The Government pays over �2 million to the man who claims MI6 was | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
involved in adopting him and forcibly taking him to Colonel | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
Gaddafi's Libya. Sami al-Saadi says he was imprisoned and tortured when | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
he was returned to Tripoli. His lawyer is critical of the | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
Government. What is rather disappointing is the fact that the | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
British government is continuing, in the face of all the evidence, to | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
try and deny complicity. Also tonight, the controversial | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
method for extracting gas, known as fracking, is given the go-ahead | :00:37. | :00:40. | |

opponent of the former Libyan leader Colonel -- of Colonel | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
Gaddafi as he says they were guilty of abducting him and taking him to | :01:59. | :02:07. | |
Colonel Gaddafi. They kidnapped him and his family, it is alleged, and | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
taken to Libya. Despite the payout the Government has not admitted | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
liability in the case. Sami al-Saadi is a Libyan, an | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
Islamist leader and long-time opponent of the Gaddafi regime. He | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
says Britain betrayed him eight years ago and helped force his | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
organised return to Tripoli, where he was imprisoned and tortured by | :02:30. | :02:36. | |

in Hong Kong. He says he and his wife and four children were victims | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
of what he says was kidnapped. The plane stopped him Bangkok and when | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
five Libyan agents joined the flight, he knew then the fate which | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
awaited him. He was accused of plotting to kill Colonel Gaddafi. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
At a higher court, Britain has decided to cut short his case | :03:18. | :03:28. | |
against the Government, MI5 and MI6. -- at the High Court. He will be | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
paid for legal costs. The Government insists it has not | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
admitted any liability and nor as the court found them liable. But he | :03:36. | :03:45. | |
:03:46. | :03:51. | ||
He is obviously disappointed there is no acknowledgement of their | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
wrongdoing after all the talk about how Gaddafi was a monster and the | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
other regimes in the West are the ones that recognise the rule of law | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
and democracy and don't believe in torture. He was very upset. | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
Government says the intelligence services cannot defend themselves | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
in open court and cannot disclose details which would harm vital | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
future operations to protect the people of Britain. But the methods | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
used to force him into prison under a brutal dictator Britain later | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
fought to bring down are now under greater scrutiny than ever before. | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
James Robbins is here now. Can you give some of the wider context? | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
picture that emerges from today's case is murky but that discovery of | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
a vast trove of intelligence documents, some British, some | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
American, some Libyan, told us a lot, and frankly it indicate to the | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
CIA and British intelligence in a degree of co-operation and | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
collusion with Colonel Gaddafi's intelligence services that people | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
had only previously suspected. Most of this happened under Tony Blair | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
at a time when Colonel Gaddafi had been rehabilitated, if you like, | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
and the public mind, or at least in the minds of several Western | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
governments, so they were paying back Colonel Gaddafi by giving him | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
people who were of interest to him. That is how it is alleged Sami al- | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
Saadi was forced on to the aeroplane. Estate and was put out | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
this evening by Jack Straw and he said, at all times I was scrupulous | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
in carrying out my duties in accordance with the law but he says | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
he hopes to be able to say much more about this in the future at | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
what he calls an appropriate time. I think he is hinting there is a | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
vast accumulation of cases to do with Guantanamo Bay as well as | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
Libya that top before the courts and it is owe -- only after those | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
are over that Jack Straw will give more of their side of the story. | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
Her its supporters say they could provide cheap gas for decades to | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
come. Its detractors say it will drag us | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
and keep us hooked on gas for decades to come. The process, | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
fracking, extracting gas from rocks beneath the ground, or was carried | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
out in Lancashire last year. It caused an earthquake. But we give | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
cheaper bills? When drilling began last year | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
implacable the hope was to find gas. Instead, the controversial process | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
caused earth tremors on a site that was shut down. 18 months on, the | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
God now says shale gas exploration is safe. Based on the latest | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
evidence and advice, I have concluded that in principle, | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
fracking for shale gas can be allowed to resume subject to new | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
controls. It will be subject to Seismicity. Holes like this are | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
drilled into the rock and sand, water and chemicals are forced in | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
at high pressure, breaking open the rock and allowing this to happen. | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
Gas trapped for millions of years is released and can be piped to the | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
surface. Here in Lancashire, this site has been prepped over the last | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
few months. Drilling could start here potentially from the new year. | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
But of course the big questions are, just how much shale gas is down | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
there and what impact could it have on our own domestic energy bills? | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
The company behind the fracking project is certainly bullish. | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
assessment is that there are 200 trillion feet down and the ground | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
so even if we were unable to get a tenth of what was in the ground we | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
would be able to supply Lancashire -- from Lancashire a quarter of UK | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
gas for the next 30 years. As for our bills, in America, shale gas | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
production has caused gas prices to plummet. Experts doubt that will | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
happen here cottage would help. -- but it could help. We are not | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
buying it from Russia or on the open market. So for once, if there | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
is gas in these rocks, we might not see the gas prices go up the next | :08:10. | :08:18. | |
time they do in Europe. But some say the risks outweigh the rewards. | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
Environmentalists claim fracking can pollute our drinking water and | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
will keep us hooked on gas for decades to come. It is far too soon | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
to be giving it the green light and we think it is outrageous the | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
Chancellor has been offering tax breaks to the shale gas industry | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
were more we need to be doing is moving away from fossil fuels and | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
developing green energy sources. go the lights on involves tough | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
choices but here in the north-west of England, fracking is back and it | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
could be coming to a place near you. -- keeping the lights on. | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
The process has been highly controversial in Lancashire and | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
processes -- protesters say it will cause immense harm. Others say it | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
could help an ailing community. The promise is of a brighter future. | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
But shale gas is dividing opinion, especially in Lancashire, after | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
fracking caused two earth tremors. This is the crack. That was the | :09:14. | :09:23. | |
earthquake, the earth tremor. think? Are no, I know it was. | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
done there were rows in the world except here. The fear is that | :09:26. | :09:33. | |
fracking will lead to more tremors. They have had two Wells, 100% | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
failure. One has had an earthquake and damaged a well and the other, | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
this meant did not set. -- the cement did not set. The campaign | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
has now been taken to the streets. Every day, people come here to tell | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
others how they feel. The whole lifestyle and culture of this | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
country will change because of the shale gas industry. It is that big! | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
But it can be done safely? No, nor with our government! And obedience | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
to matter because the issues go beyond Lancashire. -- and it does | :10:09. | :10:18. | |
matter. There have been sides in England, Wales and Northern Ireland | :10:18. | :10:26. | |
project -- proposed for the future. Here in the Lancashire town of | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
Kirkham, some hope shale gas will provide that solution. For Sharon | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
it is about jobs and investment. Really positive for the area. It | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
will bring a lot of jobs because at the moment a lot of shops and pubs | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
are closing down. And speak to the tradesman down the road - here even | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
more enthusiasm for shale gas. can create something that will | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
bring prices down for the consumers and that will benefit, certainly | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
benefit the guys put in central heating systems in and that. Places | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
like Kirkham need jobs and Britain needs fuel. But the argument over | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
shale gas have not been settled yet. The inquest into the death of the | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
nurse who wants of the prank call from two Australian DJs has heard | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
how Jacintha Saldanha was found hanging in the nurses' quarters of | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
King Edward VII's Hospital. Henman is outside the Crown Court for us | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
now. What can you tell us? -- Helen. This is where the details of a | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
tragic death began to be formally recorded. The court heard how last | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
Friday, Jacintha Saldanha was found by work colleagues hanging in her | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
room, a nurse's accommodation near to the hospital. There were | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
injuries to her wrist. Two notes were found at the scene and a third | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
in her belongings. An inspector cuff -- told the court that friends | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
and relatives were being interviewed to try to establish the | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
sequence of events exactly that led up to her death. Emails and phone | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
calls will also be studied and statements will be taken from the | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
radio presenters in Australia who were initially made the hoax call. | :12:06. | :12:13. | |
The inquest has now been adjourned until March. | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
The Culture Secretary, Maria Miller, is to have her expenses | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
investigated by a parliamentary watchdog. It follows a complaint by | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
a Labour MP who claims she has claimed more than �90,000 in second | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
home allowances for a house occupied by her parents. She denies | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
any wrongdoing. The former Russian spy, Alexander | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
Litvinenko, was working for both British intelligence and the | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
Spanish Secret Service at the time of his murder, an inquest hearing | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
has been told. He was poisoned with polonium in London six years ago | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
and his widow claimed MI6 recruited him but failed to protect him. | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
Evidence submitted by the Government also suggests the | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
Russian state was implicated in his murder. | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
Alexander Litvinenko - a former Russian spy and fierce critic of | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
the Kremlin. He met a slow, painful death in London, poisoned by | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
radioactive polonium. But who should be held responsible for his | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
death? New evidence emerged at today's hearing. For his widow, | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
after six years of waiting, this was an important step forward. | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
would like to say I appreciate what was already done today and I am | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
looking forward to any decision which will be taken by the coroner. | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
Today's hearing was looking at the scope of the inquest. We learned | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
the British Government had provided documents pointing to the role of | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
the Russian state itself. And we learned that Mr Litvinenko's widow | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
wanted the inquest to examine if the British government had failed | :13:44. | :13:52. | |
to protect him. Prosecutors have said this man, Andrei Lugovoi, had | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
administered the polonium in a cup of tea. But the British government | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
has never previously said the Russian state was behind the | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
killing. He has always denied his role, including in a BBC interview. | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
TRANSLATION: Are we going to fight about it for the next 100 years? We | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
should be looking for a way out and the ball is not in the Russian | :14:12. | :14:19. | |
court, it is in the English court. At today's hearing, a lawyer for | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
Litvinenko's widow said the inquest should look at whether the British | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
state had failed in its duty of care towards Mr Litvinenko. The | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
reason it was said it had such a duty was because he had been a paid | :14:32. | :14:39. | |
agent of the British Secret Service, MI6. Today, the court heard the day | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
before he was poisoned at this hotel, Litvinenko met his MI6 | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
handler. MI6 had apparently put Litvinenko in touch with Spanish | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
authorities and he was due to travel to Spain. This was with | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
Andrei Lugovoi, undertaking these dangerous tasks. His lawyer said | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
therefore he should have been protected. So was Alexander | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
Litvinenko killed on the orders of the Russian Secret Service? And | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
could he have been targeted because of his relationship with the | :15:09. | :15:18. | |
British Secret Service? The inquest The Queen made a visit to the Bank | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
of England's gold vault today and ended up having a chat about how | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
the financial crisis started and who was to blame. | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
Trying her hand at high finance today - the Queen, putting her | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
signature on a special �1 million souvenir bank note. It has not | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
improved much, you know! A bank note, worth �1 million, which will | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
stay inside the bank, seemed like small change as the Queen and the | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
Duke of Edinburgh were shown the vaults where Britain's gold | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
reserves are keptd. There is �27 billion in this vault alone. That | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
is not something you see every day, even when you have been doing this | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
sort of thing for 60 years. As the tour went on, the talk turned to | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
serious matters. The Queen, remember is the monarch who once | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
asked why nobody has seen the financial crisis coming. Today an | :16:12. | :16:22. | |
official launched into a three-part lecture into what caused the crisis. | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
Both the Duke and the Queen listened intently. Then, finally, | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
it became a two-way conversation and the Queen offered a few | :16:30. | :16:40. | |
:16:40. | :16:41. | ||
thoughts of her own. First, a question about the bankers. | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
Complacency. Then a query about the regulator - the Financial Services | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
Authority. It didn't have any teeth. So, bankers become lax and the | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
regulator, perhaps, was toothless. The tuebg wanted to know, will it - | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
- the Duke wanted to know, will it happen again? Nobody knew what to | :17:01. | :17:10. | |
say. The Duke, naturally enough, had advise of his own - don't do it | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
again. Our top story tonight - the | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
Government pays over �2 million to Sami al-Saadi, who claims MI6 was | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
involved in abducting him and taking him to Colonel Gaddafi's | :17:22. | :17:30. | |

money to the Government, knowing An entirely deliberate, planned and | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
intentional act of vandalism - that is how a judge described the | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
actions of a man jailed for two years today jailed for defacing a | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
Mark Rothko painting T work, estimated to be worth millions, was | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
attacked by Wlodzimierz Umaniec. He said he was doing it in the name of | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
an artistic movement, called "yellowism." Mark Rothko's large | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
paintings, designed to evoke calm, contemplation in the viewer. That | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
was not the effect they had on Wlodzimierz Umaniec, who choose to | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
assault this work, black on maroon, with an ink pen. He said the action | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
was a work of art in the name of yellowism. The judge sentencing him | :18:37. | :18:47. | |

today for criminal damage did not He was handed with a two-year jail | :18:51. | :18:58. | |
term, which according to a fellow yell yoist was a bit harsh. He's | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
not guilty in my point of view, because he did Something New. Now | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
it's two years in prison. I think it's too long. The incident took | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
place on 7th October at Tate Modern when Umeniec walked up to the | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
painting and wrote on it with black pen. It was an act of vandalism. | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
Because of his complex painting techniques it caused damage which | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
will take a great deal of effort, money and time to repair. The ink | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
from the pen soak through the canvass, affecting layer after | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
layer of Rothko's specially-mixed paint. It is extremely complicated, | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
involved and takes a lot of thought and experimentations and mock-ups | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
before you can come to touching the painting. It is quite normal for | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
that to take a long time. A lot of that will be the planning process | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
rather than the treatment. As to which will be the first to be seen | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
in public again - it is likely to be a closely-run thing. Either way, | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
it would appear Rothko's artwork did have the desired effect after | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
all, as Umeniec has plenty of time for quiet come templaigs. A | :20:09. | :20:16. | |
National Audit Office said the Audit Office is making good | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
progress in implementing savings. The NHS was asked to find | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
efficiencies of up to �20 million. What is really clear is what has | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
helped the NHS keep costs down has been the public sector pay freeze. | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
That has been a big factor. There have been impacts for patients as | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
well. The NHS is not doing some minor procedures. In some areas it | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
is asking patients who need hip or knee operations to wait until they | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
become a little worse before they have that operation. Hospitals are | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
being paid less when they do those operations. A real-terms cut of | :20:55. | :21:02. | |
around 4%. They have been squeezed. Despite those financial pressures, | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
waiting performance is good for routine treatments and hospital | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
infections have been falling. about the tough decisions which lie | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
ahead? The easy decisions have been made first and the tough decisions | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
about what happens to hospitals if you look after more elderly people | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
at home or in their local surgeries, might that mean closing some | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
hospital wards or even as this report says some whole hospitals. | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
The NHS has not begun to grasp that yet. Thank you. | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
A deal has been struck in Brussels to place around 200 of Europe's | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
biggest banks under the drebg su ver vision of the European Central | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
Bank. It will not include British banks. Our correspondent is in | :21:44. | :21:51. | |
Brussels. How significant is this? Well, I think this is a big deal. | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
It's only a first step. 200 of Europe's biggest banks will be | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
supervised by the European Central Bank. Some of those smaller banks, | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
if they get into difficulty, well, then the ECB will intervene to try | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
and help them out. Make no mistake, a big chunk of national authority | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
or sovereignty is going to be passed to a European institution. | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
Why does all this matter? Because banks have been so much at the core | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
of what has gone wrong in the eurozone. So often banking problems | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
have ended up on the Government's books and that has forced up the | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
Government's debts. Now there's an attempt to try and try and control | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
that and bring it down. Where does this leave Britain? Britain will | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
not be part of the banking union. It supports it. Why? Because it | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
believes it will bring greater stability to the eurozone. | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
Thank you. Cricket and England's batsmen have | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
struggled on the first day of the fourth Test. They lost early | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
wickets before Kevin Pietersen helped his side recover. England | :22:59. | :23:06. | |
only need a draw in this Test to win the series. | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
In Nagpur every street can bring a surprise. If you are preparing for | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
a close shave, who can you trust? India looked to their bowlers. | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
England, for once, won the toss. They batted first. Compton gone for | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
three. Then the real shock - Cook was out for just one. LBW that was | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
debatable. When Kevin Pietersen is at his best | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
he can dominate responsibly. It is all in the timing. Pietersen passed | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
50 after lunch. India employed four spin bowlers. Trott made his way to | :23:42. | :23:50. | |
44. A momentarily lapse can end everything in embarrassment. Trott | :23:50. | :23:57. | |
dismissed. Bell endured a miserable series on one he presented a gift. | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
Scoring had almost stopped. Pietersen just pass 70, he through | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
off the shackles. A low catch, low moment, England, 195-5. The | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
recovery was led by Matt Prior. England reached 199 at close. | :24:14. | :24:21. | |
Recognise the other batsman? 31, not out, on his debut. Steady | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
strides towards the big prize. If England do beat this team here or | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
draw, then England will take the series. They have been waiting to | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
do this here for nearly 30 years. No need to rush now! | :24:36. | :24:43. | |
Now, they say manners make the man. That is what pupils at Fowey | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
comprehensive in Cornwall think. When the girls complained the boys | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
were dirty, messy and rude, the head teacher came up with the | :24:50. | :24:57. | |
answer - lessons in etiquette. Out of the classroom, and off to | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
charm school. These boys have been sent for some extra tuition by the | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
girls in their class. They don't use the correct language sometimes. | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
It is rude. When they don't shave and then wear white socks and stuff. | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
They are never quite clean, are they? So, for the next six months | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
the lads will spend Thursday afternoons at the hotel next to | :25:21. | :25:28. | |
their school, learning how to be gentlemen. You have got it on your | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
shirt. Look! And on my tie. He's getting up to the top... Lesson | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
number one is personal grooming. Mark is learning how to use an iron. | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
Have you ever done this before? Never ironed before? Never ironed | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
before. How old are you? 16. Shirt pressed, Mark's next lesson | :25:52. | :26:01. | |
is learning how to greet a lady. You might expect this at a Swiss | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
finishing school, but not at a Cornish comprehensive. | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
The wine might only be fruit juice, but they are taking it very | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
seriously. I'm doing this to obviously become more charming for | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
women and something like that. all about getting girls, is it? | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
The teachers say it is also about getting jobs. Once their GCSEs are | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
over. If you cannot get on in all the | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
social environments, then you will find your future limited. We don't | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
want to limit the future of our students. In June, there will be an | :26:41. | :26:50. | |
end of year ball and the girls might be in for a surprise. | :26:50. | :26:56. | |
Let's look at the weather now. Everyone keeps saying to me, had | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
enough of the cold weather now. Hopefully a change for the better | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
on the way in the next 48 hours or so. It will turn milder. Milder | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
from the south of the UK, actually from the south of the UK, actually | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
as we speak. This evening, pretty chilly. As we go into the night, | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
temperatures will start to come up - going in the opposite direction | :27:19. | :27:26. | |
to the last few nights. The wind will be up. We will have | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
patches of fog to England and Wales for a time. Chilly across Scotland | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
and northern England w a frost here. Milder to the south, as the rain | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
starts to push in first thing on Friday. Actually the rain could be | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
heavy for a while along the south coast. With high tides there may be | :27:43. | :27:48. | |
some flooding here and indeed in land, where we have heavier rain | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
for a while. By the afternoon we have a scattering of showers over | :27:53. | :27:59. | |
south-west of England. A wet afternoon for the south-east and | :27:59. | :28:04. | |
East Anglia. The south-east of Northern Ireland, again we could | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
see some flooding here, thanks to high tides and heavy rain. For | :28:09. | :28:13. | |
Scotland, ice first thing a possibility. Blizzards across the | :28:13. | :28:20. | |
Grampians over the afternoon where we have strong winds and snowfall. | :28:20. | :28:25. | |
Later on strong winds in Scotland could be damaging. Things improve | :28:25. | :28:30. | |
on Saturday. The wind is south- westerly. Milder than we've had in | :28:30. | :28:36. | |
a while. Sunday looks similar as well. So, | :28:36. | :28:41. |
