The death toll in the Turkish mine disaster rises - | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
The death toll in the Turkish mine a hundred and 20 still trapped. | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
Rescuers have brought some out alive but hopes are fading for those men | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
still stuck far below ground. Is he alive or dead? That is all I want to | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
know. We need one piece of hope. We'll bring you the latest from the | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
mine in western Turkey where relatives face another agonising | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
night of waiting. Also tonight: The teenage cancer | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
sufferer Stephen Sutton whose fundraising efforts inspired people | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
worldwide has died. Unemployment falls to a five year | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
low but interest rates are unlikely to rise for some time yet. | :00:45. | :00:49. | |

?50,000 for the family of a murdered man in their battle against police | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
corruption. Good evening. The Government in | :01:17. | :01:38. | |
Turkey has declared three days of national mourning after nearly 250 | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
miners were killed in an explosion and fire at a coal mine in the West | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
of the country. A further 120 are thought to be still trapped inside. | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
It's not known whether they are alive or dead. Carbon monoxide | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
poisoning killed many of the miners after a power unit blew up two | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
kilometres underground, shutting down ventilation systems. Oxygen is | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
now being pumped into the mine and rescue teams are still searching for | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
survivors. Hundreds of worried relatives have gathered for the | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
agonising wait for news of their loved ones but hopes are fading for | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
those left underground. Our correspondent James Reynolds has | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
spent the day at the mine in Soma. Some of the images in his piece are | :02:15. | :02:15. | |
distressing. The earth of western Turkey gives up | :02:16. | :02:33. | |
its survivors slowly. This morning rescuers saved if you miners from | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
the fire below. It began when a power unit exploded deep | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
underground. For the past 24 hours we have been waiting hopefully to | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
get our friends out alive. That is all that we wish. At night rescuers | :02:47. | :02:56. | |
found the first bodies. Many of these miners choked on carbon | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
monoxide. More than 100 of their fellow workers may still be trapped. | :03:02. | :03:11. | |
This woman's husband is underground. God help us, she cries. She has | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
joined dozens of mining families in the grounds of the hospital. Here | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
they wait. My son was two months from retirement, she tells me. He | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
plans to come back home and settled. This family is waiting for news of | :03:36. | :03:50. | |
their 26-year-old grandson. If he alive or dead? That is all we want | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
to know. We need one piece of hope. For these family members, this has | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
become a vigil. They are desperate to find out what has happened to the | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
miners still trapped underground and there is nowhere else for them to | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
go. Rescue teams continued to look for the lost miners using all the | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
technology they could find. But they have yet to break through. The | :04:12. | :04:20. | |
mind's owners insist that it passed all of its safety checks. Words that | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
will mean little to those inspecting this overnight tomb. What more do we | :04:25. | :04:36. | |
know about what caused the accident and how difficult will it be to | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
reach the miners trapped underground? David Shukman has been | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
looking at the options. A minor stunned that he is still alive, his | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
father overwhelmed with relief. This is a disaster on an horrific scale. | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
The miners emerging from underground are lucky ones. Among the tears, and | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
hopes for better news, a mounting sense of anger that this was ever | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
allowed to happen. Protests against the Government erupted in several | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
parts of Turkey. Had been warnings about safety at the mine a few weeks | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
ago. Feelings are running extremely high. The mining company said it | :05:17. | :05:26. | |
passed recent inspections, but right now that is not helping. Thousands | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
of people have gathered at the entrance to the mine. The nightmare | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
is the obstacle standing in the way of rescuing survivors. The mine is | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
deep and nobody can be sure where people are trapped. Most seriously, | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
the power supply was cut off, putting the lifts and lights out of | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
action. The ventilation system has stock, which is critically | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
important. They are pumping in fresh air but oxygen levels have dropped | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
because oxygen is getting sucked in. The lack of ventilation also means | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
that levels of carbon monoxide have been writing, which is potentially | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
toxic. And all the time, the smoke build-up reduces visibility. Mining | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
experts say it can be avoided. With decent ventilation, measures to | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
control coal dust, which involves putting stone dust into the mine, | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
all very well known for decades now. And there is no reason other than | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
incompetence why coal mining should lead to this sort of death toll in | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
this day and age. Amid the trauma and the grief, the mining company is | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
adamant that it maintained high standards of safety. The | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
investigation is now being launched will put that to the test as the | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
full scale of the horror unfolds. David Shukman, BBC News. | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
James Reynolds is in Soma now. It is still a very confusing picture at | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
the mine. It is not clear how many people are trapped below ground and | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
whether they are alive or dead. We simply don't know that. All we can | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
do is watch what is going on on the hillside | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
do is watch what is going on on the rescue operation behind me. We see | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
several ambulances and occasional bursts of activity. Then for a long | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
time with the people sitting around on plastic chairs not doing very | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
much. Certainly no word has reached the families of any more survivors. | :07:15. | :07:33. | |
No word has reached them of anymore confirmed victims. Families simply | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
sit and wait. What is fascinating is this. In the last few minutes | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
wafting up the hill has been the sound of chanting, families | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
targeting against the Government, saying they should resign. This is a | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
test for the country's Prime Minister. He wants to stay in power | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
for many more years and how he acts right now could define that | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
ambition. Families certainly want him to do much more. What we have | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
learned about disasters in recent years is this. When everybody else | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
loses hope, it is the families that will continue to have hope until the | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
bodies come out. Thank you. Unemployment has fallen to its | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
lowest level for five years, down to 6.8%. And there's been more positive | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
economic news with the governor of the Bank of England saying gross | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
domestic product, the value of all the UK's goods and services, is now | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
close to pre-crisis levels. When it comes to interest rates though, Mark | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
Carney suggested they're likely to remain low for some time. Here's our | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
economics editor Robert Peston. Yes, Britain is getting back to | :08:21. | :08:33. | |
work. The economy jogging along again. And 375,000 of new jobs | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
created in the last three months, self-employment, like this busker in | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
Reading. Unemployment has fallen to its lowest level in five years to | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
2.2 million, a sharp fall of 130,000. As for numbers in work, | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
they are at an all-time record. What is a risk assessment? Here at the | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
college, the longer term unemployed of all ages are trying to acquire | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
the skills useful for today's economy, because there are more | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
vacancies in the UK than at any time for five years. There is no reason | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
why anybody should be unemployed. for five years. There is no reason | :09:11. | :09:20. | |
queueing up. Employers are telling us what they want and we are writing | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
a five-week course and getting ten or 15 people on the course and they | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
get employed if they have the right skills. HAP governor of the Bank of | :09:27. | :09:35. | |
England? Well, actually, he does not want us to get carried away with | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
optimism. -- a cheerful governor? It is like making it through the | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
qualifying rounds of the World Cup. It is a major achievement but not | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
the ultimate goal. The real tournament, the one in football is | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
about to begin, but for us it is just beginning in the economy. The | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
prize in the economy is strong, just beginning in the economy. The | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
sustainable and balanced growth. In South Wales, things do not | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
apparently feel that much better than they did. The Bank of England | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
since the economic recovery is really quite strong. Are you feeling | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
that recovery here? really quite strong. Are you feeling | :10:11. | :10:11. | |
If you look around here, a lot of people will reflect that. There are | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
so many empty shops. Are you feeling the recovery here? Yes, in my | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
personal life, yes. Do you think in the recovery here? Yes, in my | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
your life things feel better? Not that the moment in this area. | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
Because things are a that the moment in this area. | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
pleasant, the Bank of England says interest rates will have to start | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
rising again sometime. Tommy Cooper, we all know his great catchphrase, | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
just like that. But the Bank of England could have its way and | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
interest rates when they rise will not soar just like that. Any | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
increase would be slow and gradual. And when will that interest rate | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
rise be pulled out of the Bank of England's hat? Probably not for at | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
least a year. Robert Peston, BBC News. | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
There were dire predictions that the number of Romanian and Bulgarian is | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
working in the UK would rise dramatically once employment | :11:12. | :11:12. | |
restrictions were lifted back in January. In fact the number has | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
fallen since then by 4000, a reduction that the Prime Minister | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
described as notable. But there are still 29,000 more Romanians and | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
Bulgarians working here than this time last year. And overall the | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
number of people from across the EU working in the UK has increased, | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
prompting a fierce political row ahead of European elections a week | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
tomorrow. Here's our political editor Nick Robinson. Do you | :11:35. | :11:43. | |
remember the day when our borders opened to Romanians and Bulgarians? | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
The day when Victor, the first to arrive, was greeted by waiting | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
cameras and MPs? Do you remember the warnings that he would be the first | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
of tens of thousands perhaps more who would make Britain their home? | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
Well, guess what. They didn't. Not yet at least. The employment of | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
Romanian and Bulgarian actually went down in the first three months of | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
this year. There are many Romanian and Bulgarian people working here. | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
140,000, the and Bulgarian people working here. | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
say, like this man who runs a restaurant in Tottenham. But the | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
numbers actually fell by 4000 since the 1st of January. I am not | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
actually surprised. I knew it would happen like this. Who wanted to come | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
before? They are already here. happen like this. Who wanted to come | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
person who could be surprised if UKIP's Nigel Farage. He used to | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
issue stark warnings that we were opening our doors to 29 million | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
people. If I was a Bulgarian, I would be packing my bags now wanting | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
to come to Britain. There is a risk that the numbers that come over the | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
next few years could far exceed the 50,000 estimate. With control | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
Britain's borders at the centre of the European elections next week, | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
the big parties lined up to attack you get's warnings. There has been a | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
lot of scaremongering and people should be reassured that the lifting | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
of border controls did not result in a large influx of people. These | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
figures are very different to what some people predicted before | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
Christmas and it shows the importance of having a sensible | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
debate about this and not just shrill claims. Not surprisingly, the | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
UKIP leaders having none of it. Whether it comes from Romania, | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
whether it comes from the eurozone, regardless of where it comes from, | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
the figures coming into Europe are going up year on year are going up | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
at a staggering pace. With regards to Romanian and Bulgarian people, | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
were you wrong at all? No. What he is talking about is visible on the | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
roof of this building. There has been a big increase in the number of | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
other Europeans coming here, including Polish people. How long | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
have you on the other guys been here? Eight years. My friends seven | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
months. He has just come. So you needed to pick up the phone to | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
people from home to come over? If they are mates and they need the | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
work, I can get work for them. Ministers point out there are more | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
jobs for British people as well as other Europeans. They also have | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
Nigel Farage in their sights. He was wrong with his warnings. It is right | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
to be concerned but he was wrong. What I can say as a minister for | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
employment and what we have significantly done is ensured that | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
it is UK national is now getting the jobs. UKIP were right to say that | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
you simply cannot stop the flow of people coming from the rest of the | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
EU, which is up. And that is right, we can't. We are part of Europe. | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
Today's statistics certainly don't end the debate on immigration. They | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
just give it yet another polish. Nick Robinson, BBC News, South | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
London. Our top story this evening... | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
The death toll in the Turkish mine disaster rises - 250 dead and it's | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
thought 120 are still trapped. And still to come... How Chinese | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
tourists are spending more here than visitors from anywhere else in the | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
world. The capital's tech sector is | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
booming, but will these local children ever get to work in it? | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
Plus party time for Europe - ahead of the elections, we ask if London | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
Plus party time for Europe - ahead likes the idea of Europe more than | :15:24. | :15:32. | |
the rest of the country. Stephen Sutton, the teenage cancer | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
sufferer who raised more than ?3 million for charity, has died. | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
Stephen's high-profile campaign to raise funds caught the public | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
imagination and went viral on the internet. Today his mother said, "My | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
heart is bursting with pride but breaking with pain for my | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
courageous, selfless, inspirational son." Sian Lloyd reports. | :15:49. | :16:01. | |
Unfortunately some bad things do happen. My cancer is this. What I | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
always stress is how we react to it is what matters. This is Stephen | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
Sutton when he set out to make a difference and he did just that. I | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
want to spend as much positivity as possible, to show people what it's | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
like to have something go wrong with your life but not to be defined by | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
it. After being diagnosed with bowel cancer aged 15, he put together a | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
bucket list of things he wanted to do. Skydiving. And there was crowd | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
surfing and playing drums at Wembley, but top of the listless | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
fundraising for other teenagers with cancer. He began with a modest | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
ambition of raising ?10,000 but after he posted this picture and a | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
message on social media sites, his story resonated with people across | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
the. Incredibly, more than ?3 million has been raised and the | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
figure is still rising. He began fundraising while in school, where | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
he is remembered as being a remarkable pupil. We are obviously | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
feeling the impact and it's tough for everybody who knew him. But | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
there is no option other than to celebrate such an exceptional young | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
person. It's the right thing to do. Stephen's story attracted support | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
from celebrities and the Prime Minister, who met him recently. He | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
was determined not to waste a minute, an hour or a day and I | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
cannot think of anyone I have met who wanted to leave every minute. -- | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
to live. He was still fundraising and raising awareness for cancer in | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
the days before he died. His mother said her heart was bursting with | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
pride but baking with pain for her courageous, selfless, inspirational | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
son. Stephen Sutton who died today aged | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
19. A former News of the World royal | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
editor has admitted that he hacked the Duchess of Cambridge's phone a | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
155 times before she married Prince William. Clive Goodman told the jury | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
at the hacking trial that he also hacked the phones of Prince William | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
and Prince Harry on many occasions. Our home affairs correspondent, Tom | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
Symonds, is at the Old Bailey. This is the first time the scale of | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
the hacking of a phone has been made clear, isn't it? That is right. | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
Clive Goodman was back in court today after an illness. He is not | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
charged personally with phone hacking and won't be because he | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
admitted it in 2006. His editor, Andy Coulson, is, and so this | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
evidence was quite important. What Clive Goodman said is that he | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
accepted full record showed that he accessed Kate Middleton's phone 155 | :18:45. | :18:56. | |
times, William's phone 35 times and Harry's nine times. That happened in | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
the mid-2000s, when William and Kate were becoming close and Harry's | :19:00. | :19:01. | |
personal life was of interest to the tabloids. It included personal | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
messages between Kate and William. Clive Goodman accepted that the | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
records showed that he had accessed Kate Middleton's phone, for | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
example, on Christmas Eve, 2005, Christmas Day, 2005 and Boxing Day | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
of that year and he carried on accessing her phone messages in | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
August, 2006, when he was arrested. He denies the charges he faces | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
involving paying public overshot or confidential information. -- public | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
officials for confidential information. | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
The murder trial of Oscar Pistorius has been put on hold, after the | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
judge ruled that the athlete should undergo a month of mental health | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
checks. The prosecution made the request after a psychiatrist, called | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
by the defence, said Mr Pistorius suffered from an anxiety disorder. | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
He denies the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, saying | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
he shot her believing she was an intruder. | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
With just over a week to go until the European elections An | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
Independence From Europe party has launched its election campaign. Led | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
by former UKIP MEP Mike Natrass, the party's policies include a | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
commitment to leaving the European Union and developing closer links | :20:09. | :20:10. | |
with the Commonwealth. New figures demonstrate the growing | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
importance to the UK of tourism from China. The UK tourist authority | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
Visit Britain says 196 000 Chinese visited the UK last year. -- 100 | :20:18. | :20:27. | |
96,000. Together they spent nearly half a billion pounds and on average | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
they spent four times as much as a visitor from anywhere else in the | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
world. But could the UK be doing more to attract the Chinese in | :20:35. | :20:35. | |
greater numbers? Our China editor more to attract the Chinese in | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
Carrie Gracie has been in London and Paris to find out. | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
Great British institutions, great British weather. Exactly what | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
Chinese tourists have been told to expect. He has come 5000 miles for | :20:49. | :20:58. | |
this photo opportunity. Chinese outbound tourism is the | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
fastest-growing market in the world. They come to Europe. Our job is to | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
make sure that when they come to Europe they come to Britain. There | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
is no royal family in China and for the new middle class, foreign travel | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
is still a novelty. They are hungry to see everything they can see at | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
home. But before we start celebrating the number of Chinese | :21:18. | :21:25. | |
tourists in the UK, or how much they are spending, stop, think, glance - | :21:26. | :21:37. | |
Chinese tourists love France and the Alps. The number of Chinese tourists | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
in France is nearly ten times as many in the UK on the number is | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
growing faster. These big spenders love luxury goods and high taxes | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
back home make for a shopping frenzy in Europe. There are plenty more | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
where these visitors came from. 2012, we had 23.3% increase and we | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
expect the same type of increase for the next few years. On visa allows | :22:06. | :22:15. | |
entry to 26 European countries and many find it frustrating that the UK | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
insists on a separate visa. I can come to Europe and take the train | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
and go to London. Never came to be outdone by France, Britain is trying | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
to speed up visas. But the Chinese are still voting with their feet. | :22:32. | :22:32. | |
to speed up visas. But the Chinese The message - if you want to see us | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
on the other side of the channel, put out the welcome mat. | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
The Cannes film festival opens today with a gala premiere of one the | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
festival's more controversial films. Grace of Monaco, which looks at the | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
life of Grace Kelly has been slammed by the critics, and her family have | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
called it called a farce with no basis in reality. It stars Nicole | :22:51. | :23:00. | |
Kidman, who's been talking to our arts editor Will Gompertz in Cannes. | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
Nicole Kidman as Princess Grace of Monaco. The Australian actress plays | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
the late American actress shortly after she had left Hollywood's Hills | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
for monocle's majesty. We meet her when she is toying with the idea of | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
having a final fling with her first love - acting. I've never had the | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
chance to do a role where it's glamorous and vulnerable and a | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
roller-coaster of emotions. Did she find a role challenging? Yes, yes. | :23:35. | :23:43. | |
Physically and, you know, the dialect, every part of it I had to | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
study and research her. You swam ashore from the motor boat driven by | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
that little French girl. Do you want a leg or a breast? I don't know | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
about you, but I am more of a legman. I do not think there is any | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
part of this film that appears to the current Royal family of Monaco. | :24:07. | :24:14. | |
They have called it a farce and accused the producers of exploiting | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
their family name. When Prince Rainier is portrayed as a bully it | :24:22. | :24:29. | |
is fiction and real people are hurt by it. Nicole Kidman knows high it | :24:30. | :24:39. | |
feels to have your fiver Private lives speculated upon. So given that | :24:40. | :24:55. | |
it has cost controversy, would she have performed differently? No. What | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
matters is if it is any good. Judging by the critics' negative | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
response, it appears on that front, it fails. | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
Time for a look at the weather... Here's Tomasz Schafernaker. | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
A cracking day across England and where. Many of us are looking at the | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
weekend for barbecues and walks in the park. It is warming up over the | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
next few days and it could be the warmest weather of the season. This | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
has not been the case across Scotland and Northern Ireland today. | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
We have had a weather front so it has been more cloudy. The vast | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
majority of the country, across England and Wales, we have seen | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
scattered clouds and it has been a beautiful day and a beautiful and to | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
the day with just a few clouds here and there. To the south of the | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
country overnight, partly cloudy, to the north, overcast with spots of | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
rain, mist and hill fog. Last night in Scotland, there was frost. | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
Tonight, it is too cloudy. Into tomorrow, for England and Wales, it | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
is going to be a bit more cloudy. More cloudy during the day. Across | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland, the opposite is true. A brighter day. In | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
Belfast, temperatures up to as high as 90 degrees. As -- as high as 19 | :26:20. | :26:30. | |
degrees. Later in the week, more clout in the far north-west of the | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
country, but for most of us on Friday, a beautiful and to the | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
working week. The highs will be warming up to around 22, maybe 23 | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
Celsius across the south-east and the Midlands. Even on the North Sea | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
coast, as high as 20 degrees. At the weekend, split fortunes. If you are | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
in Edinburgh and Belfast, a bit of rain. For the south of country, | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
looking pretty promising. Enjoy the weather while it lasts. A reminder | :27:02. | :27:09. | |
of our main story... The death toll in the Turkish mine disaster has | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
risen, over 200 dead and 120 are still trapped. | :27:15. | :27:16. |
