Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
Too little has been done to integrate people who have settled | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
in Britain from abroad - that's according to the Labour leader, Ed | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
Miliband. He admitted his party had made mistakes while in Government | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
and had failed to tackle the growing problem of segregation in | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
Britain's cities along racial and ethnic lines. He called for a | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
better strategy to help cope with the pressures of a multi-ethnic | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
society. Here's our political correspondent, Iain Watson. | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
makes life harder if you can't speak English. Pitch. South Thames | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
College is in an an area half the population don't describe | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
themselves as white/British. Ed Miliband says if communities are | :02:18. | :02:26. | |
are not going to grow further apart there should be more English. | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
There is a minority who have come here without being able to speak | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
English. That makes life harder for them. Those who don't speak English | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
are less able to get a good job, and less able to make the most of | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
being in Britain. Ed Miliband says he recognises some | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
communities anxieties, but the pace of immigration and the scale of | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
change so he will accept the Government's cut of migration | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
outside the EU if there is evidence that it works, but Labour are | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
insisting that they are not concerned about the numbers of | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
people who come to Britain, but about how well they integrate when | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
they get here. Under Labour, net migration rose from 140,000 to | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
198,000 in 2009. Last year under the coalition, it stood at 242,000, | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
but it has fallen. In 2002 a survey suggested around four out of ten | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
people felt immigration had a negative economic impact. | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
Here in South London, there was support for measures that | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
encouraged greater integration. I support that immensely because | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
one of the things that we can do is get communities communities groups | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
in our local library and learn people to speak English. | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
Others say Labour should have done more to control the numbers coming | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
into the country. We are getting overcrowded. | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
Was the number too high? Yes, it was too high. I think we relied too | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
much on low skill migration. All the things he laid out this | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
morning were dealing with the problems that the Government that | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
he was a member of created. Government has taken firm action to | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
deal with the system they broke. Ed Miliband says he celebrates a | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
multi-cultural society. Opponents say he is under estimating voters | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
Our political correspondent Carole Walker is at Westminster. How much | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
afchange in policy is this for Labour? Well, there is a shift | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
going on here. Labour in the past was critical of the Government's | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
cap on immigration. Now, Ed Miliband, is saying that is | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
something they are going to look at. The Government would say there | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
already is evidence that it is working on reducing net immigration. | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
Interesting too that Ed Miliband was focusing on language as a | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
barrier to integration, but there are some questions on that. The | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
Immigration Minister said these were hollow words. He pointed out | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
that the Government is already - has already introduce a language | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
requirement on anyone coming to this country to to work or study | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
from outside Europe. Sources are saying it would be difficult to | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
impose such a restriction on people from the EU because they have a | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
right of freedom of movement. He was pointing out that everyone | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
would accept the need for public service workers to speak good | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
English. But to suggest there was a requirement for all public sector | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
workers to reach a certain level, there is a question 6 question of | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
how you are going to test that. Labour want to address voters | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
concerns, but we are going to have to wait and see detailed policies | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
before we can see if they have achieved what they hoped. | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
The Deputy Prime Minister is calling for a full-scale review of | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
Britain's drug laws. Nick Clegg says we can't carry on ignoring | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
evidence that society is losing the so-called war on drugs. But his | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
announcement comes just five days after the Prime Minister ruled out | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
any changes. Here's Mark Easton. The question of whether Britain's | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
drug laws need significant reform has become the latest issue to | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
divide the coalition Government. The Prime Minister and Home | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
Secretary, say there is no need for a Royal Commission on drugs because | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
Britain's strategy is working. But in an interview with the the BBC, | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
Nick Clegg said the opposite. I don't see this as a thing between | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
myself and the Prime Minister. It is not an issue of what different | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
politicians, it is what do we as a country believe is the right thing | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
to do. If you are anti-drugs, you should be pro-reform. | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
Last year, the Liberal Democrats voted to establish a panel to | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
consider decriminalising the use of all drugs. Mr Clegg is demanding | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
the Government look at the system in Portugal where all drugs have | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
been dependalised and at the the experience in Washington and | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
Colorado where marijuana has been legalised. The Deputy Prime | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
Minister rejects allegations that he is sending a dangerous message | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
to young people. I think it is important that we break this | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
conspiracy of silence, where politicians, when they are in | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
Government at least, say this is all too controversial, we are not | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
going to look elsewhere. We are not going to compare notes with | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
European countries. We are not going to look at what they are | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
doing in Latin America and North America to make sure wir doing all | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
we can to help families and children who are affected by the | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
blight of drugs. The Prime Minister made it clear he | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
was opposed to any review of Britain's drug strategy, but played | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
down the coalition split. The Deputy Prime Minister is | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
entitled to take a view for the next election and beyond for his | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
manifesto. Wanting to go further. Wanting to have a Royal Commission. | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
I don't support a Royal Commission in my view, there is always a a | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
danger that they can take minutes and last for years. | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
There is no question of any change to drugs drugs policy in this | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
Parliament, but as the first serving minister of the Crown to | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
call for reform of the drug laws, Mr Clegg is looking to a debate | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
beyond 2015. Let's get more on this from Norman | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
Smith. There is more disagreement and and divisions within the | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
coalition, is it serious? We have a disagreement today over drugs | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
policy. You go back to the start of the week and we had the | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
disagreement over security policy and allowing the police to access | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
our e-mails and texts and before that, we had the high-profile | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
disApril greement over whether should be legislation to implement | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
the Leveson proposals. Those around Mr Clegg say this is not part of | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
some plan to put distance between himself and the Prime Minister, but | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
it does tell us two things. One is that the pressure, the need, Mr | :08:46. | :08:54. | |
Clegg has to show his own people that that he has not become some | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
Cameron-like figure that he is willing to speak out on issues that | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
matter to the Liberal Democrats, but we are seeing a coalition which | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
is becoming much looser, much less fluid and much less tightly bound | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
and that carries with it risks. Risk number one, it is easy for | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
Labour to play one man off against the other. Risk number two, is that | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
it risks further enraging many Tory backbenchers when they see Nick | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
Clegg criticising Government policy, but above all, it risks creating | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
the appearance of a division and of a split and we know from history | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
that divisions and splits can profoundly weaken Governments. | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
Norman, thank you very much. There has been a dramatic increase | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
in the number of allegations of child sex abuse since the | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
revelations about Jimmy Savile. Children's Protection Agencies say | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
the number of reports last month was up by almost a third on a year | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
ago. The NSPCC is urging people not to hesitate in coming forward if | :09:52. | :10:01. | |
they have concerns. Tom Symonds reports. His face has been on our | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
screens for all the wrong reasons since September. But it seems to be | :10:06. | :10:13. | |
helping abuse victims reveal the secrets of their past. Stacey Watts | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
knows how hard it can be to take the decision to tell someone. | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
You are in a safe zone when the secret is still with you. Hopefully | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
we are going to go through a cultural change of acceptance that | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
yes, it does happen and that this topic can't be ignored anymore. | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
Children coming forward can't be ignored anymore. They have to be | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
believed. The Metropolitan Police says | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
allegations of abuse in the past have increased 300% since the | :10:41. | :10:49. | |
Savile scandal. The NSPCC has had a 200% increase in calls. And today | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre has told the BBC | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
it received 30% more cases in November alone, compared to | :10:56. | :11:04. | |
November last year. It is report frs adult and reports from children. | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
It is difficult for a a child to raise a flag and say someone is | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
hurting me. It is important that other people report it. Anyone who | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
observe it is and those reports have gone up as well. | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
The NSPCC launched a new campaign which emphasises the need for those | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
who believe abuse is taking place to report it even if they are not | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
100% sure. With sexual abuse, it is difficult | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
to be 100% certain into a child is a victim -- certain that a child is | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
a victim of abuse. Don't wait until you are certain, call us. Speak to | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
our trained counsellors, we will talk to you. We will help you | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
decide whether or not a child is at risk. We can take that information. | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
You can call us anonymously as well. You don't have to say who you are | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
and we will make sure that that information is acted upon. | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
The charity says Savile's victims have done a great public service in | :12:03. | :12:08. | |

Britain's richest women died as a result of drug abuse. An inquest | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
into the death of Eva Rausing, who was married to the Tetra Pak heir | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
Hans Christian Rausing, found that the mother of four died as a result | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
of cocaine intoxication. Her body lay undiscovered for two months at | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
her home in West London. Birmingham's City Hospital has | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
closed all its wards to visitors because of an outbreak of the | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
winter vomiting bug. There has been a 72% increase in cases of | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
norovirus there compared to this time last year. The George Elliot | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
Hospital is also closed to almost all its visitors because of | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
Norovirus. A cruise company has apologised to | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
passengers who were affected. More than 150 passengers were struck | :13:04. | :13:08. | |

December. The former Labour MP Margaret Moran | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
has been given a two year supervision and treatment order for | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
fiddling her expenses to receive more than �53,000 from the taxpayer. | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
Mrs Moran, who's suffering from severe depression, did not appear | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
at Southwark Crown Court. Daniel Boettcher is there. Is it her | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
mental health issues that mean she hasn't received a criminal | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
conviction for this? Well, it has been an unusual case. | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
Margaret Moran was found to be unfit to stand trial so she has | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
been no part of these proceedings. A doctor treating her was today | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
asked about her health and he said she rufrd r -- suffered from panic | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
attacks and she was ill. Her health appeared to be deteriorating | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
already last year when she came before magistrates and since then | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
she has been examined by two experts who are the -- for the | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
defence who found she could not stand trial and an expert for the | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
prosecution who Bradley agreed with that. -- broadly agreed with that. | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
This has been a trial of issues and jurors when they heard the evidence | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
last month found that the facts as alleged by the prosecution had been | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
established so that Margaret Moran had received �53,000 to which she | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
was not entitled. The finding by the jury was not the same as a | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
guilty verdict and not a conviction. And what did the judge have to say? | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
Well, Mr Justice Saunders ordered that Margaret Moran should under go | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
treatment for a period of two years under the supervision of a mental | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
health social worker. He explained why the court had acted in the way | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
that it had done and at the end of his ruling he said, "There will be | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
feelings amongst some that Mrs Moran has got away with it. What | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
the court has done and has to do is to act in accordance of the law of | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
the land and on the basis of the evidence that it hears. ". Thank | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
you very much. The Labour leader Ed Miliband says | :15:16. | :15:19. | |

Syria. A number of Syrian shells have already landed in Turkish | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
territory since the conflict began in March last year. Here's our | :16:09. | :16:13. | |

causing casualties. Fear thoo it could be vulnerable to Syrian | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
missiles led Turkey to ask missile for patriot missiles to help it | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
defend itself against any such threat. We are deploying two | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
Patriot batteries here to Turkey. Along with the troops that are | :16:48. | :16:55. | |
necessary to man those batteries. So we can help Turkey have the kind | :16:55. | :16:59. | |

announcing that the US was joining Germany and the Netherlands in | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
providing missiles. Does this risk raising the stakes in the Syrian | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
crisis? I see the Patriot missiles as a defensive move. The Al-Assad | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
regime knows it's a defensive move. Though these missiles can | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
theoretically be used to shoot down planes and contribute to a no-fly | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
zone, that's probably not going to happen. They're far too expensive | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
and scarce to use for that purpose. Syria's most important ally, Russia, | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
has already responded, saying the American missile deployment creates | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
extra tension and does not assist a political solution of the Syrian | :17:40. | :17:50. | |

much top of the agenda. Tell us what was said. Yeah, David Cameron | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
was pretty strong in what he said, though he wouldn't elaborate on | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
what he meant by "nothing being off the table" when pushed on it. He is | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
supported here by the French. The French and British have been | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
leading the European pack,if you like, on supporting the opposition. | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
David Cameron pointed to council conclusion that's talk about, so | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
this is all EU members, 27 member states u, talking about they must | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
work on all options to support the opposition. They repeat political | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
transition is necessary in Syria. They talk of his ill legitimate | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
regime. David Cameron said that represented progress. I think some | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
of the context to that is the the fact that some other countries, | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
notably the Germans, are less overwhelmingly convinced that the | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
opposition in Syria, at the moment, should be robustly backed. That | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
means, yet again, that on another crucial foreign policy issue, the | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
European Union doesn't have a coherent stance to make it a big | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
player in this debate. I don't think we're going to see major | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
changes, for instance, to the arms embargo that Europe has put in | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
place that night allow weapons to be provided to the Syrian | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
opposition. In that sense, dfpbg and his French counterpart might | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
have to go for more bilateral approach. | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
Last minute rallies and protests are taking place in Egypt before | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
voting starts tomorrow in a divisive referendum on the | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
country's constitution, which is backed by President Morsi. It's | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
plunged the country into turmoil and led to violent clashes and the | :20:13. | :20:23. | |
:20:23. | :20:24. | ||
Lyse Doucet sent this report from President Morsi's home town. | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
This village is much like any other Egyptian village, but it has a | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
claim to fame. It's where President Mohamed Morsi was born. Everyone | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
knows Mohamed Morsi here, but do they know his constitution? It's | :20:38. | :20:45. | |
the future of their country. 63 pages long, 236 articles. Have they | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
read it? Do they understand it? And will they vote for it? Most | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
Egyptians live in rural areas. Most are poor. This new charter affects | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
every aspect of their life from rights to religion, to the role of | :21:01. | :21:11. | |
the state. They seem to know that. This woman tells me "just because | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
we're farmers, doesn't mean we're not educated. I've read the | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
constitution and I'm very convinced of it." | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
A short drive away, in the town Zagazig, a reminder of the tensions | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
over this document. Policemen barricades around President Morsi's | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
family home. It was targeted by angry protesters. On the eve of a | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
crucial vote, Egyptians are deeply divided. We stop by a street cafe, | :21:39. | :21:46. | |
taken over by football fans to ask what side they're on. In Arabic, a | :21:46. | :21:55. | |
constitution is (she speaks Arabic). I'm going to see whether the | :21:55. | :22:05. | |
:22:05. | :22:17. | ||
constitution is good. No. No. No? Back to football. But you got | :22:17. | :22:24. | |
the idea. Egypt lost the game. There's a lot more to lose if | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
tomorrow's vote doesn't end the crisis. | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
A man's appeared in court charged with the murders of four siblings. | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
Dyson Allen is accused of killing Reece Smith, who was 19, four-year- | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
old twins Holly and Ella and two- year-old Jordan at a fire in their | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
home. Our correspondent Ed Thomas is at the scene of the fire in | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
Freckleton. Tell us what happened in court this morning. Yes, this | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
was the first appearance of 19- year-old Dyson Allen. It's nearly a | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
year since the blaze here at the converted bungalow. Today, the home | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
is still empty. The 19-year-old was led into the dock by a security | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
guard. He was close to tears. He nodded to confirm his name and his | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
age. Then the charges, four counts of murder, were read to him. This | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
includes the death of 19-year-old Reece Smith, his two sisters, four- | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
year-old twins, Holly and Ella and their two-year-old brother, Jordan. | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
Police say the fire started in the attic of this converted bungalow. | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
At the time, friends, neighbours, all desperately tried to save all | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
of the children. They were rushed to hospital. Later they died from | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
the effects of breathing in smoke. Police also said that their | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
investigation goes on. They still want to hear from witnesses who | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
were here in January before the fire. As for Dyson Allen, he was | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
remanded in custody and he'll appear before Preston Crown Court | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
on Monday. Just 12% of 14-year-old girls in | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
Britain are reaching the recommended levels of physical | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
activity, that's half the number of boys of the same age. Our | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
correspondent has been to Sweden to find out why women there are four | :24:07. | :24:14. | |
times more likely to be physically active than British counterparts. | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
Stockholm in winter, this country bucks the European trend. They're | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
sportier and fitter and yes, as a result on the whole, healthier than | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
most. Sweden has a harsher climate than the UK and fewer daylight | :24:28. | :24:38. | |
hours too, still girls are much part of their lives as they grow up. | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
On average, a Swedish woman is four times more likely than her British | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
counterpart to be active. But the head of the Swedish sports | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
confederation says it's because women here have a head start. | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
been working quite a lot with more women in the position where the | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
decisions are made. For example in the executive committees and the | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
boards and the clubs. Women are 40% of all those who are active in | :25:02. | :25:10. | |
sport in Sweden. That also has to be reflected in those areas where | :25:10. | :25:17. | |
the decisions are taken. In a suburb of Stockholm is this | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
thriving sports club which can trace its history back to the | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
Swedish Olympics of 1912. They run an impressive array of girls teams. | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
Some of these players are following in their mother's, even | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
grandmother's footsteps. It's 4pm in the afternoon. It's already dark. | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
It's freezey -- freezing cold. There's horizontal rain. All these | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
girls have been at school all day. This is one of the most | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
enthusiastic football training sessions I have ever been to. | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
the bottom of it all, it's just having a laugh and having a good | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
time, yeah. Do they need to be good? Everyone can play. We never | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
say no. You never turn anyone away? No. Almost half of this country's | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
population is a member of a sports club, from the age of seven to 70, | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
they simply make sport a part of their way of life. | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
Now the Tour De France is returning to Britain in 2014. Leeds will host | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
the start of the race. Tour organisers say that after an | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
historic win for Bradley Wiggins this year, they're delighted that | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
the 101st tour will finish in London, before crossing the channel | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
to France. Stkpwhraen's cibgtders have put | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
themselves in a -- England's cricketers have put themselves in a | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
commanding position in the second day of the Fourth Test. England | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
finished on 330 all out. Jimmy Anderson made early inroads against | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
the Indian batsmen who are 87 for four in reply at close of play. Joe | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
Wilson reports from Nagpur. Don't let it be said that Nagpur is | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
unprepared. Around the ground they were taking no chances. Security | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
that befits a huge new stadium. Trouble is it was built so far from | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
anywhere, only the devoted made it there by morning. | :27:09. | :27:16. | |
India! There were precious few inside to see Matt Prior make 50. | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
He's aye well established asset in England's side. Joe Root is a | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
surprise, a gift. Few expected him even to play here. He faced 229 | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
balls to make 73. He may look 21 going on 12, but he could not have | :27:31. | :27:41. | |
:27:41. | :27:41. | ||
batted with more maturity. runs too, making his fifth test 50 | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
in his 50th test. 330 as a total looked good, but it depended on the | :27:44. | :27:51. | |
other team. As the afternoon progressed the | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
interest grew. Look at the queue here now. People are waiting to get | :27:54. | :28:04. | |
:28:04. | :28:04. | ||
in. What Indian fans really love is seeing their team bat. Sehwag only | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
entertained England, cleaned up for naught. Anderson had got rid of a | :28:08. | :28:15. | |
big problem in the first over. By the close, England had four wickets, | :28:15. | :28:21. | |
Anderson three, including Tend ulkar. India may not have a way | :28:21. | :28:27. | |
back in this match. The -- they're 243 behind. | :28:27. | :28:30. | |
There was a fair amount of cloud around last night. For those lucky | :28:30. | :28:38. | |
enough to have clear skies, there The annual Geminid meteor shower | :28:38. | :28:41. | |
was reaching its peak. It occurs every year as the earth crosses the | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
path of an asteroid. Late night sky watchers were rewarded with the | :28:46. | :28:52. | |
sight of dozens of Shooting Stars, trail of debris burned up in the | :28:52. | :28:56. | |
atmosphere. Quite a sight. No cloud-free skies | :28:56. | :28:57. | |
Quite a sight. No cloud-free skies now though. | :28:57. | :29:02. | |
It's pretty cloudy at the moment. And a lot of cloud tonight as well. | :29:02. | :29:08. | |
Plenty of other things falling out of the sky today. It's change over | :29:08. | :29:12. | |
day today. It's messy and painful change. Strong winds and heavy rain | :29:12. | :29:22. | |
:29:22. | :29:30. | ||
It's the boundary between the two air masses. It's producing a lot of | :29:30. | :29:35. | |
rain. More of that to come this afternoon across Wales. The winds | :29:35. | :29:39. | |
easing a touch here. In Northern Ireland wet too. Coastal flooding | :29:39. | :29:42. | |
down the East Coast. But water on the roads inland as well. Northern | :29:42. | :29:47. | |
Scotland yet to see the heavy rain, but still cold here. As that rain | :29:47. | :29:52. | |
pushes north, still the risk of ice, perhaps mountain snow. The ice risk | :29:52. | :29:57. | |
receding across northern England. It was sliply irs -- slippery first | :29:57. | :30:01. | |
thing this morning. Further south, beginning to seat back of the rain | :30:01. | :30:07. | |
by 3pm. Even a bit of brightness coming through. Strong winds | :30:07. | :30:11. | |
through the channel though to impact one or two of the ferry | :30:11. | :30:16. | |
services. The clear eweather is edging in across the south-west. | :30:16. | :30:18. | |
Potential for transport disruption through today and tonight. BBC | :30:18. | :30:23. | |
local radio and the weather pages of the website are a good spot for | :30:23. | :30:25. | |
the information on that. Through tonight, we will see the worst of | :30:25. | :30:30. | |
the weather pushing northwards. Strong winds, severe gales across | :30:30. | :30:35. | |
north-east Scotland, still snow across the mountains. Blizzards | :30:35. | :30:37. | |
possibly for Shetland. Further south things clear up. A windy | :30:37. | :30:42. | |
night and mild, certainly compared to what we've had. Temperatures | :30:42. | :30:46. | |
around six or seven degrees. The weekend - we saw clearer weather | :30:46. | :30:50. | |
heading our way. It's bright and breezy pretty much sums it up. | :30:50. | :30:54. | |
There will be heavy showers around. Some of those could be thundery out | :30:54. | :30:57. | |
west on Saturday. It's mainly western areas that will seat | :30:57. | :31:00. | |
showers. The further east, the better the chance of a drier day | :31:00. | :31:04. | |
with sunshine. Breezy everywhere. But those severe gales easy away | :31:04. | :31:07. | |
from northern Scotland. By the afternoon, temperatures on the mild | :31:07. | :31:12. | |
side. They're not too far off the seasonal average. Up around 10 or | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
11 in the south, 6 and 7 in the north. Similar day for Sunday. It's | :31:16. | :31:20. | |
breezy, but south-westerly winds bringing mild air. Showers mainly | :31:20. | :31:23. |
