But those on the frontline say a court ruling has plunged the entire | :02:36. | :02:46. | |
:02:46. | :02:51. | ||
system into chaos and led to the prospect of criminals walking free. | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
People can then be brought back weeks or months later and in some | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
cases charged. A long-established system has meant people could be | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
held for 96 hours, often running over weeks or months, and in | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
between be released on police bail. The new ruling means they now have | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
to be held for 96 hours continuously, so a far tighter time | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
frame when it comes to gathering evidence and deciding whether to | :03:18. | :03:28. | |
:03:28. | :03:28. | ||
charge. Suspects can only be re- arrested if there is new evidence. | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
It reverses 25 years of police practice, and it is one where | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
ministers want a U-turn. There may be opportunities for | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
appealing the decision, but we will also looked at whether it is | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
necessary to introduce legislation to deal with this issue, so you can | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
rest assured that we are very conscious of the concern that this | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
judgment has brought in terms of operational policing. Enfield in | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
north London earlier this month, and a march to highlight the | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
suffering caused by a local gang violence. The message from one of | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
the organisers, leave the bail system as it was. We have so many | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
incidences of live crime, some which lead to get, so the police | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
need a longer time, I think, as long as they need to collect the | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
evidence and make strong cases so that we can get the perpetrators of | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
the streets, making the streets safe. While officers on the streets | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
get on with the job, their bosses and prosecutors are trying to | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
grapple with the ruling, described by different police chiefs as | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
bizarre and a net. It is not the intention or desire of policing to | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
put dangerous people back on the street, but we are working out | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
whether that is a potential consequence of this decision, | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
including public safety which is the absolute parity in all of this. | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
Tonight it has emerged that it is nearly a week since the situation | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
first came to light. For ministers, the clock is ticking as they decide | :04:58. | :05:07. | |
whether to reverse the ruling with emergency legislation. | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
Our home editor is at the Home Office. How can one Judge's ruling | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
10 years of practice upside-down? It is bizarre that the 25 years the | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
police have been behaving in one way in terms of how they question | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
and use bail during the course of an investigation, only to discover | :05:28. | :05:37. | |
that that is not what the law says It will be a concern for detectives | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
who have got used to the idea that the 96 our maximum that they have | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
got can be spread out over a long period. The only way under the new | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
ruling after the four days that they can get someone back into the | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
station is it they have got new evidence. There have been criticism | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
that the bail system is being used by police, as it were, to almost | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
punish a suspect without evidence. They are restricting who they can | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
talk to him over quite a long period. Here at the Home Office, | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
lawyers are working out how they might be able to get quick | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
emergency legislation through the House of Commons so that they can | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
fill what they regard as a loophole. The Greek parliament has voted for | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
a controversial austerity package which will mean tax rises and pay | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
cuts for millions of workers. There were angry and sometimes violent | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
scenes outside Parliament where thousands demonstrated against the | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
proposals. Without the drastic cuts in spending, Greece would not | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
receive billions of Euros in bail- out money from the European Union | :06:46. | :06:54. | |
and the IMF. Greece needs to make �25 billion of savings by 2015. | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
150,000 jobs will go, and �44 billion of state assets will have | :07:00. | :07:10. | |
:07:10. | :07:10. | ||
to be privatised. Gavin Hewitt is This has been a difficult day in | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
Greece. Sure, the Parliament has approved these awe austerity | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
measures, which means Greece can probably avoid bankruptcy and not | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
threaten the international financial system. But it has also | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
been a day of serious violence. You can probably hear all the noise | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
behind me, because that violence is continuing tonight. Greek MPs | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
debated and voted behind shuttered windows while outside there were | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
fierce clashes on the streets. In Parliament Square protesters had | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
arrived early, hoping to interrupt a vote that would bring in hard- | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
line austerity measures. Clashes with police quickly broke out as | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
thousands of protesters lined up outside Parliament. Even before the | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
vote has started there are volleys of tear gas being aimed at the | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
crowd. And the crowd here certainly has a sense of tension knowing that | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
within an hour the MPs are supposed to vote. The violence was far more | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
serious than yesterday. Dozens of police and protesters were injured. | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
There were running battles with protesters charging police lines. | :08:25. | :08:33. | |
The police uefrd tear gas and stun grenades. Some of the protesters | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
threw blast bombs. The fighting spread to other neighbourhoods. | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
Inside the Parliament George Papandreou said it was time to face | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
up to a historic challenge. The Greek people, he said, don't want | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
this Government to fail because if these measures fail, Greece will | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
fail. In the event the austerity measures passed by just a handful | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
of votes. The way is now open for Greece to receive �10 billion in | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
emergency loans and so avoid bankruptcy. The response on the | :09:06. | :09:14. | |
streets was one of fury. This woman said, "Let the Prime Minister come | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
down here and see if he can live on 300 euros a month." Europe's | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
leaders said the result was good news for Europe and the eurozone. | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
That may be true in the short term, but these budget cuts have little | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
popular support. And there is real Bertness here. Tonight crowds were | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
herded into a Metro station and the police showed little restraint. Yes, | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
the Government won, but there are serious doubts whether the | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
austerity measure consist be fully implemented. Many doubts remain | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
about the future here. Social tension is rising. One of the MPs | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
who voted in favour of the austerity measures was attacked | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
leaving Parliament. I bumped into the head of one of the big unions | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
here who said sure, they've approved austerity measures, but | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
they'll never be fully implemented. This square is covered in the | :10:06. | :10:14. | |
latest volley of tear gas. Stephanie Flanders can here. Does | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
this vote solve the problem or simply delay finding a solution? | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
wish I could say this has solved everything, we are not going to be | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
talking about Greece for the next weeks and months, but that's | :10:26. | :10:33. | |
clearly not the case. This tragedy has really only ever been about | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
buying time for Greece. If Greece decided not to pay these debts it | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
would save them money, they wouldn't have to pay interest on | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
that debt, but they wouldn't have enough money coming in to can keep | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
the going going, so they would need more austerity, not less. That's | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
the argument that probably won out today. There is plenty more to come. | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
The eurozone has to decide on the structure of a new bail-out for | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
Greece. Greece has to show kit implement these difficult policies. | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
More pain ahead for them and almost certainly more crisis talks for the | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
eurozone ahead. Travellers have been twoorpbd | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
expect delays at ports and airports tomorrow, as thousands of | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
immigration and Customs officers prepare to join the public sector | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
strike. Schools in England and Wales are also expected to be hit | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
in what unions say will be the biggest public sector walkout for | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
many years. John Moylan reports. Thousands of schools will be close, | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
many Jobcentres will be shut. And air travellers will face long | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
queues at airports. That's some of the likely impact tomorrow as | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
hundreds of thousands of public sector workers go on strike over | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
changes to their pensions. But on the eve of the biggest industrial | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
action to be seen in years, the Prime Minister again attacked the | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
planned walkout. I don't believe there is any case for industrial | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
action tomorrow, not least because talks are still ongoing. It is only | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
a minority of unions who've taken the decision to go ahead and strike. | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
What I want to see tomorrow is as many mums and dads tomorrow able to | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
take their children to school. the same time in London and | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
elsewhere, unions involved were rallying their troops. They reject | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
the Government's claim that the proposed changes are fair. We are | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
striking now because the Government's made it absolutely | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
clear that they intend to make our members work eight years longer, | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
pay thousands more and get half the pension they currently get. It is a | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
massive raid on people's pensions, completely unfair, and we were | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
striking to try and stop it. With people living long ter Government | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
says tuckor tensions must change. It points to a �9.7 billion funding | :12:45. | :12:53. | |
black hole by 2015, so it wants workerss to contribute 3% more on | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
average, to work longer and to move to less-generous career average | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
schemes. But it means that millions of public sector workers, including | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
these three in Birmingham, will have to rethink their retirement | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
plans. I'm going on strike tomorrow because I carant education and I | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
care about my pension. And I'm afraid I feel it is the only way we | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
are going to get our voice heard. We've got to take a stand and say | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
it is not acceptable to keep living in fear, wondering whether you will | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
keep a job or will be able to pay the mortgage. So how much sympathy | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
is there for the strike? Business groups warn that tomorrow's action | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
could damage an already fragile recovery. Kite have an enormous | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
disruptive effect upon business. Most parents now work. The fact | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
that thousands of schools are going to be closed means that parents | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
will have to take time off work to look after their children, which | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
means they are not going to their business, and lit hit their pockets | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
as well. In the coming hours the walkouts will begin. The dispute so | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
far played out behind the scenes will start to touch millions of us. | :14:02. | :14:09. | |
In a moment we'll be talking to Nick Robinson but first to our | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
industry correspondent John Moylan, who is at Heathrow. The effect of | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
these strikes are being felt already at ports and airports? | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
Officially it starts at midnight but immigration staff coming on | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
shift here at Heathrow from 6 o'clock are being asked by their | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
union not to work. The main impact at Heathrow and other pain airports | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
and Dover tomorrow, long queues are expected at immigration. The big | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
impact for families across England and Wales will come from the | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
teachers' strike. It is expected that two thirds of schools in | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
England will be shut or disrupted, and parents staying at home will | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
mean a knock-on effect on businesses. If you are expecting a | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
benefits payment on-line, that should happen, but Jobcentres will | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
be closed. Clourts be affected as well. Cases will be cancelled. If | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
you are doing your driving test tomorrow that's likely to have to | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
be rebooked. Nick, David Cameron has already made his views pretty | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
clear on these strikes. How worried will he be that they are going | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
ahead anyway? I think he is waiting and watching, as the whole of | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
Westminster is, to see how much of an impact these strikes have on | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
ordinary people's lives. And how does the public react? This is the | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
beginning of a long, drawn-out dispute, not the end of it tomorrow. | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
There are unions that are not yet on strike who will have to make | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
their decisions. Ministers are locked in negotiations over pension | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
changes who will have to make decisions about what successions to | :15:40. | :15:50. | |

An Italian man has been found guilty of murdering a mother of two | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
nine years ago. Danilo Restivo, who had a hair fetish, left a clump of | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
hair in her hand. The body was found by her children as they | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
returned home from school. Whenever Barnet saw their son and daughter | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
off to school in 2002, her killer was just yards away. -- Heather | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
Barnard. By the time the children came home, their mother was dead. | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
The police officers said something awful has happened to your mum, she | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
died. There was nothing they could do about it. But she was gone, and | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
at that moment I cannot believe it. I said, you are lying, you are | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
lying, that cannot be true, that cannot happen, that is my mum. | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
neighbour who had visited Heather Barnard, Danilo Restivo was soon a | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
suspect. She had been found with locks of cut hair in her hand. He | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
had been reported for surreptitiously cutting women's | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
hair. There was not enough evidence to charge him with murder. The | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
trail which Dorset police were following would take them far | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
beyond the suburbs of Dorset to these Italian market town in the | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
hills south of Naples. The police here in the 10 there were also very | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
interested in the man, and in particular his links with a murder | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
at his charge -- church in the heart of their community. Elisa | :17:31. | :17:35. | |

Barnet's death and then vanished. It was a further eight years before | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
a workman found her. She too had locks of hair nearby. Police | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
reports acknowledged that he posed a threat to women and yet the | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
church was never thoroughly searched. TRANSLATION: It was clear | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
that he had serious problems, that he was violent and disturbed. If | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
they had stopped him, then head of two children would still have their | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
mother. Outside court, police and family reflected on a traumatic | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
inquiry. This was truly an horrendous and distressing murder | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
made more compelling by the fact that the killer, Danilo Restivo, | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
comforted the children following the discovery of their mother's | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
body. Fast Elisa Claps's family await extradition, the children can | :18:23. | :18:33. | |

in May, but what does it mean for A six-month official investigation | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
into the gangs to groom children for sexual abuse has found there | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
were more than 2000 victims across the UK. The report criticised how | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
valise and other agencies deal with street grooming. UK affairs | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
correspondent Chris Buckler reports. These streets were used as a place | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
to groom vulnerable young girls. The gang were convicted six months | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
ago after being bowled driving around Derby at night offering | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
drink and drugs and enforcing the girls to have sex. When the | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
ringleaders were jailed, the former Home Secretary was criticised for | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
claiming some men of Pakistani origin saw white girls as easy meat. | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
CEOP admits that it can only gather a limited amount of information for | :19:53. | :19:59. | |
its report and that its findings are inconclusive, but of the 940 | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
identified offenders, CEOP said more than a quarter were Asian. | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
That is a high percentage in the population. 38% of offenders were | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
described as white, while the ethnic origin of others was not | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
known. Tracey had only just become a teenager when she became a victim | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
of abuse. They would start to ask me to have sex with people. If I | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
said no Waugh had an argument or part of a fight about something, | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
they would be a punishment. CEOP has concerns that, in many places, | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
that type of grooming is not being taken seriously enough. It appears | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
to us that less than half of the local safeguarding children's | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
boards are taking the necessary approach to child sexual | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
exploitation. I will be delighted if they simply do that. This | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
Barnardo's Centre in Bradford was the first to specialise in helping | :20:48. | :20:55. | |
children who have been sexually exploited. We have had a child aged | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
13 who was targeted by a number of men. She has been burned by | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
cigarettes, she has been kidnapped. She has had horrendous experiences. | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
This is far from a definitive report, but of the 2000 victims | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
identified, the vast majority were girls, and most were white. They | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
would come and because of... Leo was exploited from the age of | :21:18. | :21:22. | |

of race. -- she is Asian. I am sure it helps -- happens in towns where | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
Asians do not live. They are too focused on the subject of them | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
being Asian, when basically they are human beings, they are men who | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
have done wrong. And there is a belief that more could be done to | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
protect children and their Scottish universities are to be | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
allowed to charge students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
up to �9,000 the in fees. It could increase the cost of a four-year | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
degree in Scotland to �36,000 with students from Scotland and the EU | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
qualifying for free education. Scotland correspondent Glenn | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
Campbell reports. The cost of getting a degree from a | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
Scottish university already depends on where you come from. Of these | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
Edinburgh graduates, those from England, Wales or Northern Ireland | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
are the only ones from anywhere in the European Union who will have | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
paid tuition fees. A charge that Scottish universities will be | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
allowed to increase fivefold from 2012. We have no option but to act. | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
If we did nothing, students from England would pay only just over | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
�1,800 to attend a Scottish university. That compares to five | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
times the total, �9,000, in their home nation. Action is essential to | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
make sure that Scottish students are not simply squeezed out. So how | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
will things change Goethe mark take these three graduates, all with the | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
same degree in chemical engineering. Jack from Scotland had his fees | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
paid by the Scottish government. That will not change. It is nice to | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
be graduating with more limited debt. Under EU law, Susana from | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
Poland had to be given the same subsidy. The Scottish government is | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
trying to find a way around this to make European students pay | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
something. It is quite expensive for students in England, so I | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
applied to Scotland because I knew I did not have to pay. But the | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
government was able to judge Alexander from England �1,820 per | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
year. In future, universities will be able to increase that to a | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
maximum of �9,000 for students from the rest of the UK. In comparison | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
to the Scottish and European students, who do not pay, I find it | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
a bit strange that I am from Great Britain and I have to pay. | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
Scottish government had been considering a plan to raise the | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
cost of tuition for English, Welsh and Northern Irish students to come | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
to Scotland to �6,500 per year. But now it has decided to let some | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
universities charge more and others charge less. In other words, each | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
institution will set the fees of its choice. Universities in | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
Scotland say they will not abuse his power and price themselves out | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
of this new student market. It is the shock defeat of Wimbledon | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
this year, Roger Federer has been knocked out. France's Jo-Wilfried | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
Tsonga won after coming from two set down and will now face number | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
two seed Novak Djokovic for a place in the final. Andy Murray is on | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
court now in his quarter-final. We can get the latest from sports | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
correspondent James Pearce. So far, so good for Andy Murray. More about | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
him in a moment, but the big talking point here has been the | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
talk of Roger Federer, the first time in a grand-slam match that he | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
has won the first two sets and then lost, as Tim Franks reports. | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
Wimbledon picnic settled down for the appetiser before the Murray | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
match, but it turned into Wi-Fi said these. Six-time champion Roger | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
Federer may be Swiss, but he considers South London to be home | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
turf. He started in appropriate fashion against the Frenchman Jo- | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
Wilfried Tsonga. If this was Federer's manner, he was going to | :25:20. | :25:30. | |
:25:30. | :25:31. | ||
Said one was followed, albeit by a tie-break, which said two. Federer | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
had never lost at Wimbledon from two sets up, Tsonga decided to | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
teach us that history is bunk. Instead three, the Frenchman | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
produced some beers and tennis, breaking early and holding on. -- | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
fear some tennis. Same break, same result in number four. And then, | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
with an even earlier break in the last set, he was serving for the | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
match. The 26-year-old unleashed the eight-year-old boy. It is never | :26:03. | :26:11. | |
easy to play against Roger. It was just amazing, I am so happy. And, | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
yeah, that is crazy! Enter, after a three-hour wait, Andy Murray and | :26:17. | :26:24. | |
his blue-eyed quarter-final opponent, Feliciano Lopez, and | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
Murray, a teenager again, had announced that made him feel sick. | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
In the first set, Andy Murray produced a cross-court winner fit | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
for amateur psychoanalysts as much as tennis lovers. That would | :26:38. | :26:47. | |
Beneath those fine Mediterranean features, Lopez has a waspish left- | :26:47. | :26:55. | |
handed serve, but Murray has broken again in the second set. | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
Murray won that second set. It is currently 2-2 in the third set, | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
looking very good for Murray, but Roger Federer also won the first | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
two, so don't count your chickens quite yet. | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
Time for the weather now with Alex No counting our chickens in terms | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
of the dry weather, because there is still the possibility of a | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
shower at Wimbledon in the next hour or two. We will continue with | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
the fresher feel overnight. Temperatures on Sunday did not dip | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
below 20 degrees. Tonight, many places will see single figures, the | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
cooler weather is here and here to stay. A few showers scattered | :27:32. | :27:38. | |
across the UK, they will fizzle out overnight, but for most a dry night | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
and a cool night with single-digit temperatures in quite a few places. | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
A fresh start to Thursday, sunny for quite a few of us, but we will | :27:45. | :27:50. | |
have to watch as the shower clouds develop. Subtle changes tomorrow, | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
more of the showers across eastern areas, heavy across north-eastern | :27:54. | :27:59. | |
England. Further west, much of the South West will have a fine | :27:59. | :28:02. | |
summer's afternoon with decent spells of sunshine and temperatures | :28:02. | :28:07. | |
into the high teens. Maybe 19 degrees in Cardiff, one of two | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
scattered showers across Cardiff, but as we go through the late | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
afternoon and early-evening, a fine end to the day. It should be fine | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
across Northern Ireland. Maybe a few scattered showers but fairly | :28:18. | :28:23. | |
alive. Showers will keep going across the far north-west of | :28:23. | :28:26. | |
Scotland, heavier showers across eastern Scotland. Further south, | :28:26. | :28:30. | |
across parts of East Yorkshire and down into Lincolnshire and maybe | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
Norfolk, we could see some quite lively downpours with a risk of | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
thunder. Scattered showers across the south-east, some sunny spells, | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
temperatures up to 21 at Wimbledon, just a small chance of | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
interruptions to play. Should be fine for men's semi-final day on | :28:46. | :28:50. | |
Friday. The majority of the country looking fine on Friday, and that | :28:50. | :28:54. | |
fine weather continues into the weekend. Not glorious sunny skies | :28:54. | :28:58. | |
everywhere, but dry and bright. Pleasant conditions with | :28:58. | :29:02. | |
temperatures in the low 20s. Pollen levels are high, more about that | :29:02. | :29:07. |
