Terror in Nairobi - the siege at a Kenyan shopping mall continues - | :00:05. | :00:09. | |
sixty two people are now dead including four Britons. Kenyan | :00:09. | :00:19. | |
troops try to storm the building to stop the Islamic militants who are | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
threatening to kill their remaining hostages. Images of the innocent | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
caught up in the attack, families out shopping and children taking | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
part in a cookery competition. A mother speaks to us of the chaos. | :00:29. | :00:38. | |
The adults were animals. They were climbing on top of the kids to jump | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
over the walls. I was trying to save all the little children. They kept | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
stepping on the children. With the siege lasting over three days now, | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
we'll bring you the latest from the scene. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Also tonight: Rolf Harris appears in court charged with indecent assault | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
of underage girls and making indecent images of children. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
The Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls says Labour would increase free childcare | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
in England if it came to power, and signals a possible rethink on HS2. | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
And how the latest report on climate change is expected to confirm that | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
man is the main cause of global warming. Coming up in sport on BBC | :01:09. | :01:19. | |
News, reaction from Sunderland as head coach Paolo Di Canio is sacked | :01:19. | :01:23. | |

Good evening, and welcome to BBC News. Heavy gunfire is still being | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
heard in the Kenyan capital this evening, and flames are pouring out | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
of the shopping centre where Islamist militants have been holding | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
shoppers since Saturday. The security forces are trying to clear | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
the gunmen from the Westgate mall in Nairobi. Authorities say 62 people | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
have been killed, including four Britons. The militant Somali group | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
Al-Shabab have claimed responsibility. Let's go live to | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Nairobi and join our correspondence. What is the latest | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
there? It is calm here now, but make no mistake, this is still a siege | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
situation. The soldiers behind me are taking a break, having a bite to | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
eat, but today was the day that Kenyan security forces finally made | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
their big assault. I have been here most of the day, watching these | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
extraordinary events unfold. Day three. The siege is starting to feel | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
like a waiting game. Soldiers and policemen passing the time of day. | :02:54. | :03:08. | |
Then suddenly... Just afternoon, a shot rings out. Then a series of | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
explosions coming from inside the complex. There is a series of shots | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
ringing out now, just outside the shopping centre. We can see black | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
smoke coming from the top of the building. We don't know what's going | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
on inside, but certainly, this is the most action we have heard in | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
quite a number of hours. The building where the gunmen are holed | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
up is now on fire. Reinforcements have been brought in, including | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
armoured personnel carriers. Government forces are engaged in a | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
major assault to try and dislodge the militants. But the attackers are | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
not giving up without a fight. A commander from Al-Shabab, the group | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
that says it carried out the attack, told the BBC this morning that their | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
Al Qaeda-linked forces are well organised and there would be no | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
surrender. I am intact with them in the mall. -- in touch with them. | :04:00. | :04:14. | |
Meanwhile, those who managed to escape are coming to terms with | :04:14. | :04:23. | |
their experiences. This woman was hosting a children's cookery | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
competition on Saturday when the gunmen struck. Her own daughter and | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
son, aged 12 and eight, were injured in the attack. I had about 30 to 33 | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
kids with me. The shooting was going on. We were in the corner. Everybody | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
bent down, because the adults were animals. They were climbing on top | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
of the kids to jump over the walls. I was trying to save all the little | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
children, and they kept trying to step on the children. Someone | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
carried my daughter out. She was hurt pretty badly in the lake and | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
she couldn't walk. Someone picked her up and took her out. I just | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
stayed there to look after her. And then... We pushed the kids away. We | :05:08. | :05:20. | |
ran towards each other. We heard some more firing so we thought they | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
were about to fire at us, but it was the guys who had come in and were | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
protecting us, so they were firing to keep them away. Government forces | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
said they killed at least two macro militants during today's assault, | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
but say the crisis is still not over. There is going to be running | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
and hiding, but I confirm that we have fully cordoned the building. | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
There is no room for escapes. The says its overriding concern is to | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
get the remaining hostages out alive. People are now preparing to | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
spend a third terrifying night inside. | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
The authorities here say they have since killed another militant, | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
bringing the tally to three. They have also arrested ten people in | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
connection with this incident, though it is not exactly clear where | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
they arrested them or what role they are suspected of having played in | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
this hostage scenario. Meanwhile, that hostage scenario does | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
continue, and this is still an ongoing situation. | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
Thank you. There were thousands of shoppers in the Westgate shopping | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
mall when the gunmen struck on shoppers in the Westgate shopping | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
Saturday afternoon. People of many nationalities, including at least | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
four Britons were killed or injured. Our reporter was one of the first | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
journalists to arrive at the scene on Saturday. She looks at some of | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
those who have lost their lives. A terrifying experience for those | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
who escaped and those still trapped. Over the weekend, as the death toll | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
who escaped and those still trapped. rose, it has become clear that the | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
victims of this attack were from all corners of the globe. This is a | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
place where foreigners and Kenyans come to blacks and to shop. These | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
thick, insulated roof protects from the sun. | :07:27. | :07:37. | |
Among the dead was a prize-winning architect with joint British and | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
Australian citizenship. His company today described him as: | :07:41. | :07:58. | |
Rose pop back -- Rose's fiance, pregnant with his first child, was | :07:58. | :08:09. | |
killed alongside him. She works with the built-in -- the Bill Clinton | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
health initiative. Others confirmed to have died include a poet. | :08:15. | :08:25. | |
Regarded as literally -- as literary royalty in his home nation. The | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
Canadian government has confirmed that one of its diplomats was also | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
among the dead. Her husband was injured. With the number of | :08:33. | :08:42. | |
casualties expected to rise, Kenyans continue to queue in their numbers | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
casualties expected to rise, Kenyans donating blood. Tragic as it is, | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
this incident has brought Kenyans together. We are multiethnic... | :08:47. | :08:59. | |
Kenya's president announced at the weekend that his nephew was among | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
Kenya's president announced at the the dead. He perished with his | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
fiancee. This is an atrocity that has united in grief the whole of | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
Kenya, as well as hundreds of families who have been affected | :09:10. | :09:18. | |
around the world. The militant Islamist group, | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
Al-Shabab, based in Somalia, says it is responsible for the attack. The | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
brutality of the events at the mall in Nairobi has caused shock waves | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
around the world. What can you tell us about this group? They are from | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
the most dangerous militant group in East Africa, Al-Shabab. Literally, | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
it means "the Lads" in Arabic. What do we know about this organisation? | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
They are based in southern Somalia. Only about 8000 strong at most, but | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
they have been able to cross over into Kenya and also to attack | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
Uganda. Their members are mostly Somali jihadis, but they have | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
attracted a number of foreign jihadists. They have been using | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
online social media to publicise their attacks. One Tweet reads: | :10:07. | :10:17. | |
Noticed the way in which it is written - English is clearly the | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
first language. Another Tweet says: All of this presents Kenya with a | :10:23. | :10:39. | |
major security problem. This is this country's biggest security headache. | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
When this siege is over, difficult questions will be asked. The | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
authorities will have to make difficult decisions about the | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
security system. Across the board in Somalia, they will also have to | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
consider the fate of the Kenyan troops in that country. Given the | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
international aspect of this, are any Britons involved? Among the | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
ranks of Al-Shabab's volunteers, up to 50 are believed to have come from | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
Britain. The government here fears that some may eventually return to | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
this country. Separately, a Briton, that some may eventually return to | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
Jermaine Grant, faces trial in Kenya for possession of explosives. | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
Another, Samantha Lewthwaite has been on the run there from the | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
authorities. What do Al-Shabab want? They want a strict Islamic state in | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
Somalia. They want foreign forces out. Three years ago, they carried | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
out a double suicide bombing in Kampala to punish Uganda for sending | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
UN backed troops into Somalia. Al-Shabab has always had this | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
tension between those in the movement who want to see Jihad | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
fought inside Somalia, and it is really all about what happens to | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
Somalia. There are others who would like to create ties to Al-Qaeda and | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
other terrorist networks throughout the Middle East and Africa, and he | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
wanted to be more of an international Jihad. Despite these | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
divisions, with this attack in Nairobi, Al-Shabab has hit the most | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
powerful country in East Africa where it hurts. This may end up | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
uniting Kenyans, but it has also exposed just how vulnerable the | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
country is to hit and run attacks from a ruthless enemy. | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
Let's take a look at today's other news. Rolf Harris has appeared in | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
court to face charges of indecent assault of underage girls in the | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
80s, and of making indecent images of a child last year. He was | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
arrested as part of the Metropolitan Police's Operation Yewtree, which is | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
investigating historic allegations of child abuse. | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
Rolf Harris has been entertaining British audiences since the 50s. He | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
is now 83, and facing a criminal trial. He entered his court -- he | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
entered court with his wife and daughter, surrounded by journalists | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
and photographers, some from Australia. He walked slowly into the | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
dock, and one hand -- at one point, put out a hand to steady himself. | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
The court heard that the case was of a serious nature, and would be | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
transferred to the Crown Court. He is charged with assault against two | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
girls, one aged 15 in 1980, and one is charged with assault against two | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
in 1986. He is also charged with making indecent images of a child | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
last year. His lawyers say he will plead not guilty. His arrest | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
interrupted a career that has continued to flourish, on TV, as an | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
artist who once painted the Queen, and as an entertainer. At a music | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
festival in May, he thanked the audience for his support. These | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
charges bring him public attention of a different nature. He has been | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
granted bail, and the legal process continues with an appearance at | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
Southwark Crown Court on the 7th of October. | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
Labour says it will give working parents of all three and | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
four-year-olds in England's 24 hours a week of free childcare if the | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
party wins the next election. The announcement by the Shadow | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
Chancellor will increase the levy on the banks. The Shadow Chancellor | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
also spoke of weakening support for HS2, saying it would review the | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
plans for the controversial railway line if they come to power. Today, | :14:35. | :14:56. | |
Ed Balls promised Labour would spend line if they come to power. Today, | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
£800 million more money, extending free childcare to working patient -- | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
parents with toddlers. They have both something to prove, that they | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
can make a difference without simply taxing and borrowing a whole lot | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
can make a difference without simply more. The Shadow Chancellor told his | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
conference that delivering Labour's goals would be harder than ever. We | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
won't be able to reverse all the spending cuts and tax rises the | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
Tories have pushed through. We will have to govern with less money | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
around, the next Labour government will have to make cuts, too. | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
However, he said taxing the banks, hedge funds and people who live in | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
mansions could pay for a very long list. Jobs for young people | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
guaranteed, expanding free childcare... The longer he went on, | :15:36. | :15:43. | |
the more he liked -- they liked it. Building the homes we need, that is | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
what a Labour government could do. Let's together go out there and make | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
it happen. They rose to their feet for that, but it wasn't long before | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
they were reporting a very different message. A call for an end to pay | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
restraint from the leader of Britain's biggest public sector | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
union. If this is the cost of living conference, then the pay freeze must | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
end. No ifs, no buts, a clear commitment to end a Tory pay freeze. | :16:08. | :16:15. | |
That call for existing party policy was voted for overwhelmingly. But | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
what has really got people talking here in the beautiful sunshine in | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
Brighton is the sense that Labour might be about to break the | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
consensus between the Reds and the blues, about building a high-speed | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
rail line to link the south to the north. The project some fear is | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
becoming an expensive white elephant. Ed Balls says Labour won't | :16:34. | :16:42. | |
write HS2 a blank cheque. The question is not just whether a new | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
high-speed line is a good idea or a bad idea, but whether it is the best | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
way to spend £50 billion for the future of our country. Plans for | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
another high-speed railway were launched under the last Labour | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
government. The party says it is not changed its mind, but just listen to | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
this. We would cancel it if we did not think it was good value for | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
money and the costs continued to rise. On a day Ed Balls is trying to | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
prove it can be trusted with public money, he's raised questions not | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
just about the cost of High Speed 2 but the alleged benefits as well. | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
You can't do a U-turn on a railway, but is that the sound of a train | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
You can't do a U-turn on a railway, being slammed into reverse? Our top | :17:27. | :17:38. | |
story... Kenyan troops tried to storm the shopping mall in Nairobi | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
to stop Islamic militants, who are threatening to kill their remaining | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
hostages. Police in Wales say they may have uncovered a modern day | :17:46. | :17:53. | |
slavery ring. In Sportsday, three new faces are named in England's | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
Ashes squad. All-rounder Ben Stokes joins batsmen Gary Ballance and fast | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
bowler Boyd Rankin on the tour to Australia in November. | :18:03. | :18:13. | |
The most recent international report on climate change, due later this | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
week, is expected to confirm that human activity is primarily | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
responsible for global warming. That is meant to warm oceans, melting | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
snow and ice and a rise in sea levels. In the last 100 years there | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
has been an increase in global average temperatures of 0.8 | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
Celsius, and further rises are projected. At what is baffling | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
scientists is that for the last 15 years, temperatures haven't gone | :18:38. | :18:45. | |
above the level recorded in 1998. The air we breathe is changing. It | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
now holds more of the warming gas, carbon dioxide, than at any time in | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
human history. And new records of temperature keep being set. Crops | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
burned last year in America's hottest month ever. In China this | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
summer, people were desperate to keep cool in heat that no one had | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
experienced. So how much is the planet warming? Well, in this graph | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
the red area shows computer simulations of the global average | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
temperature. The white line is what is actually being recorded. | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
Temperatures rising recently, until 15 years ago, for some reason, they | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
paused. Decade on decade global warming is | :19:26. | :19:36. | |
proceeding as expected. That said, within the last 15 years we've seen | :19:36. | :19:37. | |
little warming at the surface. That within the last 15 years we've seen | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
in itself is enough to tell us that the most extreme projections of | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
warming over the next 20 or 30 years looking less likely, and that's good | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
news. One explanation is that the sun is giving off less heat. Another | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
is that industrial pollution is reflecting the rays of the sun. A | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
third idea is that the oceans warming. Scientists have a network | :19:58. | :20:09. | |
of devices are measuring a rise in water temperature. The deep ocean | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
has without doubt warmed up since the 1980s. But the ocean is so fast | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
that even 100 degrees -- a hundredth of a degree temperature chains is | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
significant to the impact it will have on the atmosphere above it. So | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
significant to the impact it will there are several babies by the | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
warming of the planet has paused. The most plausible answer for many | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
scientists does lie in the oceans with all of the different currents. | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
But so far the evidence from the deeper still pretty sparse. So at | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
this stage no one can be really sure. One blogger read by thousands | :20:34. | :20:43. | |
every day has long raised questions about the pores. Andrew Montford | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
accepts mankind is affecting the climate and says there's so much the | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
scientists don't know. If they convert explain it then they should | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
say so. People will learn from that, that there's a lot about the | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
climate system that scientists don't understand. That is the truth and | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
that is what the public needs to know. A major report on climate | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
change is due on Friday. The scientists will try to explain why | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
temperatures have forced, while insisting that global warming in the | :21:12. | :21:19. | |
term remains a dangerous threat. The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
has spent the day trying to form a fresh coalition government, after | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
winning her third successive term in office. She led her centre-right | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
Christian Democrats to victory in the German election, but without | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
securing an outright majority. She is now talking to her rivals in the | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
Social Democratic Party will stop let's get more from Gavin Hewitt, | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
who joins us from Berlin. How is Mrs Merkel's third term likely to affect | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
Europe and Britain? First of all, Angela Merkel is still getting | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
rounds of applause from her supporters. But she will need to | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
build a governing coalition. Some soundings were taken today with the | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
other parties, but it clear those negotiations will be long and tough. | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
She did speak about Europe today and said, on Europe, we will not change | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
course. What does she mean by that? That the combination of austerity, | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
cutting spending, labour market reforms will have to continue in | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
exchange for support. David Cameron picked up a phone and spoke to her | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
and congratulated her. He is planning to renegotiate Britain's | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
relationship with the EU, in order to do that he will need support from | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
Angela Merkel. She recently spoke about perhaps being possible to | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
return some powers from Brussels to the member states. David Cameron | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
will be very anxious to explore what she meant by that. Police in South | :22:43. | :22:52. | |
Wales are searching for a body at a farm near Newport, as part of an | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
investigation into alleged slavery. Four people have been arrested after | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
a series of dawn raids by officers this morning. Our Wales | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
correspondent is at the farm in Marshfield. What can you tell us? | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
Over 100 officers who were involved in the raid at this site and two | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
others this morning, the culmination of a six-month investigation into | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
people trafficking and slavery. It is now an investigation that may yet | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
develop further. As they searched this site for human remains. On a | :23:21. | :23:29. | |
quiet country road, a farm the police say could be at the centre of | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
a modern slavery network. They believe workers have been forced to | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
live here in squalid conditions without pay. There may also have | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
been a death here. We do have information there may be a body | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
buried at that site, and it would be amiss mischievous at that time not | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
to investigate it fully. We will enquire into that, but at the moment | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
to investigate it fully. We will we have no more than just a | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
suggestion that there could be a Borrie -- that there could be a body | :23:56. | :24:03. | |
buried there. It follows the discovery of this man, Darryl | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
semester, found living here after he'd been missing for 13 years. | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
Today the officers took away another worker, originally from Eastern | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
Europe, so he could receive medical help. Four people, all from south | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
Wales, remain in custody. Police have brought in diggers and | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
floodlights to continue their search. Scottish government | :24:21. | :24:29. | |
ministers have said pensioners in Scotland would be better off than | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
those in the rest of the UK if Scotland were to vote for | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
independence. The Deputy First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, said if | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
there was a yes vote in 2016, new pensioners would be given £160 a | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
week, that would be £1.10 better off than pensioners elsewhere. It | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
started as a simple idea to raise money for Bristol Children's | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
Hospital. In an exhibition featuring Wallace's loyal sidekick, Gromit, | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
has surpassed expectations. It has had to be moved to bigger premises, | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
and opening times extended and the queues have grown so long that the | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
exhibit has had to be shut the Times queues have grown so long that the | :25:05. | :25:15. | |
on health and safety grounds. Let me give you some figures to prove this. | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
Since this exhibition open five days ago, 25,000 people have paid to come | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
through the doors to look at these Gromits. There are still enough to | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
note that the gates have shot, hundreds outside hoping to get in. | :25:30. | :25:39. | |
He went walkies for the summer. 80 giant Gromits dotted all over | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
Bristol. The challenge was to try to find them all. Now, before they are | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
auctioned off for charity, there's one final dog show. Gromits by | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
celebrity artists like Zayn Malik and Sir Quentin Blake. And people | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
have been queueing for up to eight and Sir Quentin Blake. And people | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
hours to get inside. It's just his cheeky smile, he's funny. Everyone | :26:03. | :26:12. | |
is smiling and laughing. You've come hundreds of miles for this. I know! | :26:12. | :26:22. | |
I hope it's worth it. It will be. Jo found almost all of them this | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
summer, but now wants to see the last one. Has it become a bit of an | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
obsession for you? Yes, it has. I've taken my little brothers and nephews | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
around. They absolutely love it. Who loves it more, then all you? Me! The | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
Wallace and Gromit films are made in Bristol, and their Oscar-winning | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
creator can't believe the public response. I have to pinch myself and | :26:46. | :26:52. | |
think, did I have something to do with this? This plasticine dog that | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
I made at college has come to this. 8000 people have already registered | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
to buy a Gromit in the auction. Jo is just glad to have found her last | :27:02. | :27:03. | |
one. Yeah! Today we had temperatures of 25 | :27:03. | :27:19. | |
degrees in Wales. You can see how the cloud broke through. A lovely | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
day across north-east Scotland and the cloud broke through. A lovely | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
North East England. And we've seen some belated sunshine develop in the | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
south. Where we have clear skies overnight, we will see the | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
temperatures falling just low enough to give us some mist and fog. It | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
will be another mild and muggy night. We still have this large area | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
of cloud in central areas moving north into north-east England and | :27:41. | :27:57. | |
Scotland, allowing clearer skies not just for Wales but also the Midlands | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
and southern England. It is here that we will have most of the mist | :28:00. | :28:03. | |
and fog. There could be some dense patches by the morning. It will be a | :28:03. | :28:04. | |
warm start at 13 or 14 patches by the morning. It will be a | :28:04. | :28:06. | |
Watch out for the fog south patches by the morning. It will be a | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
M4. The patches by the morning. It will be a | :28:10. | :28:11. | |
sunshine coming through in many areas. Some sunny spells probably a | :28:11. | :28:12. | |
sunshine coming through in many little sooner across southern | :28:13. | :28:13. | |
sunshine coming through in many England. 23 Celsius in the | :28:13. | :28:16. | |
south-east. It should be a warm day in the Midlands and for much of the | :28:16. | :28:18. | |
North West of England. Temperatures in the Midlands and for much of the | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
similar to today across Northern Ireland. A little sunshine here and | :28:21. | :28:26. | |
also for western Scotland. For eastern Scotland and North East | :28:26. | :28:30. | |
England, much more cloud, drizzle and temperatures lower. We will find | :28:30. | :28:36. | |
patchy rain developing in Scotland by the middle of the week. One or | :28:36. | :28:41. | |
two showers in the south-west but for many it should be dry and bright | :28:41. | :28:46. | |
with a little sunshine. A few more showers overnight through Thursday, | :28:46. | :28:53. | |
moving north up the eastern side of England. To the south we have the | :28:53. | :28:57. | |
warm and muggy air. | :28:57. | :28:59. |
