A call from the Prime Minister for Britain to find its "can-do spirit" | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
to work its way out of economic trouble. | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
He tells the Conservative Conference the country needs to be | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
energised, not paralysed by gloom and fear. Let's see an optimistic | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
future. Let us show the world some fight. Let us pull together. Let us | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
work together and let us together lead Britain to better days ahead. | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
The latest growth figures show we are all spending less. Food-wise, | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
bread and that has gone up so much, milk has gone up. You can't manage. | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
Also on tonight's programme: Amanda Knox back on home soil and speaking | :00:45. | :00:54. | |
as a free woman for the first time. Thank you to everyone who has | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
believed in me, who's defended me, who's supported my family. | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
rubbed shoulders with the rich and famous - the self-styled Lord of | :01:04. | :01:07. | |

former England fast bowler Graham Welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
David Cameron has closed the Conservative Party Conference with | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
a call for Britain to rediscover what he called its can-do optimism. | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
He said his Government was showing leadership in tough times on a day | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
when official figures showed slower growth than previously forecast. Mr | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
Cameron said it was important to tell the truth about the economy. | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
But not end up paralysed by gloom and fear. We will have more on | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
those economic figures. First, Nick Robinson on the Prime Minister's | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
call for Britain to show some fight. This report contains flash | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
photography. When the news is bleak, when times | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
are grim, what do we need from a leader? David Cameron's answer | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
today was belief in ourselves, in our country, in him. Not long ago, | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
he, they, we, thought this speech would be dominated by the riots, by | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
Britain's long, hot summer. Instead, it was overshadowed by the economic | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
storm still breaking around our heads. I know how tough things are. | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
I don't for one minute underestimate how worried people | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
feel, whether that is about making ends meet, or the state of the | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
world economy. The truth is right now, we need to be energised, not | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
paralysed by gloom and fear. Let us bring on the can-do optimism, let | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
us summon the energy and the appetite to fight for a better | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
future for our country, Great Britain. APPLAUSE His party | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
listened hard, but rarely looked as if they were energised. Perhaps it | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
was the realisation that their Government is not just struggling | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
with paying the bills for the last economic crisis, but facing a new | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
one. The threat to the world economy and to Britain is as | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
serious as in 2008 when world recession loomed. The eurozone is | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
in crisis. The French and the German economies have slowed to a | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
stand-still. Even mighty America is questioned about her debts. It is | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
an anxious time. That anxiety was increased for some by this | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
morning's headlines suggesting the Prime Minister wanted families to | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
pay off their own credit cards. Those words briefed to journalists | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
last night were never in fact delivered. His speech was changed. | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
The only way out of a debt crisis is to deal with your debts. That's | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
why households are paying down the credit card and the storecard bills. | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
So, he did not call on people to save or to stop spending. But he | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
did claim that that was what Government had to do, to bail out | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
the mistakes of the last Labour Government. Our plan is right. Our | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
plan will work. I know that you can't see it or feel it right now. | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
Slowly but surely, we are laying the solid foundations for a | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
stronger future. And the vital point is this: If you don't stick | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
with it, it won't work. Growth would come, he said, by cutting | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
business regulations here and in Brussels, by reforming welfare, by | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
launching what he called a Tory housing revolution. A leader | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
struggling with a sore throat struggled to rouse his audience. It | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
was social policy not economics that released his, their passion. | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
The apartheid between private and state education is one of the | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
biggest wasted opportunities in our country today and let it be us, the | :05:21. | :05:29. | |
Conservative Party, who helped to tear it down. APPLAUSE Standards | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
back in schools, teachers back in control, the Conservatives are back | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
in Government. They love that and the promise that his friend, the | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
Education Secretary, would end what he called the scandal of a failing | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
adoption system. His wife loved the pledge to legalise gay marriage, to | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
encourage commitment, he said. As fof his opponent, Ed Miliband, he - | :05:54. | :06:02. | |
- as for his opponent, Ed Miliband, he wasn't mentioned once. You know | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
what? We don't boo our leaders, we are proud of what they have done | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
for our party and what they have done for our country. He ended with | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
a national pep talk, a call to reject pessimism, to embrace the | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
British spirit. Let's see an optimistic future. Let us show the | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
world some fight. Let us pull together. Let us work together. Let | :06:24. | :06:32. | |
us together lead Britain to better days ahead. APPLAUSE It was an | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
invitation to keep the faith and she will and here at least they | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
will. This was less a conference speech and more a call to arms. The | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
Prime Minister is saying to the country we have been great before, | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
we can still do it again. Before then, though, Conservatives will | :06:55. | :07:03. | |
leave here preparing for difficult days ahead. | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
David Cameron's call for more optimism comes on a day when | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
Britain's growth figures have been revised down mainly because we are | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
all cutting back when we go to the shops. Official figures show | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
consumer spending has seen its biggest fall in more than two years. | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
Hugh Pym has more. Growth is lower than we thought, | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
just 0.1% between April and June. Take manufacturing and other areas | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
like financial services and the crucially important one of consumer | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
spending and you get the latest picture published today. We have | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
learned that the consumer economy is stalling with price inflation | :07:38. | :07:46. | |
running well ahead of wage rises and so squeezing budgets. This | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
woman can tell you all about that. She has four children to feed and | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
it is a real struggle. Things are really tight. Anything, you look at | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
anything and even the gas and the electric, it is hard. You are | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
looking at �20 a week on things like that. Food-wise, even like | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
bread and that, it's gone up so much, milk has gone up. It is just | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
- you can't manage. Tesco and Sainsbury's know a lot about our | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
buying habits. Today both reported figures and gave their views on | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
shoppers' struggles. Tesco is doing well overseas, but UK sales are | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
down and the boss told me higher petrol prices were taking their | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
toll on family budgets. We have got a startling statistic the first | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
half of the year, last six months, �750 million spent on filling the | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
petrol tanks up by our customers. That is money that they can't | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
afford to spend on other things for their home and for their every day | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
needs. At Sainsbury's, sales were up, but they have noticed customers | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
are tightening their belts. If the Government wants people to pay off | :08:53. | :09:03. | |
debts, the message is, it is already happening. We have seen | :09:03. | :09:11. | |
customers do this for a long while. Of course, what might be good for | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
individual consumers or households might not be such good news for the | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
wider economy. If lots of people start paying down their debts and | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
spending less on goods and services, that is not going to help the | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
recovery. It could make an already weak growth outlook even worse. | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
It wasn't all doom and gloom in the months between April and June. | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
Household spending was down 0.8%, but manufacturing output saw an | :09:35. | :09:43. | |
increase of 0.2%, service industries registered a 0.2% rise. | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
There is more to the economy than just shopping but consumer spending | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
is a vital part of it and the recovery will depend on whether | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
that spending can pick up again. We can join Nick in Manchester. We | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
seem to start the day with the Prime Minister telling us we should | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
all pay off our credit cards. Then we ended up with what was | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
effectively a big pep talk? never intended us to start the day | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
that way. It was never I am told meant to be an instruction for | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
people to pay off their credit cards, to save and not to spend. It | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
was meant as a description of what was happening. I think what we saw | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
today is the fact that much of what will really affect the real economy | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
could not really be debated here, couldn't be discussed here. The | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
Prime Minister is waiting, not for what he can do, but for what the | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
Bank of England will do, probably tomorrow, to see whether it prints | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
more money, so-called quantitative easing. He is waiting to see what | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
the eurozone will do. Will they rescue the banks that are in | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
trouble? We are waiting too for much more detailed announcements | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
from the Chancellor to come next month in his autumn statement when | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
we hear the details of his plan to get money in loans to small | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
businesses and for that so-called Tory housing revolution. While we | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
wait, a little nervously, it seems to me what the Prime Minister | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
thought was worth doing is trying to invoke the spirit of the | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
Olympics and hope that would cheer us all up. | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
A tearful Amanda Knox says he is overwhelmed at being back on US | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
soil after her acquittal for the murder of Meredith Kercher in Italy. | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
In her first public comment as a free woman, Amanda Knox, who spent | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
four years in jail, spoke to supporters in her home city of | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
Seattle. David Willis was there and his report contains flash | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
photography. Acquitted of murder and now back | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
home, quite a week for Amanda Knox. It will wonder that she's | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
struggling to take it all in. They are reminding me to speak in | :11:52. | :12:00. | |
English. I'm having problems with that. I'm really overwhelmed right | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
now. I was looking down from the aeroplane and it seemed like | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
everything wasn't real. What's important for me to say is just | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
thank you to everyone who's believed in me, who's defended me, | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
who's supported my family. My family's the most important thing | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
to me right now and I want to go and be with them. So thank you for | :12:28. | :12:36. | |
being there for me. APPLAUSE Relief on the part of Amanda Knox's family | :12:36. | :12:43. | |
that she's back home, but as for Meredith Kercher, Amanda Knox's | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
lawyer stressed that she and Amanda had been friends and she urged Miss | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
Knox's supporters to remember Meredith in their prayers. That was | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
followed by a plea to the media for Amanda Knox to be left alone, to | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
rebuild her life, a request which may not be granted. Although her | :12:59. | :13:06. | |
father insists she has no plans to sell her story. No, it's a matter | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
of giving Amanda some time to kind of readjust to being able to be | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
outside and do what she wants, hopefully when she wants. Although | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
the emphasis is on getting back to normal here in the sleepy Seattle | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
suburb where she grew up, it's thought that eventually Amanda Knox | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
may have little option but to sell her story in order to meet legal | :13:28. | :13:37. | |
bills estimated at �750,000. Amanda Knox's family had asked people here | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
to play down the homecoming nature of her release out of respect for | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
Meredith Kercher. The view here is that Amanda Knox, far from being | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
guilty of Meredith's murder, was the victim of a massive miscarriage | :13:50. | :13:58. | |
of justice. The International Monetary Fund has | :13:58. | :14:06. | |
warned a global recession next year can't be ruled out. It is as it | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
says economic growth in European countries is in danger of petering | :14:11. | :14:18. | |
out. Fears are being raised over a | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
blurring of the lines between private and NHS care after news | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
emerged of GPs prompting patients to go private. A York-based | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
practice has written to some of its patients offering them a range of | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
minor treatments privately claiming they are not funded by the local | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
NHS. Our health correspondent Dominic Hughes has the story. | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
Pat Summers needed a small surgical procedure, not essential or life- | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
threatening, but something she would rather have done. So when her | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
doctor told her the operation was no longer available on the NHS and | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
she would have to pay, what did she think? She said, "We can't do it | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
for nothing any more. We are going to, we can do this smaller ops" and | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
you have the service there, why not use it. I was quite happy. This is | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
what around 30 patients were sent, a letter saying their minor | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
surgical procedure was no longer available on the NHS and they now | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
had the option to have them completed as a private patient. | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
Accompanying this was a price list for treatments at the clinic which | :15:21. | :15:31. | |
:15:31. | :15:39. | ||
is owned by the practice itself. And in Haxby village, there was | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
some concern over patients paying for services that were once | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
available on the NHS. Don't you think we are paying for at National | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
Insurance and everything? It is getting a little bit ridiculous now. | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
I think it is symptomatic of the pressures the NHS is under. Wartime | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
not convinced about is the government's plans will do anything. | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
The government's reforms of the NHS in England put GPs at the heart of | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
the commissioning process, but doctors here have set up a private | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
practice to fill the gap caused by services being cut in the financial | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
squeeze. Many are concerned that if doctors up are responsible for | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
buying and selling services, that could create a conflict of interest. | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
This process where doctors can have private companies has not been you, | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
it is about managing those conflicts of interest and making | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
sure we are clear about how we manage that. At the surgery, they | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
say they have done nothing wrong, but the proposed changes to the NHS | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
in England means its relationship with private companies will come | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
under closer scrutiny. Our top story tonight: | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
The Prime Minister calls for Britain to find its can-do spirit. | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
Coming up: Rescuers speak of their desperate | :17:03. | :17:12. | |
attempts to save a two-tonne Later on the news channel, more one | :17:12. | :17:15. | |

He rubbed shoulders with the rich and famous, but now Edward | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
Davenport has been exposed as a crook. The self-styled Lord of the | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
Manor was convicted back in May of defrauding dozens of victims of | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
millions of pounds. Reporting restrictions have only just been | :17:40. | :17:50. | |

himself a lord and loves to boast about the form -- and stars, rock | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
stars and royalty who have partied at his grand mansion in central | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
London. I am Edward Davenport, welcome to my website. His home was | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
the location for films like the King's Speech. As entertainment | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
business was legitimate, his venture into loans anything but. | :18:14. | :18:21. | |
The court heard that between 2007 and 2009 alone, Davenport's firm | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
Gresham offered alone more than half a billion pounds in return for | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
a series of security deposits. Not a single penny was paid out. It is | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
a practice known as advance fee fraud. In court, the prosecutors | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
said Gresham's public image was entirely false. Essentially | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
worthless. It's only business was fraud. Elizabeth Emanuel, who | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
designed it wedding dress for Princess Diana, was one of his | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
victims. She lost �5,000 on the promise of a loan of 200,000. | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
is this website with pictures of Edward Davenport with very famous | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
people, a lot of them credible people. The list goes on and on. | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
There is nobody that hasn't been photographed with Edward Davenport. | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
The Serious Fraud Office says she was one of more than 50 victims who | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
between them paid out �4.5 million. We had victims who had nervous | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
breakdowns, others resulted in bankruptcy. In short, numerous | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
people have had their life-savings stripped away from them as a result | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
of this enterprise. The man who promoted his celebrity connections | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
was described by the Fraud Office as cynical, bogus and greedy. His | :19:42. | :19:47. | |

was flying over Manhattan on a dream sightseeing tour when the | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
helicopter plunged into New York's East River. Two other passengers | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
were seriously injured and are in a critical condition in hospital. | :20:01. | :20:11. | |

Laura Trevelyan joins us now from It was a clear autumn day just like | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
today when Sonia Marra was celebrating her 40th birthday with | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
family and friends, but that helicopter ride ended with her | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
death and three of the passengers injured. | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
This is the helicopter which spun out of control, landed upside down | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
shortly after taking off from heliport by Manhattan's East River. | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
The experienced pilot, a friend of the passengers, tried to turn back | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
after experiencing mechanical problems, but he couldn't make it. | :20:43. | :20:52. | |
It was like a kick thumped, my window... I had a very loud. Police | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
officers on a counter-terrorism drill nearby leapt into the water. | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
The emergency workers were on the scene in seconds. A frantic rescue | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
effort was under way. The pilot and three passengers were clinging on | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
to the helicopter. They were hanging on to the rails. I have a | :21:08. | :21:17. | |
feeling they took in a lot of water. They were shipwrecked almost. On | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
the rails of the helicopter. dramatic scenes, emergency workers | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
rescued the pilot and pulled the three passengers who managed to get | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
out of the helicopter to safety. But Sonia Marra, celebrating her | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
40th birthday with this flight, was trapped in the submerged helicopter | :21:35. | :21:42. | |
and died. Her mother, stepfather and partner survived. New York's | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
Mayor expressed his sorrow for the family's loss. Her Sowler prayers | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
are with the deceased and our prayers are also with those three | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
people in hospital. In the wake of the crash by this heliport, | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
questions are being asked about the number of helicopters in New York's | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
skies. One lawmaker has called on the aviation authorities to look at | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
whether tourist helicopters should even be allowed to fly out of | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
Manhattan. The wreckage of the helicopter has been pulled out of | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
the East River. Safety officials have begun to investigate what | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
turned a celebratory family trip into a tragedy. | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
Investigators are looking at whether Rough winds could have been | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
a factor in this crash. Thank you. | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
The trial of two Pakistani Test cricketers accused of taking bribes | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
to bowl no-balls during during a Test match against England has | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
begun. Our sports correspondent James Pearce is at Southwark Crown | :22:40. | :22:49. | |
Court. What did the court hear today? The allegations centre | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
around the Test series between England and Pakistan last year, in | :22:52. | :22:59. | |
particular the match at Lord's. The prosecutor said the case reveals a | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
depressing tale of rampant corruption at the heart of | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
international cricket, with the key players being members of the | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
Pakistan team. The jury was also told about a meeting between the | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
player's agent and an undercover reporter from the News of the World | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
at which the agent said it would cost about �400,000 to throw a | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
Twenty20 match, about �1 million to throw a Test match, saying he had | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
six members of the Pakistan team under his control. Both men deny | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
the charges. Thank you. Bath A 60-foot whale which became | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
stranded on a beach in the Western Isles has died. Volunteers | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
attempted to refloat it, but rescuers said the sheer size and | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
weight of the mammal meant the chances of saving it were slim. | :23:44. | :23:54. | |
On a remote beach on a Hebridean island, volunteers attempt to save | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
a huge Wales are not native to these shallow waters. Its eyes | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
slowly opened as they douse it with water and try to keep it calm. | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
Rescuers had hoped to save this creature of the deep, but weighing | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
many tonnes, its chances of surviving were always very small. | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
When you get these massive animals coming anywhere near land, if they | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
touch down on a beach somewhere, their own body weight will work | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
against them because when they are not supported by the water, | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
internal organs start to get crushed. There have been other | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
stranded as recently. Earlier this year a pod of pilot whales also | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
became strapped -- trapped in South Lewis. Most found their way back to | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
the boil water. And in July, an even larger pod of 60 Wales became | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
stranded for of Sutherland in the north of Scotland. 16 perished. | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
may look as if there are a lot of standings, but if you look at the | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
records through time, it is probably not unusual. But we always | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
have to take care and watch carefully just in case there does | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
become a grouping of standings and that might be the case that there | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
is a problem. It is possible the whale will be buried in the sand | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
where it was found. As nature reclaim as one of its most | :25:11. | :25:19. | |
magnificent creatures, experts will magnificent creatures, experts will | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
be trying to work out why it died. If time for a look at the weather. | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
Wind and rain through the next few days, plenty of action. It's a cold | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
fronts spreading its way down through the country. Lively bursts | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
of rain this evening reaching the South East later. The cold front | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
will introduce much chillier air later in the night and a rash of | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
blustery showers to the north and west. Temperatures will be well | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
down, particularly in the north. It will be a chilly des. For a shock | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
to the system for parts of the south and east. Blustery winds and | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
they will carry a number of showers. Initially across North and western | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
parts of the UK, but those winds will send a showers south and east. | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
The further north and west you go, the heavier the showers. As we go | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
into the afternoon, we are expecting a group of more prolonged | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
showers to develop over western Scotland and Northern Ireland and | :26:16. | :26:25. | |
through the Irish Sea. Very squally winds, possibly up to 60 mph. Some | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
fund and some like that and some hail, awful thoughts going on. -- | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
some lightning. Temperatures in the low teens. A chilly day tomorrow | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
and we keep that theme going as we going to Thursday night and Friday. | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
Most of the showers will ease off by Friday and hopefully the worst | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
of the winds will die down. A brighter day and a crisp end to the | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
working week. What about the weekend? It will start of pretty | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
chilly. It will cloud over as well and eventually we will see | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
and eventually we will see outbreaks of rain developing in the | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
north and spreading south. Normal service has resumed! | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
A reminder of the top story. The Prime Minister calls for | :27:10. | :27:14. |
