and talented officers who were doing what police officers do day | :00:28. | :00:33. | |

:01:11. | :01:28. | ||
Good afternoon. Welcome to the BBC News at One. Police have been given | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
until tomorrow morning to continue questioning 29-year-old Dale Cregan | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
about the murders of police officers Nicola Hughes and Fiona | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
Bone in Mottram. A second man, aged 28, is also in custody. Tributes | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
are still being paid to the officers who were killed in a gun | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
and grenade attack. An online book of condolence has received more | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
than 33,000 signatures. Danny Savage is in Mottram. | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
The impression I'm getting is that police are taking this inquiry and | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
investigation very slowly. They want to do this right, to make sure | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
that justice prevails at the end of this inquiry. So here at the scene | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
of the murders, you still have dozens of police vehicles and | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
officers carrying out forensic tests. At a police station | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
somewhere in Manchester, Dale Cregan is still being questioned | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
about what happened here. For a third day, the place where | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
two unarmed police officers were murdered remains isolated. There is | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
still work to be done here. Many still feel moved enough to bring | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
floral tributes. The old bringing the young to pay their respects. | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
Among those visiting today, members of the neighbourhood team who | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
worked with the two officers who died. These weren't just colleagues, | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
these were friends. Dale Cregan is still being held over the gun and | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
grenade attack. Detectives have been granted more time to question | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
him. More tributes have also been paid to Nicola Hughes and Fiona | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
Bone, the policewoman he is suspected of killing. Fiona Bone's | :03:02. | :03:12. | |
:03:12. | :03:18. | ||
family have issued a statement We know a hand grenade was used in | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
Tuesday's murders here, but police believe there are still more | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
grenades to be recovered and people are in danger. They have issued | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
what's called Osman Warnings to those most at risk. It is used in | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
very rare instances where police have very credible intelligence | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
that someone's life is in danger. Not only in danger, but someone has | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
the ability to carry out that threat and their life is in | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
imminent danger. So although the focus of this murder inquiry is | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
here, there is also a much bigger picture. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
That bigger picture is in the virtual world as well. What you | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
have today is an arrest that's been made because of a Facebook site | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
which was set up in tribute to Dale Cregan. It described him as "some | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
sort of legend" and in the last few minutes, a senior officer from | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
Greater Manchester Police has been talking about those sort of | :04:14. | :04:22. | |
websites that have been set up and about today's arrest. Anybody who | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
perhaps wishes to take the opportunity following such a | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
tragedy to tastelessly add derogatory comments to think they | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
are poking fun at such a tragic situation will always cause a great | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
deal of emotion. I think police officers, but not just police | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
officers, ordinary members of the public - and I looked at some of | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
these websites and saw ordinary members of the public distressed at | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
some of the comments put on there. They would have wanted us to be | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
able to take positive action. That is what we have done. That's | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
obviously some sort of warning to people that are setting up what | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
many people would think are very tasteless websites in the wake of | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
these sorts of events. The country's top prosecutor has been | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
speaking about this sort of issue today. He said, "The time has come | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
for an informed debate about the boundaries of free speech in an age | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
of social media." I am sure we will be hearing a lot more about this | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
issue over the coming few days. Here at the scene of that double | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
murder, the operation continues and still no sign of this cordon being | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
lifted, with still dozens of people living around here inside that | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
cordon, and this police operation is going on around them. | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
A Conservative-run council is preparing to defy the Government | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
over its recent proposal to relax planning regulations in England. | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
Richmond Council is looking at ways of getting around David Cameron's | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
plan to allow people to build larger home extensions without | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
planning permission. David Cameron said changes to | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
planning rules that could send up the scaffolding, but also help | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
kick-start the economy. Not in this borough, not if the local | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
Conservative council gets its way. In the Council Chamber they voted | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
to defy the Prime Minister's will. We think they are totally misguided. | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
At the moment, people can build small extensions without planning | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
consent and even that causes great upset to neighbours. The proposal | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
to double the size of what you can build is totally unacceptable. | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
David Cameron and Nick Clegg return from their summer holidays, they | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
took a trip together to suburbia, to announce that they temporarily | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
would rewrite planning rules so people could extend homes like | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
these by up to eight metres without planning permission. In one council, | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
they are dead-set on stopping that from happening. Some areas will | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
still be protected. But some Conservatives worry that a rash of | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
new extensions in places like this could prove unpopular with the | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
neighbours and those neighbours might happen to be Tory voters. Of | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
course, the Government's not relying on a conservatory boom | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
alone to rescue the economy - they want to guarantee billions of | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
pounds for new homes and big- building projects as well. | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
Ministers want to give homeowners more options. We are trying to make | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
it easier for familys that are growing, kids are growing up and | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
don't want to share rooms, maybe their elderly mum has moved in with | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
them. We want to make it easier for them to expand their house so they | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
can stay in the home that they already have. But on the issue of | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
planning rules, it seems councils could have a bit of flexibility. | :07:44. | :07:54. | |
:07:54. | :07:59. | ||
The local government department How many more councillors will take | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
a look at the plans to get the builders in and say, "Not in our | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
backyards"? The country's biggest employers will be forced to provide | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
a pension scheme to all their employees. | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
The new rules will be extended to all firms over the next few years. | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
The Government says even though some will opt out, there should be | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
more than 500,000 new pension savers by the end of the year. | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
I'm in. I'm in. So what are they in? These employers and workers in | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
a Government TV ad are part of a big change to workplace pensions | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
starting next month. Bosses will have to offer their workers a | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
workplace pension. Staff will find themselves opted in to pension | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
schemes. In the first few months, it will be big employers like the | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
Co-op. Ministers visited one of the stores today to hear how it is | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
being implemented. 40,000 staff, not already in the scheme, will be | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
signed up. This is extra pay in many ways, it is not pay that you | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
get today, but it is put aside for you for the future. I think people | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
are quite positive. The number of times people have said, "It is the | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
push that I need to start saving." The figures underline the decline | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
in workplace pensions. There are eight million people in employer | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
schemes. Fewer than three million are in private schemes, the lowest | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
since the 1950s. The rest - more than five million - are in the | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
public sector. The new policy will boost the numbers. In terms of | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
Government policies that will affect people, this will be one of | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
the biggest. We know there are millions of people not saving for a | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
pension. Most of them know they should, but find it baffling and | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
this will overcome all the barriers to pension saving. A number of | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
worker also be affected by the changes from next month. If they | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
haven't joined their employer's pension scheme, they will be | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
enrolled automatically. Money will be deducted from their pay packets. | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
If they don't want to stay in, it is up to them to take the | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
initiative and opt out. Experts welcome the change but point out it | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
won't guarantee people have enough to live on in retirement. First, we | :10:13. | :10:22. | |
need to make sure people save enough. Secondly, they need to save | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
in good quality pension systems. Millions of worker also be brought | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
in as the scheme is extended to smaller companies over the next few | :10:30. | :10:38. | |
years. ALL: We are all in! The media regulator Ofcom has ruled | :10:38. | :10:42. | |

which thieves stole watches worth �500,000. Three men wearing high- | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
visibility outfits and armed with an axe and crowbars walked into | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
Selfridges and stole 100 watches. A British soldier serving in | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
Afghanistan has given birth without realising she had been pregnant. | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
The Ministry of Defence says she had the baby at the Camp Bastion | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
field hospital on Tuesday. It's believed to be the first case ever | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
of a soldier from the UK having a baby on the frontline. | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
At a field hospital, more used to dealing with death than new life, | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
it was here that the baby was born. A few days ago, the soldier | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
complained of severe stomach pains. Astonished medics said she was | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
about to give birth. Her son was delivered safely. The MoD says | :12:09. | :12:16. | |
mother and son are both in a stable condition. The female gunner had | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
conceived her child before being sepblt to Afghanistan. The MoD -- | :12:21. | :12:31. | |
:12:31. | :12:39. | ||
Doctors say it is not as unusual as many think for a woman not to | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
realise she is pregnant until shortly before giving birth. | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
remember back when I was first qualified and I looked after a | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
young 16-year-old girl who had actually presented to hospital, she | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
had been sent by her mother to do her GCSE exams in the morning and | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
she came along and had her baby and didn't realise she was pregnant. | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
This is the first time a British soldier is known to have given | :13:03. | :13:13. | |
:13:13. | :13:16. | ||
birth on the frontline. Military rules ban pregnant | :13:16. | :13:24. | |
servicewomen from frontline duties. A specialist team of medics is | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
travelling to Camp Bastion to help provide care for the soldier and | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
her baby on the RAF flight home. This unusual case is likely to fuel | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
debate over whether more medical checks are needed before the Armed | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
Forces deploy women to the frontline. | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
Now, we all know it is getting more expensive to fill the car with fuel. | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
For drivers of diesel vehicles, the price is higher. The AA is pointing | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
the finger at oil companies and speculators saying the price is | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
unfairly high. Petrol and diesel cost pretty much the same in the | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
wholesale markets so why the difference? | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
The Olympics was only a few weeks ago, but in the short time since | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
that amazing Opening Ceremony, the price of fuel has rocketed. When | :14:11. | :14:18. | |
the caldron was lit, petrol cost �1.33 a litre, today it is �1.40 a | :14:18. | :14:25. | |
litre. That adds �3.50 every time you fill an average family car. The | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
high prices are changing lives. Weekly mileage is 350 miles a week | :14:32. | :14:39. | |
and my husband's is 250 miles a week to 300. That costs us �600 a | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
month. We can't afford it any more. We will sell our house, we will buy | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
a house in Plymouth and we will move closer to work. You might be | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
old enough to remember when diesel was cheaper than petrol, but that | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
was many years ago. These days, diesel is always more expensive. | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
And that has led the AA to question whether diesel drivers are getting | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
a fair deal. We have seen the wholesale price of diesel at a | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
lower level than the wholesale price of petrol. Yet on the | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
forecourts, drivers are paying 4p a litre more. At the moment, they | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
would feel they are being ripped off. The big question then - why | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
exactly is diesel more expensive? Partly because our refining | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
capacity is old and was set up to produce fuel oil and petrol. We | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
have to import some of our diesel which pushes up prices. Diesel | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
costs more to refine than petrol. Finally, we are one of the few | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
European countries that didn't tax diesel at a lower rate than petrol. | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
That produces a higher pump price. The Government's pressing ahead | :15:43. | :15:52. | |
with a 3p fuel tax rise which is The top story: | :15:52. | :15:57. | |

Oil and gas drilling in the Arctic should be stopped until safety is | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
improved, according to a Committee of MPs. The Environmental Audit | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
Committee say it is fears that a spill could cause unprecedented | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
damage, though the oil industry say it is has the technology to cope | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
with an accident. We have this report. | :16:53. | :17:00. | |
Can we trust the oil firms to protect the Arctic? Deepwater | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
Horizon, the BP Gulf spill in 2010, was never supposed to happen. They | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
are still cleaning up. The ExxonMobil tanker crash in 1989, | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
left a mess that is still contaminating the shoreline of | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
Alaska today. Imagine this sorted of accident in the Arctic? MPs were | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
told that oil would stick to the bottom of ice flows and be carried | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
for hundreds of miles. Bad weather could make a clean-up impossible. | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
Oil firms wanting to exploit the Arctic's riches do have plans in | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
case of a spill. This is a Shell clean-up exercise, but the MPs | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
don't think that the laws are tough enough. | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
Drilling for oil and gas in the Arctic is different from drilling | :17:44. | :17:52. | |
for oil and gas in other offshore circumstances elsewhere. It is a | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
wilderness pristine environment, the conditions are far different. | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
We have to have a regulatory regime that is fit for purpose. | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
An Arctic wildlife sanctuary should be created too, the MPs say. They | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
want the UN to intervene, but who will list snn the MPs say that | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
governance in the Arctic is weak. Incentives for drilling are strong. | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
We are all a tiny bit to blame for the pressure on the Arctic. Modern | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
societies use vast amounts of oil. It is hardly surprising that | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
governments are reluctant to turn off potential sources of supply. It | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
is what makes governing the Arctic so very difficult. This year's | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
massive melt of Arctic summer ice, captured by nasaway, may help to | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
focus minds. The region is warming dramatically, but the political | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
leaders have shown that in any clash between oil and the | :18:49. | :18:58. | |
environment, it is oil that normally wins. | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
Scotland's Finance Secretary, John Swinney, is to announce spending | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
plans this afternoon, promising pursuit of growth. It is thought he | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
will signal an end to the public sector pay freeze from next year | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
with a modest pay increase, but the room for manoeuvre is limited. | :19:15. | :19:18. | |

James, what is expected in the Budget? Well, what is happening is | :19:22. | :19:29. | |
that this is the Budget for 2013/14 to be set out by the Scottish | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
Finance Secretary, John Swinney. He has �28 .4 billion to spend A | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
figure set by the UK Treasury. He cannot borrow more, he must operate | :19:38. | :19:46. | |
in the constraints. What, as you say, he is likely to do is to look | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
at the public sector pay freeze and that you it slightly. Although not | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
so warming, perhaps up to 1% for the public sector workers under his | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
control. He is looking also at shifting money from a day-to-day | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
spending into capital spending, into infrastructure projects and so | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
on, to boost the economy, to drive jobs and growth, but this is year | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
three of a four-year Budget that we are looking at. He has set the | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
priorities over the -- over the four years so we are looking at | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
tweaks rather than dramatic changes, but the Labour Party complained | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
that last year's budget hit housing and colleges hard so, they and | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
others will be scrutinising John Swinney's Budget line by line this | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
year to see who is being affected this time around. The reason for | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
that is that this is the toughest financial set that this Parliament | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
has ever had to deal with since being set up in 1999. There is | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
simply little money to go around. Thank you very much. | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
Money intended for poorer pupils in England is not getting to them. It | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
is used to fill gaps in school budgets. That is the concern raised | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
by Ofsted. The pupil premium, seen as a cornerstone of the education | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
policy in England cost �1.25 billion this year alone. Now there | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
are calls to ring-fence the money to ensure it goes where it is most | :21:10. | :21:17. | |
needed. Schools with large numbers of | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
disadvantaged pupils have received sizeable sums from the pupil | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
premium. This is one. Two thirds of the children here at | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
this academy in London are eligible for the money, that is targeted at | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
those from poorer families. The head used it to employ extra staff | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
and to reduce the class sizes for ten-year-olds. She says it is | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
paying off. This class is a small class. We | :21:42. | :21:50. | |
have two small classes in two years year two and year five. Those are | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
pivotal years. This is a pilot we are monitoring closely. | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
Any child eligible for free school meals in the last six years, gets | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
the pupil premium given to the school. It is worth �600 per pupil, | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
costing the Government �1..25 billion. This school has seen | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
academic results among the poorer children improve, but work carried | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
out by Ofsted suggests in many schools it has not made a | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
difference. It says that is not good enough. | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
Schools are not using the pupil premium money effectively. 50% of | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
schools surveyed said it made little or no difference to the way | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
they operated. That is fine if they can demonstrate that the poor | :22:36. | :22:43. | |
children are catching up with their more prosperous counterparts. | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
Schools can use the pupil premium as they wish, meaning it can be | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
absorbed into the overall budgets, but one teaching union says other | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
cuts to funding meant it was not really extra money. | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
Schools are doing their best to maintain provision that they had | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
previously, but they have had cuts to their base budgets. So the pupil | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
premium is not really new money it is money that is supporting | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
existing school budgets. This is a flagship policy, the | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
ministers need it to be a winner. If schools cannot show results, | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
Ofsted says that the Government should ring-fence the money so it | :23:19. | :23:27. | |
is more aimed at those who need it Now, a new restaurant in Cardiff is | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
offering something of a captivating dining experience, that is because | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
it opened in a prison. The food is made and served by low-risk | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
prisoners nearing the end of their sentence. | :23:39. | :23:46. | |
So it is not just time that they are serving, then? No, the Clink | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
Cymru started life in Surrey first of all. The diners go through | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
security and eat with knives and plastic forks. | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
It offers the diners the opportunity to taste a small bit of | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
prison life. Meet the chefs serving a long stretch. The Clink Cymru | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
offers fresh crab ravioli and goat's cheese hearts. | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
They hope that work here helps to prepare them to release -- be | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
released back into the community. It is a good experience, my first | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
ever proper job. How different is it to the life you | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
had before entering prison? Before coming to prison I led the easy | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
life. Here you have to work for it. The food at the restaurant is a | :24:33. | :24:41. | |
world away from the -- what the inmates eat themselves. | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
The Clink denies that they are exploited, they are paid �12. | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
Most of the workers here are within months of finishing their sentences | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
on that programme. The ministers say it is not an | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
unfair advantage when it comes to competing for work when they leave. | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
We are not in the business of running a luex rouse regime in | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
British prisons, but prison is not just about punishment, prison is | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
also about public protection, it is also about rehabilitation. | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
If it is to survive the fickle restaurant business, the Clink | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
Cymru will have to be more than just a novelty. The first diners | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
seemed impressed with the quality of the food. | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
I have had the rabbit it is absolutely delicious. | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
The atmosphere here is lovely. It is much more relaxed than I thought | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
it would be. The decor is fantastic. I work for the Prison Service. So | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
coming here today was a tester, I thought it was excellent. I chose | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
the beef cheeks, which I was expecting to be tender. They are in | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
a red wine sauce which is very rirb, but very nice. | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
The Ministry of Justice has plans to open two Clings a year across | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
the UK. Meaning that fine dining behind bars could be on the way it | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
a prison near you. -- Clinks. | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
This is the first day open to the public. There are popular dishes | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
already, but no porridge in the menu! However, they are taking | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
bookings for Christmas parties. Thank you very much. | :26:17. | :26:24. | |
The world-famous Grand National run of Aintree is to undergo changes | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
following the deaths of two horses this year. There will be fence | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
design, landing areas and further areas of irrigation to be | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
implemented before the end of the race in 2013. | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
The changes have been welcomed, but there was disappointment that there | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
was not a trial of the number of running horses. | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
running horses. Now the weather. | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
Well, a day of mixed fortunes today. For many places a lot of cloud this | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
afternoon and rain as well. We are not all going to see that rain. It | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
is mainly down to a slow-moving weather front, draped over parts of | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
Northern Ireland and Scotland. Either side of that, there is drier | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
and brighter weather in prospect. Some of that rain will be filtering | :27:13. | :27:23. | |
:27:23. | :27:26. | ||
over parts of num -- north um better land and Cumberland too. A | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
chance of one or two coastal showers. Most places to the south- | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
west of England dry and fine. 16 Celsius at best. Some sunshine into | :27:35. | :27:41. | |
the eastern parts of Wales. In the west a few sharp showers. A chance | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
of showers over the Isle of Man. For Northern Ireland the rain sets | :27:45. | :27:50. | |
in this after noon, becoming heavy and persistent, especially in the | :27:50. | :27:55. | |
north. The rain heavy in Argyll and Bute, where there could be as much | :27:55. | :27:59. | |
as two inches of rainfall. The far north getting away with a | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
fine end to the day with one or two showers only. The rain band sinking | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
to the south, the heaviest of the rain petering out, but a | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
damp.cloudy night to come for many parts of England and Wales. In the | :28:11. | :28:16. | |
north fresher air spilling in, but it means a better day in store for | :28:16. | :28:22. | |
Northern Ireland and Scotland. Tomorrow it is sunshine and within | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
or two showers for Scotland and Northern Ireland. The showers | :28:25. | :28:29. | |
filtering to the north of Wales. To the south, where we keep the | :28:29. | :28:35. | |
cloud, there are spots of rain. Temperatures up to 12 in the north, | :28:35. | :28:39. | |
16 Celsius in the south. At the weekend high pressure is | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
taking charge for Saturday. Cast your eyes to the south-west, this | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
weather system is waiting in the wings. That could be a trouble | :28:46. | :28:49. | |
maker by Sunday. For Saturday, at least, one day of glorious sunshine | :28:49. | :28:54. | |
for many of us it is looking dry and fine, feeling pleasant with the | :28:54. | :28:59. | |
light winds and temperatures of up to 16 Celsius. Sunday, there is | :28:59. | :29:04. | |
uncertainty, but it looks like this low pressure system contains | :29:04. | :29:09. | |
tropical air so, warm, wet and windy spreading in over the south | :29:09. | :29:12. | |
of the UK. The weekend weather: Saturday is | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
looking dry and bright. By Sunday, more of a chance that things are | :29:16. | :29:21. | |
turning wet and windy. More details on the weekend weather. | :29:22. | :29:26. | |
