Britain can extradite the radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza and four | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
other suspects to the United States to face terrorism charges. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
The European Court of Human Rights dismissed claims they would face | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
conditions amounting to torture in America's high security jails, a | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
ruling welcomed by the government. The courts have ruled that the | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
extradition would not be a violation of the human rights and | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
we will be working to ensure we can hand over these individuals to the | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
United States as soon as possible. Abu Hamza is one of five terrorism | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
suspects who have spent many years fighting extradition. They still | :00:38. | :00:44. | |

News at six. The radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza can be extradited | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
from Britain to the United States to face terrorism charges. That is | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
the ruling by judges at the European Court of Human Rights, who | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
dismissed his claim that he would face inhuman and degrading | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
treatment if convicted in America. Abu Hamza is one of five terrorism | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
suspects who have used numerous legal challenges over many years to | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
fight extradition. But the judges also said the men can't be | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
extradited until a three-month deadline for a final appeal has | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
expired. Here's our home affairs correspondent, June Kelly. | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
Just do it! If it is killing, do it! Eight typical Abu Hamza tirade. | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
He is urging his followers to kill. He has already been convicted in | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
British courts for inciting murder and now he is one of five terror | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
suspects facing American justice. Europe has cleared the way for them | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
to be put on a plane, acknowledging they could face life in prison. In | :02:52. | :03:02. | |

a statement, the European Court I welcome the decision that has | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
been taken by the European Court of Human Rights. This now permits the | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
extradition of Abu Hamza and a number of others to the United | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
States. The courts have ruled that would not be a violation of the | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
human rights and we will be working to ensure we can hand over these | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
individuals to the United States as soon as possible. Abu Hamza are | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
once spoke about the UK's desire to get rid of him. As a human, I am | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
worried but as a preacher, you cannot deport me outside of the | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
planet. You can only put me in God's kingdom. Abu Hamza is said to | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
have been involved in a plot to kidnap Westerners in Yemen. Four | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
Britons died. Inside the US he is accused of conspiring to set up a | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
terrorist training camp in Oregon. For years his power base was | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
Finsbury Park mosque. In the late 90s, Reda Hassaine worked as an | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
informant inside the mosque, gathering intelligence for the | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
police and MI5. He I described Abu Hamza as the terrorist in chief. A | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
very dangerous person. But before 9/11, that was not the British will | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
dilute his new team. He was seen as a clown, a big mouth. -- not how | :04:25. | :04:33. | |
the British authorities saw him. With Abu Hamza in charge, a | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
Finsbury Park Mosque became a breeding-ground for extremists. | :04:37. | :04:43. | |

include Zacharias Masami, the only person convicted in relation to | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
9/11, Richard Reid, de shoe bomber, and the men jailed over the murder | :05:02. | :05:12. | |
of a policeman. Four of the men could end up in a modern day | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
Alcatraz, ADX Florence. Abu Hamza will not be sent here because of | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
his disabilities. He has lost both his arms and is blind in one eye. | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
Babar Ahmad is one of those facing life in ADX Florence. His family | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
believe he should be tried in the UK. British justice appears to have | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
been sub-contracted to the US. This should be immediately rectified by | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
putting Babar Ahmad on trial in the UK. The five facing extradition are | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
wanted on a range of charges, including providing support for | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
terrorists and bombing US embassies. One is accused of Rover 269 counts | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
of murder. -- of over 269. And these appeals have been going | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
on for years. Is this the end of the road? No, not quite. They have | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
one avenue left, an appeal to the grand chamber at the European Court | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
of Human Rights. Many try and use exceed to get a hearing there but | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
if they do, this case could take who knows how long. If they do not | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
get a hearing there, the expectation is that they will be on | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
a plane to Colorado in three months' time. People will be saying, | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
how come it has taken so long? One of the suspects, his case goes back | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
to 2004. The answer is that this is part of the Americans global "war | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
on terror". Their determination to hunt down and bring to justice | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
people commit him wherever country they happen to be. -- People, in | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
whatever country they happen to be. Inevitably that takes a lot of time | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
and in this case you end up with Egyptian nationals held in English | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
prisons, wanted by the American authorities and have in the future | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
of their case decided in a French court, so the determination of the | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
Americans to have global justice is producing all kinds of | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
international complexities and I suspect there will be other cases | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
to follow. Syrian opposition groups say a | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
thousand people have been killed by government forces in the last eight | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
days. Today there were fresh clashes, shattering hopes for a | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
peace plan, brokered by the former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
That was due to be implemented today. The worst of the unrest has | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
been in the cities of Homs, Aleppo The fresh violence happened as Mr | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
Annan was visiting Syria's border with Turkey where tens of thousands | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
of people have fled to escape the attacks. He spoke to refugees at | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
the Yayladagi refugee camp. From there, Fergal Keane sent this | :07:48. | :07:58. | |
:07:58. | :08:04. | ||
If peace is about to dawn, there is This is the voice of the camera man | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
recording the violence. This is Homs, it is being destroyed by | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
random shelling today, April 10th! God is great! In Homs and other | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
embattled towns, the destruction seemed to be escalating, if | :08:20. | :08:27. | |
anything. And with time running out for his peace mission, Kofi Annan | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
claim to visit the refugees of Syria's violence. There was a | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
welcome. Most of these people have fled from the north of the country, | :08:37. | :08:46. | |
with stories of killing and torture. All day, Mr Annan's cavalcade moved | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
from camp to camp. Some of the refugees we met clung to the hope | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
that his mission might still work. Maybe something will happen, this | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
woman told us, and became go back to our families and children. | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
Kofi Annan is being asked for solutions he cannot deliver. For | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
some it is a question of achieving a ceasefire and been able to go | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
home, but a growing number of voices are demanding that the | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
opposition be armed and achieve military victory. The mood of | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
militancy is growing. These men told us they were from the Free | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
Syrian Army and had little faith now in the Annan plan. | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
TRANSLATION: We want NATO to come to Syria and give weapons to the | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
Free Syrian Army and we want a liberated zone so we can free our | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
country. The clock ticks on the UN's deadline. Kofi Annan's mission | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
looks increasingly forlorn. Though he continued to press Damascus to | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
pull its forces back. Let me appeal to the Syrian government and | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
parties to cease violence in accordance with the plan, and I | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
believe there should be no preconditions for stopping the | :09:59. | :10:07. | |
violence. But in Moscow, where he met his Russian counterpart, | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
Syria's foreign minister claimed his side was a bar are deemed by | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
the agreement. -- was abiding by the agreement. We have withdrawn | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
some military units, we have allowed more media channels to | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
enter Syria and we have reached agreement to allow humanitarian aid | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
and transfer it to be needed. Annan asked today what the world | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
would do if his plan failed. It is the question now bearing down with | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
growing urgency. An 18-year-old woman has fallen to | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
her death from a tower block in London as police arrived at the | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
flat. Scotland Yard say she fell from her bedroom window in Woolwich | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
just before officers arrested a man on suspicion of assisting an | :10:52. | :11:02. | |
:11:02. | :11:02. | ||
It was from a bedroom on the 17th floor of this block of flats that | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
the young woman plunged to her death. It happened at around 9:30am | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
this morning, shortly after police arrived at the flat to carry out | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
and the rest regarding a recall to prison. The 18-year-old was | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
pronounced dead at the scene. A man was arrested on suspicion of | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
assisting an offender and is currently in custody. My mate but | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
phoned me and told me to look out of the window. I saw the police | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
cars, I was like, what is coming on? Not nice, not a nice feeling. | :11:34. | :11:41. | |
Just to see someone diet that sudden, just outside. It is scary. | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
-- to see someone die. circumstances leading to the | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
woman's falling, we do not yet know, but the Metropolitan Police are | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
making it clear that the flat was not raided and that the police | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
officers were let in. It was only in the late afternoon that the | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
young woman's body was taken away. She is yet to be formally | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
identified. The Independent Police Complaints Commission has been | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
informed and the Met Police's Directorate of professional | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
standards is now investigating. Six men have been arrested | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
following a rally in Londonderry to mark the anniversary of the 1916 | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
Easter Rising against British rule in Ireland. Several hundred people | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
attended the event yesterday, at which a masked man read out a | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
statement from the Real IRA, threatening to attack police | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
officers. Severn Trent Water in the Midlands | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
has announced its in talks to sell water to an area affected by | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
drought. It aims to pump 30 million litres a day to Anglian Water. That | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
is enough for 100,000 homes. Anglian Water is one of seven | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
companies that imposed a hosepipe ban last week to help ease the | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
shortage. The Prime Minister and a delegation | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
of 40 British businessmen have spent the day in Japan on a trip to | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
boost trade. The visit to Tokyo coincided with an announcement from | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
the car maker Nissan that it would build a new model at its plant in | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
Sunderland, creating hundreds of new jobs. The trip is intended to | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
generate millions of pounds of business for UK companies. Japan is | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
the world's third largest economy. But currently only the 17th largest | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
export market for the United Kingdom. From Tokyo, James Landale | :13:21. | :13:30. | |
sent this report which contains flash photography. | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
The Prime Minister is on tour, selling Britain to the world. His | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
mission this week, to secure trade deals across south-east Asia. Old | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
friends and allies with Japan, he says, but an opportunity that must | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
be renewed. A chance to pay his respect to the 78-year-old Emperor | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
but also a chance to forge new relationships, not just secure more | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
Japanese investment at home but more British exports over here. | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
is part of the job for the Prime Minister to drum up British | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
business, load up aeroplanes of British business, so that we can | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
make more from Britain, sell more, export more and that is one of the | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
ways we can get our economy moving. He came to the headquarters of | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
Misanp to thank them for choosing the Sunderland plant to make their | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
new car. I have seen the hatchback but I will not tell anybody what it | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
looks like! It is the secret and you can trust me! But he will let | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
on that the deal could create 200 new jobs at the plant and many | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
hundreds more at its suppliers and there could be more jobs to for | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
another deal in Japanese Investment for infrastructure. He and his | :14:47. | :14:55. | |
counterpart also agreed a deal to boost Britain's defence. He will | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
get access to Japan's previously closed markets. No doubt, to break | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
into Japan is difficult. We manufacture helicopters and we have | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
had an arrangement here for a number of years but it is a tough | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
market. With this new arrangement, we hope that will become a lot | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
easier and we will be able to jointly develop and manufacture | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
more products in Japan. In the wake of last year's Fukushima nuclear | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
plant crisis, David Cameron also agreed to share expertise in | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
decommissioning nuclear power plants. He will then go to Malaysia, | :15:30. | :15:37. | |
Indonesia and ultimately Burma, where he will meet Aung San Suu Kyi. | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
Japan's economy is the third largest in the world and win more | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
business will be worth a huge amount of money to Britain. David | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
Cameron comes after weeks of trouble at home but he insists that | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
he is focused on the bigger picture of fixing the economy, and that he | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
says means drumming up business in places like this of. | :15:57. | :16:00. | |

has just 13 employees has just been snapped up by the social networking | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
giant Facebook for $1 billion. Instagram came up with a smartphone | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
app that allows people to share their photos easily online. So | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
why's Facebook prepared to spend so much on it? Our business | :17:03. | :17:10. | |
correspondent Emma Simpson reports. It's the hot new app from President | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
Obama, to Jamie Oliver, millions of people are using this photo-sharing | :17:15. | :17:22. | |
programme on their smartphones, but is it worth $one billion? The | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, thinks so. Analysts say | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
it's a tactical move by the world's biggest social media network. | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
think the strategic rationale to acquire one of the fastest growing | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
apps is clear, they prevent Instagram from becoming a threat in | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
its own right or being acquired by competitor-like Google but they are | :17:45. | :17:55. | |
paying a very high price for it. Here is The company they started | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
less than two years ago is now about to make them incredibly rich. | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
It's a small company, there are only 13 employees. But they do have | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
30 million users uploading five million new pictures every day. So | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
what's all the fuss about? Well, you can take a picture, and then | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
treat it like an old polaroid for instance, and you can share it and | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
post the picture instantly to another site, like Facebook. In | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
this fast-changing world it's the smartphone that's an increasingly | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
important battle ground and Facebook, ahead of its floatation, | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
is determined to stay on top. In some countries 30%, 40% of all | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
Facebook activity is purely on mobile, so this is an area where | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
Facebook is very much keen to not only retain a certain sense of | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
dominance, but also defend its position. They've paid a lot for an | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
app that doesn't appear to generate any money. Facebook says Instagram | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
will continue in its current form. Some are wondering if all this is a | :19:01. | :19:10. | |
sign of another technology bubble. The gunman who killed 77 people in | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
attacks in Norway last July has been declared sane. It means Anders | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
Breivik could be sentenced to life imprisonment if found guilty when | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
he goes on trial next week, rather than being committed to psychiatric | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
care. There's been a dramatic development | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
in the investigation following the death of the British businessman | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
Neil Heywood in China last November. Initially, the Chinese said that Mr | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
Heywood had died from excess alcohol, but today Chinese state | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
television reported that the wife of a leading Communist Party | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
politician, Bo Xilai, is being investigated. Our diplomatic | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
correspondent James Robbins is here. What more can you tell us about | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
this? This is an extraordinary series of developments. One of | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
China's most senior politicians, senior member of the Communist | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
Party has been stripped of all his posts within the party and it was | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
in the city where he was party boss that Neil Heywood died last | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
November. Officially it was given out he died of alcohol poisoning | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
but his body was quickly cremated. There were suspicions about his | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
death and about the links he may have had with Bo Xilai, the | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
business relationship. The local police chief was himself suspicion, | :20:19. | :20:26. | |
he was sacked by Bo Xilai, and now his wife has been detained by the | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
authorities on suspicion of involvement in the murder. This all | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
follows Britain's insistence that there be a re-investigation of the | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
death and a few minutes ago William Hague gave us this reaction. | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
It is a death that needs to be investigated in its own terms, on | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
its own merits, without political considerations and so I hope they | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
will go about it in that way and I welcome the announcement that they | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
will have an investigation. I am sure we are going to hear a | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
lot more about this in the hours and days ahead, because this is the | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
largest political scandal in China for over 20 years and it comes in a | :21:00. | :21:08. | |
run-up to the major internal elections in which Bo Xilai stood a | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
real chance of advancement and his wife now, of course, facing | :21:12. | :21:19. | |
involvement in investigation for possible murder. Thank you. | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
A minute's silence has been observed in Southampton to remember | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
more than 500 people from the city who died on the Titanic. A | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
recording of the ship's whistle was then played at the docks to mark | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
the exact moment, 100 years ago, that the liner set sail on her | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
maiden voyage. Robert Hall was at the ceremony. | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
The sparkling waters of the dock where excited crowds watched a | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
giant prepare for sea. A century on, Southampton paused to remember the | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
disaster which followed just five days later. Titanic's physical | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
presence filled the city with excitement, 500 locally recruited | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
crew members crowded her gangways for the maiden voyage. | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
Today, their descendants exchanged stories of that morning, of those | :22:02. | :22:09. | |
they lost, and the few who survived. As far as we know he was a boot | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
steward, and he was one of the survivors. He was in charge of | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
lifeboat 5 and we believe from the records that we have got that he | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
saved somebody's life as well. just feel that what happened that | :22:22. | :22:31. | |
night to him and so many others, I have a connection. I just want to | :22:31. | :22:41. | |
:22:41. | :22:45. | ||
News of the disaster brought frustration and despair to the | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
streets around the port. Day and night the crowds strained to read | :22:49. | :22:57. | |
the casualty lists. A century on, a busy port was stilled, as this | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
marine community turned its thoughts to the horrors of one | :23:00. | :23:09. | |
night on a distant ocean. Silence broken by a sound which | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
hasn't been heard since it echoed across the roof-tops a century ago | :23:15. | :23:25. | |
when Titanic said her farewells. From around the sprawling docks | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
came the response, as one by one the visitors laid their tributes | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
and looked back to that departure. On Southampton water the tug | :23:35. | :23:42. | |
Calshot, a survivor from that era, led a flotilla away. Away from | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
Southampton, news that the MS Balmoral, which is retracing the | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
Titanic's route across the Atlantic, has been forced to turn back due to | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
a medical emergency on board. The ship will move closer to the Irish | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
coast so the passenger, whose family have been informed, can be | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
evacuated. Balmoral is still expected to reach the wreck site to | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
hold a commemorative service this weekend. In Southampton, Titanic's | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
loss will forever be a painful part of the city's history, and families | :24:09. | :24:18. | |
will return home tonight knowing that the story is still being told. | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
Two quick thinking children in the American state of Washington | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
managed to stop their school bus from crashing after the driver fell | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
ill at the wheel. CCTV footage from inside the bus reveals the dramatic | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
moment when one of the boys realised what was happening and | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
raced to the front to try to take control. Steve Kingstone reports. | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
It began as a typical school run, filmed by an on board camera. Watch | :24:42. | :24:51. | |
the driver in the bottom right of the shot, and 13-year-old Jeremy | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
Wuitschick watching him. He looked like he was choking, he was making | :24:54. | :25:01. | |
a weird noise. I just went up, grabbed the wheel, turned it right | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
and took the keys out of the ignition. A life-saving reaction. | :25:05. | :25:12. | |
How did he know what to do? I was reading a book about the | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
superheroes and this guy was on a bus and the guy was telling him to | :25:17. | :25:24. | |
turn the ignition off. He wasn't the only hero. Somebody call 911 | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
shouts another pupil, then Jeremy is joined by a second boy to | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
perform CPR. I ran up and tried doing chest compressions, I could | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
tell it was getting harder for him to breathe. The driver was taken to | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
hospital in grave condition, but the children escaped injury. All | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
thanks to a young man who would later say I didn't think, I just | :25:46. | :25:56. | |
:25:56. | :25:56. | ||
just did it. If we look back to the records, and | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
100 years ago in Southampton it was just short of 12C as Titanic set | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
sail and largely sunny. It wasn't the same everywhere. Low pressure | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
to the east of the UK, with that we saw blustery cool winds and plenty | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
of showers. Now, if we take the chart 100 years forward, that same | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
position of a low pressure system very, very similar to what we have | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
at the moment. We have showers across the country, | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
some of those heavy and thundery into the evening. The rain we have | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
seen in the south-east of Scotland and north-east England could remain | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
in place, but lighter. The showers will fade back to the coasts. | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
Inland, it becomes clear and rather chilly as well. Temperatures | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
dropping away quite considerably, we could see a frost in some | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
gardens to start the morning. A frustrating week for gardeners, | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
welcome rain and sunshine, but to temper that chilly nights as well. | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
A chilly start to Wednesday across the board. Showers around the coast | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
of Scotland. One or two for Northern Ireland, but largely dry T | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
will be dry inland across much of Scotland, although still lots of | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
clouds towards the borders and across north-east England. Away | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
from that, showers dotted around the coasts of England and Wales. | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
Most inland will wake up to sunshine tomorrow. A bit of chill | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
in the air, but compared with this morning the winds are lighter and | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
the strength of the sun will probably temper that chill. Through | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
the day with lighter wind the showers will be slower moving once | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
they crop up later in the morning into the afternoon. Focus for them | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
probably parts of central and eastern Scotland, through central | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
England. Again with hail and thunder mixed in. Some of the | :27:35. | :27:44. | |
coasts probably stay dry and sunny. In the sunshine temperatures around | :27:44. | :27:50. |
