an "unprecedented mystery". Three days after it disappeared, ten | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
countries are now involved in the search. In Beijing, desperate | :00:15. | :00:25. | |
relatives wait for news - 239 people, most of them Chinese, are | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
missing. One focus is on two men travelling on stolen passports, who | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
investigators say were not Asian-looking. Also tonight... The | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
MP Nigel Evans goes on trial accused of indecent and sexual assault and | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
rape. Britain's rapidly-changing coastline, after this winter's | :00:40. | :00:50. | |
relentless storms. A special report tonight on the cost of living. I am | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
near Edinburgh, and I will be asking if the squeeze on families might be | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
coming to an end. And Kelly Gallagher and Charlotte | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
Evans win Great Britain's first ever Paralympic gold at the Winter | :01:01. | :01:01. | |
Olympics. Tonight on BBC London... Claims | :01:02. | :01:10. | |
dredging the Thames would have reduced the amount of flooding this | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
winter. And a promise from Gatwick airport to pay residents council tax | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
if a second runway gets the go-ahead. | :01:17. | :01:30. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. It's being called an | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
"unprecedented mystery". Three days after a Malaysia Airlines plane | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
bound for Beijing disappeared from the radar, a massive search | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
operation has failed to find any evidence at all of the plane. The | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
area being searched has been widened again, with ten countries now | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
helping to look for wreckage. One focus of the investigation is on two | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
passengers who boarded the plane using stolen passports. Police say | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
they have identified them on CCTV and described them as "not | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
Asian-looking". Many of the relatives of the 239 people on board | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
are waiting for news at a hotel in Beijing. From there, our | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
correspondent Damian Gramaticas sent this report. | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
For three days now, they have been scouring the ocean, and still | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
nothing. Flight 370 has simply vanished. Dozens of ships are | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
combing the sea. Every lead has proved false. An oil slick spotted | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
from the area has been tested. It came from a ship. And what might | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
have been adorned now cannot be found. So, no trace of the 239 | :02:40. | :02:50. | |
people on board, including artists, an IBM executive... For their | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
families, cooped up in a Beijing hotel, the lack of definite news is | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
taking a terrible toll. TRANSLATION: People are slowly | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
coming to accept the awful truth, but while there is a tiny glimmer of | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
hope, we are clinging to it. We just want to know what happened, he tells | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
me. Investigations have led to this travel agent in Thailand. Two men | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
using stolen passports bought tickets here. The agent says they | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
did not request the flight, she chose it for them because it was the | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
cheapest way to get to Europe. The airline says what has happened to | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
its plain is a mystery, but it is still investigating. We have looked | :03:32. | :03:40. | |
at the footage of the video, and the photographs. It is confirmed now | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
that they are not Asian looking men. And so, the search has been | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
widened. It was focusing on the sea, but it now extends across a | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
suede of land, far to the west of the original flight path. The black | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
box flight recorders will only emit signals for a month. Effectively, | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
they have a 30 day battery life, and once that life span has gone, then | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
it becomes exceedingly difficult to find what remains of this aircraft. | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
In China, relatives are now applying for visas to travel to Malaysia, | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
increasingly angry with the airline, their hopes fading. All of | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
the weighting and uncertainty is wearing for the families. They say | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
now that all they want our answers, to find out from Malaysia Airlines | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
where that plane has gone, and they want all of its resources put into | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
the search. With me now is our transport correspondent, Richard | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
Westcott. An unprecedented mystery - planes have vanished from the radar | :04:43. | :04:51. | |
before, but not for this long? What are the theories? Even former pilots | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
and air investigators are saying things to me like, it is bizarre, it | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
is odd. Most problems with planes will leave a trace. If all of the | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
engines fail on an aircraft, it does not fall out of the sky, it can | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
glide for 80 - 90 miles, giving the pilot a chance to put in a Mayday | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
call. If there is a sudden depressurisation, if a window blows | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
out, it will lose altitude quickly, but it will not make the plane | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
disintegrate, and you will see it on radar. If a hijacker comes to | :05:22. | :05:29. | |
light, there is a special code they can put in to tell everybody what is | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
happening. Besides, you cannot land a plane this big anywhere without | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
anybody noticing. Everything is pointing to a sudden, catastrophic, | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
midair break-up. The tide and the wind could be spreading any possible | :05:46. | :05:46. | |
debris far and wide. The trial of the former Deputy | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
Speaker of the House of Commons Nigel Evans has started at Preston | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
Crown Court. Mr Evans, who is the MP for Ribble Valley in Lancashire, is | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
accused of eight counts of indecent and sexual assault, and one of rape. | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
The alleged offences are said to have happened between 2002 and last | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
year and involved seven men. He denies all nine charges. Danny | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
Savage reports. Nigel Evans, an MP for more than 20 | :06:09. | :06:20. | |
years, arrived at court today talking about sport. But once he was | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
inside, the subject became far more serious. The jury was told he had | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
used his powerful influence to sexually assault seven young men | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
over an in 11 year period. The prosecution said part of his | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
influence included the ability to make or to break the careers of | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
young people who would be politicians or work for those who | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
govern. The QC said, the prosecution case is that the defendant, often | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
when in drink... Some of the alleged assaults took | :06:51. | :07:02. | |
place in the Palace of Westminster, others were here in Lancashire, some | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
of them at his constituency home. One of those was reported to senior | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
figures within the Conservative Party by the complainant, who wanted | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
Mr Evans to resign. But he was told the timing was unfortunate, a | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
general election was due, and that Mr Evans, who did not deny the | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
event, would be spoken to. When running for the prestigious post of | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
Deputy Speaker, Mr Evans was subsequently advised to stick to the | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
company of MPs and avoid situations which could lead to gossip. He | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
denies all the charges, and had this to say when he stood down after the | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
allegations came to light. Winston Churchill said, when you are going | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
through hell, keep going. Sage advice. And so I will see this | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
through to the end. With the support of the people that means so much to | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
me. The court heard several MPs will be giving evidence for the | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
prosecution, including John Bercow, the Speaker of the House of Commons. | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
The trial is expected to last up to five weeks. | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
A woman who alleges she was indecently assaulted by the | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
publicist Max Clifford when she was a school girl has told a court she | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
feared she was going to be raped. The woman, who cannot be named, was | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
14 in 1966 when she said he offered her a lift, drove to an alleyway and | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
"lunged" at her. Mr Clifford denies 11 allegations brought by seven | :08:24. | :08:24. | |
women over a period of 18 years. Labour has pledged to fund a | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
guaranteed job scheme for young unemployed people throughout the | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
lifetime of the next parliament if it wins the next election. The | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
scheme would apply to 18- to 24-year-olds who have been out of | :08:39. | :08:50. | |
work for more than a year. The job would last six months and anyone | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
turning it down would risk losing their benefits. The Conservatives | :08:54. | :09:02. | |
say the costings do not add up. Our deputy political editor, James | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
Landale, reports Britain's coastline has taken a battering this winter, | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
with one storm after another. Alfie was on the dole, but he got some | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
training at this firm in north London. Yes, you learn how to paint, | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
but he also learned how to work. I was looking for work and there was | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
nothing. I was just e-mailing loads of companies, and this one got back | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
to me from the Jobcentre. I jumped at it. So now you are an apprentice. | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
Yes, I have come a long way from being out of work for eight months, | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
doing nothing. Now, I am working every day, from eight until five, | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
with a job. It is the kind of experience labour hopes thousands of | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
unemployed young people should have, by forcing them to take a six-month | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
job or risk losing their benefits just the same rules would apply to | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
thousands of older people out of work for more than two years, a | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
policy which the party promised today to fund for five years. But | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
paying for 200,000 temporary jobs would cost a lot of money, about ?5 | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
billion, and Labour would pay for it by imposing a one-year tax on | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
bankers' bonuses and permanently cutting pension tax relief for those | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
earning more than ?150,000. We are in the middle of another bank bonus | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
round. Bonuses are going up. This is an issue of fairness, at a time when | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
the economy is beginning to recover, and everybody, including young | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
people out of work, should get to benefit from the recovery. Their | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
problem is that Labour's promise has been spent the bank bonus tax | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
before. The Tories said the Labour plan would not raise enough cash. | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
You could only do it if you tried to repeat it, the banks would change | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
their arrangements, so that would not work. Some fear businesses will | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
struggle to create the jobs, and even if they do, the risk is that | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
they will not last beyond six months. I think people understand, | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
business is not charity. Businesses will need to invest in their | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
business and work hard at training someone. It is not just a matter of | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
taking someone on, you have to mentor them and introduce them into | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
the business. For Labour, this policy is a triple whammy. They are | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
hoping to create jobs, cut welfare and squeeze the rich, all at the | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
same time. The question is whether one single scheme can ever be the | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
solution to long-term unemployment instead of just some sustained | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
economic growth? James Landale, BBC News, North London. | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
Britain's coastline has taken a battering this winter, with one | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
storm after another. Some areas have suffered the equivalent of seven | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
years of erosion in just two months. Now the National Trust has called | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
for a re-think on how Britain defends its coastline. It argues | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
some locations may have to be sacrificed because the sea can no | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
longer be held back. Duncan Kennedy reports. | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
A Coast in crisis. This is Sussex, Birling Gap, whether just got | :12:04. | :12:19. | |
bigger. Take a look at this. Here, they have seen seven years of | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
erosion in two months. Good for a photo, less good for safety. This is | :12:24. | :12:31. | |
another, at Hastings. Again, tonnes of rock dislodged onto the beach. | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
Just like here in Bournemouth. All of it, the result of pounding by the | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
waves and rain. It comes as the National Trust produces this new map | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
of coastal erosion hotspots around Britain. There is a warning that | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
man-made defences may no longer work in places like Orford Ness and | :12:54. | :13:01. | |
Formby. We have come to rely on defences in the past which will no | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
longer be a plausible option for every where in the future. | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
Adaptation is something we will need to look at. This is an example of | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
adapting, near Chichester. That gap in the shoreline is where the sea | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
has been deliberately let in, because the defences could not cope. | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
And this is how it works. Whereas the sea once stopped there on the | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
beach, it is now being allowed to flow in here. In fact, it goes four | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
kilometres inland to wear a new set of defences has been set up. Whereas | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
all this used to be dry land, now, as you can see, the sea is in | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
charge. And although that means some houses have been saved, not everyone | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
agrees with it. What do you think of the idea of letting the sea in? | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
Absolutely crazy. There is a lot of people live down here. They really | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
ought to do something about it, try and stop the sea. Old photos show | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
the relentless progress of coastal erosion. This is Sussex in 1912. The | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
same spot 20 years later. And look now. The changing shape of Britain. | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
Our top story this evening... The search for the missing Malaysia | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
Airlines plane has been widened. Three days since it disappeared, | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
there's no trace of wreckage. And still to come - Oscar Pistorius | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
is physically sick as he hears details of his girlfriend's | :14:32. | :14:32. | |
postmortem. Later on BBC London, the parking | :14:33. | :14:44. | |
firm which forced over-67s from their jobs after initially claiming | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
it could not get them insurance cover. And taking to the dance floor | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
to express views about multicultural London. | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
Now, is the UK economy firmly back on track? There's been some more | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
good news for the Chancellor ahead of next week's budget. The British | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
Chambers of Commerce says millions of workers should see their wages | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
grow faster than rising prices. This week, George Alagiah is looking at | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
the progress and the pitfalls of the economic road ahead. He begins | :15:14. | :15:14. | |
tonight in West Lothian. Thank you and hello from Livingston. | :15:15. | :15:25. | |
I'm at one of Tesco's largest distribution centres. If you are | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
wondering why I am wearing a coat, it's freezing in here. Let me give | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
you some idea of how big this place is. You could fit eight football | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
pitches into this site. 1800 people work here. Every week, from here, | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
about 4 million cases just like this get sent out to shops in Scotland, | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
the North of England and Ireland. The cost of groceries matter to | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
people. It affects their standard of living. So, I've been asking, what | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
does it feel like now that the recovery does seem to be underway? | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
I've been talking to people around here, and I began with one of the | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
employees here on this site. Tom Simpson knows all about rock | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
bottom. His business crashed in the financial crisis. This job at Tesco | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
has been a lifeline, changing the outlook for him and his family. How | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
you doing, you OK today? This is a parade that was going on when we | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
were in Florida. Last year, the family went on holiday It was the | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
first time in four years. This is my mum and my little brother. Susan and | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
Tom work alternate day and night shifts, keeping childcare costs | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
down. It's hard going but, for them, this is a time to be optimistic. Now | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
there is certainly light at the end of the tunnel. I used to be in a | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
really dark place, when I lost my job and was self-employed. But now | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
I'm employed again. We have extra money every month. We're going on | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
holiday still. The interest rate is helping with the mortgage. You | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
know, that's helping us at the moment. So... We feel as if the | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
recovery is happening. Next stop for me was Johnston, about an hour's | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
drive west, where I heard a very different story. | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
Jamie, it's George Alagiah. Nice to meet you. Jamie Caldwell has escaped | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
three rounds of redundancies at his workplace. At 25, he still lives | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
with his parents. It's home, but he longs to have his own life, his own | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
space. Jamie, in many ways, you're fortunate, you've got a decent job? | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
Yeah, I've got a decent job, but I'm still part of the working poor. I | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
feel like I'm a burden on my parents and you shouldn't really feel you | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
are a burden on your parents. But, you know, they're basically | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
subsidising my living, in a sense. Making up for the money that I don't | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
have. It's only a ten minute drive to Paisley and suburban gentility. | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
By any standards, Zhou and Frank are well off and they now earn too much | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
to qualify for child benefit. But they say pay freezes have left them | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
worse off. Four years ago when we were doing our weekly grocery | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
shopping, it was about ?50. Now it's about ?70 or ?80, easily. We | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
actually find our living standard is gradually dropping, as the economy | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
recovers. So, if the people along Scotland 's M8, linking east to | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
west, are anything to go by, the recovery means very different things | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
to different people. Now if today's report about wages | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
and the cost of living proves right, families should be feeling the | :18:45. | :18:46. | |
effects in their household budgets by the summer. Our chief economics | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
correspondent Hugh Pym has been looking at the numbers to see what's | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
happened to household incomes in the last few years. He's sent this | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
report from Glasgow. Coming up for air, that is what | :18:59. | :19:07. | |
anyone who hasn't hazmat Charvet wage rise in recent years and had to | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
cope with rapidly rising living costs is hoping happens soon. For | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
some, it has been a long struggle to stay afloat. The squeeze on living | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
standards has been one of the big economic themes since the recession. | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
Before the downturn, average earnings were higher than the cost | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
of living increases, then the trend reversed, putting a lot of pressure | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
on consumers. The gap has begun to narrow, with many economists | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
expecting it to close completely later in the year. That means the | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
cost of living outlook by the end of 2014 may well be better than it has | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
been for a while. We are seeing employment growing, so employers are | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
willing to pay more. We are seeing inflation being subdued, so those | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
two factors together are feeding through to probably rising real | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
wages for the first time in some considerable time. That's got to be | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
a good outcome for 2014. So, what has happened to incomes, after | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
taking into account changes in taxes and benefits and inflation? | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
According to the Institute for Fiscal Studies, a have sold an | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
average income will receive 32 thousand ?500 in its current | :20:17. | :20:25. | |
financial year, down just over 2100. Income is increasing again, open | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
just under ?200 in the coming year. Forecasters are saying it, but | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
forecasters will want to see the reality. Inflation predictions can | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
be thrown out by unexpected events such as a jumping oil prices. The | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
cost of living issue is sure to remain high on the agenda. | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
Just one other fact for you. In the last hour, well we have been a | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
year, 45 trucks have left the depot. Well, that's all from | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
Livingston. Tomorrow we'll be on Merseyside, where I'll be asking if | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
Britain is experiencing the right kind of recovery. From the scene | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
here, goodbye. The South African Olympian Oscar | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
Pistorius was physically sick a number of times in court today as | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
graphic detail was heard about the postmortem carried out on his | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. The judge banned the media from | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
broadcasting the evidence live because it was feared it may cause | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
undue distress. Oscar Pistorius, who says he mistook Reeva Steenkamp for | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
a burglar, denies murdering her on Valentine's Day last year. | :21:28. | :21:37. | |
Four days, this trial has been about what Oscar Pistorius did or didn't | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
do. Today, the focus shifted to his victim, Reeva Steenkamp. The | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
evidence presented in court so gruesome, the live cameras were | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
switched off. I chose at the outset to indicate to the court that I | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
would not be comfortable in the streaming of my evidence due to the | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
very nature thereof. Oscar Pistorius listened in silence as the State | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
pathologist began to describe three devastating injuries to her head, | :22:07. | :22:14. | |
arm and pelvis. The bullets were specially designed to break upon | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
impact, he said, causing maximum tissue damage. Meters away, | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
Pistorius slumped forwards and began to retch loudly and repeatedly | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
during more than power of testimony. From today's graphic | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
testimony, the prosecution are likely to focus on the fact that | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
Reeva Steenkamp had eaten a meal sometime after midnight, about two | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
hours before she died. Oscar Pistorius, in his evidence last | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
year, made no mention of that. Could that mean they were both awake, | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
later, and perhaps browing as the prosecution claims? -- browing. A | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
badly shaken Pistorius will have his chance to answer that in the weeks | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
ahead. A man who says he took part in the attack on PC Keith Blake | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
clock in the Broadwater farm riots in north London in 1985 has | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
described how the officer killed in a ball screamed for help as he was | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
attacked by a frenzied mob. The witness told the jury he saw | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
Nicholas Jacobs stabbed a constable with a machete. Mr Jacobs, 16 at the | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
time, denies murder. The former Prime Minister Gordon | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
Brown has been adding his voice to the debate on Scottish independence. | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
Speaking in Glasgow, Mr Brown said the Scottish Parliament should be | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
given more powers, including greater control over income tax, as a way of | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
creating a partnership of equals between Scotland and the rest of the | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
UK. A 23-year-old serving soldier has been arrested on suspicion of | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
murder after a body was found at an army barracks in Shropshire. The | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
dead man has been named as 32-year-old Corporal Jeffrey | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
McNeill. He was also serving with the First Battalion, the Royal Irish | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
Regiment. His body was found inside a Golding at Clyde barracks on | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
Saturday morning. Great Britain's won its first ever | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
Paralympic Gold medal at the Winter Olympic. The skier Kelly Gallagher, | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
who's visually impaired, and her guide Charlotte Evans have made | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
history by winning the Super G event in Sochi. The 28-year-old from | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
County Down, who didn't take up skiing until she was 17, said the | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
race was nerve-wracking but they were delighted with their medal. | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
She is surely the definition of delight. 27-year-old Kelly | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
Gallagher, happy and glorious indeed. Alongside her, guide | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
Charlotte Evans, Britain's first-ever Winter Paralympic | :24:31. | :24:32. | |
champions, after a triumph of talent, trust and teamwork. | :24:33. | :24:40. | |
Gallagher, who was born with a visual impairment, can only see | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
Evans's orange bib on the slopes and hear her guidance via headset. But, | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
nervously, she hurtled down the mountain at nearly 90 kph. | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
The pair had been tipped for a medal in Sochi. But in Saturday's downhill | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
they finished last and in tears. Today, what a contrast. Kelly | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
Gallagher sets the pace! The first pair down, they'd clocked a testing | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
target. The question now, could anyone beat it? Well, their own | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
team-mates came close. Jade Etherington and Caroline Powell | :25:11. | :25:12. | |
claiming bronze to go with their silver on Saturday. But British gold | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
was just around the corner. She's missed the gate! When the final pair | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
failed to finish, Gallagher and Evans had done it. We've always been | :25:24. | :25:31. | |
second and third, all the time. This season, we started winning more | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
races and stuff. So today we got to stand in the centre. And, with | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
another British girl on the podium, Caroline and Jade - like, this is | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
cool. We've worked so hard for this and it's finally come, we've just | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
won gold. For Gallagher, cheered on by her mum, Margaret, it was also | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
the most poignant of victories. She did it for her daddy. We lost her | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
daddy a year and a half ago. So it was more emotional because of that | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
as well. But she did us all proud, so did Charlotte, bringing her down | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
safe. I'm just so happy. And with very good reason. For the first time | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
in Paralympic or Olympic history, British champions on snow, on a day | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
when finally, the white stuff turned to gold. | :26:13. | :26:21. | |
Lets have a look at the weather now. Lots of amazing sunshine at the | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
moment? That's right, dry as well. That sort of weather is set to stay | :26:26. | :26:36. | |
for this week. High pressure has spent the day building in across the | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
UK. Of course, it's never that straightforward. If you've been | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
close to this decaying weather front with the cloud affecting parts of | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
East Anglia in particular, your day has been very different compared to | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
yesterday. You have been 12 degrees lower than yesterday. On top of | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
that, we have seen the nagging north-easterly wind as well. That | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
area of cloud will stay with us tonight. If you are underneath | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
that, it may expand its coverage little bit and you'll avoid a | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
frost. Parts of south-west England, Wales, maybe later in the night East | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
Anglia will see frost. Across northern England, Scotland and | :27:09. | :27:10. | |
Northern Ireland, temperatures close to freezing for frost and patchy fog | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
as well, Northern Ireland in particular. With those areas of high | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
pressure tomorrow, those letters are important, dry. The northern part of | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
the UK will see the best of it. We still have the area to the south | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
with the breeze, additionally the Bristol Channel and southwards. This | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
is how it looks at three o'clock in the afternoon. Northern Ireland, | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
some of the fog, late morning before it clears. You have sunshine | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
replacing it. Northern England, sunny spells. It feels warm and that | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
sunshine, even though temperatures are not far from normal. Underneath | :27:47. | :27:49. | |
the cloud with the breeze, it doesn't feel too special. The sting | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
and, including London. Some sunny spells for the far south-west. That | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
is how it looks tomorrow afternoon, for the next few days you can't bank | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
on the sunshine. There will be some fog around to start the day. It | :28:03. | :28:06. | |
always feels warmest when you've got the blue sky. If you are clear at | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
night, it will be chilly enough for a touch of frost. The most | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
significant feature of the weather, dry. No storms in the forecast. Our | :28:16. | :28:17. | |
weather can be like this! A reminder of the main stories: The | :28:18. | :28:26. | |
search for the missing Malaysia airlines plane has widened, three | :28:27. | :28:30. | |
days after it disappeared. There is still no trace of any wreckage. And | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
the MP Nigel Evans has gone on trial, accused of indecent and | :28:35. | :28:37. | |
sexual assault and rape. | :28:38. | :28:41. |
