Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. | :01:19. | :01:41. | |
The Prime Minister is warning of the dangers of not acting urgently | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
25,000 people are estimated to die in Europe every year from infections | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
which are resistant to antibiotics. Now the Prime Minister is warning of | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
the dangers of not acting urgently to tackle a growing threat. But drug | :01:56. | :02:05. | |
company say there is little incentive to produce new | :02:06. | :02:05. | |
antibiotics. This is a race against evolution, | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
the means by which bacteria constantly find ways | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
to resist antibiotics. 25,000 people die | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
in Europe each year from antibiotic David Cameron said if governments | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
and drug firms fail to act, that We are in danger | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
of going back to the dark ages of medicine, to see infections that | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
were treatable not be treatable. And we would see many thousands | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
of people, potentially, Kelly from Kent did nearly died as a | :02:38. | :02:53. | |
result of a drug resistant urinary infection. Her family were called to | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
her bedside at hospital, and told she might not make it through the | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
night. I was scared. Really scared, and felt lucky that I was still | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
there, but it made me worry because every night, I was like I going to | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
make it? I had hallucinations. The concern for the industry is that any | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
new powerful antibiotics would be so precious that they would be kept in | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
reserve and barely used, so there is little profit. | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
We've spent something like $1 billion over the last 10 or | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
12 years on antibiotic research, trying to make new medicines. | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
If, at the other end of that, the answer is, "Thank you very | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
much, we're not going to use it", that's not a great incentive. | :03:32. | :03:44. | |
Researchers at University College London are trying a novel approach, | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
trying to weaken bacteria so that they can be killed more easily. They | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
are also worried about a world without antibiotics. We use | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
antibiotics not only to treat patients with infections, we use | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
them to provide protection during major operations at as hip | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
replacements, and we use them to provide protection to patients | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
undergoing cancer tumour therapy during this vulnerable period. If we | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
lose the EU to use antibiotics, we will have to abandon these | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
approaches. Prime Minister has asked an economist to lead a review which | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
would try to find new ways to encourage drug development, and | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
ensure that we have new weapons in the constant war against microbes. | :04:25. | :04:34. | |
And Fergus is with me. Listening to that, people might wonder why an | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
economist leads this? Indeed. What we have got here is a market | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
failure. 1987 was the last time a new class of antibiotics came on | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
stream, the golden age of antibiotics is over. Something has | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
to be done to put that right. It is not just pharmaceutical companies, | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
but universities are also pulled out of research into infectious disease. | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
People thought it was a problem had been dealt with. The problem that | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
Jim O'Neill, the Economist, will look at, is how they can change | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
things, put in levers to encourage the pharmaceutical industry to make | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
the huge investment, things like pricing agreements and removing | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
bureaucracy to try and kick start this. But it will need to be done on | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
a global level. We have in hearing about resistance to antibiotics for | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
some time, so is the sense that the dangers really are as great as we | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
are talking about? Yes, I think they are, and the Prime Minister was | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
echoing what his Chief Medical Officer has said time and time | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
again. David Cameron discussed this briefly with the G7 last month. And | :05:43. | :05:51. | |
Chancellor Merkel and President Obama were effusive dig. It is | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
likely that the proposals from this will be discussed at a meeting of | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
world leaders next year. The former | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
Home Secretary Leon Brittan has confirmed that he was given a | :06:02. | :06:02. | |
dossier alleging paedophile activity The Conservative peer has come | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
under pressure to reveal what In a statement, Lord Brittan said he | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
asked Home Office officials to "look carefully" at the papers he'd | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
been given, but said the issue Let's speak to our chief political | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
correspondent Norman Smith. Just explain more about what Lord | :06:19. | :06:31. | |
Brittan has been saying? This morning, more key pieces of this | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
jigsaw of allegations involving historic claims of child sexual | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
abuse, the activities of the paedophile information exchange and | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
allegations of an establishment cover-up have fallen into place. The | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
Leon Britton, in a statement, has confirmed that a dossier was | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
prepared by the former Conservative MP Geoffrey Dickens, alleging claims | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
of child sexual abuse by prominent individuals. He handed it in to the | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
Home Office. The Leon Britton confirmed that as Home Secretary, he | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
met with Sir Geoffrey and he saw and read the allegations, and then | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
handed them on to officials. This matters, because up to now, Sir Leon | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
has said he cannot recall whether he had been passed that dossier. We now | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
know firstly that the dossier existed, and secondly that it was | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
handed in to him personally. Thirdly, it was passed on to his | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
officials. What we do not know is what happened next. And do we know | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
whether dossier is now? Bluntly, we know that the dossier appears to | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
have been lost. I say that because the Home Office have issued a | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
statement this morning, pointing to an interim report they conducted | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
last year, which has copies of the material have not been retained. | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
That was news to Sir Leon Brittan, who then put out a subsequent | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
statement saying he was not even aware that had been a Home Office | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
investigation. This matters because it is all part of the backdrop to | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
these allegations, the insinuation of some high-level establishment | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
cover-up. We have had demands from one of the leading campaigners for | :08:18. | :08:25. | |
this dossier to be published. Now I am told the dossier was apparently | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
lost, because it was on paper and there is no record of it. But the | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
likelihood is that that will simply fuelled the allegations and | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
suspicions of some sort of cover-up. Norman, thank you for now. | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
There are fears that a Palestinian teenager has been kidnapped and | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
murdered in revenge for the killing of three abducted Israeli youths. | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
The partly-burned body of the 17-year-old boy was found in a wood | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
Clashes with police have broken out in that part of the city. | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
Our correspondent Yolande Knell is in Jereusalem. | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
There is a real mood of unease in East Jerusalem, and plenty of action | :09:04. | :09:12. | |
still going on behind me. This is the Arab part of the city, where | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
people came up this morning, finding out about Aluko teenager who had | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
disappeared from outside his family -- a local teenager who had | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
disappeared from outside his family's store. It is thought he was | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
abducted and killed. It was in this woodland beauty spot that the body | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
was found. Israeli police think he was a young Palestinian who had been | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
abducted, and say this may have been a revenge attack. It is believed he | :09:40. | :09:48. | |
was aged 17. And in East Jerusalem, there has already been an angry | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
response. Palestinians began ripping up shop fronts for ammunition. With | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
heavily armed security forces trying to drive them back. Snatch squads | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
were deployed to make arrests. Minister Netanyahu has instructed | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
the police to conduct this investigation expeditiously, to get | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
to the truth of the matter as soon as is. He has also called upon | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
everyone to not take the law into their own hands and not to interfere | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
in the police investigation. There have been lots of clashes between | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
young Palestinians and Israeli special forces police on these | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
streets in the past few hours. The Palestinians were throwing stones | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
and the police as bonding by firing tear gas and rubber bullets. There | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
have also been attempts to destroy these shelters for the Israeli | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
tramline that runs along the road. Yesterday, it was a sombre mood at | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
the funeral for three Israeli teenagers who were found dead in the | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
West Bank earlier in the week. But that quickly gave way to calls from | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
right-wing Israelis for retribution. The government says it holds the | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
Palestinian militant group Hamas responsible, and that it will pay. | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
Hamas has not said it was behind attacks. Now, tensions are rising | :11:09. | :11:16. | |
again, with concerns that this could lead to a new cycle of violence. | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
The Israeli police are still in Vesta gating what happened, -- they | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
are still investigating, but the mother of the Palestinian teenager | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
has told the BBC that if it is confirmed that her son is the one | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
who was killed, she once the Israeli government's response to be as eerie | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
as as it was the those three Israeli teenagers -- she once their response | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
to be as serious as it was for the three Israeli teenagers who were | :11:46. | :11:46. | |
killed. UK house prices have risen | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
above their peak of 2007 after they climbed 1% in June, and | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
were up 11.8% from a year earlier. The figures, from the Nationwide, | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
show the average value of a UK property is now almost ?189,000, | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
though in London, it has topped Our economics correspondent | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
Simon Jack reports. According to the UK's second-biggest | :12:04. | :12:18. | |
lender, house prices accelerated again in June, and once again, there | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
were massive regional differences. If we look at price rises since last | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
year, the lowest rise was in Scotland, which saw 5.4% growth. In | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
the south-west, prices rose 9.8%, but that was overshadowed by a | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
whopping 25.8% rise in London. It is definitely the case that the gap | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
between London and the rest of the UK has never been wider. If you look | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
outside London, prices are half what they are in the capital. So what? | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
Does it matter that house prices in London are double the national | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
average? The Bank of England said an overheated housing market was the | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
number one threat to the UK economy, and a 26% rise sounds white hot full | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
of so are things getting dangerous? Even before these figures came out, | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
the Bank of England was concerned enough big mortgages relative to | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
incomes. I think the bank of even have been keen to emphasise that | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
they are not targeting house prices per se. They are worried about | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
levels of household debt. They have to formulate policy for the country | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
as a whole, and only an ice later part of the country, London, is | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
showing rapid house price growth -- an isolated part of the country. So | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
where do we go from here? The number of mortgages being approved has been | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
falling over the last few months. There was some evidence that even | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
London buyers are beginning to balk at high prices. We have noticed more | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
properties coming on the market. Prices are softer. Not so much | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
confidence about taking offers forward. Less interest, fewer | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
offers. As a result, there is more balance between supply and demand | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
and we have seen for some time. Would-be buyers and the Bank of | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
England will hope that that anecdotal evidence shows up in the | :14:07. | :14:07. | |
numbers in the months to come. The former French president, | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
Nicolas Sarkozy, has been placed under formal investigation, | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
and appeared in court in Paris last He's the first former head | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
of state in France to be held Our Paris correspondent | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
Hugh Schofield sent this report. A grim faced and exhausted Nicolas | :14:22. | :14:38. | |
Sarkozy, at two in the morning after 15 hours of cross-examination. He | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
has been placed under formal investigation, criminal charges of | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
influence peddling and corruption are looming ever closer. The former | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
president spent the morning at his Paris home, considering his next | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
move. He had been preparing a political comeback later this year, | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
but those plans are now severely compromised. Everything we know | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
about Nicolas Sarkozy suggest that he will not take this setback lying | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
down. He has fought off criminal proceedings before and is no doubt | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
determined to do it again. Ever since he left office in 2012, | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
Nicolas Sarkozy has been dogged by a series of investigations. His | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
supporters have said all along that it is a deliberate campaign of | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
harassment. TRANSLATION: Every time Nicolas Sarkozy makes a public | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
appearance, every time you talk about his return to politics or give | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
him a chance to speak publicly, a case is brought against him. But | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
speaking today, the Prime Minister said talk of a left-wing plot | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
against Mr Sarkozy was ridiculous. TRANSLATION: I am not going to | :15:48. | :15:54. | |
discuss a political plot. It is unacceptable. Judges carry out their | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
work independently and we should not interfere. Nicolas Sarkozy is no | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
stranger to struggle, but this latest blow with test him severely. | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
If he is to make his comeback, he needs to prepare for a long and | :16:08. | :16:08. | |
bitter fight. The top story this lunchtime: A | :16:09. | :16:20. | |
ticking time bomb calls for global action to tackle the growing threat | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
of resistance to antibiotics. And coming up, after the upsets of | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
yesterday, all eyes are on Andy Murray and his quarterfinal against | :16:31. | :16:34. | |

exhibition. As councils are being forced to | :16:49. | :17:00. | |
tighten their belts, for the first time one local authority says it | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
will have to find volunteers to help look after its parks and green | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
spaces. Bristol City Council says it needs to reduce the parks budget by | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
20% so it needs help with grass cutting, litter picking and other | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
maintenance work on the city's 5500 acres of green space. Jon Kay | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
reports from Bristol. So once you have finished your own garden, how | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
about giving these guys a hand? In Bristol, they are hoping to use | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
volunteers to tackle parks, verges and cemeteries, as the council cuts | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
its budget. Would you have time to mow the lawn? Not with a little one | :17:43. | :17:52. | |
and one at school. No! The council says that it will still look after | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
its green spaces but it cannot afford to do as much as it has in | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
the past. To mow this grass, you are talking two football pitches. John | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
already runs a group of volunteers that this park, mainly pensioners | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
who keep things nice and tidy. But he says asking them to do hard | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
labour is out of the question. It just wouldn't happen. It just | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
wouldn't happen. People haven't got the time or, as I say, the | :18:20. | :18:28. | |
equipment. The council says it is about engaging with the community as | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
well as saving money. But they admit there are issues about volunteers | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
using chainsaws and lawn mowers on public land. Health and safety is a | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
not we are still trying to crack and hopefully we will get there soon. We | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
have been hitting that for some years now. Marianne says it is time | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
for public spaces to be prioritised. She recently fell into | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
an open grave because the grass in this cemetery was so high she could | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
not see where she was going. The next thing I knew, I was flat down | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
on my knees. She says councils should be doing the work themselves | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
and not relying on the public. It is why we pay our council tax, to keep | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
cemeteries looking good and keeping roadsides tidy. But with council | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
budgets under pressure, the Local Government Association says we can | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
expect more authorities to follow Bristol's lead. | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
Jon Kay in Bristol. Britain's biggest police force has | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
been criticised by an employment tribunal for telling staff to delete | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
internal findings of discrimination. The allegation emerged after a | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
hearing that ruled that a black female firearms officer had been | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
directly discriminated against because of her race and gender. | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
Scotland Yard says it will review the findings. Clive Coleman is with | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
me now. This is quite extraordinary. This is a damning finding for a | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
police force that was dubbed institutionally racist in 1999 by | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
the Macpherson inquiry. Carol Howard is a 35-year-old woman. She was a | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
police officer and she worked for the Diplomatic Protection Group as | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
unarmed officer, one of just two black women within that group of | :20:17. | :20:27. | |
700. -- armed officer. A page of her in uniform was used to promote | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
diversity within the Met Police. But she was targeted by an acting | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
inspector who accused her of tampering with sickness records and | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
a variety of other things. She raised a grievance at work which was | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
investigated, and a finding was amazed that she had been | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
discriminated against on the basis of sex and race. -- are finding was | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
made. Then that report was amended. The key findings were taken out of | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
the report. She took the case to the tribunal and it was only because the | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
solicitors pushed and pushed that the original report with the | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
findings in it was put before them, and they could see the Met Police | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
had amended it to protect their position at the tribunal. The | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
tribunal was very critical of what they said was a policy of amending | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
and deleting findings of discrimination in these internal | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
grievance procedures. The Metropolitan Police have disputed | :21:23. | :21:31. | |
that this was a policy but that is how the tribunal described it. They | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
have said they will look carefully at the findings and act on any key | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
learnings. Thank you. The father of two men who | :21:40. | :21:48. | |
have -- one of the three men from Cardiff who have become jihadists in | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
Syria said he is prepared to die for the cause. I feel Muthanna says he | :21:53. | :22:01. | |
has no plans to return. -- Aseel Muthana. The interview was believed | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
to have been with the youngest of the three men, 17-year-old Aseel | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
Muthana. We asked him why he left the UK to join ISIS and if he plans | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
to return home. He said that jihad is obligatory and he had no plans to | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
return home. Do you have any regrets about leaving UK and how far you | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
willing to go for your cause? His response is, no. I can say I am | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
willing to die. So no apparent regrets from the teenager who said | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
he had come across many other Britons in Syria. To him, killing | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
people is just a religious duty, which I think is completely shocking | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
and frightening, to be honest. How can he take the life of a human | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
being? Muslim or non-Muslim? He went to join his brother Nasser Muthana | :22:55. | :23:01. | |
and Reyaad Khan, who appeared in a video recently promoting ISIS | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
propaganda. We discovered that they also appear to have been using | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
social media, in which they describe brutal killings by ISIS. A friend of | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
Reyaad Khan's family says his mother will be devastated. She is shocked | :23:15. | :23:22. | |
and as soon as she sees that, she will be even more shocked and it | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
will be heartbreaking for her as a mother. The men's families in | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
Cardiff have renewed their calls for them to come home to face justice. | :23:30. | :23:38. | |
Just to tell you, if you are in Wales come you can see Tim Rogers's | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
full report about Islamic extremism in Cardiff on BBC One tonight at | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
10:35pm. If you are anywhere else in the country, it will be available on | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
the iPlayer. The Queen has been meeting staff and | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
volunteers who are preparing for the Commonwealth Games. As excitement | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
around the competition builds in Glasgow, the Queen and the Duke of | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
Edinburgh were given a behind-the-scenes look at the venues | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
in the city where the velodrome is hoping to see a lot of medals for | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
the home nations. Add another exciting day in prospect | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
at SW19. Andy Murray takes on Grigor Dimitrov for a place in the | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
semifinals, he hopes, and that Australian teenager who knocked out | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
the world number one Rafael Nadal yesterday is back in action as well. | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
Katherine Downes has all of that from Wimbledon. | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
Hello. Yesterday the tournament was blown wide open. Maria Sharapova out | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
of the women's and Rafael Nadal beaten by a teenager from Australia. | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
Whether or not that helps Andy Murray's prospects is hard to say | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
because the youngsters causing the upsets looked dangerous and ready | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
for more. Today Andy Murray is taking on one of the more talented | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
ones. On Centre Court, even the lines are infused with British hoax. | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
Now it is time to focus on what is at stake in a race for a trophy that | :25:02. | :25:12. | |
could be anyone's. It all starts here. At least six of those guys | :25:13. | :25:14. | |
could win the tournament. It will be exciting tennis fighting for the | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
biggest prize. Two champions fell here. Nick Kyrgios outplayed the | :25:17. | :25:25. | |
great Rafael Nadal. Just 19, and here thanks to a wild card entry, he | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
could not quite believe what he had done. I am just a young kid. Never | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
did I think I would make the quarterfinals of Wimbledon in my | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
first appearance. I am sure some of you have 19-year-old kids. Also | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
gone, Maria Sharapova ten years since she won the title. Angelique | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
Kerber put paid to her hopes of a happy anniversary. She may stick | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
around to see this man, her boyfriend Grigor Dimitrov, who plays | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
Andy Murray today. Judging from pictures that Grigor Dimitrov has | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
posted online recently, he and Andy Murray enjoy each other's company on | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
tour, but any friendship will be set aside this afternoon. This could be | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
the match to finally stretch the Wimbledon champion. Andy Murray has | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
to be a little arrogant and he doesn't like to do that. He has to | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
B, this is my house, and he doesn't like to do that, but this is the | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
kind of persona he have to take on. I think he can do it. Don't get me | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
wrong. But shot be shot on grass, Dimitrov might be better than him | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
but Andy Murray has the experience. Some say Dimitrov has yet to mature | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
into a genuine Grand Slam contender but last month he won Queens, the | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
tournament Andy Murray was supposed to win. Today he is quite capable of | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
another victory that on paper should go to the defending champion. They | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
are just locking up and after that match on Santa court there is an all | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
Swiss match between Stanislas Wawrinka and Roger Federer, so a | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
great match for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge watching from the royal | :27:02. | :27:03. | |
box. Thank you. When tickets went on sale | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
for the first of Monty Python's reunion shows, they sold out in 44 | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
seconds. Last night they took to the stage at the O2 Arena in London for | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
the first of ten performances but did the expectation live up to the | :27:19. | :27:25. | |
hype? Tim Muffet was there. The Holy Grail for any Monty Python fan. | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
Tickets not just for a comedy gig but a milestone in popular culture. | :27:30. | :27:34. | |
I have wanted to see Monty Python live since I was ten years old. To | :27:35. | :27:41. | |
me it is like the Beatles reuniting. Extraordinary comic talents. Who | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
would have thought 40 years ago we would be sitting here doing Monty | :27:47. | :27:50. | |
Python? Performing together in the UK for the first time in four | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
decades, they have promised classics with a twist. New material, | :27:55. | :28:03. | |
alongside the very familiar. # Always walk on the bright side of | :28:04. | :28:12. | |
life! Nine more dates at the O2 have been | :28:13. | :28:20. | |
added. But has to wait to see them live once more been worth it? A bit | :28:21. | :28:30. | |
of me thought that I would see septuagenarian men at the O2 to pay | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
their bills, but you can see the love inspired by their material. I | :28:35. | :28:39. | |
don't think I'll ever see a performance as good as theirs ever. | :28:40. | :28:42. | |
Fantastic. I was at the Hollywood bowl show 30 years ago and as great | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
as it was back then. Something completely different? Maybe not, but | :28:48. | :28:53. | |
for Monty Python fans, a night to savour. Nudge, nudge, say no more! | :28:54. | :28:59. | |
Tim Muffet, BBC News. Time for the weather. Hello. Nice | :29:00. | :29:06. | |
and warm out there for many of us with sunshine and especially across | :29:07. | :29:10. | |
the South of the country but not completely dry because in western | :29:11. | :29:13. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland, the cloud has been thickening into the | :29:14. | :29:19. | |
afternoon. This clear band of cloud is upsetting the weather in the | :29:20. | :29:23. | |
North West of the country and it is the beginning of an unsettled spell | :29:24. | :29:27. | |
heading our way over the next few days. For the time being, still some | :29:28. | :29:31. | |
sunshine and warmth to talk about. We will get to that for tomorrow in | :29:32. | :29:35. | |
a second but this is the here and now, so we can see rain in Scotland | :29:36. | :29:40. | |
nudging into Northern Ireland. To the South of that, in northern | :29:41. | :29:43. | |
England and Wales, skies will turn hazy through the course of the day. | :29:44. | :29:48. | |
It will stay dry and the best weather will be across the South and | :29:49. | :29:55. | |
Southeast and into East Anglia, with temperatures up to 24 and maybe 25. | :29:56. | :30:01. | |
Tonight the cloud and rain sinks further South and by Thursday | :30:02. | :30:03. | |
morning there is not much rain around, just some cloud and a few | :30:04. | :30:09. | |
spots. Tomorrow and Atlantic breeze will bring fresh conditions to a | :30:10. | :30:14. | |
number of areas. For most of us it will not be hot but cloudy with some | :30:15. | :30:20. | |
sunny spells and some rain. The warm weather will be squeezed into the | :30:21. | :30:24. | |
southern and southeastern portion of the country. In London we could get | :30:25. | :30:28. | |
the hottest day of the year with high temperatures of 27 or 28, and | :30:29. | :30:33. | |
as for Wimbledon, it will stay warm and sunny all day. You will be | :30:34. | :30:36. | |
roasting if you are heading there. On Friday, the weather is going | :30:37. | :30:44. | |
downhill a little bit. Well, a fair bit across the West of the country. | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
That means the warmth is still with us on Friday across the East and the | :30:49. | :30:53. | |
South East. This will be the warm spot for most of us. Yellow | :30:54. | :30:56. | |
colouring indicates pressure conditions and then this is the | :30:57. | :31:03. | |
weekend. How low can you go? Right over our neighbourhood, meaning | :31:04. | :31:07. | |
plenty of showers on the way. This is the morning on Saturday. You can | :31:08. | :31:19. | |
see where the rain is by the morning and then by the afternoon it pushes | :31:20. | :31:22. | |
into the North Sea, good riddance. Then we get a slightly better | :31:23. | :31:24. | |
afternoon but no guarantee how good. Sunday should be breezy, fresh | :31:25. | :31:30. | |
with sunshine and showers, so quite mixed. Thank you. That is all | :31:31. | :31:31. |
