Footage emerges which appears to show British and Australian Islamist | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
extremists urging Muslims to join them in the Middle East. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
In the video, claimed to be from ISIS, a man with a British | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
accent calls on Western Muslims to join them in Syria and Iraq. | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
I think we should recognise the dangers to Britain of this | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
situation where you've got Islamist extremists and terrorists now in | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
Tracking British jihadists fighting with extremist groups is now | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
the top priority for British security services. | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
Down and now definitely out - England are eliminated | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
from the World Cup Finals, their earliest exit since 1958. | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
This goal from Costa Rica ended England's dreams - they needed | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
A husband and wife are found guilty of killing her parents and | :00:49. | :00:57. | |
Caught on camera - three care home workers are sentenced | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
for verbally and physically abusing a 79-year-old woman with dementia. | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
And excelling at sport could be down to the school you go to. | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
Moves to remove all the governors at this primary school, | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
as Tower Hamlets says there's been "a catastrophic drop in standards". | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
And a noisy reaction over the criminalisation | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
Tracking British jihadists who are fighting with extremist groups is | :01:23. | :01:47. | |
now the top priority for the British security services. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
Footage has emerged online which appears to show British | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
and Australian fighters with ISIS urging Muslims to join them in Iraq | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
The Home Office says it's working with internet companies to try to | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
Here's our security correspondent Frank Gardner. | :02:04. | :02:15. | |
Banned in Britain but recruiting from this country. We have brothers | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
from Bangladesh, Iraq, Cambodia, Australia. This unverified video | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
footage appears to show British and Australian jihadists operating in | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
Syria with the same extremist group that is now taking over much of | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
Iraq. They will go there, too, they tell the camera, and on to Lebanon, | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
and even Spain, wherever their commander orders them. The Home | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
Office want the video taken off the internet. It has also been condemned | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
by Britain's largest collective of Muslim groups, the MCB. Nearly 500 | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
Britons are believed to have gone to fight in Syria, most joining | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
extremist groups, including this man, the crawly bomber, the first | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
Briton to blow himself up there. ISIS and its followers are making | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
extensive, often slick use of social media to broadcast their activities, | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
urging others to join them. The group has about 10,000 members of | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
which nearly 3000 of foreigners. When you look at social media, they | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
are pushing above their weight. They are on all the platforms, and | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
actively recruiting internet savvy people. ISIS members are fighting in | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
two countries, Syria and Iraq. But here, the government believes they | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
also pose a threat to Britain. We should recognise the dangers to | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
Britain of this situation where you have got Islamist extremists and | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
terrorists now in control of a part of this country. Whitehall officials | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
will not reveal exactly what the intelligence is that is prompting | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
the government to say that ISIS is planning to attack the UK, but we | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
have learned that MI5 are now having to devote the greatest amount of | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
their casework to tracking jihadists leaving Britain for Syria and some | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
coming back from there. Over in Iraq, ISIS is well on the way to | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
building an extremist mini-state, thanks in part to its foreign | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
recruits. We believe there are a lot of foreigners among these people, | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
Europeans. We have seen numbers of Europeans inside Syria, fighting | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
side-by-side with ISIS. We believe some of these people have come into | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
Iraq. The more comfortable they feel here, the more of a success story | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
they show here, soon they will think about Europe. For now, the focus of | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
ISIS is on the Middle East, but the more that the Westgate Straughan | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
into this conflict, the more Britain is likely to become a target. | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
The fighting continues but there's also growing sense | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
It is the Iraqi security forces who are claiming they have made gains in | :04:54. | :05:08. | |
the past 24 hours, saying they control a massive oil refinery. To | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
the west, towards the border with Syria, there have been fresh | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
clashes. There is fierce fighting further north at the airport in Tal | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
Afar, a town that ISIS have already taken control of. The security | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
situation is fluid but you can also feel the sand is shifting | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
politically. Today we have another intervention by the leading Shia | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
cleric, urging rapid political progress, seen as a criticism of Mr | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
Malachy. Tomorrow there will be a mass rally by supporters of another | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
Shia cleric, who used to lead the Mahdi Army. Another critic of Mr | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
Al-Maliki. And we are expecting the arrival soon of John Kerry, and the | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
US has made its criticisms of Mr Al-Maliki very clear. So you can | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
feel the political pressure growing on him. | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
England are out of the World Cup after Italy failed to beat Costa | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
It's England's earliest exit from the World Cup Finals since 1958. | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
Despite losing their first two games, the FA has said manager | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
It no longer comes as a surprise. England's latest night of | :06:12. | :06:25. | |
desperation and despair on the game's greatest stage. The national | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
team, once again humbled, this time by a familiar foe. Arriving back at | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
their base overnight, the players were left to reflect on where it | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
went wrong. Earlier, when Wayne Rooney had equalised with his first | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
World Cup goal, England had hoped, but it was wiped out by Luis Suarez. | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
The Liverpool striker's second of the night condemned England to | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
another defeat. For the millions of fans watching, like these in Rio, | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
more heartache. It just does not happen. Our expectations have gone | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
in two games. It is sad. We are not good enough. That familiar feeling | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
of disappointment. We are here again. Some questioned the future of | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
manager Roy Hodgson, but the FA are backing their man. We are supportive | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
of Roy. He came to do a four year cycle and people have been asking if | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
he will stay. The answer is yes. At their beach-side Rio Hotel, England | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
know that this, historically, is as bad as it gets, the first time they | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
have ever lost their opening two World Cup matches. The inquest will | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
begin. One former England captain told me there is no need to panic. I | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
think we have two just keep embracing our young players. We have | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
a good crop of players coming through. We have not had the results | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
we would have liked, but we have to keep trying to build towards the | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
future. We have a good bunch and we have to support and give them a | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
platform to work from and to be able to bring the best out of them. In | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
the last few minutes, England were put out of their misery, Italy | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
failing to get the victory against Costa Rica that would have kept | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
faint hopes alive. There is to be no great escape. Another period of | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
soul-searching is underway. Everyone praying for an Italy | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
victory for the England team but they did not get it. What a disaster | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
for England. It is worth noting that they came into this tournament with | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
historically low expectations show it should not perhaps, is a huge | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
shock. Nonetheless, this is arguably their worst ever World Cup | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
performance. The first time since 1958 that the team has failed to | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
reach the second stage. Although is months and years of preparation over | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
before they have barely begun. Some tonight will count Roy Hodgson as | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
extremely fortunate to be staying in his job. The fact that he should be | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
held accountable for this failure, the fact that perhaps there are | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
better or turn the tips, he could have brought more experienced | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
players, defensively they seem to be going backwards. But some will say | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
his hands were tied. He does not have the choice of player when it | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
comes to English talent. There will be the age-old issues of how many | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
foreigners there are in the Premier League, the standard of grassroots | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
coaching and facilities. Some will say there are signs of progress, | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
that in the first defeat against Italy, the likes of sterling and | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
Ross Barkley at least gives Hodgson and England hope for the future. | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
Whatever way you see Roy Hodgson, at a time when other national teams in | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
other sports have enjoyed periods of success, football continues to fail. | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
The names and tournaments come and go but it is the same old story. | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
Mental health services for young people have been cut | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
by many councils in England, over the last five years, according | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
In the worst case, one council made cuts that amounted | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
It comes despite Government assurances that physical | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
and mental health issues should have equal priority. | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
Jeremy Cooke has been speaking to a teenager with bipolar disorder. | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
For that moment, it's just so much better. | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
Annie Hart is having a good day, but she, like so many young people, | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
carries the burden of mental illness. | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
Teenage depression led to the mood swings of bipolar disorder | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
On a bad day, you wake up in the morning and you have this | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
If you step out of bed, you will fall into a black hole. | :10:41. | :10:52. | |
But professional medical treatment is helping. | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
But her dad will tell you that specialist treatment | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
Today's report says cuts to mental health budgets are devastating. | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
Annie has had months of thinking about it and not knowing | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
In the end, this family paid for the treatment Annie so badly needed. | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
Now she wants others to have access to what can be | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
It is a deadly illness, because some people take their lives | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
And that's not them taking their lives. | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
That's the illness taking their lives. | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
The problem, of course, is money, but research shows that early | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
treatment for mental illness pays off. | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
Young patients recover, and so don't require ongoing | :11:44. | :11:45. | |
Because young people can't get help early on, they are becoming more | :11:46. | :11:55. | |
and more severely ill before they are able to access services. | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
So the funding is being spent on crisis intervention | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
And because they are not there, then we have overspent by millions. | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
Annie keeps her mind busy to help her own recovery. | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
But the problem is growing, and with mental illness comes the | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
Entry-level care is paid for mainly by local authorities or through GPs. | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
But some councils now complain that they have been forced to cut mental | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
health provision for young people because | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
The government insists services must be provided. | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
The government has legislated for it. | :12:38. | :12:38. | |
We have to now get every area of the country to do what is clearly | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
the right thing to do, and there is no justification | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
for disadvantaging mental health as against physical health. | :12:46. | :12:54. | |
The stakes here are high, but the good news is that with | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
proper treatment for mental illness, there is a good chance of recovery. | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
And I'm hoping the rest of my life will not be destroyed by it. | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
That can only happen if I get the help I need. | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
A Conservative MP has said he could never appear | :13:12. | :13:20. | |
on a programme with the journalist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown because he | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
The MP, Michael Fabricant, who made the comment on Twitter | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
after watching Ms Alibhai-Brown take part in a discussion on TV, | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
But she refused to accept his apology. | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
Shares in Britain's newest bank, TSB, rose by more than 10% today | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
on their first day of trading on the London stock market. | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
TSB has 631 branches across the UK and more than 4 million customers. | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
Lloyds was forced to sell the bank by | :13:47. | :13:48. | |
A woman and her husband have been found guilty | :13:49. | :13:57. | |
of murdering her parents and burying them in the garden | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
Susan and Christopher Edwards stole her parents' money to pay off debts. | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
They covered up the crime for 15 years, telling neighbours her | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
They even sent Christmas cards on their behalf. | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
Christmas greetings from the Wycherley 's. But by the | :14:12. | :14:21. | |
Christmas greetings from the Wycherley 's. But time this card was | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
sent, William Wycherley and his wife, Patricia, had been lying dead | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
in their back garden for 13 years. The Christmas cards were just part | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
of the pretence created by their own daughter and son-in-law. Susan | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
Edwards and her husband, Christopher Edwards, also installed timers to | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
turn on the lights, so the house looked occupied. And they often | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
travelled from London, just attend to the garden. Neighbours were told | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
that the Wycherley 's work away travelling. One of the neighbours | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
saw Christopher Edwards digging a large hole here and thought nothing | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
of it. But hours later, under the cover of darkness, the couple came | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
out and buried Mr and Mrs Wycherley, turning that hole into a makeshift | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
grave. When Christopher and Susan gave evidence, they talked about the | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
moving of bodies as if they were talking about household items, | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
furniture. They were so matter of fact about it. How could a couple | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
vanish and no one notice? Brett Wilson used to live next door, and | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
he says they were reclusive and he never saw any relatives, and | :15:28. | :15:29. | |
neighbours knew very little about them. If you were in the back | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
garden, you would not always. But after that, nothing whatsoever. -- | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
you would not to them, or wave. Neighbours would come out, the | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
Wycherley 's would go in. Over the years, they drained the bank account | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
of savings, pensions and benefits, stealing nearly ?300,000, spending | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
money on celebrity memorabilia from stars such as Frank Sinatra. Susan | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
Edwards also claimed she and the French don't start were penned | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
Powell 's. It was another live. When they ran out of money, Christopher | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
Edwards confessed to his stepmother and she'd tipped off the police. The | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
15 years, the Edwards told elaborate stories. This story, the jury did | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
not believe. They will be sentenced on Monday. Our top story this | :16:20. | :16:27. | |
evening: Footage has emerged appearing to show British Islamist | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
extremists urging Muslims to join them in the Middle East. And after | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
her World Tour, why the Girl with a Pearl Earring is finally settling | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
down. Later on BBC London: ?10 million to | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
repair potholes on London's roads, but critics say it's just not | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
enough. And Ronnie Scots, a celebrity bash | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
celebrating 20 years on air for the radio show. | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
Now, what do all these medal-winning Olympians have in common? Well, they | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
were all privately educated. Now the Chief Inspector of Schools in | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
England has called on state schools to put more effort into competitive | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
sport and says it shouldn't be treated as an optional extra. Our | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
education correspondent, Gillian Hargreaves, reports. | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
The girls at St Mary's college are formidable on the playing field. | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
This isn't just a bit of light relief from exams, though. Everybody | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
at this state-funded Catholic school plays competitive sport. They say it | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
develops character and improves their academic study. I'm real | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
competitive, so I like that side of it. It's good to work as a team as | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
well and get some of your energy out. I love exercise. Sport keeps | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
you driven. You have to strive towards a goal in sport. It's the | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
same in maths or trying to complete a home work task. Sports teaches you | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
good principles. Liam and William are national junior champions. But | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
with a third of all our top sportsmen and women privately | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
educated, school inspectors say other state schools need more | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
commitment and must harness the expertise of local sports clubs. The | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
statistics are stark. 93% of children go to state schools. 7% of | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
children go to the independent sector. Yet a third of our children | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
who excel in the top sport come from the independent sector. That's | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
ridiculous. If you strip away football, it goes up to a half. | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
Really you need to equalise things. Some people might argue that state | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
schools aren't playing on a level field. This is opportune bridge | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
school in Kent. They've produced 25 of our best cricketers and ten rugby | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
internationals. As you can see, the facilities aren't just good, they're | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
outstanding. The Australian Olympic team practised here in 2012. At | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
opportune bridge, it's acknowledged talent alone isn't enough. We do | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
have the most wonderful facilities, even in comparison with other | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
independent schools. We are very fortunate. It is not, in many ways, | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
a level playing field. It's more complicated than just about | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
attitudes. It is about resources as well. But Ofsted believes with | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
strong will and determination, the next Ashes winners could all come | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
from state schools. A care worker, who was secretly | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
filmed ill-treating a woman with dementia at a care home near | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
Bristol, has been jailed for four months. Two other men - who worked | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
at the Granary Care Home - were given suspended sentences and | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
community service. The men pleaded guilty, after the 79-year-old's son | :19:43. | :19:44. | |
hid a camera in his mother's room. Gladys Wright-Phillips was -- Gladys | :19:45. | :20:00. | |
Wright was 79 and suffered from Alzheimer's. But this was how she | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
was treated at the Granary Care Home near Bristol. (BLEEP). In pictures, | :20:08. | :20:20. | |
filmed secretly by her son, staff repeatedly abused her. | :20:21. | :20:32. | |
Today, three of them were sentenced for ill treatment and neglect. She's | :20:33. | :20:43. | |
a lovely woman. Glat I' son Jim said what he saw happened to his mother | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
broke his heart. I was disgusted. Nobody should have to go through it. | :20:47. | :20:54. | |
Anybody forced -- certainly not someone who is fragile and unable to | :20:55. | :21:02. | |
report the abuse. It's disgusting. The abuse continued for months. | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
Here, Baines limb pers up for this, a nasty pinch or punch. The health | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
care who run the Granary say the three convicted men are not typical | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
of their staff. The family say now it's time for all care homes in | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
Britain to install cameras to protect their residents. This is the | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
latest in a long line of cases exposing abuse, with campaigners | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
saying standards are still not good enough. We cannot protect our old | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
people. Everybody knows it. Nobody's doing anything about it. We are | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
pretending we have safety and security and the reality is we do As | :21:43. | :21:51. | |
B not. Aines was led away tonight, Gladys' family say the last few | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
months of her life were filled with indignity, in the place she was | :21:56. | :21:56. | |
supposed to be cared for. They're some of the finest paintings | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
in the world created, and, for the last two years, they've been touring | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
the globe, drawing record crowds in Japan, Italy and the United States. | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
Now they've returned home to a newly-renovated museum in the Hague. | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
The museum's star attraction is the Girl with a Pearl Earring - | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
Vermeer's masterpiece that became a literary sensation. It also houses | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
The Goldfinch, another painting that's found fame through a | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
best-selling book. Our Arts Editor, Will Gompertz, travelled to The | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
Hague to take a look. The magnificent Moritz House, home | :22:25. | :22:36. | |
to some of the greatest paintings on the planet, including Girl with a | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
Pearl Earring, she's back after a two-year World Tour, where she was | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
fated like a rock star and fawned upon like royalty. Painted by | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
Vermeer in 1665, she owes her raid yans to his liberal use to the rare | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
ultramarine pigment. Her international stardom is, in part, | :22:55. | :22:56. | |
down to something a little more common - a movie. Look at me. The | :22:57. | :23:07. | |
film starring Colin Firth was based on the best-selling book. I think | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
it's a beautiful painting. The light, the colour, but beyond that, | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
there is a depth of emotion there, that's right up front and yet, it's | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
an emotion that we don't really understand and we can look at the | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
painting again and again and never really connect with her completely, | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
even though we want to. There's another painting in this | :23:31. | :23:32. | |
extraordinary collection that owes some of its celebrity to the | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
imagination of a modern-day author, The GoldFinch, painted in 1654, but | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
turned into something of an international icon by this 2013 | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. The book is good, the painting is | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
remarkable. It's a finely honed, three dimensional illusion seen from | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
afar. A painted panel of seemingly improvised brush strokes when viewed | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
close up. It went out on tour as well. It was part of a travelling | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
exhibition of the museum's exhibits that had people queueing around the | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
block wherever it went. Before we closed, we had about 250,000 | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
visitors a year, roughly. We sent a small group of paintings on tour and | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
in two years, we received more than 2. 2 million visitors. We're | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
expecting really huge increase here, after we re-open. Which it does next | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
week. All those expected visitors will be welcomed by some familiar | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
faces, like Rembrandts, and those doctors he painted and old laughing | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
boy here. The modernisation of this fine 17th century building comes | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
shortly after the re-opening of Amsterdam's three great public art | :24:51. | :24:52. | |
galleries, which means the Netherlands is right back in the | :24:53. | :24:59. | |
game as a cultural destination. Time for a look at the weekend | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
weather now with Darren. Lots of lovely weather ahead, I think. | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
The weather was a picture today. And more of the same this weekend today. | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
It look like the northern half of Scotland will see more cloud and | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
maybe a spot or two of rain. Apart from that, it's a dry weekend. We | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
should see a lot of sunshine as well. With light winds it feels | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
warm. High pressure is blocking off any changes for the time being. | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
Around that, we saw temperatures of 24 degrees today. We see those | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
temperatures this weekend. Lovely sunshine to end the day for most of | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
us. Overnight dry, clear spells. Still more cloud across northern | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
Scotland, one or two drizzly showers as well. Typical temperatures | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
overnight in towns and cities around 12 or 13. The down side of all this | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
fine weather, the high pollen count. That's across Scotland. But very | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
high pollen levels across England and Wales. It could be another | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
sneezy day for many of us tomorrow. The best place to be are coastal | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
districts, where there's a fresher feel here. Patchy, fair weather | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
cloud inland. It should be a dry day for just about everywhere. The far | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
north of Scotland seeing more cloud, a bit of dampness as well. Central, | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
southern Scotland, sun out, temperatures 20 degrees and | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
pleasant. Similar temperatures across Northern Ireland, with | :26:13. | :26:14. | |
sunshine at times. Across England and Wales, sunny spells. Lots of | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
sunshine around the coasts with sea breezes. Temperatures a little lower | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
here. Inland 23 degrees, should be fine for the tennis, the cricket at | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
Headingley and also for the last day of Royal Ascot. All this continues | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
into Sunday as well. It's almost a repeat performance. Sunny spells, | :26:33. | :26:34. | |
similar temperatures. Maybe a bit more cloud and patchy rain for the | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
north of Scotland. Maybe one or two showers wandering into the channel. | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
The weather changes next week. Wimbledon is starting. It turns | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
cooler and the chance of one or two showers for the first couple of | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
days. The weather slowly going downhill. Make the most of this | :26:52. | :26:52. | |
weekend. | :26:53. | :26:57. |
