A coroner condemns the police response during

:00:00.:00:00.

the Tunisia terror attack that left 30 British tourists dead.

:00:07.:00:10.

As a lone gunman set about killing as many tourists as he could,

:00:11.:00:14.

the coroner said the police were at best shambolic,

:00:15.:00:16.

In the past few minutes, lawyers for some of the families

:00:17.:00:23.

now say they will sue the tour operator.

:00:24.:00:28.

The ink 's were about those that tragically lost their lives. They

:00:29.:00:34.

must never be forgotten, and our families hope no one has to suffer

:00:35.:00:42.

the same fate in future. -- the inquests were.

:00:43.:00:44.

One survivor who risked his life to save others says he saw

:00:45.:00:47.

no police on the beach for at least 20 minutes.

:00:48.:00:49.

Police waited, police fainted, they hid.

:00:50.:00:51.

We'll have the latest from the inquest.

:00:52.:00:57.

A senior police officer says not all paedophiles should be prosecuted

Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:01:56.:01:59.

The coroner at the inquest into the deaths of 30 British

:02:00.:02:04.

tourists during a gun attack at a beach resort in Tunisia has

:02:05.:02:08.

condemned the police response saying it was 'at best shambolic,

:02:09.:02:10.

He singled out a policeman who "fainted through terror

:02:11.:02:15.

and panic", and a guard who took off his shirt to hide

:02:16.:02:18.

Families of some of the British victims that died at the 5-star

:02:19.:02:30.

hotel in Sousse in June, 2015, say they are preparing legal action

:02:31.:02:31.

against the tour operator TUI. From the inquest,

:02:32.:02:34.

Richard Galpin reports. The families of those killed had

:02:35.:02:43.

been hoping the coroner's conclusions today would say neglect

:02:44.:02:46.

had played a part in the deaths of their loved ones, in particular the

:02:47.:02:50.

alleged lack of security at the Hotel where they were staying. But

:02:51.:02:55.

there was disappointment. The coroner judge Nicholas Loraine-Smith

:02:56.:03:02.

said "No verdict of neglect is open to him, because he had not found

:03:03.:03:07.

gross deficiencies or that those efficiencies were directly linked to

:03:08.:03:11.

their deaths" but went on to say that the response by the police was

:03:12.:03:18.

at best shambolic, and at worst cowardly. Nowadays, Allen Pembroke

:03:19.:03:22.

leads a normal life working at this London company. But he was on the

:03:23.:03:27.

beach at the time of the attack. Realising though one was helping the

:03:28.:03:31.

injured, he did something quite extraordinary, running back to the

:03:32.:03:34.

scene of the attack after taking his wife to the safety of their hotel. I

:03:35.:03:42.

ran towards the gunfire. I could now see bodies on the beach. I hit the

:03:43.:03:48.

deck. And as I hit the sand, I literally fell into a lady. I could

:03:49.:03:53.

see the lady was moving and was semiconscious. She had some severe

:03:54.:04:01.

gunshot wounds. I dressed her hand, and covered her wrist with a scarf I

:04:02.:04:08.

palled down from a beach umbrella. She then said she had pain in her

:04:09.:04:12.

leg, and I noticed she had a hole in her leg. So I got a beach towel and

:04:13.:04:17.

wrapped it around her leg to compress the injury and stop the

:04:18.:04:21.

bleeding. Mr Pembroke's actions saved the life of the woman, whose

:04:22.:04:27.

husband lay dead beside her. But he is haunted by what he saw and angry

:04:28.:04:31.

at the failure of the Tunisian police to intervene in time. I was

:04:32.:04:36.

on the beach a good 20 minutes with Cheryl alone, and I saw no military

:04:37.:04:45.

or medical staff. It's only in recent reports that I found that

:04:46.:04:48.

police waited, police fainted, they hid. You know, it's... that's

:04:49.:04:56.

unforgivable. They need to be accountable for that. Just three

:04:57.:05:02.

months earlier, foreign tourists had been targeted in an attack by

:05:03.:05:06.

Islamist extremists in the capital, Tunis, leaving 20 dead. But the

:05:07.:05:12.

Foreign Office did not change its overall travel advice. The

:05:13.:05:16.

colour-coded map on its website remained green for the coastal

:05:17.:05:20.

areas, said tourists could still go, even though the Foreign Office was

:05:21.:05:25.

warning of a high risk of terrorism. All 30 British tourist killed in the

:05:26.:05:29.

attack had booked their holiday with the travel company tui, the parent

:05:30.:05:34.

company of Thompson. Today, the company have highlighted how staff

:05:35.:05:38.

had been told that if asked if Tunisia was safe, the overall level

:05:39.:05:42.

of Foreign Office advice had not changed and it was business as usual

:05:43.:05:47.

at the beach resorts. There was no mention of the risk of terrorism.

:05:48.:05:52.

For those who lost loved ones in this horrific attack, the legal

:05:53.:05:56.

fight will continue now in the civil courts. They are planning to bring

:05:57.:06:00.

personal injury and fatal accident claims against the travel company

:06:01.:06:05.

tui. TUI denies the allegations of neglect.

:06:06.:06:14.

The coroner said there was no neglect by TUI, because the victims

:06:15.:06:21.

were not in a dependent position, and there is nothing the hotel could

:06:22.:06:25.

have done before the attack. But the families of some said they are still

:06:26.:06:29.

preparing legal action. This is what their solicitor said in the last new

:06:30.:06:33.

minutes. On the half of our clients that lost members of their family

:06:34.:06:37.

and those that suffered injuries, in this terrible incident, we will

:06:38.:06:44.

start civil proceedings against TUI. For those that tragically lost their

:06:45.:06:48.

lives, they must never be forgotten, and their families hope that no one

:06:49.:06:51.

else will ever had to suffer the same fate in future.

:06:52.:06:54.

British tourists visiting Sousse say they'd been told

:06:55.:06:56.

it was a safe destination, despite previous terror

:06:57.:06:58.

But for around 20 minutes, the lone gunman strolled

:06:59.:07:01.

unchallenged along the beach, and through a hotel complex

:07:02.:07:07.

packed with tourists, shooting randomly, as Daniela Relph reports.

:07:08.:07:11.

In front of the bereaved families, the inquest had heard

:07:12.:07:14.

the chilling, distressing detail of multiple murder.

:07:15.:07:22.

Here, the gunman Seifeddine Rezgui is dropped off near the resort.

:07:23.:07:24.

The driver of the car has never been found.

:07:25.:07:27.

Under his arm, a parasol hiding his weapon.

:07:28.:07:31.

He walked to the beach where he began to kill,

:07:32.:07:39.

shooting people as they lay on sunloungers.

:07:40.:07:41.

Across the sand, vulnerable in just shorts and swimming costumes,

:07:42.:07:48.

these are people quite literally running for their lives.

:07:49.:07:52.

There was chaos and confusion, how could this possibly be happening?

:07:53.:07:57.

A gunman, shooting tourist after tourist.

:07:58.:08:01.

From the beach and the pool, he entered the hotel,

:08:02.:08:06.

Many were shot dead as they tried to hide.

:08:07.:08:10.

For 20 minutes, he killed repeatedly.

:08:11.:08:12.

This map, evidenced during the inquest, showed how far

:08:13.:08:20.

Seifeddine Rezgui travelled on his killing spree.

:08:21.:08:24.

A Metropolitan Police team sent to Tunisia to investigate

:08:25.:08:27.

commissioned this animation, an image of each victim marks

:08:28.:08:30.

In just about every main area of the hotel, somebody died.

:08:31.:08:37.

The gunman simply wasn't stopped, he wasn't challenged.

:08:38.:08:43.

The police, the Coast Guard, hotel security all failed to act

:08:44.:08:47.

in what was described in court as "simple cowardice".

:08:48.:08:49.

Eventually, Seifeddine Rezgui was shot dead.

:08:50.:08:54.

Alongside the hotel where he'd murdered 38 people.

:08:55.:08:59.

The inquest has given the bereaved a voice.

:09:00.:09:05.

Tributes were read to each person killed.

:09:06.:09:08.

Here are extracts from those tributes that

:09:09.:09:10.

Although in their hearts, they knew that it was bad news,

:09:11.:09:17.

they still kept hoping and praying that she was safe.

:09:18.:09:23.

Owen no longer has his grandad, his brother nor his uncle.

:09:24.:09:28.

His three roll models in his life, his three best friends.

:09:29.:09:33.

Our home's not filled with laughs and smiles like it used to be.

:09:34.:09:36.

No one will be able to take away the love Matt and I shared

:09:37.:09:40.

with John, all the memories we were able to make

:09:41.:09:42.

John and Janet Stocker died together doing what they enjoyed most,

:09:43.:09:46.

She always looked for the best in everyone,

:09:47.:09:51.

and truly was a kind, caring, intelligent,

:09:52.:09:53.

beautiful woman with a wicked sense of humour.

:09:54.:09:59.

Every day the families came to court, at times they had to sit

:10:00.:10:03.

But these inquests have been an important part

:10:04.:10:07.

A chance to remember and a chance to ask questions

:10:08.:10:12.

How could a beach holiday end up with so many

:10:13.:10:17.

Our correspondent, Orla Guerin, is at the beach in Sousse

:10:18.:10:26.

Almost two years after it happened, what is security like they're now?

:10:27.:10:39.

There is a very visible change here in the resort, and I have been here

:10:40.:10:47.

three times since 2015. You can see on the streets a presence of heavily

:10:48.:10:51.

armed police. There are permanent checkpoint at roundabouts that lead

:10:52.:10:55.

to access zone is going to tourist hotels. Once you reach the hotels,

:10:56.:10:58.

there are metal detectors and scanners that everyone has two parts

:10:59.:11:02.

through. The Tunisian authorities are anxious to send a message that

:11:03.:11:06.

it is safe for tourists to be here. A minister told us it was 100% safe.

:11:07.:11:12.

The big thing for the authorities is to try to get European tourists back

:11:13.:11:18.

after the attack their numbers fell by 40%. The British Government is

:11:19.:11:21.

still advising holiday-makers to stay away. They used to come here in

:11:22.:11:27.

huge numbers. In high season, there will have been 25,000 Britons here

:11:28.:11:32.

every week. Speaking in it in the hotels, staff rushed over and say it

:11:33.:11:36.

is wonderful to hear that language, when will we hear it again? For now,

:11:37.:11:41.

the Foreign Office is insisting that travellers should not come here.

:11:42.:11:45.

They advise against all but essential travel. The Tunisians are

:11:46.:11:49.

hoping that advice at some point may be overturned, but the coroner's

:11:50.:11:53.

findings do they will not be helpful to them in making their case. Thank

:11:54.:11:54.

you. Britain's most senior child

:11:55.:11:59.

protection police officer says paedophiles who pose no physical

:12:00.:12:06.

threat to children Simon Bailey says the system has

:12:07.:12:08.

reached "saturation point", But instead of jailing them all,

:12:09.:12:11.

he said police should focus on those who posed the greatest threat

:12:12.:12:16.

to children, with 'lower-level' offenders

:12:17.:12:18.

being offered rehabilitated. As more and more images of child

:12:19.:12:28.

abuse and up online, more people are being discovered viewing them. The

:12:29.:12:33.

senior officer in charge of child protection say that police have

:12:34.:12:36.

reached saturation point, and we should now target the most serious

:12:37.:12:41.

offenders behind the abuse, and stop jailing others. We need to focus

:12:42.:12:46.

upon those men, and occasionally women, but predominantly those men

:12:47.:12:49.

who are intent on raping and physically assaulting some of the

:12:50.:12:54.

most vulnerable members of our society. That's what I'm focused on

:12:55.:12:59.

stopping. Look at the numbers, four years ago, offices in England

:13:00.:13:03.

investigated 21,000 child abuse cases. By 2015, that had jumped to

:13:04.:13:09.

30 9000. The police gave a struggling to cope. We recognise the

:13:10.:13:14.

police concerns with resources, but the focus needs to be on child

:13:15.:13:19.

protection. We need to remember, with every one of these images, we

:13:20.:13:22.

are looking at a crime scene and a child abused. The Chief Constable

:13:23.:13:26.

knows his proposal will be met with opposition, the way we deal with sex

:13:27.:13:30.

offenders and child abusers is always a controversial issue. But

:13:31.:13:35.

there is such strain, he says that something has to change. Some find

:13:36.:13:42.

the idea of any paedophile avoiding prison on think of all. It's all a

:13:43.:13:47.

slippery slope, and we need zero tolerance to protect our children.

:13:48.:13:51.

But if the resources are as stretched as he said, isn't it right

:13:52.:13:54.

to focus on the more serious offenders? I find it fickle to

:13:55.:14:00.

categorise a child that is being raped in a local park and a child

:14:01.:14:05.

who is being raped in Thailand or Bulgaria, or some part of Greater

:14:06.:14:09.

London, it's all very serious. The Home Office took a firm line this

:14:10.:14:13.

morning, describing viewing child abuse images as a terrible crime

:14:14.:14:18.

that should be treated such. It says that strong criminal justice

:14:19.:14:19.

sanctions remain the response. The former Chancellor,

:14:20.:14:24.

George Osborne, has warned that leaving the single market will be

:14:25.:14:30.

"the biggest act of protectionism in Our assistant political editor,

Norman Smith, is in Westminster. What has he been saying? Sophie, you

sense the big beasts of the remain campaign, those opposed to Brexit,

:14:46.:14:50.

Stirling from their slumber. Last night, Sir John Major attacked

:14:51.:14:54.

Theresa May for her to Brexit. Today, George Osborne, warning Mrs

:14:55.:15:02.

May to not follow through if she can't get the agreement she wants

:15:03.:15:07.

with the EU. To do that, he said it would mean the biggest act of

:15:08.:15:11.

protectionism in British history. Meaning that British companies would

:15:12.:15:16.

face new regulations and admit that if burdens if they wanted to trade

:15:17.:15:21.

with the EU. More than that, he says Theresa May's new idea that new

:15:22.:15:24.

deals can be struck with non-European countries, that can

:15:25.:15:29.

never make up for the loss of trade with the rest of Europe. George

:15:30.:15:33.

Osborne insists he is not trying to unpick the results of the

:15:34.:15:37.

referendum. But you sense that after months in which Mrs May has

:15:38.:15:43.

dominated the debate on Brexit, casting her opponents asunder,

:15:44.:15:46.

slowly her opponents are beginning to organise, harness their argument

:16:33.:16:37.

where he bought knives and latex gloves. He was seen leaving with

:16:38.:16:40.

:16:41.:16:44.

A coroner has condemned the police response during the Tunisia

Andy Murray prepares to feature in his first tournament

He is fit again after a bout of shingles and will feature

:17:59.:18:03.

President Trump will make his first speech to a joint session

:18:04.:18:09.

The White House says it will be an address that will talk

:18:10.:18:15.

about the renewal of the American spirit, and will call

:18:16.:18:18.

on Americans to come together to serve the nation.

:18:19.:18:21.

But after a roller coaster first month in the White House,

:18:22.:18:23.

he'll be addressing a nation and House of Congress still divided

:18:24.:18:26.

Our Washington Correspondent, Laura Bicker, reports.

:18:27.:18:31.

If Presidents are to keep promises, they need friends here.

:18:32.:18:35.

This is Donald Trump's chance to convince congress that

:18:36.:18:38.

Donald Trump has had a troubled first 40 days.

:18:39.:18:43.

It started with the role out of his travel ban.

:18:44.:18:47.

It caused chaos at airports and became the source of protests.

:18:48.:18:51.

If you remember, Isis said, we are going to infiltrate

:18:52.:18:55.

the United States and other countries through the migration.

:18:56.:18:59.

And then we are not allowed to be tough on the people coming in?

:19:00.:19:03.

The President's also been dogged by questions about his campaign

:19:04.:19:09.

I can tell you, speaking for myself, I own nothing in Russia,

:19:10.:19:17.

I have no loans in Russia, I don't have any deals in Russia.

:19:18.:19:21.

He lost his National Security Advisor over his talks

:19:22.:19:24.

The thing is, he didn't tell our Vice-President properly

:19:25.:19:32.

and then he said he didn't remember, so either way it wasn't

:19:33.:19:34.

The controversy clung on so Donald Trump returned

:19:35.:19:43.

to his base relishing the chance to talk about his agenda and blame

:19:44.:19:46.

A few days ago, I called the fake news the enemy

:19:47.:19:51.

So we asked voters visiting the capital from across the country

:19:52.:20:00.

A lot of people don't know what they are doing at this point.

:20:01.:20:07.

I don't think he's very presidential but he's got some good ideas and I'm

:20:08.:20:12.

I'm very thankful that Trump is in and I just hope and pray that

:20:13.:20:21.

It's a hard job and it's something that he's really

:20:22.:20:26.

going to have to work on, but it's not just

:20:27.:20:29.

It's the responsibility of the congress and also

:20:30.:20:36.

Congress is new territory for Donald Trump and despite these

:20:37.:20:40.

voters' pleas, unity at this time of great change may be difficult

:20:41.:20:43.

Let's speak to our correspondent, Jane O'Brien, who's in Washington.

:20:44.:20:49.

An important moment for the President. What is he expected to

:20:50.:20:54.

say and how is he expected to approach it? With a great deal of

:20:55.:20:58.

optimism. This speech will be different to the dark bleak picture

:20:59.:21:02.

he created of America during his inauguration speech. He's going to

:21:03.:21:05.

talk about a renewal of the American spirit and also focus on what he

:21:06.:21:10.

says are his achievements despite the negative press he's attracted.

:21:11.:21:15.

So he'll talk about his crackdown on illegal immigration slashing

:21:16.:21:18.

regulations, all things that he promised his supporters, but these

:21:19.:21:21.

are things he's done by executive order, pretty much on his own. Now

:21:22.:21:25.

he needs congress and what law-makers behind me in that

For the first time since it was set up nearly three years ago,

:21:56.:21:58.

the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse has been

:21:59.:22:00.

hearing from the victims of child sexual abuse.

:22:01.:22:02.

This morning, it heard from a woman who told of the "sadistic" treatment

:22:03.:22:06.

she faced at a school in Western Australia,

:22:07.:22:15.

Mar sell was a war child. She was removed from her British mother and

:22:16.:22:22.

foster mother and sent to Australia. Today, she came back to give this

:22:23.:22:27.

inquiry her evidence. When you went on the ship to Australia from the

:22:28.:22:31.

UK, where did you think you were going? On a tea party.

:22:32.:22:40.

NEWSREEL: Across the continent in Western Australia, the celebrations

:22:41.:22:45.

started. She ended up in the care of a British charity which sent

:22:46.:22:47.

hundreds of troubled children across the world. The surviving footage

:22:48.:22:52.

only ever portrays the good side of this place. Some of the children do

:22:53.:23:01.

say it was a good experience. This was Marcelle aged five and this is

:23:02.:23:04.

how she was treated by the woman at the farm who was her so-called

:23:05.:23:10.

cottage mother. Sadistic. Got slapped around the head a lot,

:23:11.:23:15.

pushed in the back, put under a cold shower if they thought we weren't

:23:16.:23:19.

doing good, or locked in a cupboard with no lights or anything until

:23:20.:23:24.

they felt fit to let you out. Would your cottage mother ever say things

:23:25.:23:33.

to you that were upsetting? Yes. You're a (BLEEP) from the gutter,

:23:34.:23:38.

you're a nobody. You've got nobody. You've got no parents, they're all

:23:39.:23:42.

dead. She told the inquiry into sexual abuse that the farm's deputy

:23:43.:23:46.

principle would touch her breasts and bottom. Back in England,

:23:47.:23:56.

Marcelle's Foster mother wrote to the Queen. Later the Director of The

:23:57.:24:02.

Charity wrote that Marcelle's undesirable birth mother wanted her

:24:03.:24:07.

emigrated. Here today she was asked, was that true, and she said it

:24:08.:24:13.

wasn't. And this is the proof. As an adult, Marcelle was reunited with

:24:14.:24:16.

her mother by the child migrant's trust, a mother who told her, they

:24:17.:24:18.

took you from me. Heating and lighting our homes adds

:24:19.:24:28.

up to about a third of the emissions But improving energy

:24:29.:24:31.

efficiency is a massive task. According to the Green Building

Council, a house would have to be refurbished every minute

:24:35.:24:37.

until the year 2050, We neath your floor boards, one

solution, a robot wizard preparing to spread warmth. Draftee homes push

up bills, harm health and increase carbon emissions from heating.

floral boards with a layer of foam insulation. The hassle and

:25:10.:25:14.

disruption of upgrading your home literally in some cases ripping it

:25:15.:25:19.

apart to put it back together so you can insulate it and make it more

:25:20.:25:23.

efficient is a big hassle and stops people upgrading their homes. That's

:25:24.:25:28.

why we developed this. Energy bills for a standard terraced are upwards

:25:29.:25:34.

of ?1500 a year. Not this one. It's insulated rear white wall is fatter

than the neighbour's brick wall. Inside, they're testing the upgraded

house for drafts. Builders search for cold spots with a thermal

:25:49.:25:52.

camera. It's a major upgrade that'll take more than 20 years to pay back.

:25:53.:25:58.

I'm doing it for my grandchildren and because I'm really concerned

:25:59.:26:01.

about climate change. I wanted to make my house for comfortable and

:26:02.:26:05.

easy to control the heating and I believe I'm going to save round

about 80% on my heating bills. Creating good quality well-designed

emissions. Here is the scale of the insulation challenge, to meet its

:26:35.:26:38.

own law on reducing carbon emissions, the Government needs to

:26:39.:26:43.

get 25 million existing homes upgraded by 2050. That is more than

:26:44.:26:52.

one home every minute. Roger Harrabin, BBC News.

:26:53.:26:54.

From today, many poultry farmers won't be able

:26:55.:26:57.

to label their produce as 'free range' - that's because of safety

:26:58.:26:59.

precautions they've had to take to prevent the spread of bird flu.

:27:00.:27:08.

Moshe than half the eggs we buy are free range. We eat millions of them.

:27:09.:27:15.

You are soon going to see a sticker on the box saying, "hens temporarily

:27:16.:27:19.

housed in barns for their welfare". You may not know it, but all hens

:27:20.:27:24.

have had to be kept inside since December to help prevent the spread

:27:25.:27:30.

of avian flu, not just here, but in other European countries as well.

:27:31.:27:35.

Under EU rules, if the birds have been housed for more than 12 weeks,

:27:36.:27:39.

they technically lose their free range status, and that period ends

:27:40.:27:43.

today. The Government says the majority of farmers should be able

:27:44.:27:48.

to let their birds out if they adhere to strict bio-security

:27:49.:27:52.

measures. Now, here they don't just pack the eggs, they produce them as

:27:53.:27:56.

well. Toby Rush is the owner of this business. Are you going to be

:27:57.:27:59.

letting your birds out today? Not today. I've read the rules and we

:28:00.:28:05.

have 32,000 hens on the Farge and I would need to cover all my ranges in

:28:06.:28:10.

netting, an area the size of 16 football pitches, totally

:28:11.:28:12.

impractical for what is a temporary measure. Do you think most farmers

:28:13.:28:16.

will be doing the same, keeping hens indoors? I believe so. I believe the

:28:17.:28:20.

majority of farmers will make the decision to keep their birds in,

:28:21.:28:24.

it's the safest place for them against this very virulent strain of

:28:25.:28:29.

avian flu. Now, even if the hens are in or out, the decision's been taken

:28:30.:28:34.

to put a label on every commercial free range eggs box, so I guess what

:28:35.:28:39.

consumers want to know is, are these eggs free range or not? Well, I

:28:40.:28:44.

believe they are. We are committed to producing free range eggs from

:28:45.:28:49.

free range hens. It's an EU technicality that at the moment we

:28:50.:28:53.

have to put the sticker on. They look and taste the same, they are

:28:54.:28:56.

the same grade and as soon as we have the all-clear, the hens will be

:28:57.:29:00.

back out in the string sun sine and we'll be back to business as usual.

:29:01.:29:07.

This is an unprecedented step. It's really just a temporary measure.

:29:08.:29:26.

They're being described as unique and of international importance.

:29:27.:29:28.

Four Iron Age neckbands that were found in a field

:29:29.:29:31.

in Staffordshire by two men with metal detectors

:29:32.:29:33.

They date back to between 400 and 250 BC, and are thought to be

:29:34.:29:40.

Not bad for four hours work on a Sunday morning. These will the two

:29:41.:29:49.

friends who found these whilst recently taking up metal detecting

:29:50.:29:52.

two decades after they gave the hobby up. I heard him say he'd found

:29:53.:29:56.

something. He was coming down the field to me and pulled it out of his

:29:57.:30:05.

pocket and waved it at me. That's when I went to pieces, my legs went

:30:06.:30:10.

like jelly and I went light-headed because I knew what it was. This

:30:11.:30:13.

isn't the first time there's been such a significant find around here.

:30:14.:30:17.

The Staffordshire horde was found seven years ago. But this is a

:30:18.:30:22.

thousand years older and it's the first of its kind from that period.

:30:23.:30:30.

This is a spectacular find. These four torks made out of gold are

:30:31.:30:34.

unique. It's surprisingly heavy. This would have been worn around the

:30:35.:30:38.

neck of a wealthy woman 2500 years ago and it's a period of British

:30:39.:30:41.

history about which we know very little.

:30:42.:30:44.

They were either buried for safe keeping or as an offering to the

:30:45.:30:49.

Gods and were probably made in France or Germany. It's really

:30:50.:30:53.

suggesting that excitingly we might be seeing new connections with the

:30:54.:30:56.

continent that we didn't know about before. When they opened up the box

:30:57.:31:01.

and got them out and I was able to see and handle them for the first

:31:02.:31:06.

time, I did feel slightly faint. They're incredible beautiful

:31:07.:31:10.

objects, so beautifully made, incredibly made. Melted down, this

:31:11.:31:15.

gold would fetch more than ?10,000, but it's worth much more than that.

:31:16.:31:19.

Once valued, the land will be chaired between the landowner and

:31:20.:31:22.

the metal detectors. Scary but nice. Happy days. Time for a look at the

:31:23.:31:37.

weather. In north-west England this morning, this was one weather

:31:38.:31:42.

watcher view from Scotland, similar views in Manchester, Stockport,

:31:43.:31:44.

North Wales, stretching towards the Peak District as well. Plenty of

:31:45.:31:49.

showers, still plenty out there at the moment drifting south-east ward,

:31:50.:31:53.

but sleet and snow tending to be on higher ground, at lower levels more

:31:54.:32:00.

hail and rain. Thunder and lightning have pushed through the Midlands,

:32:01.:32:07.

into East Anglia and the south-east. There are showers feeding into

:32:08.:32:09.

northern Scotland of a wintry flavour. Elsewhere in Scotland,

:32:10.:32:16.

actually a lot of dry, sunny weather into north-east England. Heavy

:32:17.:32:20.

showers in Northern Ireland. That batch feeding into north-west

:32:21.:32:22.

England and Wales as the afternoon goes on. More snow, but more

:32:23.:32:27.

especially on the hills. Sunny spells in-between this. It's a windy

:32:28.:32:31.

day here and this batch of showers feeding on across East Anglia and

:32:32.:32:35.

the south-east after the sunshine. Umbrellas at the ready. Lots of

:32:36.:32:38.

showers around going into the evening. Overnight, most of these

:32:39.:32:42.

will tend to fade away. We are left with a few in Northern Ireland, with

:32:43.:32:46.

one or two icy patches around and snow showers in northern Scotland

:32:47.:32:50.

giving a few centimetres, even to lower levels. A frost around for

:32:51.:32:54.

many, more especially across the northern half of the UK. Tomorrow

:32:55.:32:58.

the first day of meteorological spring and some sunshine around,

:32:59.:33:03.

still wintry showers in northern Scotland, one or two for Northern

:33:04.:33:07.

Ireland and northern England. This feeds into South Wales to give a

:33:08.:33:11.

dull, damp afternoon. A little less cold here. Chilly with sunny spells.

:33:12.:33:16.

I want to show you this area of rain feeding north across England and

:33:17.:33:19.

Wales tomorrow evening and night. Could have a bit of sleet and snow

:33:20.:33:24.

on its northern flank. Becoming windy in Wales and southern England.

:33:25.:33:29.

Sunshine and showers on Thursday, a blowy day, seeing heavier downpours

:33:30.:33:31.

reaching parts of Wales and the Midlands. That's the latest

:33:32.:33:33.

forecast.
