The Government opens the bidding process for new licences | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
to extract shale gas using the controversial fracking process. | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
About half the UK is open to exploration - | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
but restrictions will apply in areas of outstanding beauty. | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
We'll be looking at where the fracking might happen. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Also this lunchtime, after three weeks of death and | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
destruction in Gaza, the UN calls for an "immediate and unconditional | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
humanitarian ceasefire". As fighting intensifies | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
around the crash site of the downed Malaysia Airlines plane, its black | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
box is reported to reveal a ?massive explosive? loss of pressure | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
after it was hit by shrapnel. Flash floods bring Monday morning | :00:46. | :00:46. | |
chaos to parts of the south east. I am at a packed Hampden Park on day | :00:47. | :01:01. | |
five of the Commonwealth Games where the youngest competitor of all is | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
now an overnight star. The 13-year-old from Shetland who took | :01:06. | :01:06. | |
bronze in the pool for Scotland. chaos to parts of the south east. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
I knew there were only seven of us in the event, so I knew I had | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
a chance but I didn't expect it. Later on BBC London, officers to | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
patrol London's West End as the Met learns lessons from New York. | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
And people rescued from homes and cars after flash floods | :01:24. | :01:24. | |
in west London. Good afternoon, | :01:25. | :01:48. | |
and welcome to the BBC News at One. Vast areas of Britain could be | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
opened up to fracking under plans being set out by the Government. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
It's inviting companies to bid for new licences to extract oil and | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
gas from shale, but stricter rules would apply to national parks. | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
Supporters say it's a chance to reduce our reliance | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
on imported energy. But opponents say fracking is | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
dangerous to the environment. John Moylan reports. | :02:10. | :02:20. | |
The East Midlands was once at the heart of Britain's call industry. | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
There has also been oil produced in these parts for decades. But it is | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
the shale rocks deep underground here and in other parts of Britain | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
which I now the focus of the fracking industry. We have been | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
producing oil and gas from many decades. We are still producing oil | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
and gas. That is licensed. We know there is oil and gas in the ground | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
in this region. Just behind me to my right, we know there are rocks which | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
generate oil and gas. They are shales. It is a prospective area to | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
be considered. There are thought to be vast quantities of oil and gas in | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
shale rocks across the North of England, the South and Central | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Scotland. Some of these areas are already licensed. Now the Government | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
is offering companies the rights to drill across vast areas of Britain, | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
stretching from Scotland to the south coast. We think it is very | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
important that we take advantage of this opportunity to explore the gas | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
that may be under our soil, in order to increase the domestic security of | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
our energy supplies, because over recent years we have had to start | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
importing oil and gas. Fracking happens deep underground. Water, | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
sand and chemicals are injected at high pressure into shale rocks to | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
release the oil and gas. But opponents say it will harm the | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
environment. In recent weeks, hundreds turned out to protest | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
against fracking in Beverley in East Yorkshire. There were also angry | :04:04. | :04:11. | |
demonstrations in Northern Ireland. To allay fears, the Government is | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
tightening rules around exploration in national parks and Areas of | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
Outstanding Natural Beauty. There will be no outright ban and fracking | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
will only go ahead in exceptional circumstances. The government will | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
have a veto. That is not enough for some. If they are serious about | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
protecting national parks, why not make those out of bounds to fracking | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
completely? I don't think too many people will be reassured by Eric | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
Pickles having an optional veto. The government hopes fracking will lead | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
to thousands of jobs and end our reliance on imported gas. | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
John Moylan reports. There have been sporadic attacks | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
by both Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza this morning, | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
amid a relative lull in the violence of recent weeks. | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
There were no Israeli air strikes overnight, | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
though the military fired at targets in Gaza after a rocket hit the | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
southern Israeli city of Ashkelon. Both sides criticised a demand | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
from the United Nations Security Council for an immediate | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
and unconditional ceasefire. Martin Patience reports from Gaza. | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
Even amid the ruins, people in Gaza marked the end of Ramadan. The start | :05:20. | :05:31. | |
of a three-day festival is supposed to be a moment of joy and | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
celebration. But there is only bitterness and sorrow here. More | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
than 150,000 Palestinians have been forced out of their homes by the | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
fighting. Most are staying at the UN schools. There were no gifts for the | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
children here, only desperation from their parents. | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
TRANSLATION: We have fled from our homes. There is no festival of Eid | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
here. The situation is miserable. I do not have one second to give my | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
son and daughter. We have nothing. This has been the quietest period | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
since the military operation began three weeks ago. There is | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
international pressure on Israel and Hamas to exact a long-time | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
cease-fire. Hamas say it will only accept it if there are international | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
guarantees that the blockade is lifted on Gaza might. | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
-- Gaza. We are asking for a full cease-fire to stop the killing and | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
give us the right to freedom and open the borders. The Israeli | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
military continues to destroy tunnels used by Hamas to stage | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
cross-border attacks. They also want an end to the rocket fire. We are | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
not willing these rockets will come over. If Hamas sees rockets, we will | :06:53. | :07:02. | |
not necessarily respond. -- cease. We want to safeguard the state of | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
Israel. Israel says that until the security of its citizens is | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
guaranteed, it has the right to continue this offensive. | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
Martin Patience reports from Gaza. A group of Dutch and Australian | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
police have called off another attempt to reach | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
the crash site of flight MH-17 in eastern Ukraine.because | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
of fighting in the area between government forces and rebels. | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
Analysis of the black box flight recorder 's show it was damaged by | :07:34. | :07:46. | |
shrapnel, according to Ukraine. A Ukrainian separatist tank, it seems, | :07:47. | :07:55. | |
shelling Ukrainian government forces. Intensified fighting has | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
brought a new expression of alarm from the UN. It has erupted not far | :07:59. | :08:07. | |
from the crash site of MH-17. It has frustrated the efforts of | :08:08. | :08:08. | |
international inspectors to get there. More footage apparently of | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
the pounding of a town. The UN says both sides have been using heavy | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
weapons in built-up areas in the latest fighting and that more than | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
1100 people have died in this conflict since mid-April. The | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
diplomatic exchanges have intensified, too. Russia has again | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
rejected international in fear -- interference and denounced | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
sanctions. TRANSLATION: I am sure we will be | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
able to overcome the difficulties that may occur in some sectors of | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
the economy, and maybe we will be more independent and more confident. | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
But I hope the situation will change. At the moment it is the will | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
to punish Russia that prevails among Western partners. | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
The charges and counter charges go on over the deadly downing a flight | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
MH-17. The latest from the Ukrainian government is that the black boxes | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
record a massive explosive decompression caused by shrapnel | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
from a rocket. For now, the Australian and Dutch police have | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
been held up for another day by the fighting in their efforts to get to | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
the crash site. However this conflict now unfolds, it continues | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
to bring suffering on the ground and its grim repercussions, personnel | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
and diplomatic, continued to reverberate around the world. | :09:30. | :09:30. | |
government forces and rebels. Here, Downing Street say EU talks on | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
tougher sanctions against Russia are "moving in the right direction". | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
Norman Smith is in Westminster. Does that mean they may actually | :09:36. | :09:47. | |
happen? There has been exasperation in Downing Street at the failure of | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
other leaders to agree tougher measures against President Putin. We | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
are on the cusp of a meaningful package of economic sanctions which | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
could be agreed as early as tomorrow in the area of defence, energy and | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
banking. The government wants this will mean economic pain for the | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
European Union. Germany will be hit by a bar on the export -- exports to | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
Russia's booming energy sector. We will be hit by the City of London in | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
effect having to close its doors to Russian banks. The criticism will be | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
it has taken an awfully long time to get to this point. Multi-macro | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
things have changed. One, the downing of the Malaysian airliner. | :10:32. | :10:39. | |
-- two. In the long-term, doing nothing would be more economically | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
damaging. Why? It is argued because Russian actions undermine the | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
international rule of law which trade is based. They destabilised a | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
European country and undermined confidence in the markets. | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
Norman Smith is in Westminster. Parts of London and south east | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
England suffered freak hail storms and flash floods this morning. | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
In the United States, one man has died and at least 14 others have | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
been taken to hospital, after being struck by lightning in Los Angeles. | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
They were caught on Venice Beach as rare summer thunderstorms swept | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
through Southern California. Richard Lister reports. | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
This was the scene minutes after a violent electrical storm caused | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
panic on one of America's most famous beaches. The emergency | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
services responding to reports that several people had been injured by | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
lightening. Beach-goers said the only warning they had was when the | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
sky suddenly darkened. I said this was not a good place to be. I do not | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
feel like getting killed today. And then, moments later, all hell broke | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
close. It was the loudest thunder I have ever heard. It was like a scene | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
out of Jaws. Club like somebody punched me on the back of my head | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
and it went down the right side of my body. I fell over. This man, | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
lying stunned on the shoreline, was one of at least a dozen people | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
treated at the scene. Most of those affected have been in the water when | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
lightning struck. They have been packaged and sent away. Most of them | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
are doing well. One person received serious injuries. They have been | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
transported to a local facility. Others were taken to hospital. -- of | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
those taken to hospital one is critically injured, another has | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
died. Helicopters patrolled the shoreline looking for a more | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
casualties. Lifeguards make sure nobody had been missed. The storm | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
was a brief interruption on a sunny afternoon. But for a least one | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
family had meant a day at the beach ended in tragedy. | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
Richard Lister reports. Parts of London and south east | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
England suffered freak hail storms and flash floods this morning. | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
Lightning strikes and torrential rain also disrupted | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
travel across Sussex. Rail passengers in Hove, Brighton | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
and Worthing were delayed and the police issued a warning to drivers. | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
Laura Trant is at Worthing station. The battering large areas of the | :13:00. | :13:09. | |
South East woke up to this morning. Freak lightning struck along with | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
thunderstorms and hailstorms. The torrential rain had nowhere to | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
drain, causing localised flooding and travel chaos to thousands of | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
commuters. Lightning hit and electricity hope in Hove, Consett -- | :13:24. | :13:32. | |
causing cancellations. This meant chaos for the start of the working | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
week. In London, some central stations were knee deep in water. | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
Flooding on the motorways cost long delays. -- cause. For many, the rain | :13:42. | :13:50. | |
has eased off. The Environment Agency has issued further flood | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
warnings in part of Sussex and Kent. The top story this lunch time: The | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
bidding process is open for new licences to extract shale gas using | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
controversial fracking. Still to come, England's batsmen find their | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
form against India on the second day of the third test. | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
Later on BBC London, singer Tulisa says she has been given another shot | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
at her career. And we speak to the London rabbi who has taken part in | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
an Islamic tradition. The war in Syria is now into its | :14:27. | :14:39. | |
fourth year and is thought to have claimed more than 150,000 lives. | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
Millions more have been displaced and many of them are living | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
in refugee camps. But those left behind | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
in Syria are also suffering and none more so than the children | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
caught up in the conflict. The BBC's chief international | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
correspondent, Lyse Doucet, has been to several cities | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
across the country to meet some of them and sent this report. | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
There is no end in sight to Syria's brutal war | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
and the children are not just caught in crossfire, they are targeted. | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
Syria's war is also a war on childhood. | :15:14. | :15:15. | |
Their homes are being destroyed, their schools attacked. | :15:16. | :15:29. | |
They are living through violence no child should see | :15:30. | :15:31. | |
and they don't forget it. Some children already | :15:32. | :15:54. | |
want to fight back. On all sides, children's lives are | :15:55. | :16:13. | |
steeped in the politics of this war. And the youngest are fighting | :16:14. | :16:42. | |
their own battles just to survive. Tell me what it was like | :16:43. | :16:44. | |
for you inside. Syria's children tell us a lot | :16:45. | :17:01. | |
about this war. They also give us a glimpse | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
into the future. The longer this war goes on, | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
the harder that future will be for the children, for Syria. | :17:10. | :17:19. | |
And you can watch Lyse's film, Children of Syria, | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
tonight on BBC Two at 9pm. The family of a woman who had made | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
two 999 calls for help before she was stabbed to death | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
by her boyfriend has gone to the Supreme Court to make a negligence | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
claim against two police forces. Our legal correspondent, | :17:38. | :17:38. | |
Clive Coleman, reports. In 2009, Joanna Michael was stabbed | :17:39. | :17:52. | |
to death by her former boyfriend Cyron Williams. There had been a | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
history of domestic violence reported to police. On the day she | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
died, she called 999 and told the operator Williams had threatened to | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
kill her. The information was downgraded and by the time the | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
police arrived at her home, Joanna was dead. In 2010, the Independent | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
Police Complaints Commission found Joanna was failed by Gwent Police, | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
South Wales Police and the 999 system itself. Every fortnight in | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
England and Wales, three women are killed by their currently the macro | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
ex-partner. Every 30 seconds, the police get a call on domestic | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
violence. Today at the highest court in the land in what could be a | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
ground-breaking development, Joanna Michael 's's family are challenging | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
a long established legal principle that grants the police immunity in | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
claims brought against them for negligence. The family are supported | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
in their challenge by groups campaigning against domestic | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
violence. We want to see a strong police response to victims of | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
domestic violence. We believe the immunity from negligence claims | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
should be abolished. The courts have traditionally taken the view that | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
police immunity is any public interest and if they were liable to | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
claims, it would lead to defensive policing practices. The Supreme | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
Court will decide if that view now needs to be changed. | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
Clive Coleman, reports. It was a thrilling weekend at the | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
Commonwealth Games in Glasgow with the home nations lighting up the | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
medals table. It's been particularly special for 13-year-old swimmer | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
Erraid Davies, Scotland's youngest ever Commonwealth competitor, who | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
won a bronze medal. Today marks day five with a total of 27 | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
gold medals up for grabs across 12 sports. Jane Hill is at | :19:41. | :19:41. | |
Hampden Park for us. Thank you very much. This morning we | :19:42. | :19:51. | |
have been treated to more fantastic finishes for our home nations in the | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
stadium and elsewhere. Our sports correspondent has all of the | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
details. You can keep your raucous crowds. In | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
the bowls this morning, a more sedate pace. For Northern Ireland, | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
gold at stake and things were heating up on the greens. The | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
skipper won Commonwealth gold 16 years ago. But as the sun broke | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
through the early morning haze, South Africa raced into the lead and | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
Northern Ireland were left feeling loo. I reckon he is on the sick! The | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
gap proved too commanding. Final score was 19-10 to South Africa who | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
retain the triple Commonwealth crown. Not the end Northern Ireland | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
were hoping for. It was their first silverware of the games. In this | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
match between Wales and Australia, things are rather close. In a tight | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
match that thrilled spectators, Wales eventually won 16-13 to get | :20:56. | :21:04. | |
bronze. The stadium was filling up. Wales had big hopes in the discus. | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
Aled Davies said he wanted to deliver a performance the country | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
could be proud of. His big rival did not get the memo. England's Thrower | :21:17. | :21:32. | |
got the gold. I was born during the Brisbane games in 1982. My parents | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
said they were watching during my mother's labour. You can only keep | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
trying to excel and I think I have done that. The athletics might be | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
missing nicknames in some events but not any 400m. The Olympic champion | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
is one of the fastest men of all time over this distance and he | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
barely had to break site with a seemingly effortless glide to the | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
finish line before the semis tomorrow. | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
As you suggested, overnight, 13-year-old Erraid Davies from | :22:12. | :22:13. | |
Shetland has become the nation's sweetheart. After taking bronze in | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
the Para-sport 100m brushstroke, our Scotland correspondent Lorna Gordon | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
has more. She is Scotland's youngest ever Commonwealth Games competitor. | :22:28. | :22:37. | |
Now the youngest ever medallist too. Erraid Davies, the schoolgirl from | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
Shetland, wowed the country with her achievement in the pool. Success for | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
the teenager who started swimming when she was just four to help with | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
a problem with her hurts. The morning after the night before and | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
the newest star is having to get used to quite a bit of attention. I | :22:58. | :23:08. | |
was really scared in the heat. I knew there was only seven of us in | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
the event so I knew there was a chance, but I did not expect it. | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
What does it mean, this incredible achievement of getting a medal and | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
represented Scotland? Really happy and excited. The 13-year-old carried | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
the pattern on Shetland. At the modest pool where she trains, people | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
were proud. Says we might be a small community but we can do everything | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
everybody else can so it is great. Erraid Davies is a swimming | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
sensation. She has spent all morning doing interviews and there is | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
considerable media interest in what she has achieved. There is joy for | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
her parents here supporting their daughter in her new-found success. I | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
was crying. Shouting and crying at the same time. It was amazing. She | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
has worked at it as well as having talent. I do not think we will have | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
any problems keeping her feet on the ground. Erraid Davies says she is | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
not sure what the future holds. She is now supporting the rest of Team | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
Scotland before heading back to school in a few weeks time. | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
With me watching all of the fabulous events, Darren Campbell. Olympic | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
gold medallist. Hello. You have competed at a home Commonwealth | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
Games of course, Manchester. Is it a really special atmosphere as an | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
athlete? Very special. You can tell by the performances of the Scottish | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
athletes how much it means to them. That is the most passionate and | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
exciting thing about this Commonwealth Games. It started in | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
the pool and we watched the Scottish athletes swim their hearts out. It | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
means so much to the athletes, but it means so much to the people of | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
Scotland. Lots of people talking about the 100m final tonight. You | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
have competed in that. Who should we be looking out for? Yesterday gave | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
us good guidance of what will happen. The weather was so cold. It | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
has changed. It is a little bit warmer. We have to watch out for the | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
Caribbean athletes because they will perform. Adam Gemili is the English | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
hope. I think he will make the final. It is whether he can get on | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
the podium and beat the likes of Richard Thompson, the favourite. He | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
will be the one to beat. Quick thought about Glasgow, Howard has | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
performed. This is a morning weekday session and it was packed out. It | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
means so much to the people of Scotland and two Glaswegians. You | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
can see that they have turned out in force. They have cheered every | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
single nation, even the endless. That is the most perhaps surprising | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
thing of this whole Commonwealth Games. They have even given support | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
to the endless. By the end of the Games, that will be the thing that | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
will be remembered the most, they cheered everyone and showed the same | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
passion for every sports person who has turned up. Pleasure to have you | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
with us. We will let you go and enjoy another exciting day. Thank | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
you. That is all from Glasgow for now. | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
Hampden Park for us. England's batsmen have been piling | :26:27. | :26:28. | |
on the runs against India on the second day of the third Test | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
at Southampton. Our sports correspondent, | :26:36. | :26:36. | |
Joe Wilson, reports. Alastair Cook's burden would have | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
felt a tonne writer in Southampton on Monday. He was out but he had | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
made a contribution, his 95 safely stored in England's total. Next | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
batsman in need of a revival, Ian Bell. His stunning summer of 2013 | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
had started to feel distant. There are fours and Ian Bell fours. | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
Elegance and balance. Ballance was batting at the other end. Building | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
on the century he built on Sunday. Gary Ballance has taken to Test | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
cricket as if born to play it. In Zimbabwe. 34s in an over. If the | :27:17. | :27:24. | |
first day had been about the captain's redemption, now this was | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
team expectations, a long time since England had dominated a match. When | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
Bell bats like this, it makes you wonder why he does not score 100 | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
every innings. Gary Ballance almost ours. Easy. England past 300 with | :27:40. | :27:46. | |
just two wickets down. Bell's 50 featured his full array of shots. | :27:47. | :27:49. | |
All just a question of timing. Box ticked. Six. Ballance was out. The | :27:50. | :27:58. | |
umpire David. The replay revealed the ball hit his leg. He can be | :27:59. | :28:04. | |
philosophical when he has made 156. All England's batsman will be | :28:05. | :28:07. | |
fighting down the stairs to get their chance. | :28:08. | :28:14. | |
Joe Wilson, reports. Time for a look at the weather... | :28:15. | :28:16. | |
Here's Stav Danaos. A very stormy start. Pretty | :28:17. | :28:23. | |
torrential thunderstorms around. Flash flooding. | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
This is the radar picture. Starting off across Essex and East Anglia. | :28:29. | :28:37. | |
Really intense thunderstorms from South Buckinghamshire through Surrey | :28:38. | :28:39. | |
into the Sussex area producing phenomenal amounts of rain. Hail and | :28:40. | :28:47. | |
lightning as well. This is the hourly rainfall totals in a | :28:48. | :28:50. | |
selection of places. Nearly two inches of rain in Essex in one hour. | :28:51. | :28:58. | |
You can see why there was so much flooding. For the rest of the | :28:59. | :29:03. | |
afternoon, still a risk of heavy showers across the south-east. Just | :29:04. | :29:08. | |
the west of London, some could be on the sharp side. Take care if you are | :29:09. | :29:13. | |
heading out on the roads. Treacherous driving conditions in | :29:14. | :29:16. | |
the sharp showers. Further west, it is largely drier with good spells of | :29:17. | :29:22. | |
sunshine. Not quite as warm as yesterday. There could still be the | :29:23. | :29:28. | |
odd heavy shower around. In the south-west and for Wales. Maybe over | :29:29. | :29:32. | |
the Pennines as well. The good-looking day for Northern | :29:33. | :29:35. | |
England, Northern Ireland and Scotland. After yesterday's rein in | :29:36. | :29:39. | |
Glasgow, we are looking at sunny spells and light winds. That is how | :29:40. | :29:45. | |
it is looking for Monday. Tuesday, strengthening westerly wind and it | :29:46. | :29:48. | |
will feel cool and fresh with outbreaks of rain. This evening, we | :29:49. | :29:54. | |
start to lose the showers from the south-east. Some could still be | :29:55. | :29:58. | |
heavy in the evening. Eventually they will retreat towards the | :29:59. | :30:00. | |
extreme south-east. In the north-west corner of the country, | :30:01. | :30:03. | |
strengthening winds with outbreaks of rain. In between, drier weather | :30:04. | :30:12. | |
for the overnight period. Not cold. Fresh in rural spots. Tuesday, we | :30:13. | :30:16. | |
lose the showers from the south-east eventually. Sunshine is in abundance | :30:17. | :30:20. | |
for much of England and Wales. Across the north-west corner of the | :30:21. | :30:22. | |
country, strengthening winds bringing in more cloud. As a result, | :30:23. | :30:29. | |
cooler and fresher in the north-west corner. Lovely and warm across | :30:30. | :30:32. | |
Central and southeastern areas. Quite hot. Reaching 27 in London. | :30:33. | :30:38. | |
Wednesday, looks like the northern half of the UK will be more | :30:39. | :30:42. | |
unsettled. Stronger westerly winds. In the south, still holding onto the | :30:43. | :30:49. | |
sunshine. Beyond settles claim sticks with us towards the latter | :30:50. | :30:52. | |
part of the week. -- the unsettled theme. Is that the end of summer? | :30:53. | :30:57. | |
Definitely not. The bidding process is open for new | :30:58. | :31:09. | |
licences to extract shale gas using fracking. That is all from | :31:10. | :31:10. |
