Too little has been done to integrate those who've come to live

in Britain says the Labour leader. Ed Miliband admits his party made

mistakes in dealing with the problems of segregation and says

those who don't speak good English could be banned from some jobs

Divided over the war on drugs. That makes life harder for them.

:00:24.:00:27.

Those who don't speak English are less able to get a good job and

:00:28.:00:31.

less able to make the most of being in Britain. And it is also bad for

:00:31.:00:37.

Britain as a hole. The Deputy Prime Minister calls for

:00:37.:00:45.

a review of Britain's drugs laws, but the Prime minister says no. Pm.

The Jimmy Savile revelations prompt a sharp rise in allegations of

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.

placing a Spotlight on child sexual abuse and the problem should not be

:12:08.:12:17.

allowed to slide back into the A coroner has ruled that one of

:12:17.:12:20.

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.

down by Norovirus during a ten-day cruise which departed on 4th

:13:08.:13:13.

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.

:16:06.:16:09.

territory since the conflict began in March last year. Here's our

Syrian forces bombing rebel poctions on the Turkish border --

side. Syrian shells have landed on Turkish territory itself, also

:16:26.:16:32.

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.

of missile defence it may very well need in dealing with threats that

:16:59.:17:03.

come out of Syria. The American defence secretary in Turkey today

:17:03.:17:08.

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.

conflict. It does put the spotlight again op the volatile Syria/Turkey

:18:00.:18:00.

border. Where the missiles will be sited has not been disclosed. The

:18:00.:18:04.

Americans say they expect theirs to be deployed within weeks. All will

be under any toe command and control. -- NATO command and

:18:11.:18:17.

control. The crisis in Syria dominated the EU summit. David

:18:17.:18:20.

Cameron said Britain is ready to step up its support for the Syrian

:18:20.:18:23.

opposition and warned nothing is off the table in the effort to

:18:23.:18:26.

speed up the transition of power from the regime of President Assad.

:18:26.:18:30.

Our Europe correspondent Matthew Price is in Brussels. Syria very

:18:30.:18:35.

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

:20:23.: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

:26:40.: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

: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.

interest grew. Look at the queue here now. People are waiting to get

big problem in the first over. By the close, England had four wickets,

Anderson three, including Tend ulkar. India may not have a way

back in this match. The -- they're 243 behind.

There was a fair amount of cloud around last night. For those lucky

enough to have clear skies, there The annual Geminid meteor shower

was reaching its peak. It occurs every year as the earth crosses the

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

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.

Plenty of other things falling out of the sky today. It's change over

It's the boundary between the two air masses. It's producing a lot of

rain. More of that to come this afternoon across Wales. The winds
