are finding out new things, new policies. Exactly, | :45:04. | :45:10. | |
Theresa May is theoretically going to make this policy announcement | :45:11. | :45:13. | |
soon. We're learning things about her that we would have learned in a | :45:14. | :45:16. | |
leadership election but we did not really have one for the Conservative | :45:17. | :45:21. | |
Party. We do not know much about her. She was at the Home Office, but | :45:22. | :45:27. | |
that was focused portfolio. We are learning about fracking, finding out | :45:28. | :45:32. | |
about things here and there. Tell us about the American experience. The | :45:33. | :45:35. | |
United States is a much bigger country, but is there at the same | :45:36. | :45:38. | |
kind of anti-fracking protests, and does paying money to | :45:39. | :45:57. | |
local people help believe that -- help alleviate that and shut people | :45:58. | :46:00. | |
up? To a certain extent, it does. The Sunday Mail refers to this. It | :46:01. | :46:03. | |
has a side bar story. There are environmental concerns about | :46:04. | :46:05. | |
fracking. But by providing money to individual households, it lessens | :46:06. | :46:09. | |
the opposition, certainly. It has changed the debate in the United | :46:10. | :46:14. | |
States, where fracking is a bigger source of energy. Let's move to the | :46:15. | :46:21. | |
Sunday Telegraph. It has May to lift ban on grammar schools. PM to blog | :46:22. | :46:27. | |
and social -- and selective education to promote social | :46:28. | :46:30. | |
mobility. This has been talked about in conservative circles for a long | :46:31. | :46:36. | |
time. The catch is, if you have selection, there will be winners and | :46:37. | :46:40. | |
losers. Some people will go to excellent grammar schools, and under | :46:41. | :46:45. | |
the old system, some people went to secondary moderns, which were not | :46:46. | :46:51. | |
very good. This is a popular idea among the conservative grassroots, | :46:52. | :46:55. | |
extending the 360 grammar schools that are remaining. We live in a | :46:56. | :47:07. | |
different world to when these skills were hugely popular and successful. | :47:08. | :47:10. | |
In counties like Kent, when you have lots of these skills, you have | :47:11. | :47:12. | |
families that move into the area, which inflates house prices. They | :47:13. | :47:15. | |
get Private tutors to make sure they pass the exams to get in. There is | :47:16. | :47:18. | |
an argument that to expand grammar schools would entrench that the | :47:19. | :47:22. | |
latest role that they had, rather than benefit the people who most | :47:23. | :47:25. | |
need it, bright children from disadvantaged families. Unless there | :47:26. | :47:31. | |
is an element that in trenches that people from less well-off | :47:32. | :47:36. | |
backgrounds can go to the schools, it is problematic. Theresa May has a | :47:37. | :47:40. | |
small majority in the House of Commons. She is massively popular | :47:41. | :47:46. | |
among Conservative MPs. Whether she would need a new law and whether a | :47:47. | :47:50. | |
majority of 12 would get that through Parliament, it is a big | :47:51. | :47:54. | |
question. One of the arguments in favour of grammar skills is that for | :47:55. | :47:58. | |
those lucky enough to go to them, they are an engine of social | :47:59. | :48:01. | |
mobility. They have helped people get on, get into parliament, even | :48:02. | :48:07. | |
become Prime Minister. Theresa May went to grammar school. She alluded | :48:08. | :48:17. | |
to this in her first speech. She spoke about moving people up the | :48:18. | :48:20. | |
social chain. It is interesting, we are learning about Theresa May, bits | :48:21. | :48:23. | |
and bobs about what she believes in. It is interesting how it is coming | :48:24. | :48:27. | |
out. One story which fascinates people around the world. A good take | :48:28. | :48:35. | |
on this in the Sunday Telegraph. Donald Trump's week of calamities | :48:36. | :48:39. | |
may finally be his downfall. I would not hold my breath on that headline. | :48:40. | :48:44. | |
People have counted out Donald Trump for most of 2016 but you still seems | :48:45. | :48:50. | |
to be the Republican nominee. What do you make of that? It is dangerous | :48:51. | :48:54. | |
to suggest that this might be the week that is the end of Donald | :48:55. | :48:58. | |
Trump. It might have been the week before that, and a week before that. | :48:59. | :49:09. | |
It is so hard to tell. What further calamities can befall his campaign? | :49:10. | :49:12. | |
We do not know but he soldiers on. These ones, in a nutshell, he did | :49:13. | :49:17. | |
not endorse the leading Republican in the country, the Speaker of the | :49:18. | :49:21. | |
House of Representatives, for a re-election. Then he did endorse | :49:22. | :49:26. | |
him. He made comments about the family of a Muslim service man who | :49:27. | :49:30. | |
was killed in action. That really got people. I think so, along with | :49:31. | :49:35. | |
the comments, it is the intransigence in the face of the | :49:36. | :49:40. | |
opposition to the comments, the refusal to back down. You were | :49:41. | :49:42. | |
saying this earlier, when you put it in a list of all the things that | :49:43. | :49:46. | |
have happened, it is remarkable. I read a list that said that Mr Trump | :49:47. | :49:54. | |
appeared to get in a feud with a crying baby. It is incredible. | :49:55. | :49:57. | |
Politicians are supposed to kiss babies, not tell their mothers to | :49:58. | :50:01. | |
get out. In the Sunday Telegraph, when he talks about the women that | :50:02. | :50:05. | |
would be in his top team, the only person he seems to mention is his | :50:06. | :50:09. | |
daughter. He did not seem to be aware of that Russia had taken over | :50:10. | :50:14. | |
the Crimean peninsula. He did say that Russia would not be invading | :50:15. | :50:19. | |
Ukraine any time soon. As journalists, this is the gift that | :50:20. | :50:24. | |
keeps on giving. Gerald Ford, years ago, when talking about Poland and | :50:25. | :50:27. | |
not knowing it was a member of the Warsaw Pact, that seemed to finish. | :50:28. | :50:32. | |
But he is the Energizer Bunny, he keeps going. There is a view in the | :50:33. | :50:39. | |
world, I do not care what the papers say, we have our view of these | :50:40. | :50:43. | |
people, and if we like them, there is nothing you can say. It is a | :50:44. | :50:47. | |
conspiracy, I am sure he did not mean it, and if you like Donald | :50:48. | :50:52. | |
Trump, they really liked him in the States. They will not be persuaded | :50:53. | :50:57. | |
otherwise. The Telegraph is saying he is 15 points behind Hillary | :50:58. | :51:01. | |
Clinton in the opinion polls, but he has massive residual support. Let's | :51:02. | :51:09. | |
move on to the Olympics. Adam Peaty. It is great that he beat his own | :51:10. | :51:14. | |
world record. He has not won a medal yet. We hope he might. Endless | :51:15. | :51:19. | |
fascination about this. His photo is on every front page. It is great | :51:20. | :51:24. | |
what he has done. From my perspective, because of all the | :51:25. | :51:28. | |
things happening in Rio and around the world, it is not the time to be | :51:29. | :51:33. | |
excited about the Olympics. The infrastructure problems, the chaos | :51:34. | :51:37. | |
and Brazilian politics, to say nothing of the craziness in the | :51:38. | :51:42. | |
world generally, I feel like this Olympics is different. Let me go on | :51:43. | :51:48. | |
to the two others. The Observer has, Russia faces a ban from the | :51:49. | :51:53. | |
Paralympics, as in a complete ban. The Sunday Times has an excellent | :51:54. | :51:58. | |
story. Olympics rocked by new doping scandal. That is part of it. The | :51:59. | :52:03. | |
Olympic brand, however much we enjoy the game, we want to see athletes | :52:04. | :52:08. | |
compete fairly and we wanted to be clean. -- Games. The Sunday Times | :52:09. | :52:14. | |
has some great journalism on this. There are suggesting that so many | :52:15. | :52:18. | |
people cheat we cannot take it at face value that the winners are the | :52:19. | :52:34. | |
best. That is a problem. One of the only ways around that is to see a | :52:35. | :52:39. | |
massive expansion of testing. Perhaps you will get to the position | :52:40. | :52:41. | |
where literally everyone who wins a medal will get tested immediately or | :52:42. | :52:44. | |
straight after. The Sunday Times has done great work on this in the past. | :52:45. | :52:47. | |
It has gone to a Kenyan official, a major. The reporters have said, will | :52:48. | :52:49. | |
you introduce us to people who can get around doping rules. Apparently, | :52:50. | :52:55. | |
for ?10,000, he said he would. He has said he was playing along to see | :52:56. | :53:00. | |
what was going on. On the face of it, it looks like serious | :53:01. | :53:04. | |
allegations and potential corruption. One of the problem is | :53:05. | :53:08. | |
that the newspapers face, because of the time difference, we are four | :53:09. | :53:12. | |
hours ahead, it is difficult for them to look current on the | :53:13. | :53:15. | |
Olympics, because the deadline for newspapers | :53:16. | :53:37. | |
tend ten o'clock on a Saturday night, and lots of the big events | :53:38. | :53:41. | |
will be happening at two o'clock in the morning. Ironically, lots of the | :53:42. | :53:43. | |
Sunday papers have big pieces on the opening ceremony, would seems like a | :53:44. | :53:46. | |
long time ago. It seems like ancient history. Part of the thing with all | :53:47. | :53:48. | |
sport, Lance Armstrong and cycling, the Fifa ethics committee, a phrase | :53:49. | :53:50. | |
that is difficult to say without people laughing, and we have got | :53:51. | :53:53. | |
this. We want sport to be clean, to be able to believe it is good. The | :53:54. | :53:56. | |
Sunday Times has an editorial that says, the year of the doping | :53:57. | :53:59. | |
Olympics. It may be tragic, but this is a wonderful sporting event. | :54:00. | :54:04. | |
People can get excited. You can get excited about life in general. It | :54:05. | :54:08. | |
does not feel like this is going to happen this year. It feels like it | :54:09. | :54:13. | |
will be tainted by this idea, where these guys clean? The majority of | :54:14. | :54:17. | |
athletes are clean, and what they have to give up in order to do this | :54:18. | :54:22. | |
is extraordinary. The dedication of someone like Adam Peaty, to set a | :54:23. | :54:30. | |
world record, is extraordinary. Equally extraordinary is the idea | :54:31. | :54:33. | |
that they just gave a thumbs up instead of doing cartwheels. He | :54:34. | :54:35. | |
probably expects to do better than this break the world record again. | :54:36. | :54:40. | |
His family were interviewed on the this morning. They seem incredibly | :54:41. | :54:46. | |
grounded. His father said that the furthest he had been was Sheffield, | :54:47. | :54:51. | |
60 miles. As breads, we tend to judge this through the prism of | :54:52. | :54:56. | |
British success. That will be key. If British people do well, | :54:57. | :55:01. | |
fantastic. If they do less well, we will be less interested. Fingers | :55:02. | :55:06. | |
crossed for Adam Peaty. Thanks very much. That is it for this segment. | :55:07. | :55:14. | |
Thanks to Vincent Moss and Prashant Rao. | :55:15. | :55:15. | |
Just a reminder, we take a look at tomorrow's front pages | :55:16. | :55:18. | |
every evening at 10:30 and 11:30, here on BBC News. | :55:19. | :55:22. | |
Coming up on BBC One after this programme is Sunday Morning Live. | :55:23. | :55:24. | |
With the details, we say good morning to Naga Munchetty. | :55:25. | :55:31. | |
Good morning. On Sunday Morning Live, more police with guns on the | :55:32. | :55:36. | |
streets. Does that make us feel safer? We're asking if women lacked | :55:37. | :55:42. | |
ambition. One boss had to step down when he suggested that female staff | :55:43. | :55:47. | |
were happy just doing good work. And singer Gregory Porter tells us why | :55:48. | :55:52. | |
he is happy to be known as a mummy's boy. Join us at ten o'clock. Now the | :55:53. | :55:59. | |
weather. Thank you. Good morning. Difficult | :56:00. | :56:04. | |
to know what to put in the sphere this morning. I have gone for wet | :56:05. | :56:08. | |
and windy because it is already windy across the north of the | :56:09. | :56:13. | |
British Isles. When this cloud rocks up into western Scotland and | :56:14. | :56:16. | |
Northern Ireland later, you will certainly get it wet as well. Notice | :56:17. | :56:21. | |
the ice bars on the chart. That is indicating how windy things are. We | :56:22. | :56:26. | |
have seen DOS of 50 miles Pereyra, and that is at lower levels. If | :56:27. | :56:39. | |
you're thinking about high ground in Scotland and Northern Ireland, you | :56:40. | :56:41. | |
had better be very experienced and up to date with the weather | :56:42. | :56:43. | |
forecast. Tricky conditions. This is the scale of the problem we will be | :56:44. | :56:46. | |
facing later this afternoon. Brightness to be had across the East | :56:47. | :56:49. | |
of Scotland. Watch out for the gas if you're on the road. Then the rain | :56:50. | :56:54. | |
for Scotland and Northern Ireland. The rain is on the move for Northern | :56:55. | :56:58. | |
Ireland. The far West will brighten up before the end of the day. Adults | :56:59. | :57:03. | |
start across southern counties, but it will improve markedly. Apart from | :57:04. | :57:10. | |
the Channel Islands, where you get the sunshine, 24, but will you do | :57:11. | :57:16. | |
not, something like 15 or 16. Not cold, but not what you would expect | :57:17. | :57:21. | |
for the first week in August. That is what you would expect. They | :57:22. | :57:25. | |
should get a Phil Day's play at Edgbaston for the conclusion of the | :57:26. | :57:30. | |
test match. This evening and overnight, we will bring a band of | :57:31. | :57:34. | |
weather across the British Isles. Another will sweep in across | :57:35. | :57:39. | |
northern areas. The winds will still be a feature. Monday will be | :57:40. | :57:43. | |
brighter for the greater part of the British Isles. The winds are still a | :57:44. | :57:49. | |
feature across many northern parts, it is a north-westerly. Fresher than | :57:50. | :57:59. | |
the last couple of days. Speckling of showers in the evening, but you | :58:00. | :58:02. | |
get the sense that it is dry weather, apart from Northern Isles. | :58:03. | :58:05. | |
As the skies clear, it will be a cold started Tuesday. These are the | :58:06. | :58:11. | |
temperatures. We could get into single figures. That is how we start | :58:12. | :58:15. | |
next week, with the wind in the Northwest. Rain in the north, much | :58:16. | :58:20. | |
drier in the south. Thank you very much. | :58:21. | :58:23. | |
Coming up on the BBC News Channel after ten, we'll be speaking | :58:24. | :58:26. | |
to our South Africa correspondent, to get the latest on Oscar | :58:27. | :58:28. | |
Pistorius' health following reports he's in hospital being | :58:29. | :58:30. | |
The next news on BBC One is at 12:45. | :58:31. | :58:36. | |
nothing says Rio de Janeiro quite like it. | :58:37. | :59:04. | |
So I've come here to Rio to explore the culture and the people | :59:05. | :59:09. |
