Bad weather hampers the search for wreckage of the missing Malaysian | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
airliner. In China, desperate relatives of the | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
missing march on the Malaysian Embassy in Beijing demanding more | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
information. More boats are being sent to the area in the Southern | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Indian Ocean. One man thanked search teams as he paid tribute to his | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
missing parents. We are grateful to all of the organisations and | :00:31. | :00:38. | |
countries who are involved in the search and our thoughts go out to | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
all family members of the passengers and crew on board the flight. Why | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
the flight was so far off course is still a mystery. We'll have the | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
latest on the search. Also this lunchtime: Lower petrol prices help | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
inflation fall to its lowest rate in four years. It's down to 1.7%. | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
14 people are dead and scores still missing after a massive mudslide in | :00:57. | :01:05. | |
the American state of Washington. We were tumbled inside and had much | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
in our eyes and nose and mouth. IM really grateful I'm alive. | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
More text messages between Oscar Pistorius and his girlfriend sent in | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
the weeks before she died are read out in court at the murder trial. | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Taking the temperature of Britain's climate. The Met Office predicts | :01:27. | :01:37. | |
mild, wet winters and hotter summers the future forecast? | :01:38. | :01:57. | |
Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
Bad weather is hampering the search in the Indian Ocean for wreckage | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
from the missing Malaysian airliner. Most of the passengers on board were | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
Chinese. In Beijing, angry relatives have clashed with police outside the | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
Malaysian and the sea. `` Malaysian Embassy. And it's still a mystery | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
why the plane was so far off course. The black box could help to shed | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
light on what happened but the authorities have just ten days to | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
find it before the batteries run out. This report from Western | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
Australia, from where the search operation is being coordinated. His | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
belief in anger from the families of Chinese passengers of MH370 in | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
Beijing today. They tried to break through to the Malaysian Embassy, | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
still frustrated by the lack of information about what happened, and | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
by the way they have been treated. The Malaysian authorities have, at | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
times, struggled to cope with this extraordinary crisis, but insist | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
they have always put the feelings of the families first. Yesterday's news | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
was incredibly hard for the family members, as our Prime Minister | :03:11. | :03:19. | |
said. It was released out of a commitment of openness and respect, | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
two pencils which have guided the investigation. `` to principal. This | :03:27. | :03:35. | |
couple were on board. They worked hard to reap the rewards of their | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
retirement so they could spend time with friends and family. We are | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
extremely grateful for the love and support from all of our family and | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
friends. We are grateful to all the organisations and countries | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
providing the extensive search operations now `` and our present | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
thoughts now go out to the families of the passengers and crew on board | :04:03. | :04:11. | |
the flight. Six countries are now contributing to the search, but bad | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
weather prevented them from going out today. Chinese ships are also on | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
the way to join an Australian supply vessels in the area where possible | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
debris was spotted yesterday, but nothing has been picked up yet. | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
Finding the remains of the airliner is still a huge challenge. We are | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
not searching for a needle in the haystack, we're still trying to find | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
the haystack. That is just to put it in context. We now know beyond | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
reasonable doubt that MH370 is somewhere out there in the Indian | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
Ocean, and that's definitive statements by the Malaysian | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
authorities cannot seem final until they pull wreckage from the water, | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
and that is still such a formidable pass that nobody can say when it | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
will happen. `` task. Let's go to China now. Our | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
correspondent is in Beijing. We saw those desperate scenes from | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
relatives of the missing, many of whom cannot believe until wreckage | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
is found that their loved ones are gone. Protests are pretty rare | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
things on the streets of the Chinese capital. This one was highly | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
emotional and spontaneous and appeared to catch the authorities by | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
surprise. The police did their best to stop it. They are instinctively | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
nervous of anything that looks like organise the gathering or shared | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
grievance, but through sheer force of will, chanting, tell us the | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
truth, the relatives pushed on the rail and made it to the Malaysian | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
Embassy and handed over a statement that they do not accept this claim | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
that the flight is lost, and with it, all hope. They want proof `` | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
proof. What is also in the sting is that we are starting to see glimpses | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
of the relatives putting more pressure on the Chinese government | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
to intervene and do more on their behalf. The Chief Executive of | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
Malaysia Airlines has defended the way his company has dealt with | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
relatives of the missing passengers. Talking to our correspondents, he | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
said his company's priority was to take care of those affected. We have | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
done all we can within our means to help them. You must realise, in an | :06:31. | :06:42. | |
incident like this, normally, in any tragedy, there is always some | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
evidence in place. We have not had any evidence until maybe last night. | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
So you are 100% sure the plane is lost. East on evidence provided to | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
us, yes. Our transport correspondent joins me now. The time is running | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
out, because this black box has batteries which last for just a | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
couple of weeks more. I think it is unlikely that they are going to hear | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
the black boxes. Then you move onto the second wave, which is the | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
sonar, which is getting thrown submarines, no`one on them, they | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
just the sea bed. They cannot overstate how difficult it is going | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
to be defined as aircraft. You see all of these ships going out and you | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
feel it is going to be found, but is very deceptive. They are still | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
searching an area the size of the North Sea. I am told there are | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
better maps of the moon 's surface than this sea bed area. They have | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
not got the kit yet to find it. It could be months or years before they | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
find anything, and it is possible they may never find this aircraft. | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
There was a French aircraft that went down in the Atlantic Ocean, | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
they found to breed a few days later, but it still took them two | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
days to find the plane. `` they found debris. You can keep | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
up`to`date with the search on the BBC News Channel or follow along on | :08:09. | :08:19. | |
the BBC News website. Inflation is at its lowest level for four years. | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
The Consumer Prices Index fell to 1.7% last month, down from 1.9% in | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
January. The fall, which is partly down to lower fuel prices, means | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
that the gap between pay increases and price rises continues to narrow. | :08:32. | :08:42. | |
It is the cost of living increases that have been putting the squeeze | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
on household budgets in the past two years. Today, the rate of ablation | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
cell again. Smaller price rises and energy bills helped, and clothing | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
and footwear also rose less quickly, but the main factor was here at the | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
pumps. The fall of petrol and diesel prices. Wholesale prices were low | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
towards January. The weather might have suppressed demand for fuel. It | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
will be interesting to see what the supermarkets continue to do. Since | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
the financial crisis, prices have been rising faster than earnings, | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
meaning the amount of money in average pay packet will bring has | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
effectively been falling. Today we have further evidence that this gap | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
is now narrowing. Here is the picture. The red line shows the rate | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
of inflation over the last 13 years, and it's sharp rise, much of | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
it since the recession. Now look at the blue line to see how wages have | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
failed to keep up. But it may not be too long before they meet and we | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
start to see real rises in average pay. The latest numbers, | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
manufacturing pay growth is growing quite rapidly. Construction growth | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
is rising year on year. Over the next few months, we will see the | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
rest of the economy picked up as well. But judging by the people we | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
spoke to in a rainy Birmingham this morning, there is no feel`good | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
factor just yet. Our salaries have stayed the same for years on end and | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
we still have the same bills. It just seems like every day everything | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
is going up in price, and they are trying to rectify things with | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
salaries, but it is just not good enough. Most economists believe | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
inflation will remain below the Bank of England's 2% target for the rest | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
of this year, easing pressure on it to raise interest rates. Not so good | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
for savers, but perhaps the end of the big financial squeeze on | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
households is finally in sight. Our chief political correspondent is | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
in Westminster. We have heard about lot of political arguments over | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
recent months about the cost of living. How far will these figures | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
go in changing that? I think they changed in the sense that the | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
figures are hugely politically symbolic, because were the first | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
time in a long time, for most people, pay is now increasing as | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
fast as prices, so if you work in the private sector, which most | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
people do, roughly around two thirds of people work in the private | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
sector, pay is increasing at 1.7%. We have learned that inflation has | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
come down to 1.7%. Pay and prices are now neck and neck for most of | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
us. You would imagine, for ministers, this would be an occasion | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
to do a little high then the jig in the corner of their office, but it | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
has not been because most of us probably do not feel any better off | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
at the moment, and also, it is a very different story in the public | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
sector, where pay is still well behind prices increasing at just | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
0.5%. There is another reason, and that is because ministers have got | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
to sell some very difficult decisions and deficit reductions to | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
the public in terms of LDM pounds worth of welfare cuts and filled in | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
for the next election. `` ?12 billion. Today's figures are more | :12:07. | :12:14. | |
problematic for Labour, because though they could argue that people | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
will still be worse off than they were at the last election, you sense | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
that gradually the tide is beginning to go out on the whole cost of | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
living arguments, as slowly, pay creeps up to prices, with | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
suggestions that by the second half of this year, pay will have | :12:34. | :12:43. | |
overtaken prices. 14 people are now known to have died | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
in a massive mudslide in the American state of Washington. But | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
scores of people are still missing after the mud and debris swept | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
through the town of Oso near Seattle. The authorities say they're | :12:55. | :13:02. | |
still trying to account for more than 170 people who've not been | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
heard from since Saturday. Are there any injuries? Yes, there are people | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
yelling for help! A desperate call to the emergency services as a | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
deadly tide of mud and rock crushed everything in its path. Houses were | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
swept off their foundations, trees keeled over, and people were sucked | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
into the sea of mud like quicksand. We were tumbled inside and had much | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
in our eyes and nose and mouth. IM really grateful to be alive. From | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
the air, it is possible to see the scale of the disaster. Weeks of | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
unusually heavy rain had stopped and the ground, and then without | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
warning, eight slice of the hillside collapsed into the river valley. | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
There were frantic efforts to dig people out of the mud. One local | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
resident heard screams and ran over to find a baby at his mother `` and | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
his mother worried the need the debris. He used chainsaws to get | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
them out arrived `` alive. It was just all debris. Another narrow | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
escape, AIPAC dog pulled from the rubble. `` a pet. This family could | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
not believe their luck. But others felt helpless and overwhelmed in the | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
face of such distraught Ocean. `` this traction. We stayed back from | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
the river, but unfortunately, we uncovered bodies, and we had to | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
contact authorities to try and get somebody to come down and remove | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
them. When help arrived, many used dogs, and others took to boats and | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
even a hovercraft. It was dangerous work. Some rescuers got stuck in the | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
mud themselves and had to be pulled out. This was a quiet community of | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
180 people, but it did not stand a chance when a wall of mud, 1,500 | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
feet wide and 600 feet high on the crashed down on top of it. There | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
were contractors coming in, people coming to work on their homes and | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
their guards, people driving on 530, syndicate just the wrong time. `` so | :15:08. | :15:15. | |
it came it just the wrong time. The hopes for survivors is fading. | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
No`one has been found since Saturday. Royal Mail says it is | :15:18. | :15:32. | |
cutting 1600 jobs, mainly in managerial roles and at its head | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
office. Consultations are now taking place with unions. Honda has also | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
announced it is cutting production at its Swindon factory, leaving 340 | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
jobs at risk. They are the people who keep our | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
letters and parcels moving 24 hours a day. In recent years, rank and | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
file staff at Royal Mail have been at the front line as tens of | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
thousands of jobs have gone. Now, five months after privatisation, the | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
company has announced a new cost`cutting plan. This time, it is | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
managers being targeted. The efficiency programme will see 1600 | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
managerial roles go, although 300 new posts are being created. It is | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
expected to save the company ?50 million a year. In total, more than | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
50,000 staff have left Royal Mail over the past decade. I'm | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
disappointed by the way it happened and I'm surprised by the number that | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
has been announced. We expected something to happen | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
post`privatisation but the scale is very much a surprise to our members. | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
There was bad news at Honda's Swindon plant today as well. Three | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
and 40 full`time staff will lose their jobs, a further 160 agency | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
workers will not have contracts renewed. The plant will suspend one | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
production line and move from three shifts to two on the back of weak | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
demand from the continent. Europe is a marketplace has been very | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
difficult, not just for us but other manufacturers as well. 90% of | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
Swindon production goes into Europe so it is sensitive to a downturn in | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
demand there. Just last week, the Chancellor outlined measures to | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
boost manufacturing and exports. Today, visiting a steel plant in | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
Wales, he insisted jobs were being created. We've had announcements in | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
the last few days of thousands of jobs being created in construction, | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
in the pub industry and of course here we are at the heart of | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
manufacturing and there was a huge investment in the future of | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
manufacturing in the budget. Any individual job loss is a matter of | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
great regret but jobs are being created in Britain and the economy | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
is moving forward. Back in Swindon, Honda said it is confident about the | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
long`term future of this planet. The economy may be on the mend, but for | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
some, the road to recovery may be a long one. | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
Our top story: In China, desperate relatives of those on the missing L | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
I now march on the Malaysia and Embassy in Beijing demanding more | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
information. And The Met office says the role of | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
human influence is detectable in Britain's summer heat waves and | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
intense rainfall. Later, I will have all the sport on | :18:32. | :18:52. | |
BBC News. When it comes to wind power, the UK | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
is considered one of the best locations in the world to harness | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
it. Thousands of wind turbines are already helping to deliver wind | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
energy to Britain, but critics have long complained that the turbines | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
used are made abroad. Now, Siemens has announced it is creating 1000 | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
jobs in Hull, building the country's first purpose`built | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
factory where offshore wind turbine blades will be built. | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
These docs have seen better days. There has been steady decline here, | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
until today. This place will be transformed. Here is the future. It | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
will cost ?300 million and be the UK's home of wind turbine | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
manufacturing. All backed by Siemens. This is about starting in | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
industry. The UK is the world's biggest wind market. The Humber is | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
where many of the wind farms will be built. It has great natural | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
resources, great local employment possibilities. We've looked at 100 | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
sites and we decided to choose whole. `` Hull. This whole area will | :20:02. | :20:11. | |
be regenerated. Giant turbines on ships, rotors manufactured and | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
exported from here. And with it, a belief that this will create a | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
European renewable energy capital right here in Hull. To six lead, | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
Hamid is to rise to the challenge. 1000 jobs will be created. `` to | :20:29. | :20:42. | |
succeed, Hull needs to rise. This college is already creating students | :20:43. | :20:51. | |
to build a demand. Siemens coming into the area will be absolutely | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
fantastic. Not just the economy of whole. The government wants the UK | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
to take lead. It says 11% of electricity produced last month was | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
from wind power. That number will grow with thousands of new turbines | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
already planned for the North Sea. It is great news for the UK, | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
brilliant news for wind industry and our energy security. Bringing 1000 | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
green jobs in high`tech manufacturing to the north`east of | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
Yorkshire I think is a fantastic bit of news. Siemens will begin | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
manufacturing in 2016. With it, a new era for this city and green | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
energy in the UK. The jury at the Oscar Pistorius | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
murder trial has been hearing more text messages exchanged between the | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
athlete and his girlfriend in the days before she died. Reeva | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
Steenkamp was shot dead on Valentine's Day last year. Oscar | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
Pistorius said he thought she was an intruder. Andrew Harding was in | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
court in Pretoria and joins me now. The tone of the messages today very | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
different from those read out yesterday. Yes, yesterday remember | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
we heard rebid steam camp text in that she was angry. `` Reeva | :22:07. | :22:23. | |
Steenkamp. We heard she was scared, he was jealous and angry. Today, the | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
other side. There were dozens of experts showing this was a very | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
loving couple that, almost immediately after those angry | :22:33. | :22:41. | |
exchanges, past things up. Even the night before she died, the couple | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
were talking about their plans for Valentine's Day, very romantic, | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
clearly a loving couple for most of the time. After that, the | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
prosecution called a couple more witnesses, but pretty quickly | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
wrapped things up. Within the last half`hour, the trial has ended for | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
now with the prosecution saying it is done, it has laid out its case | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
against Oscar Pistorius. The defence has now asked the two days to | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
prepare themselves and talk to other witnesses. Then it is likely that | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
Oscar Pistorius will be the first on the stand on Friday. One of his | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
lawyers did tell me that was not guaranteed, it is possible he could | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
come later. I managed to have a brief word with Oscar Pistorius as | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
he was walking out of the court. He was looking very sombre and spoken | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
almost a whisper. I asked to be was ready to give evidence and whether | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
he felt the case was going OK. He simply said it is a tough time, | :23:42. | :23:50. | |
there is a lot of stuff ahead. Relatives of a young soldier who | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
died at barracks in Surrey nearly 20 years ago have been told they can | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
apply to the High Court for a new inquest. Private Cheryl James, who | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
was 18, died from gunshot wounds. She was one of four soldiers to die | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
there during a seven`year period, sparking allegations of bullying and | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
abuse. A happy, bubbly teenager. Private | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
Cheryl James died from a single gunshot wound to the head. Her body | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
was found on the outskirts of the barracks. The army said her death | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
was a suicide. Surrey Police investigated, but there were no | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
prosecutions. It took years for the family to have the evidence released | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
to them. It has now finally led to the prospect of a new inquest. It is | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
a vindication. My daughter has not had justice and finally we have a | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
pretty important character in the legal system who has agreed with | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
ours. We've always been very confident that this day would come. | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
The more we learned about her case and her death, the more we were sure | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
that this has not been properly investigated. If a decision is taken | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
here at the High Court to approve the new inquest, the Ministry of | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
Defence says it will provide support when needed. It has faced years of | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
allegations of a cover`up and claims it failed its soldiers time after | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
time. Cheryl James was one of four young recruits who died with the | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
uncut `` gunshot wounds at this barracks. A series of investigations | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
found evidence of bullying and abuse of the barracks, but calls for a | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
full public enquiry have been refused. The authorities have | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
persistently shut the families down and tried to quite listening `` | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
literally close ranks. Families have looked to other institutions to help | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
them, such as the police, but they have failed them. Private James's | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
family now face a six`week wait to see if an inquest is approved. | :26:00. | :26:10. | |
This winter was an usually wet and mild but according to a new store at | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
the `` a new study at The Met office, it could be a sign of things | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
to come. Summers are expected to be hotter and drier. What does the | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
future look like? The headline is more of everything. | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
They are open about the fact there is a lot that they don't know, but | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
they reckon they have honed in on two trends. With Winters, the trend | :26:37. | :26:44. | |
is for milder, wetter winters of the kind we've just seen. But there is | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
also potential for the extreme cold we saw three winters ago. Summers, | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
they say the trend is for hotter, drier summers, but there is still a | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
potential for that terrible wash`out summer we saw in 2012. It is a very | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
difficult challenge for them to pick the different factors apart. | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
Why is it so difficult? We are a relatively small island on the edge | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
of a very large ocean. So we receive a whole host of | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
different factors at work ` whether the North Atlantic is getting | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
warmer, for example. It is one thing to try to establish global trends | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
for temperature or rainfall, but much harder to zero in on a | :27:30. | :27:36. | |
relatively small piece of the Earth. There is one phrase that will | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
attract a lot of interest. Human hand is detectable in some of | :27:41. | :27:46. | |
this. That's right, they are cautious about whether global | :27:47. | :27:48. | |
warming will necessarily mean more extreme weather in Britain, but they | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
reckon may can detect it in a couple of ways. | :27:53. | :27:55. | |
One is in summer heat waves. There is a greater risk of heat waves as | :27:56. | :28:01. | |
the average temperature goes up. And also the intensity of rainfall. | :28:02. | :28:04. | |
Warmer air can hold more moisture which at some point has the ball | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
down, see you get a greater risk of increased intensity of rainfall. `` | :28:09. | :28:17. | |
has to fall down. But the big unknown is the Jetstream we know so | :28:18. | :28:20. | |
much about. They cannot pin down what is driving that and until then | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
we will not know the certain what we are in for. | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
What about today? Well, yesterday was lovely and sunny for much of the | :28:29. | :28:38. | |
UK. Today is a different story. It is a cloudy picture. It has been | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
heading eastwards, it will now turn around and work its way back | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
westward is. And a need that it is largely disappointing with quite | :28:48. | :28:52. | |
cold conditions, damp as well. There are some brighter weather drifting | :28:53. | :28:58. | |
in from the North Sea with spells of sunshine developing in Yorkshire and | :28:59. | :29:03. | |
Lincolnshire. East Anglia are doing quite well this afternoon. But under | :29:04. | :29:07. | |
the rain, six or seven degrees is typical for many. Not a great feel | :29:08. | :29:16. | |
at all. Something a bit brighter across Cornwall although it is | :29:17. | :29:19. | |
clouding over in Devon without rain setting in through the afternoon. | :29:20. | :29:24. | |
The western extremities of Wales should be drier and brighter and in | :29:25. | :29:27. | |
Northern Ireland it is much brighter than yesterday. Similar temperatures | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
in the North of Scotland where it should essentially be drier. Central | :29:33. | :29:35. | |
southern areas will see a bit of patchy rain. This evening, the band | :29:36. | :29:41. | |
of rain works westwards and the further east you are, the clearer | :29:42. | :29:45. | |
the skies. Things could get a bit frosty but I think for many of the | :29:46. | :29:49. | |
Premier League match as it should be essentially dried. Maybe just a spot | :29:50. | :29:58. | |
of rain at the Manchester match. For the east overnight some holes in the | :29:59. | :30:01. | |
east overnight some holes McLeod allow a touch of frost in a few | :30:02. | :30:07. | |
places. `` holes in the cloud. Wednesday will be chilly, especially | :30:08. | :30:12. | |
along the north`east coast. A fair bit of cloud along the east which | :30:13. | :30:19. | |
will bring in some showers. A bit of snow across the Pennines. Showers in | :30:20. | :30:22. | |
the West but there should be sun`dried bright weather across of | :30:23. | :30:33. | |
Scotland. Thursday keeps the easterly wind. Quite blustery | :30:34. | :30:39. | |
conditions. A fair bit of cloud and showers, most in the West and the | :30:40. | :30:42. | |
South but there will be further showers coming in from the North Sea | :30:43. | :30:46. | |
later on. Those temperatures still struggle. So a chilly breeze that | :30:47. | :30:54. | |
will bring rain to some areas. Hopefully a bit warmer for the | :30:55. | :30:55. | |
weekend. Our top story: In China, desperate | :30:56. | :31:05. | |
