official watchdog. It warns that delays are not being recorded | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
properly and patients failed - critics say the figures are being | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
fudged. People's jobs depend on these data looking right. The tar | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
gets are clear and the pressure to get the numbers where they should be | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
is very strong. We'll be asking what this says about the pressures on the | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
NHS. Also tonight: Guilty - the woman who disguised herself in a | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Muslim veil before attacking her friend with acid - her victim, | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
21-year-old Naomi Oni, is scarred for life. Crime falls to its lowest | :00:42. | :00:53. | |
level in more than 30 years. The singer Justin Bieber is arrested | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
after racing his Lamborghini in Miami Beach - he's suspected of | :00:57. | :00:59. | |

News at Six. Waiting times are one of the key targets for the NHS in | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
England - now the National Audit Office says figures being published | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
by some hospitals are unreliable. The waiting times relate to | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
non-emergency operations like hip and knee replacements. The Patients' | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
Association warned that fudging the figures diverts attention from | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
providing high quality care. Our health correspondent, Branwen | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
Jeffreys, has more. Every year millions of people have routine | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
operations. They go on a waiting list and wait for the appointment, | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
expecting the NHS to live up to the promise of treating them quickly. | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
That hasn't happened for Sue. On the waiting list since last March, she | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
still is struggling with a sore hip. Then she got a date and her son | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
booked time off work to look after her and she went to wait her turn. I | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
was asked to lie down and stay in the bed, not to move and until I was | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
taken to theatre. Hours later, the operation was cancelled, the | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
hospital didn't have the right part. I find it distressing, because I'm | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
thinking it is going to be even more difficult getting back to normal | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
once I have had the operation the longer the waiting goes on. How do | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
we know how many patients fit the rules for waiting times in England? | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
The waiting time clocks starts when your GP decides to refer you for | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
treatment like an operation and for most people it should stop by 18 | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
weeks. It keeps ticking through any preoperation appointments and tests. | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
But sometimes it gets paused or reset and it is clear hospitals are | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
interpreting the rules in different ways to do that. It is only meant to | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
happen for good medical reasons. Or when you have been offered two dates | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
and turned them down. Today's report found patients don't know their | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
rights on waiting. A detailed analysis of hundreds of records | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
found less than half were accurate. More of the mistakes recorded | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
patients waiting less time than they had. Helping the hospitals meet | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
their targets. We have a set up that is going to produce this result, | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
because people's jobs depend on the data looking right. The targets are | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
clear and the pressure to get the numbers where they should be is very | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
strong. NHS managers say waiting times have come down and the | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
mistakes in records are not hiding a bigger problem. There no suggestion | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
at the scene mis-record rgs -- there is no suggestion that the mis-record | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
rgs deliberate. Hospitals are working to treat people quickly and | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
patients are getting better care than they used to. The Health | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
Secretary volunteers regularly in hospitals and has been speaking | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
about patients having a named doctor, but didn't want to talk | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
about waiting times. Labour says the report raises questions, but | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
ministers say fewer patients are facing very long waits. And our | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
correspondent joins me now. It was distressing for that patient in your | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
report, what does it say in the bigger picture? If you're an | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
individual patient,ivity is a stress -- it is a stressful time waiting | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
for that letter to arrive with your appointment. But this report says it | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
is annish queue for the system and is a measure of the quality the NHS | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
offers to patients and part of the promise is to see them quickly. We | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
know that pressures are building and the financial pressures are build | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
ing. And for the NHS to keep on treating people quickly, it needs to | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
have accurate information and know it can rely on the figures. Thank | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
you. A young woman's been convicted of throwing acid in the face of a | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
friend - leaving her scarred for life. Mary Konye disguised herself | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
in a Muslim veil before attacking 21-year-old Naomi Oni in east London | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
just over two years ago. From Snaresbrook Crown Court, Daniel | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
Boettcher reports. Naomi Oni before the attack that changed her life and | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
here after acid had been thrown at her, blistering her face, hand and | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
thigh. My face was black, my eyes were swollen. I was terrified. This | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
interview was recorded just over a month after the attack. That the | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
time she was unaware that the person who had done this to her was her | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
friend. That person failed, whatever their aim was, they failed and God | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
has gave me a life for a reason. She was attacked late at night on her | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
way home from work in London, travelling train and then bus, she | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
believed she was on her own. In fact, she was being followed. Naomi | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
Oni got off and felt a presence behind her. When she turned she saw | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
a figure in a black veil staring at her. She then felt the acid being | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
thrown into her face and ran home screaming. The figure she hadn't | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
recognised, the woman responsible for the injuries, was her friend, | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
21-year-old Mary Konye. The court heard she carried out the attack out | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
of jealousy and revenge, because Naomi Oni once called her an ugly | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
monster. This CCTV footage shows Mary Konye following her friend. | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
Phone records showed she was there and had talked to others and talked | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
about getting acid and throwing it at Naomi. All evidence that led to | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
the guilty verdict. The result today will give Naomi Oni some comfort, | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
but she is never going to be away from the fact that she is scarred. | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
Every time she looks in the mirror she will be reminded of the fact, | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
but it will enable her to start to get some closure. Naomi Oni left | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
court supported by her family. Mary Konye will be sentenced in March | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
with the judge warning she faces a substantial prison term. A day after | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
the latest figures showed unemployment coming down faster than | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
many had expected David Cameron says he is determined that the recovery | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
will benefit everyone - north and south. Speaking to our Business | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
Editor Robert Peston at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland - he | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
warned that it would take time before people felt the recovery in | :08:19. | :08:30. | |
their pockets. They come from all Ove the world -- over the world to | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
the top of a Swiss mountain. The rich, the powerful, not to see, but | :08:36. | :08:44. | |
they say to solve the world's problems. But the problems don't | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
seem as severe as they have, because there is a strengthening economic | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
recovery, not only in prince, but also -- Britain, but also in America | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
and much of the world. We seem to be eper thing a period of economic | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
recovery for the first time since the banking crisis. Do you think we | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
can have confidence that will go on? I think we can be confident, as long | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
as we tackle the problems that let to -- led to the difficulty and | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
getting our deficit down, mending broken banking systems, making sure | :09:16. | :09:24. | |
recoveries are balanced. But as they sit here and drink champagne, in the | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
lavish parties here, there is one thing they say profoundly troubles | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
them. Which is that as we enjoy this relatively strong recovery, too many | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
of the rewards are going to them and not enough to poorer people. This | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
isn't just about the cost-of-living rising faster than earnings, in | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
places like Britain. It is about a longer trend of a widening gap | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
between the richest and poorest all over the word. When do you think | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
people will be able to feel that the recovery is benefitting them in | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
terms of their living standards? These things take time and we are | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
recovering from the o' longest recession in living memory. And the | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
recovery has come in jobs first and we saw the largest increase in | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
employment since records began. But we are cutting taxes, so we are | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
seeing signs in terms of take home pay. But it is going to take time. ? | :10:32. | :10:39. | |
What more the International Monetary Fund isn't even sure the covery will | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
last more than a year. It is a year of reform and adjustments and | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
without those policies, I think we are facing another challenging year | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
in 2015. The length of the recovery matters to all of us, although | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
probably less to the superwealthy as they make their way home from this | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
summit. Crime in England and Wales has fallen to its lowest level for | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
more than three decades. The latest figures in the annual crime survey | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
show a ten per cent drop in the year to last September. There's been a | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
significant decrease in violent crime but the shoplifting and theft | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
from the person has increased. Home Affairs Correspondent Tom Symonds | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
reports. A high profile police operation today, the Metropolitan | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
Police moving in on alleged domestic abusers. If you harass or stalk a | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
partner, the police will not tolerate this. Tough talk, partly | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
designed to reassure, because many of us simply can't believe crime is | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
falling. Year after year, there has been a fall in #kr50i78 from a -- | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
crime from a high in the mid 90s. Today's crop of 10% shows the number | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
of victims of crime is at the lowest since records began in 1981. This is | :12:08. | :12:17. | |
a survey of more than 40,000 people. Violent crime was down 13%. But | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
there were increases. Sexual crimes are up 17%. Partly due to victims | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
coming forward after the Jimmy Savile scandal. Theft from the | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
person without violence were up 7%. Shoplifting up 4%. So why is crime | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
falling over all? That is because of many people, including the police, | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
whose basic job is to cut crime and crime is falling. That is good news. | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
Here is another reason - modern car security. They say however hard I | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
hit it, it isn't going to break. That was eight years ago. Result - | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
joy riding is no longer the starter crime it was. Offending is changing. | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
Mobile phone theft in the street is a big problem, because houses are | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
harder break into. When you break in, the goods don't have a high | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
resale and so when people break in, they look for money and stuff that | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
is small and can be easily sold or just spent. Crime is moving online. | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
Including credit card fraud which isn't included in the figures. There | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
are more criminals in prison and one theory, still a theory, after lead | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
was Rae moved -- removed from petrol, crime fell. Perhaps pause | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
because of the effect of exhaust fumes on the brain. A coroner has | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
ruled that there were "lost opportunities" in the care and | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
treatment of a four-year-old boy who died after heart surgery at Bristol | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
Children's Hospital. Sean Turner died in March 2012 from a | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
haemorrhage six weeks after he underwent heart surgery. At the | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
inquest, his parents criticised the hospital and questioned whether | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
enough lessons had been learnt from their son's death. A woman has told | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
a court that the former Radio 1 DJ Dave Lee Travis indecently assaulted | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
her while he was presenting a live programme. The woman, who was | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
working for the BBC at the time, said her complaints were ignored by | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
the Corporation when she reported them in the wake of the Jimmy Savile | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
scandal. Mr Travis denies 13 counts of indecent assault and one of | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
sexual assault. The singer Justin Bieber has been arrested on | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
suspicion of racing his Lamborghini against a Ferrari driven by another | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
pop star in Miami Beach. The driver of the other car, the singer Khalil, | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
has also been arrested. Both are suspected of having been drunk at | :14:49. | :15:00. | |
the time. Justin Bieber, one of the most photographed celebrities in the | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
world, seen in a mug shot which will disappoint his fans. This is the | :15:05. | :15:15. | |
scene, but moments later the teenage pop sensation's evening came to an | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
end. These fans filmed it on their phone. Officers say he had been | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
racing a friend and was driving at double the speed limit. We opened up | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
the window and confronted Justin Beaver and he smelt of a strong | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
alcoholic beverage. He was not cooperating with the officer's | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
instructions and the officer asked him to exit the vehicle and he | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
questioned why he was being stopped. Eventually he stepped out of the | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
vehicle and would not follow instructions. The officer placed him | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
under arrest. He was taken to a police station nearby where he had | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
admitted he had had a beer, smoked marijuana and had taken prescription | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
drugs. The singer was charged this morning with resisting arrest | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
without violence, driving under the influence and having an out of date | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
licence. The police report also says he swore repeatedly at the officer | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
who pulled him over. The Canadian teenager shot to fame at the age of | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
15 and became an overnight star with a huge and loyal following. Recently | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
his erratic behaviour has seen him attract the wrong kind of headlines. | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
Earlier this month, police raided the singer 's mad cows in California | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
after neighbours complained eggs had been thrown at them from his | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
property. Drugs were found during the search. The singer is due to | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
appear before the judge later today. He faces up to six months in | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
jail, a fine and community service if found guilty. The time is nearly | :16:55. | :17:03. | |
17 minutes past six. Our top story: The health watchdog has branded some | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
NHS waiting times as unreliable and says patients are being failed. And | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
more missed targets for Man U. Yesterday it was the League Cup, | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
today the club is no longer among Europe's top earners. Later on BBC | :17:16. | :17:24. | |
London: Chew bosses announced plans to beat next month's strike by | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
bringing in volunteer workers. And the London surgeons pioneering new | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
treatment for sufferers of deep vein thrombosis. The storms that battered | :17:36. | :17:44. | |
Britain's coastline this month did not just cause damage to its seaside | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
resorts, they changed its physical geography. One four-mile stretch of | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
coastline in Wales was so altered by the waves that it has been pushed | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
back 50 feet. But the changes have unearthed some interesting | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
surprises. Jeremy Cooke reports from Tywyn. The West Coast of Wales, | :17:59. | :18:12. | |
pounded by a new year storm, powerful enough to stop the trains, | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
and to change the landscape revealing a lost history. Tywyn | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
beach is stripped of sand and covering the remains of an historic | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
forest, emerging into the light after being buried literally for | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
ages. A thick layer of peat from the ancient forest floor. Perhaps the | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
most remarkable thing I things like this, totally recognisable trees, | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
lying where they fell thousands of years ago. Here we can see how big | :18:46. | :18:57. | |
the tree stumps were, we get a much clearer picture of what the ancient | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
landscape was like. Would the peat beds, a mystery, clearly they have | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
been carefully excavated, but where the locals digging for fuel or was | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
this a medieval fish trap? New questions and new discoveries for | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
those who walk this beach every day. It is completely different, it is | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
not what you would expect to find on a beach. People do not associate a | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
beach with woods and forests and that is what we are standing on. And | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
a glimpse of another slice of history, tracks cut into the peat so | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
clear it could have been made yesterday. But this war veteran | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
knows different. He was stationed here preparing amphibious tanks for | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
D-day and beyond. Those are made by a vehicle or a water buffalo and | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
those cuts, as the trap went round, they propelled the vehicle through | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
the water. The tides here are already at work and history so | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
dramatically revealed will soon be buried once again, lost to the sand | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
and the sea. The number of secondary schools in England classed as | :20:11. | :20:11. | |
underperforming has fallen according to the latest league tables. 154 | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
state-funded schools out of over 3000 are now deemed to be below | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
standard, that is 61 fewer than last year. Our education correspondent | :20:19. | :20:28. | |
Reeta Chakrabarti is here. An awful lot of numbers, how significant are | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
they? The government is pleased with these results. They show an | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
improvement on the previous year and over a longer period, so the | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
Education Secretary Michael Gove is saying today the number of children | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
in underperforming schools has fallen by nearly a quarter of a | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
million since 2010 and he has praised teachers for helping | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
children. At the moment schools are judged on how many of their pupils | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
get five good GCSEs, above grade C, over a period of time. This year for | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
the first time schools are being given a grade, A, B, C, D, and that | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
will represent the average of what children obtain in their best eight | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
subjects. It is going to be the main indicator of how a school does in a | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
few years time and its purpose is to stop schools from concentrating on | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
children who are a borderline C, often ministers feel at the expense | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
of weaker or more able pupils. The Ukrainian President, Victor | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
Yanukovych, has asked for an emergency session of Parliament | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
after two people died in mass protests in the capital Kiev. He | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
said the session, to be held next week, would be in addition to | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
negotiations with opposition leaders. Earlier, the European | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
Commission said it had been assured by President Yanukovych that he did | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
not intend to introduce emergency rule. Car production in the UK has | :21:48. | :21:56. | |
hit a six-year high with a car rolling off a production line every | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
20 seconds. More than 1.5 million cars left the factory last year and | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
the vast majority, 80%, were exported. Our industry correspondent | :22:05. | :22:13. | |
John Moylan reports. Built in Britain, but destined for the world. | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
This plant in Solihull has never been busier, meeting growing demand | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
at home and from America and amongst the growing middle classes of Asia. | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
We never stop investing in our people and retaining our skills and | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
we never stop investing in research for the future. When the recession | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
finally started to come to an end we were able to hit the ground running. | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
It is a mark of the success of Jaguar Land Rover that this plant | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
employs 6000 people and will take on another 1700 this year. Its success | :22:50. | :23:01. | |
is part of the reason why in 2013 UK car production | :23:02. | :23:01. | |
[email protected] plants made more than 1.5 million cars, the | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
best performance in six years. But there were losers as well. The | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
number of cars coming off the production line of Vauxhall's | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
Ellesmere plant have fallen. The slump in the European market has hit | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
demand. Some companies operating in that market can do very well, but | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
what we are seeing is Vauxhall and Honda not doing very well and that | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
comes down to the combination of a market being in a bad position, but | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
they have relatively weak products. Back in the Midlands one local | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
supplier is expanding from here to hear tents to Jaguar Land Rover's | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
success. It plans to hire another 400 staff. This is a huge investment | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
for us, but that is linked in with Jaguar Land Rover and the investment | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
we have made to plan for the future and Coke for the new model lines | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
coming through. 80% of UK made cars are exported, so we are exposed to | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
economic changes worldwide, but the industry believes it could hit | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
record levels by 2017. They are out of both Cups, adrift in the Premier | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
league, and have only the Champions League to save their season, | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
although even the most optimistic Manchester United fan will admit | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
that is a long shot. Today the club dropped out of the top three highest | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
earners in Europe, but it is also on the verge of a record signing. | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
It was a night which summed up this season. With a Wembley final at | :24:38. | :24:46. | |
stake Manchester united's nerve crumbled in truly spectacular | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
fashion, in one of the worst penalty shoot outs in memory. It handed | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
Sunderland victory and United's critics and other field day. As Sir | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
Alex Ferguson watched on, his successor could only reflect on | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
another grim result. We did not play well last night dashed tonight, and | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
we did not get it in the end. But that is football and we will get on | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
with it. But the Reds had a horrible case of the January loose. First | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
loss against and then a defeat ending their Premier league hopes | :25:27. | :25:35. | |
and last night and end of league and Trophy. The only good news is the | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
prospect of signing Juan Mata for a record ?37 million. Last minute they | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
scored that goal and they could have won. Shocking, shocking, confidence | :25:48. | :25:58. | |
at an all-time low. They are missing a whole midfield and defence. But | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
United's rivals are catching them off the pitch as well. It is the | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
first time ever they have dropped out of the top three of Europe's | :26:09. | :26:16. | |
biggest earning clubs. Any downturn on the pitch if it is short-term it | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
is nothing. If it goes into weeks and months and years, it will have | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
an impact. Greater Manchester Police dialled 999 and asked to speak to | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
Sir Alex Ferguson. They point out this is no emergency, but for United | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
the pain is clean dashed clear to see. And that brings us to the | :26:43. | :26:44. | |
weather. There is more wet weather to come. | :26:45. | :26:55. | |
This has been the story today. This brought showery rain and then it | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
brightened up quite nicely behind it. Then the clouds gathered out | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
into the South West and that will bring rain overnight and into | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
tomorrow. In the east it will feel pretty cold. The first signs of that | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
are developing with clear skies overnight and dense part dashed | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
patches of fog. In Scotland we could see some snow as it bumps into the | :27:22. | :27:28. | |
cold air. We have also got an amber warning out for Somerset and that is | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
because the river levels are extremely high and a further ten or | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
20 millimetres of rain may well exacerbate the problems. In the east | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
there is the fog in East Anglia. A wet start in Northern Ireland and | :27:44. | :27:49. | |
gale force gusts of wins are likely. If we get freezing rain it | :27:50. | :27:56. | |
will be treacherous on the roads. As the day continues the wet and windy | :27:57. | :28:01. | |
weather pushes further inland. It will weaken as it moves into eastern | :28:02. | :28:06. | |
areas, but it is a pretty dismal day. It will feel quite cold with | :28:07. | :28:14. | |
that rain but there may be double figures in the South West. It is a | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
quiet start to Saturday, but a line of showers starts to drift down from | :28:19. | :28:24. | |
the North West. That clears on Saturday night and a cold night | :28:25. | :28:30. | |
develops and the next area of low pressure starts to wind its way in | :28:31. | :28:33. | |
from the Atlantic. More wet and windy weather to come. I can see you | :28:34. | :28:41. | |
shaking your head. That is horrible. That is all from the BBC's News | :28:42. | :28:42. |
