April Jones. 46-year-old Mark Bridger - who's been held since | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Tuesday in connection with her disappearance - is now being | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
questioned about her murder. There's shock in April's home town | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
in Mid Wales as police ask the public to leave the search for the | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
little girl to specialist teams now. The dynamics of the search have now | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
changed and due to the passage of time and the developments within | :00:34. | :00:39. | |

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. | |

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. | |

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. | |

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. |
