Sir Cliff Richard's Berkshire home is being searched by police | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
in connection with an allegation of a sexual nature. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
A search warrant was granted, after an allegation dating back to | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
the 1980s, involving a boy who was under 16 at the time. | :00:22. | :00:28. | |

Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. | :01:14. | :01:26. | |
In the last few minutes, it's been revealed Sir Cliff Richard's home | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
in Berkshire is being searched by police, in connection with | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
The allegation dates back to the 1980s and involves a boy who was | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
Our correspondent David Sillito has more. | :01:38. | :01:48. | |
A small convoy of an unmarked police cars arrived mid-morning, and headed | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
through security at the complex of apartments near Sunningdale. From | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
the air, though, the cars could be seen as they parked, and as the | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
police team made its way towards the empty apartment owned by Sir Cliff | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Richard. The officers are from South Yorkshire, and the investigation is | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
linked to an alleged incident that took place in the county in the | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
1980s. As the search began, police in South Yorkshire made a statement. | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
Today, I can confirm South Yorkshire Police have gained entry into a | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
property in the Sunningdale area of Berkshire. Officers are currently | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
searching the property. A search warrant has been granted after the | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
police received an allegation relating to a sexual nature, the | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
allegation relates to a young boy, under the age of 16. The owner of | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
the property is not present. Thank you. Cliff Richard is at the moment | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
believe to be in Portugal. He was interviewed there this week by a | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
radio station. The singer, one of Britain's most accessible | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
performers, has so far made no comment about today's police | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
operation. Back in Berkshire, the police are, at the moment, | :03:02. | :03:02. | |
continuing the search. Dan Johnson is outside Sir Cliff's | :03:03. | :03:11. | |
home in Sunningdale, Berkshire. This lunch time, the searches are | :03:12. | :03:26. | |
still going on. Police officers from South Yorkshire have been in this | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
gated, private estate for more than two hours now. We can't see much | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
from the road because of the level of security with the walls and gates | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
but from the helicopter pictures, we have been able to see officers, | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
specialist officers, going through the penthouse apartment which is | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
owned by Sir Cliff Richard. We understand there are eight officers | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
from South Yorkshire Police here. The allegation dates back to an | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
alleged incident that happened in South Yorkshire in the 1980s. Police | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
say they have not made any arrests. Despite our efforts, we have not got | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
any response from Cliff Richard or his presented lives. -- or his | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
representatives. America says | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
a rescue mission to help thousands of Yazidi refugees on Mount Sinjar | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
in northern Iraq is now unlikely. Reconnaissance flights found | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
fewer people stranded, and David Cameron welcomed the news, | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
but said the UK had military jets and helicopters in place to "help | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
out in the right way" if needed. British aircraft dropped more | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
supplies over the Sinjar mountain The UN says the humanitarian crisis | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
in northern Iraq created by the advance of Islamist | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
militants remains critical. Our world affairs correspondent | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
Mike Wooldridge reports. Chinook helicopters, arriving at RAF | :04:39. | :04:50. | |
Akrotiri in Cyprus last night, before being used in the | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
humanitarian operations in northern Iraq. It looks as though there could | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
be a shift of priorities. The newcomer on the ground US assessment | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
that there are fewer people still trapped on Mount Sinjar van had been | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
thought, and that they are in better conditions than expected, comes | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
after the succession of airdrops relief supplies to the Yazidis, | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
including two more British airdrops of supplies overnight. It also comes | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
after thousands of followers of the ancient religious sect have managed | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
to make their own way off the mountain. So, as David Cameron | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
visited a disaster response centre today, the US led rescue mission was | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
said to be far less likely. We have to respond to the situation as it | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
develops. We need to make sure we have good information about how | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
money people there are, how many need to leave, how well they can get | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
to a place of safety, and our plans have got to be flexible enough to | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
help those people, working with allies like the Kurds, to make sure | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
that we can help people in need. Later, Mr Cameron return to London | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
to chair a meeting of the emergency committee, Cobra, and discuss the | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
next steps in what he called a complex you manage Aryan operation. | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
-- humanitarian operation. These are among the displaced people now off | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
Mount Sinjar but still in need of help of many kinds and still | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
traumatised by the attack on their community by Islamic State fighters. | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
Anyone, any people, do not change his religion from the Yazidi, to the | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
Muslim. They will kill him. Refugees have been flocking into the | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
Muslim. They will kill him. Refugees have been flocking into town of | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
Dohuk, creating a crisis graphically described by an aid official today. | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
They are arriving without means of living was abiding. They are in dire | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
need of household items and food to continue their uncertain existence. | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
Aid officials hope there may now be fewer chaotic scenes like this, as | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
an Iraqi helicopter landed on Mount Sinjar. But a rescue operation of | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
some kind is ill not ruled out, and the talk is of flexibility, and | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
above all, keeping pace with this tragedy. | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
Our correspondent Jim Muir is in the Iraqi city of Irbil. The | :07:11. | :07:24. | |
situation not as bad as expected but still acute? Still acute, | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
challenging and fast moving and that is why the British and others, | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
certainly the Americans, are trying to keep assets in place which could | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
respond flexibly to this fast moving situation. The situation on Mount | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
Sinjar seems to be less critical than it appeared 24 hours ago. There | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
will be more airdrops but the hope is that more of the refugees, the | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
few thousand left, we are told by the Americans and others, may be | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
able to make their way out, as so many thousands have before them, | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
either into the Kurdish area of neighbouring Syria or through their | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
two Dohuk province, in North West Kurdistan. But meanwhile, the | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
potential military threat goes on. There are reports that Islamic State | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
are massing fighters on the southern edge of the Kurdish controlled | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
area, something like 75 miles north of Baghdad, for a possible attack. | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
But whether it materialises or not, people are becoming aware of the | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
Quicksilver nature, the lightning nature of these operations by | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
Islamic State. They attack, move somewhere else, attack again and | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
disappear. It is an enormous challenge. The international | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
community is scramble in to face up to it. Thank you for joining us. | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
It's the day of reckoning for teenagers waiting for A-level | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
results - and figures show a slight rise in the numbers getting | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
the top A* grade - although the overall pass rate fell | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
This year, a record number of university places | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
are on offer to students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
It's thought some could get into their chosen university, even | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
The long, nervous wait is over. In schools and colleges across England, | :08:57. | :09:13. | |
Northern Ireland and Wales, it is the usual mix of relief, joy and | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
some disappointment. I got three as and B. Better than I expected. I | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
will be studying chemistry at Queen Mary. Two geography at Queens | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
College. Very proud parents, I would imagine? Overall, it has been a | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
slight decrease in the past rate from a star-8, bite .01%. It is the | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
first robin 32 years, but it equates in a small knob, around 800. I have | :09:43. | :09:50. | |
got three stars and an A. That is pretty good. I think I'm in. There | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
has been an increase in A* grades being awarded and the shift towards | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
traditional subjects, referred to as facilitating subjects like science | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
and maths. We are seeing a savvy kind of student coming through. They | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
know what they want, what they are being asked for. We are seeing a | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
shift to the more facilitating subjects, as the universities | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
describe them. And the rise in A* grades which we think is around the | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
students strategies. It has been a busy morning for the university | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
admissions service. There are 30,000 extra university places this year | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
and it is expected that the first time, more than 500,000 places will | :10:31. | :10:40. | |
be allocated for courses this autumn. Demand is strong. | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
Universities want to recruit people, even now, after qualifications, they | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
want to recruit people through clearing. We have 30,000 courses | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
advertising vacancies. It is a really good time if you are applying | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
through clearing this year. Whether students have not done as well as | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
expected or better, because there are a record number of university | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
places on offer this year, many more will have the option to shop around | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
in what is increasingly a buyers market. Having achieved two a grades | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
and an A*. Kumar is one of many whose options have opened up. I have | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
got my firm choice but I can go higher if I want. Definitely, I | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
will. A bit of shopping around? Yes. There are still more Britons in | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
university places and some will miss out. -- more applicants than | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
university places. But they stand a better chance than ever. | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
Our education correspondent Alex Forsyth is in Bristol. | :11:33. | :11:44. | |
The phrase buyers market was used. It sounds like it is a good time to | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
chase a university place. Yes, we are in the West of England and these | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
helpers are trying to fill the couple of hundred places they have | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
got left. This institution has had over 3000 calls this morning | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
already. It seems as though this will be replicated up and down the | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
country but as you say, it is a particularly good year for students. | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
Despite the slight drop in the overall pass rate, there is a record | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
number of places on offer. That is deliberate by the government, | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
offering 30,000 more and institutions can offer as many as | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
they want to high achieving students. While some pupils may not | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
quite have got the grades they need, they could still get into | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
their first was university. Those that don't still have plenty of | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
options available through clearing operations like this. This year, | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
even some of the top universities have offered places through | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
clearing. Of course, that does not mean every student will get to study | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
what they want, where they want. But various still plenty of time for | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
them to get onto a course which they think will help their career. -- | :12:47. | :12:54. | |
there is still plenty of time. Universities need to get the places | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
filled to make sure they balance the books. | :12:57. | :12:57. | |
Israel and the Palestinians have agreed a fresh five-day ceasefire | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
in Gaza, negotiated at the end of a three-day truce. | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
The decision is intended to allow time for more substantial talks, | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
aimed at resolving the deadlock between the two sides. | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
Failing GP practices in England could be closed | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
if they don't improve, under a new inspection programme. | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
Surgeries given the bottom rating of "inadequate" will get six months | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
to resolve problems, and could then face outside intervention, through | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
But doctors' leaders say closing practices won't improve | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
Our health correspondent Jane Dreaper has more. | :13:29. | :13:39. | |
Patients use GP surgeries more than any other part of the NHS. Teams of | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
inspectors are visiting all 8000 practices in England over the next | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
18 months, looking at how well patients are treated, and whether | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
surgeries are clean and well run. Failing practices will be given six | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
months to improve or face closure. The first inspections have found a | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
few practices where care has been poor for many years. When we have | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
spoken to local people, they have raised concerns. Local GPs have | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
known the practices that have been poor. But the NHS has not done | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
anything about it. We think that is wrong. There needs to be a | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
consistent and transparent system. The new ratings the GP surgeries | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
will be published in November. Patients will be able to see how | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
their practice has scored in one of four categories. It is the first | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
time there has been an independent inspections system, designed to | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
uncover what is thought to be a small number of practices which are | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
not serving patients well. Doctors leaders admixed some surgeries are | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
struggling, but they say that sometimes this is down to funding | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
pressures, and difficulties in recruiting GPs. They want failing | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
surgeries to be given help, not blame. There will be some practices | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
that are given support without closure. But the small number that | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
do close will be given a lot of support to help them get back on | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
track quickly. It is in nobody's test interest to close general | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
practices around the country. We are short staffed enough as it is and it | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
would benefit nobody. Under the new system, inspectors will share any | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
concerns about underperforming doctors with the medical regulator. | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
The measures have been welcomed by the Patients' Association. It says | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
this scrutiny of GP care is long overdue. IS Our top story. Sir Cliff | :15:29. | :15:41. | |
Richard 's Berkshire home is being searched by police in connection | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
with an allegation of a sexual nature dating back to the 1980s. | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
Still to come, England's brilliant bowler, Moeen Ali, and his new-found | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
role model status. The first A-level students to study | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
at a free school celebrate their results today - with many | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
gaining places at top universities. And Mo Farah beats | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
the elements to take gold over 10,000 metres at the | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
European Championships in Zurich. 45 years ago the world watched | :16:04. | :16:13. | |
as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took "one small step for man, | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
one giant leap for mankind". The historic moon-landing | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
established the Americans as the leaders in the Space Race | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
against the Soviet Union. But | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
when NASA closed its space-shuttle programme, that dynamic changed and | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
the US became dependent on Russia. Now, political tensions between | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
the two countries over Ukraine is threatening the collaboration, | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
as our science correspondent The moment that marked the end of | :16:36. | :16:53. | |
the intense rivalry of the space race, in 1975 the Americans and | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
Soviets made history, docking spacecraft. With this handshake they | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
paved the way for a new time of collaboration. But today the | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
Americans do not just work with the Russians, they depend upon them. | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
This is the Discovery shuttle, it ferried astronauts to space the | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
nilly 30 years, today though it is here, in a museum. There is no | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
replacement com instead the Americans have to pay the Russians | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
for a ride in their spacecraft, at a cost of more than $60 million per | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
seat. The International Space Station has long served as a symbol | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
of unity in space. But the Russians have threatened to put a stop to | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
these space taxi rides, effectively grounding American astronauts. But | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
the Russians would also lose out. In the case of building the | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
International Space Station, America agreed to build the electronics and | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
the Power Systems and Bush agreed to build the fuel systems. We are | :17:53. | :18:02. | |
joined together. -- Russia agreed. But also the rockets which launch | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
American satellites, including the military satellites, are powered by | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
engines which are bought from Russia. In essence, America needs | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
Russian technology to spy upon Russia. But now the supply line is | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
under threat. We cannot put up the satellites reliably by ourselves | :18:23. | :18:24. | |
right now, if Russia said we're not giving you any more, we would have | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
to scramble to a replacement. For now, at least, these problems seem a | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
long way away for the cosmonauts and the astronauts currently on board | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
the space station. Their work could help to take humans to Mars or | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
beyond. I would be very sad if collaboration between Russia and the | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
United States and the collaboration between Russia and the European | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
Union would fail. Because it is against Russian interests and | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
American interests and European interests. For many years the | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
alliance in space has survived political upheavals. But if recent | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
tensions grow, the of space without Borders could be at an end. | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
Well, tensions between Russia and Ukraine are continuing. | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
Russian trucks carrying aid are heading for rebel-held eastern | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
Ukraine, despite Ukrainian officials saying they wouldn't allow them in. | :19:22. | :19:23. | |
There is continuing confusion about exactly where they're going. | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
It comes as President Putin visits Crimea, which was annexed by Russia | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
Our correspondent Daniel Sandford joins us now from Moscow. | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
Daniel, what are the risks that the argument over the convoy could make | :19:39. | :19:46. | |
the crisis worse? There are very real risks come at the heart of the | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
story are the people of the city of Luhansk, currently occupied by | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
pro-Russian forces, surrounded by forces from the Ukrainian army who | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
are shelling the suburbs of the city, people are without water and | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
electricity, the International committee for the red is our keen to | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
get aid in, to leave. -- for the Red Cross. They will need a cease-fire | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
to do that. What happened is that Russia decided to send a convoy of | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
over 200 trucks from Moscow, 1000 miles from Luhansk, the trucks are | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
now 20 miles from the Ukrainian border. They do not have the | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
permission of the Ukrainian government to enter the Ukraine, | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
they have not been verified, checked by any international organisations | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
as to what they contain. We are now in a position, if those trucks | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
crossed the border into the Ukraine, and there, the border is controlled | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
by pro-Russian gunmen, there is a risk that somebody could open fire. | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
It could obviously exacerbate the situation. Allowing Russia to come | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
further into the conflict. Or, if the trucks go up, to where the | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
Ukrainian forces are, on the outskirts of Luhansk and they are | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
blocked from entering the city, in itself this could produce very | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
serious tensions. There is a mad scramble at the moment by | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
international organisations like the Red Cross, the OSCE, to try to make | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
sure if the convoy enters, it enters with Ukrainian government | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
permission. But the Ukrainians are sending their own convoy and it does | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
not look as if they will give permission for the convoy to enter | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
the country. Thank you for joining us. | :21:29. | :21:35. | |
There's been a fourth night of protests | :21:36. | :21:37. | |
in the American state of Missouri following the death of an unarmed | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
black teenager who was shot dead by police in St Louis last Saturday. | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
Crowds defied a police order and gathered in one | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
of the city's suburbs as armoured police cars blocked off streets. | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
Crowds defied a police order and gathered in one Then shots | :21:50. | :21:51. | |
is small-town in the American midwest. -- a small time. But at | :21:52. | :21:59. | |
times last night, Ferguson, Missouri, resembled a war zone. | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
Protesters fought running battles with the police. Officers responded | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
with tear gas, stun grenades and smoke bombs. You must disperse | :22:09. | :22:19. | |
immediately! It was an instruction most demonstrators ignored, they had | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
been gathering every night since Saturday, when Michael Brown was | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
shot. The exact circumstances which led to the 18-year-old 's death are | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
still not clear. Eyewitnesses claimed the teenager had his arms | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
raised in surrender when he was shot several times by a police officer. | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
The police said there was a struggle and the officer suffered facial | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
injuries. CHANTING The protesters, who have been | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
campaigning the day as well, claimed that Mr Brown was a victim of racism | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
in a town where the population is predominantly black, and the local | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
police force almost exclusively white. They need to respect the fact | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
we are citizens in the city, they need to give as equal rights that | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
you have when you go home to your children. The police however, say | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
they are working with the community. We have always had a good | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
relationship with the neighbourhood Association, apparently there has | :23:20. | :23:21. | |
been an undertow which has bubbled to the surface. It is our first | :23:22. | :23:29. | |
priority to address that. But with more protests expected tonight, the | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
atmosphere in Ferguson, Missouri, remains tense. | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
On the day after the Bank of England upgraded forecasts for economic | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
growth here, new figures show the Eurozone's two biggest economies | :23:43. | :23:44. | |
In Germany the economy shrank by 0.2% in the three months to | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
the end of June, while the French economy saw no growth. | :23:49. | :23:56. | |
Pope Francis has arrived in South Korea for his first visit to Asia | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
At the beginning of his five-day visit, he called | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
for dialogue and reconciliation on the divided Korean peninsula. | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
He earlier sent a message of goodwill to China, raising hopes | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
of an easing of tensions between the Vatican and Beijing. | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
Tomorrow, England's cricketers could win their | :24:17. | :24:18. | |
series against India to complete a remarkable turn around in fortunes. | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
England lead 2-1 with the final test starting at the Oval. | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
This comes after one of England's worst runs in recent history. | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
With 19 wickets, and two match-winning bowling | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
performances, Moeen Ali has become the figurehead of the new-look team, | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
The Oval is the traditional finishing line, last year, dear, | :24:38. | :24:50. | |
England were winning the Ashes, 12 months later half of the team were | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
gone. Unprecedented restructuring has introduced Jos Buttler, Chris | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
Jordan, Sam Robson, all-new this summer. This man has represented the | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
revival. Moeen Ali will always stand out, I have enjoyed several | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
conversations this summer about his Muslim faith, which he expresses | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
most visibly with his beard. It is always really important. 19 wickets | :25:15. | :25:23. | |
against India, I have lost count. We are doing all right. While he | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
concentrates on his bowling, his status as a role model is widely | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
appreciated. In Birmingham, where he's from, I spoke to this man, most | :25:34. | :25:41. | |
famous for his comedy creations. He seeks to normalise British Muslim | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
identity, cricket can do the same. Is a British Muslim, as a Birmingham | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
native, I just want to be on an equal footing, we do not want to be | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
superior, inferior, we want to be on a level playing field. There is no | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
more than a level playing field than playing cricket for your country. | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
For somebody like Moeen Ali to be chosen purely because he's one of | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
the best 11 people in this country at playing cricket, it is absolutely | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
superb. Of course there are still old faces in the team, this is | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
Stuart Broad, really, after being struck by the ball in the last test | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
he was practising batting today. Though significantly he was wearing | :26:24. | :26:24. | |
a different design of helmet. It's emerged that passengers | :26:25. | :26:34. | |
on a Flybe flight suffered a bumpy landing | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
when their pilot's prosthetic arm came off, and he temporarily lost | :26:38. | :26:39. | |
control of the plane. The pilot still managed to land | :26:40. | :26:41. | |
at Belfast City Airport without The incident took place | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
in mid February, but has just been made public | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
through an air accident report. Today the winds were like in | :26:48. | :26:58. | |
Belfast, but as the plane approached the runway in the breach, there was | :26:59. | :27:05. | |
gusts of up to 56 mph. -- in February. As the plane came in to | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
land the pilot realised the clamp which attached his hand to the | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
controls had become detached. He knew he did not have enough time to | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
explain the landing information to the co-pilot so he moved his other | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
hand from the power lever onto the controls to regain control. That | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
meant the power was still on, and when the plane hit the runway, there | :27:25. | :27:31. | |
was a bump. Non-other 47 passengers were injured and the plane was not | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
damaged Asch macro non-them. There are currently only four commercial | :27:36. | :27:47. | |
pilots did use press the cis. -- press thesis. Prosthetic legs are | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
quite common, but not pathetic arms. We have to go through | :27:52. | :27:57. | |
stringent testing. We are scrutinised even more so than a | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
disabled person. We have to be ten times person to -- ten times better | :28:02. | :28:08. | |
than able-bodied people. Although the investigation Branch found | :28:09. | :28:11. | |
control was lost, it was only for a moment. The pilot told investigators | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
in future he would alert colleagues to the possibility of his arm | :28:17. | :28:22. | |
becoming detached. Flybe says it is proud to employ staff with reduced | :28:23. | :28:25. | |
physical abilities and the pilot remains one of the company 's most | :28:26. | :28:33. | |
trusted and experienced. Time for a look at the weather now. We have | :28:34. | :28:43. | |
showers, more widespread than yesterday, more angry, widespread | :28:44. | :28:48. | |
thunderstorms across southern Wales, and southern England and the South | :28:49. | :28:51. | |
Midlands. These storms we have picked up on the radar picture, some | :28:52. | :28:56. | |
heavy showers further north as well across southern Scotland, drifting | :28:57. | :28:59. | |
into northern England. Let's take a look at this afternoon 's forecast. | :29:00. | :29:04. | |
It is one of the days where you will want to keep the umbrella close. | :29:05. | :29:07. | |
Heavy showers to the south of London, we could get some in the | :29:08. | :29:11. | |
capital. Downpours across south-west England. Easing off later, but heavy | :29:12. | :29:15. | |
rain later, affecting southern Wales. In the heaviest downpours we | :29:16. | :29:21. | |
could see 20 millimetres of rainfall in one hour. Puddles on the road and | :29:22. | :29:28. | |
difficult travelling situation. Largely dry weather in Northern | :29:29. | :29:31. | |
Ireland, this is one place where the weather is finally quieting down. | :29:32. | :29:35. | |
Heading through this even in, the heavy showers we have got in | :29:36. | :29:38. | |
Scotland will drift into North East England -- this evening. The | :29:39. | :29:44. | |
temperatures will gradually drop away. Temperature wise, similar lows | :29:45. | :29:51. | |
to last night, 11-14?, but a bit cruel in rule areas. Where we have | :29:52. | :29:57. | |
more clear skies. Moving on into Friday, it is a better day, that | :29:58. | :30:03. | |
pressure will have built, which tends to kill off most of the | :30:04. | :30:05. | |
showers, there will be more sunshine. That said, some heavy | :30:06. | :30:09. | |
showers in the afternoon across the Pennines, perhaps drifting into the | :30:10. | :30:15. | |
Midlands and central and southern England and perhaps threatening | :30:16. | :30:18. | |
London later. The weekend, not looking particularly good to be | :30:19. | :30:23. | |
honest, strengthening winds, quite blustery and spells of rain. Also | :30:24. | :30:26. | |
brighter spells and probably the best of the weather will be on | :30:27. | :30:30. | |
Saturday across England and Wales. Not a bad start but it will turn | :30:31. | :30:33. | |
breezy with the cloud spreading later. The wind will get across the | :30:34. | :30:40. | |
West of the British Isles, the rain moving into Scotland, gale force | :30:41. | :30:44. | |
winds as low pressure moves in for the weekend. Looking at somewhere | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
like Aberdeen, it is 18 degrees on Saturday. When we get to Sunday and | :30:49. | :30:53. | |
the winds come from a northerly direction the temperatures will be | :30:54. | :30:58. | |
dropping away, highs of 14 degrees with outbreaks of rain and gale | :30:59. | :31:00. | |
force winds. Showers expected further south. Not the best of | :31:01. | :31:06. | |
weekends, for the moment the summer is on hold. A reminder of our top | :31:07. | :31:13. | |
story. Police investigating a historic allegation of a sexual | :31:14. | :31:17. | |
nature are searching a property owned by Sir Cliff Richard in | :31:18. | :31:22. | |
Berkshire. The allegation dates back to the 1980s, and was made to South | :31:23. | :31:28. | |
Yorkshire Police. The search warrant was granted after the police | :31:29. | :31:31. | |
received an allegation of a sexual nature dating back to the 1980s. The | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
allegation involved a young boy under the age of 16. At that time. | :31:36. | :31:42. | |
The owner of the property is not present. That is all from us. | :31:43. | :31:44. |
