Royal controversy as Prince Charles appears to liken the behaviour | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
of Russia's Vladimir Putin to some Nazi actions during the war. | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
He reportedly made his comment to a former Polish war refugee who met | :00:12. | :00:14. | |

Good afternoon, and welcome to the BBC News at One. | :01:01. | :01:25. | |
The Prince of Wales has criticised the Russian | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
president, Vladimir Putin, appearing to draw a comparison between Russia | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
today and its actions in Ukraine and Germany under the Nazis. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
He mentioned Mr Putin after hearing about | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
the experience of a woman who fled Germany in 1939 and lost members | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
They met earlier this week at a museum | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
Clarence House said it would not comment on a private conversation. | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
Our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports. | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
His visit to Canada has been hectic with numerous engagements. It was in | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
Halifax where Prince Charles had a brief and supposedly private | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
Halifax where Prince Charles had a conversation with a woman who had | :02:10. | :02:10. | |
fled from Canada conversation with a woman who had | :02:11. | :02:20. | |
The Prince apparently compared events then to Vladimir Putin's | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
actions in the UK. The events then to Vladimir Putin's | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
wish to be quoted. But the Daily Mail, whose reporter witnessed the | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
exchange, claims the Prince said in relation to the Ukraine, now Putin | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
is doing just about the same as Hitler. That has no backtracked not | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
been a reaction from Vladimir Putin's spokesman. But it is likely | :02:53. | :03:03. | |
to be seen as deeply offensive. You cannot be much more insulting than | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
comparing the Russians to Hitler, because Hitler of course killed 26 | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
million Russians. I suspect privately he will be angered by it. | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
Here, politicians are divided about whether the Prince is entitled to | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
express such views. I would've thought Prince Charles is free to | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
express himself. I don't know exactly what he did or did not say, | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
because he thought it was a private conversation. The leader of the | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
opposition said the prince had point. I think he has got a point | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
about President Putin's actions and he is entitled to say there are | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
concerns about that. But Nigel Farage | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
concerns about that. But Nigel quiet. Sometimes there are issues it | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
would be better for the elected officials to deal | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
would be better for the elected Prince has made his views known on | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
foreign affairs. Charles boycotted an official dinner when the Chinese | :04:04. | :04:11. | |
president visited the country. Given that he is taking on a greater share | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
of his mother's workload now, such interventions pose obvious risks. | :04:19. | :04:32. | |
Just how controversial is this? This is very sensitive ground. There is | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
no comment more wounding to a Russian leader than to compare them | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
to the Nazis, explicitly or implicitly, to express a comparison | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
with Adolf Hitler. We are just a couple of weeks short of the D-day | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
commemoration when both Mr Putin and Prince Charles will be in Normandy | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
although they are not due to meet. One view would suggest Prince | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Charles is merely articulating what many people are thinking or saying | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
in private, but was it wise, was that appropriate for the future king | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
of the United Kingdom to be expressing those views, albeit in | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
what works backtracked was coming he thought, a private conversation to a | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
complete stranger? Thank you. The Police Federation has been | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
told that its public funding is After criticism of the organisation | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
over its financial management, the Home Secretary Theresa May told | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
the Federation's annual conference that is was not acceptable | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
for it to receive public funds. The ?190,000 the Federation receives | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
a year will stop in August. Make no mistake. If you do not make | :05:36. | :05:54. | |
significant progress towards the implementation of reforms, if the | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
federation does not begin to turn itself around, you must not be under | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
the impression that the government will let things remain as they are. | :06:01. | :06:09. | |
Our correspondent is at that conference. Just how significant is | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
this? Well, it is, because although to reason may have said, I will make | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
reforms from without the Police Federation unless you reform | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
yourselves, effectively she has applied them already. She's given | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
them an ultimatum, also saying she. The salary is the public pays for | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
the chairman, the general secretary and the Treasurer. It has already | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
been reduced, and did. Altogether. Another significant change, every | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
single officer in England and Wales will not automatically become a | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
member of the Police Federation, they will have two opt in. That will | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
apply also to deductions from their salaries which are used to pay for | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
the running of the Police Federation. She also says she wanted | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
to be more accountable, she is talking about finances here. So she | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
has said from now on the Home Office will have access to the Police | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
Federation central accounts. We learned last week they are sitting | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
on assets of ?70 million. She is also changing the law to allow the | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
Home Office to access the so-called number two accounts, described as | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
some by hidden or murky accounts kept by local Police Federation 's. | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
They will be brought under the scrutiny of the Home Office. So she | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
has by a significant shot. These are major significant changes the | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
government is making even before the Police Federation has started. | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
Six police officers have been served with gross misconduct notices, | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
following an investigation into the handling of allegations | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
against the lead singer of the rock band the Lostprophets. | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
Ian Watkins was jailed last year for serious child sex offences. | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
The Independent Police Complaints Commission says it's continuing to | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
gather and analyse information to establish if Mr Watkins could have | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
been brought to justice sooner and whether his celebrity status had | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
The RAF has sent a plane to join in the search for four British | :08:06. | :08:11. | |

The US Coast Guard has resumed the search following an official | :08:23. | :08:25. | |

At James Male's home, this dining room has become the operation room. | :08:42. | :08:50. | |
Family, friends and neighbours have gathered with laptops to amass the | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
social media and other information regarding the missing men. It is | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
relentless, but it is keeping them busy. You do what you can for your | :09:01. | :09:09. | |
family. Mum Lorraine has become chief tea maker. An open ended | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
succession of cups in the never ending search for her son. It is | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
horrible. We will hear soon, we know that much. Dad Graham has become the | :09:21. | :09:29. | |
voice of the family. The object is to bring the boys back. Now we know | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
that it's happening, it has taken the stress off in some respects, but | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
now it is back on. Research has to work and is going to find them. | :09:38. | :09:47. | |
James, who is years old, and his friends Andrew, Steve and Paul have | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
now been missing for six days. It was last Thursday that they reported | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
missing water. A day later, contact was lost. This is since become the | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
huge search area, today boosted by an RAF Hercules which left this | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
morning. Families are watching every development closely. Whether it is | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
people or pizza, this is now a huge operation running on optimism. It is | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
a feeling shared by all the other families, like the sister of Steve | :10:23. | :10:32. | |
Warren. I couldn't tell you what day of the week it is even. And just | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
going from more -- from one minute to the next, waiting for the phone | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
to ring. It could be the call we all want to hear. Online or offshore, | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
the search for the men of the Cheeki Rafiki is now transplanted in scale, | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
ambition and hope. A woman who claims she was assaulted | :10:52. | :11:00. | |
by the entertainer Rolf Harris as a teenager has denied making up | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
the story. The former BBC presenter is accused | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
of three counts of indecent assault against Tonya Lee, | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
who is now 43 and from Australia. He denies 12 counts of indecently | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
assaulting teenage girls. Our correspondent Sangita | :11:11. | :11:11. | |
Myska sent this report. Hello there. Welcome to the summer. | :11:12. | :11:25. | |
In 1986, Rolf Harris was a mainstay of children's television. In the | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
year he made this programme, his for allegedly to claims that when she | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
was 15 she was indecently assaulted by the entertainer in London. Now | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
43, she has waived her right to anonymity after selling her story to | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
be Australian media for 60,000 Australian dollars, around ?33,000. | :11:46. | :11:53. | |
Rolf Harris's defence lawyer today entered a heated exchange with Mr | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
Lee about the legal action she is taking about the publicist who | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
brokered media deals for her. She said, you say you were not motivated | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
by money. No, I wasn't, said Tonya Lee. But you instructed a Solicitor | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
to get the money you are owed. She said, it is the principle. What I've | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
learned now is the man will do anything to earn money. You were | :12:21. | :12:31. | |
quite content for the publicity and to pose for photos, Rolf Harris's | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
lawyer said. quite content for the publicity and | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
to pose for photos, Rolf Tonya Lee replied, it was blood money. I'm not | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
perfect, I don't think anyone is. Under cross-examination, she | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
admitted she'd got the day of the allegedly offence wrong by at least | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
one month. The defence went on to put it to where that there had never | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
been any physical contact of any kind between herself and Mr Harris. | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
Rolf Harris is accused of a total of 12 counts of indecent assault. He | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
denies the charges. The Court | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
of Appeal has overturned a decision to halt a major fraud trial which | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
was stopped when defendants claimed legal aid cuts meant they couldn't | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
find barristers to represent them. Appeal court judges said the case | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
should have been postponed instead. Barristers had refused to work | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
on the trial because of a 30% cut Delivering the judgement, | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
Sir Brian Leveson said the Court of Appeal shouldn't become involved | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
in political rows. At least 17 people have been killed | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
in an attack on a town The town is close to where more than | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
200 schoolgirls were abducted by Islamist militants | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
from the group Boko Haram. Yesterday two bomb attacks | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
in the city of Jos killed The authorities suspect Boko Haram | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
of planting those bombs. The President, Goodluck Jonathan, | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
has condemned the bombings Our correspondent Will Ross sent | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
this report from the capital Abuja. Scenes of panic in Jos | :13:51. | :14:00. | |
when the two bombs were detonated. Terrified, they run for | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
their lives in search of safety. These were two extremely powerful | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
blasts, the aim clearly to kill An indiscriminate attack which | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
killed Christians and Muslims. Among the chaos, | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
the emergency services tried to help Many had open wounds, | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
fractures and burns. Although it is not known who carried | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
out the attack, the extremist group Boko Haram has targeted | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
the city before, bombing churches in what was then seen as an effort | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
to ferment religious violence. They are often described | :14:41. | :14:50. | |
as religious clashes, but are in fact rooted in competition to | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
land resources and political power. These blasts follow other | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
recent attacks in other cities. The Islamist extremists are still | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
holding more than 200 schoolgirls Just hours after the bombings | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
in the city, another attack took place, this time | :15:09. | :15:19. | |
in a village in the north-east. There, militarist fighters went in, | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
looted, killed at least 17 people, and then set | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
fire to the entire village. They were there for several | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
hours throughout the night. They left | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
in vehicles that they stole. There is no sign that | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
the authorities have the capacity to turn the tide against this | :15:40. | :15:41. | |
brutal campaign of violence. That is what terrifies | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
many Nigerians. Retail sales growth | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
in the UK hit a 10 year high in April helped by food sales | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
during the late Easter holiday. The office said the annual rise | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
in food sales was the biggest since January 2002 and were helped | :16:00. | :16:02. | |

correspondent Simon Jack. this year than last year. Even if | :16:06. | :16:31. | |
you strip out that effect, we bought more in the three-month period to | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
April. The increase in that the man was the highest over a decade. | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
Adding back to the lending figures, we saw a 36% increase in mortgage | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
lending. Think about where we were in April of last year. We were down | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
in the doll drums and talking about a triple-dip recession. We are | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
comparing to some gloomy times but it appears confident is returning. | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
The Bank of England voted to keep interest rates on hold last time but | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
more of them are saying the decision whether to raise or hold is getting | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
more difficult. They are saying if we want the gradual rate of | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
increased rate rises we may have to start sooner which means we do not | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
know when interest rates will go up after five years of record lows but | :17:20. | :17:23. | |

demand for online shopping. The company, which was partly | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
privatised last October, also plans to open some of its | :18:19. | :18:19. | |
busiest delivery offices on Sundays Our business correspondent, | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
Emma Simpson, has more. We may be sending fewer letters but | :18:25. | :18:41. | |
the number of parcels is soaring. Royal Mail needs to grow this | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
increasingly important bit of its business. It will trial Sunday | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
parcel deliveries in and around London, as well as open 100 of its | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
busiest delivery offices for customers who need to collect. We | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
are responding to customers asking for more efficient services. We are | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
being told to have collections and deliveries on Sundays. Royal Mail is | :19:06. | :19:13. | |
having to respond to the change in our sales patterns. I am a | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
fisherman. We need it delivered on a Sunday. If Royal Mail is doing that, | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
it is a bonus. I think it will be really helpful. I am still trying to | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
contact Royal Mail goes I missed something last week. It would make | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
it so much easier. This is one of the biggest battle grounds for | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
retailers and parcel companies. Royal Mail is the biggest but it is | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
playing catch up. For some time now, why was happy making it easier for | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
customers to drop off and collect packages on a Sunday from | :19:51. | :19:58. | |

Letters are being sent to thousands of single parents in England, | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
Scotland and Wales, warning them to agree amicable child maintenance | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
arrangements, or risk being charged more. The Child Support Agency is | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
being replaced by the Child Maintenance Service. The Government | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
says the changes are necessary as the old set-up was costly for | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
taxpayers. But one charity said the changes could force some parents | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
into unstable arrangements. More details from our social affairs | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
More than 50,000 letters are being sent out this week. A crucial stage | :20:51. | :21:03. | |
in changing child maintenance arrangements. Parents are being | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
encouraged to come to an amicable agreement to avoid needing | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
government help. We think the old system is inefficient and | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
ineffective. It cost 400 million has a year and took money from one | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
person and gave it to another. In many cases, families could have | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
sorted it out for themselves to the benefit of them and their children. | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
Spike Robinson would agree. He says the Child Support Agency has delayed | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
his payments beaching his ex-wife and twin girls. He was doubted | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
whether she was seriously out of pocket. It is not in the interests | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
whether she was seriously out of pocket. It is not in of the children | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
or the parent to ignore the CSA. I would be very glad if and when we're | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
out of the agency. I have owned the to say, can I get out? For those | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
families who cannot agree over money, the new system will charge | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
them. The parent with the child, usually the month, will pay ?20 to | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
make an application. The dad will then be charged a 20% fee on top of | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
the maintenance payment while the man will have to pay 4% to get the | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
money. Single-parent charities are not impressed. The concern is that | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
by charging parents who really need the service, single parents who are | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
struggling in raising children on their own, at a time when money is | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
very tight, electricity bills have gone up, council tax charges, rents, | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
having to find ?20 up front to use the service may put some parents. | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
More than 1 million people be moved onto the new job maintenance system | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
over the next three years as the Government gets rid of the much | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
criticised and often hated Child Support Agency. | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
The jury at the inquests of the 96 Liverpool fans who died | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
at the Hillsborough Disaster have been seeing footage of the moments | :22:56. | :22:57. | |
The video, some of which has never been broadcast before, | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
Our correspondent, Judith Moritz, is in Warrington. | :23:02. | :23:10. | |
The Hillsborough disaster was filmed on the day by BBC cameras, by police | :23:11. | :23:19. | |
evidence gathering cameras and by police and football clubs CCTV | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
cameras. Inquest had been told around 2000 items of video now exist | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
and 7000 stills, which have been collected together to provide a | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
chronology of events that day. This morning, the jury was shown a small | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
selection of that material to piece together the way things unfolded. | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
Sitting just yards away from them by some of the families of those who | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
died, who were told beforehand that the footage may be distressing to | :23:47. | :23:54. | |
them, capturing as it has the last moments of some of their relatives. | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
They were told they could leave the court if they wanted but none of | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
them did. We can show you some of the footage. We saw the pens, pen | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
three and pen four, 11 minutes before kick-off, where the crowd was | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
swaying. The court has been told it has been impossible to identify a | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
large none of those who died through combing the video footage. We also | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
saw CCTV of gate the opening. That opened at 2:52pm that afternoon. The | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
jury was told around 2000 fans went through it and into the stadium. The | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
court has now broken for lunch. The jury will continue looking at some | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
of the film material this afternoon. On Friday, the court will | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
be taken from Warrington over to Sheffield so that the jury can see | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
the Hillsborough stadium for themselves. | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
Olympic champion Jessica Ennis-Hill says she's enjoying her pregnancy | :24:53. | :24:54. | |
but remains determined to defend her heptathlon title | :24:55. | :24:56. | |
And with sexism allegations in sport dominating | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
the headlines recently, she said she hasn't experienced sexism in her | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
She told our sports correspondent Joe Wilson she hopes there will be | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
a sporting opportunity for her child, regardless of gender. | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
This is Jessica Ennis Hill's primary concern at the moment. | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
She is enjoying the latter stages of pregnancy, reminding herself she | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
is not competing in the Commonwealth Games this summer. | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
Defending her Olympic heptathlon title in Rio | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
in two years' time remains a goal but it is not the only one. | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
I want to make sure I spend as much time with my baby once they're here | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
Then I will build back into training. | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
I have a fantastic team, a great coach. | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
Jessica Ennis Hill is in London today to hopefully launch | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
a series of half marathon races across England. | :25:53. | :25:54. | |
For the organisers she is the perfect choice, in their words, | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
The big talking point in British sport for days has been sexism. | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
The content and tone by Richard Scudamore, the head of the Premier | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
League, has questioned football 's commitment to gender equality. | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
Jessica Ennis Hill believes athletics does not discriminate. | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
I think sport is great thing to get involved in. | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
There are unfortunately areas of sexism you run into. | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
I have been very fortunate and had some great experiences | :26:30. | :26:31. | |
I would definitely encourage my child to be a sporty as they can. | :26:32. | :26:50. | |
Revolutionary engineering is bringing the power of the ocean | :26:51. | :27:01. | |
The go-ahead has been given to build the UK's first inland surf lake | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
The giant wave lagoon will be three times the size of a football pitch. | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
Our correspondent, Claire Marshall, has been to the Spanish city of | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
San Sebastian where a much smaller prototype | :27:14. | :27:15. | |
Riding the energy of the ccean takes exceptional skill. | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
So could it be here on an industrial wasteland in the Welsh mountains? | :27:19. | :27:27. | |
We have now got permission to break up the concrete. | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
That's the plan now being put into action. | :27:33. | :27:35. | |
Work has just started on an inland surf lake. | :27:36. | :27:37. | |
It will be the first in Britain and the first of its type in the world. | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
The waves will go in this direction, towards the mountain. | :27:44. | :27:46. | |
The machinery then turns around, goes back in the | :27:47. | :27:57. | |
You book your hour online, you turn up, you know you get in. | :27:58. | :28:06. | |
They are using revolutionary technology. | :28:07. | :28:07. | |
Just outside Bilbao, professional surfers are having a go. | :28:08. | :28:10. | |
The engineering is unique and secret. | :28:11. | :28:12. | |
Here it is, the perfect, mechanical wave. | :28:13. | :28:15. | |
Over a metre high and you get one every minute of these. | :28:16. | :28:18. | |
The signs on display here could be changing the nature of surfing. | :28:19. | :28:21. | |
An underwater foil operates like a snow plough, | :28:22. | :28:23. | |
With the lagoon shape, we are able to create perfect waves. | :28:24. | :28:31. | |
This could even make surfing an Olympic sport. | :28:32. | :28:49. | |
You are watching the coach of the British surf team. | :28:50. | :28:52. | |
Especially coming from the UK where we get inconsistent | :28:53. | :28:54. | |
To be able to come and surf a wave every minute, it will be of huge | :28:55. | :29:02. | |
benefit, not just to UK surfers but anybody who wants to improve their | :29:03. | :29:05. | |
Purists may say the natural soul of surfing is lost by riding | :29:06. | :29:09. | |
a fake wave but it is fun and isn't that what it is all about? | :29:10. | :29:19. | |
A very decent picture behind me. I can almost hear the clamour from the | :29:20. | :29:37. | |
North of Scotland where it is a different kettle of fish. We have to | :29:38. | :29:41. | |
talk about the cloud coming from France. That would be a major player | :29:42. | :29:46. | |
in the next 24 hours. In between, a decent slab of sunny weather. | :29:47. | :29:51. | |
Temperatures about 20 degrees or so on the bank of the Humber. In | :29:52. | :29:59. | |
Stornoway, 17.5. A lot of cloud and rain. For Northern Ireland, the | :30:00. | :30:12. | |
Queen 's Batten Relay is here at the moment. Then we're into the great | :30:13. | :30:16. | |
swathe of decent, fine weather. One or two heavy showers ahead of the | :30:17. | :30:21. | |
rain band may just get into some of the southern counties. Temperatures | :30:22. | :30:26. | |
19, 20. All change for the here comes the cloud and rain. Just in | :30:27. | :30:30. | |
time for the rush hour through Kent and coming up into London. Some | :30:31. | :30:34. | |
vivid colours with heavy downpours. No escape. These are not showers, | :30:35. | :30:39. | |
they are persistent rain. Some of them are heavy. There are Met Office | :30:40. | :30:44. | |
weather warnings on the website. At eight a.m., just when you are | :30:45. | :30:47. | |
thinking about Thursday, called to the north of it. Something dry in | :30:48. | :30:52. | |
East Anglia and the south-east. While the rain is around, a couple | :30:53. | :30:56. | |
of things to bear in mind, quite persistent in the eastern side of | :30:57. | :31:00. | |
Scotland. In the West, I'm not sure. It could get to Glasgow or farther | :31:01. | :31:05. | |
west. The southern portion turns more showery. The of survey -- a | :31:06. | :31:12. | |
mixture of sunny spells. There is a warning in the southern half of | :31:13. | :31:17. | |
Britain about the intensity. Sunny spells and showers with rain tending | :31:18. | :31:20. | |
to fizzle away in the northern part of Scotland. Some of them are heavy | :31:21. | :31:26. | |
in the own right. In the weekend, Saturday will have heavy showers. | :31:27. | :31:32. | |
Less so on Sunday. There will be some sunshine. Generally speaking, | :31:33. | :31:35. | |
it will be getting | :31:36. | :31:36. |
