At least 90 people have died after a ship carrying migrants from Africa

sank off the coast of Italy. Around 200 are still missing. Many children

BBC News At One. At least 92 people have been killed after a ship

:01:44.:01:47.

carrying as many as 500 migrants from Africa caught fire and sank

:01:47.:01:52.

just off the Italian island of Lampedusa in the early hours of this

:01:52.:01:55.

morning. Dozens of people have been rescued from the sea, but it is

:01:55.:02:00.

thought the boat was carrying up to 500 people, meaning around 250 are

:02:00.:02:03.

still missing. The boat caught fire and thank when it was half a mile

:02:03.:02:08.

from the coast. Some viewers may find the images in this report

:02:08.:02:10.

disturbing. Body after body being brought

:02:10.:02:15.

ashore. Testimony to the scale of this disaster. For each victim, this

:02:15.:02:23.

was the tragic end to a long journey from Africa, from places like

:02:23.:02:30.

Eritrea and Somalia. They had been coming to Italy packed aboard a boat

:02:30.:02:34.

that was carrying as many as 500 people, but 12 hours after leaving

:02:34.:02:38.

Libya disaster struck. Fire broke out. As the burning vessel sank

:02:38.:02:45.

beneath them, the passengers flung themselves into the sea. But an

:02:45.:02:51.

emergency signal had been sent and Coast Guard ships and helicopters

:02:52.:02:56.

raced to the scene. Dozens were rescued were but with so many still

:02:56.:03:00.

unaccounted for the fear is the number of dead will rise.

:03:00.:03:06.

TRANSLATION: There were 500 people in the boat.

:03:06.:03:09.

We must act to do everything possible now. In this difficult

:03:10.:03:11.

We must act to do everything moment we want to appeal to

:03:11.:03:19.

Italians, Mediterranean people and European people, Europe must have

:03:19.:03:22.

its say in this matter with migration policies and the fight

:03:22.:03:26.

against human trafficking. At this time of the year when the sea is

:03:26.:03:30.

calm, migrants attempt to reach Italy almost every day, often in

:03:30.:03:34.

overcrowded, unseaworthy boats. This is just the latest tragedy of Italy

:03:34.:03:38.

will stop there were more bodies to count a few days ago. This time on a

:03:38.:03:44.

beach in Sicily. 13 migrants drowned as they tried to swim from a vessel

:03:44.:03:50.

as it approached the shore. The Coast Guard suspect the crew had

:03:50.:03:53.

forced some of those who died to attempt the swim.

:03:53.:04:00.

We can speak to Allen Johnson in Rome. This search has been going on

:04:00.:04:05.

for many hours, some of them hundreds who are still missing. What

:04:05.:04:09.

is the latest? That is right. This major disaster unfolding as we

:04:09.:04:14.

speak, that search going on. It may be late into the night perhaps

:04:14.:04:17.

tomorrow when we finally get a sense of just how many people perished in

:04:17.:04:20.

this major disaster. But as I was of just how many people perished in

:04:20.:04:25.

saying in the peace there, this is the time of year when Italy braces

:04:25.:04:30.

itself for this kind of thing on a daily basis. Hundreds of people

:04:30.:04:34.

arriving boats that land in Sicily and along the boot of Italy. These

:04:34.:04:39.

are people from places like the Horn of Africa, conflict zones like

:04:39.:04:44.

Syria, people trying to escape economic hardship in subsurface are

:04:44.:04:48.

-- sub-Saharan Africa. We sport talking about more than 20,000

:04:48.:04:51.

perhaps this year and reception centres in southern Italy full of

:04:52.:04:55.

people, the sense that Italy is on the front line and the rest of

:04:55.:04:58.

Europe is not doing enough to help this country cope with this problem.

:04:58.:05:03.

Serious Case Review says child protection workers failed to prevent

:05:03.:05:08.

the death of a two-year-old boy in Birmingham, who was killed by his

:05:08.:05:12.

mother. Keanu Williams was beaten to death by Rebecca Shuttleworth, who

:05:12.:05:16.

was jailed for life in June. Keanu was the latest child to die despite

:05:16.:05:20.

being known to Birmingham's troubled children's services department.

:05:20.:05:27.

Jordan Reid drowned by his mother. Tony and Byfield, shot dead. Kyra

:05:27.:05:35.

Ishaq, starved to death. Murdered by an uncle. Dylan, killed by his

:05:35.:05:40.

mother's boyfriend and now Keanu Williams, six dead children, all

:05:40.:05:45.

known to Birmingham social services during their short lives. Rebecca

:05:45.:05:47.

Shuttleworth, seen here celebrating a lottery win months after Keanu's

:05:47.:05:51.

death, is serving a life sentence for his murder. When he died, Keanu

:05:51.:05:58.

had 30 -- 37 different injuries on his body. While his death may not

:05:58.:06:02.

have been predictable, today's Serious Case Review says it could

:06:02.:06:06.

have been predicted that Keanu was likely to suffer significant harm.

:06:06.:06:11.

Was an entirely preventable death and it was an unacceptable, totally

:06:11.:06:17.

acceptable range of failures, organisationally, collectively,

:06:17.:06:20.

individually, people failed Keanu. They didn't see him, they didn't

:06:20.:06:25.

look through his eyes, they did not walk in his footsteps. Keanu spent

:06:25.:06:31.

his final days here, but in truth he had no home, no toys and little

:06:31.:06:35.

care. Frequently moving around as his mother's partners changed. Four

:06:35.:06:40.

visits to accident and emergency and five months failed to arouse

:06:40.:06:43.

sufficient enquiries. A crucial child protection meeting of 2009

:06:43.:06:47.

concluded that Keanu was not at risk child protection meeting of 2009

:06:47.:06:51.

of significant harm. We failed Keanu. We have the focus on Keanu at

:06:51.:06:55.

the very beginning of his life that was right. We did not sustain that

:06:55.:07:00.

focus. We got distracted by the family support rather than the focus

:07:00.:07:03.

on the risks. With tragic consequences, we are genuinely very

:07:03.:07:06.

sorry for those and we hope that what we are saying today is the

:07:06.:07:10.

beginnings of the turning of the corner that we owe Keanu and

:07:10.:07:14.

children today. Children's services in Birmingham have been inadequate

:07:14.:07:19.

for years. Today, there are more than 100 vacancies, rising caseloads

:07:19.:07:22.

and high sickness levels. This lawyer, who successfully sued the

:07:22.:07:27.

Department on behalf of families let down by social services, says there

:07:27.:07:30.

could be more preventable deaths. There is every likelihood that it

:07:30.:07:34.

will happen in the future. They don't seem to have appropriate

:07:34.:07:37.

reviews. They don't seem to get involved quickly enough and they

:07:37.:07:42.

don't necessarily take on board some of the warning signs that are passed

:07:42.:07:49.

on to them by members of the public. Council leaders acknowledge that

:07:49.:07:52.

promises to improve will sound hollow, given that years of failure

:07:52.:07:56.

but something must change to prevent other children suffering like Keanu

:07:56.:08:02.

Williams. The Labour leader Ed Miliband has

:08:02.:08:06.

written to the owner of the Daily Mail group demanding an

:08:06.:08:09.

investigation into why one of their journalists was sent uninvited to a

:08:09.:08:13.

private memorial for his uncle. Mr Billy Bonds says a line of common

:08:13.:08:19.

decency has been crushed -- crossed after a reporter approached members

:08:19.:08:22.

of his family. In a letter he says, you should conduct your own swift

:08:23.:08:27.

investigation into who was responsible at a senior level for

:08:27.:08:32.

this latest episode and also who is responsible for the culture and

:08:32.:08:34.

practices of these newspapers which jar so badly with the values of your

:08:34.:08:39.

readers. Our political correspondent Iain Watson is outside the Daily

:08:39.:08:42.

Mail offices in central London and in the last few minutes we have

:08:42.:08:46.

heard that the editor of the mail on Sunday has apologised unreservedly

:08:46.:08:52.

for this. That is absolutely right. A very fast-moving story. The letter

:08:52.:08:57.

was sent by Ed Miliband at about 11:30am and we have an apology just

:08:57.:09:03.

after one o'clock. What Ed Miliband was complaining about is that at a

:09:03.:09:06.

memorial service yesterday for his uncle, which should have been a

:09:06.:09:09.

private service just for close colleagues and family, a reporter

:09:09.:09:13.

from the Mail on Sunday asking questions about his late father,

:09:13.:09:17.

Ralph Miliband, asking questions about the row with the Daily Mail

:09:17.:09:21.

over its accusation that Ralph Miliband, Ed's father hated Britain.

:09:21.:09:25.

Ed Miliband says that his family were shocked and appalled by the

:09:25.:09:30.

Mail on Sunday tactics and instead of taking this to press complaint

:09:30.:09:32.

commission, the body that deals with this, he said that body was now

:09:32.:09:37.

discredited and he went to the proprietor of the Daily Mail and the

:09:37.:09:40.

discredited and he went to the Mail on Sunday and asked for him to

:09:40.:09:43.

investigate and wanted action taken. In the past few minutes the editor

:09:43.:09:46.

investigate and wanted action taken. of the Mail on Sunday has apologised

:09:46.:09:50.

unreservedly but what has not happened is any apology at all from

:09:50.:09:52.

unreservedly but what has not the Daily Mail for the original

:09:52.:09:54.

story that sparked this off, suggesting that Ralph Miliband, the

:09:55.:09:59.

Marxist academic, hated Britain. They are standing by that story.

:09:59.:10:04.

They are not giving an inch yet but the row takes place against a very

:10:04.:10:06.

interesting backdrop. Next week the privy Council, headed by Nick Clegg,

:10:07.:10:13.

the average time trimester, will be discussing press regulation and

:10:13.:10:16.

there is a feeling that perhaps the Daily Mail has shot itself in the

:10:16.:10:19.

foot ahead of that meeting because they may have made the case for

:10:19.:10:23.

press regulation. The Mail on Sunday has very quickly apologised.

:10:23.:10:30.

Payday lenders could be forced to put warnings about the dangers of

:10:30.:10:35.

debt on their adverts. It is one of several new rules being proposed by

:10:35.:10:38.

the Financial Conduct Authority to try to protect consumers will stop

:10:38.:10:41.

under the plans the watchdog would also be able to ban any loans or

:10:41.:10:46.

adverts that it did not approve of. The payday loans industry said it

:10:46.:10:49.

would welcome the changes if they helped to protect consumers. Simon

:10:49.:10:55.

Gompertz reports. It is time for new controls on a

:10:55.:11:00.

mushrooming loans industry with sky-high rates and half its profit

:11:00.:11:03.

made from borrowers who can't pay the money back on time. Borrowers

:11:03.:11:09.

like Debbie Burgess, who recently told us she took £400 from a payday

:11:09.:11:12.

lender when she needed to pay the rent, then got hooked in when she

:11:12.:11:17.

was offered larger sums every month. Do not touch them. You are on a

:11:17.:11:22.

downward spiral, I think. Basically if you need that sort of money to

:11:22.:11:26.

get you through the month I would rather have asked my family. To

:11:26.:11:31.

protect people like Debbie, the Financial Conduct Authority can

:11:31.:11:33.

already close lenders. Now it says it will also ban misleading adverts

:11:33.:11:38.

for payday loans under the credit, require risk warnings on the ads and

:11:38.:11:42.

limit the number of times you can rollover alone incurring high

:11:42.:11:47.

charges to just twice. What we are finding is that the loans are being

:11:47.:11:50.

made to people who frankly can't afford them and who end up in a debt

:11:50.:11:55.

spiral, in a serious poverty situation. We want to avoid that.

:11:55.:12:00.

Dalston in London has one of the highest concentrations of lenders,

:12:00.:12:04.

most people though not all want them curbed. I think they are sharks and

:12:04.:12:10.

the King on vulnerable people. Once people start using them they realise

:12:10.:12:15.

how high the interest. I knew what I was getting myself into. The rates

:12:15.:12:19.

are quite high but then again they were able to help me when I needed

:12:20.:12:26.

it. Four in ten of the borrowers are relying on the money to pay for

:12:26.:12:31.

essentials. What is typical in places like this is for the

:12:31.:12:34.

borrowers, desperate to feed their families, to come straight from the

:12:34.:12:37.

lenders on the high Street and spend the money on food. The lenders say

:12:37.:12:42.

they are checking more carefully whether people can afford the loans.

:12:42.:12:46.

are except there have been things that have gone wrong in the past and

:12:46.:12:48.

things which should not have been done but the rate responsible

:12:49.:12:54.

lenders lending to people with the right protection in place. Some are

:12:54.:12:58.

calling for the interest rates, which can run to thousands of

:12:58.:13:01.

percent, to be capped. The regulator will have that power but does not

:13:01.:13:09.

plan to use it for the moment. GPs say they are facing a £400

:13:09.:13:14.

million black hole in funding, which they say is having a disastrous

:13:14.:13:19.

effect on patient care. The head of the Royal College of GPs says the

:13:19.:13:22.

profession has reached tipping point because doctors are having to do

:13:22.:13:26.

more with fewer resources. The warning comes after the prime

:13:26.:13:30.

minister said he wanted GP surgeries in England to stay open longer to

:13:30.:13:33.

make it easier for patients to see their doctor. Here is our health

:13:33.:13:40.

correspondent, Branwen Jeffreys. Since John Crompton became a GP, the

:13:40.:13:46.

job has changed. Euan apologies, we do not seem to have the pictures to

:13:46.:13:50.

go with that report. We will take you on to the top stories this

:13:50.:13:54.

lunchtime. At least 94 people have died, including 30 children, after a

:13:54.:13:59.

ship carrying migrants from Africa sank off the coast of Italy. Around

:13:59.:14:05.

200 are still missing. Still to come, a promise of bigger jackpots

:14:05.:14:08.

and more prizes, but it comes at a cost. The price of a lottery ticket

:14:08.:14:13.

has gone up. Later on BBC London, claims that

:14:13.:14:17.

councils in the capital could lose millions of pounds because of a

:14:17.:14:21.

government benefits cap. And from principal dancer to choreographer,

:14:21.:14:25.

Carlos Acosta prepares for his biggest challenge yet.

:14:25.:14:41.

They were sent on the most daring operations in the Second World War

:14:41.:14:48.

and the bravery of their pilots was immortalised on film. But 70 years

:14:48.:14:53.

later the legendary Dambusters quadrant is preparing for its final

:14:53.:14:54.

mission. After deployment to quadrant is preparing for its final

:14:54.:14:59.

Afghanistan the unit will be temporarily wound down until new

:14:59.:15:03.

fighter jets arrived in three years' time. Caroline Wyatt is at

:15:03.:15:11.

RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland. Here at RAF Lossiemouth there is a real

:15:11.:15:16.

awareness of the history of this squadron, the ethos and what it

:15:16.:15:20.

means what today's pilots and ground crews as they prepare to

:15:20.:15:25.

take these tornadoes to Afghanistan for its third and final deployment

:15:25.:15:32.

on operations in Afghanistan. Their legendary predecessors watch over

:15:32.:15:37.

them as today's squadron prepares for operations to Afghanistan. The

:15:37.:15:44.

squadron's history is ever present, even 70 years on from the daring

:15:44.:15:46.

squadron's history is ever present, mission that gave them their name.

:15:46.:15:52.

The mission rehearsal to date is a realistic one for this Tornado

:15:52.:15:58.

pilot, Alan Spence, at 29 already a veteran of Afghanistan. This will

:15:58.:16:04.

be his third tour of duty. His assistant officer is on his first

:16:04.:16:09.

tour of duty. Unlike in the summer when we have crystal clear, blue

:16:09.:16:13.

skies and know whether to worry about, we will be battling cloud,

:16:13.:16:19.

disability, or rain, ice and snow and it will make the take-off and

:16:19.:16:24.

recoveries more challenging. My family have come to terms with it.

:16:24.:16:28.

It has not been a rush decision because I have been in the air

:16:28.:16:31.

force was seven years and they have seen this on the horizon. The

:16:31.:16:37.

Scottish skies and the waters of the Moray Firth stand in for the

:16:37.:16:40.

mountains and valleys of Afghanistan, but the Dambusters

:16:40.:16:44.

will be called on to support NATO and Afghan troops, still under fire

:16:44.:16:50.

even as a combat mission draws to a close. At 45 Ian is the squadron's

:16:50.:16:58.

most experienced navigator. He last was in Afghanistan flying with the

:16:59.:17:02.

French and will again leave his wife and two children back at home.

:17:02.:17:08.

It is as difficult as ever for the family, because the families never

:17:08.:17:12.

get a mention, but they are left at home and they are the ones left

:17:12.:17:17.

managing whilst we jet off and do our thing. 70 years ago this March,

:17:17.:17:24.

the Dambusters took to the skies to help turn the tide of war. This

:17:24.:17:30.

time they will fly together for the last time before they are disbanded

:17:30.:17:32.

next spring. In 2016 the squadron last time before they are disbanded

:17:32.:17:38.

will rise again with a joint fighter jet as the Tornados slowly

:17:38.:17:44.

take their place in RAF history. The technology that we have been

:17:44.:17:48.

seeing as they do their last mission rehearsal exercises is well

:17:48.:17:51.

beyond anything that could have been dreamt of in 1943 with

:17:51.:17:57.

everyone keen to stress that as they prepare for that mission, the

:17:57.:18:04.

ethos and what they wish to achieve remains the same.

:18:04.:18:12.

The West African state of Gambia has announced it is withdrawing

:18:12.:18:16.

from the Commonwealth with immediate effect. Gambia gained

:18:16.:18:21.

independence from Britain in 1965 and has been a Commonwealth member

:18:21.:18:22.

since then. A statement broadcast and has been a Commonwealth member

:18:22.:18:26.

on state television said Gambia would never be a party to any

:18:26.:18:31.

institution that represented an extension of colonialism. Earlier

:18:31.:18:36.

this year, the country was singled out for criticism in Britain's a

:18:36.:18:40.

Human Rights and Democracy Report. Michael Jackson's family have

:18:40.:18:44.

failed in their bid to sue a concert promoter for hundreds of

:18:44.:18:48.

millions of dollars following his death. The Jackson's claims AEG

:18:48.:18:54.

Live had been negligent when it hired Dr Conrad Murray who was

:18:54.:18:57.

convicted of causing the singer's death. But a jury in Los Angeles

:18:57.:19:02.

decided Dr Murray had been fit to attend to Michael Jackson.

:19:02.:19:08.

Waiting for a verdict outside court, the difference between a billion

:19:08.:19:13.

dollar peg from concert promoters AEG Live and the Jackson family

:19:13.:19:17.

getting nothing came down to two simple questions. A quest to number

:19:17.:19:23.

one, did AEG Live hire Dr Conrad married. Answer, yes. Conrad Murray

:19:23.:19:28.

was Michael Jackson's doctor. He was convicted in 2011 of giving the

:19:28.:19:35.

saner a fatal dose of anaesthetic. But was the company who hired him

:19:35.:19:40.

responsible? Was Dr Conrad Murray unfit or incompetent to perform the

:19:40.:19:44.

work for which he was hired? Answer, know. And that brought the case

:19:45.:19:52.

against AEG Live tumbling down. After five months picking through

:19:52.:19:55.

some of the sordid details of Michael Jackson's private life, the

:19:55.:19:58.

jury decided that AEG Live were not Michael Jackson's private life, the

:19:58.:20:02.

responsible for the singer's death and the family should not receive

:20:02.:20:07.

compensation. The jurors explained why they did not consider the man

:20:07.:20:11.

who killed Michael Johnson to be incompetent. Conrad Murray had a

:20:11.:20:16.

licence, he graduated from an accredited college and we felt he

was competent to do the job of being a general practitioner. That

does not mean we felt he was ethical. This was Michael Jackson's

courts and launch an appeal. They are promising bigger jackpots

:20:42.:20:47.

and more prizes, but it comes at a price. From today Lottery tickets

cost twice as much and are now £2 per line. It is the first price

:20:52.:20:58.

rise since the Lottery started in 1994. The operator Camelot said it

:20:58.:21:09.

would mean more money for charities. There was huge excitement and

:21:09.:21:12.

expectation when the National Lottery launched back in 1994. Even

:21:12.:21:18.

the then Prime Minister John Major called it the people's Lottery.

:21:18.:21:23.

People who wanted to be millionaires cued in shops to buy

:21:23.:21:26.

their first tickets, while helpers were on hand to Phillack the forms.

:21:26.:21:33.

Sales by the first draw were around £48 million. They peaked in 1997 to

:21:33.:21:41.

around £90 million a week. Current sales have fallen to £45 million a

:21:41.:21:46.

week. While the numbers and the balls remained the same there will

:21:46.:21:50.

be a bigger jackpot and a new raffle. The cost of tickets will

:21:50.:21:54.

increase to £2, the first rise since the game began. Camelot say

:21:54.:21:59.

it is about making the game better at four players. Our percentage

:21:59.:22:04.

profit goes down slightly. If sales go up over all, we will get some

:22:04.:22:10.

benefit. We can only earn more money if more players play. We

:22:10.:22:15.

cannot increase our percentage as a percentage of the whole game.

:22:15.:22:19.

Camelot operates the only national Lottery. The private Iran Health

:22:20.:22:24.

Lottery says they are exploiting players. They have Ms read the mood

:22:24.:22:30.

of the country. To put up the prices is scandalous. If there were

:22:30.:22:34.

a bread maker and the prize of a loaf of bread went up to double, it

:22:34.:22:40.

would be a terrible thing. Camelot say their research shows that when

:22:41.:22:45.

people understand the jackpots will be bigger and there will be more

:22:45.:22:50.

winners, they are happy to pay more. But if players cannot stretch to £2

:22:50.:22:54.

for a Lottery ticket, the other games are remaining at the same

:22:54.:22:58.

price. It is unlikely they will make the same amount of money

:22:58.:23:03.

because a quid is easy to handover. With two you have to make a

:23:03.:23:09.

decision. I do not smoke. So this is your advice? Yes. You do not

mind? Noble stock the first new draw takes place this Saturday. The

FIFA president Sepp Blatter wants to move the Qatar 2022 World Cup to

:23:23.:23:27.

the winter to avoid the high temperatures of an Arabian summer.

:23:27.:23:32.

But as members of FIFA gather in Zurich it appears his plans may be

:23:32.:23:36.

in trouble with several members of the committee who say they will not

:23:36.:23:40.

back the move. Dan Roan is in Zurich now. Is it likely to be

:23:40.:23:48.

moved? I think it is likely to be made in terms of its scheduling.

:23:48.:23:54.

All the signs here are that one of the most important, contentious and

:23:54.:23:57.

big decisions football has ever had to make will go into extra time. It

:23:57.:24:03.

is only day one of a two-day meeting and we will have to see

:24:03.:24:06.

what the President says when he addresses the media tomorrow at the

:24:06.:24:10.

end of the executive committee meeting. We do know certain members

:24:10.:24:14.

of that committee do think there should be a three to six months of

:24:14.:24:19.

reflection and fact-finding before what would be a huge decision is

:24:19.:24:24.

made. Sepp Blatter wanted it to be made in this meeting and then there

:24:24.:24:28.

could be some form of consultation once the decision to move the World

:24:28.:24:33.

Cup to the winter months is made. But Michel Platini, the head of

:24:33.:24:39.

Uefa, disagrees. He is a rival for the FIFA presidency as well, so it

:24:39.:24:45.

is becoming quite personal. Sepp Blatter will say tomorrow that

:24:45.:24:48.

whilst they intend to move the timing of the World Cup, that

:24:48.:24:52.

decision will not be made now. There seems to be an increasing

:24:52.:24:55.

focus on the migrant workers who have been used to build the venues.

:24:55.:25:01.

That is right. In the last few minutes there has been a rally

:25:01.:25:04.

stage right outside FIFA headquarters in Zurich by the

:25:04.:25:09.

global building workers' trade union protesting at an

:25:10.:25:14.

investigation that was conducted by the Guardian newspaper in which

:25:14.:25:18.

they found a number of fatalities in recent months link to migrant

it seems the striking resemblance between the late francs and that

:25:37.:25:41.

Jack and the son of the actress Mia Farrow may not be a coincidence

:25:41.:25:46.

after all. Ronan Farrow was thought to be Woody Allen's son, but now

:25:46.:25:51.

Mia Farrow has hinted he may not be after all. 15 years after his death,

:25:51.:26:01.

Frank Sinatra is still thought of as one of the great entertainment

:26:01.:26:08.

icons. When he died in 1998, he was greeted by millions and by the Sun

:26:08.:26:12.

and two daughters he left behind. Now it appears he may have fathered

:26:12.:26:18.

another son by his then ex-wife Mia Farrow. It is not just the

:26:18.:26:22.

similarity between them. In an interview with Vanity Fair when

:26:22.:26:27.

asked if Ronin could be Frank Sinatra's son Mia Farrow replied,

:26:27.:26:33.

possibly. They were married in 1966, but divorced after 18 months. Many

:26:33.:26:39.

years and another divorce later she began a long-term relationship with

:26:39.:26:44.

director Woody Allen. It was during this relationship in 1987, nearly

:26:44.:26:49.

20 years after her split from pranks and at Trent that Ronan

:26:49.:26:54.

Farrow was born. He was believed to be the son of a Woody Allen. But

:26:54.:26:59.

Mia Farrow says in her interview that she and Frank Sinatra never

:26:59.:27:05.

really split up. Ronan Farrow has said on Twitter, we are all

:27:05.:27:11.

possibly Frank Sinatra's son. Frank Sinatra's daughter Nancy said that

:27:11.:27:16.

Ronan Farrow is a big part of them. But it is unlikely to change

:27:16.:27:21.

anything for a Ronan Farrow or Frank Sinatra's family.

:27:21.:27:26.

Just before the weather, forecasters are warning of

:27:26.:27:30.

exceptional rainfall across much of the UK. It has already started to

:27:30.:27:36.

fall in some areas. The A83 in Argyll is closed after a landslip

:27:36.:27:41.

caused by the rain. James Cook is there for us now. How bad is it? It

:27:41.:27:47.

is a pretty serious incident especially if you live in this area.

:27:47.:27:52.

This is a main route through Argyll. We cannot get any further up the

:27:52.:27:57.

road because there have been previous land slips along the road

:27:57.:28:00.

and they are concerned there might be another one. There have been

:28:00.:28:05.

seven in the last five years. It has been a difficult time for

:28:05.:28:10.

motorists trying to get to work to and from their houses. We are being

:28:10.:28:14.

told in the past few minutes' work has begun to try to clear away 100

:28:14.:28:20.

tons of rubble that has ended up on the road. That will be a very

:28:20.:28:25.

difficult process. The problem was an intense bout of rainfall this

:28:25.:28:31.

morning between 6am and 9 am this morning. It is not over yet, there

:28:31.:28:35.

is more still to come not just here in Argyll, but in other parts of

:28:35.:28:42.

the country as well. And Darren Bent is here nodding.

:28:42.:28:47.

It has been a long time since we have had such widespread, heavier

:28:47.:28:53.

rental stock we have warnings from the Met Office. This is the radar

:28:53.:28:59.

picture. We have had rained for a while in Scotland and Northern

:28:59.:29:04.

Ireland. But this is heavy rain, thundery rain, that has been

:29:04.:29:08.

pushing into the South of England. It is heading northwards and we are

:29:08.:29:13.

all going to get some rain. These yellow areas are where we have the

:29:13.:29:17.

warnings and where we will have the biggest impact. In Scotland and

:29:17.:29:22.

Northern Ireland it is more the persistence of the rain. We should

Northern Ireland it is more the see the back of the rain in the

:29:24.:29:31.

south-west in the next few hours. It turns briefly drier later this

:29:31.:29:35.

afternoon, but sharp, thundery showers will follow the main band

:29:35.:29:39.

of rain as it works its way through the Midlands. It has been a decent

:29:39.:29:45.

day so far in Northern Ireland, but the rain will be following later on

:29:45.:29:51.

this afternoon. Heavy rain returning back into the western

:29:51.:29:55.

side of Scotland. A lot of water on the roads. In some places it is

:29:55.:30:02.

falling in a short space of time. Keep up-to-date on BBC local radio

:30:02.:30:08.

and online. As we head into this evening, a lot of rain around. This

:30:08.:30:14.

first area of heavy rain slides his way up into Scotland. More heavy,

:30:14.:30:20.

possibly thundery, rain comes into the south-west. Because of the rain,

:30:20.:30:27.

and at times gusty winds, it will be a mild night. We start wet

:30:28.:30:34.

tomorrow in many areas. This rain will ease off and push away into

:30:34.:30:39.

the North Sea. Through the afternoon it becomes drier and

:30:39.:30:44.

brighter. There will be a few showers dotted about. Temperatures

:30:44.:30:49.

tomorrow will be similar as those of today. Good news at the weekend

:30:49.:30:54.

because high pressure will be returning and building across

:30:54.:30:58.

England and Wales. This weather front will be weak as it goes into

:30:58.:31:02.

Scotland and Northern Ireland. Quite a bright weekend with some

:31:02.:31:10.

sunshine. Many places will be dry. The wind will pick up during the

:31:10.:31:12.

second half of the weekend. At least 90 people have died and 200

:31:12.:31:28.

are missing after a ship carrying Africans from
