New revelations in the News of the World hacking controversy. | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
Allegations that Milly Dowler's phone was targeted. | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
In the days after Milly disappeared, friends and family left desperate | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
messages. Accusation that's they were intercepted illegally. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
Private investigator Glenn Mulcaire was employed by the News of the | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
World. Dowler dull's -- Milly Dowler's family have issued a | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
statement. The fact they could act in a heinous way, they could have | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
jeopardised a police investigation and gave them false hope is | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
despicable. The cost of caring for the elderly, an official report | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
wants a cap on how much families have to pay to look after their | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
loved ones. It's left to people like me to struggle along as best | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
you can. And there are lots of us doing it. It is incredibly | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
frustrating. A British soldier has gone missing in Afghanistan. A | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
massive air and ground search is under wai. | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
-- under way. Aid workers launch an emergency | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
appeal as east Africa's worst drought for 60 years leaves nine | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
million hungry. The United Nations say this is not | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
a famine yet, but it could be. At the moment, they're classifying it | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
as a humanitarian emergency, a situation which they say is rapidly | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
deteriorating. Another day, another location, | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
thousands gather to welcome Kate and William on the fifth day of | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
their Canadian tour. Later, I'll have all the sport, as | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
we hear from the world number one, Novak Djokovic, on winning | :01:45. | :01:55. | |

Wimbledon and his advice for Andy Good evening. Welcome to the BBC's | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
news at six. Despicable, that's how Milly Dowler's parents have reacted | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
after police told them they were investigating allegation that's the | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
News of the World intercepted their daughter's phone in the days after | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
she disappeared. Police are looking into claims that Glenn Mulcaire, a | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
private investigator, working forts paper, listened to messages left by | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
desperate friends and family. There's been no comment from news | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
group newspapers, publishers of the News of the World. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
Milly Dowler, the teenager who disappeared in the blink of an eye. | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
Her killer was only found guilty at the Old Bailey two weeks ago, but | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
now it's possible a newspaper may have been guilty of intruding into | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
her privacy, even as the police searched for her. In the days after | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
she went missing, Surrey Police kept her pay-as-you-go phone, | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
topped up with credit in case she switch today on. This evening the | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
Guardian says it has a well placed source who alleged that Glenn | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
Mulcaire, an investigator paid bit News of the World, accessed phone | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
messages on Milly's mobile. It's claims that because the phone's | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
account was active and able to receive voice messages, it became | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
full and no more messages could be left. The Guardian says Mulcaire | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
deleted some of them, leaving space so he could intercept further voice | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
mail. For the Dowler family it appeared Milly herself might have | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
erased the messages. It gave them hope she was alive. That was not to | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
be. It's distress heaped upon tragedy to learn that the News of | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
the World have no humanity at such a terrible time. The fact they were | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
prepared to act in such a heinous way, that could have jeopardised | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
the investigation and gave them false hope is despicable. You have | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
to ask the question - who was at News of the World thinking it was | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
appropriate to hack into the phone of a missing young girl and what | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
was Glenn Mulcaire thinking of at the time to take those | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
instructions? At the time this was alleged to have happened, Rebekah | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
Brooks, now the News International chief executive, was editor of the | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
News of the World. It was a paper that campaigned for the naming and | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
shaming of convicted paedophiles. Neither News International or Glenn | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
Mulcaire has responded to these allegations. Milly Dowler's case is | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
just one part of the ongoing police investigation into phone hacking. | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
The Metropolitan Police said inquiries were ongoing. | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
Tom's with me now. Have the publishers of the News of the World | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
reacted to this? This is an ongoing story. Literally in the last minute | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
or two we've had these words from News International, "We have been | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
cooperating fully with operation wheating since our voluntary | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
disclose newer January restarted the investigation into illegal | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
voice mail interception. This particular case is clearly a | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
development of great concern and we will be conducting our own | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
inquiries as a result. We will obviously cooperate fully with any | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
police requests on this should we be asked." These are very serious | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
allegations. There will be questions asked about whether the | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
police investigation itself was hampered because police were | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
watching this phone very closely to work out what was happening. Any | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
tampering with it will have been difficult for them. Tom, thanks | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
very much. Let's talk to our political editor, | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
Nick Robinson, now. What political significance, if any, are these | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
latest revelations going to have? think overall the significance is | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
this: When the hacking allegations first came out, they didn't get a | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
lot of attention. Some people regarded them as an obscure | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
argument within the media. Then they got more profile because | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
celebrities were involved. I suspect there are plenty of people | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
at home who are not exactly gripped by this story. The shocking news | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
now that it may be that a victim of a terrible crime had her phone | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
hacked will shove it right up the news agenda and into the date-to- | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
day concerns. Why does that matter for Government? Long-term, because | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
David Cameron has connections with News International. Secondly, | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
because the Government is now taking a very sensitive decision | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
about whether to allow the takeover of BSkyB and some people are | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
already arguing they should not. I should say that my information on | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
that is that they regard it as illegal to take this sort of factor | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
into account when considering the issue of BSkyB, because the only | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
thing they are supposed to take into account is not whether you | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
like or dislike Rupert Murdoch or what his firms have done, but | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
whether it would destroy what is called pleurality, the number of | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
different voices in the media. I think it means that it is more | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
likely that the Prime Minister is asked for a statement on all this. | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
One last thought is, I've been talking to someone senior at News | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
International. They're insisting what lies behind that statement | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
that you've just put out is real shock from them, that this was | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
taking place. Apparently, what it currently happening is that the | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
police are finding information from Glenn Mulcaire's notebook, they are | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
informing people who may have been victims of phone hacking. Then it | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
finds its way into the public domain. They didn't know about this | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
either, or so they say. Thank you. An official report into | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
care for the elderly in England has recommended that there should be a | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
limit on how much families have to pay. At the moment many fear | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
they'll have to use all their savings or sell their homes to fund | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
care. The Government's welcomed the review and rejected suggestion it's | :07:54. | :08:02. | |
will be shelfed on grounds of cost. One in four babies born today can | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
expect to live to 100. That may bring many joys, but as we age, we | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
need more help and the difficult question is who pays for that care? | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
Hilary Breakwell is 86 and has Alzheimer's. It's her daughter who | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
cares for her, looking after her every need 24 hours a day, from | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
helping her wash, to cooking and cleaning. Hilary's struggling, but | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
gets no help from the social care system. And in future, if her | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
mother goes into a residential home, the house would be sold to meet the | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
bills, leaving her homeless. people are not seen as interesting | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
or a priority. So it's left to people like me to struggle along as | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
best you can. There are lots of us doing it. It is incredibly | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
frustrating. Today's review aims to give people certainty over what | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
they might have to pay for care. It says no-one should have to pay more | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
than a suggested �35,000 during their lifetime for residential and | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
home care. After that, the state takes over. Currently anyone with | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
savings and assets, including their house of just over �23,000 has to | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
fund them self-in residential care. It raises that threshold to | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
�100,000. There would be accommodation and food charges in | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
care homes, capped at between �7,000-�10,000 a year. At the | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
moment if they're unlucky and have significant care costs, they're not | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
supported by the state, nor can they get private sector financial | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
protection. So there's no protection against this major risk. | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
It's the only big risk we face of which that's truth. We need the | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
state to step in and provide reassurance so people know the | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
worst case is something they can manage. In Scotland social care is | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
generally free. Northern Ireland means tests for residential care. | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
Wales has a similar system to England. Reform of the English | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
system is now long overdue. Talk to almost anyone who is involved in | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
social care in one way or another, they describe a system under | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
pressure and in crisis. The Dilnot Commission has offered its solution | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
- the question is what happens next? And that will be down to the | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
Government. The commission says currently its changes would add | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
�1.7 billion to the social care bill and that would rise. But it's | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
clear it will be a fight to get extra money. The commission | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
recognised that implementing their reforms would have significant | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
costs, which the Government will need to consider against other | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
funding priorities and calls on constrained resources. | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
Government has promised legislation in the spring, but there are real | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
concerns that the time table may drift, which would worry many like | :10:40. | :10:47. | |
Hilary, who are coping with the pressures now. | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
A British soldier has gone missing in southern Afghanistan. A massive | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
search, involving aircraft and ground troops, has been launched, | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
after he dais peered from his base in central Helmand. He left the | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
base alone, in the early hours of this morning, something described | :11:02. | :11:10. | |
as "highly unusual". This is how British soldiers | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
usually travel in Helmand, in groups, never alone, with good | :11:15. | :11:23. | |
reason. We joined a patrol there last week, not far from where the | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
soldier went missing today. The British Army's had two summers of | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
hard fighting in hell mapbld. They hope they have pushed the Taliban | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
out of places like this. But the insurgents are still here, on the | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
fringes of the patrols or hidden among the local people. That's why | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
it's so inexplicable that anyone would go out alone, yet that seems | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
to be what happened. The MoD says the soldier was reported missing in | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
the early hours. A Taliban spokesman said he was killed in | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
cross-fire, as troops attempted a rescue. NATO could not confirm any | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
gun battle. There's now an extensive search operation. The | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
Prime Minister was in Helmand today to discuss transition to control by | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
the Afghan Security Forces. The schedule was severely curtailed | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
because every single aircraft was needed for the search. Today's | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
incident is hugely regrettable. All day my thoughts and prayers have | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
been with that young man and his family. I just said when I got here, | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
don't bother about flying me around, throw everything you've got at | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
trying to find this person. We were called by a Taliban local commander | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
in the area where this happened, before any official announcement | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
was made. He told us insurgents had killed the soldier because they | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
couldn't retreat with a captive once NATO started attacking. | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
That's at odds with the Taliban spokesman's statement that the | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
soldier was shot in cross-fire. Both accounts claim the soldier is | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
dead. The search forts missing soldier was carried out here in the | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
area known as the Green Zone, on a day when the Prime Minister arrived | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
to trumpet the British Army's progress in central Helmand, what | :13:09. | :13:18. | |
happened here was a reminder of how dangerous the Taliban still remain. | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
We can speak to our deputy political editor James Landale, | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
who's been travelling with the Prime Minister in Afghanistan. As | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
Paul was saying there, a real reminder of the dangers our troops | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
are facing on the very day the Prime Minister is there. | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
Yeah, and therefore hugely unfortunate timing for the Prime | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
Minister. He was here to assess what he think sz real progress on | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
the ground and to have this happen. What was interesting, on the same | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
day that all this happened, the Prime Minister, as well as talking | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
about the progress he believes is being made in training the Afghan | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
Security Forces here, he also told us that the number of British | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
troops he wants to withdraw next year will be quite modest. He said | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
there will be no radical change in numbers before the end of next | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
summer's fighting season. He will give a precise number later this | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
week. My understanding is it's around the 500 mark. The Prime | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
Minister is still determined to get all British combat troops out of | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
Afghanistan by the end of 2014. But he is now clearly heeding the | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
warnings of commanders on the ground saying, you don't have to | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
rush it. If you do, you will lift the pressure on the Taliban when | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
the sheer weight of numbers in Helmand are really making a | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
difference. Thank you. The cost to taxpayers of | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
funding the Queen's spending fell by �1.8 million last year. | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
According to Buckingham Palace, there was a drop of more than 5% to | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
just over �32 million. Much of the savings came from reducing the bill | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
for maintenance of the royal residences and a pay freeze for | :14:48. | :14:56. | |
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are having a relaxing day on Prince | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
Edward Island, the smallest province of Canada, on the 5th day | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
of their tour of the country. They arrived in a horse-drawn coach to | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
the delight of thousands of well- wishers, who waited patiently for | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
hours to see the royal couple. Nicholas Witchell is there. A much | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
more relaxed mood today. Not the greatest of weather. We are on the | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
Atlantic coast. This afternoon, Williams spent more than an hour | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
learning a new search-and-rescue helicopter flying technique. We | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
will see a little bit of that any moment. The day began in the | :15:29. | :15:38. | |
capital of Prince Edward Island, Unsurprisingly, on an island named | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
after Queen Victoria's father, this is a place which is keen on all | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
things royal. Yet, unfortunately for Prince Edward Island, not many | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
royals ever get here. Today, the island hit the jackpot when the | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
most sought after royals and the world didn't just come to town, | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
they rode through it in a horse- drawn carriage. Excited? Well, you | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
could say that they were. The townspeople, that is. And William | :16:05. | :16:13. | |
and Kate looked pretty pleased to be here as well. They got out of | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
the carriage for a walkabout, outstretched hands by the score. As | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
many shaken as possible. And what is this? Well, it is Kate TAMBA | :16:23. | :16:30. | |
baby. -- Kate and a baby. And moments later, William and a baby. | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
And then William and Kate and the baby. You can just guess the sort | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
of speculation that these pictures will give rise to. By now, the | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
island was feeling the effects of being on the Atlantic coast. It was | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
raining and blustery. A good moment for a flight lieutenant William | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
Wales of the RAF search-and-rescue service to demonstrate his flying | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
skills. The Canadians have a special technique for search-and- | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
rescue. They land the helicopter on the water. So, cross your fingers, | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
because the second in line to the throne is about to try it for the | :17:04. | :17:12. | |
first time. The approach was steady and then splashdown. For a moment, | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
it looked like Flight Lieutenant Wales was joining the submarine | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
service. But all was well. Sighs of relief all round. There were more | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
than a dozen landings in all. At this rate, one wonders what the | :17:25. | :17:33. | |
Duke of Cambridge will be trying Guess what, that's precisely what | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
he did go on to do. A Dragon Boat race, to be precise. Both he and | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
Kate participated in the Dragon Boat race, along this lake, a few | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
minutes ago. Kate was initially Steering. But then I think she | :17:50. | :17:53. | |

These scenes of hunger and despair are happening right now in the Horn | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
of Africa, where several countries are experiencing the worst drought | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
in 60 years. At least 9 million people are being affected by the | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
crisis. The rains have failed for the last two years. Crops and | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
livestock have died, leaving people with no food. The charity Save the | :19:27. | :19:33. | |

this is not a famine yet, but it could be. At the moment they are | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
classifying it as a humanitarian emergency, a situation which they | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
say is rapidly deteriorating. It has not rained properly around the | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
region for two years running. These people are facing their worst | :21:26. | :21:31. | |

spending cuts are having across Britain? Well, fuller last few | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
months we have been following what has been happening in the City of | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
Coventry. Is the private sector stepping in to create the jobs | :21:59. | :22:09. | |
:22:09. | :22:10. | ||
We are back, with the workers of Coventry. This city is like a Mini | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
UK economy. They are trying to find out if the job losses on this side, | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
the public sector, can be soaked up by the other side, the private | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
sector. So, what has been happening? We caught up with two of | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
the group. Trevor Bailey has been creating jobs. Paul Odera has been | :22:29. | :22:37. | |
on the receiving end of public sector cuts. Paul is a community | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
worker. But funding is being cut back. Most days he is volunteering | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
instead of earning a. I am the sole breadwinner in our family. It's | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
pretty uncomfortable. I would imagine there are a lot of people | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
in my position. It's not looking pretty out there. Here is why he is | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
worried. We have learned that in the space of 12 months 724 public | :23:05. | :23:13. | |
sector jobs have been lost across Coventry. Here at Coventry airfield, | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
Trevor Bailey is doing what the Government needs, creating new | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
private sector jobs. His got 15 new workers to help get more visitors | :23:23. | :23:30. | |
for these vintage planes. It's an absolutely of faith, no getting | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
away from it. Entrepreneurially, you've just got to have this vision, | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
this is what it is about, there is a market, people will want to come | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
and enjoy it and they will want to come back. This isn't the only | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
company in Coventry that is creating new jobs. Over the last | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
three months, from the dairy group of businesses that we have been | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
following, -- the varied group of businesses we have been following, | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
half of taking on new staff. But Coventry's economy is not taking | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
off just yet. It is very finely balanced. We are a resilient | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
economy, but, equally, things are still very fragile. Although the | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
order books are looking good and it's great to hear the private | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
sector talk about growth in jobs, we do need to remember that we only | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
seem marginal growth so far and there was a lot more to do to see | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
Coventry, and I'm sure elsewhere in the country, back up there in terms | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
of a real growth economy. So, it's too early to say how things will | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
play out. This side, the private sector, is creating some jobs. But, | :24:29. | :24:38. | |
like everywhere else, Coventry has And you can get more details on | :24:38. | :24:47. | |
what is happening with public- Now, it is a rare tribute paid only | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
to the most revered of American presidents. Today, Ronald Reagan | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
joined the likes of Eisenhower and Roosevelt in having a statue to his | :24:55. | :25:05. | |
:25:05. | :25:08. | ||
memory in London. The unveiling Its July 4th, it Independence Day | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
in America. But this is London, not Washington. The flags out in | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
Grosvenor Square to celebrate former President Ronald Reagan. A | :25:17. | :25:24. | |
new statue is ready to be unveiled. Today revives memories of an | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
extraordinary political partnership between President Reagan and the | :25:27. | :25:34. | |
then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, in the 1980s. Both were | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
outspoken cold-war warriors, hugely controversial figures. Critics of | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
President Reagan hated his rearming of America to challenge Moscow. But | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
he also negotiated arms reductions with President Gorbachev. And he | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
ignored the charges of dangerous naivety when he said this in front | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
of the Berlin Wall more than two years before it finally fell. | :25:57. | :26:05. | |
Gorbachev, tear down this wall. Berlin Wall did come down, of | :26:05. | :26:12. | |
course. Today, Britain saluted Ronald Reagan. The Foreign | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
Secretary brought a message from Lady Thatcher, who hope to attend | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
but was not well enough to come. Ronald Reagan was a great President | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
and a great man. A true leader for our times. He held clear principles | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
and acted upon them with purpose. And Ronald Regan's legacy was | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
hailed by Condoleezza Rice as an example for today, particularly in | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
the Middle East. It gives us hope and optimism to continue to stand | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
for those who are still trapped into money. The reputation of some | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
political leaders fades with time. But for Ronald Reagan it seems to | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
be the reverse. Critic's during his presidency often regarded him as a | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
second division actor who had no business trying to play a part on | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
the world stage. Those critics are much less vocal now. Ronald Reagan | :27:04. | :27:12. | |
has certainly found a place in the Just time for the weather now. | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
A nice day today. But this summer nothing seems to last more than a | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
few days. The weather is on the slide and it will be turning wet | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
and cooler. You can see where it is coming from, cloud careering in | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
from the West. For the time being it is dry out there. It should be a | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
fine enough evening, pleasantly warm. Later in the night, rain will | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
arrive across Northern Ireland, Wales and the far south-west of | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
England by about dawn. Temperature is not really an issue overnight. | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
Not particularly cold, never more 13 degrees will be typically. A wet | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
start to the day across south-west England. 8 o'clock in the morning, | :27:46. | :27:50. | |
Devon and Cornwall see some outbreaks of rain, heavy bursts for | :27:50. | :27:56. | |
a time. Rain pushing into good part of Wales. Heavy bursts for a time | :27:56. | :27:58. | |
across Northern Ireland. That rain will not last forever. Things will | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
improve from the West later on in the morning. The rain is pushing | :28:03. | :28:06. | |
into western fringes of Scotland. A good part of Scotland will start on | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
a dry note. Bright this in more eastern areas. Much of northern | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
England is getting out to a fine enough start. Eastern parts of | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
England, down towards the south- east, the lion's share of the | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
sunshine. It's going to warm up quite nicely across this part of | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
the world. One warm warm day. Elsewhere will be cloudy. There | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
will be some rain. That will gradually move further eastwards as | :28:28. | :28:33. | |
we go through the day. With the cloud and rain it will be notably | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
cooler and today across a good part of the UK. It typically will be | :28:36. | :28:41. | |
held in the mid- to high teens. For one more day across East Anglia and | :28:41. | :28:45. | |
south-east it will be warm. 27, maybe 28 degrees in north London. | :28:45. | :28:50. | |
If you're heading to Hampton Court Flower Show, it should be fine | :28:50. | :28:53. | |
before the rain arrives later. That sets the scene for the next few | :28:53. | :28:58. | |
days. Much cooler, and we will all see heavy bursts of rain at times. | :28:58. | :29:03. | |
