newspaper seller during the G20 protests, Ian Tomlinson's family | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
gets a formal apology from the Metropolitan Police. Mr Tomlinson | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
was the victim of unlawful and excessive force - his family accept | :00:18. | :00:28. | |
:00:28. | :00:29. | ||
compensation. We are happy for the Met accepting liability. We need to | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
take that on board and move on as a family. We'll be asking why it's | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
taken so long for the police to act. Also tonight: Household names | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
accused of exploiting workers - more than a million people are on zero | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
hours contracts, with no guarantee of work. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
It looks like a burger and cooks like a burger, but it's been grown | :00:46. | :00:52. | |

And a rainy day draw at Old Trafford is enough for England to retain the | :00:56. | :01:06. | |
Ashes. Coming up in the sport here on BBC News, Walter Smith resigns | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
from his role as the chairman of Rangers. He is said to be upset at | :01:11. | :01:21. | |

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at six. The Metropolitan Police | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
has issued a formal apology to the family of Ian Tomlinson, the | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
newspaper seller who died after being pushed to the ground by an | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
officer during the G20 protests in London in four years ago. In a | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
statement, the force acknowledged that the use of "excessive and | :01:46. | :01:56. | |
:01:56. | :02:13. | ||
unlawful force" caused Mr Tomlinson's death. Our Home Affairs | :02:13. | :02:23. | |
:02:23. | :02:57. | ||
Correspondent June Kelly joins us from the City of London. As part of | :02:57. | :03:07. | |
:03:07. | :03:08. | ||
its agreement with the Tomlinson family, Scotland Yard has agreed it | :03:08. | :03:18. | |
:03:18. | :03:24. | ||
is paying them compensation, but the family said it was never about the | :03:24. | :03:32. | |
money. They just wanted to get some sort of justice. It became the most | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
notorious image of the G20 protests in London. Ian Tomlinson was walking | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
away from the police line when Constable Cyberman Harwood pushed | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
him from behind. It has been described as a gratuitous act of | :03:39. | :03:49. | |
:03:49. | :04:06. | ||
aggression. Ian Tomlinson's family have faced a long battle to get this | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
apology from the net. All I can say is we are not going to get any | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
better than that. We are happy for the Metropolitan Police at accepting | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
that liability. We need to move on as a family and prepare for the | :04:20. | :04:30. | |
future. On that April evening, Ian Tomlinson was trying to get home | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
through the blocked streets. He posed no threat to the police but PC | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
Harwood attacked him. In previous policing areas he might have got | :04:42. | :04:50. | |
away with it but he was filmed by an American visitor. If it had not been | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
for this footage, Ian Tomlinson's death might have been put down to | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
heart attack and the officer who pushed him might still have been on | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
the streets. There are questions over whether Simon Harwood should | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
have been a police officer in 2009. He was facing disciplinary hearing | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
and left the Metropolitan Police Force but he got back in. This was | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
something that the Metropolitan Police Force apologised for today. | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
In the past hour, the veteran entertainer Rolf Harris has been | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
rearrested for sexual offences. David Sillitoe is with me. What more | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
can you tell us? Rolf Harris first spoke to police in | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
November of last year. He was arrested following allegations of | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
sexual offences. This was part of Operation Yewtree, the investigation | :05:43. | :05:52. | |
which arose as part of the Jimmy Savile allegations. This was part of | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
people who were unconnected with Jimmy Savile. He was rearrested | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
following further allegations of sexual offences. He has not been | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
charged and he denies strenuously any wrongdoing. He is one of eight | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
people on police bail. 13 have been arrested, two charged and three | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
others released without charge facing no further action. | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
Thank you. The Business Secretary Vince Cable has told the BBC that he | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
is prepared to take action to stop employees abusing so-called zero | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
hours contract. Employees say they do not know how many hours they will | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
work and how many hours they will work from week to week. James | :06:38. | :06:48. | |
:06:48. | :06:50. | ||
It is a life where you don't know how many hours you will work each | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
week or how much pay you will take home. For some it is convenient, for | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
others it is terrifying and uncertain, such as this man in his | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
20s who works for McDonald's and says it makes life difficult. | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
terrifying because you don't know what you will get from week to week. | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
A few weeks ago I had no shifts. They are called zero hours contracts | :07:15. | :07:25. | |
:07:25. | :07:31. | ||
and he says juggling such a job with childcare is almost impossible. | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
makes it very difficult to have a life, to do anything. I don't know | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
if I can have my son, if I can pay my bills. A spokesman for McDonald's | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
said many of its employees choose to work there because of the | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
flexibility it provides, such as students or parents who want to fit | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
childcare around work. It is clear McDonald's is not alone. A new | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
survey suggests as many as 1 million people are now employed with zero | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
hours contracts, four times as much as official estimates, but the | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
survey also find only 14% of these workers are unhappy, saying their | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
employer only offered enough work to give them a basic standard of | :08:04. | :08:12. | |
living. Some employers say the flexibility suits them. For me it is | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
great because I can work around my partner's ours. We don't have the | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
luxury of having regular childcare. The issue will be discussed by MPs | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
next week. We are worried by the number of people on zero hours | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
contracts. This is not a healthy development and it is perhaps a sign | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
that the economy has pushed businesses to construct themselves | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
in such a way where they push workers and the labour market | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
further and further and try to squeeze more value out of them. | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
of Westminster say these contracts help to explain why unemployment | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
remains so low and why the government is being so cautious, | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
carrying out a low-key review, but the Business Secretary told me that | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
where he finds serious exploitation he will act to change the law. | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
one end of the market there is some exploitation taking place. I think | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
we are concerned about exclusive contracts where it is said employers | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
prevent people from doing other work when they are on zero hours | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
contracts, but for many people it is a perfectly good arrangement. | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
some it is flexible working, for others it is exploitation, but it is | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
clear that zero hours contracts are here to stay and Westminster need to | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
work out how and if they need to change. There has been an angry | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
reaction from organisations representing stay at home mothers as | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
the government launches a consultation into a childcare | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
vouchers scheme. Under the plans, families where both | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
parents work and earn less than �150,000 each could claim up to | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
�1,200 a year for each child. But the scheme will not cover parents | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
who look after their children at home. Emma Simpson joins us now from | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
a West London nursery. government said it was hoping for | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
feedback on this consultation, the Chancellor certainly got plenty of | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
that today. In an interview he said he had huge respect for mothers who | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
stayed at home but added it was for lifestyle reasons, and that has | :10:26. | :10:34. | |
angered quite a few of them. The politics of childcare can be | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
complicated. Good quality childcare doesn't come cheap. Here at this | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
nursery in Cheshire, parents pay around �800 per month per child for | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
full-time care and it can be difficult for families to make the | :10:48. | :10:57. | |
numbers add up. Childcare is the equivalent of having another | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
mortgage, particularly with two children under five. We miss out on | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
other things like holidays and stuff like that. The Chancellor was also | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
at a nursery today, promoting his vouchers scheme to help cover the | :11:13. | :11:21. | |
rising costs. This is tax free childcare, and we want to help all | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
families so later in this parliament we will be introducing tax breaks | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
for married couples but this tax-free childcare will be an | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
enormous help to families on struggling budgets. The proposed | :11:34. | :11:41. | |
scheme will not start until 2015 after the election, and only cover | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
under fives to begin with. The government claims it will help 2.5 | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
million working families. Today it is said full-time carers, as well as | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
those on maternity and paternity leave, would also qualify, but not | :11:57. | :12:05. | |
stay at home mothers like Gillian Smith. She says she doesn't like | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
being branded as having made a lifestyle choice by the Chancellor. | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
For many of my friends who have returned to work, I think that is a | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
slap in the face for them because it is hard for them to leave and to go | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
to five days a week, and effectively only see their child on evenings and | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
weekends. To say it is a choice, it is a far more complicated issue than | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
that. The government says the scheme is all about helping parents afford | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
to work and it is putting three quarters of �1 billion of new money | :12:36. | :12:43. | |
to help fund it, but labour says it still doesn't make up for the cuts | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
to family support. Only David Cameron's government could make an | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
announcement like this for help in 2015 and beyond and expect families | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
to be grateful for help, when they have taken so much support for | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
families away. They have cut support for childcare and people are | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
struggling. This scheme was announced months ago in the budget | :13:05. | :13:12. | |
but the debate is far from over. Paul Gascoigne has been fined �1000 | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
for assaulting a railway guard and being drunk and disorderly. The | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
former Newcastle and Spurs star, who has battled alcoholism for many | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
years, admitted attacking a guard at Stevenage railway station last | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
month. Assault charges relating to his ex-wife Sheryl Gascoigne were | :13:25. | :13:35. | |
withdrawn. It's a burger but not as we know it. | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
It was made in a laboratory and cost more than �200,000. An artificial | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
burger grown using stem cells from a dead cow. The first one was served | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
up to food critics today, and the Dutch scientists responsible hope | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
this new way of making meat could one day help feed the world. Pallab | :13:48. | :13:57. | |
:13:58. | :13:58. | ||
Ghosh explains. Grown in a laboratory and cooked in a pan, the | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
world's first synthetic hamburger, but what does it taste like? There | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
is an intense taste, it is close to meet, not that juicy, but the | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
consistency is perfect. The taster is a food writer chosen by the | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
organisers of the event. The burger started off in this dish, a few | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
cells taken from a dead cow. They were then grown into these pale | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
white circles of muscle. Food technologists then added | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
breadcrumbs, caramel and saffron to make it taste better, and beetroot | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
juice to make it look the right colour. A simple solution would be | :14:38. | :14:48. | |
for people to meet less meat, no? agree and I would favour that but | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
the hard fact globally is that meat consumption is going to increase. | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
the UK, on average each person eat 80 kilograms of meat a year, likely | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
to remain the same over the coming years, but there will be rising | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
demand internationally by a growing population and more people wanting | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
to eat meat in emerging nations like China. Currently 258 million tonnes | :15:12. | :15:22. | |
:15:22. | :15:25. | ||
of meat is produced across the world every year to satisfy demand. In | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
2050, it is estimated it will need to be 455 million tonnes. | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
solutions lie with changing the systems of supply and access and | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
affordability so that not just more food but better food gets to the | :15:36. | :15:43. | |
people who need it. Even those behind the project had met their | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
meat will never taste as good as the real thing, but they argue that as | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
prices rise and environmental concerns in Greece, their way is the | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
only ethical and pragmatic way forward. The researchers say it will | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
be at least ten years before they perfect their burger, and the first | :16:03. | :16:13. | |
:16:13. | :16:13. | ||
laboratory grown meat is on sale. Our top story this evening. Four | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
years after the G20 protests in London, an apology for the family of | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
the newspaper seller who died after being pushed over by a police | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
officer. Still to come: Life under the Blackpool Tower - what is | :16:28. | :16:33. | |

Wayne Rooney pulls out of the Manchester United trip to Sweden for | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
a friendly. The club has rejected a transfer bid | :16:42. | :16:51. | |
from Chelsea. With countries around the world | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
demanding more and more energy, the race is on to find new sources of | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
oil and gas. One company is claiming a technological breakthrough in its | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
attempts to recover gas supplies of the Norwegian coast. It has built | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
the world's largest underwater machine which has been lowered onto | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
the sea bed and is expected to pump �20 billion worth of gas which would | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
otherwise have been left untapped. From Norway Roger Harrabin reports. | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
Wharf in the buildings on a Norwegian fjords, a structure the | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
size of a football pitch. The frame for what is said to be the world's | :17:31. | :17:38. | |
biggest underwater machine. This monster will be towed 125 miles out | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
to sea and sent plunging to the bottom. | :17:40. | :17:49. | |
It is being built to turn an exhausted reserve into a rich leap | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
was up to have reserved by pumping it harder than it has ever been | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
pumped before. The woman in charge said it could make tens of billions | :17:57. | :18:05. | |
of dollars. The gas would have been left in the reservoirs if we had not | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
valid this project. Normally, a platform above the sea would be used | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
to pump gas from an offshore gas field. Putting the compressor close | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
to the source of the gas means they can get much more gas and at a lower | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
cost. Statoil hopes to put more facilities under the waves. But | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
there is a downside to this marvel of technology. It is part of an | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
industry which governments agree is steadily changing the climate. | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
Clearly, it makes sense for the firm for them to squeeze as much gas as | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
they can out of the field but companies have bigger ambitions to | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
find more coal, oil and gas all around the world, even though | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
mainstream scientists are warning we cannot burn all the fossil fuels we | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
have already found if we want to protect the climate. We have | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
discovered coal, oil and gas which will emit nearly 3000 billion tonnes | :19:02. | :19:10. | |
of the greenhouse gas CO2 will start less than a third of this can be | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
burned if we want to stick to agreed danger limits for the climate. | :19:15. | :19:22. | |
still a huge problem, they think the only one rational way forward is to | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
look for more, to the last barrel, so our challenge in society is to | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
not use the oil, gas and coal which has already been discovered. | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
there may be a get out thanks to experimental plants like this one | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
further north in Norway. It takes the exhaust gases from a power | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
station and using chemicals, it captures the CO2 so it does not | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
escape and warm the atmosphere. We need this technology to be | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
widespread, if we want to burn fossil fuels, while also tackling | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
climate change. But it is years behind schedule. We know that we | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
have technology available today to remove 90% of CO2, however, the | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
technology is too expensive and there is no economic drive in the | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
system. The firm says if governments want this technology they will have | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
to force it to happen. Meanwhile, the relentless hunt for fossil fuels | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
continues. It took the world's biggest offshore crane to manoeuvre | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
the Statoil structure into place. The firm will win billions if this | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
monster of the deep delivers its riches. The project is glamorous, | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
high-profile, exciting. Worrying about climate change will have to | :20:43. | :20:53. | |
:20:53. | :20:53. | ||
wait. The family of a man who died after | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
an argument over a disabled parking space at a supermarket say they are | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
devastated by his death. 64-year-old Brian Holmes from Sandy in | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
Bedfordshire died at Addenbrooke's Hospital yesterday. A man arrested | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
over the death has been bailed. Our correspondent Sian Lloyd joins us | :21:10. | :21:18. | |
now from Biggleswade. What do we know about this incident? | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
During this row, which does appear to have been about a disabled | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
parking space at the ASDA store behind me, Brian Holmes, a | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
grandfather who had recently been given the all clear from cancer, was | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
allegedly knocked to the ground. He was airlifted to Addenbrooke's | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
Hospital in Cambridge but died yesterday. Police have issued an | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
appeal to the people they would like to hear from. If anyone was in the | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
ASDA car park at Biggleswade around 3pm on Saturday 3rd of August, it | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
was a busy car park with lots of shoppers, and we would ask them to | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
contact editor Chip police on 101. His wife has said in a statement | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
that she has lost her husband, best friend and carer all in one go. The | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
family are devastated and shocked. A 65-year-old man has been arrested on | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
suspicion of manslaughter. He has been released on police bail pending | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
further enquiries. Thank you. Some of our seaside towns are becoming | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
dumping grounds for vulnerable people, that is according to the | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
Centre for social Justice. The thing bank said some councils take | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
advantage of cheaper accommodation and it is warning that some coastal | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
towns have deprivation levels on a par with major cities. | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
Michael Buchanan has been to Blackpool to find out more. It is | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
known as the Golden Mile but it has been a long time since Blackpool | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
glistened. Tourists still come but not as many and they are not | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
spending as much. When once workers and families visited, the poor and | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
vulnerable now head. Blackpool's challenges are most | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
apparent at night. Among the young clubbers I meet Jody who moved to | :23:05. | :23:12. | |
Blackpool a few months ago. I sleep in toilets. The council do not help | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
us. This is how we sit and beg to try and make our money. A mile away | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
and as the clock strikes midnight, a small group gathered to draw their | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
benefits. A deployment here is 70% higher than the national average. | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
What will you do with it? First thing first, go shopping at ASDA but | :23:33. | :23:40. | |
usually I spend it all on weed. be honest, I do not want a job. I am | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
one of the lazy people. I am not interested in getting a job. All of | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
them chose to live in Blackpool. When you have had a great holiday in | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
Blackpool and then your luck changes, you might think, why not go | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
back there because that is where I was happiest. It may not turn out | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
like that but those holiday memories are key reason why people come back | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
to seaside towns. What a wonderful site for land ladies, they will be | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
doing a roaring trade... In the days when guesthouses were packed, | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
accommodation was at a premium in Blackpool. Today, many of the same | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
buildings are now cheap, poor quality bedsits and there are too | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
many of them. You could not go to Bath, Tunbridge Wells for Oxford and | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
access a one or two bedroomed flat with �100 in your pocket and a bin | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
bag full of clothes but you can here. Britain's love affair with | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
seaside resorts may largely be over. Revising the towns left behind is | :24:41. | :24:48. | |
proving an uphill struggle. The chairman of Glasgow Rangers has | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
resigned. Walter Smith, former manager of the club, was in the job | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
for just over two months. His resignation follows a period of | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
bitter infighting at Ibrox. Rangers were demoted from the Premier League | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
last year after going into liquidation. | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
Rain stopped play and saved the day for England's cricketers. That means | :25:10. | :25:17. | |
they retained the Ashes. Australia had been in a commanding position | :25:17. | :25:25. | |
but the showers intervened. Joe Wilson is at Old Trafford. This is a | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
remarkable achievement by England, to retain the Ashes with two trade | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
matches to spare. But Australia word the better team. | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
It almost feels like an escape to victory. | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
Protection was clear at Old Trafford. Raid at 10am, protect the | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
ground, protect yourself, protect the Ashes. From the trams, a trickle | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
of enthusiasts. They knew it suited England for nothing to happen. What | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
are you hoping for today? A bit of play. One ball and we will go home | :26:03. | :26:10. | |
happy! They would get a bit more than that. At 11:30am and a clear | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
skies, the match was on. It only takes a second to take a wicket. | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
Cook, LBW. Trott departed with a flick to the wicket keeper. | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
Suddenly, England seemed gripped by uncertainty. Tension everywhere. | :26:26. | :26:34. | |
Kevin Pietersen given out. Did he hit it? No sign of the ball hitting | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
back on the HotSpot camera. The umpire confirmed the dismissal. | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
Kevin Pietersen fumed to the dressing room. After two o'clock, | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
the rain fell like champagne. All Australia's captain could do was | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
watch and she was the chance for victory was washed away. The England | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
players will not care how they finish the game. They are desperate | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
to retain the Ashes. They have done. In this match, Australia have been | :27:01. | :27:09. | |
excellent. Howwood Australian fans described the outcome? Robbed. | :27:09. | :27:17. | |
England celebrations were brief and restrained. It is not a day but an | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
era of success. That brings us to the weather. The | :27:22. | :27:32. | |
:27:32. | :27:34. | ||
the end. It has been doing its job across the country today. There has | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
been heavy to torrential rain across parts of Wales, western England, the | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
far north of England and the Scottish Borders and in the past few | :27:42. | :27:48. | |
hours moving through the south of England. There has been around three | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
inches in the wettest part of Wales. A substantial amount of rain has | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
fallen in a short space of time which is why we have had flooding | :27:57. | :28:07. | |
:28:07. | :28:07. | ||
issues and surface water. Still some rumbles of thunder. It is moving | :28:07. | :28:12. | |
through and eventually it clears away. It will turn out to be cooler | :28:12. | :28:19. | |
than this away from town and city centres. Cooler, fresh start to the | :28:19. | :28:24. | |
day. There will be plenty of sunshine from the word go to | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
compensate. Although some clout will build as we go deeper through the | :28:27. | :28:33. | |
day, unlike today, it will stay mainly dry. Let's take a look at | :28:34. | :28:38. | |
four o'clock in the afternoon. For England and Wales in the afternoon, | :28:38. | :28:43. | |
it is looking so different. Yes, there will be an isolated shower. | :28:43. | :28:48. | |
Still some bright sunny spells coming through. For the warmest | :28:48. | :28:52. | |
parts of south-east England and East Anglia, up to 24 degrees. These | :28:52. | :29:02. | |
:29:02. | :29:02. | ||
temperatures are normal for the time of year. Pretty similar for | :29:02. | :29:06. |
