David Cameron tells the Greek people they must decide, once and

:00:08.:00:13.

for all, if they want to stay in the Euro. He warns that failure to

provide clarity could be disastrous, and he issues a clear message to

them. There is a choice. You can either vote to stay in the euro,

:00:24.:00:27.

with all the commitments that you've made or if you vote another

I am for Robin, I wonder how Barry's feeling. I hope he knows

Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. David Cameron has

:01:40.:01:43.

told the Greek people they should decide once and for all whether

:01:43.:01:46.

they want to stay in the eurozone. The Prime Minister was speaking in

:01:46.:01:50.

America, where he's attending a NATO summit with other world

:01:50.:01:53.

leaders. He suggested that forth coming elections in Greece would,

:01:53.:01:59.

in effect, be a referendum on the euro and said failure to provide

:01:59.:02:00.

clarity could prove disastrous for the world economy.

:02:00.:02:06.

Our Europe Correspondent Matthew Price reports. In Britain, there

:02:06.:02:10.

are increasing concerns about the effect of the eurozone problems.

:02:10.:02:14.

David Cameron is now trying to focus minds on the latest stage of

:02:14.:02:18.

this crisis. We now have to send a very clear message to people in

:02:18.:02:23.

Greece. There is a choice. You can either vote to stay in the euro,

:02:23.:02:26.

with all the commitments that you've made or if you vote another

:02:26.:02:31.

way, you are effectively voting to leave. He's not the first to tell

:02:31.:02:36.

Greece that depending on who it chooses for its next government,

:02:36.:02:42.

the result could lead it out of the euro. Cameron is right. Greece is

:02:42.:02:46.

at a cross roads. If they were to leave the eurozone, then Europe

:02:46.:02:49.

would have to act fast. It would have to make sure that there could

:02:49.:02:55.

not be a run on banks in say, Italy or Spain. Europe would have to make

:02:55.:03:02.

sure that overall financial markets can remain calm. For many, acting

:03:02.:03:05.

fast requires a change in thinking from the German leader Angela

:03:05.:03:09.

Merkel, under pressure at the meetings, to relax her insistence

:03:09.:03:13.

that governments must not borrow more to get growth moving again.

:03:13.:03:19.

But in two days' time in Brussels, at an informal EU summit, the new

:03:19.:03:24.

French President and others will push for her to relax that. At a

:03:24.:03:28.

June 10 meeting Italy joins France to try and soften the German

:03:28.:03:32.

position. They need clear plans in place, David Cameron says, by the

:03:32.:03:38.

time Greeks vote on June 17. The expectation is this man will do

:03:38.:03:43.

well in Greece's election. Alexis Tsipras believes the cuts and tax

:03:43.:03:47.

rises Greece has imposed on its people, in return for emergency

:03:47.:03:55.

loans, are not working. TRANSLATION: Do we want the support

:03:55.:03:59.

of the European Union? Yes, but we want the money of taxpayers to have

:03:59.:04:03.

results. We've had two bail out package that's went into the

:04:03.:04:07.

rubbish bin, no a bottomless pit. Here in Brussels they know there's

:04:07.:04:10.

nothing inevitable about Greece leaving the euro, but the chance

:04:10.:04:15.

that it might has increased in recent weeks. Officials have very

:04:15.:04:19.

little time to put in place sufficient safe guards to make sure

:04:19.:04:27.

that if it does go, they are ready. In a moment we'll be speaking to

:04:27.:04:30.

Mark Lowen in Athens, but first to Chicago and our political

:04:30.:04:35.

correspondent Norman Smith. Norman, how much impact do you think Mr

:04:35.:04:41.

Cameron's words will have on those countries in the eurozone? It seems

:04:41.:04:44.

to me Mr Cameron is in the inindividualious position of being

:04:44.:04:47.

outside the eurozone, desperately trying to influence decisions

:04:47.:04:52.

inside the zone. He is in the position of a rather ashen face

:04:52.:04:55.

back-seat passenger barking instructions at the motorist to

:04:55.:05:00.

avoid the oncoming traffic. His fear is if there is no clarity or

:05:00.:05:04.

decision, the risk is of a greater economic implosion with greater

:05:04.:05:07.

ramifications for Britain, which is why he has set this one-month

:05:07.:05:11.

deadline to save the euro. One month until he says eurozone

:05:11.:05:14.

leaders must decide whether Greece can stay within the single currency.

:05:14.:05:21.

But it seems to me, he personally is becoming increasingly

:05:21.:05:24.

pessimistic about the prospects for Greece staying in the currency. He

:05:24.:05:29.

is no longer talking about eurozone leaders taking decisive action.

:05:29.:05:33.

He's telling them to take decisive contingency measures n. Other words,

:05:33.:05:38.

he is telling them to begin thinking what was previously

:05:38.:05:40.

inthinkable, the break up of the single currency.

:05:40.:05:43.

Thanks very much. Let's talk to our correspondent Mark Lowen, who's in

:05:43.:05:48.

Athens. Pressure increasing on Greece to make a decision whether

:05:48.:05:54.

they want to stay in or out of the euro. What dot people there want?

:05:54.:05:58.

Most Greeks want what David Cameron and other EU leaders say could be

:05:58.:06:01.

impossible, they want to get rid of the austerity measures, cost

:06:01.:06:06.

cutting that they say have brought this country to its knees, but they

:06:06.:06:10.

want to stay in the euro. David Cameron and other leaders have said

:06:10.:06:13.

Greece can't have both. It needs to make a decision, either it accepts

:06:13.:06:17.

further cost cutting or it accepts to leave the euro. He is in a

:06:17.:06:22.

strong position in all of this, because polls show that about 75%

:06:22.:06:27.

of Greeks want to keep the euro. So if the whole election here, if the

:06:27.:06:31.

narrative here can be framed in terms of either austerity or the

:06:32.:06:34.

euro, perhaps the majority of Greeks can be persuaded to bite the

:06:34.:06:40.

bullet. There is a lot of frustration here at yet another EU

:06:40.:06:43.

leader waving into the debate, sticking to the path of austerity.

:06:43.:06:47.

Austerity has pushed up unemployment here to record levels,,

:06:47.:06:51.

a third of Greeks below the poverty line. It will be a fascinating

:06:51.:06:54.

election here. If it is a referendum on the euro, it would be

:06:54.:07:01.

a high stakes gamble for the eurozone as a whole. Thank you.

:07:01.:07:06.

The NATO leaders who are meeting in Chicago discussing relations with

:07:06.:07:09.

Afghanistan after the planned withdrawal of troops in 2014.

:07:09.:07:12.

They'll consider how much money is needed to continue to support

:07:12.:07:15.

Afghanistan and who's going to pay. Our defence correspondent Caroline

:07:15.:07:21.

Wyatt reports. Against a dramatic back drop of Soldier Field, a

:07:21.:07:25.

memorial to those who gave their lives in combat, NATO leaders

:07:25.:07:30.

gathered for the traditional family photo. A souvenir of Chicago 2012.

:07:30.:07:35.

But like any family gathering, things rarely go as smoothly as

:07:35.:07:38.

planned. Different members want different things. Here, it's France

:07:38.:07:41.

that wants to pull combat troops out of Afghanistan, sooner than

:07:41.:07:45.

NATO would like, putting France's new leader, Francois Hollande, on a

:07:45.:07:47.

collision course with the rest. Though most were keen to play it

:07:47.:07:51.

down. It's disappointing that the French have chose ton take their

:07:52.:07:56.

combat troops out by the end of this year. But it's reassuring that

:07:56.:07:59.

they've agreed they will have a continued presence, a continued

:07:59.:08:05.

involvement in the ISAF mission. Other reassurances were given by

:08:05.:08:09.

President Obama to President Karzai, even as troops begin to leave. Some

:08:09.:08:13.

NATO members are proving slow to split the bill, to pay for Afghan

:08:13.:08:15.

forces in the future. There are hope that's will be agreed on here

:08:15.:08:22.

today. By the middle of 2013, we expect the Afghan forces to be

:08:22.:08:27.

taking the lead for security right across the country. As they step

:08:28.:08:33.

forward, our focus will shift from combat to support, but we will

:08:33.:08:38.

remain combat ready. What won't be agreed is a deal with neighbouring

:08:38.:08:42.

Pakistan on re-opening its borders to NATO convoys, despite the

:08:42.:08:50.

Pakistani leader's neb lus presence here. The aim of the summit is

:08:50.:08:53.

reassure Afghanistan that NATO remains committed, while reassuring

:08:53.:08:57.

voters in the West that soon their forces will be home. Not soon

:08:57.:09:02.

enough, though, for the demonstrators outside the summit,

:09:02.:09:04.

expressing their frustration for the war that's lasted more than a

:09:04.:09:09.

decade and cost thousands of lives and billions of dollars. While

:09:09.:09:17.

other spending has been cut back. A mother and father ah, cuesed of

:09:17.:09:21.

murdering their teenage daughter v, gone on trial. 17-year-old Shafilea

:09:21.:09:26.

Ahmed disappeared from her home in Warrington in September 2003. Her

:09:26.:09:29.

remains were found in Cumbria five months later. Her parents deny

:09:29.:09:31.

murder. Judith Moritz is at Chester Crown

:09:31.:09:41.
:09:41.:09:42.

Court and joins us now. What's happened in court so far? Ist car

:09:42.:09:49.

Ahmed and his wife listened as the case against them were set out.

:09:49.:09:53.

They heard how they embarked on a campaign of domestic violence

:09:53.:09:57.

against their daughter designed so she would behave in the way they

:09:57.:10:00.

expected. The court heard that she was a young British girl, of

:10:00.:10:04.

Pakistani origin, and that her parents had set out standards for

:10:04.:10:07.

her that she was reluctant to follow. In particular the jury

:10:07.:10:10.

heard she wanted to have boyfriends, in common with lots of teenage

:10:10.:10:15.

girls. That caused great friction at home, they were told. So on

:10:15.:10:19.

several occasions the jury heard that she ran away from home. One

:10:19.:10:22.

time she drank bleach in what was called an act of desperation. That

:10:22.:10:26.

happened the court heard, when she was in Pakistan. The prosecution

:10:26.:10:33.

say she was take thrn to be married against her will. We heard Shafilea

:10:33.:10:37.

Ahmed had gone missing from home on September 11, 2003, she wasn't

:10:37.:10:42.

reported missing by her family. A week later, it was a teacher who

:10:42.:10:46.

reported her missing. Then her body was discovered four months later,

:10:47.:10:50.

some distance away in Cumbria. The point about this case, the jury

:10:50.:10:54.

have been told today, the reason it's taken so long to come to trial

:10:55.:11:00.

here is that it wasn't until August last year when Shafilea Ahmed's

:11:00.:11:04.

sister told police that she saw their parents murder her that this

:11:04.:11:08.

trial then began, the process of coming to court. It's important to

:11:08.:11:18.

say both her parents deny murder. Thank you.

:11:18.:11:21.

The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, Sir John Lyon has

:11:21.:11:25.

launched an inquiry into whether the Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt,

:11:25.:11:28.

failed to register several donations from media companies

:11:28.:11:30.

while the Conservatives were in Opposition. It follows a complaint

:11:30.:11:33.

from a Labour MP. Our Political Correspondent, Ben Geoghegan is at

:11:33.:11:40.

Westminster. Ben, what do we know about these donations? These are

:11:40.:11:44.

donations described as donations in the register of MPs' financial

:11:44.:11:47.

interests. In fact what they refer to are a series of sponsored

:11:47.:11:52.

meetings that were set up by various media companies when the

:11:52.:11:55.

Conservatives were in Opposition. These are meetings that were set up

:11:55.:12:01.

in order to inform members of the Conservative frontbench about

:12:01.:12:05.

developments in the media. What the commissioner will be looking into

:12:05.:12:10.

is an apparent discrepancy in the records that MPs gave of their

:12:10.:12:16.

attendance or otherwise at those meetings. Ed vaizy says he went to

:12:16.:12:21.

eight of these meetings. He said they amounted to about �27,000 to

:12:21.:12:25.

set these meetings up. That's the amount of money that he benefited

:12:25.:12:31.

from. He also said in his declaration that the Culture

:12:31.:12:34.

Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, attended those meetings as well. But at the

:12:34.:12:40.

time, the register did not reflect that. It's only recently that Mr

:12:40.:12:43.

Hunt has updated the records to reflect the fact he attended three

:12:43.:12:48.

out of eight meetings. He has now corrected the record. His officials

:12:48.:12:55.

say it was due to miscommunication. Thank you.?. The Business Secretary

:12:55.:12:58.

Vince Cable has criticised a Government commissioned report that

:12:58.:13:02.

says it should be easier for companies to sack workers. The idea

:13:02.:13:09.

for so-called no-fault dismissals is included in a report by Adrian

:13:09.:13:12.

Beecroft, which will be published this week. David Cameron said the

:13:12.:13:16.

proposals will be examined and they're expected to be supported by

:13:16.:13:19.

some Tory MPs, but not by the Liberal Democrats.

:13:19.:13:23.

Britain has already got a very flexible, cooperative labour force.

:13:23.:13:28.

This is what you see here in this steel plant, the workforce have

:13:28.:13:33.

made a lot of this happen. Last week I was at Ellesmere Port where

:13:33.:13:37.

we have General Motors investing in Vauxhall. One of the things that

:13:37.:13:39.

attracted them is that British workers are cooperative and

:13:39.:13:42.

flexible. We don't need to scare the whits out of workers with

:13:42.:13:48.

threats to dismiss them. It's the wrong approach. It's emerged that

:13:48.:13:52.

police forces in England, Wales and Northern Ireland have been storing

:13:52.:13:54.

hundreds of body parts and human organs for far longer than

:13:54.:14:00.

necessary. An audit by the Association of Chief Police

:14:00.:14:03.

Officers found almost 500 samples, some of which relate to cases from

:14:03.:14:07.

as far back as 50 years ago. Police are now in the process of informing

:14:07.:14:13.

people's families. The funeral for Abdel Basset Ali

:14:13.:14:17.

al-Megrahi, the only man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing in 1988 is

:14:17.:14:22.

taking place in Libya today. He died from prostate cancer at his

:14:22.:14:25.

home in Tripoli yesterday. He was released from prison on

:14:25.:14:27.

compassionate grounds by the Scottish Government three years ago.

:14:27.:14:30.

This report from our World Affairs Correspondent, Bridget Kendall,

:14:30.:14:39.

contains flash photography. Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi on his sick

:14:39.:14:43.

bed in Libya last year after the Gaddafi regime fell, the only man

:14:43.:14:46.

ever convicted of the Lockerbie bombing. With his funeral today,

:14:46.:14:50.

one chapter ends, but does his death mean the full story of what

:14:50.:14:56.

happened may never be told? Outside their home in Tripoli yesterday,

:14:56.:15:00.

relatives prepared for today's funeral. The family has always

:15:00.:15:04.

insisted that the UN-sponsored court case, that led to al-

:15:04.:15:07.

Megrahi's imprisonment in a Scottish jail, made him a scapegoat

:15:07.:15:15.

and the real culprits haven't been There was something strange about

:15:15.:15:21.

the case, said his older brother. He asked why he was the only person

:15:21.:15:27.

convicted of the act. The devastation caused by the explosion

:15:27.:15:33.

of the Pan Am flight 103 jet over Lockerbie in 1988 killed 270 people.

:15:33.:15:37.

A memorial there bares homage to their deaths. Among the relatives

:15:38.:15:41.

of victims in America, most are convinced of Abdel Basset Ali al-

:15:41.:15:45.

Megrahi's guilt, but think he could not have done it on his own.

:15:45.:15:50.

There is more to the story that must be solved. We need more truth

:15:50.:15:55.

to come out. We need more of the criminals involved in the bombing.

:15:55.:16:02.

We need them to be exposed. 2009 and Abdel Basset Ali al-

:16:02.:16:08.

Megrahi arrives home to a triumphant welcome in Libya, after

:16:08.:16:12.

being controversially released from jail. Now both he and gad good gad

:16:12.:16:16.

are dead. Libya's new government say it is has not shut the file,

:16:17.:16:22.

but will the full truth ever come out? A suicide bomb attack in Yemen

:16:22.:16:26.

has killed dozens of people and injured hundreds more. The attack

:16:26.:16:32.

near the palace in the capital of Sanaa happened when a man in army

:16:32.:16:38.

uniform detonated explosives as the unit was practising for a parade.

:16:38.:16:43.

Let's speak to our Security Correspondent, Frank Gardiner. Do

:16:43.:16:48.

we know what went on and who may be hind this? Well, I think that some

:16:48.:16:54.

may be thinking that Yemen is a distant place to go to, so why

:16:54.:17:00.

should this matter, but it is in Yemen that Al-Qaeda has its most

:17:00.:17:03.

dangerous branch. What has happened today is that a

:17:03.:17:10.

man dressed in a military uniform had an explosive built belt on

:17:10.:17:16.

beneath the uniform. He detonated it in the crowd there. That was in

:17:16.:17:20.

a rehearsal for tomorrow's Unification Parade. They told the

:17:20.:17:25.

media privately that they did it, that it was a message to the Yemeni

:17:25.:17:30.

new President to expect a new quarter from them. There is a

:17:30.:17:36.

ongoing campaign, backed by the US, to expose Al-Qaeda from Yemen. Only

:17:36.:17:40.

Al-Qaeda are capable of doing such a big and powerful and devastating

:17:40.:17:44.

explosion as this. Thank you very much.

once and for all if they want to stay in the Euro.

Tributes have been paid to the Bee Gees singer and songwriter, Robin

:18:26.:18:32.

Gibb, who has died at cancer -- off cancer at the age of 62. Robin Gibb

:18:32.:18:38.

formed the band with his brothers, Maurice and Barry. They sold over00

:18:38.:18:42.

million records, the hits including How Deep Is Your Love.

:18:42.:18:46.

He is one of the most successful songwriters in British music

:18:46.:18:50.

history. We look back at his life.

:18:50.:18:57.

# I feel I'm going back to Massachusetts # With his slightly

:18:57.:19:03.

quavering voice, Robin Gibb was a 17-year-old toothy man, who was

:19:03.:19:06.

also playing number ones. He performed in the Bee Gees for more

:19:06.:19:10.

than ten years. Is it true you write your own

:19:10.:19:16.

pieces, Barry? Robin, here in the middle, had begun performing when

:19:17.:19:21.

the Gibb family moved from Manchester to Australia. A DJ

:19:21.:19:26.

spotlighted them and called them the Bee Gees.

:19:26.:19:33.

Next to Lennon and McCartney there has been nothing like this

:19:33.:19:37.

phenomena of the Bee Gees. We have heard rumours that the

:19:37.:19:41.

group is splitting up, can you verify that? If I were to say this

:19:41.:19:46.

was true, I would be the President of Russia! Despite what Robin said

:19:46.:19:51.

in public, there were tensions, Robin left at one point, feeling

:19:51.:19:56.

that Barry was getting all of the attention, but they reformed and in

:19:56.:20:02.

the '70s created a new sound. At the peak of Saturday Night Fever,

:20:02.:20:06.

there were five tunes by Robin and his brothers in the US top ten at

:20:06.:20:11.

the same time, the back lash, though, led to the brothers wriing

:20:11.:20:18.

for other artists. Islands in the Stream, Guilty, for Barbara

:20:18.:20:26.

Streisand and Heartbreaker for Dionne Warwick.

:20:26.:20:29.

They were wonderful songwriters. They wrote songs that everybody

:20:29.:20:34.

could sing. # Suddenly everything I ever wanted

:20:34.:20:40.

had passed me by... # Robin had a wonderful, witty sense of humour.

:20:40.:20:49.

He will certainly be missed. Teetotal, vegetarian and rather

:20:49.:20:52.

unconventional, but his legacy are those songs.

:20:52.:20:57.

I can't think of Robin without thinking of Barry and Maurice, they

:20:58.:21:02.

were just the best band, for me, the best band. They were wonderful

:21:03.:21:07.

singers, great writers, so I am very sad.

:21:07.:21:14.

# We're living in a world fools, breaking a spell... # There were

:21:14.:21:19.

some solo hits, but his place in history is with his brothers, one

:21:19.:21:24.

of pop's greatest song writing teams.

Robin Gibb, who has died at the age of 62.

The actress Carey Mulligan has become an ambassador for the

:21:32.:21:38.

Alzheimer's disease to help to promote awareness of the condition.

:21:38.:21:43.

Her grandmother was diagnosed with the disease eight years ago.

:21:43.:21:48.

Strong bonds across generations. Carey Mulligan, here with her

:21:48.:21:53.

mother, Nano, spent many happy childhood holidays with her

:21:53.:21:59.

grandmother, who she calls Nans. Eight years ago, she was diagnosed

:21:59.:22:04.

with Alzheimer's. The actress remembers the confuse -- the

:22:04.:22:09.

confusion as the disease took hold. He is was distressed, she could not

:22:09.:22:14.

remember my A-levels, she would go for walks, she had done them

:22:15.:22:19.

hundreds of time, then we would get a phone call it was disstressing,

:22:20.:22:26.

she was aware of what was happening to her. The more she knew this what

:22:26.:22:31.

happening, being forgetful, she was reminded of her mother who had

:22:31.:22:34.

Alzheimer's. She does not communicate very much anymore. She

:22:34.:22:41.

does not really recognise, but she has this amazing preergs for music,

:22:41.:22:46.

which she always has had. To see her light up when it is played it

:22:46.:22:53.

is a key to her and a way that we still communicate with her in a way.

:22:53.:22:57.

I'm Carey Mulligan... Now she wants to give something back. Here,

:22:57.:23:01.

joining in an art workshop for people with dementia in north

:23:01.:23:05.

London. She feels that her experience and professional could

:23:05.:23:08.

be harn ased to raise public awareness.

:23:08.:23:13.

The Alzheimer's disease hope that this can them reach a new audience

:23:13.:23:17.

to promote a wider and deeper understanding of dementia with the

:23:17.:23:24.

message that people with the condition can live well.

:23:24.:23:29.

It is day three of the Olympic Torch Relay. It's been making its

:23:29.:23:33.

way from Exeter to Taunton. There was a small hitch along the way

:23:34.:23:39.

earlier, the flame went out it was attached to the side of David

Follett's wheelchair in great Torrington at the time. The

organisers blamed a faulty burner, a replacement was lit from the so-

Cricket and England are closing in on victory on the final day of the

:23:57.:24:03.

first Test against the windsis at Lord's. At launch chasing 191 to

:24:03.:24:10.

win. The Test and it did not look like

:24:10.:24:14.

there would be a fifth day, but the stirring fight back from the windis

:24:14.:24:20.

has given them a chance of victory. It was a time for calm heads. Enter

:24:20.:24:26.

Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell. But the tourists hoped to nip a

:24:26.:24:31.

couple of wickets. Kemar Roach did a little bit of damage.

:24:31.:24:36.

Jonathan Trott lucky to find the edge, but he did not learn from his

:24:36.:24:42.

mistake. The next bail, a carbon copy with a different result.

:24:42.:24:48.

There were celebrations. It is not the West Indies attack of

:24:48.:24:54.

old, Kevin Pietersen treated it as such with a trademark shot.

:24:54.:25:00.

Underestimate them at your peril, the next ball, KP tried the came

:25:00.:25:05.

swipe and came undone, much to the mirth of his opponents. England in

:25:05.:25:10.

trouble, Cook tried to put an end to what has been a very manic

:25:10.:25:15.

Monday. He seems to have his eye on the ball, maybe too firmly at times,

:25:15.:25:19.

but all smiles after as Cook deals with the pressure. Mr Reliable

:25:19.:25:24.

coming to the forefor an England in need, the only shame is that Lord's

:25:25.:25:33.

is not packed to witness it. The Chelsea Flower Show opens today

:25:34.:25:38.

with a visit from the Queen and Prince Philip. To mark the Dymond

:25:38.:25:43.

five lions and unicorns made of flowers are on display. Corgis are

:25:43.:25:46.

expected to make an appearance too, apparently.

:25:46.:25:51.

Sophie is there for us. Well, have a look at this, it is a

:25:52.:25:56.

magical pyramid garden. It is literally the tallest structure

:25:56.:26:00.

here at the Chelsea Flower Show this year. These are gardens on top

:26:00.:26:07.

of gardens. This is an urban garden. You can see here beside me this

:26:07.:26:10.

rather strange-looking hanging basket of a seat. With me to shed

:26:11.:26:18.

light on this is Esther Rantzen. You are Chelsea regular? I am. This

:26:18.:26:24.

is the most magical show. It is proof of what you can do in such a

:26:24.:26:29.

small place. The idea to have, for example, down there, a tiny tiny

:26:29.:26:33.

greenhouse growing all sorts of vegetables there, and next to it a

:26:34.:26:39.

pear tree, then up on this level, on every level has been planted

:26:39.:26:44.

jasmine to make it fragrant in the evenings and bamboo and palms.

:26:44.:26:48.

There is even a shower! It is incredible. It looks gorgeous.

:26:48.:26:55.

Provided you are not overlooked too many neighbours! And not too cold!

:26:55.:27:01.

What is so glorious is that people think you need acres to make a

:27:01.:27:06.

garden, Diarmuid Gavin is saying you can plant what you like in a

:27:06.:27:09.

compressed space. Yes, this is Diarmuid Gavin's

:27:09.:27:12.

garden, he is a very well-known gardener.

:27:12.:27:18.

Indeed, I was on Strictly with him, he did not win so many prizes them,

:27:18.:27:22.

but we love him as he is such a good gardener.

:27:22.:27:27.

Gardens in an urban area are so important, aren't they? They really

:27:27.:27:34.

are. Historical is one of the few tris -- horticultural is one of the

:27:34.:27:37.

few industries in this countrys that has increased over the year,

:27:37.:27:41.

so that is good news. And this is a special year, it is

:27:41.:27:47.

the Queen's Dymond, the Queen is the patron of the Chelsea Flower

:27:47.:27:51.

Show? Indeed. There is a theme throughout the gardens of red,

:27:51.:28:00.

white and blue. Very patriotic. We are a nation of gardeners, why not?

:28:00.:28:05.

We are going to see about 150,000 people walking through the gates of

:28:05.:28:10.

Chelsea, but a very special day for the Queen when she comes later, I

:28:10.:28:16.

understand she will be presented with a topiary Corgi! Now, a rare

:28:16.:28:20.

ring of fire solar eclipse has appeared in the skies over Tokyo

:28:21.:28:25.

for the first time in 173 years. Millions of people across Asia

:28:25.:28:29.

rushed into the streets to witness the phenomena. The eclipse takes

:28:29.:28:34.

place when the moon is at the furthest point from the earth and

:28:34.:28:36.

does not block out the sun completely.

:28:36.:28:41.

Now, are there clear skies over Britain? The latest weather from

:28:41.:28:42.

Britain? The latest weather from Nina now.

:28:42.:28:49.

A change in the weather. We are going to see a little bit of warm,

:28:49.:28:54.

-- warmth, finally. We start to see the oranges and the yellows

:28:54.:28:58.

flooding across the map. There is warm weather coming for the country.

:28:58.:29:02.

Where we have sunshine for many it will be dry and bright. There is

:29:02.:29:06.

some cloud around. We have been seeing over the central and the

:29:06.:29:10.

eastern areas the cloud, tending to break up, but still staying

:29:10.:29:15.

overcast for some of us, but a lot of sunshine, especially towards the

:29:15.:29:19.

west. So, 4.00pm, seeing things brightening up along the south

:29:20.:29:26.

coast, the temperatures reaching 19 to 20 Celsius. Parts of the

:29:26.:29:30.

Midlands and East Anglia staying cooler and cloudier.

:29:30.:29:33.

Along the east coast of England a little more cloud. A bright

:29:33.:29:37.

afternoon to come over much of Scotland. Probably some of the best

:29:37.:29:40.

temperatures in the south-west corner.

:29:40.:29:45.

Across the Western Isles, it may be damp and drizzley, but a dry

:29:45.:29:50.

afternoon in parts of Northern Ireland. A similar story in Wales.

:29:50.:29:54.

Temperatures in Cardiff climbing to 17 Celsius. For the torch relay

:29:54.:29:58.

over parts of Devon, it will be fine with sunny spells over the

:29:58.:30:03.

next couple of hours. This evening keeping the clearer spells in the

:30:03.:30:07.

west. Likely to see the return of mist and cloud over the eastern

:30:07.:30:11.

areas. Perhaps on the chilly side for some, but for parts of England

:30:11.:30:18.

and Wales by the end of the night temperatures at 10 to 13 Celsius.

:30:18.:30:23.

In the morning a Lille bit of mist and low cloud in the south-western

:30:23.:30:27.

areas. Then burning back to the coast, and it looks like being a

:30:27.:30:37.
:30:37.:30:38.

fine day with long sunny spells. N inland the temperatures could --

:30:38.:30:43.

inland, the temperatures could reach up to 25 Celsius. Wednesday,

:30:43.:30:47.

with a little mist and low cloud in the east and the west, but for many

:30:47.:30:52.

it will be a warm and sunny day. The temperatures struggling in the

:30:52.:30:56.

east at 17 Celsius, on Thursday that mist and the low cloud

:30:56.:31:01.

persisting along the eastern coasts. By Friday a change, sunshine, that

:31:01.:31:05.

is not helping the temperatures in the east with brisk winds on Friday,

:31:05.:31:09.

but the rest of the week looks fine, dry and bright.

:31:09.:31:12.

dry and bright. More details online.
