Buckingham Palace this morning, the changing of the guard and a change | :02:29. | :02:39. | |
to the programme of music. Congratulations, a familiar tune | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
reflecting a widespread sentiment as the country marked the birth of | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
William and Catherine's son. At St Mary's Hospital, where the | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
inevitable baby themed presents were being delivered, the massed ranks of | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
the international media were watching and waiting and hoping that | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
the couple would leave the hospital with their son later today. There is | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
no sign of it happening so far. A statement was issued from William | :03:03. | :03:13. | |

got? In Yorkshire, a new grandfather was relishing his role. It is very | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
exciting. So was the new stepgrandmother. I think it is | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
wonderful. The mother, son, father, are all doing well and it is a | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
wonderfully uplifting moment for the country, it is very exciting. It is | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
wonderful for the grandfather, use brilliant with children so he will | :03:45. | :03:55. | |
:03:55. | :04:02. | ||
have a wonderful time. -- he is message from Buckingham Palace was a | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
signal to celebrate. Blue was the colour being deployed. | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
Over at the London eye it was a patriotically red white and blue. | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
This was the marking of the birth of a few Germanic. The Prime Minister | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
recalled how he had heard the news. We had the thrilling news about the | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
royal baby, very exciting to get the phone call from Buckingham Palace, | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
being told that everything was good and fine. A very exciting day for | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
our country. I want to send my warmest congratulations to the Duke | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
and Duchess of Cambridge and I wish them and their new baby boy all the | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
health and happiness in the world. People right across Britain will be | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
absolutely delighted for them. at St Mary's Hospital, the rain had | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
started. Mother, son and father were all said to be doing well but there | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
was still no word of a departure, no sign of as it is, no hint of what | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
the baby might be called. Might he be a James, George, Henry or Philip | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
or something else. That is something only known at this stage to his | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
parents and they are remaining out of sight with their son, inside the | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
hospital. Let's go straight to the hospital | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
because of royal correspondent is there. It seems that the waiting | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
will go on a little longer. Yes, those eager to know the name of the | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
Prince of Cambridge will have to wait a little while longer. That | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
name is not in the public domain. And those eager for a glimpse of | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
this one-day-old Prince will also have to wait. The couple, after | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
having spent a night at this private wing, are spending much of the day. | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
They are said to be well but they are waiting for the green light from | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
the medical team. Once the medical team are happy, they will leave. It | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
will not be before 6pm this evening or possibly tomorrow morning. They | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
are adjusting to and enjoying family life. While they do that, the | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
congratulations flow in. This little addition, his great aunt gave her | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
celebratory message in typically direct and forthright fashion. She | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
said to reporters, this is Princess and, it is nothing to do with me but | :06:20. | :06:30. | |
:06:30. | :06:35. | ||
expected to spend much of their time in animated quarters at Kensington | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
Palace where William and Harry grew up. Comparisons have been drawn | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
between the childhood of the two princes and the future that awaits | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
baby Cambridge. Kensington Palace, a resident of the | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
British Royal Family since the 17th century and now home to a new | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
generation of Royals. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, with the new | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
Prince, will eventually live in apartment 18, a 24 room house within | :07:03. | :07:13. | |
the palace. -- apartment one a. Kensington Palace was his childhood | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
home am aware he lived with his parents and then with his mother | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
after their divorce, and Prince Harry. This baby will live in | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
palaces, not just because they are comfortable but also because they | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
are safe. Control over access to the baby absolutely lies in the hands of | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
William and Kate. His early school life happened locally, at Wetherby | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
prep school in nearby Notting Hill. The young Prince William quickly | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
grew used to the cameras. An experience that will undoubtedly | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
make him protective of his young son. But if the wait for the birth | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
is any indication, there will be an insatiable media appetite for | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
pictures and news of this baby boy. In the never-ending battle between | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
the palace and the media, the palace has had the upper hand. After what | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
happened with Diana, the palace is a protective of privacy. The | :08:08. | :08:17. | |
mainstream media in Britain don't push at the moment. It was once the | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
home of Princess Margaret and the palace remains a pretty full royal | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
residence. It is currently the London base of the tents and the | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
Gloucester 's. It is as home to the Cambridge is that this place will | :08:31. | :08:39. | |
now be known. Home to two future kings. | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
The birth has been celebrated at events here and across Britain but | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
one place with a special connection that is celebrating the new royal | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
prince is the village where the Duchess grew up, at Bucklebury in | :08:51. | :09:01. | |
:09:01. | :09:02. | ||
Berkshire. Sophie, there will be people who are | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
utterly fed up with the coverage but you would be hard pressed to find | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
anyone in Bucklebury and hard-pressed to find anyone at the | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
village school. It is the end of term, the end of the school year, it | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
has been hot, the were getting tired. This morning they came back | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
with sparkly eyes and full of excitement. Who knows what time he | :09:22. | :09:30. | |
was born? They have been following every detail at Bucklebury primary. | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
They are proud that their village has played a part in royal history. | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
Maybe some of you sitting in the front will be able to watch him | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
being crowned King of England, went that the exciting? That you will | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
remember when you are very small in school, you will remember the day he | :09:46. | :09:55. | |
was born. That is a big smile! No sign of tiredness at the school | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
gates, despite a very late night. Everybody takes Kate into their | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
hearts, and William. She is a local girl, she uses the local pub, the | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
shops when she is here. People feel like they own her, slightly, I | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
guess, but in a kind way. She is allowed to be her own person when | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
she is here. People respect her privacy, too. Will you be looking | :10:19. | :10:26. | |
out for the baby? Absolutely. My husband has the cycle route planned, | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
he is planning a detour around the lanes, to check it out. To see the | :10:30. | :10:39. | |
baby. He might hear it, perhaps, late at night. How about this for a | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
birth announcement, courtesy of the crew of HMS Lancaster. On patrol in | :10:44. | :10:53. | |
the Caribbean. Congratulations.And this from Prince William's RAF | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
search and rescue colleagues. William, Duchess, congratulations on | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
the birth of your baby boy. I hope you enjoy your paternity leave and | :11:01. | :11:09. | |
we will see you on shift soon. At Birmingham heartlands Hospital, | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
Tyler has no idea that he shares a birthday with a future king. Like | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
all babies born yesterday, he will get a silver coin to prove it. This | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
lady's daughter will also get one but she was far too busy dealing | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
with her own delivery to worry about the royal birth. My husband did say, | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
Kate has gone into labour and I said, which Kate? He said, Prince | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
William's wife! I said, give me more gas and air! First thing this | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
morning in the Duchy of Cornwall, a traditional way to welcome Royal | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
baby. Back in Bucklebury, normal lessons have been suspended, so the | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
children can make cards. Another special delivery for the Middletons | :11:55. | :12:02. | |
just up the road. As they dance around in the | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
playground this lunchtime they keep asking, is there a name yet? That is | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
what they want to know. The favourites from the playground are | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
Charles, Edward or George. All Ethan, but apparently because there | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
is a popular member of the school called Easson, rather than for any | :12:18. | :12:28. | |
:12:28. | :12:36. | ||
A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of an 82-year-old | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
man in Birmingham. A student from the Ukraine is acute of killing the | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
man as he returned from a mosque in April. The 25-year-old was also | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
charged with planting explosives in a mosque and other terrorist related | :12:53. | :13:03. | |
:13:03. | :13:04. | ||
is accused of terrorist offences against Muslims in the UK. He is | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
alleged to have murdered an 82-year-old man in April, as he | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
walked home from a mosque in Birmingham. The killing happened in | :13:12. | :13:20. | |
small fees, where the grandfather lived with his family. It has been | :13:20. | :13:28. | |
difficult for the last few months. We have taken his death personally | :13:28. | :13:38. | |
:13:38. | :13:40. | ||
and it has been very hard for all of us. Pavlo Lapshyn was arrested at a | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
Birmingham software company, just after he had started work there. He | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
appeared in the dock flanked by three police officers, saying little | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
apart from confirming his name and date of birth. As well as being | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
accused of the murder of Mohammed Saleem committee also been charged | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
with terrorist offences relating to the bombing of three mosques in the | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
West Midlands. He is also charged with making equipment including | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
explosive chemicals and modified mobile phones. Explosives were | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
discovered outside mosques in Wolverhampton, Tipton and Walsall. | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
Tech tips travelled to Ukraine. Pavlo Lapshyn will appear at the Old | :14:21. | :14:30. | |
Bailey in two days time -- detectives travelled to Ukraine. The | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
luxury car-maker Bentley is to produce a new model at its factory | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
in Cheshire, creating more than a thousand jobs. �800 million will be | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
invested to develop and build its first 4x4 style sports utility | :14:44. | :14:53. | |
vehicle. The new model will go on sale in 2016. | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
Research out today indicates white teenagers and now less likely to | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
apply to university than youngsters from any other ethnic group. This | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
year, 29% of white state educated students in England have applied, | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
composed with 40% of students with an Asian background and 34% of black | :15:09. | :15:19. | |
students. That is up from 27%. Our education correspondent Michael | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
Buchanan is here. What is the reason for these differences? This shows | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
that the overall number of students applying to university is up this | :15:29. | :15:36. | |
year, having fallen last year. But it detailed analysis of these | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
figures shows that whether you apply to university is strongly linked to | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
your colour, gender, where you live, and how much your parents earn. | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
Those with richer parents are more likely to apply. London and Northern | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
Ireland have much higher rates of application than teenagers in the | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
north-east and south-west, for instance. 29% of white teenagers, | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
whilst it is up to 50 -- 57% of teenagers from a Chinese background. | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
And combating the differences that are pinpointed here, is it clear how | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
that can be done? The number of white poor teenagers going to | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
university is up, it is just not as big an increase as it is from other | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
backgrounds. That is because of outreach programmes from | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
universities trying to encourage people to look at the merits of | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
going to university. The head of Ofsted, the chief inspector of | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
schools in England, spoke last year of an anti-school culture having | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
developed over decades among boys in poor white areas, and that will have | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
to be tackled, because if you don't value school, you won't value | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
university. Michael, thank you. The Iraqi | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
Ministry of Justice has formed a special committee to investigate the | :16:55. | :17:04. | |
escape of around 500 inmates from Abu grave. It includes some | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
dangerous leaders who have been sentenced to death. It is believed | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
that the prison guards helped some to escape. Thunderstorms sparked by | :17:13. | :17:23. | |
:17:23. | :17:24. | ||
the humid Rever -- the humid weather have caused travel difficulties, and | :17:24. | :17:31. | |
this time-lapse film was filmed in London over a two-hour period. | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
David Cameron has again indicated the public sport -- support for | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
Britain remaining part of the European Union is wafer thin. He | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
said it would be a mistake to have a referendum now, but he believed he | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
could negotiate a better deal for Britain in Europe, and put that to | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
people in 2017. Carole Walker, tell us more about what the Prime | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
Minister has been saying. David Cameron was asking questions | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
from workers at the Bentley factory in Crewe, and asked whether he | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
thought the promise of Aref Rendon could create uncertainty and put off | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
foreign investors. He was able to point to that news that you | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
mentioned a few minutes ago - more German investment meaning another | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
factory being built, and more jobs coming from that. But he said was | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
important to recognise that public support for our membership of the U | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
is wafer thin. His argument is that you can't just vary your head in the | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
sand over this, it is important to face up to it and change the way | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
Europe works, make it more efficient, more outward looking, and | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
he said he felt that the sounding as he had got from other European | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
partners meant that if he wins the general election, he will be able to | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
negotiate a better deal for Britain, and then when that referendum by the | :18:51. | :19:00. | |
end of 2017. -- win the referendum. Tens of thousands of people have | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
welcomed Pope Francis to Brazil on his first foreign visit as the head | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
of the Catholic Church. There were protests against the visit within | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
hours of his arrival in re-engineering. | :19:14. | :19:24. | |
:19:24. | :19:24. | ||
The Pope's entourage had barely arrived when a tense stand-off | :19:24. | :19:32. | |
erupted. -- in Rio de Janeiro. Riot police responded in overwhelming | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
numbers to what has become a pattern of confrontation between the two | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
sides. This is not the image the government of Brazil or the state of | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
Rio de Janeiro would have wanted portrayed on such an important | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
night. The Pope has just left the Governors Palace down this road | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
about half a narrow go, and now we have this running battle between | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
heavily armed riot police and anti-government protesters. The | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
Pope's visit to Brazil had started in a much more relaxed atmosphere - | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
to relaxed for some officials. When the small family car in which he was | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
travelling was surrounded by well-wishers and supporters, things | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
got a bit too close for comfort. The car came to a halt several times in | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
Rio's notorious traffic, but with his window wound down throughout, | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
the pontiff seemed at ease. This was his first overseas trip, and hugely | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
important on several levels. The Brazilian government will be anxious | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
it isn't overshadowed by the trouble that has blighted Brazilian cities | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
over the last month. It is a challenging time for the Church in | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
Brazil, the most populous Catholic country. Taking part in several high | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
profile events in the coming days, Pope Francis has made it clear he | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
intends to meet as many of his followers as possible. He will keep | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
well clear of commenting directly on Brazil's delicate internal problems, | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
but has already told his host about the importance of showing | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
consideration for each other. How's builders and lenders have been | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
meeting George Osborne to discuss plans to make billions of pounds of | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
mortgages available to people who can't afford large deposits -- house | :21:25. | :21:33. | |
builders. Simon Gompertz is here. Do we know any more about the details? | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
What we already have is a help to buy scheme which is already helping | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
thousands of people to buy newly built homes. What we are hearing | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
more about is a massive extension of that is to help buyers of older | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
homes, most of the market. It will be a bit like when you get a | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
mortgage but your family guarantees it to get you a better deal, except | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
the guarantee will come from the government, and therefore for the -- | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
from the taxpayer. The hope is that will mean more affordable mortgages | :22:04. | :22:13. | |
for people who can only afford a small deposit. It is aimed directly | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
at families watching this programme who can't afford to move up on the | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
housing ladder, can't afford to buy their first home because of problems | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
in the mortgage market, not because they themselves cannot afford to buy | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
a new home. It is not for second homes, they won't be allowed. And it | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
will help a situation where the number of first-time buyers is half | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
what it was five years ago. There has been a lot of concern that this | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
might concern -- create an unsustainable bubble in the housing | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
market, but the Chancellor was keen to emphasise today that they will be | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
stringent checks on borrowers to make sure there is no reckless | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
lending, and the Treasury has been pointing out that they don't think | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
we are anywhere near our bubble yet. Simon, thank you. This time last | :22:58. | :23:06. | |
year, building -- Britain was building up to the start of the | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
Olympics. And next year, the Commonwealth games begins in | :23:11. | :23:19. | |
Glasgow. Our Scotland corresponded Laura Becker is in Glasgow for us. | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
This is the newly revamped National hockey Centre, one of the 17 new | :23:25. | :23:32. | |
venues dotted around Glasgow for the games. Some of these players | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
practising here are in the young Scotland squad. The organisers of | :23:38. | :23:45. | |
the Games hope it will inspire and discover new talent. | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
Training to ride on the track is not your average day out, but the newly | :23:48. | :23:57. | |
built Sir Chris Hoyt cap velodrome has proved to be as popular as the | :23:57. | :24:05. | |
man himself. What would you like to say to him? I think you are very | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
good cyclist, and I wish I was like you. | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
He may not be completing -- competing next year, but as a games | :24:14. | :24:21. | |
ambassador, he is determined that it will be an event to rival London | :24:21. | :24:29. | |
2012. It is inspiring when you see an event up close. Watching it on TV | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
is great, but seeing it is live is a different thing altogether. It has | :24:35. | :24:42. | |
been six years since Glasgow won the bet -- the bid. In that time, three | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
new venues have been built. The bill will add up to over half �1 billion, | :24:46. | :24:53. | |
but organisers say it has been money well spent. We already have all of | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
our permanent sports events up and running, being used for the public. | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
There is a legacy happening right now. The point of this city Centre | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
party is detached tickets, which go on sale in just a few weeks. That | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
will be the real test as to whether the public having gauged with these | :25:10. | :25:19. | |
games. -- have engaged with these games. And if you fancy a ticket, | :25:19. | :25:29. | |
they go on sale on August 19, with prices around the �15 mark for adult | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
stop an extraordinary image of planet Earth has been capped should | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
buy the US space agency from a far-away probe. | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
This is the view from Saturn, and the blue pinprick in the distance is | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
our planet, 900 million miles away. The picture was taken from the | :25:46. | :25:56. | |
:25:56. | :26:03. | ||
spacecraft last Friday, and when you Buckingham Palace. | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
Matthew, thank you. The crowds are still from running to Buckingham | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
Palace this afternoon to catch a glimpse of the official notice | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
announcing the birth of the new baby Prince which is their in the | :26:16. | :26:25. | |
forecourt of the palace. There will be a 41 gun salute in Hyde Park and | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
62 rounds fired at the Tara London this afternoon. And at the same | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
time, the ringing of the bells over Westminster Abbey. The royal baby | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
has also been the focus of a lot of global media attention, as Ben | :26:39. | :26:46. | |
Geoghegan now reports. A boy for William and K to. Across | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
the world, the royal fairy tale is making headline news, and no doubt | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
keeping millions of viewers glued. It has happened! It was worth the | :26:55. | :27:02. | |
wait! In Australia, there was a breakfast TV toast with champagne. | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
This is a Commonwealth country where the monarchy is often the subject of | :27:05. | :27:13. | |
vigorous debate. We are wetting the baby's head. The arrival of the new | :27:13. | :27:19. | |
British Prince has brought congratulations from all sides. | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
Australia wishes the Royal baby all the best, and we wish the new | :27:23. | :27:31. | |
parents all the best as well. This is a day of great joy. In New | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
Zealand's capital, Wellington, they marked the occasion with a 21 gun | :27:33. | :27:41. | |
salute. On the other side of the world, the bunting was brought out. | :27:41. | :27:46. | |
Champagne and T1 on offer for a very British celebration in New York. | :27:46. | :27:50. | |
America got rid of the monarchy, but they can't get enough of this Royal | :27:50. | :27:55. | |
baby. Everyone in the world wants to be a princess when they are little, | :27:56. | :28:01. | |
so seeing a real live princess and Prince, and now a baby Prince, it is | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
really exciting. People just are happy to have something to | :28:06. | :28:11. | |
celebrate. The bells rang out in Canada, the first country catered | :28:11. | :28:16. | |
William went to on an official visit after their wedding. The tower was | :28:16. | :28:22. | |
lit in blue to honour the birth, as were Niagara Falls. On the streets | :28:22. | :28:26. | |
of Kingston, Jamaica, there were more well-wishers. It is good to | :28:26. | :28:33. | |
know that a baby is born, and it is royalty. It means a lot to us, not | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
only to me but to most of the Jamaican people. The new Prince has | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
been born into a world where millions will follow his progress. | :28:42. | :28:48. | |
What they want to know now is his name. | :28:48. | :28:53. | |
The baby was born on the hottest day for seven years, a day of thunder, | :28:53. | :29:03. | |
:29:03. | :29:04. | ||
lightning, and today doesn't feel hours, a hottest day of the year so | :29:04. | :29:12. | |
far followed by a thundery, rainy night. Do be aware that there could | :29:12. | :29:17. | |
be further disruption, and that is what we saw this morning. Those | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
bright red colours in the Manchester area indicative of torrential | :29:20. | :29:27. | |
rainfall, thunder and lightning. But the rain is on the move, moving its | :29:27. | :29:31. | |
way over North and East Woods. As it moves away, heavy showers follow | :29:31. | :29:37. | |
along behind, but it is not a thundery day everywhere. Across the | :29:37. | :29:45. | |
south-west, it is a reasonably decent day. So, this afternoon, in | :29:45. | :29:51. | |
Scotland, we can expect a lot of cloud and rain at times as well. | :29:51. | :29:57. | |
There could be some hail and thunder. And a similar situation | :29:57. | :30:05. | |
across the North of England. The southeastern corner, temperatures up | :30:05. | :30:08. | |
above 25 Celsius, the heatwave warning still in place, and there | :30:08. | :30:14. | |
will be further heavy showers to come. Across the south-west, largely | :30:14. | :30:21. | |
dry bar the odd shower in Cornwall. And some warmth to be found, 23 also | :30:21. | :30:28. | |
in Cardiff. It changes again as we get towards Northern Ireland, back | :30:28. | :30:33. | |
into the thundery area with some hefty showers. This evening and | :30:33. | :30:37. | |
overnight, the emphasis shift eastwards, so eastern areas could be | :30:37. | :30:41. | |
quite wet overnight. The Newcastle area of towards Edinburgh could | :30:42. | :30:50. | |
potentially be very wet. Into tomorrow, the rain will slowly clear | :30:50. | :30:53. | |
away from East Anglia, a longer process for the rain to clear from | :30:53. | :31:01. | |
Scotland. It will be a day of sunny spells and showers. Many places | :31:01. | :31:05. | |
enjoying a dry, bright day, and quite warm again. In Glasgow, | :31:05. | :31:11. | |
possibly as high as 26. As for the rest of the week, Thursday and | :31:11. | :31:15. | |
Friday, scattered thunderstorms, mostly in the north and west. The | :31:15. | :31:18. | |
further south and east you are, that is where the best of the sunshine | :31:18. | :31:24. | |
will be found. Over the next few days, don't forget that you can keep | :31:24. | :31:26. | |
days, don't forget that you can keep up-to-date with the warnings online, | :31:26. | :31:32. | |
now it is back to Buckingham Palace and Sophie. Thank you. A remand of | :31:32. | :31:37. | |
