BBC News at One. One of the men accused of murdering | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Fusilier Lee Rigby outside Woolwich barracks in London has been giving | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
evidence at the Old Bailey for the first time. Michael Adebolajo, a | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
father of six from Essex, described the moment he targeted the British | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
soldier, and told the court he prayed he had the right victim. The | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
28-year-old Muslim convert said he loved al-Qaeda, and blamed Lee | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
Rigby's death on the Uk's foreign policy. Our home affairs | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
correspondent June Kelly is outside the Old Bailey now. | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
He has been giving more details surrounding the death. | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
I am a soldier and this is war, the words of Michael Adebolajo from the | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
witness box. There was intense security as he was moved to the | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
witness box. He said he loved Al-Qaeda like his brothers, and said | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
he targeted Lee Rigby that day, he set out to target a British soldier. | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
They picked on him because he was carrying a military rucksack. He | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
said, after the actual killing, and his barrister did not go into detail | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
because the jury has already heard the details of the death, he said he | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
was mindful of the family were in court, Adebolajo said he asked | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
members of the public to record his thoughts and message because he did | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
not want people to be brainwashed by the BBC. He said he waited for the | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
military to arrive. The police arrived, and he was shot when he ran | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
at them wielding a meat cleaver. He said he wished the police had shot | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
him in our head. He said he wanted to die. He described being taken to | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
hospital and said the nurses were the best on the planet. | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
Adebolajo was giving details of his childhood in Essex and his decision | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
to convert to Islam. He converted in his first year at | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
university. He said he had been brought up in a Christian family. | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
His parents believed the way to success was getting a degree. He | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
decided it was by getting to Paradise. He said he became | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
increasingly infuriated by British foreign policy, particularly the war | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
in Iraq, and he said that motivated him that day to go and kill a | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
British soldier. He will continue his evidence this afternoon. | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
Some patients taken by ambulance to NHS hospitals in England, Wales and | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
Scotland are having to wait outside A departments in an ambulance for | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
far longer than they should. The recommended time is 15 minutes. But | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
data released to the BBC under the Freedom Of Information Act reveals, | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
that in the worst case, a patient in Wales was kept waiting for more than | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
six hours. NHS England says it is trying to minimise any delays, and | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
most people are transferred within 30 minutes. Our health correspondent | :04:30. | :04:40. | |
Dominic Hughes reports. Ambulance crews work hard to get | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
patients to hospital as quickly as possible. Once there, they hit | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
delays which can stop them getting to the next job, and it is bad for | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
patient safety. The figures obtained showed there have been serious | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
delays. A symptom of an entire system under pressure. The reason we | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
have got to this point is delayed discharges. Secondly, huge cutbacks | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
in social care. Thirdly, inappropriate presentations to A | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
departments. And 25% of walk-in centres being closed over two | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
years. The figures obtained by the BBC for ambulance handovers at A | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
revealed that Wales have some of the worst delays. Overall, England was | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
better but had if you long delays up to five hours and 51 minutes. | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
Scotland had the longest under two hours. Northern Ireland failed to | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
respond to the Freedom of information request. But the average | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
weight was around 40 minutes and 40 seconds. In England, their financial | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
penalties for long handover delays. The situation has improved slightly | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
since they were introduced but doctors say the pressures reflect | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
what is going on in the health system. | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
Our hospitals are to fall. The two patient groups are being admitted at | :06:09. | :06:16. | |
the same time and we need a system where these hospitals are not | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
penalised for delaying routine surgery at times of peak demand. In | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
Wales, officials say the longest delays are exceptional and the NHS | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
has halved the number of patients waiting more than an hour. NHS | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
England says waiting times are improving as the number of delays | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
over 30 minutes is falling. As part of the BBC's NHS Winter | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
Project, we're launching a website which lets you see the latest weekly | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
statistics for every major A department in England. Go to: | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
bbc.co.uk/nhswinter, and enter your postcode to find out how your local | :06:50. | :06:50. | |
hospital is coping. MPs are to examine problems | :06:51. | :07:02. | |
hampering the implementation of a central pillar of government changes | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
to the welfare system. The Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
will be asked to explain why the new universal credit will not be paid to | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
about 700,000 people until after a planned 2017 deadline. Our political | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
correspondent Chris Mason reports. It is a whopper of a shake up, | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
merging six benefits into one, trying to make sure it pays to | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
work. The man in charge has repeatedly said it was on-time and | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
on budget. Listen to him now. Yes, I do accept that this plan is | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
different. We are going to set a system so the system works first, we | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
test the people going on to it. When we know how it works, we roll the | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
numbers in as we understand how the system behaves. Isn't that the best | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
way to do it? This will mean three quarters of a million of the most | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
vulnerable will not be transferred until after 2017. The deadline has | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
slipped massively elsewhere. The latest published figure shows 2150 | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
people were claiming universal credit in September. Two years ago, | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
he set a target of more than 1 million claiming it by April next | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
year. That offers an insight into the timetable. What about the | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
budget? Expect Iain Duncan Smith to be pressed on how much money has | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
been written off on IT. Labour in principle that universal credit but | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
one can detect a whiff of delay in implementation. | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
The public come out -- be Public Accounts Committee and others have | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
said this project has been off track for months now. And Iain Duncan | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
Smith failed to get a grip. This is about his leadership. He has staked | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
his reputation on it. We know that flagship policy is in tatters. Iain | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
Duncan Smith is defined. Delivering universal credit safely is more | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
important than deadlines, he says. But 7 million people will eventually | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
be reliant on it so plenty are asking him the question -- these | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
simple questions. Three people have been killed after | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
a fire broke out in a house in Greater Manchester in the early | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
hours of this morning. A woman, who was rescued from the flames, died in | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
hospital. Two more bodies were discovered in the house in Bolton. | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
Our correspondent, Ed Thomas is at the scene. | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
This is the Heaton area, on the edge of Bolton. A leafy suburb with | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
large, detached houses. What neighbours have told us is at 2am | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
this morning, they heard an explosion. They came outside to see | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
this house engulfed with flames. Fire fighters were soon here and | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
pulled one body from the house. A woman who later died in hospital. A | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
search was carried out and to further bodies were found. One | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
neighbour said, when they came out, this place was full of smoke and | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
what they thought was fog. We heard the sound of the fire | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
engines. And we heard some banging noises which by the firemen tried to | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
break open the door to gain entry. When I looked out the window, we saw | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
a scene we thought we'd only see in a film, not on your doorstep. It was | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
a fire in the kitchen which looked like it had taken hold. Lots of | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
big, black smoke. Police and fire fighters are taking | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
this extremely seriously. There is an investigation going on now. What | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
they want to find out is how this fire started, and the identity of | :10:54. | :10:54. | |
the people who died. The Prime Minister of Thailand has | :10:55. | :11:02. | |
dissolved parliament, and is promising to hold fresh elections in | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
the face of growing anti-government protests. An estimated 100,000 | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
people have continued to demonstrate in the capital, Bangkok, despite the | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
announcement. Protest leaders say they don't want new elections | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
because the entire democratic system needs to be changed. | :11:13. | :11:22. | |
They promised a day of judgement. A mass assault to bring down the | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
government. They have certainly got a huge crowd. The news the Prime | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
Minister was offering an election softened the mood. The opposition | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
show of strength became more like a giant street party. The leaders of | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
this protest note they have an impressive turnout. You can see the | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
streets are filled with people. It has certainly made an impression on | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
the government. What you do not see are the government supporters. You | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
have to ask whether they have enough people to be able to beat the | :12:01. | :12:08. | |
government in an election. There was some confusion among | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
participants. Had they won? Was an election a big enough concession? If | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
it was me, I would accept it. Even if this government wins another | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
election? For me, yes. I'm not sure about other people. What is wrong | :12:28. | :12:35. | |
with an election? She will have her way to come back. And also her team. | :12:36. | :12:48. | |
Even the main opposition party whose MPs have joined these IDs seemed | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
unclear. Its leader has been demanding an election for days, yet | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
was suddenly unsure whether he would even contest it. You will have two | :12:58. | :13:07. | |
asked the party. So, an announcement that should have cleared the air had | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
cleared up nothing. An election will be held in less than two months. How | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
it will go, whether its results will be respected, is anyone's guests. | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
Health ministers from the G8 nations will meet in London this week, to | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
discuss the urgent challenge posed by dementia. 44 million people are | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
already living with the condition around the world - and that figure's | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
predicted to soar to 76 million by 2030. Every day this week, we'll be | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
taking a look at what life is like for those who have dementia, and for | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
the people who support them. Today we're hearing from Viv Galley, whose | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
husband Bill has advanced Alzheimer's. | :13:52. | :14:04. | |
What do I think of Alzheimer's? It's a horrible, horrible illness. It | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
tears your life apart. Hello. Cup of tea's ready. | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
This has taken over our lives. Bill can't do anything for himself. | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
It took us a year until somebody finally said, yes, definitely | :14:20. | :14:32. | |
Alzheimer's. It just hits you in the gut. From stating that diagnosis, it | :14:33. | :14:41. | |
has progressed so rapidly. His speech has gone, he can't have a | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
conversation. It's just horrible. She's brilliant. She's so good with | :14:44. | :14:59. | |
him. He can get stroppy, nasty | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
sometimes. This illness has done that. He used to lash out and punch | :15:05. | :15:17. | |
me on my arms. He's really, like he was fighting with a man, it wasn't | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
as if he knew I was a woman and shouldn't do that. | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
When you start to go to these groups and to meet other people in the same | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
situation, it's so good. They know what you are going through. And you | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
know what they are going through. I met Bill 21 years ago. It was in | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
the summer. He was such good company. He was | :15:39. | :15:51. | |
lovely. I love him to bits. Sorry, I am getting upset now. | :15:52. | :16:01. | |
Yes, we had a good life. We had a good 17/18 years of happiness. | :16:02. | :16:12. | |
Bill, what's my name? I'm not mum, I'm your wife. Eventually it will | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
take me away from him because he's not going to know who I am. | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
That's heartbreaking. That is heartbreaking. See you in the | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
morning. I love him with all my heart. | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
He's still there. He's still my Bill. Viv Galley, describing her | :16:32. | :16:39. | |
experiences of dealing with Alzheimer's. The time is just after | :16:40. | :16:47. | |
1. 15pm. Michael Adebowale tells the Old Bailey he targeted Lee Rigby | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
because of the UK's foreign policy, claiming his actions would save | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
other lives. Still to come - caught out Down Under, England's batsmen | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
fail to deliver in the second Test in Adelaide. Later on BBC London: | :17:00. | :17:13. | |
We will be live with a Lewisham hospital as they aim for a Christmas | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
number one. Final preparations are being made | :17:17. | :17:26. | |
for tomorrow's national memorial service in South Africa to celebrate | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
the life of Nelson Mandela. Four British Prime Ministers, past and | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
present, will be among leaders who will join the tens of thousands of | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
people expected to pack into the soccer stadium in Soweto. | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
The funeral will take place on Sunday. | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
Yes, the memorial service is due to last around four hours. It is sure | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
to be charged with immense joy at the success of a man who is revered | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
at home and right around the world. Of course, naturally sadness and for | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
some people utter desolation that he's no longer here. Well, leaders | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
from around the world, including President Obama and David Cameron, | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
will join tens of thousands of ordinary South Africans for that | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
memorial service in the FNB Soccer stadium in Soweto. Millions more | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
will watch live on television. Well, this morning, one of Nelson | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
Mandela's daughter's gave her first television interview since her | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
father's death. She has been describing his final moments. | :18:32. | :18:40. | |
Every day, for the past months I would say, I love you. I am coming | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
to see you tomorrow. And then maybe he would open his | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
eyes for just a second and close those eyes. | :18:51. | :19:01. | |
So, for me I think until the last moment had us, you know and the | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
children were there, the grand children were there. | :19:05. | :19:12. | |
Graca was there. We were always around. The last moment, we were | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
sitting with him and when the doctors told us, I think the morning | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
they warned us before there were signs. But when they told us there | :19:24. | :19:32. | |
was nothing they could do, and said to me might you call everybody that | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
is here that wants to see him and say goodbye. It was the most | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
wonderful day for us. Because the grandchildren were there. We were | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
there. I don't think my father fought just | :19:44. | :19:52. | |
for political freedom. He also fought for spiritual freedom, to | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
free yourself spiritually. He talks about the thing that it takes | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
courage to forgive. Forgiveness is a difficult thing. Wake up one morning | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
and say, I forgive those who incarcerated me. I think he knew | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
that if you didn't forgive he would be forever in prison, himself spirit | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
ally. And if you are not free, you cannot be free, definitely here. And | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
so, for me, the lesson is to have the lesson you can takeaway from his | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
life is to have the courage to forgive other people. Your own | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
husband, if you are married, your own children, your own neighbours. | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
Your own community. If we have the courage to forgive as human beings | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
there would be no wars that we see around us. There would be no crime, | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
no violence, no conflict. And for me, that's the greatest gift that | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
Tata has given to the world. Nelson Mandela's daughter there. | :20:58. | :21:06. | |
Well, his time spent as a political prisoner on that desolate rock, | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
called Robben Island helped to shape the man and define his political | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
idles. He was in total there for 18 years. Prisoner 46664. | :21:18. | :21:26. | |
Yes, just behind me the stark entrance way to Robin island. Very | :21:27. | :21:34. | |
much a reflect -- Robben Island. Very much a reflective mood. This is | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
where Nelson Mandela arrived, in his mid-40s. He spent 18 of his 27 years | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
in jail here. I went earlier on in his prison cell. There a single | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
candle burns bright. The staff here at Robben Island and some of the | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
political prisoner prisoners expect to come back tomorrow. They will | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
participate in their own private memorial service here. Much has been | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
made of the friendships that Nelson Mandela forged with some of the | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
prison guards. They were friendships that were born out of a sense of | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
mutual respect. One of those that stands out among all the others is | :22:14. | :22:24. | |
the friendship he had with Christo Brand. In 1978 a young African that | :22:25. | :22:34. | |
prison guard arrived. His name was Christo Brand. | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
Which was Mandela's cell? Just here. You can see two mats. By then Nelson | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
Mandela was halfway through his 27 years in jail. | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
You know, when I came here, immediately I felt I hate them. A | :22:53. | :23:04. | |
few months later, he gets visits. He gets visitors. I thought what was | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
they in for. We were told they were the biggest criminals. On the name | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
was the name. He said, no that is not - these people will handle you | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
with respect. These people will not steal from you, if you leave food on | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
our table. If you leave a newspaper they will steal it because he was | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
hungry for news. The two men would form an unlikely friendship. He | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
means to me quite a lot. He was like a father to me. He always believed | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
we are human beings, not black and white. I ask Mandela if he hate the | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
white people who put him in prison. He said, Mr Brand I cannot hate | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
white people. I can hate the system. All hi friends were white before he | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
came to prison. He had a lot of white friends. Today Christo Brand | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
is back, working on Robben Island. I think Mandela figures we mustn't | :23:59. | :24:17. | |
never repeat the past. We must look forward. | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
Many of those ex-prisoners feel very much like ambassadors for Nelson | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
Mandela now. And they have even more of a desire to tell his story to | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
future generations. One told me, it is like handing the spear from one | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
generation to the next. It feels like South Africa today has a lot to | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
live up to. Many thanks. So, the scene is set | :24:38. | :24:48. | |
for tomorrow's special memorial service. Nelson Mandela's body will | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
lay in state in the capital, Pretoria, before making its final | :24:54. | :25:02. | |
journey to the eastern cape for a private burial service on Sunday. | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
And you can see live coverage of tomorrow's memorial service from | :25:09. | :25:16. | |

Nelson Mandela: A Nation Remembers. DJ Campbell is among six people | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
questioned in connection with allegations of sixing in -- fixing | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
in football matches. He is one of six arrested. They were detained | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
after the former Portsmouth player, Sam Sodje, told a reporter he could | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
arrange for players to be booked or sent off in exchange for cash. Let's | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
speak to our correspondent. What more can you tell us? In the last | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
hour or so, the National Crime Agency have confirmed five people | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
arrested yesterday have now been released on bail. A sixth person is | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
still being questioned by police. Now, among the people arrested | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
yesterday, we know is DJ Campbell - a striker here at Blackburn Rovers. | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
Blackburn have released a statement, saying they will make no further | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
comment on what is an on-going legal matter. DJ Campbell is the most high | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
profile figure to be arrested in connection to these latest | :26:18. | :26:19. | |
allegations of corruption in football. He is a familiar name to | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
football fans up and down the country. In fact he's played in the | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
Premier League with three different clubs. This latest investigation | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
follows footage released by the Sun on Sunday yesterday, which showed | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
the former Portsmouth player, Sam Sodje, claiming he got himself | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
deliberately sent off in exchange for ?70,000. He claimed he could get | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
other players deliberately to pick up yellow cards. These are | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
allegations of fixing specific elements within a match. In that | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
sense, the game of English football is under scrutiny, like never | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
before. Thank you very much. Australia made quick work of | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
finishing off England in the second Ashes this morning. The visitors are | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
two down, with three to play in the series and will need something very | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
special if they will keep hold of the urn. | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
It is no good arriving at the fifth day of a Test Match in Australia and | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
expecting the weather to come to your rescue. Drizzle delayed play | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
for ten minutes. England lastedless than an -- less | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
than an hour. The more obvious Australia make the trap the more | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
determined some England players are to jump into it. So much for Stuart | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
Broad, out in the first over. Matt Prior at least played himself back | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
into some form. There wasn't much to try and save here, wasn't there? | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
Swann lasted half an hour. Batting is the connection of thought process | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
and technique, so often in Adelaide the English thinking seemed | :27:52. | :27:54. | |
scrambled. In truth, the cause had been lost days before. Matt Prior | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
out for 69. Another ball wall lopped into Australian hands. 312 all out | :28:01. | :28:08. | |
Panesar fell. It begins with the batsman and right at the top with | :28:09. | :28:11. | |
England's captain. I need to score more runs. We all | :28:12. | :28:17. | |
do. That first - there are only so many times you can tell the lads. If | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
you are not delivering, it makes it harder. I am there at the top of the | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
order as a batter. These last two gamesvy not scored enough runs. -- | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
games I have not scored enough runs. Is England's golden era coming to a | :28:32. | :28:36. | |
halt? It is all beginning to unravel. We have had three series we | :28:37. | :28:42. | |
have won comfortably. We'll get stopped in this one. I don't think | :28:43. | :28:45. | |
the mind is right. I don't think they are there as a team. The next | :28:46. | :28:50. | |
Test Match starts on Friday - the 13th, in Perth, where England have a | :28:51. | :28:57. | |
grim record. Sound encouraging! Then the Ashes really will be gone! | :28:58. | :29:02. | |
Time for a look at the et wither now. | :29:03. | :29:07. | |
-- weather now. It is quiet out there thanks to high | :29:08. | :29:16. | |
pressure. The amount of cloud we see from place to place will vary | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
day-to-day. We are looking at some fog patches over the next few | :29:21. | :29:25. | |
nights. The best of today's sunshine is across England and Wales. In the | :29:26. | :29:29. | |
Bay of Biscay we have cloud which will be drawn northwards on the | :29:30. | :29:35. | |
prevailing winds. That will bring cloudier weather across England and | :29:36. | :29:39. | |
Wales tomorrow. The main message is, enjoy the best of the sunshine | :29:40. | :29:42. | |
whilst it is available across southern England. Plenty of sunshine | :29:43. | :29:46. | |
here throughout the afternoon. There'll be quite a bit of cloud | :29:47. | :29:50. | |
across the hills of Wales and blowing inland. Mist and low cloud | :29:51. | :29:56. | |
affecting the Midlands. In Northern Ireland, brightening up. Antrim and | :29:57. | :30:00. | |
Down looking good with some sunshine. Some of the warmest | :30:01. | :30:06. | |
weather is around the Murray Firth. Temperatures have reached 13 Celsius | :30:07. | :30:10. | |
here during the afternoon. Overnight we will see that lump of | :30:11. | :30:15. | |
cloud I showed you on the satellite moving in across England and Wales. | :30:16. | :30:18. | |
It will stay cloudy over Northern Ireland and Scotland. Winds touching | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
gale force in the north and west. For most of us though, this cloud | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
means it will not get too cold. One exception will be really across East | :30:27. | :30:30. | |
Anglia and south-east England, where skis are expected to stay clearest | :30:31. | :30:35. | |
longest. In the countryside, cold enough for a nip of frost. | :30:36. | :30:41. | |
Down to minus two in Kent and Sussex, maybe into Surrey as well. | :30:42. | :30:46. | |
Tomorrow, the cloud thickening up for Northern Ireland and western | :30:47. | :30:48. | |
Scotland. Damp weather working in here. The warmest around the Murray | :30:49. | :30:54. | |
Firth. Could reach 14 Celsius here during the afternoon. The best of | :30:55. | :30:59. | |
any sunshine across East Anglia and south-east England. Mist and fog | :31:00. | :31:05. | |
could develop across southern parts. Some of that mist and fog could | :31:06. | :31:09. | |
linger into Wednesday, with light winds. This area of high pressure on | :31:10. | :31:15. | |
the scene. Apart from the mist and fog patches, actually there should | :31:16. | :31:17. | |
be sunshine across England and Wales. Not a bad looking day across | :31:18. | :31:20. | |
Northern Ireland. So, the weather will be quiet over | :31:21. | :31:29. | |
the next few days. The cloud will vary from day-to-day. Across the | :31:30. | :31:32. | |
other side of the Atlantic though, we have an early season cold blast. | :31:33. | :31:38. | |
They've had some snowy weather and liquid rain, which has a temperature | :31:39. | :31:41. | |
below zero. | :31:42. | :31:44. |
