Six schools are placed under special measures as Ofsted publishes a | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
report into extremism in the classroom. Nothing to hide - one | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
trust has denounced the decision, saying the Ofsted inspection was | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
carried out in a climate of suspicion. Our schools do not | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
promote or tolerate extremism. A face-to-face meeting in Cabinet for | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
the two ministers whose departments are said to have been briefing | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
against each other. We'll get reaction live from Birmingham and | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
Westminster. Also this lunch time, the terrorist | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
attacks on Pakistan's Karachi airport leaves 28 dead. 10 of them | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
Taliban militants. 100 days of campaigning to go. The two sides in | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
the Scottish independence referendum gear up before September's vote. | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
I am in Rio. In this soccer-mad country they cannot wait until | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
Thursday and the kick-off of the first match in the World Cup. Later | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
on BBC London, the mayor criticises developers who installed spikes | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
outside homes, apparently to stop rough sleeping. Claims in a rise in | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
the number of Londoners using food banks. | :01:24. | :01:43. | |
News. Six schools in Birmingham are to be placed under special measures, | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
following an inquiry of claims of infiltration by hardline Islamists. | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
Ofsted has spent three months looking into the Trojan Horse | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
allegations against 21 schools. It found five had not done enough to | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
protect children from extremist ideas. The education trust at the | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
centre said it rejects the claims whole-heartedly. | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
This afternoon, for the first time, we will hear a definitive conclusion | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
from Ofsted, following this unprecedented inquiry I has caused | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
concern for many parents. They -- it has caused concern for many parents. | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
It has provoked anger from some schools who say they have been | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
wrongly condemned for failing to protect children from of these | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
views. This is one of the schools at the heart of this contentious | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
inquiry. This morning a head of its official | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
publication an Ofsted report into Park View academy was the latest to | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
be leaked. It found: Parents say they don't recognise | :02:51. | :03:11. | |
these claims. We are happy with both of the schools and the teachers and | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
all of the staff. We don't believe what has happened is true. This is | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
one of the best schools. I don't know why they are doing all this. We | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
are happy with the children's education. This morning, in a | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
defiant statement, school leaders said Ofsted tried to find fault | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
after fears were stokes of a claim of a takeover plot by hardline | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
Muslims. They came to our schools looking for segregation, for proof | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
our children have religion forced upon them. The report finds no | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
evidence of this because it upon them. The report finds no | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
at our schools. Whether Ofsted shares that view will be made clear | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
when 21 inspection reports into schools across Birmingham are | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
published later. It is thought six schools will | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
published later. It is thought six measures. Some in the community are | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
convinced there is a problem. It will be quite a | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
convinced there is a problem. It the way they have carried out, | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
detracting from the National Curriculum and really for the | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
education of these children. These are state schools. These are not | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
religious schools. Therefore, there's a significant issue of how | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
they manage to divyiate from the national syllabus. In Westminster, | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
the Prime Minister is assembling national syllabus. In Westminster, | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
extremism task force to consider the Government's response to today's | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
findings. The Education Secretary Government's response to today's | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
has been embroiled in a row with the Home Secretary over the way the | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
affair has been handled. He'll make a statement to Parliament this | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
afternoon. It is a very serious matter what's been reported. The | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
House of Commons deserves to know first and fully what it is that we | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
intend to do. The politicians say they are | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
determined to keep children in Birmingham safe. Here some of the | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
schools are determined to prove students already are. | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
In the next hour or so, we'll have that statement from the chief | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
inspector. We'll hear from officials here at the City Council and from | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
teaching unions. It is thought some of the schools branded inadequate | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
could have their governors removed. Today will not mark the end. There | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
are further investigations still to come. For the community here in | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
Birmingham, it means further scrutiny. For parents and children, | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
it means further disruption to their education. | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
Thank you very much. Let's go to our chief political | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
correspondent who is in Downing Street. So, has this meeting this | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
morning put an end to the in-fighting? What we can say, Simon, | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
is there is an urgency in Downing Street to try and draw a line under | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
this bitter feuding between Mrs May and Michael Gove, which is why the | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
Prime Minister convened this meeting which both Mrs May and Mr Gove | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
attended. They left bicep rate entrances. It is why David Cameron | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
has taken person at charge of the issue. It is why he has slapped down | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
both of them. It is why Number Ten moves this morning to clear Mrs May | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
of the most grievance charge, flamely she sanctioned the | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
publication of that letter attacking Michael Gove. Number Ten saying this | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
morning they did not believe that was Mrs May's doing. Rather pointing | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
the finger at her former special adviser. Simon, we may get a much | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
clearer insight into the state of relations between the two of them | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
because of an extraordinary and unplanned piece of parliamentary | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
choreography when we'll have Mrs May and Michael Gove answering questions | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
from MPs on precisely the issue that has divided them - namely tackling | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
Islamic extremism. One after the other. Mrs May answering an urgent | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
question from Labour. Mr Gove making that statement on Birmingham | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
schools. If there is the smallest policy difference, if there is the | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
nearest glimpse of a sulen stare, then that risks reigniting the row | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
over the feud between them. Thank you very much. | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
And there's much more on that story throughout the day. It is on the BBC | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
News Channel. Eye witnesses said it looked as | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
though war had broken out and when it finally ended the attack against | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
Karachi airport had left 28 people dead. Ten of them militants. The | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Taliban says it was behind the attack, which began late last night, | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
when heavily armed gunmen entered an area used mainly for cargo and | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
private flights. A brazen night-time invasion. Gunmen | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
disguised as police guards stormed Pakistan's busiest airport. Local TV | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
captured the drama as fire engulfed the cargo building. | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
A Taliban spokesman said their aim was to reach the main terminal and | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
hijack aircraft. The security forces managed to stop them. | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
Although the battle for control lasted all night. | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
Some airport staff were killed. Others emerged shell shocked. The | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
injured were taken to hospital. No passengers were harmed, as flights | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
had been diverted. By morning, the police were back in | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
charge. TRANSLATION: Our forces have done a | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
tremendous job. You saw how quickly they controlled the situation. Our | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
army and police tackled the situation nicely and killed all the | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
terrorists involved in the incident. But this was only a partial victory, | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
for a Government keen to encourage foreign investment, a half ruined | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
airport is not the image it wants the world to see. | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
The militants arsenal of weapons was laid out. The scale and ambition of | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
The militants arsenal of weapons was the attack. There was food too. The | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
fighters had planned for a protracted siege. It is thought | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
three died after detonating suicide vests. | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
Many people are now asking how the militants were able to penetrate | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
security at a major International Airport. The Pakistani Taliban, who | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
have been waging an insurgency for years, said the attack was in | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
revenge for the death of its leader last November. There seems little | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
chance of a resumption of peace talks and a negotiated end to the | :09:30. | :09:37. | |
violence. David Cameron heads to Sweden today | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
for talks about the European Union. He'll argue against the appoint of | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
the next President of the European Commission, claiming he would block | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
change. The Prime Minister said whoever gets the job must have a | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
pro-reform approach. The Lib Dem leader, Nick Clegg, has | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
been trying to rally his battered party for the general election fight | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
by insisting the coalition has not robbed them of their soul. He has | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
been attempting to hit back at the perception that the party is only | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
interested in power for power's sake. If there west one criticism | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
that I -- if there's one criticism that I want to take head on today | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
because it is the most miss leading and the most p often repeated, it is | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
this, that by being in Government with the Conservatives we have sold | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
out. Lost our soul. Become hollowed out and lost our identity as a party | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
of progressive reform. It is high time we debunk this myth! | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
Let's get more from our political correspondent. Something of a | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
rallying call with less than a year to go, of course, until the | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
election? Yes, absolutely, Simon. It is worth remembering the scale of | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
the whack that the Lib Demes took from the electorate in the local and | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
European elections. In the European election it has left them with | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
councillors feeling they are an enDaninged species. The MEPs, well | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
they are lm extinct. Just one left cling -- are almost extinct. Just | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
one left clinging on. Given the councillors and the MEPs have taken | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
a whack, his MPs at Westminster are not next to be nuced at the general | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
election. That sense from some that the Lib Demes have tried to chip off | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
the awkward bits of the Conservatives and they would do the | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
same in coalition with Labour. He is saying they have their own distinct | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
platform. He is still speaking now an idea for spending more money on | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
housing if the Liberal Democrats find themselves in Government after | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
the general election. He says that the Liberal Democrats would stick to | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
the coalition's plan for paying down the deficit. How they did that would | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
be different from the Conservatives. They would not, for instance, | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
penalise those on welfare to the extent that the Conservatives would, | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
in the Liberal Democrats' view. He says that Labour has been far too | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
reckless with spending in the past and they would not do that. It is a | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
tough ask for Nick Clegg. Thank you very much. There are just | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
100 days left of campaigning left before Scotland votes on whether or | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
not to become independent. Today, both sides of the debate have been | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
stepping up their efforts toment encourage undecided voters. A poll | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
suggests the "no" campaign is still ahead. Today Alex Salmond said the | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
credibility of its campaign would lead it to victory. | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
The pro-European campaign says the nationalists are running out of | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
time. Let's cross to Edinburgh and join our correspondent who is there. | :12:36. | :12:43. | |
I'm in Dundee, which is in the heart of Scotland. It claims to be | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
Scotland's sunniest city, a city of 150,000 people. Politically it has | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
in the past been a bell weather. They sent two MPs to Westminster, | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
for example. One is from the Scottish National Party. They a | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
"yes" vote on independence and the other from the better together | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
campaign, who want a "no" vote. It whats been a day of very vigorous | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
campaigning here -- it's been a day of vigorous campaigning here. | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
A significant day in the debate over Scotland's future. From the "yes" | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
campaign what they see as a significant number. | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
Almost 800,000 people have now signed their declaration in favour | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
of independence. 17-year-old Jo is one of them. | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
I think that Westminster has failed to create an equal society. The idea | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
is the fourth most unequal country in the developed world. That is a | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
gap that is getting bigger T only way for Scotland to stop that is to | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
make its own decisions. The Scottish Government is focussing on female | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
voters, highlighting proposals to close the pay gap and provide more | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
childcare. That vote on September 18th is the greatest opportunity we | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
will ever have to built a better, more prosperous and fairer country | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
for ourselves and for generations to come. | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
From the pro-union parties campaigning as better together, the | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
100 day mark sees a more, finely tuned message. Supporters are saying | :14:25. | :14:34. | |
no thanks to independence. I am not saying what is happening is perfect. | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
I don't understand why anyone would think we are better being smaller. | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
How can you make better chances being a small country? | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
How can you make better chances The three main pro-unionist parties | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
say stick with us and more devolution is guaranteed. I want to | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
use these 100 days not to see Scotland divided further, but to | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
bring together most of us in this nation around a common vision of | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
Scotland leading the United Kingdom after the 18th September, not | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
Scotland leaving the United Kingdom. Both sides have spent the morning | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
emphasising their gross root support. They have been sharpening | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
their arguments over whether this should be the Parliament of an | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
independent Scotland or whether it should take on some form of | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
additional powers while remaining part | :15:21. | :15:20. | |
independent Scotland or whether it should take on some form of of the | :15:21. | :15:29. | |
I am joined by Brian Taylor. Give us a sense of the campaign so far, as | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
you see it. The a sense of the campaign so far, as | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
started only a week ago. a sense of the campaign so far, as | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
of course, it started when the SNP were elected to Holyrood in 2011. A | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
majority of Holyrood power. In these final 100 days the messages will be | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
refined and processed out to the voters. First to convince people and | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
secondly to get people to turn out N terms of Better Together, they are | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
reclaiming terms of Better Together, they are | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
putting out a slogan, "No thanks." Thar were | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
putting out a slogan, "No thanks." negative. Positively in favour of | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
the union. They are campaigning for a "no" vote in this referendum. It | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
is a polite form of no. In terms of the other side they | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
is a polite form of no. In terms of individually. 100 days, one million | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
conversations. In terms of the facts of the campaign, we've heard figures | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
banded around. Incomprehensible to most people. Do you think that will | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
sway it, or will it be how people feel about their nation? It has been | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
a campaign from the outset, it will be a campaign to the end. The doubts | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
will come from those who advocate the union. They doubt whether it is | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
advantageage. The reassurance offered by the other side supporting | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
independence. That is all from Dundee for now. Now back to the | :16:53. | :16:54. | |
studio. placed under special measures. | :16:55. | :17:13. | |
Coming up, I'm at England's training base, where they'll arrive in the | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
next couple of hours to begin their buildup to their first game against | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
Italy. Later on BBC London, taking audiences to new heights. And as | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
London fans held to the World Cup, some last-minute travel tips from | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
the British ambassador to Brazil. There are just three days until the | :17:34. | :17:46. | |
biggest festival of football in the world gets under way. The teams have | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
begun arriving in Brazil and playing their final warn-up games before the | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
host nation and favourites take on Croatia in the opening match on | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
Thursday. Jon Sopel is in Rio for us. Simon, welcome. I'm sure the | :18:00. | :18:09. | |
authorities, the only strikers they want to concern themselves with is | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
players, but instead it's workers who are the big headache in Sao | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
Paulo and tier gas was used just three days before the opening match. | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
Elsewhere in Brazil, soccer fever is taking over. The Brazilian flag is | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
everywhere and that phenomenon seems to be repeated across the world. | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
Andy Moore reports. World Cup fever is spreading around | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
the globe, even in a country like Bangladesh that doesn't have a team | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
in the competition, and never has done. Flags and jerseys selling | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
fast. The South Africa American teams, Brazil and Argentina are | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
especially popular. Thailand is another country with no World Cup | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
history, but it game of man against elephant was staged to get everyone | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
in the mood. It's not easy to score when the opposition decides to block | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
the goalmouth. South Korea does have a team in the World Cup. This | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
demonstration of underwater skills watched by thousands of sardines is | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
designed to show what is required from the national team. No need to | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
show that again in slow motion. In Brazil, the giants of world football | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
were on display and they don't come any bigger than Pele. He believes | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
that England have a chance of winning the Cup. England like | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
Brazil, Italy, like France, they are all teams who normally do not come | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
to the final and have reputations then we must be prepared for them. | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
We have to respect England, because they have the same chance. Some fans | :19:44. | :19:51. | |
arriving in Sao Paulo will find the streets choked with even worse | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
traffic than normal. A strike by Metro workers is continuing and at | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
the moment there seems no prospect of a resolution. Just to give you a | :20:01. | :20:08. | |
sense of the geography, there is the beach behind us and beyond that is | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
the world famous beach and three miles up the road is the England | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
hotel with nashly joins us now. Natalie, first training session due | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
this afternoon. Is everything as good as it could be at this stage? | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
Absolutely. It's state-of-the-art. This is a 40-minute to an hour's | :20:30. | :20:37. | |
drive away from their base. If you look at just beyond me, this is the | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
local bay and it's beautiful. This is what the players will see when | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
they arrive here in about an hour's time. This will be their home for | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
the next couple of weeks as they try to acclimatise to the weather. | :20:51. | :20:52. | |
They'll have a training session and later on some of the players will | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
head back to a sports complex on the edge of the city's biggest faff | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
Vela. -- favela. They'll meet a number of kids and take part in a | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
mini tournament. They'll have a Brazilian marble arts demonstration. | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
This to keep them occupied before they head off to Manaus before the | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
kick-off with Italy. Back to you. Thank you very much. Before we hand | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
back, I want to show you the fan zones, which is overlooking us. | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
There's an awful lot of preparation work going on. It is not ready yet. | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
I'm sure the authorities are hoping it will be there in place, on time, | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
for Thursday. Simon, back to you. Jon Sopel, thank | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
you very much. There was a time when the south-west | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
of England was famous for its tin production, but mining for metal in | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
the UK virtually disappeared in the years after the Second World War, | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
but that's about to change. With metal prices soaring, producing it | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
has become cost effective again. Today, work has begun on a new | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
tungsten mine near Plymouth. In 1998, the last shift headed down a | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
tin man in Cornwall, bringing to an end centuries of production, but | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
metal prices have so risen so much so that mining in south-west England | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
is viable once more. Hidden away in the hills is the third or fourth | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
biggest deposit of tungsten anywhere. Production could account | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
for more than 3% of the global market from one mine in Devon. A man | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
which has what ever industryised nation wants. -- industrialised | :22:32. | :22:40. | |
nation wants. What is it used for? It's used for hardening steel and | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
making drill bits. Is this the rebirth of the mining industry? We | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
are entering a new phase. The world market is exactly right. A new | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
demand for tin brought the prospectors back. Like the wheels | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
that spin above fortunes below go in cycles. Demand for tin and the | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
emerging industry of the 19 # 0s created a mini boom, but overheads | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
have sent business to other countries, but now demand is so much | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
up that mining is viable once more. This is the water wheel that your | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
great-grandfather made? Generations of the family have worked here and | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
Tony is a contractor on the new site. Mining won't go back to how it | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
was when they made this wheel? Surely not, but it's a breath of | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
fresh air and I really believe it can help to | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
fresh air and I really believe it villages and | :23:42. | :23:41. | |
fresh air and I really believe it people to make a career in mining, | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
which will open people to make a career in mining, | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
them all over the world. Metal production felt | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
them all over the world. Metal centres and | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
them all over the world. Metal showing it can just as easily move | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
back. There's been a big reduction in the | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
number of police horse and dog units. Research by the BBC found | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
that since 2009 the number of dogs has fallen by 200 and five forces | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
have disbanded their mounted sections altogether. | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
Here's Danny Shaw. Search, control, patrol. Police dogs and horses have | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
a variety of different functions. And they're trained for all kinds of | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
situations. In this exercise, a police officer posing as a gunman is | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
disarmed with the help of a Dutch herder, but there are far fewer | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
police dogs than there used to be. A sign that Government cuts to police | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
budgets are starting to bite. 25 out of 37 forces who gave us figures | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
have cut the number of police dogs in the last five years. In 2009, | :24:53. | :24:59. | |
there were nearly 2,000 dogs. Now, there are fewer than 1800. It's | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
immeasurable the deterrent factor that a police dog has in all aspects | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
such as public order, searching for vulnerable and missing people, | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
looking for drugs, explosives. The sheer amount of work they get | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
through is just incredible. This centre near RAF Arcenbury is the | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
training base for many police dogs. It's helped the police save money, | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
but with fewer dogs and handlers across the three forces, there is | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
sometimes greater distances to travel. The reduction in the number | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
of dogs and dog handlers is an example of the way the police forces | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
in England and Wales are being hit by the cuts. And other specialist | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
units have been hit too, like mounted branches. Five have been | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
scrapped, leaving just 12 across the UK. And among those that are left, | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
there are fewer police horses. The work of specialist units like dogs | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
and horses is being reviewed by senior officers. They want to find | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
out if the cuts have undermined the police's ability to | :26:11. | :26:11. | |
out if the cuts have undermined the emergencies and critical incidents. | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
But the Home Office says police forces still have enough resources | :26:16. | :26:23. | |
to do their work. Tennis and the Queen's Club championship gets under | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
way today. Andy Murray's first tournament since he announced his | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
new coach would be the former world number one, Amelie Mauresmo. She's | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
the first woman to become the coach of a Grand Slam-winning man in | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
rerent -- recent years. There of a Grand Slam-winning man in | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
sign of his new coach as he trained this morning, but Amelie Mauresmo is | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
en route from France to take up her position as Murray begins the | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
defence of his title at Queen's Club this week. Andy contacted me a few | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
weeks ago and we started to talk about this possibility to work | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
together. We talked again a little bit more about his game, about | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
different things and we came bit more about his game, about | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
a shot. Amelie Mauresmo's not the first female | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
a shot. Amelie Mauresmo's not the player in the men's game, but | :27:14. | :27:14. | |
there's never been player in the men's game, but | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
high-profile pairing. She was world number one and won two Grand Slam | :27:19. | :27:26. | |
titles, including Wimbledon. Murray also has two Grand Slams and an | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
Olympic gold medal, after a two-year stint with the emotionally immovable | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
Lendl. Now, he says he's ready for someone who will listen to him. I've | :27:37. | :27:39. | |
always had a strong female someone who will listen to him. I've | :27:40. | :27:46. | |
in my career. I've found with my mum, especially, she listened | :27:47. | :27:52. | |
extremely well and that's something that I felt right now that I needed. | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
Some have raised eyebrows at hurry's choice. How will -- Murray's choice. | :27:58. | :28:04. | |
How will she get on in the men's locker room? Others say she could be | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
just what Murray needs. I think it's a fascinating appointment. He's done | :28:10. | :28:11. | |
really well with all his appointments in the past. There's no | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
reason to doubt Andy. He's one of the big thinkers of tennis and sport | :28:17. | :28:23. | |
in general. Over the next few weeks, he's chasing more success. For now, | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
the Murray and Amelie Mauresmo partnership is only temporary, but | :28:29. | :28:32. | |
if she can steer him through the defence of Wimbledon and mastermind | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
the unthinkable it will surely last longer than just one summer. | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
We'll look at the weather and Mina Ridge is here. So far it's been warm | :28:46. | :28:50. | |
and humid, but a change this afternoon. Really quite a mixed | :28:51. | :28:54. | |
picture across the UK as far as the weather is concerned, because we | :28:55. | :28:57. | |
have temperatures in the Ruffalo 20s, so they're not doing too badly. | :28:58. | :29:01. | |
But no everywhere. We have downpours and for the next couple of days | :29:02. | :29:07. | |
still the risk of showers before high pressure should build into the | :29:08. | :29:10. | |
south. Satellite picking up cloud. Few showers drifting to the | :29:11. | :29:14. | |
south-east. The real cluster across parts of northern England. Starting | :29:15. | :29:18. | |
to moof into southern Scotland. Under -- to move into southern | :29:19. | :29:22. | |
Scotland. Under that there will be wetter weather. Heavier showers | :29:23. | :29:25. | |
across north-east England for the next couple of hours. There has been | :29:26. | :29:28. | |
some fine sunshine for Scotland, but it will tend to cloud over here for | :29:29. | :29:31. | |
the next couple of hours and we'll see the Narain becoming more | :29:32. | :29:34. | |
widespread and potentially heavier. The day well continue to be a | :29:35. | :29:37. | |
mixture of bright spells, but at times some heavy showers for | :29:38. | :29:40. | |
Northern Ireland, mainly across western areas. | :29:41. | :29:44. | |
For Wales, again, still the risk of the showers throughout the | :29:45. | :29:48. | |
afternoon, but no everywhere. Temperatures doing pretty well. Much | :29:49. | :29:52. | |
of south-west England will finish off on a dry and bright note and as | :29:53. | :29:56. | |
we move further south-east, the chance of more cloud and still the | :29:57. | :30:00. | |
potential for the showers to get going, although we are looking at | :30:01. | :30:05. | |
decent temperatures, but the humanitarian -- humidity is with us. | :30:06. | :30:09. | |
For cleans club, we can't rule out the threat of showers, but it | :30:10. | :30:12. | |
shouldn't be railing all of the time. Through the night, the general | :30:13. | :30:16. | |
trend of the showers will be to push their way northwards and heavier | :30:17. | :30:19. | |
downpours across parts of northern Scotland. A risk to the south-east | :30:20. | :30:23. | |
and later on in the night, another area spreading up from south-west | :30:24. | :30:26. | |
England through Wales and into the Irish Sea. It stays warm through the | :30:27. | :30:31. | |
night as we start Tuesday morning. Temperatures for many at 13 to 14. | :30:32. | :30:35. | |
As far as Tuesday's forecast is concerned, still a few showers to | :30:36. | :30:39. | |
contend with. The greatest risk through parts of south-west | :30:40. | :30:42. | |
Scotland, Northern Ireland, down through northern England and Wales. | :30:43. | :30:47. | |
Southern counties should be mostly dry and the south-east, fresher than | :30:48. | :30:53. | |
it has done. 22 degrees. In the north, when you get some sunshine, | :30:54. | :30:57. | |
highs of 17 or 18. We are starting to lose the showers on Wednesday as | :30:58. | :31:01. | |
pressure starts to rise. Most places should be dry and fine. The high | :31:02. | :31:05. | |
holds on in the south for the end of the week, but further north it does | :31:06. | :31:09. | |
look like there could be approaching weather fronts which will bring a | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
little more cloud and the potential for Narain, but temperatures still a | :31:14. | :31:23. | |
little bit above average. Thank you. A reminder of the top story - six | :31:24. | :31:27. | |
