Danger of another recession in Europe - a stark warning from the

:00:06.:00:11.

EU's top economy official. Growth in the whole eurozone is at a

:00:11.:00:15.

stand-still, threatening Britain. Tonight, a call for action from

:00:15.:00:19.

David Cameron. If the leaders of the eurozone want to save their

:00:19.:00:23.

currency, then they, together with the institutions of the eurozone,

:00:23.:00:28.

must act now. Also on tonight's programme: More

:00:28.:00:31.

questions for James Murdoch on the phone-hacking scandal as he's

:00:31.:00:36.

accused of behaving like an underworld gang boss. You must be

:00:36.:00:41.

the first Mafia boss in history, you didn't know he was running a

:00:41.:00:44.

criminal enterprise. Please, I think that is inappropriate. Mr

:00:44.:00:48.

Chairman? A first for the NHS - a private company takes over the

:00:48.:00:53.

running of a struggling hospital in Cambridgeshire.

:00:53.:00:57.

So their own ground at St James' Park... What's in a name? Newcastle

:00:57.:01:02.

United fans are furious after the owner re-brands St James' Park.

:01:02.:01:08.

Imagine someone doing this to your cat. Mowgli's owner wants the

:01:08.:01:11.

public to help hunt down the culprit.

:01:11.:01:15.

I will be here with the sport on the BBC News Channel as John Terry

:01:15.:01:18.

takes his place in the England squad. How do his team-mates feel

:01:18.:01:28.
:01:28.:01:40.

about the racist allegations faced Good evening. Welcome to the BBC

:01:40.:01:43.

News at Six. For the first time, the EU's Economy Commissioner has

:01:43.:01:47.

admitted that Europe could be in danger of a double-dip recession.

:01:47.:01:51.

The warning comes as the growth forecast for the EU including

:01:51.:01:55.

Britain has been slashed. Europe is Britain's biggest trading partner

:01:55.:02:00.

and today, David Cameron warned that leaders had to act now to

:02:00.:02:03.

prevent a new financial crisis. The longer the delay, the greater the

:02:04.:02:13.

danger, he said. We didn't have to travel far this

:02:13.:02:19.

afternoon to find concern, anxiety about what's happening in Europe.

:02:19.:02:25.

I'm in the middle of the crisis, I guess. I'm worried about my salary,

:02:25.:02:29.

about my mortgage. Further along the road, to the self-styled heart

:02:29.:02:35.

of Europe, the Commission, and inside today the top euro official

:02:35.:02:39.

here. I'm looking forward to the day when I can again bring you some

:02:39.:02:44.

good news. Not today, though. With his latest forecast for the EU's

:02:45.:02:51.

economy. This forecast is in fact the last wake-up call, the recovery

:02:51.:02:57.

in the European Union has now come to a stand-still and there is a

:02:57.:03:00.

risk of a new recession. That should strike fear into the heart

:03:00.:03:05.

of all of us. It had been hoped that economic growth would help

:03:05.:03:11.

Europe recover from its debt crisis. Now, that's no longer a solution.

:03:11.:03:15.

The heart of old Brussels gleams with the memory of more prosperous

:03:15.:03:20.

times. But this is a continent desperately short of ideas on how

:03:20.:03:24.

to emerge from its current economic problems. With no growth and a

:03:24.:03:29.

deepening debt crisis, politicians can't see a way forward. The

:03:29.:03:32.

strains are really beginning to show within the eurozone. Some

:03:32.:03:35.

countries argues there needs to be ever-deeper integration to make

:03:35.:03:40.

sure this can never happen again. Others say the euro cannot survive

:03:40.:03:45.

in its present form. There is only one certainty - this is a full-

:03:45.:03:51.

blown crisis and nobody so far has a workable solution. In debt-ridden

:03:51.:03:54.

Italy, support for the Prime Minister is fracturing. Fellow

:03:54.:03:59.

eurozone countries want to see the back of Silvio Berlusconi. For the

:03:59.:04:03.

UK, an Italian collapse could trigger a euro collapse that would

:04:03.:04:08.

harm everyone because our economy is so linked to the eurozone.

:04:08.:04:12.

the leaders of the eurozone want to save their currency, then they,

:04:12.:04:17.

together with the institutions of the eurozone, must act now.

:04:17.:04:22.

there was some action. In Athens, the focus of last week's market

:04:22.:04:26.

panic, a former European central banker will lead a government

:04:26.:04:31.

committed to bringing down Greece's massive debts. In Germany, Angela

:04:31.:04:38.

Merkel said she is focused on one goal - to stabilise the eurozone in

:04:38.:04:45.

its current form. How, though? Today, even France came under

:04:45.:04:48.

increasing pressure from the financial markets. This is the

:04:48.:04:53.

biggest crisis in Europe since World War Two. And no-one knows

:04:53.:04:59.

where it's heading. Our chief Economics Correspondent,

:04:59.:05:02.

Hugh Pym, is with me. We heard about that growth forecast for the

:05:02.:05:05.

whole of Europe being slashed. What does that mean for us in Britain?

:05:05.:05:09.

Well, George, I think this commission forecast really brings

:05:09.:05:13.

home to all of us what this turbulence in the eurozone means,

:05:13.:05:17.

for businesses and consumers and jobs. The Commission says that the

:05:17.:05:20.

intensified financial turmoil is affecting investment and

:05:20.:05:24.

consumption around Europe. That is the real economy, confidence is

:05:24.:05:28.

deteriorating. In the section on the UK, in this forecast, it says

:05:28.:05:33.

that businesses in the UK are being affected by the weaknesses in the

:05:33.:05:37.

eurozone. It does have a forecast for the UK. It says that it

:05:37.:05:41.

believes a contraction in economic output in the UK is possible in one

:05:41.:05:44.

of the next few quarters. If that happens, we will be back in

:05:44.:05:47.

recession with all the implications for jobs and so on. That being said,

:05:48.:05:52.

the Commission does believe there will be growth in the UK next year

:05:52.:05:57.

of 0.6%. So it thinks we will carry on growing. The bad news is that's

:05:57.:06:02.

lower than this year's growth, in other words not very much.

:06:02.:06:05.

The head of News International James Murdoch has appeared again in

:06:05.:06:08.

front of MPs to answer new questions on the phone-hacking

:06:08.:06:12.

scandal. Earlier this year, two former News of the World executives

:06:12.:06:16.

told MPs that Mr Murdoch knew about the extent of phone hacking much

:06:16.:06:20.

earlier than he had admitted. Today Mr Murdoch turned on his former

:06:20.:06:24.

colleagues saying they had given misleading evidence.

:06:24.:06:30.

Nick Robinson followed the day's proceedings. This report contains

:06:30.:06:34.

flash photography. First, the father, now the son,

:06:34.:06:37.

back in the parliamentary dock for his role in the phone-hacking

:06:37.:06:42.

scandal. James Murdoch fidgeted at the start of two-and-a-half hours

:06:42.:06:45.

of cross-examination. Perhaps remembering the last time he faced

:06:45.:06:50.

this committee of MPs, when his dad got a face full of foam. All that

:06:50.:06:56.

was thrown this time were questions, allegations - oh and scorn. Can you

:06:56.:07:00.

confirm that you have not been arrested or you are not currently

:07:00.:07:02.

on bail and therefore you are free to answer all the questions I'm

:07:02.:07:06.

going to put to you? I have not been arrested. I am not currently

:07:06.:07:10.

on bail. I am free to answer questions and I would like to.

:07:11.:07:15.

questioners are amongst those who have been hounded, spyed on and

:07:15.:07:21.

lied to. This their chance to get even. You must be the first Mafia

:07:21.:07:26.

boss in history who didn't know he was running a criminal enterprise?

:07:26.:07:32.

That is inappropriate. Mr Chairman? On the day the News of the World

:07:32.:07:36.

closed, its journalists cheered their editor. Today James Murdoch

:07:36.:07:39.

accused Colin Myler and the paper's lawyer, Tom Crone, of knowing what

:07:39.:07:44.

was happening at the paper but not telling Parliament, or him. There

:07:45.:07:49.

was a lot of supposition and would have known and might have known and

:07:49.:07:54.

should have known and this and that. What never happened is Mr Crone and

:07:54.:07:59.

Mr Myler showing me the relevant evidence, explaining to me the

:07:59.:08:03.

relevant evidence and its relevance, or talking about wider spread

:08:03.:08:07.

criminality. That criminality could have come to light when James

:08:07.:08:11.

Murdoch agreed to pay Gordon Taylor, the head of the Professional

:08:11.:08:15.

Footballers' Association, a huge sum, around �700,000, after his

:08:15.:08:19.

phone was hacked by the News of the World. Murdoch claims not to have

:08:19.:08:25.

seen the e-mail of transcripts of hacked phone calls, marked "for

:08:25.:08:29.

Neville" the paper's chief reporter, the memo from the paper's lawyer

:08:29.:08:34.

which stated "it was fatal to our case" and the legal advice which

:08:34.:08:38.

warned the News of the World had "a culture of illegal information

:08:38.:08:43.

access". James Murdoch's former executives say he did know about

:08:43.:08:47.

the e-mail. He insisted today they are wrong. You think Mr Crone

:08:47.:08:52.

misled us? It follows that I do, yes. Do you think Mr Myler misled

:08:52.:08:58.

us? I believe their testimony was misleading. The Murdochs have

:08:58.:09:08.

apologised to the family of the murdered teenager, Milly Dowler.

:09:08.:09:13.

Today another apology to the family of Mark Lewis. It is appalling. The

:09:13.:09:18.

company should never condone and it was shocking when I found out.

:09:18.:09:21.

you aware Mr Lewis's family was trailed by private investigators

:09:21.:09:25.

including his 14-year-old daughter and would you agree that that is

:09:25.:09:28.

completely despicable? I totally agree with you. I wasn't aware of

:09:28.:09:33.

that. If it is the case, the whole affair is just not acceptable and

:09:33.:09:38.

not on. So much to apologise for, so much still unclear. Tonight, the

:09:38.:09:42.

News of the World's former lawyer Tom Crone has accused James Murdoch

:09:42.:09:48.

of giving evidence that was at best disingenuous. Put simply, MPs must

:09:48.:09:55.

now reach a verdict on who is telling the truth.

:09:55.:09:59.

It's a first for the NHS, a private company is to take over the running

:09:59.:10:03.

of a hospital. Under the deal, Hinchingbrooke Hospital in

:10:03.:10:07.

Cambridgeshire, which has run up a �40 million debt, will be managed

:10:07.:10:13.

by a healthcare group called Circle. Branwen Jefferies is there.

:10:13.:10:17.

George, it is quiet here now, but it's been an eventful day. The

:10:17.:10:21.

signing of the contract is the end of a long process which began under

:10:21.:10:25.

the last Government. Of course, it's potentially controversial.

:10:25.:10:29.

Today, there were reassurances for staff that there will be no

:10:29.:10:33.

immediate job cuts and a promise to the public that this hospital will

:10:33.:10:40.

have to balance its books before Circle is paid any fees.

:10:40.:10:45.

A local NHS hospital, just like so many others in England, but with

:10:45.:10:50.

one big difference - it's now officially under new management. A

:10:50.:10:54.

private company, Circle, has signed the contract to run it for ten

:10:54.:10:59.

years. On the wards, another busy day for the staff. They will go on

:10:59.:11:06.

working for the NHS, but Circle is promising nurses and doctors a

:11:06.:11:09.

bigger say. The hospital's lead doctor told me he hopes that means

:11:10.:11:16.

less red tape. The bureaucracy never allows them the speed to

:11:16.:11:20.

deliver these changes. What we are hoping to have with the Circle

:11:20.:11:25.

model is to achieve that speed by which we can bring these new

:11:25.:11:29.

innovations to the patients as soon as we can. And they will need to

:11:29.:11:36.

make big changes. The hospital has got debts of �40 million. Patients

:11:36.:11:40.

have mixed views about whether this is the right answer. Obviously,

:11:40.:11:44.

they are in debt so they need some sort of rescue campaign. So let's

:11:44.:11:49.

hope it is going to work. I think it should be run by us and the NHS.

:11:49.:11:55.

Circle won the contract to run this hospital after beating other bids,

:11:55.:12:00.

including some from inside the NHS. The company carries out routine

:12:00.:12:05.

operations on NHS patients, but today union officials said this is

:12:05.:12:09.

a very different job. If you are running a treatment centre, you are

:12:09.:12:13.

doing quick surgery, getting people in, taking things out, sewing

:12:13.:12:16.

people back up again, running a District General Hospital, you are

:12:16.:12:20.

running a whole range of services including care of the elderly,

:12:20.:12:24.

maternity and the rest. They have no experience in that area at all.

:12:24.:12:28.

In the end, patients will be the judge. Keeping this hospital

:12:28.:12:33.

running and paying off debts will be tough. Circle could in theory

:12:33.:12:38.

make money from the contract, but says the first priority is to show

:12:38.:12:45.

it can provide better care. People aren't going to see staff

:12:45.:12:48.

who are in charge of their own hospitals, have autonomy to do what

:12:48.:12:52.

they think is best and be completely focused on them. Is it

:12:52.:12:56.

an impossible job that you have taken on? Absolutely not. Is it a

:12:56.:13:00.

difficult job? Yes, it is. It is a job that the local doctors and

:13:00.:13:05.

nurses in here are going to do. contract to run Hinchingbrooke is

:13:05.:13:10.

for ten years. But the pressure will be on to show results much

:13:10.:13:15.

sooner. Circle takes over the running of

:13:15.:13:19.

the hospital on 1st February next year. There are around 20 other

:13:19.:13:23.

hospitals in England that are also struggling financially. So what

:13:23.:13:28.

happens here is going to be watched with a lot of interest.

:13:28.:13:34.

Interest rates have been held at a record low of 0.5% by the Bank of

:13:34.:13:37.

England. Worries about the strength of the economic recovery meant

:13:37.:13:40.

economists had expected interest rates to remain unchanged. They

:13:40.:13:47.

have been kept at 0.5% since March 2009.

:13:47.:13:54.

A radical Islamic protest group planning an anti-Armistice Day is

:13:54.:14:02.

going to be banned from operating in the UK. The Home Office says

:14:02.:14:06.

Muslims Against Crusades is closely linked to a host of other

:14:06.:14:09.

previously banned groups. What is in a name? If you a Newcastle

:14:09.:14:15.

United fan, quite a lot. Afterle almost 120 years -- after almost

:14:15.:14:24.

120 years, St James' Park will now be called if Sports Direct Arena.

:14:24.:14:27.

The leader of Newcastle City Council has described it as an

:14:27.:14:36.

insult to Geordie football history. Robledo scores the fourth! For 119

:14:36.:14:41.

years it's been home to football's favourite soap opera. St James'

:14:41.:14:46.

Park has been the one constant for Newcastle fans amid the highs, the

:14:46.:14:52.

lows and the decades of drama. But today they awoke to find it no

:14:52.:14:56.

longer exists. St James' Park is now the Sports Direct Arena, named

:14:56.:15:00.

after their owner Mike Ashley's sportswear company. Tradition up in

:15:00.:15:06.

smoke and fans up in arms. It is history, it is our heritage. It's

:15:06.:15:10.

been changed overnight. It is disgusting. We are filling his

:15:10.:15:14.

pockets every weekend and he is doing this to us. It is disgusting.

:15:14.:15:18.

I'm not happy. There's more to football than money. There's pride,

:15:18.:15:23.

this is the home of the club. This is the home of Newcastle United.

:15:23.:15:26.

What's more, the new Sports Direct Arena could soon be called

:15:26.:15:29.

something else. Newcastle now want to sell the naming rights to the

:15:29.:15:32.

stadium to the highest bidder because they believe it could raise

:15:32.:15:38.

as much as �10 million a year. Mike Ashley has rarely been popular with

:15:38.:15:42.

the fans, but on the pitch Newcastle are soaring, third in the

:15:42.:15:46.

Premier League. Ashley says they need the money to compete with the

:15:46.:15:51.

best. So might this work? Stadium branding is nothing new. An airline

:15:51.:15:55.

at Arsenal, a building society at Stoke, leisure wear at Bolton, but

:15:55.:16:00.

they were all new venues, not an existing one. Ashley's predecessor

:16:00.:16:10.
:16:10.:16:11.

believes potential sponsors will For renamed changes -- three main

:16:12.:16:15.

changes. I wouldn't want to be coming in after the end of St

:16:15.:16:20.

James' Park and then sports director and then Smith Ltd, why we

:16:20.:16:24.

do want to do that? Sensible planning or cynical sell-out?

:16:24.:16:28.

Whatever the sponsors say, you suspect for the fans it will always

:16:28.:16:35.

be seen James Park. -- St James' Park.

Our top story tonight: There's a stark warning that Europe

:16:37.:16:47.

could be in danger of heading into another recession. Coming up: Three

markets have been going up and down as investors ponder Italy's next

move. Jaguar Land Rover create Scientists have discovered a new

:17:17.:17:19.

method of communicating with brain damaged patients who appear to be

:17:19.:17:23.

in a vegetative state. They measured the electrical activity in

:17:23.:17:27.

the brain while asking the patients to imagine moving their limbs. Our

:17:27.:17:30.

medical correspondent Fergus Walsh met the team in Cambridge and tried

:17:30.:17:40.
:17:40.:17:42.

Vegetative patients are awake but so brain-damaged they are totally

:17:42.:17:49.

unaware of their surroundings. Now electric -- eg has detected

:17:49.:17:55.

awareness in three out of 16 patients. Healthy volunteers are

:17:55.:17:59.

needed so I tested the device in Cambridge. I was asked to close my

:17:59.:18:04.

eyes and imagine wiggling my toes or squeezing my right hand. That is

:18:04.:18:09.

because thinking about movement produces the same brain pattern as

:18:09.:18:15.

doing it. The blue area was activated when I was asked to

:18:15.:18:19.

imagine wiggling my toes. When I thought about squeezing my right

:18:19.:18:24.

hand, the left side of my brain lit up because the left hemisphere of

:18:25.:18:31.

the brain controls the right side of the body. Now compare my results

:18:31.:18:34.

with one of the vegetative patients on the trial, published in The

:18:34.:18:40.

Lancet medical journal. You can see their brain activity is remarkably

:18:40.:18:45.

similar to mine. This can only happen if you are conscious. It can

:18:46.:18:49.

only mean they are aware and they are responding to the instructions

:18:49.:18:54.

we are giving them. Both what we are asking them to do and when we

:18:54.:18:58.

are asking them to do it. researchers hope this technique

:18:58.:19:03.

could eventually be used for daily communication with some brain

:19:03.:19:08.

injured patients who are otherwise unresponsive. Being able to answer

:19:09.:19:13.

simple yes or no questions by the power of thought alone could

:19:13.:19:17.

determine whether they are in pain and what their wishes are regarding

:19:17.:19:22.

treatment. Roy Hayim knows what it is like to be locked in his own

:19:22.:19:28.

body. He was left paralysed after food poisoning. For eight months he

:19:28.:19:33.

could communicate only by moving a farm before making a full recovery.

:19:34.:19:43.

I felt completely frustrated. If I had that facility, I think it would

:19:43.:19:48.

have been a tremendous relief to know that my life would continue.

:19:48.:19:53.

MRI scanning has detected awareness, but it is not practical for many

:19:53.:19:58.

patients. EEG is cheap, portable and could be used at the bedside to

:19:58.:20:04.

reassess vegetative patients and perhaps give some of them a voice.

:20:04.:20:07.

Car giant Jaguar Land Rover brought some welcome news to the economy

:20:07.:20:11.

today - announcing the creation of 1,000 new jobs at its plant at

:20:11.:20:17.

Solihull in the West Midlands. Our correspondent Claire Marshall is

:20:17.:20:24.

there for us now. Two years ago Jaguar Land Rover was

:20:24.:20:27.

asking for government for a bail out and it was looking at closing

:20:27.:20:30.

one of its plants in the West Midlands, but now things have

:20:30.:20:35.

completely changed. They have big plans for this site in Solihull.

:20:35.:20:41.

There's a real mood of optimism. What an extraordinary turnaround.

:20:41.:20:50.

From a loss of �673 million in 2008/09 to a profit of �1.1 billion

:20:50.:20:54.

in the year to March 2011. Jaguar Land Rover say it is because they

:20:54.:20:59.

have invested heavily and found new markets in China and Russia. Good

:20:59.:21:03.

news for them and for Cameron. 1,000 new jobs were created today

:21:03.:21:09.

and he wants one of them. I heard they were recruiting. This is

:21:09.:21:14.

brilliant. A you have come to try to find out about it? Yeah.

:21:14.:21:18.

much would you like a job with them? And more than anything.

:21:18.:21:22.

this local firm supplies body parts for the plant which makes Range

:21:22.:21:26.

Rover, a Range Rover Sport, discovery and defender. It was

:21:26.:21:29.

announced that 14 new models are being produced. This business is

:21:29.:21:37.

growing. We have such a good customer, doing a good product. We

:21:37.:21:45.

can protect ourselves and grow the business. This comes just two

:21:45.:21:49.

months after the carmaker owned by India's Tata Motors announced it is

:21:50.:21:53.

building this new multi-million- pound engine factory near

:21:53.:21:58.

Wolverhampton, creating 750 jobs. It is an area which has been hit

:21:58.:22:03.

hard by manufacturing closures over the last five years. A success

:22:03.:22:08.

story is very welcome. Fantastic. Great for the area. Brings money

:22:08.:22:12.

into the town and keeps the shops going. Very good. Very good for

:22:12.:22:18.

everybody. It is nice to see a company advertising new jobs rather

:22:18.:22:22.

than hearing the opposite. They are calling it the most ambitious

:22:22.:22:26.

growth plans in the company's recent history so for many people

:22:26.:22:31.

in Solihull, it will now be a Christmas to look forward to.

:22:31.:22:36.

They have been advertising for graduates, but today's jobs are for

:22:36.:22:39.

production operators and for skilled trades people. They are

:22:39.:22:44.

looking for all kinds of skill set. In the dark cloud of the nation's

:22:44.:22:48.

economy, in the West Midlands there is this one bright spot.

:22:48.:22:52.

Prince William is to go on a six- week tour of duty in the Falkland

:22:52.:22:55.

Islands next year. The Prince, who's an RAF Search and Rescue

:22:55.:22:58.

pilot, will fly out in February. The trip comes on the eve of the

:22:58.:23:01.

30th anniversary of the Falklands War with Argentina, which continues

:23:01.:23:05.

to assert a territorial claim to the island.

:23:05.:23:07.

It's every politican's worst nightmare - forgetting a major

:23:07.:23:10.

plank of your policies in a live television debate in front of

:23:10.:23:14.

millions of viewers. Well, that's exactly what happened to the

:23:15.:23:17.

potential Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry on US TV last

:23:17.:23:27.
:23:27.:23:28.

I will tell you, it is three agencies of government when I get

:23:28.:23:32.

there that are gone. Commerce, education and fee... What is the

:23:32.:23:42.
:23:42.:23:44.

third one? 5. Five! Commerce, education and... EPA? There you go,

:23:44.:23:53.

EPA. Seriously? Is DPA the one you're talking about? No. We were

:23:53.:23:58.

talking about the agencies of government. EPA needs to be rebuilt.

:23:58.:24:02.

You can't name the third one? third agency of government, I would

:24:03.:24:12.
:24:13.:24:19.

do away with education..., us. Rick Perry - and we'll have the

:24:19.:24:22.

full story at ten and what it means for the Republican race for the

:24:22.:24:24.

White House. Now, some remarkable pictures of

:24:24.:24:28.

what's thought to be the biggest wave ever to be surfed. It happened

:24:28.:24:32.

off Portugal. You can just see the surfer, Garrett McNamara, in the

:24:32.:24:33.

surfer, Garrett McNamara, in the middle of a wave that's around 30

:24:33.:24:38.

meters high. For a moment it looks as if he's about to be engulfed by

:24:38.:24:41.

it, but somehow he manages to surf clear, even managing to record the

:24:41.:24:50.

event with a camera on his The RSPCA says it will prosecute a

:24:50.:24:56.

man caught on CCTV swinging a cat around by its tail. The cat's owner

:24:56.:24:59.

says the incident is a horrific act of cruelty and says her pet, called

:24:59.:25:04.

Mowgli, is now too scared to go out. She wants the public to help find

:25:04.:25:14.
:25:14.:25:14.

the man, as Jeremy Cooke reports An act of breathtaking cruelty and

:25:14.:25:19.

all of it caught on camera. Yes, the man in the picture is swinging

:25:19.:25:25.

a live cat by its tail. He appears to be dancing as he continues down

:25:25.:25:28.

the street, oblivious to the obvious pain and distress he is

:25:28.:25:34.

causing. The good news is that today Mowgli the cat is home, safe,

:25:34.:25:38.

and being cared for by a loving owner. But Michelle Buchanan can

still hardly believe what happened right outside her Ramsgate flat.

was distraught. I could not believe it. I just don't understand, I

:25:50.:25:54.

really don't understand how they could laugh, they were actually

:25:54.:26:00.

laughing. It would be great to report that Mowgli has made a full

:26:00.:26:04.

recovery and physically he is in pretty good shape. But make no

:26:04.:26:10.

mistake, this whole episode has been a life-changing trauma. Mowgli

:26:10.:26:15.

now refuses to go outside and will barely leave the bedroom. With this

:26:15.:26:19.

evidence, it seems likely the perpetrator will be caught. The

:26:19.:26:24.

RSPCA says he will be prosecuted. It is important for us to find out

:26:24.:26:28.

who is responsible so they are made accountable for these actions. The

:26:28.:26:33.

cat would have gone through enormous amounts of stress and fear.

:26:33.:26:37.

The police and the RSPCA are now determined to track down the man

:26:37.:26:47.
:26:47.:26:47.

Time for the weather forecast. Cloudy for some, sunny for others,

:26:47.:26:52.

but mild for all of us. No sign of anything particularly cold heading

:26:52.:26:56.

in our direction. This cloud will bring rain to western areas

:26:56.:27:02.

tomorrow. At the moment must places are dry. It will turn out be a

:27:02.:27:07.

misty and murky night. Proper rain in Cornwall by the end of the night.

:27:07.:27:15.

Another mild night, no problems with frost or anything like that.

:27:15.:27:19.

Tomorrow, the 11th day of the 11th month will be suitably sombre,

:27:19.:27:27.

limited cloud around and limited brightness. Further east, it should

:27:27.:27:32.

stay dry. East of the Isle of Wight will be dry. A lot of cloud,

:27:32.:27:40.

limited brightness. A freshening south-easterly breeze. Some fog

:27:40.:27:44.

over the Pennines, limited sunshine. Some of the best of that will be

:27:44.:27:48.

over the more central and western parts of Scotland. A bit of shelter

:27:48.:27:54.

here. In Northern Ireland, things going Downhill. Pretty wet. The

:27:54.:28:02.

rain will not last long, but a freshening breeze for -- breeze.

:28:02.:28:06.

Something a little bit brighter arriving across Cornwall by the end

:28:06.:28:11.

of the afternoon. That rain will swing east on Friday night and into

:28:11.:28:15.

Saturday. Some sharp showers in western areas, but many areas will

:28:15.:28:22.

turn drier and brighter. Sunday is looking pretty good. Still mild,

:28:22.:28:29.

temperatures in the low to mid- teens. To sum up the weekend, the

:28:29.:28:31.

teens. To sum up the weekend, the gist is it will stay mild for all

:28:31.:28:36.

of us and most of us will see some sunshine.

:28:36.:28:42.
