and welcome to the BBC News at One. The Home Secretary, Theresa May, | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
says a future Tory government would impose tighter restrictions | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
on people with extremist views. She told the Conservative conference | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
in Birmingham that the proposals would include giving | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
the police new powers to ban individuals from speaking at public | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
events or attending rallies. But | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
the new strategy has been criticised The former shadow home secretary, | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
David Davis, said he believed the measures would have "real trouble" | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
getting through Parliament Here's our political correspondent, | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
Carole Walker. Security measures have become | :02:31. | :02:44. | |
routine at conferences like this. The government's terror threat | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
remains severe. But the Conservatives want to tackle | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
extremist ideology which can ultimately lead to violence. This | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
morning, the Prime Minister defended plans for new powers which he said | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
would put the security and safety of the public first. The problem we | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
have had is this distinction of saying we will only go after you if | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
you are an extremist that directly supports violence, which has left | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
the field open for a lot of extremists who know how to be | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
careful not to step over the line. But frankly, these are people who | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
have radicalised young minds, poisoned them and lead to people | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
heading off to Syria or Iraq to take part in this ghastly slaughter. In | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
her conference speech, the Home Secretary said a future Conservative | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
government would bring in far reaching measures to tackle groups | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
and individuals who spread hatred as part of a new counter extremism | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
strategy. It will aim to undermine and eliminate extremism in all its | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
forms. Neo-Nazis and other forms of extremism, as well as Islamist | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
extremism. And it will aim to build up society, to identify extremism, | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
confront it, challenge it and defeat it. She said the new strategy for | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
tackling extremism would include banning orders for extremist groups. | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
If the Home Secretary has a reasonable belief that an | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
organisation has activities that spread, insight, promote or justify | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
hatred, membership will become a criminal offence. Extremist | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
disruption orders would be introduced for individuals deemed to | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
be spreading hatred. They could be banned from speaking at public | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
events, banned from broadcasting or face restrictions on their use of | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
social media. The Home Secretary is making it clear that a future | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
Conservative government would go much further than the coalition in | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
taking on those who peddle extremist views. But some Tory MPs are | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
concerned that some of the sweeping powers could undermine civil | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
liberties and freedom of speech. These are quite incredible powers to | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
limit democratic rights, rights that people have had for 200 years in | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
this country. And they are based on the Home Secretary having a | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
reasonable belief. That is the test, not evidence. A reasonable belief | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
that an organisation will break certain criteria. The Home Secretary | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
also said the Tories would revive plans which were torpedoed the | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
Liberal Democrat to give the police and intelligence services access to | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
internet communications data. But she could face a tough battle to put | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
her plans into action. Carole Walker, BBC News, Birmingham. Let's | :05:25. | :05:34. | |
speak to our political correspondent. Tough talk from the | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
Home Secretary. How has gone down? Music to be is of the | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
Conservatives. They love the sort of tough, uncompromising, no-nonsense | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
security speech they got from Theresa May. They loved her language | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
- I will not flinch, I will stand up to terrorism. The question is, | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
though, how will it go down outside the hall? There, it got a far more | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
muted reaction, with many Tories uneasy at the sort of powers Theresa | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
May is seeking. These are powers which will not be focused on | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
terrorists or those convicted of anything, but will be focused on | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
people who espouse views which are anti-democratic or insight people | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
towards racial discrimination or hatred. There is a clear concern | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
that Mrs May may struggle to get this through Parliament. This | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
follows the huge controversy we had yesterday, when George Osborne | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
outlined his plans for further curbs on working age benefits. | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
Considerable criticisms from welfare groups, charities and the Liberal | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
Democrats. A short time ago, my colleague Nick Robinson asked the | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
Prime Minister why he was pressing ahead with this two-year freeze on | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
working age benefits. We have identified here, at this | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
conference, that if you freeze those working age benefits for two years, | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
that will save ?3 billion. I think there is | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
a good justification for it, which is that if you take the years | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
from 2007-2017, it will mean benefits are not growing faster than | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
earnings, which is basic fairness. But isn't that something a | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
policymaker would say and no family As someone tries to afford the food | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
bill or the gas bill, they are not looking at a graph of how benefits | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
have gone up compared with earnings. They are saying, | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
we can't afford school uniform. I will tell you how we | :07:22. | :07:22. | |
will help those families. You can earn ?10,500 | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
before you start paying tax. We have frozen, for many households, | :07:28. | :07:37. | |
their council tax, which is a big bill people pay | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
out of their post-tax income. So where we can help, we are helping | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
every family in this country. But on the other hand, you find | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
money to cut the tax for people who inherit pensions, you cut the price | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
of buying a house, you cut the tax bill of millionaires, and then you | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
say to hard-working families, I'm terribly sorry, | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
you're going to have to lose. You will have to not have your tax | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
credits keep up with inflation. Because we have also made sure the | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
rich have paid their share. We have raised stamp duty | :08:04. | :08:21. | |
on expensive homes. Yesterday, | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
we announced to companies who come to Britain, we | :08:26. | :08:36. | |
have said a 20% corporation tax The worst thing that could happen | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
for Britain's families is to ignore It is a drag anchor on our economy | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
and we have to deal with that. I think families in Britain | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
understand that. It is a big statement of intent on | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
curbing benefits and another big statement of intent on security. | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
Both will of course delight natural Conservative supporters. We also had | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
an announcement in Lahore earlier from Chris Grayling, the Justice | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
Secretary, about getting rid of Xbox is an play stations from young | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
offenders' institutions. To me, it all seems designed to galvanise the | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
party faithful. There is a curious symmetry between the two main | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
parties. Last week, we had Ed Miliband tried to fire up the Labour | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
Party faithful with his big pledges on the NHS. This week, we have the | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
Conservative Party, it seems to me, trying to fire up their party | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
faithful with those big announcements on benefits and | :09:32. | :09:32. | |
security. David Cameron's also promised that | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
by 2020 people will be able to see their GPs at a time that suits | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
them, with surgeries open longer Earlier this year, a pilot scheme | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
in 20 areas allowed hundreds of surgeries to stay open all | :09:43. | :09:51. | |
week and the government now wants But the body that represents GPs, | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
the BMA, says doctors are already under "extreme pressure" | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
and that the government is offering "promises tomorrow rather | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
than solutions today". Here's our health correspondent, | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
Dominic Hughes. The aim is more flexible opening | :10:06. | :10:06. | |
hours at GPs' surgeries to fit in with patient hi family | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
and work life. The government has already set out | :10:10. | :10:19. | |
plans to try to achieve that Now it wants to extend the policy, | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
with the goal a few years from now We do need to recognise in the NHS | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
that expectations have changed. People don't always want to have to | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
take time off work to see their GP. They want to sort out problems | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
at the weekends as well. A ?50 million fund which started | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
in April this year was available to of technology and collaboration to | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
allow weekend opening. 100 million is now being committed | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
for next year, and the Conservatives say that if re-elected, | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
there would be more money to allow seven day a week access for all | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
patients across England by 2020. But with the population growing, | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
along with the needs of elderly patients, doctors' representatives | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
have warned of unacceptable pressure and the possibility | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
of a recruitment crisis. They say that under this government, | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
the percentage of the health budget They claim today's announcement | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
doesn't address the central We have large numbers of patients | :11:12. | :11:21. | |
moving out of hospital and into the community, so we need to address | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
the current pressures and the fact that we are not able to provide | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
as accessible a service as we would like, before talking | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
about what we believe are currently Ministers have also announced today | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
that every patient in England will have a named GP | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
accountable for their care. But Labour, which has a policy | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
of guaranteeing a wait of no more than 48 hours for an | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
appointment, said that despite this government's pledges, it had become | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
harder to get to see a doctor. And Hugh is with me now. There is a | :11:47. | :11:58. | |
feeling that we have heard this before. What is new? A year ago, the | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
Prime Minister, at the Conservative Party conference, made this pledge | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
that we have heard more about today, that he wanted to extend GP access | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
so that people could get in, seven days a week. He set up this ?50 | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
million fund. There have been questions over whether in some of | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
the pilot areas, it has made much of a difference. Now he is extending it | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
and says that if re-elected, he wants it to go through to 2020. A | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
new element is that he wants every patient to have a named GP. That was | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
previously available for over 75s. This is an aspiration for next year | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
and beyond. But what difference will it make? Du patients want it, or | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
would they rather that they can see a GP within a couple of days rather | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
than having access over the whole week? Will GP within a couple of | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
days rather than having access over the whole week? Will GPs be able to | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
me, if we are working weekends more, we will need days off during the | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
week. So is the whole system going to get stretched? The British | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
Medical Association, who protect the interests of GPs, say it does not | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
address the fundamental pressures of rising population and increased | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
workload. They say there is a recruitment crisis. New GPs are not | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
just available to take the workload. They need to be trained. People | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
don't want to do the job any more, and there is a funding problem not | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
addressed by this announcement. Police in Essex have revealed that a | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
deputy headteacher in Southend who was found dead earlier this month | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
had been secretly filming young boys in the school changing room and that | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
a local swimming pool. It is thought that Martin Goldberg killed himself | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
after being questioned over allegations of possessing indecent | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
images of teenage boys. Let's speak to our correspondent, who is in | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
Southend. What is known about this man? At the | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
school today, there was a real sense of betrayal. I can't believe that a | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
pillar and dedicated teacher, who was the deputy head and a maths | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
teacher, could have been taking these in -- indecent images. The | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
headteacher said Mr Goldberg must have been leading a double life, | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
because he is so shocked by what has come out. Three weeks ago, the | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
police had some information and went to his house and asked to see his | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
computer. The next day, Mr Goldberg was found dead. It is believed he | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
killed himself. Police then found more than 600 indecent images. It is | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
believed he took a camera hidden in his bag into the changing rooms at | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
the school and into the changing rooms at a local swimming pool, and | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
took pictures of boys around nine to 12 years of age. This has | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
potentially been going on for 14 years. What is particularly shocking | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
is that the police and crime commission is saying that Essex | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
Police knew about this for nine-month. They knew there was | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
information from Toronto that Mr Goldberg should be investigated for | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
being involved with indecent films. It is not act on that for nine | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
months, so there are serious questions for Essex Police about | :15:07. | :15:07. | |
their investigation. Police fear a 15-year-old girl | :15:08. | :15:17. | |
missing from her home in Bristol may be trying to reach Syria to join | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
jihadists fighters. They have warned that naive Muslims are being tricked | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
into joining extremist groups. What do we know about this disappearance? | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
All morning, visitors have been turning up at the family home in the | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
eastern area of central Bristol to offer support to the family of this | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
teenage girl. They've told me they are shocked by this news, they've | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
described the 15-year-old as talented, bright, outgoing, they say | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
she comes from a large and loving family, and they are shocked at the | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
speculation that she might have gone to Syria to join Islamic State. It | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
is understood her parents went to pick her up from school on | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
Wednesday, she was not there, they alerted the police. They suspect she | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
may have gone to London, met up with an older girl, got on a plane at | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
Heathrow then flown to Turkey with the aim of getting to Syria. The | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
constable has said there are indications this girl may have been | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
radicalised, but the family said a few moments ago there are no | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
indications that is the case at the moment. In regards to her family, | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
she is an intelligent, beautiful young lady who is missed by her | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
family and that is all that matters at the moment. The family are | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
appealing for privacy at the moment. Meanwhile, the police have said | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
there priority is to find this 15-year-old before she crosses the | :16:52. | :17:00. | |
border into Syria. The family statement goes on to say, we miss | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
you very much, you are not in trouble. The message is, we want you | :17:06. | :17:15. | |
to be safe, please come home. Pro-democracy activist in Hong Kong | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
have set a deadline of tomorrow for the government to meet their demands | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
of free and fair elections. Wednesday is a bank holiday and many | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
more protesters are expected to take to the streets of Hong Kong. | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
Thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators are here once again in | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
the heart of Hong Kong's financial district. China has called on them | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
to leave this street but as you can see they are not listening. They say | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
they will stay here until Beijing allows any candidate to stand in | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
elections for Hong Kong's chief executive. We are here at one of the | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
supply tents, where there are red, bananas, supply -- gas masks. Do | :18:02. | :18:11. | |
people think Beijing will respond? I don't think they will listen because | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
if they change their mind it will put them in a difficult decision of | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
facing the problem of China, because maybe the people in China will think | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
that they can copy the case in Hong Kong and then we'll be out of | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
control. I think the normal practice of using force is not listening to | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
the people but it is the right of people here to express what they | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
want. I don't what the result will be. There is a real air of defiance | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
in Hong Kong but some people here think the protesters are pushing | :18:50. | :18:53. | |

continue the risk throwing Hong Kong into chaos. -- they risk. The top | :18:57. | :19:07. | |
story: The Home Secretary has set out a range of new measures to curb | :19:08. | :19:15. | |
the activity of extremist. And here at Kew Gardens, the experts give a | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
warm welcome to the driest September on record with a promise of | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
spectacular autumn colour. On BBC London, the Memorial Garden opening | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
on the site of a pub bombed during the Blitz. Chelsea look for their | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
first European victory of the season. | :19:34. | :19:43. | |
Too much sugary food and drink means as many as one | :19:44. | :19:45. | |
in eight toddlers in England are suffering from tooth decay. | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
The first ever survey of 50,000 children found that on average they | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
had three teeth missing, decayed, or filled by the time they were | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
But dentists say the solution is simple: | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
less sugary food and drink - and more brushing with flouride | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
Here's our health correspondent, Dominic Hughes. | :20:03. | :20:14. | |
The introduction of fluoride toothpaste has seen a dramatic | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
improvement in the health of our teeth. But still, some children are | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
suffering from tooth decay. By the time she turned four, Marion's teeth | :20:26. | :20:35. | |
were already damaged. She did not like brushing her teeth and her dad | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
said they should have insisted on it. We only have ourselves to blame. | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
We gave in and we should have said you need to. Now they have learned | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
the lesson the hard way. My advice would be not to give in to the | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
child, keep them brushing and keep your diet good because otherwise it | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
will lead to more problems. Dentists say the consequences of tooth decay | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
can be traumatic. On Tuesday I spent three hours in general anaesthetic | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
theatre. We had ten patients. On average I took out seven baby teeth | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
out of each child. Public Health England has looked at the dental | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
health of more than 50,003 -year-olds across England. Nearly | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
one in eight suffered from visible tooth decay. Those affected had | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
three decayed teeth on average. There was a big variation across | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
England. The cause is simple. Too much sugar in food and too many | :21:37. | :21:45. | |
sugary drinks. We need to reduce the amount of sugar. There is sugar in | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
soft drinks, sweets, that is where they are getting it from. We need | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
parents and grandparents to try to reduce sugar. Catching tooth decay | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
early can prevent serious problems in adult life. The reason this | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
report matters is dentists point out tooth decay is the most common | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
reason for children to be admitted to hospital, and yet this is an | :22:09. | :22:16. | |
almost entirely preventable disease. The advice is that cutting down on | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
sugar, proper brushing and a regular dental checkups which are free for | :22:23. | :22:23. | |
children can make a big difference. The UK economy grew more quickly in | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
the second quarter of this year than They've revised the numbers | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
for Britain's gross domestic product - that's the total amount | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
of goods and services produced in the UK - and found that it grew | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
by 0.9% from April to June. Changes to the way GDP is calculated | :22:37. | :22:52. | |
means the economy is now bigger and has grown faster than previously | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
thought. To bring the UK into line with other European countries, | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
activity previously excluded is now counted. There are some eye-catching | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
additions, including prostitution and drug dealing as well as some | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
more significant ones, such as the money companies spend on research | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
and development. However, although the economy is bigger, so is the | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
national debt under the new methods. Into the calculation come, for | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
example, network rail debt, and Royal Mail pension guarantees, big | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
additions to the overall debt pile. That growing pile is a problem. It | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
now represents 79% of national income. Despite the better economic | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
news, the public finances actually look worse. To bring it down, | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
spending will need to be cut, taxes raised, or a combination of both. | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
Yesterday, George Osborne said the national debt was dangerously high. | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
Today, it looks even higher. Profits at the controversial payday | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
lender Wonga have fallen The company has announced that | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
in the year to the end of December Payday lenders have been criticised | :23:55. | :24:14. | |
recently for the high range -- high rates of interest charged on some | :24:15. | :24:16. | |
loans. Rescue teams in Japan have again had | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
to abandon attempts to recover the bodies of hikers who died | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
when a volcano erupted on Saturday - because of fears | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
of further eruptions. Our correspondent, | :24:27. | :24:27. | |
Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, is near Mount Ontake, | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
and has been speaking to someone who survived the wall of ash that killed | :24:30. | :24:31. | |
dozens of people at the weekend. This is a mountain guide. On | :24:32. | :24:39. | |
Saturday she was claiming alone, scouting a new route up Japan's | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
second highest volcano. She shows me the point where she was standing | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
right near the summit when Mount Ord Taki -- mount on Taki suddenly | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
exploded without warning. It of a lot day. Suddenly I heard a noise. I | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
looked back and I saw tonnes of ashes and rocks in the air. I | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
crouched down. The smell of sulphur was very strong and I could not | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
breathe. Then I saw lots of rock flying. I thought I was going to | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
die. I thought I was going to be trapped in the gas and directly on | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
the spot. I thought to myself, why did I here today? -- why did I come | :25:21. | :25:29. | |
here. She jammed herself into a hole in the rocks, head there for an hour | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
as the mountain exploded meters away. -- hiding there. I was hiding | :25:33. | :25:43. | |
beneath the rock. Sometimes I could see, then suddenly it would go | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
completely black. There were three big eruptions. The last was the | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
biggest. That was when I saw a rock the size of a small car, and others | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
the size of washing machines flying by. I could hear the noise of the | :25:57. | :26:06. | |
rocks flying by. After one hour, the eruptions died down. She took a | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
chance and ran for it, claiming down as fast as she could go. She knew | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
there were many others back up there on the mountaintop. I wonder about | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
those people I saw hanging around on the peak. People who were taking | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
pictures and enjoying the view. It was a really beautiful day. People | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
were having a great time. There was a lot of laughing, people were | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
happy. Now I wonder what happened to them. I ask her if this. Going back | :26:36. | :26:45. | |
to the mountains. She says she has already been and will go again | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
tomorrow. The mountains are her life. | :26:49. | :26:56. | |
At the beginning of the year we were telling you last | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
Well, we're now at the end of a month which is likely to go down | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
Meteorologists say the UK as a whole saw less than an inch of rain - | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
and it's been one of the warmest Septembers since records began. | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
Our correspondent, Sangita Myskar, is at Kew Gardens | :27:13. | :27:14. | |
Just to give you some context, this September we've had about 20% of the | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
rainfall we would expect in September, but the horticultural | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
experts were saying do not worry, because mother nature is taking care | :27:25. | :27:31. | |
of the plans. Bejewelled tree tops, plump fruit, and the perfect | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
conditions for those of them jobs means here at Kew Gardens the driest | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
September since records began is proving a treat. It is nature's | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
showground and it will be spectacular this year. I've noticed | :27:46. | :27:48. | |
the fruit in trees, the route in plans, they are bearing fruit better | :27:49. | :27:54. | |
than ever. It will be a good season for autumn colour. Would I be right | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
in thinking it might be the driest September on record but keep calm | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
and keep gardening? Don't panic, nature is great, it will work out in | :28:05. | :28:10. | |
the end. Not since 1959 has the UK experienced the September like it. | :28:11. | :28:14. | |
Back then, sunbathers ran out to catch a late tan. This year, the | :28:15. | :28:22. | |
country is far from parched. Heavy rainfall in January left fields | :28:23. | :28:24. | |
flooded and brought misery to landowners. Then sporadic bursts of | :28:25. | :28:30. | |
rain until August made it the wettest eight months on record. | :28:31. | :28:38. | |
September has been abnormally dry. As we head towards the weekend, | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
temperatures will recover closer to average and what we normally expect | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
for the time of year. Probably will be needing those winter coats | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
especially if you live in Scotland. For now, BBC viewers across the UK | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
are capturing the first images of what promises to be a spectacular | :28:56. | :29:04. | |
autumn. The other question for a nation of Gardners is whether to | :29:05. | :29:07. | |
expect a hosepipe ban. According to the Environment Agency there as now | :29:08. | :29:12. | |
plan at the moment because of that rain we had earlier in the year. -- | :29:13. | :29:17. | |
there is not a plan. Let's find out what is in store for the rest of us. | :29:18. | :29:22. | |
Some will still be hoping for a bit of rain but be careful what you wish | :29:23. | :29:26. | |
for because not 1 million miles away we are seeing record rainfall at | :29:27. | :29:32. | |
Montpellier. Around half a year's worth fell in three or four hours. | :29:33. | :29:39. | |
The clouds responsible for that has been pushing overhead but where is | :29:40. | :29:44. | |
our art? It is waiting in the wings off Greenland. There will be a bit | :29:45. | :29:49. | |
more in the way of rain. Even this afternoon we could have some more | :29:50. | :29:52. | |
rain around in the UK, particularly the next few hours in Northern | :29:53. | :30:00. | |
Ireland. It will push in in the evening. There is some good sunny | :30:01. | :30:06. | |
spells to come. Cloudy in north-west England. The cloud could thicken up | :30:07. | :30:11. | |
sufficiently to see some wet weather in Cornwall. Mostly dry and warm. | :30:12. | :30:15. | |
Temperatures about where they should be. The exception is England, across | :30:16. | :30:22. | |
parts of Kent and is. Some passing showers. -- Kent and Essex. In the | :30:23. | :30:30. | |
West, if you want rain I cannot promise it because look at how it | :30:31. | :30:34. | |
fragments as it heads eastwards. We do see some more wet weather in | :30:35. | :30:41. | |
Scotland later. A dry night, fairly mild, with some fork taking us into | :30:42. | :30:52. | |
the morning. Lovely, autumnal afternoon in store on Wednesday, | :30:53. | :30:56. | |
called but dry. There will be closed compared with today. There will be | :30:57. | :31:05. | |
some splashes of rain. Still lifting temperatures into the low 20s. | :31:06. | :31:08. | |
Turning Calder across the North. That signals the start of a chilly | :31:09. | :31:16. | |
night. Other than some splashes of rain in England and Wales it will be | :31:17. | :31:22. | |
dry and bright. Change will come towards the north-west, | :31:23. | :31:24. | |
strengthening wind touching gale force, heavy rain working in, | :31:25. | :31:29. | |
through Friday night it will push across England and Wales. That will | :31:30. | :31:34. | |
open the door to what we can call bottom. Expect temperatures to drop | :31:35. | :31:42. | |
away -- autumn. We will see some windy weather and some wet weather | :31:43. | :31:47. | |
as well. There will still be some sunshine. The top story this lunch | :31:48. | :31:54. | |
