After the spectacular fall of democracy in Egypt, the military | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
began cracking down on the Muslim Brotherhood today. But if political | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
Islam has failed, what could take its place? This is the Egypt that | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
rejects the army's intervention, they have said they won't leave | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
this square, but they haven't yet spelt out a strategy for opposing | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
the new authorities. How should the west respond to the return of | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
military rule. We will speak to the former French Foreign Minister, and | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
George W Bush's close ally, Paul Wolfowitz. The Labour movement is | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
at war with itself over allegations of union malpractice. Tom Watson | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
resigns in the Shadow Cabinet, and the head of Unite union attacks the | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
party leadership. Is Labour imploding, I will speak to Angela | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
Eagle from Labour's front bench. The new research that suggests that | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
what we sometimes label the ups and downs of teenage behaviour could be | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
undiagnosed depression and suicidal tendencies. It gets to the point | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
where you are looking at sharp objects and thinking about the ways | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
you could kill yourself. That is when you realise that is not | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
hormones but something more serious, I don't think that is something | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
most teenagers would do. As the chef of the world Graham muscle | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
Bullfinch restaurant and avant- garde cuisine, I try to tempt him | :01:36. | :01:45. | |
with something I have knocked up! Egyptians woke up this morning in a | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
new regime, but not unknown. This coup represents a stunning defeat | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
for political Islam. The Muslim Brotherhood has been preparing for | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
power since they were created in the 1920s, and after less than a | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
year they have been kicked out by a popular uprising and the military. | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
Today the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood was arrested by the | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
security forces cracking down on the Islamist movement. We have | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
spoken to leading figures in the Muslim Brotherhood who vowed | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
resistance against the army, their first act of defiance has been to | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
call of a Friday of rejection following weekly prayers tomorrow. | :02:20. | :02:28. | |
We report from Cairo. Less than a day into the latest | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
victory of the popular will in Egypt you could see the despair on | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
the faces of the defeated. Muslim Brotherhood supporters thought they | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
too were children of the revolution. But the revolution has now devoured | :02:41. | :02:51. | |
:02:51. | :02:53. | ||
them. At midday prayers today, where Morsi supporters gathered in | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
a Cairo suburb, the Imam issued a special prayer against those who | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
laid injustice on them. The reference to the army's ousting of | :03:01. | :03:10. | |
a democratically elected President was unmissable. This doctor has | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
brought me to this outpost of resistance. He has told his wife | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
and four children he doesn't know when he will be home again, because | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
the protest camp will stay here until it is forcibly removed. It is | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
never mentioned by the new army- controlled state media. They are | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
isolating us from the world so that you should let our voice go to the | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
world. Let them see that we are supporting Morsi, we are supporting | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
Egypt. We will fight for our freedom, even by sacrificing | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
ourselves. They have their faith, they believe, and democratic | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
legitimacy on their side. But beyond shouting, it is not clear | :03:49. | :03:58. | |
what they will do next. This is the Egypt that reject the armyer a | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
intervention -- army's intervention. They say they won't leave the | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
square, but they haven't spelt out a strategy for opposing the army. | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
One of the senior Muslim Brotherhood members who hasn't been | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
arrested was leaving the protests. Will there be strikes and | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
disobedience? TRANSLATION: Civil disobedience isn't started with one | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
decision, it is state that society reaches when it can't deal with the | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
regime. We are simply protesting and rejecting the new situation | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
peacefully, in many different ways. Where will the Muslim Brotherhood | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
go now? The movement founded in Egypt which spread throughout the | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
Middle East has been persecuted for much of its 85-year history. After | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
the 2011 revolution it seized the chance to work through electoral | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
politics. Will it now have to think again? | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
Yesterday's events raised profound questions, not only about whether | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
the Arab Spring can produce democracy, but also about whether | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
political Islam can ever be confident of coming to power | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
successfully through the ballot box. It worked in Tunisia, it worked in | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
Turkey, but here, Egypt, the heart of the Arab world, this is the test | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
case. Everyone knows there is a chance | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
now that some Islamists will turn to violence. | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
And you still believe the ballot box, you still believe in | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
elections? Of course. Of course. But let me say something, what the | :05:24. | :05:32. | |
army did to us may change the minds of other people. This is so | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
dangerous for everyone in Egypt. But we are sticking and we will | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
make people stick to the peaceful way, to give back -- get back our | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
democracy. The problem is that over so many | :05:44. | :05:53. | |
years, as a semi-clandes tin underground organisation, the -- | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
semi-clandestine underground organisation, it has turned in on | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
itself, it didn't understand it was just about getting votes, but | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
building alliances in society. That is what they failed to do last year, | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
what lesson will they learn now? I was in their place I would be | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
receiving two difficult messages. The first message is that we have | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
done something wrong. And we need to be self-critical. We have failed | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
to question our own leaders. We have failed to understand how | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
democracy works. We have failed to understand how diverse and complex | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
and big Egypt is. Alternatively, the odds are against us and there | :06:33. | :06:41. | |
is no way we can really work within Egypt, within this democratic | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
system. Maybe time has come to revisit the question of violence. | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
Maybe now is the time to go back to violence. | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
Today the unelected head of the constitutional court was sworn in | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
as the new interim President. He promised the Brotherhood wouldn't | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
be excluded from political life. But he implied Morsi's rule had | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
been as bad as Mubarak's. TRANSLATION: We should stop | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
producing new dictators and not worship anyone except God, no idols, | :07:14. | :07:22. | |
fetishs or Presidents. Egypt's military, staging this fly-past | :07:22. | :07:30. | |
over Cairo, may not be worshipsed - - sworshipped, but they want to be | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
love. The thousands are cheering and staying on Tahrir Square until | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
the Road Map for elections is brought forward. Some who oppose | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
Morsi are even more worried by the authoritarian steps the army has | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
taken since yesterday. We are 2 hours into the intervention, we | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
have seen the closure of TV -- 24 hours into the intervention, we | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
have seen the closure of TV stations and a lot of arrests that | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
look like political I a -- arrested, aren't you having second thoughts, | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
it is not such a good idea? I don't think I would have seen it to be a | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
good idea in the first place. It seems to be coming back to the | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
Mubarak way of dealing with the Muslim Brotherhood, rounding up | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
their leaders, shutting down their media. Their newspaper was censored | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
today as well. This is not the way to deal with a party that was | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
democratically elected. For now, though, all the | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
Brotherhood can do is express their anger and try to protect themselves | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
in a country where no side seems to understand the meaning of the word | :08:36. | :08:43. | |
"inclusive". Here to discuss the dilemma is Egypt presents for other | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
Governments of the former US deputy Defence Secretary, Paul Wolfowitz, | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
and the former French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner. This | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
difficult question of democratic legitimacy. The Muslim Brotherhood | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
members were, they were elected by the ballot box, they have been set | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
aside by the military, you know, what is the chance that they will | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
turn to something other than the ballot box and perhaps return to | :09:12. | :09:21. | |
violence? Well it is very difficult to understand. To answer your | :09:21. | :09:31. | |
:09:31. | :09:35. | ||
question now. I hope that the this will look better than the Arab | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
Spring. We don't know. I was listening to your words, is | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
democracy be able to set up overnight, over one year? | :09:42. | :09:52. | |
:09:52. | :09:53. | ||
Impossible. But was it necessary for the people, very numberous | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
people, mill they came down into the street and more numerous than | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
they were -- millions they came down on to the street and more | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
numerous than the Muslim Brotherhood. Is it enough? I don't | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
think so, but is it better? I think it is better. Paul Wolfowitz you | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
were very much a supporter of democracy for the Middle East. Did | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
you think it would prove so difficult in Egypt that one year on | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
Morsi would be deposed? You know I think Egypt is suffering from the | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
death of civil society that was imposed by decade of dictatorial | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
rule. I'm not at all surprised it is difficult. Something that was | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
largely missing in the introduction, as I heard it, is this wasn't the | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
military acting spontaneously. This was the military acting in response | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
to some eight million people, not just in Cairo, but all over the | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
country, protesting against what they saw as both the incompetence | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
and the dictatorial character. Paul Wolfowitz, he was | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
democratically elected, he was democratically elected and there | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
are a lot more than eight million people in Egypt. Is that a | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
legitimate thing for the military to do simply because of protest? | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
I'm not saying it is legitimate, if you let me finish. These people | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
were protesting what they saw as an abuse of democratic power by the | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
Morsi Government and an inclination of going back to dictatorship, | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
elected dictatorship. That is not what they want either. No-one can | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
govern Egypt successfully unless they find a way to do it | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
inclusively. The military certainly can't. I would be surprised if the | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
military thinks they are capable of governing Egypt when these forces | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
are let loose. They better figure out very quickly how to step back | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
and build some kind of Government that enjoys broader legitimacy. | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
Either than Mubarak or than Morsi. On that question, do you think that | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
the Muslim Brotherhood has a role to play, or is it just that you | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
don't want them to play a dominant role. If in the ballot box next | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
time round they are elected to run the Government, is that | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
illegitimate, Paul Wolfowitz? think the Muslim Brotherhood has | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
got to be part of the process, I also believe that getting a 51% | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
majority in a democracy doesn't mean you can then go and do | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
whatever you want to do. Certainly that is not your view in England, | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
it is not our view in the United States, I don't believe it is the | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
view in Egypt. It is not completely clear why eight million people | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
turned out. But I certainly believe it was clear that they felt this | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
Government didn't share their priorities for the country. Bernard | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
Kouchner, what should the European powers do. This essentially was a | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
military coup, why will Europe not just call it what it was, a | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
military coup? Technically it was a military coup. But I remember when | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
during the first round and the second round, the Algerians decided | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
to suppress the second round because the first round was in | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
favour of the Islamists. Were they right? Were we right to support | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
that? I doubt it. Honestly I doubt it. We will see, because the | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
Egyptian soldiers, they promised us, they promised to the Egyptian | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
people to set up a sort of coming back to the ballots and elections | :13:19. | :13:27. | |
in a very short time. We will see. Secondly, they were in power, the | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
Egyptian soldiers were, with Mubarak and with Saddad, and in | :13:33. | :13:40. | |
power for 25 years, were they better? I doubt it. After we will | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
see. Paul Wolfowitz, the problem for America is if you call it a | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
military coup, you cannot, by the constitution, give Egypt military | :13:47. | :13:57. | |
:13:57. | :14:02. | ||
aid, can you? Let Paul Wolfowitz answer. Give me one second, as the | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
problem for America, you cannot give Egypt military aid at this | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
time It depends on what you call this, that language was put in law | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
when you had the case in Latin America with the military stepping | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
in without popular backing and removing civilian Governments. I | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
don't know of the phenomenon. It is unprecedented to have eight million | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
civilians out in the streets peacefully demonstrating and then | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
the military steps in. If they try to keep control and keep power then | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
certainly it will be considered a coup. But I believe that the view | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
is, from the Obama administration to give them some time to see if | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
they are serious about the promise of restoring democracy. That is the | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
essential thing right now to move forward. Is a military state | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
preferable to a Government run by the mob? Well, we will see. But | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
there is no other way that what Paul said, of course you have to | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
wait. Certainly to help the people there. But not only to help the | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
military people, but to help the civilian people, to train them. I | :15:09. | :15:16. | |
mean, it was impossible. But remember Muslim Brotherhood is one | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
in four of the population, among the Egyptian population. One in | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
four people is part of the Muslim Brotherhood. They were the only | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
organised force. So we have to count with them. We cannot just | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
reject them because of this big demonstration. We have to teach | :15:34. | :15:41. | |
them, if it is possible, or they have to learn or invent a sort of | :15:41. | :15:48. | |
fraternity inbetween the citizens, we will see, we will see. | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
There has to be compromise going forward. Thank you very much both | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
of you. Old Labour politics, like a dinosaur waking up from a long | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
sleep have roared back to life in the selection process in Falkirk to | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
replace the present MP, Eric Joyce. Allegations of a union stitch-up | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
for the seat fell at Labour's deputy Tom Watson, who left the | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
post and Shadow Cabinet. After an internal inquiry, Karie Murphy, the | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
office manager and Unite's favoured candidate was suspended from the | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
Falkirk Labour Party by Ed Miliband, as was the constituency chairman. | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
The Conservatives have jumped on the controversy, their Party | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
Chairman claiming Ed Miliband is not in control of his party. This | :16:32. | :16:42. | |
:16:42. | :16:57. | ||
At 463 words this was the longest of Tom Watson's three resignation | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
letters written in just seven years. Its length is perhaps apt. This | :17:02. | :17:09. | |
might be the biggest of any mess he has left behind. The Scottish seat | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
of Falkirk is the cause of this latest and possibly last Tom Watson | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
resignation. As Labour's general election co-ordinator, he had been | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
implicated in a nasty Fight about the union, Unite's role, in who | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
should be Labour's candidate here. This week the Tories used the | :17:27. | :17:35. | |
Falkirk row to ask the question who runs Labour? Ed Miliband other the | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
unions. With the general election co-ordinator for Labour walking out | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
with just two years to go to that general election, and this despite | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
Ed Miliband pleading with Tom Watson to stay, it looks like Ed | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
Miliband does run the Labour Party, it is just that at times today it | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
has not been a very firm grip. After the departure of Eric Joyce, | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
The Dark Knight union is accused of holding the selection for his | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
replacement in a very firm Europe that Unite packed its members on to | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
the local Labour Party list, to ensure their preferred candidate, | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
Karie Murphy, won it. Both because of Tom Watson's responsibility for | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
election candidates, and because candidate, Karie Murphy, was also | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
Tom Watson's office manager, he came under pressure. Trade unions | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
that support their members and the work place are an important part of | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
our society, but they can't bully and get their way within the Labour | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
Party. It seems what has happened in Falkirk is Unite have | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
overstepped the mark, they should remember that Ed Miliband runs the | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
Labour Party, not Unite. Labour HQ had taken action, they took control | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
of the selection process away from Falkirk. But Falkirk had already | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
become a fault line for the Labour Party. Behind the scenes Blairites | :18:53. | :19:01. | |
like Jim Murphy were overtly pitched back into battle against | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
the Brownites. His resignation and this line, referring to his | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
departure from Blair's Government, he makes the Blairite Brownite | :19:10. | :19:20. | |
:19:20. | :19:26. | ||
This afternoon Falkirk Party Chairman, Stephen Deans, and Karie | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
Murphy were suspended. A bold move by the Labour leader. He also | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
suspended the scheme which allows unions, like Unite, to sign members | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
up to the Labour Party and pay fees on their behalf. | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
Waton and others from across the union movement want Labour's report | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
into Falkirk to be published. Many sources privately say that the | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
truth might not be as ugly. Len McCluskey, Unite's leader is | :19:53. | :20:03. | |
:20:03. | :20:11. | ||
The Conservatives want to use this row to paint Ed Miliband as a man | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
thoroughly in the pockets of the unions. The Red Ed was his earlier | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
days as leader. The Labour Party want something completely different. | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
They want the row with The Dark Knight union to be so vivid and | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
technicolor that Ed Miliband clearly stands -- with Unite union | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
to be so vivid and in technicolor that Ed Miliband clearly stands as | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
separate from his backers. Tom Watson wrote a back about the | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
hacking scandal, and Labour now have to restore cleanliness and | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
credibility to their general election strategy if they are to | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
dial M for majority. Angela Eagle, a member of Ed | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
Miliband's Shadow Cabinet is here. An extraordinary attack by Len | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
McCluskey of Unite, it is a stitch- up, you are trying to smear Unite | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
and its members, incendiary language, is he right? Of course | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
not. This is, he's telling lies, this is not happening? Don't put | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
words in my mouth. The issue here is about what's been going on in | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
Falkirk which has led to the suspension of that process because | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
of irregularities with the membership. And we have been open | :21:25. | :21:33. | |
about all of that. We are now looking at it more closely. The | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
general election secretary and the leader of the Labour Party will | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
take action as a result of what's been going on in Falkirk. Let's be | :21:40. | :21:48. | |
quite clear. Unite, �8.5 million for the party. �115,000 for Ed | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
Miliband's campaign. You have had �14,000 for your constituency. | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
Unite has the whip hand. You can't afford to have a fight with Unite? | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
Of course they don't have the whip hand. They are an affiliated trade | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
union with the party. I have to say we support the trade union link in | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
the Labour Party. We're proud of our connection to millions of | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
ordinary working people up and down the country. Let's not mix things | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
up. But being proud of our trade union links doesn't mean that we | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
can tolerate what went on in Falkirk. What we have to do, what | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
the leader of the Labour Party has been doing today is demonstrating | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
that we have to ensure that our parliamentary selections are fair | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
and transparent with integrity, and we have to look after the Labour | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
Party's rules. And the integrity of the Labour Party rules. That is | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
what we are doing. You heard what Jim Murphy said there, he was in | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
turn attacked by Unite's Len McCluskey for saying it is not | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
worthy that the members of the Shadow Cabinet in initiating that | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
attack upon Unite, that is people like Jim Murphy. Do you agree with | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
what Jim Murphy said, we can't have the bullying stuff, unions | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
overstepping the mark and Unite overstepping the mark? We can't | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
have anyone, an affiliate or individual member of the Labour | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
Party disregarding the Labour Party rules when it comes to | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
parliamentary selections or anything else, it is for the leader | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
of the Labour Party who has taken firm and decisive action today to | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
protect the integrity of the Labour Party rules. Tom Watson said he | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
decided it was time for him to resign. But Newsnight has spoken to | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
Ed Miliband's office and Ed Miliband's office said they made | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
the call on Tom Watson, did he resign, or did Ed Miliband tell him | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
he had to go? My understanding is he talked to Ed Miliband earlier in | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
the week saying he wished to go. Ed told him he wanted to think about | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
it and not do something in the spur of the moment. Ed phoned him today | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
and they had the discussion and the letters were issued. So this, not | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
this is very important. It is about the leadership of the Labour Party | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
here. Funnily enough Tom Watson, you know, in his letter praised Ed | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
Miliband for being a bit like Buddha. But maybe he's just | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
meditating a bit too long isn't he. He doesn't seem to be able to make | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
up his mind? You can't have it both ways, one moment you are saying | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
he's not decisive enough and the next moment too decisive. Look he | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
has acted decisively and swiftly to deal with...We Don't actually | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
know...Kirsty Let me finish. He has acted decisively and swiftly to | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
deal with what is going on in Falkirk which is unacceptable and | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
protect the integrity of Labour Party selection proceed proceedings | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
and rules. If Len McCluskey -- procedures and rules. If cles cles | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
cles has the same duty to act to protect the ining at the -- Len | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
McCluskey has the same duty to act to protect the integrity of his | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
union's rules we have to protect our rules. It is clear there was a | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
conversation between Ed Miliband and Tom Watson about his resigning? | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
Earlier. Then there was another conversation, it doesn't sound like | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
Ed Miliband was making a decisive call over something that clearly he | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
thinks is a problem for the party in Falkirk? I think that if you | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
look at what happened with the suspension of the Falkirk selection | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
procedure, with the ending of the union join scheme and with the | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
suspension of the individuals who have been accused of malpractice | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
with respect to the union rules, that is decisive action. We have | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
seen that from our leader today. Len McCluskey, we asked him on the | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
programme and he wouldn't come on tonight. He's calling for another | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
inquiry, an independent one into what went on. Should he get that. | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
After all, he is your biggest backer? No, it is up to the leader | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
of the Labour Party, working with our General Secretary, to he d side | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
how we put our rules into effect. Len McCluskey can have an opinion, | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
but it is not his job to decide how to act. Today we have acted to | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
protect the integrity of our Labour Party rules. That is a clear | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
message to Len McCluskey, there will be no independent inquiry, | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
there are 41-backed Unite candidates in the Labour Party, | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
these are Unite candidates not Labour Party candidates? This is | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
ridiculous and I'm surprised to hear it coming from you. There are | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
many people who are members of the trade unions in the party, just | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
because one is a member of the trade union doesn't mean you are | :26:35. | :26:42. | |
some sort of automatic yum, I'm a member of -- automate tum, I'm a | :26:42. | :26:49. | |
member of the trait unions as as the party was created to look after | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
the interests of millions of working people up and down the | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
country, who are op proseed by the bad economic policies of this | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
Government. It keeps us in touch with reality and ordinary people. | :26:59. | :27:07. | |
We are proud of our trade union links. 20 years ago this year two | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
boys aged just ten were convicted of the murder of the toddler James | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
Bulger. It was shocking and disturbing. Jon Venables was | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
released from prison in 2001 aged 17 and given a new identity. Three | :27:21. | :27:27. | |
years later he was re-arrested and found guilty of distributing dozens | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
of child pornography on his computer. Two years ago he was | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
denied parole, today the parole board has decided he should be | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
released. James Bulger's mother and father believe this is the wrong | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
decision. We are joined from Liverpool by a solicitor. First of | :27:42. | :27:49. | |
all, what was the argument made by James Bulger's parents against the | :27:49. | :27:55. | |
granting of parole today? Well we had the opportunity to make a | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
statement to the Parole Board in May. One of the things of concern | :27:58. | :28:05. | |
was the fact that two years ago the Parole Board considered that Jon | :28:05. | :28:12. | |
Venables was not fit to be released, so what has changed. He was | :28:12. | :28:17. | |
convicted of a serious sex crime. He was unable to cope with life on | :28:17. | :28:24. | |
the outside, the support was not adequate. And he is undoubtedly a | :28:24. | :28:29. | |
potential danger to society. But more than that, there is a concern | :28:29. | :28:34. | |
that if he is released, as is indicated he will be released, we | :28:34. | :28:39. | |
have no idea on what basis, where he is going to live, how he is | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
going to be supervised. Innocent people have in the past been | :28:45. | :28:51. | |
mistaken for him and there is a fear that he, that some innocent | :28:51. | :28:58. | |
person will be injured or even killed. But is that an argument for | :28:58. | :29:02. | |
saying Jon Venables cannot be rehabilitated? The counter argument | :29:02. | :29:06. | |
is that the parole was turned down two years ago, the Parole Board now | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
feel there is sufficient ground to suggest that he can operate outside | :29:12. | :29:20. | |
within society. It would be more reassures to know on what basis | :29:20. | :29:25. | |
they have come to that conclusion. From the point of view of raffle | :29:25. | :29:29. | |
Bulger and his family, we haven't been -- Ralph Bulger and his family, | :29:29. | :29:34. | |
we haven't been told anything. Last time Jon Venables was released, I'm | :29:34. | :29:37. | |
right in saying you did have perameters, you did know something | :29:37. | :29:41. | |
of the circumstances of his release and what the boundaries would be. | :29:41. | :29:45. | |
Is it your understanding that would happen this time? My understanding | :29:45. | :29:53. | |
that under the Code of Practise for victims there is supposed to be | :29:53. | :29:56. | |
consultation on the conditions of parole, for example where the | :29:56. | :30:00. | |
offender is going to live. This time there has been no consultation, | :30:00. | :30:07. | |
we have been told nothing about the conditions of residence. Last time | :30:07. | :30:12. | |
Jon Venables was placed to Cheshire, adjacent to Merseyside, and | :30:12. | :30:14. | |
breaches those conditions on a number of occasions entering | :30:14. | :30:22. | |
Merseyside. We do not know where he will be placed. If which can -- if | :30:22. | :30:25. | |
we can turn briefly to Robert Thompson, what is your | :30:25. | :30:28. | |
understanding of his position? There is an injunction by which | :30:28. | :30:32. | |
nothing can be said about his where abouts, or his identity. But he is | :30:32. | :30:38. | |
on the outside. Assuming he is on the outside, we assume that he is | :30:38. | :30:44. | |
on the outside living a life in the community as a law-abiding citizen? | :30:44. | :30:50. | |
Well we know nothing. What we do know in the case of Jon Venables is | :30:50. | :30:56. | |
that the significant breach of his license conditions there were, and | :30:56. | :30:59. | |
some criminality. It was only when matters became so serious that the | :30:59. | :31:04. | |
authorities recalled him to custody. Do you think though that your | :31:04. | :31:09. | |
clients object to this now and have made their views clear to the | :31:09. | :31:14. | |
Parole Board, is that, do you think, a lifelong objection. That the | :31:14. | :31:18. | |
assumption, that the assumption you are making that Jon Venables, in | :31:18. | :31:21. | |
your clients' view will never be in a position to live on the outside? | :31:21. | :31:29. | |
I think one has to look at the practicalities of this. When Jon | :31:29. | :31:34. | |
Venables was released back into society, he was 17-18 years old. | :31:34. | :31:40. | |
And he was able to create a new identity and live that, live a new | :31:40. | :31:45. | |
life. Unfortunately unsuccessfully. He's now 30 and a lot of water has | :31:45. | :31:53. | |
passed under the bridge. He has had a corrupting episode in his life, | :31:53. | :31:58. | |
committing serious sex offences, and how easy is it for him to | :31:58. | :32:02. | |
create presumably another new idea toe and live a further life. So it | :32:02. | :32:12. | |
:32:12. | :32:16. | ||
is a highly risky strategy. Thank you very much. Still to come: | :32:16. | :32:21. | |
We will be serving up an interview with Catalan chef, Ferran Adria. | :32:21. | :32:25. | |
The best days of your life, that is the cliche, but there seems to be | :32:25. | :32:27. | |
growing evidence that large numbers of young people are suffering from | :32:27. | :32:32. | |
mental health problems. Tomorrow a new charity, Mindful, launches an | :32:32. | :32:38. | |
on-line counselling support service for young people. The launch | :32:38. | :32:41. | |
coincides with a survey that suggests one child in five has | :32:41. | :32:45. | |
symptoms of depression, and almost a third have thought about or | :32:45. | :32:48. | |
attempted suicide before they were 16. In a moment we will hear from | :32:48. | :32:52. | |
the clinical psychologyist, Tanya Byron. Through young people tell us | :32:52. | :32:57. | |
first what it is like to suffer with mental health problems. | :32:57. | :33:00. | |
From a very young age I was always worrying, scared about things that | :33:00. | :33:06. | |
you shouldn't really be scared about. When I was aged 11 I had | :33:06. | :33:09. | |
what is known in the health service as a mental health crisis. I missed | :33:09. | :33:15. | |
months of school, I couldn't leave the house, I was fiefg five-to-six | :33:15. | :33:23. | |
panic attacks a day -- five-to-six panics attacks a day I was having. | :33:23. | :33:27. | |
It is a numbness in your hands and feet, shaking, not being able to | :33:27. | :33:31. | |
breathe, not being able to think about anything apart from what you | :33:31. | :33:34. | |
are worrying about. You can make up one morning and feel fine and then | :33:34. | :33:41. | |
later on that day have a pank attack and -- a panic attack, and | :33:41. | :33:46. | |
have no idea why. Your heart feels like it is going to burst out of | :33:46. | :33:52. | |
your chest and it is painful. When I'm having an intense period of | :33:52. | :33:56. | |
anxiety it can be as many as five and six attacks a day. It is, | :33:56. | :34:02. | |
shausing. I didn't want to put -- exhausting, I didn't want to put | :34:02. | :34:07. | |
pressure on my parents, I kept it to myself, I felt I had dealt with | :34:07. | :34:14. | |
it my whole life and I can deal with it a bit more. | :34:14. | :34:18. | |
When I was 14 I thought I might actually commit suicide. There is a | :34:18. | :34:21. | |
difference between considering the idea and then actually thinking, | :34:21. | :34:28. | |
how you would plan and how you would go about committing suicide. | :34:28. | :34:36. | |
You can't tell if something is hor moans -- hormones or mental illness. | :34:36. | :34:40. | |
I had that thought in my mind, is this normal. Then it gets to the | :34:40. | :34:45. | |
point of looking at sharp objects and thinking of how you would kill | :34:45. | :34:49. | |
yourself with it, you realise that is much more serious because I | :34:49. | :34:58. | |
don't think that is something most teenagers would do. | :34:58. | :35:02. | |
For me things started to change when I was around 14, 15, the | :35:02. | :35:08. | |
pressure of exams and GCSEs came. I wouldn't see my friend, I wouldn't | :35:08. | :35:13. | |
be as open, or speak to anyone. I would come back from school and sit | :35:13. | :35:23. | |
:35:23. | :35:25. | ||
up in my room for hours upon end. Every day I would wake up and | :35:25. | :35:29. | |
headaches would be there, it was like a vice gripping my head, I | :35:29. | :35:33. | |
didn't want to get out of bed because they were so painful. Then | :35:33. | :35:37. | |
I found myself having nosebleeds two or three times a week, then my | :35:37. | :35:42. | |
hands started shaking. I thought I would die because I was looking at | :35:42. | :35:45. | |
the symptoms on Google and I convinced myself I had medical | :35:45. | :35:48. | |
problems. I thought I had a brain tumour, I didn't tell anyone for | :35:48. | :35:53. | |
weeks upon weeks, and eventually it all got a bit too much. I came home | :35:53. | :35:56. | |
from school early because I couldn't face the afternoon's | :35:56. | :36:00. | |
lessons, I just sat in my room and burst out crying of my parents were | :36:00. | :36:03. | |
going through a lot of things at the time, my mum's health wasn't | :36:03. | :36:08. | |
great. I saw them struggling and I didn't want to have to go and whack | :36:09. | :36:18. | |
:36:19. | :36:21. | ||
another 10% on top of what they had. A lot of the way through primary | :36:21. | :36:24. | |
school I was bull and secondary school as well. That took a big | :36:24. | :36:28. | |
effect on the way I behaved, the way I interacted with people and | :36:28. | :36:33. | |
just generally how I felt about myself. I let it build up. To the | :36:33. | :36:37. | |
extent that I was having headaches, nosebleeds, panic attacks. I | :36:37. | :36:40. | |
wouldn't want to go outside, I would want to come home from school, | :36:40. | :36:44. | |
sit in my house, do what I do. On the weekends I wouldn't even want | :36:44. | :36:49. | |
to go shopping with my family. I think it is a massive problem. We | :36:49. | :36:53. | |
are not told it is OK to talk about mental health. That is the hardest | :36:53. | :36:56. | |
part when you are going through something like that, it is not | :36:56. | :37:00. | |
going through what you are going through but finding a way to stop | :37:00. | :37:05. | |
it and finding a way to talk about it. It is a big step that | :37:05. | :37:10. | |
youngsters of this generation are finding out that it is OK to talk | :37:10. | :37:13. | |
about problems. It is intervention when you are younger and stopping | :37:13. | :37:18. | |
your problems to stop them getting into something greater when you are | :37:18. | :37:22. | |
older. Most days I just stay in bed and listen to music, I don't go out, | :37:22. | :37:27. | |
I don't really socialise or do any work. I just either read or listen | :37:27. | :37:31. | |
to music, because the effect it has on your ability to work, to | :37:31. | :37:37. | |
consentrate, to focus, to persevere is enormous. | :37:37. | :37:40. | |
I get really infuriated when people say just get yourself together, | :37:40. | :37:44. | |
because I don't think they realise quite how serious it is, and quite | :37:44. | :37:46. | |
how difficult it is to pick yourself up from that. You can't do | :37:46. | :37:52. | |
it by yourself. You need help. you want more information or help | :37:52. | :38:02. | |
go to the website. With me now is the child and | :38:02. | :38:09. | |
addless sant clinical psyche -- adolescent psychologist, Tanya | :38:09. | :38:13. | |
Byron. What your Mindful survey suggests is we are failing to Mick | :38:13. | :38:18. | |
up on a lot of mental health issues amongst teenagers? I want to start | :38:19. | :38:22. | |
by saying this is about prevention, not increasing numbers or | :38:22. | :38:25. | |
medicalising children. This is about getting in early to offer | :38:25. | :38:28. | |
support to children before they develop problems that become | :38:28. | :38:33. | |
chronic. I work in child mental health service, I and my colleagues | :38:33. | :38:40. | |
know we get children that have a level of impact that is so much | :38:40. | :38:45. | |
bigger, cuts in services to child and young adult mental health | :38:45. | :38:53. | |
services the cuts mean that as LSE told us in their latest survey that | :38:53. | :38:56. | |
three-quarters of children that need mental health services aren't | :38:56. | :39:00. | |
getting it. One of the arguments is being a young adult is tough, and | :39:00. | :39:03. | |
there is a lot of external forces going on, there is the social | :39:03. | :39:07. | |
context, what is happening in the school, but actually they have a | :39:07. | :39:11. | |
huge impact on how a child feels. We have just heard with bullying, | :39:11. | :39:15. | |
it is not always the child has a mental health issue, it is that the | :39:15. | :39:19. | |
circumstances are such that lead to real anxieties and really problems? | :39:19. | :39:26. | |
Exactly, I couldn't have put it better myself. This is why Mindfull | :39:27. | :39:30. | |
is such a brilliant charity, I'm proud to be the President. We want | :39:30. | :39:34. | |
to take peer mentoring into schools, we train children and young people | :39:34. | :39:38. | |
to offer support and advice to other children and young people who | :39:38. | :39:42. | |
are struggling with sometimes the everyday difficult realities of | :39:42. | :39:47. | |
tkwroing up, of the transition into adulthood. By getting in early we | :39:47. | :39:53. | |
are preventing it in the population but adult mental health problems. | :39:53. | :39:57. | |
Is there an issue that you perhaps label teenagers with particular | :39:57. | :40:01. | |
issues, and particular problems that are almost a self-fulfiling | :40:01. | :40:05. | |
prophesy. I don't mean that generally but in individual cases? | :40:05. | :40:10. | |
That is precisely what we are trying to stop happening. We don't | :40:10. | :40:12. | |
want these children to become so chronic that they will be labelled | :40:12. | :40:17. | |
and get a diagnosis. If you have a peer mental support system, young | :40:17. | :40:22. | |
people who can support each other and can offer resources and on-line | :40:22. | :40:27. | |
counselling, we can stop situations developing into full-blown mental | :40:27. | :40:31. | |
health problems. When you see peer mentoring, this will require huge | :40:31. | :40:36. | |
resores, you say the wait -- resource, you say the waiting lists | :40:36. | :40:42. | |
are huge, huge resors for every child that needs it, consistent and | :40:42. | :40:50. | |
reliable help. Because the danger is that you can't do everything | :40:50. | :40:55. | |
that, sometimes in itself can cause more damage? We are not doing | :40:55. | :40:58. | |
enough. We are looking at how to enable young people using social | :40:58. | :41:03. | |
media, who say in very clearly in tonnes of research that peer | :41:03. | :41:07. | |
mentoring and social media support is what young people value. Face- | :41:07. | :41:10. | |
to-face consultation is very threatening, on-line therapy is a | :41:10. | :41:14. | |
good way to start for people. line they werey has to be | :41:14. | :41:20. | |
consistent and reliable. The danger with on-line therapy that you end | :41:20. | :41:24. | |
up making a diagnosis on-line? are supported by Cabinet Office and | :41:24. | :41:28. | |
a number of third sector agencies, we have a huge amount of resourcing, | :41:28. | :41:32. | |
our therapists are trained therapists and counsellors, we do | :41:32. | :41:37. | |
everything not to diagnose children but to enable them and empower them | :41:37. | :41:40. | |
to manage their own mental health safely. In a world of celebrity | :41:40. | :41:45. | |
chefs, he's a stand-out star with three michelin stars next to his | :41:45. | :41:50. | |
name, a testament to his hard work, stant talent and originalty. His | :41:50. | :41:58. | |
restaurant El Bulli was voted best restaurant five times. He's the | :41:58. | :42:03. | |
first chef to have an exhibition at Somerset House in London, dedicated | :42:03. | :42:08. | |
to his life and work. It opens tomorrow but today he gave me an | :42:08. | :42:18. | |
:42:18. | :42:20. | ||
exclusive television interview. Very few of us will have | :42:20. | :42:26. | |
experienced El Bulli, but at Somerset House the story of the | :42:26. | :42:30. | |
restaurant and the chef that brought it into being is laid out, | :42:30. | :42:35. | |
course by course, from liquid nitrogen to the foam and the shabby | :42:35. | :42:40. | |
chairs from the restaurant itself. The deck cor not changed in 40 | :42:40. | :42:47. | |
years. Is -- -- decor not changed in 40 years. Is it about art or | :42:47. | :42:52. | |
cooking? I cook.TRANSLATION: Cooking is cooking, it is true | :42:52. | :42:59. | |
there is a type of cuisine that as an experience can be. T yi, pico? | :42:59. | :43:03. | |
TRANSLATION: No an avant-garde cuisine, similar to painting and | :43:03. | :43:09. | |
music. El Bulli was avant-garde. Are you flattered that people use | :43:09. | :43:16. | |
some of the things that you used, lick gid nitrogen, all sorts of -- | :43:16. | :43:20. | |
liquid nitroagain, all sorts of things. You were the lead -- knit | :43:20. | :43:24. | |
tro again, all sorts of things, you were the leader? We, but what we | :43:24. | :43:34. | |
:43:34. | :43:36. | ||
were leaders in was thinking. What we did was not about the lick gid | :43:36. | :43:42. | |
nitrogen, but we opened thousands of -- liquid nitrogen, but we | :43:42. | :43:47. | |
opened thousands of people's minds to different things. How important | :43:47. | :43:53. | |
was the atmosphere and Catalan to what you do? What Catalan for me is | :43:53. | :43:57. | |
the feeling, the sea, the sun, Barcelona. That is what is | :43:57. | :44:01. | |
important. The produce is not important, products are global, the | :44:01. | :44:08. | |
tomatoes from the Americas, it is the feeling. Take shoe shi, I -- | :44:08. | :44:13. | |
sushi, I can make sushi, but the feeling about it would always be | :44:13. | :44:16. | |
Catalan. How much do you feel the economic problems of Spain. How | :44:16. | :44:26. | |
:44:26. | :44:27. | ||
much does it effect you? TRANSLATION: It is a problem of the | :44:27. | :44:32. | |
system, not a problem of the people. The people are wonderful: Spanish | :44:33. | :44:36. | |
youth are trying, the system has failed. But this has not only | :44:36. | :44:41. | |
happened in Spain, Spain is the apex of the problem. Unfortunately, | :44:42. | :44:45. | |
if things don't change elsewhere we are going to see the same thing in | :44:45. | :44:54. | |
other countries. But now, El Bulli will change to be something | :44:54. | :44:57. | |
different. Is that because you want to pass things on, is that because | :44:57. | :45:03. | |
you want young chefs to follow, men and women, to build a tradition | :45:03. | :45:13. | |
:45:13. | :45:16. | ||
like yours? The foundation is freedom. TRANSLATION:We want to | :45:16. | :45:20. | |
help cusine to continue evolving, we want to make people think and | :45:20. | :45:25. | |
reflect about creativity. At the restaurant we are developing | :45:25. | :45:28. | |
creativity using cusine as a language. If there is one | :45:28. | :45:36. | |
ingredient that you like to eat, what is it? TRANSLATION: Salt! It | :45:36. | :45:40. | |
is the most important ingredient in the world. It is the only product | :45:40. | :45:45. | |
that changes a dish, it totally changes the dish. Without salt the | :45:45. | :45:50. | |
dish is something else. Caviar is fantastic, lobster, the truffle, | :45:50. | :45:59. | |
but nothing major happens if there is no truffle, salt changes a dish. | :45:59. | :46:04. | |
Salt, thank goodness then that in the fresh tomato sauce I have | :46:04. | :46:14. | |
:46:14. | :46:17. | ||
prepared for Ferran Adria there was some very special salt. | :46:17. | :46:27. | |
:46:27. | :47:01. | ||
(speaks in Spanish) Perfecto. That's funny. Fantastico.Tomorrow | :47:01. | :47:11. | |

We leave you with a classic track from the Nolan sisters following | :47:24. | :47:30. | |
the news today that Bernie Nolan has died, she was aged 52. | :47:30. | :47:35. | |
# I can't stop dancing # So move your feet babe | :47:35. | :47:38. | |
# Because honey when I get up # I go to you | :47:38. | :47:42. | |
# I'm in the mood # For dancing | :47:42. | :47:47. | |
# Romaning # You know I shan't ever stop | :47:47. | :47:49. | |
tonight # I'm in the mood | :47:49. | :47:59. | |

High summer is arriving, and with it some fairly high temperatures | :48:03. | :48:08. | |
over the next few days. A God day in prospect for most of the -- a | :48:08. | :48:12. | |
good day in prospect for most of England and Wales. Any showers will | :48:12. | :48:16. | |
fade away. By the afternoon most of us will be dry, some sunshine | :48:16. | :48:19. | |
across the east of Northern Ireland, that will do bonders for the | :48:19. | :48:22. | |
temperatures, cloudier across the west and Scotland. More eastern | :48:22. | :48:28. | |
areas seeing the lion's share of the sunshine. Temperatures at 4.00 | :48:28. | :48:34. | |
pm, and for a God part the afternoon low-to-mid-20s. | :48:34. | :48:39. | |
Strong sunshine. Be aware. Around the coastal fringe cooler with the | :48:39. | :48:43. | |
breeze coming off the sea. Mist from the coast of east Kent and | :48:43. | :48:47. | |
Sussex. Across the south west of England. Although there may be | :48:47. | :48:50. | |
broken cloud at times we should see sunshine. Inland temperatures | :48:50. | :48:54. | |
should get up into the mid-20s in quit a few locations. A sunny end | :48:54. | :48:59. | |
to the week, the weekend is shaping up well too. Across northern areas | :48:59. | :49:02. | |
on Saturday a weather front pushing in across Northern Ireland and | :49:02. | :49:06. | |
Scotland. Some showery rain here, although it should clear through by | :49:06. | :49:09. | |
Sunday. Further south across the UK we are set fair with a lot of | :49:09. | :49:12. | |
sunshine and temperatures will be on the rise day by day. So this is | :49:12. | :49:16. |
