William and Kate decide to sue a French magazine which has published | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
topless pictures of the Duchess of Camebridge. St James's Palace calls | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
the invasion of privacy grotesque and unjustifiable. | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
The pictures were taken while the couple were sunbathing in a | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
secluded private chateau in France. These people are humans, you know. | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
They are Royals and lead a life of immense privilege but should be | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
allowed to have complete privacy when not doing their duty. It's | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
only the second time in living memory the Royal Family have sued | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
the press. We'll look at how it will affect their relations with | :00:45. | :00:52. | |
the media. Also on tonight's programme - western embassies, | :00:52. | :00:54. | |

to Scotland's Olympians. Good evening. | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
Welcome to the BBC News at Six. The Duke and Duchess of Camebridge have | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
taken the rare step of launching legal action against a French | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
magazine who've published pictures of the Duchess topless while | :01:52. | :02:00. | |
holidaying in France. St James's Palace said it was | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
reminiscent of the life of Diana Princess of Wales. It's only the | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
second time in living memory the Royal Family have sued the press. | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
The couple continue their tour of the Middle East. Nick Witchell sent | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
this report from Malaysia. It was a day to be demur. Friday, | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
the Muslim holy day, William and Kate were making their first viz to | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
it a mosque. Kate's head was covered. They both removed their | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
shoes. At that stage, they'd heard about | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
but not seen the photographs. They were said merely to be saddened by | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
the incident. But after they'd left the mosque, | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
officials started to receive copies of what the French magazine had | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
published and the intensity of the reaction sudden by changed. Instead | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
of sadness, there was fury. Stay 24... Officials who're used to | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
dealing with the media started talking about a red line having | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
been crossed. William instructed his spokesman to issue an official | :02:56. | :03:06. | |
:03:06. | :03:22. | ||
William and Kate had gone last week for four days to a chateau in | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
France owned by his cousin viscount Linley. It is extremely secluded, | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
according to officials, and yet, unknown to the couple, a | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
photographer was staking the place out. | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
The photographs were published this morning in a French gossip magazine | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
on the front and five inside pages. The magazine's editor appeared not | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
to understand what the fuss was about. | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
TRANSLATION: One shouldn't dram tiez these pictures. The reactions | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
are a little disproportionate. What we saw many the pictures was a | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
young couple that have just married who're in love, who're beautiful. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
The relationship Diana Princess of Wales had with the press was a | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
complicated one. Her friends say she was constantly hounded and the | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
same thing must not be allowed to happen to Kate. I have seen what | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
damage is done by a constant intrusion into your life, how | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
impossible it is to relax and have downtime if you've always got in | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
the back of your mind perhaps there's a Kampusch ra there. These | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
people are humans. Yes they are the Royal Family and lead a life of | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
immense privilege but they should be allowed to have complete privacy | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
when not doing their duty. Tonight, William and Kate left Kuala Lumpur. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
Kate look composed, William looked preoccupied. He and his advisers | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
must now decide whether to sue the French magazine under France's | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
strict privacy laws. Tonight, after a day of real anger | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
here and close consultations with lawyers in Paris, the confirmation | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are to take action and | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
sue the French magazine in the French courts for a breach of their | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
privacy. British newspapers were offered the | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
controversial pictures but chose not to publish them. Just a few | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
weeks ago, prince marry was photographed naked at a party in | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
Las Vegas and those images were proproduced in the Sun newspaper. | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
This time, Buckingham Palace says a red line has been crossed. Nike | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
Higham reports. She's beautiful, elegant and | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
constantly on camera. It's her role to be photographed. But some | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
pictures of Kate are simply beyond the pale according to the palace. A | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
French magazine may have published topless photos, but Lord Justice | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
Leveson's report due in November, the British Press will think long | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
and hard before following the French lead. | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
The Sun today said it had no intention of publishing the photos. | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
Yet it did print pictures of Prince Harry naked in a Las Vegas hotel | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
room, the only paper to do so. He was at least partly to blame for | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
what happened, unlike William and Kate and the paper invoked public | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
interest. That hardly applies here. A public interest is usually | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
defined as exposing crime, hypocrisy. Clearly that doesn't | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
apply. If the Duchess had been on a public beach in a public place, | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
then we are talking about a different thing because she would | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
have chose tonne be in a public place. She chose to be in a private | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
place so they're almost certainly private photographs. In London | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
today, people were sympathetic. have been there before with | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
Princess Diana and I think it should be addressed. The poor girl | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
will be afraid to take her socks off anywhere she goes now. What | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
pictures British newspapers choose to publish is increasingly | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
irrelevant in a world of social media and the global Internet. The | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
law too is struggling to keep ufplt I think the geneny is out the | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
bottle. We live in an international environment. We have social media | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
that is so different to how things were ten or 15 years ago and news | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
spreads fast and photographs are published almost instantly. | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
This French paparazzi says he can't understand the British tabloid | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
refusal to publish. I mean, it's so stupid. She's a young lady. She's | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
nice. She's not fat. She's beautiful. So you have to show them. | :07:25. | :07:33. | |
Are you going to show the pictures on your programme? Of course not. | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
So it's a kind of hypocrisy - very British. The pressure from the | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
palace combined with public sympathy for Kate and a press made | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
ultra--cautious in the run up to Lord Justice Leveson's report means | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
these photos are highly unlikely to be published by a British newspaper | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
or magazine, but that won't stop the paparazzi taking them and | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
selling them abroad. It won't stop anyone with a mobile phone taking | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
them and sharing them with their friends and it won't stop anyone | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
looking at them online. Demonstrators have attempted to | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
storm the British and German Embassies in the Sudanese capital | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
Khartoum in protest against an amateur film made in America which | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
mocks the Prophet Mohammed. Demonstrations about the film have | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
swept across many countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Our | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
Diplomatic Correspondent, Bridget Kendall, has the latest. | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
An attack today on the British and German Embassies in Sudan's capital, | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
Khartoum. The crowds couldn't breach the high | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
walls of the British compound but at the German Embassy, police | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
couldn't hold them back. The angry anti-American mood in the Muslim | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
world has spread. They broke through to scale the | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
embassy's walls, smash windows and set fire to the compound. | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
The German flag was replaced with a black Islamist one. | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
TRANSLATION: When they insult our religion under the slogan of | :09:04. | :09:12. | |
freedom and democracy, we say to hell with freedom and democracy. | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
Mounting fury to the amateurish film out of California whose | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
offences comments about the Prophet Mohammed were seen as blasphemous | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
and deeply insulted to -- insulting to Muslims. I condemn the anti- | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
Islamic video. Still, this cannot be a justification for the outbreak | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
of violence, this violence must stop immediately. | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
This week's protests first grabbed the world's attention in Libya | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
where an armed mob killed American diplomats. By then, violent | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
protests were also building in Egypt and in Yemen an angry crowd | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
pre-ly broke into the US mission. Today, the unrest spread further | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
with attacks in Khartoum and Tunis and protests in Lebanon, Turkey, | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
Kenya and Nigeria. Further east in Afghanistan, India, Indonesia, | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
Malaysia and Bangladesh. It's in Egypt that the protests | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
have been biggest, from early morning today in central Cairo | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
demonstrators confronted riot police, violent clashes for the | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
fourth day running. Tear gas dispersed the protesters and cement | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
barriers blocked access to the US Embassy. Elsewhere, like here in | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
Bangladesh where crowds gathered after Friday prayers, many protests | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
though angry were peaceful or heavily controlled by Security | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
Forces. What's not clear is whether this | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
wave of anger will continue to spread. | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
Police say a British girl who survived a shooting in the French | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
alps which claimed the lives of three members of her family has | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
been released from hospital and is going back to the UK. Seven-year- | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
old Zeinab Al-Hilli was shot in the shoulder and sustained head | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
injuries in the attack near Annecy last week. Her father died, along | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
with his wife and her mother, and a local cyclist. A 32-year-old woman | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
has been arrested in connection with the murder of a university | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
graduate in Somerset. The body of 23-year-old Catherine Wells-Burr | :11:10. | :11:19. | |
was discovered in a burnt out car in a field close to the A583 near | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
Ilminster. Two other men have been eliminated from the inquiry. The | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, has criticised the Chief Constable | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
of West Yorkshire for making what he called ill-judged and | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
insensitive comments about the Hillsborough disaster. Yesterday, | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
Sir Norman Bettison said the behaviour of Liverpool fans impeded | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
the work of police at the stadium in 199. Sir Norman, who was | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
involved in South Yorkshire police's internal investigation | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
into the disaster, has denied asking officers to manipulate their | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
reports to shift the blame on to Liverpool fans. | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
Danny Savage is outside the headquarters of West Yorkshire | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
police in Wakefield. Mr Bettison clarified his statement today. Has | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
that done enough to satisfy the families of those who died at | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
Hillsborough? Well, the origins of this row were | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
yesterday when Sir Norman Bettison made that statement about his | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
involvement, saying that he didn't have anything to hide. He then did | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
go on to say that the fans made the job of the police harder than it | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
needed to be. The Deputy Prime Minister called those comments | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
insensitive today and told him to clarify what he had to say. He did | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
that very promptly and he did say that the fans of Liverpool were in | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
no way to blame. "I'm sorry if my earlier statement caused further | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
upset. My role was never to besmirch the fans there". There are | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
still plenty of people calming for his resignation, especially those | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
concerned with the Hillsborough disaster. One other thing, the | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
Chief Constable of South Yorkshire has outlined the charges that South | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
Yorkshire police may end up faceling in the wake of the | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
revelations this week, saying there could be the potential for | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
corporate manslaughter charges, the possibility of manslaughter | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
investigations against individuals and a look at possible misconduct | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
in office. This really does underline the serious charges which | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
could follow on from this Hillsborough inquiry this week. | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
A city trader who lost �1.4 billion of his firm's money in high risk | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
trades went on trial today. The jury heard that Kweku Adoboli | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
exceeded his trading limits at UBS in a bid to get a bigger bonus and | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
boost his ego. The Swiss Bank's share price dropped by 10% as a | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
result of his actions says the prosecution. He denies charges of | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
fraud and false accounting. Emma Simpson reports from Southwark | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
Crown Court. Kweku Adoboli, the City trader | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
accused today of being a gambler two a way from destroying | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
Switzerland's largest bank. The court heard he racked up huge | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
losses through dodgy deals and deceit, a greedy banker out of | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
control and out for himself. He worked for UBS, a global | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
investment bank. The jury heard he joined as a graduate trainee, | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
rising through the ranks here in London to become a senior trusted | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
member of the bank's trading team. But he cheated the system since | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
2008. The prosecution claim that Mr | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
Adoboli exceeded trading limits, falsified records to balance the | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
books, as well as inventing income and clients. | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
The court heard that Mr Adoboli's luck ran out at the start of last | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
summer when losses started to spiral. The prosecution barrister, | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
Sasha Wass QC told the court that he was throwing money wildly into | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
the market, hoping to dig himself out of the mess. Like most gamblers, | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
she said, he believed he had the magic touch, like most gamblers | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
when he lost, he caused chaos and disaster. | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
The court heard that at one point, Kweku Adoboli had exposed this bank | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
to potential losses of more than �7 billion, putting its very existence | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
at risk. It was only when things started to unravel and questions | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
were being asked that he finally revealed what he had done. | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
The court heard details of a bombshell e-mail to a colleague | :15:15. | :15:25. | |
:15:25. | :15:28. | ||
The prosecution claims he acted alone and later changed his story | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
to implicate colleagues. The court heard that Kweku Adoboli's defence | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
will argue that the bank's management were complicit in this | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
fraud. He denies all the charges in a case that is expected to last | :15:41. | :15:50. | |
eight weeks. Our top story tonight: | :15:50. | :15:53. | |

economics correspondent, Hugh Pym, Excessive regulations, form-filling, | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
bureaucratic procedures, for sort of thing most businesses hate. It | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
is known as red tape and today saw the latest initiative from the | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
government to cut through the burden on employers. This company | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
in Telford makes specialist components for industries like | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
electronics and aerospace. It wants to expand but says it needs more | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
flexible rules for managing its work force. Her at the moment | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
there's a lot of red tape. There's a lot of procedures you have to go | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
through, a lot of paperwork. You have to involve a lot of people | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
within the organisation. Somehow we need to simplify VAT. Ministers | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
believe companies like this would employ more people if it was easier | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
to get rid of underperforming workers. They say latest measures | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
will help small businesses. They are worried if things go wrong and | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
they find themselves in a tribunal with complicated procedures, costs | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
and delays. We want to help them, but we don't want to undermine | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
basic labour rights and create insecurity. The employment law | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
insecurity. The employment law changes include measures to allow | :17:52. | :17:55. | |

move on, her plans for streamlined employment tribunals and a cut in | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
employment tribunals and a cut in the maximum payout of just over | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
�72,000 allowed for unfair dismissal claims. Labour say | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
changes to the rules on wrongful dismissal will erode the safeguards | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
for employees in the workplace. They are making it harder for | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
people to claim for unfair dismissal and they are also | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
reducing the amount of compensation you can receive at the tribunal | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
where you have been treated badly. Until now that has acted as a good | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
deterrent for unscrupulous employers. Today's package comes a | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
few months after a political row inside the coalition. At Downing | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
Street had commissioned a review by the business leader Adrian Beecroft. | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
He recommended socle know full dismissal, giving employers a free | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
hand to get rid of employers -- employees when they wanted. Vince | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
Cable has confirmed he will not go down that route. Some businesses | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
say he should have done so, removing more of what they see as | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
red tape in the workplace which restricts expansion and growth. | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
A serious case review is to be carried out at Rochdale in Greater | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
Manchester, where nine Asian men were found guilty of systematically | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
grooming and sexually abusing white girls. The board that works to | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
safeguard children in the borough says it has taken the decision to | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
see if more could have been done to protect the victims. | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
The Welsh economy requires a "new deal" for jobs and growth, | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
according to Plaid Cymru. Addressing her party's annual | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
conference for the first time as leader, Leanne Wood said her party | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
should back a green agenda and use Wales' natural resources to their | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
full potential. Live now to our Wales political editor, Betsan | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
Powys. One of the first acts of a Plaid Cymru government would be to | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
establish Allah own national Power House, green energy, investing in | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
our national infrastructure from tidal energy to community owned | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
wind and hydropower. Focused on our own energy needs and where | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
appropriate, exporting this valuable commodity. But | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
repatriating for profits and reinvesting them for the benefit of | :20:00. | :20:08. | |
the people of Wales. We can speak to Betsan Powys. This marks a | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
change of direction for Plaid Cymru. It does. You are seeing the | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
relatively new leader of a party that has been losing ground in | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
Wales. Plaid Cymru came third behind the Conservatives at the | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
last Welsh election. They are trying to recover break the party's | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
message and car felt some new turf. We didn't hear the word | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
independence mentioned, nothing of the Welsh language and culture. The | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
focus was on the economy, on slamming Westminster's public | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
spending cuts, questioning Labour's contribution in Cardiff Bay and | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
offering voters Kitts Green at New Deal. What Leanne Wood is saying it | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
OK, you don't support independence for now in Wales, you think Wales | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
is to pour, it is, but give us your vote and we can prove that in | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
future Wales could be better off and therefore independence could be | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
a realistic prospect. The next Welsh elections are not until 2016 | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
so Leanne Wood will be keenly aware that by then, she will have to find | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
many ways of closing this new deal with Welsh voters. Thank you. | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
Thousands of people lined the streets of Glasgow this afternoon | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
as Scotland's Olympic and Paralympic heroes took part in an | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
official victory parade. Sir Chris Hoy spoke of his joy at being part | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
of the record-breaking team. In the last few minutes, a similar parade | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
has been taking place in Cardiff. Let's go live now to our Scotland | :21:33. | :21:42. | |
:21:43. | :21:43. | ||
correspondent, Lorna Gordon, who's Those celebrations in Cardiff just | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
getting under way now. The celebrations here in Glasgow have | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
been going on all afternoon. Scotland, as part of Jean bit -- | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
Team GB, punched above its weight at these Olympics and thousands | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
turned out on the streets of Glasgow this afternoon to celebrate, | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
to salute that incredible sporting achievement. | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
It is Scotland's turn to celebrate its summer sporting heroes. And in | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
the country's biggest city, Glasgow, the weather cleared as crowds | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
gathered to welcome the athletes back home. Their medals, once again, | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
on display. Unbelievable reception, everybody has been cheering and | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
waving and asking for autographs. Such is hugely emotional day for | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
everybody to see the support we have had. It really has been a | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
nationwide gains, not just the London Games. The sporting action | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
centred on London, but their successes were closely followed | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
here and 1,000 showed their pride in what had been achieved. It has | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
been a wonderful event for the whole of Britain and to see of the | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
Scots who have done so well, it has been wonderful. For ease guys made | :22:56. | :23:05. | |
it, so they did. -- V's guys. A quarter of the medals from Scotland. | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
This was about celebrating Scottish Olympians and Paralympians win as, | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
too. Side by side and cheered by all. For and plastic to be back in | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
Glasgow and to have the crowds coming down. -- fantastic. | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
celebrating a great summer of sport and hoping to build on the success | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
with the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014. | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
Those last few months of sport topped off, of course, with Andy | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
Murray, a gold medallist, winning a Grand Slam earlier this week at the | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
US Open. It was hoped he would be here this afternoon, but he is said | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
to be exhausted after four months of tennis and he is said to be | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
devastated that he didn't make it to what turned out to be a very | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
special afternoon at of Olympic celebrations. | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
Discovering a new painting by one of the world's most renowned | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
artists is something experts dream of yet happens rarely. But cutting | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
edge forensic techniques are making it possible to establish the | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
authenticity of pictures in ways not thought possible before. As a | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
result, paintings by some of the great masters that were either | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
unknown or considered fakes are now being re-evaluated. I followed the | :24:21. | :24:31. | |
:24:31. | :24:33. | ||
investigation of a painting by one Blue Dancers, a painting by one of | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
the great Impressionist master's, Edgar Degas. At least it was until | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
the 1950s, when the foremost Degas expert decided it was fake. Its | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
owners were left holding a painting once extremely valuable, now worth | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
a few hundred pounds at best. What didn't he like about the painting? | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
A few things. The face of the dancer, which he called trivial. | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
The position of it, he said it was not a formal pose. And for | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
draughtsmanship at the head. Paintings like those at the Musee | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
d'Orsay in Paris at Degas are the most sought-after and fakes are | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
common. After lengthy investigation, it is possible to trace the bills | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
of sale of the Blue Dancers back to the moment it left the studio in | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
1882. But today's Blue dancer could have been a later copied of the | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
genuine work. Art experts Philip Mould took up painting to be tested | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
for the precise pigments used. You're going for the bonnet of the | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
dancer. Yes. It is the most obvious area. If there is detain him white | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
in the painting, used only after Degas's death, the painting had to | :25:44. | :25:52. | |
be fake. This is very encouraging. The main elements found on lead, | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
which is good because it indicates that lead White was used and not | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
titanium. As opposed to the dreaded titanium? Yet. What about the | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
criticisms about the positions of the dancer? In one of the rehearsal | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
rooms at the Paris Opera House where Degas loved to paint, a | :26:13. | :26:21. | |
ballerina tries to recreate the pose. Looking down, facing forward? | :26:21. | :26:29. | |
That is exactly it. That is it. The new evidence about the Blue Dancers | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
was enough to persuade the world's foremost Degas authority that the | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
painting is genuine. Brace yourselves. We have the pleasure to | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
inform you that the painting described below fair to have | :26:42. | :26:50. | |
submitted is an authentic work by Edgar Degas. Fantastic. Real lesson | :26:50. | :26:57. | |
in not giving up. Blue dancer can now take its place in galleries | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
around the world. A painting rediscovered, recognised as from | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
the brush of one of the finest Impressionist masters. | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
And you can see more on that story on "Fake or Fortune" on BBC One | :27:10. | :27:11. | |

Let's take a look at the weather now with Alex Deakin. | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
Most places having a decent day tomorrow. It will be chilly first | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
thing, but a bright and breezy Saturday across the UK. Not as | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
windy as today. As for Sunday, more on that in a moment. Some rain in | :27:31. | :27:37. | |
the forecast. Tonight it is dry. Of the winds are dying down. One or | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
two scattered showers over north- west England and north-west | :27:40. | :27:45. | |
Scotland, but for most it is a dry night. It will turn chilly. One or | :27:45. | :27:51. | |
two mist and fog patches forming, too. In rural areas, temperatures | :27:51. | :27:58. | |
as low as five Celsius. The mist and fog clears away and then it | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
will be a fine day. Across eastern areas, we should hang on to the | :28:02. | :28:08. | |
sunny spells. In the West, there will be a bit more cloud. Maybe | :28:08. | :28:13. | |
even a spot of drizzle, but the north-east Scotland, a fine day. | :28:13. | :28:16. | |
Temperatures might reach 20 Celsius on the Moray Firth. Bright and | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
breezy with sunny spells in Northern Ireland. Have more cloud | :28:20. | :28:26. | |
in north-west England and North Wales. Maybe a spot of drizzle. | :28:26. | :28:30. | |
Inland, we should see sunny spells and further east, feeling warmer | :28:30. | :28:36. | |
than today because the winds will be lighter. Up it will be a dry | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
Saturday evening foremost, but we will start to see a change in the | :28:40. | :28:45. | |
north-west. Wet weather pushing him. First thing on Sunday, a grey start | :28:45. | :28:50. | |
across southern Scotland. That rain edging across northern England and | :28:50. | :28:53. | |
eventually into the Midlands. Many southern and eastern counties | :28:53. | :28:58. | |
staying bright until late in the day. In summary, Saturday is fairly | :28:58. | :29:01. |
