corp-up over baby deaths in Cumbria. The U-turn comes after the Health | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
Secretary called for the who truth to come out, and for individuals to | :00:19. | :00:23. | |

Correspondent in Westminster. Also this lunch time: At least five | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
children and four adults have been kurt after a car crashes into a | :00:33. | :00:37. | |

"invisibility minority" of pupils left behind in schools, they are no | :00:41. | :00:47. | |

The investigate makes his stringest call yet for the adoption of | :00:53. | :00:56. | |

results. Good afternoon. Welcome to the bheeb | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
News at One. The organisation at the heart of allegations of a cover-up | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
over the deaths of babies in Cumbria, will identify some of those | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
at the centre of the scandal. The move follows the release of a highly | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
critical report into the health regulator's response to complaints | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
about the deaths of a number of babies at Furness General Hospital. | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
There was pressure on the Care Quality Commission to name those who | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
allegedly tried to hide the findings of the report. Jeremy Hunt has said | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
that he welcomes the decision to identify them. | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
In 2010, the healthcare regulator, the Care Quality Commission declared | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
Furness General Hospital was safe. We now know that was a mistake. That | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
management allegedly tried to cover it up. So far we don't know who the | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
managers are. The CQC said that they cannot be named for data protection | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
reasons, but pressure has been building on the regulator, now | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
ministers say that decision has been changed. | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
The CQC will later publish the names of certain individuals, currently in | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
the Thornton report. A former employee and a whistleblower of the | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
regulator, believes other NHS bodies like the Strategic Health Authority | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
Assange culpable. They registered an organisation that | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
they knew was not meeting standards. So I think that those individuals | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
need to be held to account and I think that we need to know who else | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
knew in the SH A, in the Department of Health. How high does the | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
cover-up go? Concerns about care at Furness General Hospital were | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
apparently well known in 2010, when the regulator said it was safe. The | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
local MP has backed calls for CQC managers to be named. | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
The public want the best from their health service. When there are | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
mistakes, they are appalled that individuals at the top, poor | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
managers, often walk away anonymous, unanal to -- and able to take up | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
other well-paid jobs in the Health Secretary sector. They want that | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
stopped. An important part of this is naming those who fail. As often | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
happens with a cover-up it is not the initial mistake that is damaging | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Trust in the Care Quality Commission but the apparent attempt to conceal | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
Let's speak with our Political Correspondent Norman Smith. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
Yesterday they weren't prepared to name these people, today they are, | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
what has change?ed I think that the Care Quality Commission has bowed to | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
the inevitable. Facing a wave of popular, political and media irn | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
indig nation and fury to not release the name as it could breach their | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
privacy, but the Information Commissioner said he could see no | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
reason why the names could not be published and suggest fundamental | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
the Care Quality Commission had bothered to ring him up, he would is | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
a told him that. Jeremy Hunt said that he made it clear he wanted the | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
names out in the public domain. A local MP suggested that the police | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
should investigate the CQC to see if contravened the law and, another | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
that Jeremy Hunt should overrule the CQC and publish the names | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
regardless. What probably tipped the balance was the growing view in the | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
Care Quality Commission itself, was that there was no way that they | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
could seek to re-establish their reputation and rebuild confidence | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
with the public if they were seen to be hiding the names of "the guilty | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
men and women" when they publish the names, that will not be the end of | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
the matter. There will be a focus on the terms and the conditions under | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
which the individuals were allowed to leave the organisation. As | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
importantly, whether they moved on from this top job within the NHS, to | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
other top jobs within the NHS. Norman, thank you very much. | :05:41. | :05:48. | |

At least five adults and four children have been injured after a | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
car collided with a group of pedestrian at a pelican crossing in | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
South Wales. The incident happened near Rhoose Primary School in the | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
Vale of Glamorgan before 9.00am this morning. The road has been closed, | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
Emergency Services are at the scene. Our correspondent Hywel Griffith is | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
in the village of Rhoose. Yes, the police were called here | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
this morning. They are examining the scene behind me, the road is | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
cordoned off. We understand that they were called after a car flipped | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
up and went on to its roof, hitting a lollipop lady and several | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
children. Four of the children are still being treated for serious head | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
and body injuries. However we understand that there have been no | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
fatalities and the police are treating this as a very serious | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
accident. Yards from a pelican crossing a | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
black Audi is overturned, sandwiched between a green car and a row of | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
bushes. On the ground, part of a lollipop stick is visible, along | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
with clothing, strewn across the pavement. This was the aftermath of | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
the accident. It happened at Rhoose Primary School at dropping off time | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
this morning. There was a hell of a bang. Then all | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
of the children were screaming and shouting. You saw the fathers run to | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
see where it happened. We took the children into the classroom. | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
Five children and four adults, thought to include a lollipop lady, | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
were rushed to the hospital. For some parents there was the feeling | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
that they had had a narrow escape. It is terrible. It is the way that | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
we come to school. It could easily have been us. So, yes, a bit of a | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
shock. It is believed that the accident was | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
caused when a local resident lost control of their car. It is not | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
being treated as anything malicious. The school is open today. | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
The school have been fantastic in giving the children some support and | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
trying to make the day as normal for them as possible under the | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
circumstances. This is a very knit community. We all know each other | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
very well. I'm sure that we all know someone who has been involved today. | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
The driver of the car is a 61-year-old man. He is assisting the | :08:14. | :08:24. | |
:08:24. | :08:24. | ||
police with their enquiries. Well the school us is open. However | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
the parents have been coming to collect their children, many having | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
witnessed the horrific deal at the beginning of the school day. The | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
police investigation continues but with we understand that at the | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
moment this is being treated as an accident. | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
There they have been called the "invisibility minority", the | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
disadvantaged children living in leafy suburbs, market towns or | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
seaside resorts, who are being let down by their schools that is | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
according to England's Chief Inspector of Schools, Sir Michael | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
Wilshaw. He said that the best teachers should be offered incentive | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
ives work in poorer backgrounds. A decade ago it was schools in many | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
of England's cities, seen as failing their poorest pupils. Years of | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
initiative and investment paid off. Many inner-city schools are among | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
the best of the -- in the country, a less n to be learned elsewhere. | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
Poor unseen children can be found in meet oak schools, the length and the | :09:28. | :09:35. | |
breadthth of our country -- mediocre. They are found in market | :09:35. | :09:43. | |
towns and seaside resorts. They can be found in prosperous -- prosperous | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
communities, many achieving far less than they should. | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
There is a warning that no school that is failing its purest pupils | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
will be graded as outstanding a and there should absquad of national | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
teachers to be deployed to underachieving areas. | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
How this would happen nobody knows. I think that the schools need longer | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
term solutions than this. Good stable staffing structures to create | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
excellence from within. Not to believe it can be parachuted from | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
without. Raising aspirations has been the key | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
to transforming inner-city schools, according to Ofsted, that should be | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
the focus everywhere else. Here in Hastings, the school says that the | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
change is underway. Put into special measures five years | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
ago, this school has been as the Hastings Academy, graded good by off | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
stead. More than half pupils are from low income backgrounds. | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
Recruiting the best staff continues to be an issue. | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
Tlfrjts are great teachers in the schools. Any resource that helps us | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
to retain them and to recruit further is welcome. | :10:53. | :11:01. | |
We are going to need to be able to pay highly qualified, ambitious, | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
incredibly talented staff more. The Government said that closing the | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers is a priority with �2. 5 | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
billion earmarked to help the poorest pupils by 20156789 | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
For a long time, the issue of genetically modified foods seems to | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
have been off the political menu, but today, the Environment | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
Secretary, Owen Paterson, hued a speech to put it back centre stage. | :11:26. | :11:33. | |
He said that embracing GM could bring benefits to farmers, consumers | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
and the environment. A claim hotly disputed by opponents. | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
Wheat is the most widely grown crop in the world. Scientists are keen to | :11:42. | :11:50. | |
see if they can improve it through genetic modification. This trial, | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
currently grown in the UK, has been alter sod that it emits a smell to | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
repel insettings it helps to reduce the amount of pest kriedz needed to | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
protect the crop, but there has been public resistance to GM trials so, | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
the chances of commercialising a new crop are slim. | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
Some of these are... Despite the difficulties, the Environment | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
Secretary is keen to see more GM research in the UK. He says that the | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
Government must persuade people of the benefits. | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
I want the UK to have a leading role in feeding the world. Increasing the | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
resilience of global food supplies. Not watching others take the lead to | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
forge ahead. But critics say that the push for GM is misguided, that | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
the technology promise oats the use of pesticides. That there are better | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
proechs. To address the challenges of things | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
that we are seeing, climate change and droughts, there are more | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
effective technologies to use. The evidence showing that the | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
technologies are outperforming GM on every count. | :13:03. | :13:11. | |
What about UK farmers? Would they plant GM? You get better yields. The | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
population is growing. I think it is the way to go. If we Go push too | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
much, we seem to get little. I believe that the population is | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
rising. People have to be fed. Owen Paterson wants reform of the EU | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
approach to GM, to allow countries willing to embrace the technology to | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
move forward, but the issue has been deadlocked in Brussels for years, | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
but with no sign of a change in the European public opinion, there may | :13:39. | :13:46. | |
be few practical steps that the British Government can take. | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
Our top story: The names of health officials involved in an alleged | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
cover-up in failings at Furness General Hospital, are due to be | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
published this afternoon. Still to come: Battling in Brazil. The latest | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
in the country's worst civil rest in 20 years. On BBC London: The amazing | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
story of the Chinese er, rickshaw and the London Olympics. Last year | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
he became an international star after cycling from China to London. | :14:17. | :14:27. | |
:14:27. | :14:34. | ||
Now he is off again. This time to troubled Mafia boss, Tony Soprano. | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
Today, the acting world has been paying tribute to James Gandolfini | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
who is died aged 51. It is believed he suffered a heart attack on a | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
visit to Rome. Among those paying tribute was the man who created The | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
Sopranos, David Chase, who called him a genius, one of the greatest | :14:52. | :15:01. | |
actors of this time. Man himself said he was a 270 pound Woody Allen. | :15:01. | :15:10. | |
He was known to millions as nude jersey mob boss Tony -- New Jersey | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
mob boss Tony Soprano. The role of a man juggling his criminal empire as | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
well as the demands of his family made him a star. It ran for six | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
seasons, won him three Emmy awards and made him world-famous. He was on | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
holiday in Italy, where he was due to appear at a film festival, where | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
he is believed to have suffered a stroke or heart attack and was taken | :15:35. | :15:44. | |
:15:45. | :15:49. | ||
to hospital. We attempt to rescue and after 23, the patient formally | :15:49. | :15:58. | |
died. The acclaim for his role as Tony Soprano was the launching pad | :15:58. | :16:05. | |
for a successful film career. He was often cast in authority roles. In in | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
the loop, he played an army general, a road where he also showed he did | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
have the light touch needed for comedy. This is the number, combat | :16:14. | :16:23. | |
troops available... 12. At the time of his death he had just finished | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
working on a new film and was working on an American version of | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
BBC series criminal justice. It will be remembered as a larger-than-life | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
figure who managed to bring sympathy and humility to the most corrupt and | :16:37. | :16:44. | |
vicious of characters. James Gandolfini, who has died at the age | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
of 51. Authorities in Brazil's two bigger | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
cities have backed down at plans to increase ticket prices on public | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
transport, which have led to protests. It is the worst unrest | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
seen on the streets of Brazil in 20 years. | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
Another night of violence in this part of real estate. Protesters | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
again -- Rio estate. Police clashing with protesters who used rubber | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
bullets and tear gas. Attacking the bus was symbolic. This whole protest | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
movement started over plans to put up bus fares by just a few pennies | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
but it spiralled into so much more. The mayor of Rio gave a news | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
conference where he announced a climb-down over bus fares but | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
accepted this would not end the protests. Let's not confuse some | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
protests that happen in countries that have dictatorships, with what | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
is happening in Brazil. We don't want to control the protesters. They | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
have the right to protest. To say whatever they want. This is what we | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
are going to protect. To protect the right to protest. Many of them are | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
young. This group is campaigning for taxpayers money to be spent on | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
social programmes, rather than World Cup stadiums. People are dying in | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
public hospitals, their transportation is terrible, people | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
are taking three or four hours to commute to work on a daily basis. | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
People are getting angry because we are living a lie and they don't want | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
this lie any more. We want to talk and resolve this problem. I think of | :18:25. | :18:33. | |
this generation being the first that was born in a democratic country. It | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
is critical of democratic constitutions and wants to make them | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
better and more participator. It is when a lot of people who were born | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
in the late 80s are coming of age, taking part in a political process | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
for the first time and they have found out that the walls of | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
government are traditionally closed. Different people have different | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
reasons to take to the streets and there is no one group in charge. | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
Protesters have been using social media to organised and stations and | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
they say they will get hundreds of thousands of people on the streets | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
of Rio again, marching to the Maracana Stadium ahead of the next | :19:13. | :19:20. | |
game in the Confederations Cup. The jury in the case of Jeremy | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
Forrest, the teacher accused of abducting a 15-year-old pupil, has | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
retired to consider is verdict. He denies a single charge of child | :19:27. | :19:34. | |
abduction. Our correspondent Duncan Canady is at Lewes Crown Court for | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
us. A summing up from the judge today. Yes, the judge did his | :19:38. | :19:45. | |
summing up and he boiled it down to two choices for the jury. Did Jeremy | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
Forrest remove the girl in question from the lawful control of her | :19:50. | :19:57. | |
mother. If found guilty they should find him guilty of child abduction. | :19:57. | :20:05. | |
Or was it in order to save her life? If they agree with that, they should | :20:05. | :20:12. | |
find him not guilty of child abduction. It is in relation to a | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
quote from the girl who said you would take her own life if she was | :20:16. | :20:24. | |
not able to go with Jeremy Forrest. Forrest denies abducting the girl | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
and taking her to France in September of last year. There was a | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
big manhunt, they were in bitterly found in Bordeaux after seven or | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
eight days. -- eventually found. The girl was in court this morning, | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
listening at the back of the court. So was the family of Jeremy Forrest. | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
The jury spent an hour or so deliberating today and will continue | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
deliberations this afternoon. Retailers had a good month in May | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
according to the latest figures. Emma Simson is here with me. | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
Something of a bounce back? I think it is worth remembering that in | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
April we saw some pretty terrible figures. The amount of goods sold | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
was down 1.3% on the previous month. That was largely explained by Easter | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
coming early and some bad weather, one of the coldest spring is on | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
record, just at a time when retailers were filling up the stores | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
with some addresses and garden furniture, stuff that people did not | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
want to buy. One month later, up 2.1%. A very good performance | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
indeed. This growth has largely been driven promotions and discounts, | :21:34. | :21:41. | |
Tula Ross back in so retailers can start shifting the stock they were | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
not able to sell in April -- to lure us back in. Food sales through at a | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
strongest monthly rate for two years, so a real bounce back. | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
do you read into it? Monthly figures can be volatile especially given | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
this unpredictable weather. But there is some modest growth. The | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
signs are that perhaps we are starting to head in the right | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
direction. The question is, can it be sustained? Retailers are still | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
not finding it very easy. We have just heard that the retail chain, | :22:16. | :22:26. | |
:22:26. | :22:26. | ||
the furniture chain Dwell has ceased trading this morning. It has 23 | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
stores, mainly in the south, the company has been trying to raise | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
funding but it has not worked out. This morning it said it had been | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
left with no option but to close the whole business with immediate | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
effect. It has around 300 employees who are awaiting the appointment of | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
administrators. Another retail casualty. | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
Too many mentally ill people are being held for too long in police | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
cells, according to a report from four watchdogs in England and Wales. | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
Some of those who were detained were as young as 14. Among the reasons | :22:58. | :23:06. | |
given were a lack of beds and staff at health facilities. | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
It was a Friday night, it was quite hectic and busy. There were people | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
kicking off, people being restrained, people shouting and | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
sharing. It is a place for criminals, not people who are | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
feeling ill. Claire Greaves was recovering from depression and taken | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
to a police cell, after complaining of feeling suicidal. A bed in a | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
psychiatric hospital was not available. I think it was the wrong | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
place and it is something I am never going to forget I have spent, a | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
night in a cell. It was a distressing environment and makes | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
you feel like you have done something wrong because you are sat | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
in a cell on a Friday night. More than 9000 patients like Clare were | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
taken to police cells last year, says today's report. A power to | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
protect people from harm that officers are meant to use in | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
exceptional circumstances, it is being used routinely. This is the | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
hospital that Clare could not get into. They say they do their best to | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
admit patients when they can. Across England, mental health professionals | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
say services are in a state of crisis and too many patients are | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
spending time inappropriately in police cells. Provisional NHS | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
figures give an insight into the problem. They suggest around 2000 | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
mental health beds in England, about 12% of the total, were cut last | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
year. Alternative community support, say experts, cannot keep up | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
with increasing demand. We have had reduction in beds but not had an | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
improvement, or enough of an improvement in community services | :24:44. | :24:51. | |
and crisis services. People are finding themselves being dealt with | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
by inadequate crisis responses and systems really under pressure. | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
Patients, not police, should be at the heart of treating mental health | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
problems. The Department of Health say they are looking at ways of | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
making that truism a reality. The British and Irish Lions head | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
coach, Warren Gatland, has named his team for Saturday 's first test | :25:12. | :25:19. | |
against Australia. Alex Corbisiero is a surprise inclusion while George | :25:19. | :25:26. | |
North has recovered from a hamstring injury to get a place in the | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
starting line-up. Just two days from one of the | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
biggest games in their lives but the mood in the Lions camp was | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
surprisingly relaxed on a release of tension because the team to face | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
Australia on Saturday has finally been revealed and the chosen few are | :25:42. | :25:51. | |
walking tour. -- walking tall. days. It was awesome. It is what you | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
want to achieve when you are a young boy. Even though they have announced | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
the team, I still feel pretty relaxed. Any day apart from match | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
day. Alex Corbisiero was not in the original Lions squad but he now | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
finds himself as a surprise starter in a team that many believe will | :26:11. | :26:19. | |
win. Everyone has hit form at the right time. The second rowers in | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
particularly at massive -- had massive games last time out. I think | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
the Australians will be cold and the Lions have had matches which are | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
wide -- is why I think they will win. Australia have not played a | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
match and is last year, they have been plagued by injury and named | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
three debutants, they still represent a formidable challenge. | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
Australia beat the tourists when the teams last met down under, 12 years | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
on the coasts are intent on taming the Lions once again. Among an | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
ever-growing number of supporters, everyone has an opinion on today's | :26:57. | :27:05. | |
team selection. But all here are united by a desire for victory. | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
Come on, the Lions! It is ladies Day at Royal Ascot and | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
the Queen will be hoping her much fancied horse, The Economy, triumphs | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
in the Gold Cup later this afternoon. -- her much fancied | :27:19. | :27:29. | |
:27:29. | :27:32. | ||
forced the closure of one of the most famous Catholic pilgrimage | :27:32. | :27:38. | |
shrines in the world. Nearly a metre of water has forced the closure of | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
Lourdes and pilgrims have been told to leave the site. | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
Thousands of pilgrims usually come here each week to bathe in the | :27:45. | :27:52. | |
tranquil waters around the Lourdes shrine, but big toe is barely | :27:52. | :28:00. | |
visible above the water and the hundreds of pilgrims who visit have | :28:00. | :28:05. | |
had to be evacuated. Lourdes has been a place of pilgrimage since | :28:05. | :28:13. | |
Saint Bernadette was reportedly visited by the Virgin Mary in the -- | :28:13. | :28:21. | |
but it is feared floodwater has done extensive damage to the site. | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
Floodwaters have covered large parts of south-western France, two people | :28:24. | :28:29. | |
have already died as a result of the extreme weather. The water levels | :28:29. | :28:32. | |
are now receding in Lourdes and people are beginning to assess the | :28:32. | :28:36. | |
damage. But the cost of repairing the shrine is expected to run into | :28:36. | :28:45. | |
Let's see what is in store closer to home. | :28:45. | :28:50. | |
Not quite as warm as yesterday but still a lot of humidity and given | :28:50. | :28:54. | |
some sunshine, it is likely we could see heavy showers and thundery | :28:54. | :28:59. | |
downpours in places, particularly in England. We did have some rain | :28:59. | :29:03. | |
spread northwards during the morning and through the Midlands. A lot of | :29:03. | :29:06. | |
rain across the far north-west corner and across the south-east, an | :29:06. | :29:11. | |
area of heavy showers and storms pushing in towards the south-east | :29:11. | :29:16. | |
corner and East Anglia. This area working in towards the Midlands. A | :29:16. | :29:21. | |
lot of cloud and sea fog around the channel coasts. If we look across | :29:21. | :29:25. | |
Scotland, a lot of rain for northern and western areas, persistent rain | :29:25. | :29:33. | |
for the Highlands. Across south-east Scotland, a fine afternoon to come. | :29:33. | :29:37. | |
Sunshine fading from the Belfast area, turning grey and wet. For much | :29:37. | :29:41. | |
of England and Wales, a scattering of heavy, thundery downpours, | :29:41. | :29:45. | |
triggered off by some sunshine which could lift the temperatures. | :29:45. | :29:52. | |
Outbreaks of rain across western Wales. For ladies Day at Ascot it | :29:52. | :29:55. | |
will be dry, quite warm but I could not rule out the odd heavy shower as | :29:55. | :29:59. | |
we move through the course of the afternoon. Tomorrow it looks like | :29:59. | :30:03. | |
there will be showers but sunshine. Overnight we continue to see | :30:03. | :30:09. | |
thundery downpours across much of England and Wales, beginning to push | :30:09. | :30:10. | |
eastwards and become confined towards East Anglia and the | :30:10. | :30:14. | |
south-east, where it will be warm and muddy. A lot of cloud around, | :30:14. | :30:20. | |
bits and pieces of rain, temperatures into single figures. A | :30:20. | :30:26. | |
legacy of showers and storms eventually clearing away, and an | :30:26. | :30:30. | |
improving day with sunshine coming through, a few showers affecting | :30:30. | :30:35. | |
eastern areas. Locally quite warm in the South. For the tennis at | :30:35. | :30:39. | |
Gisborne, one or two showers through the course of awning and then it | :30:39. | :30:49. | |
:30:49. | :30:50. | ||
towards the weekend. The low-pressure brings heavy rain and a | :30:50. | :30:54. | |
drop in temperature and some strong winds. Some bands of the rain will | :30:54. | :30:59. | |
be heavy as we go through Saturday and Sunday, cooler for us all across | :30:59. | :31:03. | |
the country. The winds will be a feature, in fact touching gale force | :31:03. | :31:08. | |
in places, particularly across coastal areas but even inland, heavy | :31:08. | :31:13. | |
rain and showers at times. Temperatures ranging from 14 to 17 | :31:13. | :31:23. | |
