A ?50 million fund for families and businesses hit by flooding | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Now the waters have receded the clear up begins but it will take | :00:10. | :00:24. | |
months. Trying to protect communities | :00:25. | :00:25. | |
from more flooding - The Chancellor promises more money | :00:26. | :00:34. | |
for flood defences. I can today announce a ?50 million | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
fund for families and small affected in the area - this will be delivered | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
by the local authorities. We'll have the latest | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
from Cumbria as more rain adds Also this lunchtime: A third | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
attacker at the Bataclan theatre in Paris is identified - | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
he was French and had travelled For the first time in six years - | :00:51. | :00:52. | |

MP calling for Donald Trump to be banned from the UK after his | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
comments about Muslims. And the volunteers going out to stop | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
drivers from idling their engines Good afternoon and welcome | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
to the BBC News at One. The chancellor George Osborne has | :01:32. | :01:54. | |
announced a ?50 million fund for families and businesses | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
affected by the flooding He also announced a further | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
?2 billion to be spent The announcement comes as people | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
living in the flood-hit areas are bracing themselves | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
for more heavy rain. This is a land defined by water, but | :02:10. | :02:23. | |
this part of Cumbria has seen more than it would like in recent days. | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
Although the consensus is that this has been the worst flooding that | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
anyone can remember, many of these communities are prepared, and know | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
exactly what to do. Even had the grandchildren working yesterday, | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
because the school was closed. The local scaffolding firm turning up, | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
that was four men. The royal oak sent somebody down. He worked we | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
hard all morning. From Appleby, we are heading west to discover yet | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
more shocking evidence of nature's strength. We were just driving along | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
the banks of the river Eden and we came across this caravan park. Just | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
have a look at the destruction which has been caused by the force of the | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
water on the other side of the bank. Those mobile homes and caravans have | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
been smashed together and smashed up against the trees, obviously, | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
completely destroyed. There are gas bottles in the water and all sorts | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
of to try to spread everywhere along the river bank. It is more akin to | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
something you would see in Tornado while in the United States, not | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
really Cumbria in the UK. This is Braithwaite near Keswick. Very few | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
homes here were lucky to escape unscathed as the waters rose | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
suddenly. They have removed hundreds of tonnes of material from this | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
channel. Came down at ten o'clock yesterday morning to be met by a | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
scene of utter devastation. I have never seen it before. Gobsmacked. | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
This is Braithwaite and are really quite extraordinary scene. You can | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
see the beck here. So much wood, so many trees have been washed down, it | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
has created a damp. Look at the river level. It is above the road. | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
That forced the water to take its own course through the village, | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
causing devastation and flooding many, many properties here. Around | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
every corner it seems, there is an insurance assessor dealing with the | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
damage. The path of destruction is so widespread. That has been the big | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
difference this time. In the 2009 floods in Cockermouth, Keswick and | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
Workington, it was those three towns which were affected. We were able to | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
pull in from all over the north of England. This time, because a mini | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
places have been hit in Cumbria, we have had to pull in people from all | :04:59. | :05:08. | |
over the UK. Many fought hard in a vain attempt. We thought we were | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
coping and then the bridge rope and it came onto the main bridge and | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
there was a tidal wave of water which came and everybody had to run | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
and get into the houses and get barricaded in. Never experienced | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
anything like that before. Continuing west on our journey | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
through the lake district, you are reminded that an area so beautiful | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
can also be so cruel. This lunchtime, the Chancellor gave | :05:36. | :05:47. | |
details about the money that will be made available for flood victims and | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
flood defences. On recovery, the question she asks about, I can today | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
announced a 50 mil in pound fund for families and businesses affected in | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
the area this will be administrated by the local authorities. When it | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
comes to rebuilding the infrastructure of Cumbria and | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
Lancashire, we are assessing now the damage to the flood defences and | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
damage to the roads and funds will be made available. One of the | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
benefits of having a strong and resilient economy is we can help | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
people in need. Chancellor George Osborne. Fiona | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
Trott is in Carlisle. It will take a long time for people to recover from | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
what happened at the weekend? That is right. Welcome to Carlisle | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
United. It could take six weeks before they could begin playing | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
football here again. Players have been helping with the clear up | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
effort. Residents have returned the favour. They have been here trying | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
to get things back to normal. Wherever you turn, whether it is | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
businesses or homes, everybody is working very hard. That announcement | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
will try and make a difference. Up to eight millimetres of rain, three | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
inches, is expected across the north-west of England today. People | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
are saying it is the last thing they need when they are trying to carry | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
on with this clean-up operation. Thank you. | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
Police in Paris have identified a third man who attacked | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
the Bataclan theatre last month killing 90 people. | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
French media have named the 23-year-old from Strasbourg | :07:29. | :07:29. | |
He is said to have travelled to Syria to fight in 2013 along | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
Well, with me is our security correspondent Gordon Corera. | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
What more do we know about him? He appears to have been identified | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
after his mother received a text, apparently from IS, the group behind | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
the attacks, after the attack in Paris, saying her son had become a | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
martyr. She then contacted the police. They took DNA samples and it | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
led to his identification. He was a 23 rolled from the Strasbourg area. | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
He had gone with a group out to Syria. Some of them came back, | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
including his brother, and they were put under arrest. He stayed out | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
there and he carried out this attack. | :08:15. | :08:29. | |
Almost all of the attackers who have been identified, a few are still | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
unidentified, have been French citizens. It looks like this was the | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
model for the attack, take people from France or Belgium and then send | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
them back to carry out this devastating attack. Thank you. | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
Fuel prices could fall to below a pound a litre before Christmas, | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
It says the average price of petrol is expected to drop | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
It comes as the oil price fell to less than 40 dollars a barrel | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
for the first time in almost seven years. | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
Our economics correspondent Andy Verity reports. | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
Rigs like the Everest platform in the North Sea don't make as much | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
money as they used to. At sea and on land, the world is drilling more | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
than a million barrels a day than it needs. That has led to a glut with | :09:09. | :09:17. | |
almost 3 billion barrels stocked up. This is driving the price of petrol | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
down. We have the Opec oil-producing countries saying they don't intend | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
to cut production. There is lower demand in countries like China who | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
are taking a large amount of fuel and now we also have Saudi Arabia | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
refining petrol and diesel. It is really flooding the market and | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
motorists are benefiting with cheaper prices at the pump. That is | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
good news. It should be a bit cheaper than that, I think. Being a | :09:39. | :09:48. | |
minicab driver, it makes a big difference. It is about time. I | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
cannot remember when it was a pound. It will be a good Christmas present. | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
Petrol prices going down to a pound a litre might seem like good news | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
for motorists but it is also a sign of something else. The world is not | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
just producing more oil than it needs, it is also burning less than | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
it needs to because of a global economic slowdown. | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
And it is not just oil. For years, China sucked in commodities like | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
iron ore for its booming construction industry. Because that | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
has slowed down, China is using less deal because it is buying less. | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
Prices have collapsed. That is devastating mining companies and | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
steel producers. Prices are likely to go on falling. My view is the | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
Chinese economic underperformance is likely to continue for a while. In | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
that environment, I would expect commodity prices to continue to | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
decline. While that economic gloom may lie behind the cheaper prices, | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
you will not see many motorists lamenting it. The average price of | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
unleaded is not as cheap as it was in February after the first big drop | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
in oil prices, but it is heading that way. | :10:58. | :11:06. | |
A petition to ban Donald Trump from entering the UK has reached 100,000 | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
signatures. Meanwhile, Mr Trump has been | :11:14. | :11:19. | |

presidential nominee, he still has a clear | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
lead in the polls. The White House says he is unfit | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
for the job and hurting America. US Secretary of | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
State John Kerry said his priority was winning support | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
for the fight against so-called What Mr Trump said, it runs contrary | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
to all that and makes our job of reaching out to people | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
and sharing the real America just that much more complicated and | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
much more difficult. That is about as diplomatic | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
as I can put it. Donald Trump is a familiar | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
face in Scotland because of his golf | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
course in Aberdeenshire. One local resident has launched | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
a petition calling for him to be It has attracted more | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
than 100,000 signatures. But many Americans are | :12:49. | :12:55. | |

way he has handled bullying allegations in the party's youth | :13:30. | :13:30. | |
wing. Lord Feldman insists he didn't | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
receive any complaints until August Let's speak to our assistant | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
political editor Norman Smith. There are renewed questions now | :13:41. | :13:50. | |
about exactly who knew what, when in the highest reaches of the | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
Conservative Party, following a claim that Lord Feldman was handed a | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
dossier detailing allegations of abuse and harassment back in 2010. | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
Lord Feldman has insisted he was wholly unaware of these claims. | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
Senior Tories have been briefing that he may never have been handed a | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
dossier. He may not have been away -- made aware of the seriousness of | :14:15. | :14:22. | |
the allegations. Number Ten have rejected the idea that he should | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
stand down while an enquiry is carried out. But one senses a | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
picture is emerging that seems to suggest the Conservative Party may | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
have been guilty at the very least of a failure in its duty of care | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
towards some of its youngest supporters, youngsters who were just | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
16 or 17. What is not clear is whether this was through simple | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
indifference or negligence, they did not want to know what was going on | :14:49. | :14:56. | |
in its youth wing, or whether they chose to turn it blind eye because | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
the youth wing was regarded as an effective campaigning organisation, | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
and they would rather not know what was going on. I am told this enquiry | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
is due to continue until March, which means there is the prospect of | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
a steady drip of damaging headlines for weeks to come. Thank you. | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
The jury in the Hatton garden jewel raid have heard that two of the men | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
who've pleaded guilty to the burglary, were also involved | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
in two of the most notorious robberies of the 1980s. | :15:22. | :15:23. | |
Daniel Sandford reports from Woolwich Crown Court. | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
The court heard the men entered the building through the fire exit, | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
heading down to an external courtyard and in through the back | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
door. They drilled into the safe deposit vault and made off with | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
around ?40 million worth of diamonds, gold and jewellery for the | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
these are some of the items recovered when the men were | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
arrested. It has been described by the prosecution is the biggest | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
burglary in English legal history. Now for the first time the jury has | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
been told about the criminal background of the men who already | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
pleaded guilty to the burglary. 75-year-old Kenny Collins was | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
committing crimes as far back as 1961. And 60 euros Daniel Jones has | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
nine criminal convictions, dating back to 1975. They heard that Ryan | :16:14. | :16:21. | |
reader, now 76, served eight years for handling some of the gold from | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
one of the most notorious crimes of the 1980s. The Brinks mat armed | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
robbery in which ?28 million worth of bullion was taken. And that Terry | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
Perkins age 67, served 22 years in prison for the security express | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
robbery over the Easter bank holiday weekend of the same year, 1983. | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
Almost 6 million in cash was taken that day. And although some | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
jewellery from the record-breaking Hatton Garden Bradbury this year has | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
been recovered, including some in a cemetery, the lives of pounds worth | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
is still missing. -- millions of pounds worth. | :17:04. | :17:05. | |

This is Homs in North West Syria - a city which - as these pictures | :17:42. | :17:54. | |
show - has seen some of the worst fighting during the country's almost | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
It was known as the cradle of Syria's revolution - | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
where some of the first protests against President Assad were held. | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
But today - under a ceasefire deal negotiated with the government | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
and backed by the UN, rebel fighters are leaving | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
the last district of Homs that was under their control. | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
It means Syria's third largest city is back in government hands | :18:17. | :18:18. | |
As the rebels leave, the first convoys of food aid | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
in nearly a year are being taken into the neighbourhoods they held. | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
From Homs, our chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet reports. | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
This is how the process is unfolding for this significant ceasefire | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
Down here you see this group of men, more than 300 fighters, | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
most of them linked to hardline groups like Al-Qaeda who want no | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
They're going to be boarding buses and will be taken under a security | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
escort north to the area of Idlib which is under rebel control. | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
Families are going with them as well, the families have already | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
moved through these areas, helped by the Syrian Arab Red Crescent | :19:04. | :19:05. | |

Desperate to get out of an area which has been besieged | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
by government forces for the last few years. | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
This is both a military agreement as well as a humanitarian one. | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
It provides relief to the community and a new agreement | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
between the opposition fighters who choose to remain | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
Some argue that this is the only way forward now in Syria. | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
But each deal has its own difficulties and dangers. | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
This one is significant for Homs, the test still is whether | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
The Liberal Democrat MP for Orkney and Shetland, | :19:51. | :19:59. | |
Alistair Carmichael, has survived a legal challenge | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
Four of his constituents had argued that he'd lied about the leaking | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
of a memo during the general election campaign - | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
but two judges ruled that the MP's behaviour wasn't in | :20:10. | :20:11. | |
Our correspondent Kevin Keane reports. | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
He may have lied to influence the election but today Alistair | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
Carmichael was cleared of raping the law. He had leaked a controversial | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
memo and then denied any involvement. Today, really. | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
I was always confident that we would win. | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
That has been the basis on which we have approached this, | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
but despite that, it has been a very difficult, | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
very stressful and very expensive few months for me and the rest | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
The light came to this channel for interview. I received a phone call | :20:44. | :20:58. | |
on Friday afternoon from a journalist making me aware of it, | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
that was the first. Last month in evidence Mr Carmichael admitted the | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
lie. Judges have now ruled that he gets fed to influence the vote but | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
crucially, the light was not about himself. Alistair Carmichael is duly | :21:10. | :21:18. | |
elected... Carmichael was the last man standing in Scotland when the | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
Liberal Democrat vote was decimated by the assembly in the general | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
election in May. And in Orkney, reaction was mixed. The man is a | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
proven liar, he admitted it himself. He did some unwise stuff. But over | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
the years he has been a good MP. Alistair Carmichael may have been | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
cleared by the court but this verdict is still very damaging for | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
him. It says that he did lie to try to influence the electorate. And in | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
just five months there will be a second verdict, as voters return to | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
the polls, this time for the Holyrood election. Mr Carmichael may | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
still have his seat in this place, but he has not come out of this | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
process unscathed. The migrant crisis in Calais | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
is putting the lives of British lorry drivers at risk and not enough | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
is being done to protect them - according to the Road | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
Haulage Association. The government says it's working | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
closely with the French authorities and a new secure zone at Calais | :22:13. | :22:15. | |

this report. A group of migrants leave the jungle | :22:19. | :22:34. | |
camp. They're heading for the train station and they plan to break into | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
lorries parked up. Where are you from? From Iraq. How long have you | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
been at the camp? Three months. Where do you want to go? England. | :22:46. | :22:54. | |
Why? It is very comfortable. A comfortable life in England M we met | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
a lorry driver across the border in Belgium. He will not park up his | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
truck in Calais after being attacked by migrants there. Times are | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
changing and we should not have to be parked on the side of the road | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
with people throwing stones and bars and sticks and getting gas. It is | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
not what you come to work for. British drivers told us there are no | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
carrying weapons like cricket bats to protect themselves. The Road | :23:19. | :23:24. | |

Government to do more to protect their drivers. Since I was here in | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
September the migrant camp has grown significantly, rockabilly in excess | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
of 6000 here now. The desperation of the migrants is clear, there is | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
insufficient police around Calais, the port of Calais, to stop them | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
getting onto trucks. Violence is increasing and we need the British | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
Government to influence the French government to put more resources in | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
and around Calais to stop these attacks, these daily attacks | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
happening against British drivers. In the jungle camp more tents are | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
being put up every day. As the temperature drops, conditions here | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
worsen, you can see I am surrounded by piles of rubbish. And people here | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
are just absolutely desperate to leave. One word that keeps coming up | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
over and again from the dozens of conversations I had with my | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
grittier, is England. Lorry driver said that desperation is leading to | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
migrants behaving more violently. The British Government says that | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
more French police have been deployed to the region to help keep | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
them safe. And that it is working on a new secure weightings for UK bound | :24:34. | :24:35. | |
vehicles. Social care providers in England | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
are calling for an urgent meeting with the government after warning | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
that measures announced in the spending review aren't enough | :24:43. | :24:44. | |
to tackle a funding crisis The Chancellor, George Osborne, | :24:45. | :24:46. | |
told local authorities they can raise council tax by two per cent | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
to meet the growing cost of providing support for elderly | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
and disabled people. Our social affairs correspondent | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
Alison Holt reports. As the population ages, | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
the number of people needing help with daily tasks such as washing | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
and dressing is increasing. Today's letter comes from council | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
officials who buy the majority those who provide it, those who use | :25:09. | :25:10. | |
it, and health managers. Despite government measures | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
to increase funding, they warn they still face | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
a financial crisis which could put In last month's comprehensive | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
spending review, the Chancellor announced that local authorities | :25:22. | :25:29. | |
will be allowed to raise an extra 2% on council tax to help pay | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
for adult social care. And by 2017, an additional | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
?1.5 billion will be put into integrating health | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
and social care. But today's letter says this | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
is too little too late, saying the funding crisis | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
is now, and in the next We are really pleased | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
that the Chancellor has provided some acknowledgement for social care | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
in the spending review settlement but we are fearful that comes too | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
little and very definitely too late. Most of the money comes | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
through at the end of this Parliament and there is a very real | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
funding crisis in social care today. The government says | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
the new measures are part of a ?3.5 billion investment | :26:10. | :26:11. | |
in care, designed to make sure councils can provide people | :26:12. | :26:13. | |
with the support they need. Two weeks after becoming | :26:14. | :26:15. | |
the new world heavyweight boxing champion - Tyson Fury has been | :26:16. | :26:25. | |
stripped of one of his titles, is facing a police investigation | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
over comments he made about homosexuality, | :26:30. | :26:31. | |
and now calls for him to be removed from the shortlist for the BBC's | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
Sports Personality Of The Year. Let's speak to our sports | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
correspondent, Katie Gornal. Pressure is growing on the BBC to | :26:39. | :26:49. | |
remove him from this list. That is right. Tyson Fury is one of the last | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
people added to this 12 person short list and the most controversial. | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
Richard said the fact he has been stripped of his belt has nothing to | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
do with the controversy surrounding his personal beliefs. It is because | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
instead of fighting the mandatory challenger he is dead decided on a | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
rematch with Wladimir Klitschko. But in the meantime pressure does grow | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
on Tyson Fury and the BBC. Unconfirmed reports said today that | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
Greg Rutherford is prepared to pull out of the award unless Tyson Fury | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
is removed from the short list. Also petition of over 120,000 people | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
calling for his removal and the police are investigating allegations | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
of hate crimes against the boxer. It is because of comments he made when | :27:36. | :27:38. | |
he said that legalising homosexuality was one of the fiddly | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
things that had to happen along with abortion and paedophilia before the | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
Devil came home. He also commented on women sang a woman's place was in | :27:47. | :27:50. | |
the kitchen and on her back. He tried to clarify these beliefs thing | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
he does not hate anyone and is not homophobic but there is still | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
growing pressure on the BBC. The BBC's stance is that his nomination | :27:58. | :28:00. | |
is a recognition of sporting achievement, not an endorsement of | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
his beliefs. But next week the director-general of the BBC Tony | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
Hall is set to appear before the Commons Culture Select Committee and | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
is sure to face growing pressure about this and pressure for a | :28:13. | :28:13. | |
rethink. We could do with guys like this | :28:14. | :28:25. | |
across Cumbria for the next few weeks for the grand to dry out. | :28:26. | :28:34. | |
Southern and eastern parts of the UK have sunshine this morning but | :28:35. | :28:37. | |
compare that to Scotland, also windy with some pretty heavy rain around. | :28:38. | :28:44. | |
Heavy rain pushing into Northern Ireland as well and that contrast | :28:45. | :28:48. | |
across the UK. Southern areas have high pressure and low pressure | :28:49. | :28:52. | |
towards the north-west. So here it is windy, they'll force wind as we | :28:53. | :28:57. | |
had through the afternoon. Outbreaks of rain which become heavy as well. | :28:58. | :29:02. | |
Notice those gas in the north-west. Up to 70 miles an hour. Blustery | :29:03. | :29:09. | |
even further south, the rain starting to push into south-west | :29:10. | :29:11. | |
Scotland and Cumbria in the afternoon. For much of England and | :29:12. | :29:15. | |
Wales should be dry with bright and sunny spells continuing. Feeling | :29:16. | :29:20. | |
cooler than temperature suggests. Double figures from a but not | :29:21. | :29:23. | |
feeling like that even across southern areas. Remaining blustery | :29:24. | :29:28. | |
and wet in the north-west. The band of rain in the north-west moved | :29:29. | :29:33. | |
south and east this evening and overnight, quite heavy and | :29:34. | :29:36. | |
persistent for Cumbria and parts of Scotland. Up to 40 millimetres of | :29:37. | :29:41. | |
rain. That could cause some impact but nowhere near the impact we had | :29:42. | :29:46. | |
over the weekend. And very windy as well with Gail. Heavy rain also | :29:47. | :29:49. | |
affecting North and West Wales through the night. It remains cold | :29:50. | :29:57. | |
behind the weather front for Scotland and Northern Ireland | :29:58. | :29:59. | |
overnight, potentially some pockets of frost across the Glens. To the | :30:00. | :30:04. | |
south double figures so mild night. Into Thursday we see the rain band | :30:05. | :30:09. | |
thinking south. Generally a line from Lincolnshire to the south-east, | :30:10. | :30:13. | |
cloudy but mild. Behind the rain band for the majority of the country | :30:14. | :30:17. | |
right with some sunshine and some wintry showers across the Scottish | :30:18. | :30:23. | |
mountains. Double figures across the South. On Friday, most of us in that | :30:24. | :30:28. | |
cold air, bright for many with wintry showers in the North. | :30:29. | :30:33. | |
Southern counties remaining quite grey and cloudy. Into the weekend, | :30:34. | :30:39. | |
after a chilly start, things turn milder and we see another weather | :30:40. | :30:43. | |
system pushing north and bringing more rain. Some uncertainty as to | :30:44. | :30:46. | |
where that will fall but in the meantime we have rain across Cumbria | :30:47. | :30:52. | |
tonight. Keep a lookout on the website for weather warnings. | :30:53. | :30:54. | |
Now a reminder of our top story this lunchtime. | :30:55. | :30:59. | |
The government announces a ?50 million fund for families and | :31:00. | :31:03. | |
businesses affected by the | :31:04. | :31:04. |
