changed and due to the passage of time and the developments within

:01:39.:01:50.

Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. The man who's been

:01:50.:01:52.

held in connection with the disappearance of five-year-old

:01:52.:01:55.

April Jones has now been arrested on suspicion of her murder. Mark

:01:55.:01:58.

Bridger, who's 46, was first arrested on Tuesday - a day after

:01:58.:02:03.

April was seen climbing into a vehicle near her home in Mid Wales.

:02:03.:02:06.

This morning, police said they would not stop their efforts to

:02:06.:02:09.

find April but they appealed to the public to leave the search to

:02:09.:02:18.

specialist teams now. Jon Brain is in Machynlleth. Well, today's

:02:18.:02:22.

announcement of a murder arrest is really the first public

:02:22.:02:25.

acknowledgement by the police that they believe April is no longer

:02:25.:02:29.

alive. A huge blow for a town here which has been searching for her

:02:29.:02:35.

for five days. But this is now purely a criminal investigation.

:02:35.:02:40.

Mark Bridger has been in police custody since Tuesday on suspicion

:02:40.:02:44.

of abducting April. At a news conference this morning the police

:02:44.:02:50.

announced they now believe he is responsible for her death. Mark

:02:50.:02:56.

Bridger has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of April

:02:56.:03:01.

Jones. He remains in custody at Aberystwyth police station and

:03:02.:03:08.

continues to be questioned. The arrest does not detract from our

:03:08.:03:13.

efforts to locate April and we remain committed to finding her.

:03:13.:03:19.

But it means any ling everying hopes of finding April alive have

:03:19.:03:22.

all but evaporated. What exactly happened to the five-year-old still

:03:22.:03:30.

isn't clear. Search teams are out again today,

:03:30.:03:34.

but they're now looking for April's body. And for evidence to aid a

:03:34.:03:38.

criminal prosecution. Although the area of the search operation

:03:38.:03:42.

remains a vast one the teams keep returning to this one particular

:03:42.:03:48.

spot at the river Dovey, it's yards from where Bridge Night was arrest

:03:48.:03:56.

-- Mark Bridger was reu rested -- April went missing from near her

:03:56.:04:02.

home at 7.00pm on Monday evening. Bridge Night was arrested on

:04:02.:04:09.

Tuesday afternoon while walking along the A847. On Wednesday,

:04:09.:04:16.

detectives released a photograph of his Land Rover Discovery. The next

:04:16.:04:21.

day police searched a small farmhouse in a nearby village where

:04:21.:04:24.

Bridger lived most recently. This morning he has been arrested on

:04:24.:04:27.

suspicion of murder. Stkpwhrp. The volunteers who have

:04:27.:04:31.

been looking for April were crestfallen by today's developments.

:04:31.:04:35.

Some are still clinging on to the belief she may be alive.

:04:35.:04:39.

This child has not been found. We still have hope. I have been saying

:04:39.:04:44.

this from the very beginning. We still have hope until somebody

:04:44.:04:49.

tells us anything different. That's what the town of Machynlleth is

:04:49.:04:56.

going to say. We still have hope. Hope shared by classmates at

:04:56.:05:00.

April's school. The little girl's teddy bear is the centrepiece of a

:05:00.:05:05.

special tribute. This lunchtime it's emerged that

:05:05.:05:09.

Mark Bridger attended the same school parents' evening as April's

:05:09.:05:13.

parents on Monday night. April received such a glowing report from

:05:13.:05:16.

her teacher that her mother allowed her extra play time outside as a

:05:17.:05:23.

treat. It was during that play time that she was taken.

:05:23.:05:26.

Jeremy Cooke is outside Aberystwyth Magistrates' court.

:05:26.:05:29.

The fact that he has now been arrested on suspicion of murder

:05:29.:05:33.

doesn't change the fact that the police only have until 5.00pm this

:05:33.:05:38.

afternoon to question him at the moment. That's right, at the moment

:05:38.:05:41.

Bridge Night is being questioned -- Mark Bridger is being questioned a

:05:41.:05:45.

short distance from here, of course being questioned now in connection

:05:45.:05:50.

with the alleged murder of five- year-old April Jones. The time they

:05:50.:05:54.

got to speak to him runs out at around 5.00pm this afternoon. They

:05:54.:05:58.

would have to charge him or release him at this point but we are here

:05:58.:06:01.

at the magistrates court because we expect that during the course of

:06:01.:06:05.

the afternoon it may well be that Mark Bridger is brought here for

:06:05.:06:08.

another closed session. Detectives are asking the magistrates for an

:06:08.:06:13.

extension in the time they can have to question Mark Bridger. If they

:06:13.:06:17.

are granted that, it would take us into late tomorrow afternoon,

:06:17.:06:23.

Saturday, early evening. Then they would have to decide whether to

:06:23.:06:32.

charge this individual or release him.

:06:32.:06:35.

The UK faces a greater risk of power shortages in the next few

:06:35.:06:38.

years as coal-fired power plants are forced to close. EU

:06:38.:06:41.

environmental legislation means the plants will no longer be able to

:06:41.:06:43.

generate power. The energy regulator says it expects the risk

:06:43.:06:47.

of an energy shortfall to be at its highest in three years' time, when

:06:47.:06:51.

the spare capacity in the system will fall from 14% to just 4%. Our

:06:51.:06:56.

industry correspondent John Moylan reports.

:06:56.:07:00.

Is this a vision of Britain in just a few years' time? With power cuts

:07:00.:07:05.

and energy shortages? According to the industry regulator, the risk of

:07:05.:07:10.

this happening has increased. report which looks at the spare

:07:10.:07:13.

electricity capacity on the system shows that spare capacity is going

:07:13.:07:19.

down from around 14% now to around 4% in three years' time. Now any

:07:19.:07:23.

decrease in capacity margin will increase the risk of electricity

:07:23.:07:27.

shorpbgs -- shortages. It's a warning light to us. The problem is

:07:27.:07:31.

that many of our older more polluting power plants have to

:07:31.:07:41.
:07:41.:07:44.

close due to EU environmental targets.

:07:44.:07:53.

In March next year much of this plant will be turned off.

:07:53.:07:59.

Ofgem says the probability of a blackout has increased from one in

:07:59.:08:07.

3300 years now to one in 12 by 2015. What's needed is more investment.

:08:07.:08:10.

The Government's energy bill, which due to be published in the coming

:08:10.:08:14.

weeks, is intended to pave the way for a new generation of nuclear,

:08:14.:08:19.

wind and gas-fired plants. Companies say that can't happen

:08:19.:08:23.

soon enough. We have for sometime been concerned that the absence of

:08:23.:08:28.

haeufpg the -- having the energy bill that gives regulation and

:08:28.:08:32.

regulatory OK has left uncertainty and has made investment decisions

:08:32.:08:36.

not come forward. Today the Government said it would like to

:08:36.:08:41.

see more spare capacity on the system, but that the forecast drop

:08:41.:08:45.

to just 4% was adequate and only represented a low risk to

:08:45.:08:55.
:08:55.:08:55.

households. The Chief Constable of Cleveland

:08:55.:08:57.

Police, Sean Price, has been sacked for gross misconduct. A

:08:58.:09:00.

disciplinary hearing found that he lied to the Independent Police

:09:00.:09:02.

Complaints Commission about his role in recruiting the daughter of

:09:03.:09:06.

a former Police Authority chairman to a civilian role in the force. He

:09:06.:09:09.

also instructed a member of staff to lie. Danny Savage is in

:09:09.:09:13.

Cleveland. Tell us more about this, Danny. Well, Sean Price has been

:09:13.:09:19.

the Chief Constable here since since 2003 but he has become the

:09:19.:09:24.

first officer of the rank to be dismissed for 35 years. This

:09:24.:09:28.

surrounded allegations of him lying to the Independent Police

:09:28.:09:31.

Complaints Commission who are investigating the appointment of a

:09:31.:09:34.

female civilian worker here. She was the daughter of the former

:09:34.:09:38.

chairman of the Police Authority here in Cleveland and Sean Price is

:09:38.:09:42.

said to have lied to the IPCC about that, but more seriously, say the

:09:43.:09:46.

Police Authority here, he then pressured a more junior colleague

:09:46.:09:51.

also to lie to the IPCC about what happened. Now, they have said that

:09:51.:09:55.

his behaviour was shameful, that he intimidated and bullied his staff,

:09:55.:09:59.

but Sean Price says the decision reached was incorrect. The Police

:09:59.:10:02.

Authority here in Cleveland say this is about one man and shouldn't

:10:02.:10:05.

affect the way the public perceive the police in this area. But there

:10:05.:10:10.

is a wider picture here, as well, something like six officers have

:10:10.:10:13.

been investigated over a variety of allegations nationwide at the

:10:13.:10:16.

moment. It shows what sort of public scrutiny those officers are

:10:16.:10:25.

under. Three Kenyans who claim they were

:10:25.:10:27.

tortured by British colonial authorities have been told they can

:10:27.:10:30.

proceed with compensation claims against the Government. The two men

:10:30.:10:33.

and a woman were detained during the Kenyan emergency in the 1950s

:10:33.:10:36.

on suspicion of being involved in the Mau Mau uprising. The

:10:36.:10:39.

Government says it will appeal against the High Court's decision.

:10:39.:10:45.

Peter Biles reports. The court proceedings have lasted

:10:45.:10:49.

less than tpoeuf minutes, the judge ruled even though incidents of

:10:49.:10:53.

torture took place in Kenya nearly 60 years ago a fair trial is still

:10:53.:10:57.

possible. Those who have been supporting the Mau Mau veterans in

:10:57.:11:00.

their efforts to sue the British Government were delighted by the

:11:00.:11:04.

judgment. Today was an historic day in terms of bringing the British

:11:04.:11:07.

Government to book for what it did all those years ago. Our clients

:11:07.:11:11.

are absolutely delighted but not just the three of them, but all the

:11:11.:11:14.

other thousands of Kenyans who will be able to use this judgment to get

:11:14.:11:19.

justice as well for them but also perhaps for all the other colonies

:11:19.:11:24.

where similar sorts of abuse occurred, that for all of them this

:11:24.:11:28.

will be a major day. It was one of the darker periods of Britain's

:11:28.:11:32.

colonial past. The Mau Mau uprising was a rebellion against British

:11:32.:11:36.

rule in Kenya. During a state of emergency in the 1950s, the three

:11:37.:11:40.

claimants who brought this case say they were brutally tortured while

:11:40.:11:46.

in detention. Kenyans were waiting in Nairobi

:11:46.:11:50.

today for the news from London. The claimants had given evidence at the

:11:50.:11:54.

High Court earlier this year and this was another important judgment

:11:54.:11:58.

in the struggle for justice. Absolutely thrilling. You can see

:11:58.:12:04.

it for yourselves. Everybody yourselves. The Foreign Office said

:12:04.:12:07.

said it was disappointed and plans to appeal. The Government's

:12:07.:12:10.

argument has been there could not be a fair trial so long after

:12:10.:12:14.

atrocities were committed. A full trial could still be a year away.

:12:14.:12:19.

It's no longer disputed the torture did take place in Kenya in the is

:12:19.:12:29.
:12:29.:12:29.

the 50s pwrb pwrb in the 1950s but they still want an apology and

:12:29.:12:36.

recompense for what happened. After years of legal wrangling,

:12:36.:12:40.

High Court judges are about to give a final ruling on a legal bid by

:12:40.:12:43.

Abu Hamza and four other terrorism suspects, to stop their extradition

:12:43.:12:45.

to the United States. Our home affairs correspondent June Kelly is

:12:45.:12:48.

at the High Court. This is very much a last ditch

:12:48.:12:51.

attempt, isn't it? That's right. This has been a legal marathon, but

:12:51.:12:56.

this really is the end game now for Abu Hamza. This afternoon we will

:12:56.:12:59.

learn whether he is going to be put on a plane to the United States.

:12:59.:13:02.

There's been a demonstration here this morning in support of Abu

:13:02.:13:08.

Hamza and some of the other terror suspects also facing extradition.

:13:08.:13:13.

Abu Hamza's lawyers argued here that the extradition should be

:13:13.:13:21.

played -- -- delayed one more time until his mental health had been

:13:21.:13:27.

assessed. Now the judges here gave that short shrift and said they

:13:27.:13:29.

were decent medical facilities in America. They've given the

:13:29.:13:34.

impression they want to crack on with this and bring it to a

:13:34.:13:42.

conclusion. In over an hour's time we will all learn his fate.

:13:42.:13:44.

The Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police - who was

:13:44.:13:47.

criticised in a report last month on the Hillsborough disaster - is

:13:47.:13:51.

to retire next March. Sir Norman Bettison has always denied taking

:13:51.:13:53.

part in a cover-up of police failings. He said he hoped his

:13:53.:13:55.

departure would allow the Independent Police Complaints

:13:55.:14:00.

Commission to examine his conduct thoroughly.

:14:00.:14:04.

This was Sir Norman Bettison last weekend at the national police

:14:04.:14:07.

memorial service, West Yorkshire's Chief Constable was due to leave

:14:07.:14:11.

his post in 2014. Last night, he said he would go in six months

:14:11.:14:16.

instead. Today, there was no sign of Sir Norman at his home. Last

:14:16.:14:20.

night he linked his decision to go to events in recent weeks which

:14:20.:14:24.

have seen the publication of the Hillsborough report. The judgment

:14:24.:14:30.

was that the chief clearly has had to - that decision was about how

:14:30.:14:34.

much of a distraction the matters relating to Hillsborough following

:14:34.:14:38.

the report were going to be. So, we understand and we support that

:14:38.:14:45.

decision. 96 Liverpool fans died as a result of crushing at the

:14:45.:14:49.

Hillsborough stadium in 1989. A Taylor Inquiry found that South

:14:49.:14:53.

Yorkshire Police were to blame. At the time, Sir Norman was an

:14:53.:14:57.

inspector. The report found that he was involved in an intensive

:14:57.:15:01.

efforts to promote the police and smear the fans. For 23 years, those

:15:01.:15:04.

bereaved by Hillsborough have campaigned for the truth about how

:15:04.:15:08.

their relatives died. With the publication last month of the

:15:08.:15:11.

Hillsborough Independent Panel Report, they feel they've achieved

:15:11.:15:16.

that aim and they now have much more information about how officers,

:15:16.:15:19.

including Sir Norman Bettison, behaved in the aftermath of the

:15:19.:15:27.

tragedy. The Hillsborough campaign groups have long wanted Sir Norman

:15:27.:15:33.

to go. Today, they welcomed his decision to leave. But with

:15:33.:15:37.

reservations. There is a difference on retiring but actually getting

:15:37.:15:40.

the sack on your full pension, without your full pension. That's

:15:40.:15:44.

our goal, we have got to make sure we take that knighthood away, we

:15:45.:15:50.

get rid of that and he does not retire on a full pension.

:15:50.:15:53.

Norman has always denied amending police statements as part of a

:15:53.:15:57.

coverup. The Association of Chief Police Officers said he would be a

:15:57.:16:07.
:16:07.:16:11.

great loss to policing. Campaigners The 46-year-old man, held in

:16:11.:16:14.

detection with the disappearance of five-year-old April Jones has been

:16:14.:16:19.

arrested on suspicion of murder. There's shock in April's home town.

:16:19.:16:23.

Police are asking the public to leave the search for her now to

:16:23.:16:27.

specialist teams. Later on BBC London: Is it or isn't

:16:27.:16:31.

it anti-Semitic? The mural in Tower Hamlets which the Council says must

:16:31.:16:34.

be removed. And why a new container port here

:16:34.:16:37.

could make it easier for the capital's businesss to trade with

:16:37.:16:47.
:16:47.:16:49.

A team of British and French archaeologists have entered a

:16:49.:16:54.

labyrinth of tunnels under the some battlefield in franch, untouched

:16:54.:16:58.

for almost 100 years. They're the deepest tunnels discovered in the

:16:58.:17:04.

area. They were dug so troops could lay explosives below enemy lines.

:17:04.:17:07.

Robert Hall has been given exclusive access to them and is in

:17:07.:17:13.

the village of La Boisselle. To be more precise underneath La Boissele,

:17:13.:17:17.

under the old British front lines. If we had been here during the

:17:17.:17:21.

First World War these lines would have been filled with the sounds of

:17:21.:17:26.

picks and shovels perhaps men's voices and the soldiers made their

:17:26.:17:30.

way to the deeper levels, currently under exploration. There is the

:17:30.:17:34.

route that this team are following as they piece together more detail

:17:34.:17:40.

than ever of how those men lived and died.

:17:40.:17:46.

A slow dissent into a wartime underworld, a world of darkness, of

:17:46.:17:52.

fear, of extreme and sudden violence. During the battle of the

:17:52.:17:56.

some with opposing forces unable to advance, commanders looked for new

:17:56.:18:02.

ways to gain the advantage. Along the front teams of tunnellers

:18:02.:18:05.

borrowed beneath no-man's land to lay explosives which could destroy

:18:05.:18:11.

enemy trenches. It rises slightly here. It's taken the team two years

:18:11.:18:16.

to find and enter this tunnel system. No-one really knew what to

:18:16.:18:19.

expect when entering a labyrinth, sealed for the best part of a

:18:19.:18:25.

century. This is my colleague Rick, whose grandfather as way -- was a

:18:25.:18:30.

tunneller. It is hard to put in words. You're slightly overwhelmed

:18:30.:18:34.

by feelings below ground. I try not to think about it too much. But,

:18:34.:18:38.

yeah I've got a great deal of respect for what these guys did

:18:38.:18:41.

down here and what my grandfather did. It gives you an idea of what

:18:41.:18:49.

it was like for him. But the cramped galleries were perfectly

:18:49.:18:53.

preserved, littered with wartime debris, stretching away into the

:18:53.:19:01.

gloom. Down here, tunnellers strained to hear the sounds of the

:19:01.:19:05.

enemy working nearby and soldiers prepared to face an attack. I have

:19:05.:19:09.

no inkling of what it must have been like to work in a place like

:19:09.:19:13.

this. We're only exploring it. We have lovely bright torchs, air

:19:13.:19:18.

monitors and everything else. This is a battleground. You had a game

:19:18.:19:21.

of blind fold cat-and-mouse and no second place for the loseer. That's

:19:21.:19:28.

it, you're blown up under ground. An horrific way, horrific way to

:19:28.:19:32.

die. This exploration will take us all closer to the men who travelled

:19:32.:19:39.

from mining towns to do their bit. In a blocked gallery lie the

:19:39.:19:43.

remains of two tunnellers buried by an explosion in 1915. The work now

:19:43.:19:52.

under way is a tribute to them and to so many more.

:19:52.:19:55.

They'll be closing the site up for the winter over the next couple of

:19:55.:19:59.

days. Before they do, they'll hold a moment of remembrance near the

:19:59.:20:02.

spot where those two miners lie. They are hopeful that they'll be

:20:02.:20:06.

back next year. There's a great deal to explore, about eight

:20:06.:20:09.

kilometres of tunnels. That is only what they've managed to see so far.

:20:09.:20:13.

There are shafts leading up into another labyrinth which is for the

:20:13.:20:17.

future. For now, they're content with being able to uncover as many

:20:17.:20:23.

of those secrets as they possibly can.

:20:23.:20:27.

A committee of MPs says too many public sector employees are being

:20:27.:20:31.

paid without having their tax deducted at source. The Public

:20:31.:20:34.

Accounts Committee has criticised pay arrangements in Whitehall and

:20:35.:20:36.

at the BBC. Our business correspondent Emma

:20:36.:20:42.

Simpson reports. Most of us pay tax, just how much, though, can be

:20:42.:20:47.

controversial. Earlier this year, it emerged that the head of the

:20:47.:20:54.

Student Loans Company Ed Lester, on the left, was being paid via a

:20:54.:20:58.

service company instead of PAYE, potentially saving thousands in tax.

:20:58.:21:04.

It caused an outcry. Now the focus has turned here to the BBC. The

:21:04.:21:08.

Parliamentary watchdog, the Public Accounts Committee, acoo you coo --

:21:08.:21:13.

accused it of not requiring tax to be paid at source by many of its

:21:13.:21:17.

workers, some of whom are reckoned to be household names. I think

:21:17.:21:23.

we're shocked to find that so many people whose income is derived from

:21:23.:21:28.

the public purse are paid in ways which mean they avoid paying dew

:21:28.:21:31.

tax and national insurance contribution. That goes from the

:21:31.:21:34.

civil service through to the NHS, local Government and I'm afraid,

:21:34.:21:40.

the BBC. So why might the BBC want to pay some of its staff through a

:21:40.:21:44.

service company rather than direct from the payroll? The BBC benefits

:21:44.:21:48.

because it removed an obligation on them for PAYE and national

:21:48.:21:52.

insurance and it shifts it across to the service company. As far as

:21:52.:21:55.

the presenter or whoever is concerned operating through a

:21:55.:22:00.

service company rbs they may or may not get a benefit. It may be they

:22:00.:22:05.

pay the same amount tax any way if it's paid out as remuneration.

:22:05.:22:12.

BBC has 17,000 fulltime staff. It issued 25,000 off-payroll contracts

:22:12.:22:18.

last year, including contributors and technicians. There are 467

:22:18.:22:22.

presenters on long-term contracts being paid via a company. If people

:22:22.:22:26.

who work with us, work with other organisations as well, and they

:22:26.:22:31.

work with us through a service company, this enables us to provide

:22:31.:22:36.

the Inland Revenue with the details of the work that they do for us and

:22:36.:22:39.

therefore ensure they pay the right amount of tax. The Chief Secetary

:22:39.:22:44.

to the Treasury, Danny Alexander, has written to the BBC's new boss

:22:44.:22:49.

to draw his attention to today's report. The corporation says it's

:22:49.:22:53.

already reviewing these tax arrangements.

:22:53.:22:56.

This afternoon, the latest jobs figures in America will be

:22:56.:22:59.

published and they'll be closely examined. Unemployment is a big

:22:59.:23:02.

issue in the States ahead of next month's presidential election. It's

:23:02.:23:07.

also a big issue for young Americans. Half of all recent

:23:07.:23:10.

graduates are either unemployed or underemployed. And, as our

:23:10.:23:12.

correspondent Zoe Conway reports from Philedelphia, they're also

:23:12.:23:21.

saddled with more debt than ever. Mack has qualified as a lawyer, so

:23:22.:23:29.

he can now put his law books away and turn his attention to his

:23:29.:23:33.

$170,000 student debt. The whole gravity of it didn't hit me until

:23:33.:23:36.

about a few months ago, when all of a sudden it's like, wait a second,

:23:36.:23:42.

that's not just a number, that's actually representative of

:23:42.:23:47.

something. The debt is not unusual. Americans owe $1 trillion in

:23:47.:23:51.

student loans and they're also struggling to find work. More than

:23:51.:23:56.

half of recent graduates are unemployed or under employed. At

:23:56.:24:00.

Temple University students fear being trapped in low-paid jobs.

:24:00.:24:05.

hope for the best, but I just know from previous experience, my

:24:05.:24:11.

brother graduated from Penn State, he had high grades. He's been

:24:11.:24:14.

searching for jobs and can't find anything. The student vote helped

:24:14.:24:18.

to get President Barack Obama into the White House four years ago.

:24:18.:24:22.

He's still likely to win much of their vote, but gone is the message

:24:22.:24:27.

of hope and change. The American dream has been at the heart of this

:24:27.:24:32.

election, because many people fear that it's under threat. No more so

:24:32.:24:37.

than on campuss like this one, where students worry they'll be

:24:37.:24:40.

worse off than their parents. fearful that basically that I might

:24:40.:24:45.

not get a job, so I might have to be in debt all my life. In a tough

:24:45.:24:48.

economy, university is still seen as a good investment because non-

:24:48.:24:56.

graduates are faring even worse. The Football Association has

:24:56.:25:00.

explained the reasons behind their decision to ban and fine the

:25:00.:25:03.

Chelsea captain John Terry. They said the language he used towards

:25:03.:25:07.

Anton Ferdinand was used as an insult and there was no credible

:25:07.:25:11.

basis for the skipper's defence he was repeating words that he

:25:11.:25:15.

believed the QPR defender had said to him.

:25:16.:25:21.

Fifth of October 1962, that was the day that 007 first burst onto our

:25:21.:25:26.

screens in Dr No. Now 50 years later, James Bond fans are

:25:26.:25:30.

celebrating half a century of that most famous spy gracing the silver

:25:30.:25:37.

screen. Lizo Mzimba is at Pinewood studios where Dr No was made. Yes,

:25:37.:25:42.

thank you very much. Pinewood seen by many as the home of Bond, so

:25:42.:25:47.

many classic scenes filmed here and classic cars part of the appeal too.

:25:47.:25:52.

The rolls rois from Goldfinger. An Aston Martin from Die another Day.

:25:52.:25:56.

The team has celebrating all that's been achieved for 50 years and more

:25:56.:26:01.

than 20 films on Bond's way to becoming a symbol of Britain known

:26:01.:26:11.
:26:11.:26:14.

and loved the world over. The stars, the stunts, the girls,

:26:14.:26:24.
:26:24.:26:24.

the gadgets, the quips. He had to fly. The cars. Just a few of the

:26:24.:26:27.

things that have made the Bond series recognised the world over

:26:27.:26:31.

and which has help today maintain its phenomenal popularity for half

:26:31.:26:38.

a century. It was 50 years ago that cinema audiences first heard 007

:26:39.:26:45.

say... Bond, James Bond. Lines delivered to the very first Bond

:26:45.:26:50.

girl Sylvia Trench played by Eunice Gayson. I'd never seen him so

:26:50.:26:58.

nervous as he was that day. So I had to take him into the come sear

:26:58.:27:06.

and -- comissay and have a drink. He came back on set, "My name's

:27:06.:27:09.

Bond, James Bond." Wonderful. Who knew it would be such a success.

:27:09.:27:14.

That's exactly what Bond became, thrilling audiences and delivering

:27:14.:27:19.

huge returns along the way. Box office gold to the tune of more

:27:19.:27:24.

than �3 billion worldwide over 22 movies. As for Bond himself, his

:27:24.:27:28.

enemies have consistently failed to kill him off. Do you expect me to

:27:29.:27:33.

talk? No, Mr Bond, I expect you to die. And the love of his fans has

:27:33.:27:37.

kept him alive at the box office for five decades. In another 50

:27:37.:27:42.

years' time, might the Bond team be raising their glasses to a century

:27:42.:27:46.

of 007? As long as we left it, I leave it in as good a place as when

:27:46.:27:52.

I found it, it's going to be OK. It's an enduring story. Who knows.

:27:52.:27:58.

In some form, I think it will. It's had too big an impact. So much so,

:27:58.:28:01.

this summer Bond even appeared alongside the Queen. Good evening

:28:01.:28:05.

Mr Bond. It was a very special thing to be part of Danny Boyle's

:28:05.:28:12.

Opening Ceremony. Her Majesty was very game. The ultimate accolade

:28:13.:28:17.

underlining the franchise is prestige and its position as a

:28:17.:28:25.

cinema icon, unashamedly and triumphantly British.

:28:25.:28:29.

Well, it's not just here, there are events happening in several

:28:29.:28:32.

countries to commemorate this special anniversary. Also to

:28:32.:28:37.

celebrate the fact that at 50 years old, this film series is now almost

:28:37.:28:42.

half as old as cinema itself. half as old as cinema itself.

:28:42.:28:45.

Let's look at the latest weather now.

:28:45.:28:48.

The weekend is nearly upon us of course. The weather's playing ball.

:28:48.:28:51.

We have good weather on the way, both Saturday and Sunday across

:28:51.:28:54.

most parts of the British Isles. Before we get there, we have a bit

:28:54.:28:59.

of rain to come. Courtesy of this cloud in the south-west. This cloud

:28:59.:29:03.

thickens up to bring outbreaks of rain from the south-west of England

:29:03.:29:07.

across other southern counties as we go through the rest of the this

:29:07.:29:09.

afternoon with more northern areas having the best of the day's

:29:09.:29:12.

sunshine. Having said that, we've still got fairly widespread showers

:29:12.:29:14.

across Northern Ireland. They'll continue through the afternoon, but

:29:14.:29:18.

will be on the light side. The showers moving in across the

:29:18.:29:21.

Highlands and Western Isles they'll be heavy for a time later this

:29:21.:29:25.

afternoon. Most of the rest of Scotland stays dry. Just a few

:29:25.:29:28.

showers into Dumfries & Galloway for a time this afternoon. Showers

:29:28.:29:31.

will continue to affect the North West, particularly around Greater

:29:31.:29:34.

Manchester area for the day. To the east of the Pennines it's dry.

:29:34.:29:38.

Through the Midlands and East Anglia, into cloudy weather. It

:29:38.:29:41.

mostly dry until after dark. Outbreaks of rain spread towards

:29:41.:29:44.

the south-east of England and for the south-west, it's going to be a

:29:44.:29:48.

wet end to the day here. Most of the rain not too heavy until after

:29:48.:29:52.

dark. Some of the rain fringes into southern areas of Wales. But a fair

:29:52.:29:55.

amount of cloud spilling in ahead of that for central and northern

:29:55.:29:59.

parts of the country. Now overnight tonight, the rain is going to get

:29:59.:30:02.

heavier across south-west England. That swings towards the south-east.

:30:02.:30:06.

Could see around an inch of rain falling, 20-30mm or. So the rain

:30:07.:30:10.

pushes into the south-east overnight. Not too cold here thanks

:30:10.:30:13.

to the cloud and rain. Further north with clearer skies, it could

:30:13.:30:18.

be low enough for a touch of frost in rural areas, maybe mist or fog

:30:18.:30:21.

patches as well. Saturday morning starts off with the ain first thing

:30:21.:30:25.

across the south-east. There is a bit of uncertainty how quickly that

:30:25.:30:31.

push as way into the near continent. By the afternoon it's a dry story.

:30:31.:30:35.

Most keep the sunshine from dawn till dusk. There are showers in the

:30:35.:30:39.

far north and west of Scotland. What about the second half of the

:30:39.:30:41.

weekend? Well, high pressure overnight Saturday night will begin

:30:41.:30:45.

to build across the British Isles. With those clearing skies, it turns

:30:45.:30:48.

out to be a cold night. Again a touch of frost. High pressure will

:30:48.:30:52.

keep weather systems at bay for a time. So, what are we looking at

:30:52.:30:56.

Sunday? A fine start to the day with sunshine. Could be fog patches

:30:56.:30:59.

across southern counties. Later in the afternoon, we will see the

:31:00.:31:03.

cloud building in across the south- west threatening outbreaks of rain.

:31:03.:31:09.

It turns wet again overnight. So we're looking pretty good, cold

:31:09.:31:12.

mornings and nights. Sunny spells by day and the risk of rain at

:31:12.:31:16.

times. Flirting with the southern counties of England. Not bad. We'll

:31:16.:31:20.

take the sunshine while we get it. Nex week it's set to turn unsettled

:31:20.:31:24.

again. A reminder of our top story. Mark

:31:24.:31:27.
