A jury has failed to reach a verdict on the remaining charges | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
against the former News of the World editor, Andy Coulson. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
The judge in the trial said the country owes | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
the jury a debt of gratitude - and is entitled to know who was behind | :00:18. | :00:21. | |

will never happen again. promises about reform of the press. | :00:43. | :00:47. | |

Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. In the last few | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
minutes the jury in the phone hacking trial have been discharged | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
after failing to reach verdicts on two charges against the former | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
editor of the News of the World Andy Coulson and and ex-News of the World | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
royal editor Clive Goodman. Our Home Affairs Correspondent Tom Symonds is | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
at the Old Bailey. The outstanding counts relate to | :02:09. | :02:17. | |
allegations that they paid police officers for Royal phone | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
directories. This long courtroom drama is finally | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
over. The jury came back in the past half an hour and told the judge they | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
had not been able to reach a verdict on the outstanding charges relating | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
to illegal payments to public officials as alleged in the | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
prosecution. They were told yesterday they could reach a | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
majority verdict but they were not able to do so. In total six people | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
have been the big red as a result of this criminal process. Five pleading | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
guilty before the trial, one found guilty at the end of it, the editor. | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
Andy Coulson already convicted of being involved in the hacking | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
conspiracy, was back in court charged alongside his former royal | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
editor Clive Goodman with making illegal payments to public | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
officials. The prosecution says they paid police officers at the Royal | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
palaces for these confidential Royal phone directories. They list the | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
numbers of staff in the royal household. Mr Goodman denies they | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
came from police officers and Mr Coulson also denies being involved. | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
The verdicts yesterday including the acquittal of Rebekah Brooks have | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
been headline news for 24 hours. This morning the judge took this up | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
with the jury. He said I told you last night you would be hit by a | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
wave of publicity. I regret that. You must ignore it entirely. | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
Anything that you saw or read. He said I trust you implicitly to do | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
that. But the failure to reach a verdict will now mean prosecutors | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
must decide whether to ask for a retrial. The outcome of this trial | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
had been keenly awaited at Scotland Yard. The BBC understands Rupert | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
Murdoch will be questions when he returns to the UK. He is due to | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
arrive tomorrow. The Met is considering whether to ramp up a | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
corporate criminal investigation into News Corporation and news UK, | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
the renamed News International. This morning in court judge made a | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
comment about the Foreign Minister's statement following | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
yesterday. He said he had received a response from Mr Cameron's private | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
secretary who said the prime Minster had made his comments in the light | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
of the intense media coverage and understandable public interest. He | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
said the Prime Minister was careful to make no further comment about any | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
matters that might still be in front of the court. And also the judge has | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
banked the jury for its service today. He said this was a case that | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
needed to be heard. The public were entitled to know who was criminally | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
responsible at the News of the World. They had seemed a wonderful | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
example of the jury working together and he said the country owed them a | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
debt of gratitude. Next week we expect those six convicted | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
journalists come up a private investigator, to be sentenced. They | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
are expected to face custodial sentences, to go to prison. | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
at the Old Bailey. Meanwhile the sister of the murdered | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
schoolgirl Milly Dowler has called for better regulation of the press | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
following yesterday's verdicts. Speaking publicly for the first | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
time, Gemma Dowler urged the Prime Minister to keep his promise | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
to make sure what happened to the victims of the News of the World | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
scandal will never happen again. David Cameron has been facing | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
questions in the commons too as our Political Correspondent | :05:42. | :05:42. | |
Eleanor Garnier reports. The hacking scandal ignited when it | :05:43. | :05:53. | |
was revealed that private messages on the phone of missing schoolgirl | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
Milly Dowler had been listened to. When in News of the World | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
photographer captured her parents privately tracing their daughter's | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
last steps along this road, they ask themselves how did the paper know | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
where they were. No parent should ever have to be | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
told that there murdered daughter's phone was hacked. Speaking for the | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
first time today, Milly Dowler's sister Gemma put pressure on party | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
leaders in Westminster. Please keep your promise to the victims that you | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
will deliver real and permanent change so what happened to us will | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
never happen again. But we already know they were just some of many | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
victims. At the Old Bailey today Andy Coulson, the man who ran the | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
paper, awaited the verdict on further charges. Yesterday the court | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
found the Prime Minister's former adviser guilty of conspiring to hack | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
phones. The jury decided he did not just know about hacking but had | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
sanctioned it. And he was the press adviser that David Cameron took with | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
him into government. After his apology yesterday before a minister | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
repeated his regrets at Prime Minister's questions. I take full | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
responsibility for employing Andy Coulson. I did so on the basis of | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
assurances that I received but I always said of those turned out to | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
be wrong I would apologise fully and frankly to this House of Commons and | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
I do so today. But Labour asked why Andy Coulson had not had top-level | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
security vetting. Amidst all the warnings the very least he should | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
have done is insisted immediately on coming to office that Andy Coulson | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
should have the highest level of security vetting as his six | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
predecessors have had. Why did he not insist on that. Leveson and his | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
enquiry looks directly into this issue. The level of security | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
clearance was not the decision of either Mr Cameron or Mr Coulson, it | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
was the decision of the civil servants. It is three and a half | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
years since Andy Coulson resigned from Number Ten. It is eight-month | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
since this trial started. And the Prime Minister is still under | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
pressure from the victims of phone hacking and about why he hired Andy | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
Coulson. Well Kyle Walker is there now. Do | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
you have the sense that they would Cameron is still under pressure | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
about employing Andy Coulson. It could hardly have been more | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
difficult morning for the Prime Minister. Victims of hacking calling | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
on him to keep the promises he made on press regulation and Ed Miliband | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
on the floor of the House of Commons accusing him of bringing the | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
criminal into Downing Street. Now the Prime Minister was pressed on | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
whether he should have done more to heed the warnings that there were | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
already there when he decided to employ Andy Coulson. He did not give | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
a detailed explanation but what he did say was all of this had been | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
looked into closely as part of the Leveson Inquiry. And that that | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
enquiry had not criticised his own conduct. He also of course had to | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
respond to the judge over that apology yesterday but simply making | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
the point that he was responding to a verdict given in "and there was a | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
lot of media speculation. And simply that he had sought legal advice | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
before he issued his apology yesterday. An apology which it has | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
to be said has not halted the political fallout from this trial. | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
Eleanor Garnier reports. The country's largest payday lender | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
has agreed to pay more than ?2.6 million in compensation | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
for what the City regulator called unfair and misleading debt | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
collection practices. About 45,000 Wonga customers | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
who were in arrears were sent letters from non-existent law | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
firms threatening legal action. Simon Jack has more. | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
You appear to be in financial quandary. At longer you choose how | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
much to borrow. Longer is the one in the quandary today. It is the | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
biggest payday lender in Britain and has come under fire for the high | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
level of interested charges. Now it is under fire for its debt | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
collection tactics. One guy said it would contact 45,000 customers who | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
will share a pay-out of ?2.6 million. That will mean compensation | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
of around ?50 each although it could be more in some cases. -- Wonga | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
said. Wonga sent letters from fake law firms. The regulator says these | :10:38. | :10:47. | |
unfair and misleading practices and piled pressure on customers who were | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
already struggling. In some cases they even charged customers for the | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
bogus letters. This is a new don't -- a new low from the payday loan | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
industry. It is right that the regulator throws the book at Wonga | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
and gets tougher, clamping down on these unacceptable practices. After | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
a barrage of criticism, not least from the Archbishop of Canterbury | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
who tried to drive them out of business, Wonga promised last year | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
to try to clean up its act but this latest episode comes soon after it | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
emerged that tens of thousands of people overpaid the company and will | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
not do anything to repair the image of the industry. | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
Simon Jack has more. Campaigners who want severely | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
disabled people to have Campaigners who want severely | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
disabled people to have the right to is a "positive step". | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
Although the Supreme Court today ruled against a paralysed former | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
builder, and the widow of man who had locked in syndrome, | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
they urged parliament to examine the law on assisted suicide. | :11:44. | :11:51. | |
Clive Coleman explains. | :11:52. | :12:02. | |
Paul Lamb at the severe -- the Supreme Court in London has argued | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
that he has a right to private and family life because of the law which | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
prevents the most severely disabled from getting assistance to end their | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
minds when they choose. Paul Lamb has taken up the legal challenge | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
brought by the late Tony Nicklinson who suffered from Locked-in | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
Syndrome. The interferences with their rights as grave. Today the | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
court provided some encouragement but ruled against them. I think it | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
is a step in the right direction. It is now I believe for Parliament to | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
take on board. So it is a victory wrapped in defeat. Yes. Whatever way | :12:46. | :12:56. | |
you look at it, the one thing I said last night to my carers, I feel | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
proud of myself for what I have done. The ruling today is hugely | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
significant because in effect this is the highest court in the land. | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
Flexing its constitutional muscles and saying to Parliament, you have | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
to legislate to change the law because the current law on assisted | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
suicide is inadequate for the needs of people like Tony Nicklinson and | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
Paul Lamb. But many people fear any change to the law on assisted | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
suicide. The issue were dealing is people who | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
feel vulnerable, who feel they are a burden and have no choice and are | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
encouraged to save this is a way out. | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
For those like Paul Lamb who want a doctor to assist them to die, the | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
ruling today is mixed. They will have to wait and see if Parliament | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
was what five senior judges wanted to and changes the law on assisted | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
suicide. explains. | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
Football's world governing body FIFA, has begun disciplinary | :13:59. | :14:00. | |
proceedings against the Uruguay striker Luis Suarez, after he | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
appeared to bite an Italian player during a World Cup match last night. | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
No action was taken during the game, but FIFA could ban him | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
from international football for two years. | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
Suarez has been banned twice before for biting, whilst playing for Ajax | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
and his current club Liverpool. Ben Brown is in Rio de Janeiro. | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
Luis Suarez is the man who broke English hearts with those two goals | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
for Uruguay in Sao Paulo. Now it looks as though his tournament is | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
over as well. And here in Brazil we have seen the very best and very | :14:38. | :14:48. | |
worst of Luis Suarez. It could be one of the most shocking moments of | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
the World Cup. Luis Suarez bides Giorgio Chiellini. TRANSLATION: | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
Suarez is a cheat and he gets away with it because FIFA once their | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
stars to play in the World Cup. I would love to see if they have the | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
courage to use video evidence against them. The referee saw it but | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
did nothing about it. My own feeling is that he needs some help. Let's | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
say medical help, psychiatric help. This is a human being first of all | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
and he has got a problem that needs dealing with. Forget about the | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
football side of things. This fella needs looking after. Suarez's | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
manager has backed him. But he has form. He bit a player while playing | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
for Ajax. And he was banned for ten games for biting Chelsea's Ivanovic. | :15:41. | :15:51. | |
It was his two Goldsack knocked England out of the World Cup. After | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
that game, Suarez said that was a response to the criticism he | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
received in England. Last night he played down the controversy. | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
TRANSLATION: These situations happen in the pitch. We were both inside | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
the area. These things happen on the pitch and you should not attach so | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
much importance to them. Minutes after the incident, Uruguay | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
won a corner and Diego Golding's goal banished Italy from the World | :16:21. | :16:32. | |
Cup. -- Diego Golding's goal. With me now Richard Conway. What kind of | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
band could he faced? FIFA executives I have spoken to say this is a very | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
serious issue. They want this investigation to be thorough. The | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
band he could be facing, there could be indications from previous cases. | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
FIFA have a six-game minimum tariff in place for spitting. FIFA have | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
already banned a player in 1984 for eight games for using an elbow. The | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
FA band Suarez for ten games for biting a Chelsea player. Given the | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
seriousness of this incident, and given the worldwide state -- stage, | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
FIFA will want to mitigate the risk to their reputation and they will be | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
looking to take some serious action against Luis Suarez as soon as | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
possible, so the intention can return -- attention can return back | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
to the tournament. We hear that one of Luis Suarez's main sponsors could | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
be dropping him. They are reviewing their relationship with him. They | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
will not tolerate unsporting behaviour. | :17:45. | :17:55. | |
The top story this lunchtime: The jury in the phone hacking trial is | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
discharged after failing to reach a verdict on remaining charges against | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
Andy Coulson. I am live at Wimbledon where Andy Murray is off to the best | :18:05. | :18:06. | |
possible start in his second. The defibrillators which will cut | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
cardiac deaths. Later on BBC London: | :18:11. | :18:22. | |
And we meet the Tourmakers as the world?s greatest cycle race | :18:23. | :18:23. | |
comes to the capital. Muslim families have been urged to | :18:24. | :18:32. | |
approach the authorities early if they think their children are | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
being radicalised. The head of the West Midlands | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
counter terrorism unit, Sue Southern, | :18:38. | :18:39. | |
made the call at a meeting with imams at Birmingham Central Mosque. | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
She said groups inspired by Al Qaeda are the biggest threat to Britain's | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
security. Alex Forsyth reports. | :18:48. | :18:55. | |
This mosque in central Birmingham is far from Iraq or Syria but the | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
potential dangers of those conflicts are being felt here. This morning, | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
imams and community leaders from across the region gathered to | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
discuss how they can stop young British Muslims travelling abroad to | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
fight. This is not something we should be engaged in. It is thought | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
more than 400 British jihadists are in Iraq and Syria. Tracking them is | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
a priority for MI5, not least because of the security threat they | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
pose to Britain. A few days ago to men from Cardiff and one from | :19:33. | :19:34. | |
Aberdeen appeared in this recruitment video. It further stoked | :19:35. | :19:42. | |
fears. Speakers here say the Syrian conflict has touched people's hearts | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
but they describe those who have gone there to fight as misguided. | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
They say help should be through humanitarian aid not further | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
conflicts, and it is up to the Muslim community to make that | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
message is clear. The Muslim community should be united against | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
this kind of extremism and radicalism. Always they should make | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
sure that no clerics should enter into the mosque who has this kind of | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
radicalism. The complex reasons prompting young Britons to take up | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
arms are not fully understood. Exposure to radical ideology online | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
may play a part. Police want concerned families to intervene. We | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
cannot ignore it. It is here, it is real. The concern is, what is the | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
attraction for young people? What are they leaving behind? The trauma | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
for families. And what more can families do to come forward earlier | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
and alert the authorities? County terror police know the message must | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
come from the community if it is to make a difference to the mindset of | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
those risking their lives and possibly endangering Britain. | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
Alex Forsyth reports. Companies are to be banned | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
from preventing staff on zero hours contracts from working | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
elsewhere, under new legislation. The Government estimates that | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
125,000 people are restricted by an exclusivity clause. | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
John Moylan reports. Two people with starkly different | :21:14. | :21:23. | |
experiences of life on zero hours contracts. For one, the contracts | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
provided opportunities to fit work around studying. They are very | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
flexible. They allow businesses to adjust their costs so so they can | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
keep profits up, which means more growth for the company and they can | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
take on more people. But this man says he had no idea from week to | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
week how much he would work for my crime. I found it increasingly | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
difficult to feel joy about my existence because at every waking | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
moment the store was opened, I was there with my phone thinking, will I | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
get a call? Zero hours contracts are particularly prevalent in retail. It | :22:06. | :22:14. | |
is thought there are 6000 people employed in this way. The numbers | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
could be higher. The government accepts someone scrupulous employers | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
have been abusing the flexibility of these contracts. If they have been | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
open to abuse, and particularly around this exclusivity clause where | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
people sign up for a 0-hours contract, they may not get any work | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
but they cannot go to anybody else, that is what we want to stop. This | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
proposal does not go far enough. Workers need to know they have got | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
minimum numbers of hours that they can build a life on and decent pay | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
levels to go with it. The government estimates around 125,000 people are | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
currently prevented from working for other firms. That will now end. But | :22:58. | :23:08. | |
a 0-hours contract are here to stay. -- zero hours contracts. | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
John Moylan reports. Doctors' leaders are warning that | :23:14. | :23:14. | |
general practice in England is imploding under the | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
pressure of increasing demand and a falling share of the NHS budget. | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
The British Medical Association's conference will be told this | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
afternoon that people are going to have to wait longer for GP | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
appointments, as a result. The Department of Health says | :23:26. | :23:27. | |
the accusation is scaremongering. Here's Adam Brimelow. | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
The BMA says longer waits to see a GP are becoming the norm and the | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
situation is set to get worse, a crisis, it says, that threatens the | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
future of the NHS. The BMA says it is driven by relentless rise in | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
demand, with 40 million more patients seen annually than five | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
years ago, and a falling share for general practice funding. The | :23:51. | :23:59. | |
result, it says, is conveyor belt care at breakneck speed. Up to 60 | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
consultations a day. GPs say they are struggling to cope. General | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
practice is massively under resourced. I know the general public | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
may find that difficult to believe. But we have seen such a huge | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
increase in demand year on year, without the increased resources. The | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
resources have effectively been cut year-on-year. It is increasingly | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
impossible to keep up with demand. The government says a ?50 million | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
fun in England will improve access to GPs out of working hours and | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
encourage more use of telephone, e-mail and video consultations. | :24:40. | :24:41. | |
Here's Adam Brimelow. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
have been hearing the stories behind several pieces in the | :24:49. | :24:50. | |
Royal Collection. They met with experts from the | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
BBC's Antiques Roadshow at Hillsborough Castle on the final | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
day of their Northern Ireland tour. Fiona Bruce is there now. | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
I hope they were fans of the show? Well, I hear they are both fans of | :25:02. | :25:11. | |
the show. When they heard the road show was coming here to Hillsborough | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
Castle, the royal residence for many years, she apparently expressed an | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
interest in taking part. Together with our experts we discussed a | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
number of items from the Hillsborough collection. In | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
particular, there was a christening, which had a direct relationship to | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
the Queen, in that it was a gift to her aunt. Lady Granville was on | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
board a ship crossing from the United States. The chief engineer's | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
wife gave birth to a daughter. Lady Granville was taken with it. She | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
asked that the child be named after her and gave her this christening | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
cup. It was gifted back to Hillsborough Castle. This was a | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
night in the Queen had a personal connection with. The one thing we | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
did not discuss was value. I did notice there were some items that | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
were reproductions. The originals would have been extremely valuable. | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
These were later copies and not worth a fraction of the original | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
value. Even in the grandest of houses they can be some surprises. | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
Fiona Bruce is there now. Andy Murray's second round match | :26:21. | :26:22. | |
at Wimbledon is underway. The defending champion is playing | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
the world number 92, Blaz Rola, of Slovenia. | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
Later, the British wild card Naomi Broady will hope to cause | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
an upset as she faces former world number one Caroline Wozniacki. | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
Katherine Downes is at Wimbledon. Yes, as you would expect, the crowds | :26:35. | :26:47. | |
out in support of Andy Murray. They will be surprised and won over by | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
his opponent. He has got a big personality and he says it is a | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
dream come true for an upcoming player like him to take on the | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
reigning champion at Wimbledon. And other early start for Andy Murray, | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
the defending champion opening play again today. He was on the practice | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
court this morning. Leaving it later, the intriguing Blaz Rola, | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
Murray's opponent, making his Wimbledon debut. He is an unknown | :27:20. | :27:27. | |
force. I come from the small country of Slovenia. Only 2 million people. | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
Very relaxed, very outgoing guy. Lefty. As far as my tennis tactics, | :27:34. | :27:40. | |
I don't want to give them away! I would keep it to myself. -- I will | :27:41. | :27:51. | |
keep them to myself. Britain's Naomi Broady is the challenge facing | :27:52. | :27:53. | |
Caroline Wozniacki in the second round. Does the former world number | :27:54. | :27:59. | |
one know what she is taking on? No, not really. I will have my team | :28:00. | :28:03. | |
doing some scouting and seeing how she plays. I just have to focus on | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
myself and go for it, play aggressively, get her moving. If | :28:09. | :28:15. | |
forewarned is for armed, there could be an upset before the day is done, | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
with two of Wimbledon's biggest names heading into uncharted | :28:21. | :28:25. | |
territory. Usually those top players have the game to see off the | :28:26. | :28:30. | |
newcomers. But Caroline Wozniacki has been caught out before. She has | :28:31. | :28:36. | |
never gone beyond the fourth round. Andy Murray is already a break up in | :28:37. | :28:38. | |
the first set. Katherine Downes is at Wimbledon. | :28:39. | :28:44. | |
Time for a look at the weather with Susan Powell. | :28:45. | :28:46. | |
The weather will not give the players any excuses this afternoon | :28:47. | :28:53. | |
at Wimbledon. Plenty of sunshine today. The sum will continue to | :28:54. | :29:00. | |
shine. More cloud building up towards the evening. Temperatures | :29:01. | :29:03. | |
slowly tapering off. They will be in the high teens as they comes to a | :29:04. | :29:08. | |
close. Not a bad outlook for the rest of us. A lot of sunny spells. | :29:09. | :29:13. | |
Across the southern half of the British Isles, a fresher feel than | :29:14. | :29:19. | |
recently. Today we will probably hit 19 or 20 degrees. You can see it is | :29:20. | :29:24. | |
not a case of sunshine everywhere. More cloud across western Scotland | :29:25. | :29:27. | |
and Northern Ireland. And there would be some patchy rain lingering | :29:28. | :29:31. | |
here into the afternoon. -- and there will be. The rain probably | :29:32. | :29:37. | |
steering clear mostly of the Western Isles but we will see some getting | :29:38. | :29:43. | |
into the Highlands, Dumfries and Galloway. Patchy outbreaks for | :29:44. | :29:46. | |
Northern Ireland. The odd shower in Cumbria, Lancashire and North Wales. | :29:47. | :29:50. | |
To the east of the Pennines, lots of sunshine. Across Wales and the | :29:51. | :29:55. | |
south-west of England, the slim chance of a shower. Central and | :29:56. | :30:03. | |
eastern areas plenty more sunshine. A little fresher than recent days. A | :30:04. | :30:08. | |
very pleasant looking evening. Look at what happens to the rain in | :30:09. | :30:12. | |
western Scotland and Northern Ireland. Peters out in the evening | :30:13. | :30:16. | |
and returns in the small hours. It is on its way out tomorrow. In much | :30:17. | :30:21. | |
drier day for Scotland and Northern Ireland. This little lot down here | :30:22. | :30:25. | |
is not to be underestimated. These showers will move into Cornwall and | :30:26. | :30:30. | |
Devon by the afternoon. We could see some heavy rain in a short time. | :30:31. | :30:40. | |
Pretty messy picture. Elsewhere, sunny spells and temperatures in the | :30:41. | :30:44. | |
high teens to the low 20s. The showers coming in on Thursday | :30:45. | :30:49. | |
afternoon. Some of the heaviest rain may come in overnight on Thursday. | :30:50. | :30:53. | |
Pretty soggy campsite first thing on Friday. Here is the reason why. This | :30:54. | :30:58. | |
area of low pressure. It will not just affect Glastonbury. It will | :30:59. | :31:02. | |
spread across the southern half of the British Isles through the | :31:03. | :31:07. | |
weekend. A different theme to the weather on Saturday and Sunday. The | :31:08. | :31:11. | |
chance of thunderstorms anywhere. We will tighten up on those details as | :31:12. | :31:14. | |
we get closer to the time. at the weather with Susan Powell. | :31:15. | :31:18. | |
Now a reminder of our top story this lunchtime. | :31:19. | :31:23. | |
