After the Hillsborough disaster, now the biggest ever independent | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
investigation into police wrongdoing. 96 Liverpool fans died | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
in 1989. Police officers will be investigated to see if any should | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
face criminal charges. Justice demands that we do whatever is | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
possible to investigate cull paibility to any offence which may | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
have been committed. We've had the term. Now it is our turn for | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
justice. This is the beginning of it. Also - the Jimmy Savile scandal. | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
Police are pursuing 340 lines of inquiry and talking to 40 potential | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
victims A big hike in gas prices. 11.5 million customers will have to | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
pay more. Heavy rain is causing flooding in parts of Scotland, | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
blocking roads and damaging property. I'm missing half my house. | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
I'm missing the road, the neighbours - everything. Nothing is | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
left. I'll be here with Sportsday later in the hour on the BBC News | :01:10. | :01:14. | |

qualifiers involving the home Good evening. Welcome to the BBC | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
News at Six. The biggest ever independent investigation into | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
police wrongdoing is to be carried out following a damning report into | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
the Hillsborough disaster. The IPCC will investigate what went wrong on | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
the day in 1989 when 96 Liverpool fans died and the alleged cover-up | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
afterwards. A report revealed more than 100 police statements had been | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
altered. The Director of Public Prosecutions will investigate | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
whether there are grounds to bring charges against officers, such as | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
manslaughter. Our correspondent is outside Hillsborough Stadium. | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
since Britain's worst ever sporting disaster happened here, those | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
affected by it have been on a long and winding legal quest. Last month, | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
Hillsborough independent report provided them with many of the | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
answers they longed for. It has also paved the way for a further | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
long legal journey. Ever since 96 Liverpool fans were | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
crushed at Hillsborough, the families of those who died have | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
wanted those responsible to be held to account. South Yorkshire Police | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
were blamed, but no-one has ever faced criminal charges for the | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
disaster. Today, the director of criminal prosecutions said legal | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
action could now follow. He'll investigate whether there's enough | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
new evidence to bring charges. The Independent Police Complaints | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
Commission has also announced its biggest ever investigation. Justice | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
demands that we do whatever is possible to investigate blame for | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
any offence which may have been committed. To do so thoroughly and | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
fairly. The IPCC will concentrate its investigation on the following | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
points - the amendment of police statements. 116 were changed to | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
remove negative comments about the South Yorkshire force, who ordered | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
the changes and who was involved. The supply of myself leading | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
information. The allegation that lies were told to the media and MPs, | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
in an attempt to shift the blame from the police to the fans T | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
actions of police officers immediately after the disaster, | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
including why they checked the blood-alcohol levels of the dead | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
and injured and the role of West Midlands Police, which was involved | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
in three previous inquiries, including providing evidence to the | :03:59. | :04:07. | |
Coroner. Those who are bereaved and who survived have welcomed the new | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
investigations. Now it is our turn for justice. I think is the | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
beginning of it. Retired and current police officers could be | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
prosecuted. Around 200 who were working at the match are still | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
serving today. This was always going to happen, that the IPCC were | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
going to take this on and decide to run a very large inquiry. The terms | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
of that inquiry clearly will be very much a matter for the IPCC. We, | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
as South Yorkshire Police, stand ready to co-operate in any way | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
whatsoever. The Chief Constable of South Yorkshire is said to have | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
been involved in a police cover-up campaign. That will be investigated, | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
along with a new allegation that he attempted to influence the way | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
complaints against him were handled. The investigations are likely to | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
take many months. Nearly 500,000 pages of documentation will be | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
examined. Those who have campaigned for more than two decades say they | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
are prepared to wait longer for justice. The two investigations | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
announced today may ultimately may not be the only measures to result | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
from the independent report because some families would like to see new | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
invests ordered as well. The Attorney General has said he too | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
will examine all the fresh evidence out there to see whether that may | :05:22. | :05:32. | |
:05:32. | :05:33. | ||
be possible. We have two inquiries, the DPP and | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
the IPCC - why have these now and on such a large scale? The IPCC has | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
gone probably further than a lot of people had expected today, both in | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
terms of its remit and in its tone. There are good reasons for that. At | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
the moment, I think the police and the body that oversees the police, | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
the IPCC, I think their credibility, their legitimacy is at risk. There | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
is a determination to do something to try and restore confidence in | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
both of those. If you remember, of course, you have police officers | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
under investigation right now for all kinds of offences after the | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
phone hacking scandal. The IPCC itself has been the subject of | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
criticism for not doing more to hold the police to account. In some | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
ways they are looking for an opportunity to show that they can | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
do something to make their point. I think it fits into a broader point | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
here. The independent Hillsborough report, what it did is it showed | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
that the checks and balances in our society, that effectively ensure | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
our house is in order, did not work. We had a judicial inquiry, | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
parliamentary scrutiny, independent oversight. Yet, we know they never | :06:41. | :06:51. | |
:06:51. | :07:28. | ||
got to the truth and in the end the Dozens saying they were abused. | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
Jim'll Fix It. The actress Julie Fernandez appeared on it and | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
remembers feeling very uncomfortable. He is a predator. It | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
was done in a studio. A room full of busy people. His hand was just | :07:42. | :07:50. | |
on my hand, on my arm. It was too intimate. It lingered for too many | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
seconds. He was a man with special privileges. Access to Broadmoor. | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
Children's homes. One former resident says he was reported after | :08:01. | :08:11. | |
:08:11. | :08:26. | ||
This afternoon, a new allegation against Jimmy Savile. Claiming he | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
assaulted a ten-year-old boy at Jersey's children home. A number of | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
institutions being drawn in continues to grow. Through it all, | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
a question. What stopped this coming out sooner? For instance, | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
Newsnight broadcast its investigation into Savile last | :08:44. | :08:54. | |
:08:54. | :09:10. | ||
night. No matter of proving institutional failure, a key reason | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
why it was dropped. Today, speaking on 5 Live, the Deputy Prime | :09:13. | :09:23. | |
:09:23. | :09:34. | ||
Minister echoed what many are saying. I ask why did this remain | :09:34. | :09:42. | |
buried. The facts about him speak for themselves. While we have been | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
on air, the Director-General of the BBC, George Entwistle, has said | :09:47. | :09:57. | |
:09:57. | :09:59. | ||
there'll be too internal inquiries. Our correspondent is here with us | :09:59. | :10:09. | |
:10:09. | :10:14. | ||
now. Who snue -- who knew what, the second is more specific. That is | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
all about Newsnight. They will look into that investigation. December | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
last year - why was it dropped? Was there any undue influence from | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
above, given that the BBC was about to broadcast those two tribute | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
programmes to Jimmy Savile. When did they begin? The first can only | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
begin when the police have completed their report. Given we | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
have 340 lines of inquiry, who knows when that will happen. The | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
Newsnight one, well we know already a BBC executive has been appointed. | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
We know there have been conversations with members of the | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
Newsnight team. Two energy companies have announced | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
an increase in the cost of gas and electricity from next month. 11.5 | :11:00. | :11:09. | |
million million will be affected. British Gas will rise prices by 6%. | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
Here's our chief economics correspondent. First it was British | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
Gas with an �80 increase next month. Then N power a �10 09 price hike, | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
burning another hole in customers' wallets. The companies blame the | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
rising costs of gas supplies and the need to invest more in new | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
energy. Why don't you sell energy at a loss, through the winter, but | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
if we did, we wouldn't be able to invest in jobs. Wouldn't be able to | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
bring new sources of energy to Britain. Wouldn't be able to help | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
customers this their homes with energy efficiency. The explanations | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
are no consolation for this couple. They are retired and are in poor | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
health. They have been struggling with the bills as they are now, so | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
news of next month's price rise has not gone down well. These bills | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
keep going up. These companies are greedy any way. They made a lot of | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
profit. It is profit, profit, profit. They don't give anything | :12:07. | :12:14. | |
back to the people. So how do consumer prices relate to the cost | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
of energy? Ofgem published this chart. A few years ago household | :12:18. | :12:26. | |
bills closely tracked wholesale costs. The gap has widened. | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
Consumer groups say the latest increase is harder to justify after | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
British Gas Residential profits rose by nearly one-quarter in the | :12:36. | :12:46. | |
:12:46. | :12:46. | ||
first half of this year. The purpose of rises costs is to | :12:46. | :12:54. | |
There is a valid reason for the increases which have been put | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
forward, to consider the amount of investment needed, both in terms of | :12:58. | :13:05. | |
new power stations, but also with regards to the actual transmission | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
and distribution, delivering the gas and electricity to customers. | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
Suppliers blame green energy policies, with I they claim add to | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
the cost burden. Millions of customers will be thinking about | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
how they will afford the increases. British Gas and NPower have | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
followed Scottish & Southern with price hikes. Other supplies seem | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
certain to follow. Services of remembrance have been | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
taking place in Indonesia, Australia and London to mark the | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
tenth anniversary of the Bali bombings. 200 people, including 28 | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
from Britain, were killed in the bombings in two nightclubs. It was | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
the worst terror attack on Indonesian soil. The Afghan | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
Government welcomes the arrest of seven Royal Marines on suspicion of | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
murdering an insurgent. It is believed footage obtained from a | :13:54. | :14:03. | |
laptop of a serviceman led to the arrests. 3 Commando Brigade were | :14:03. | :14:12. | |
British forces fighting in Helmand operate under strict rules of | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
engagement, even if it is sometimes hard to tell friend from foe. 3 | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
Commando Brigade were based there during the summer of 2011, when | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
they saw seven of their number killed. This is believed to be the | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
first time British forces have been arrested here in the UK on | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
suspicion of murder in Afghanistan. Although several inquiries are | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
continuing into incidents in Iraq. The MoD has said it will carry out | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
an internal review to identify any less sons that need to be learned. | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
It is understood the incident came to light after civilian police in | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
the UK last weeked assed an. They discovered a video on his laptop | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
showing an Afghan compound and what appears to be an injured insurgent. | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
It is not clear what happened next, but the arrests of the seven | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
Marines suggest the Royal Military Police believe there is a case to | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
answer. The basic rules of engagement for British forces are | :15:09. | :15:16. | |
known as "Card Alpha." International rules differ. The | :15:16. | :15:23. | |
UK's rules of engagement are strict, which state lethal force is per | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
missable only if troops' lives are at force. Why doesn't it happen | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
more often. The human pressure they are under it is amazing the | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
discipline is as good as it is. Overall they conducted 40,000 | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
patrols after overtaking control of the task force last year, meaning | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
thousands of split-second decisions. British troops are well aware that | :15:47. | :15:57. | |
:15:57. | :16:23. | ||
they can be prosecuted if they get They must decide whether to charge | :16:23. | :16:33. | |

the servicemen or have more time to Heavy rain is chording flooding in | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
parts of Scotland. Some residents had a narrow escape when an | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
overflowing river tore down part of the house. Our correspondent is in | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
Aberdeenshire, in Stonehaven. The river looks very high. Yes, this | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
was not a winter storm, just a lot of heavy rain which simply kept on | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
falling. The River Carron is lapping at the gardens of these | :17:34. | :17:43. | |
houses this evening, but for one village in Fife, it was a lot worse. | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
The villagers of Dura Den woke up this morning to find that their | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
road had become a river. A fortnight's worth of rain had come | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
down overnight. The owner of this house was woken by a neighbour, | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
urging him to get out. They are missing half my house, the road, my | :18:02. | :18:09. | |
neighbours, nothing is left. The damage inside the house as well, | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
the whole of the bottom floor is a river now. Everything has gone. | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
road could have collapsed completely, but the emergency | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
services were on the scene anyway. Even the fire fighters were amazed | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
at what the water had done. We have just spoken to the officer in | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
charge, and the water level you can see at the moment, it was | :18:33. | :18:40. | |
considerably deeper than this. It was a very precarious situation. | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
Further north, dozens of other communities were preparing for the | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
worst. In Stonehaven, they were doing everything they could to stop | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
the rising waters. They have been flooded here before. For some, it | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
was already too late. It is just worrying, clearly. It comes from | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
the front of the street to the back of the street and then comes under | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
the old houses. The river emptied into the sea just a few hundred | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
yards from these homes. As high tide approached at lunchtime, the | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
levels crept up and up. By now, there were more 30 flood warnings | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
in place across Scotland. Although the rain is easing, for some | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
communities, the danger has not passed, because there is still a | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
lot of water to come down off the hills, meaning that of most of the | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
35 flood warnings are still in place this evening, they are | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
generally applying to the low-lying farmland. As for here in Stonehaven, | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
the next high tide is due at about midnight, so it will still be a | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
nervy night. The government chief whip, Andrew Mitchell, is facing | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
renewed calls to resign over his outburst at police officers in | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
Downing Street last month. Representatives of the Police | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
Federation met with him in his constituency in the last hour. They | :20:03. | :20:11. | |
have described his position as untenable. Our political | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
correspondent Ross Hawkins it is in Sutton Coldfield. So, the meeting | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
has just broken up - what more can you tell us about what went on? | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
This allegation, that he called police officers plebs has hung over | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
him for weeks. If this meeting was meant to have cleared the air, then | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
frankly, it has been a complete failure. Andrew Mitchell stands by | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
his denial of saying those words. But the Police Federation says he | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
should resign. They have a political angle, they were opposed | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
to many of the changes in policing, but the political reality this | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
evening is that it looks like David Cameron will return to Parliament | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
next week with Andrew Mitchell still as the Chief Whip, looking | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
forward to hearing lots of jokes about police and plebs, which for a | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
party which is desperate to prove that it is not privileged, will not | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
be very funny at all. It was one prime-time TV appearance which | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
Barack Obama would rather forget. His performance in the latest | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
presidential TV debate was largely pound, including by himself. So, | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
last night's Vice-Presidential debate was greatly significant. | :21:21. | :21:30. | |
Both candidates were determined to get the other hand. The young gun | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
and the old warrior. When Joe Biden was first elected to Congress, Paul | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
Ryan was just two years old. They began with foreign policy, and the | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
Beasant killing of the US Ambassador to Libya. It took the | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
President two weeks to acknowledge that this was a terrorist attack. | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
We are watching the unravelling of the Obama foreign policy. With all | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
due respect, Balzac. Not a single thing he said his accurate. That | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
set the tone for what would become quite a performance from the vice- | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
president. It featured sarcasm, exasperated body-language and | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
interruptions, lots of them. Mathematically possible. It is | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
mathematically possible, it has been done before. It has never been | :22:21. | :22:29. | |
done before. It has been done a couple of times. But Paul Ryan | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
remained unruffled, defending Republican policies on tax and | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
health care, and keeping the economic focus firmly on the | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
incumbent. President Obama, he had his chance. 23 million Americans | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
are struggling for work today, 15% of Americans are in poverty. This | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
is not what a real recovery looks like. You deserve better. Folks, | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
use your common sense, who do you trust on this? Out on the campaign | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
trail, Mick Rooney was watching it over a pizza. The President was | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
watching on board Air Force One. -- Mitt Romney. Barack Obama is no | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
doubt relieved that his running mate has put a bit of fire back | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
into their campaign. But the opinion polls are tightening, and | :23:14. | :23:22. | |
much will be hinging on the two remaining presidential debates. It | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
is a Scottish coastline so remote that it has no mains electricity, | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
no mobile phone reception, and the nearest road is two day's hike away. | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
A new project linking communities to the World Wide Web has been | :23:38. | :23:46. | |
achieving speedy results. Rory Cellan-Jones reports. On a stormy | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
Highland morning, we'll off in search of a broadband miracle - | :23:50. | :23:57. | |
remote places, which are getting a 21st century Internet connection | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
through a community scheme. In Arnisdale, mobile phones do not | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
work, but they have got a decent brought them signal. Nearby is | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
somewhere even more challenging. Over there is the most remote part | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
of mainland Britain. We are going there to see if we can find | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
somebody with a broadband connection. An Edinburgh academic | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
who spends a lot of time in Arnisdale is the man who caught the | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
broadband scheme off the ground. are doing it wirelessly across from | :24:28. | :24:36. | |
the Gaelic college, and we are relaying it through a series of | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
masts to several places, and back to the Isle of Skye. Waiting for us | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
on the other side, a farmer who does not have mains electricity, | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
who takes his sheep to market by boat, but who is also getting the | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
new broadband connection, beamed over from Skye. It is fast enough | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
for a video call to his son in Australia. It is a bit grey and | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
overcast. This is DIY broadband, requiring a bit of effort from the | :25:05. | :25:11. | |
customer. We actually put up all the masts ourselves, and all the | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
electronics. Occasionally, we go up to rearrange everything in the box | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
up there! Back in Arnisdale, we found more people depending on | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
their broadband. These two were planning a big event. Willy, | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
meanwhile, was keeping in touch with family around the world. | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
have been really happy with it. I would hate not to have it now. I | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
never had a computer until this happened. I am just slowly getting | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
used to it. There are now plans to make this network much faster. | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
These communities, and many like them, are finding that if they want | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
decent broadband, they have to do it themselves. | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
We have already seen that Scotland has suffered with the range. Let's | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
have a look at the weather now. It have a look at the weather now. It | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
is looking fairly miserable, actually, in Scotland. Yesterday, | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
we were talking about localised floods in Devon. This is the same | :26:11. | :26:19. | |
system, now parked across the far north of Scotland. Still an amber | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
warning in force, due to the intensity of the rainfall across | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
Scotland. Although the rain is starting Tricky's somewhat, with | :26:27. | :26:34. | |
the emphasis being a cross Caithness over the next few hours. | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
-- starting to ease. This front will be drifting towards the team | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
or overnight tonight. And we have still got the low pressure up over | :26:44. | :26:52. | |
the far north of Scotland. So, we will start off our Saturday with | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
that area of low pressure, feeling quite chilly. Initially spells and | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
scattered showers elsewhere. I suspect by the middle of the | :27:01. | :27:08. | |
afternoon, there will not be much change in Scotland. A better day in | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
prospect as the afternoon goes on. Northern Ireland, clouding over | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
into the afternoon. Sunny spells and scattered showers elsewhere, | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
some of them fairly potent across the north of England. Temperatures | :27:22. | :27:32. | |
fairly uniform. There seems to be a level of agreement finally about | :27:32. | :27:39. | |
Sunday. This area of low pressure stays to the south of the channel. | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
And that weather front, still bringing some patchy rain into | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some decent sunny spells for England and | :27:45. | :27:52. | |
Wales. So, in summary, for the Wales. So, in summary, for the | :27:52. | :28:01. | |
weekend... Our main headline - the biggest | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
ever of independent investigation into police wrongdoing is to be | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
carried out, following a damning report into the Hillsborough | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
disaster. And while we have been on air, the BBC Director-General has | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
announced more details of the corporation's inquiry into the | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
allegations surrounding Jimmy Savile. Despite our efforts to make | :28:19. | :28:23. | |
clear our belief that the decision to drop the Newsnight investigation | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
was taken properly, for sound editorial reasons, people have | :28:27. | :28:33. | |
continued to speculate. This is damaging to the BBC, and it is a | :28:33. | :28:39. | |
cloud of suspicion which cannot be allowed to continue. The BBC | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
executive board and I have therefore ordered it in the | :28:42. | :28:47. |
