The Church of England overturns centuries of tradition by voting | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
overcomes deep divisions and resistance from traditionalists. | :00:11. | :00:59. | |
We'll be looking at how the vote may affect the Anglican | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
church and how soon soon the first female bishop could be ordained. | :01:03. | :01:05. | |

Centuries of tradition have been overturned with a vote by the Church | :01:26. | :01:47. | |
of England to allow women bishops. It's been an issue that's deeply | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
divided the church for decades. Just two years ago, a similar vote | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
failed by the narrowest of margins. Today both the Archbishop of | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
Canterbury and the prime minister It's 20 years since the | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
Church of England first ordained One in five within the | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
Church of Englandare now women. 20 years since the first women | :02:07. | :02:37. | |
priests, the established church has finally agreed that women can also | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
be bishops. I think that campaigning for winning in the church, not just | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
to be ordained but to be respected and valued, and this is such a | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
wonderful thing that has happened. The crucial vote when it came was | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
overwhelmingly in favour, no repeat of a shock the motion has been | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
carried in all three houses. The watchword today, Unity, the Church | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
of England searching for a way to reconcile traditional religious | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
beliefs and contemporary liberal values, firmly held but incompatible | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
views. This woman from Canterbury is among those who feared sin was | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
rejecting the word of the Bible. Have we said that the Bible does not | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
matter any more and it is the world that we follow? Many others thought | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
that the church was broad enough to embrace different viewpoints. The | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
church now needs the different and special works of women, not because | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
of justice but because of our needs as Christians and the churches need. | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
The yes vote is a triumph for the deal-making skills of strategic | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
thinking of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby is a former | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
oil industry executive. A compromise was found with the help of | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
professional mediators and conflict management experts, opponents will | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
be able to request a male bishop, with an ombudsman to arbitrate any | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
disputes. The first female bishop could be named by the end of the | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
year, and consecrated in early 2015. It may seem perfectly unremarkable | :04:12. | :04:24. | |
nowadays but the idea of a woman Church of England vicar was hugely | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
controversial just 20 years ago, the Vicar of Diddley, memorably making | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
the point. Ladies and gentlemen, your new vicar. Hello! It was a | :04:32. | :04:42. | |
change agreed in 1992 by just one vote, the first women were ordained | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
in 1994, it was more than a decade before sin not paved the way for a | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
vote on women bishops, and in 2012, the ruling body voted down a | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
proposal, supporters missing out by six votes. Then Archbishop of | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
Canterbury Rowan Williams said a measure of credibility was lost that | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
day, is famous picture shows the anguish of one supporter, she was | :05:05. | :05:14. | |
all smiles this afternoon. Tonally, it was difficult, I was angry, it | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
was angry and hard to experience... The tone this time around was much | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
more welcoming. One church, one faith, one law, this was an historic | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
vote to keep the church together, recognising beliefs both ancient and | :05:32. | :05:32. | |
modern. Given that most people do not | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
regularly attend the church any longer, why is this vote important | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
today? Because it is the established church, the Queen is the head of the | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
Church of England, and I think it is a part of our national life, setting | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
the rhythm of the year. A lot of people will go to weddings and | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
christenings and funerals in church, although they may not go regularly. | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
This tells us something about our national values, not only in terms | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
of gender inequality, the vote today, I think the vote today tells | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
us something else, about the importance we put on being able to | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
respect those who have different views to our own. | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
After days of speculation about whether she was the right woman for | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
the job, the former High Court judge appointed to lead a government | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
enquiry into historic child abuse has stepped down. Baroness Butler | :06:30. | :06:39. | |
Sloss had come under pressure because her late brother was | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
Attorney General in the 1980s. She said she had not sufficiently | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
considered whether her background would cause difficulties with the | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
enquiry. She seemed the best person for the job, former judge, expert in | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
child abuse, a safe pair of hands, after less than one week in post, | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
Lady Butler Sloss is no longer leading the enquiry into how public | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
bodies handled paedophile allegations. Home Secretary who had | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
appointed her was summoned to tell MPs why she had not realised that | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
Lady Butler Sloss had a conflict of interests, a brother who had handled | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
abuse allegations as a Tory minister in the 1980s. I reject entirely any | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
suggestion she was not the right person to do the job. I'm | :07:21. | :07:29. | |
disappointed, I continue to consider her to be of impeccable integrity. | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
It was said that it was not her integrity that was up the debate, | :07:38. | :07:46. | |
but the decision-making of Theresa May. How can the public have any | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
confidence in this process? Do you regret making the appointment? I do | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
not, I continue to believe that she would have done an excellent job. In | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
her resignation -- in her resignation statement, she | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
said: That brother, Michael Havers, now | :08:08. | :08:21. | |
dead, took decision over which paedophiles were prosecuted and | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
reportedly warned a Tory MP about making allegations in the Commons. | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
Others said that Lady Butler Sloss was too much of an establishment | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
figure, a member of the Lord's investigating the Lord's, although | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
she had won praise for her enquiry into child abuse in Cleveland in the | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
1980s, one of abuse claims that in a separate enquiry, she had chosen to | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
keep allegations against an Anglican bishop Private. I felt she was too | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
much part of the establishment, I felt that she was too ready to | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
accept the evidence given to her by the bishops and by the police | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
without question. And less ready to accept at face value the evidence | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
given by the survivors. Tonight, she left her office discreetly, the | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
lawyer for abuse victim said she had made the right decision. The | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
survivors of abuse I represent have been met down at all times. The way | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
that this enquiry has been handled will not have filled them with | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
confidence but hopefully, going forward, they will see | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
confidence but hopefully, going are concerns have been listened to. | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
The task the Home Office now, finding a new chair for its abuse | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
enquiry, not a member of the establishment but with enough | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
credibility to satisfy MPs and victims. They are open to | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
The prime ministers in paragon may be. | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
The prime ministers in Commons tonight beginning his | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
reshuffle of his ministers. David Cameron is billed to be seeing | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
ministers who are leaving the government. Political editor Nick | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
Robinson is in the Houses of Parliament. What more can you tell | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
us? Process began at Downing Street early in the afternoon, the headline | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
names to be leaving the government. Dennis Clark went into Downing | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
Street for a meeting to confirm what both men already knew, news leaving | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
-- he's leaving the government, is more than 74 years old, news one of | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
the longest serving ministers in the post-war period, he has said that he | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
is sick of looking at the ministerial red boxes that contain | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
documents that you have got to sign, he spent three days at his | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
beloved Trent Bridge and the cricket in preparation for his ministerial | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
retirement. Those who think they have seen the back of him, beware, | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
he is staying here in the House of Commons as they re-elect him, and he | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
may well be on the opposite side of the argument to David Cameron on | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
Europe, if and when a referendum comes about. The only other name we | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
have that is leaving the government: David Jones, Secretary of State for | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
Wales. He leaves the government. As the evening goes on, we will hear | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
the names of people, the party, the names and faces of those that the | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
Conservative part of this coalition wants to put on television, in the | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
front line, for the general election that we will see. -- in the front | :11:14. | :11:20. | |

17,000 Palestinians from northern Gaza have taken shelter in schools | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
according to the United Nations after Israel said it would start | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
targeting the area with air strikes. It follows a week of attacks from | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
Israel and the Palestine militant group and mass which have left over | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
170 Palestinians dead. So far there have not been any Israeli | :11:45. | :11:45. | |
fatalities. -- hammer. -- Hamas CCTV in the street last | :11:46. | :12:02. | |
Saturday showed a group of men chatting on the front step. One of | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
them, and two others, without realising, were also under Israeli | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
surveillance. realising, were also under Israeli | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
killed them with a missile, the camera cut out. | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
When we arrived there not long after, the family and neighbours | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
were shocked and angered. The Israeli military announced it had | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
killed three hammer as fighters, including a nephew of the former | :12:32. | :12:32. | |
hammer spry minister. Those men were in the wrong place at | :12:33. | :13:13. | |
the wrong time, killed alongside the Israeli targets. A Palestinian human | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
rights campaigner says that Israel's strategy of hitting the | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
homes of wanted men guarantee that innocent people would die as well. | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
They know that they have committed crimes against humanity, and they | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
intend to destroy houses where civilians were living in it, that is | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
totally illegal. It is in crunch retention of the Geneva Convention. | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
The Israeli bombardment went on this moment. -- morning stop | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
-- it is contravention of the Geneva Convention. If Palestinians died, | :13:50. | :14:00. | |
Israel say that it is the full of Hamas. -- full. We are dealing with | :14:01. | :14:09. | |
dogs, Hamas is using its own people to hide weapons and missile | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
launchers, and shoot Israeli citizens. -- fault. -- we are | :14:13. | :14:27. | |
dealing with thugs. Israel calls them terrorists. Until the | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
cease-fire comes, it looks as though there will be many more civilian | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
funerals as well. You can get more information and a | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
question and answer session on the Middle East crisis on the website. | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
Ministers say that patients from outside of the European Union are to | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
be charged up to 150% of the cost of any NHS treatment they receive as | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
part of a crackdown on so-called health tourism. The Department of | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
Health is asking the NHS to identify non-EU patients so that costs can be | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
recovered. The government has not yet explained the details of how the | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
scheme would work in practice. More than ?1 billion is going to be | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
invested in high-tech defence equipment to tackle global | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
terrorism. The Prime Minister who made the announcement at the | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
Farnborough air said the money will pay for drones, UK special forces | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
and intelligence gathering. Critics point out that the money is not new | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
but had been carried over from the 2012 budget underspend of the MoD. | :15:29. | :15:30. | |
Wrecked Italian The wrecked Italian cruise ship | :15:31. | :15:39. | |
Costa Concordia is slowly being refloated, | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
in one of the biggest maritime salvage operations in history. | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
The cruise liner ran aground and capsized off the Italian island | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
of Giglio more than two years ago with the loss of 32 lives. | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
Salvage experts hope they'll be able to tow it away to Genoa where | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
it will be scrapped by next week. Matthew Price reports. | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
Looking out from the ferry to Giglio you cannot miss the Costa Concordia. | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
It is no longer a place of dreams. But a twisted rusting wreck. | :16:02. | :16:13. | |
The salvage engineers still did not know for sure that their audacious | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
refloating operation would work. Today we find out | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
if the calculations were fine or how accurate they were based | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
on the assumptions. The weather is good. | :16:22. | :16:29. | |
For two and a half years this cruise ship has lain forlorn. | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
Its bars and cafes saturated. Lifeless. | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
With much of the ship only accessible to divers. | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
No longer. In September they pulled it upright. | :16:48. | :16:58. | |
Today they pumped air into giant flotation tanks welded on the sides. | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
Inch by inch the Costa Concordia rose. | :17:04. | :17:04. | |
By early afternoon the grubby water line stood out. | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
Two and a half years after the Costa Concordia sank it is now | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
floating once again. This is the biggest maritime salvage | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
operation ever conducted and it is no success story. | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
On-board, 32 people died including a five-year-old girl. | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
It was winter when the ship capsized. | :17:17. | :17:17. | |
Passengers scrambled for safety after it hit rocks. | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
Most of the 4000 on board made it off alive. | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
The captain is on trial for manslaughter. | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
This ship is about to embark on its final journey. | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
Taking with it hundreds of salvage workers who have made this island | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
home for the last two years. The Costa Concordia put Giglio | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
on the map, but few here would be sad to see it go. | :17:44. | :17:53. | |

In April, nearly 300 schoolgirls were abducted | :18:34. | :18:35. | |
by Islamist militants in Nigeria, sparking international outrage. | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
Today the Pakistani schoolgirl and campaigner Malala Yousafzai, | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
who was shot and left for dead by the Taliban | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
in her home country two years ago, has been meeting some of their | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
parents and pledging her support for the campaign to free the girls. | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
223 girls remain missing in northern Nigeria. | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
53 managed to escape from their captors, | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
the extremist group Boko Haram. It is demanding its fighters be | :19:02. | :19:03. | |
released from Nigerian jails in return for the remaining girls. | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
This report from Nigeria, by our world affairs editor, John Simpson, | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
contains some flash photography. They were an unlikely match. | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
She a third of his age, physically tiny, he in the hat | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
which is his political trademark. President Jonathan clearly hadn't | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
expected that Malala would be so tough and focused. | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
He promised to do his best to get the missing girls | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
back and to meet their parents, something he has not yet done. | :19:30. | :19:38. | |
This whole business has been a profound embarrassment for President | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
Jonathan, which is why journalists like me weren't allowed into the | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
meeting in case we might have called out questions to him about why there | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
doesn't seem to have been any progress on getting the girls free. | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
Afterwards I pointed out to Malala the President had promised to meet | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
the parents and to free the girls before. | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
It has not happened so far. Do you think this is | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
going to be different? He said that the promise I make | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
is to make sure that these girls are released as soon as possible. | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
Before this, she met several of the parents herself. | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
They are unsophisticated, poor country people but her own suffering | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
is a powerful link between them, as her father found as he spoke. | :20:18. | :20:33. | |
She was attacked. His emotion brought to mind | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
their own experiences. The parents believe the government | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
simply does not care about them. Suppose our daughters were | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
the children of someone important, this man asks, | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
would they still be prisoners in the forest after 90 days? | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
The government insists it is working hard to free the girls. | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
Malala says much more needs doing. The president should take it | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
serious, should think about his own daughters and this country has | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
called the president their father and the father has a responsibility | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
to take care of his children and these girls are future generations. | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
When you ignore these girls you're not thinking about the future | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
of this country. Even simple things | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
have not been done. Malala met five girls were kidnapped | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
with the others but managed to escape. | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
I asked them afterwards if they had been interviewed by the | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
authorities for any information they could give about their captors. | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
They have not had any debriefing by the military. | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
The depressing fact is that in three long months | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
The depressing fact is that in three who are free now are the ones who | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
managed to get away themselves. The South African novelist and | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
Nobel Laureate Nadine Gordimer has died at the age of 90. | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
She became one of the most powerful voices against | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
apartheid through her 15 novels as well as several volumes of short | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
stories and works of non-fiction. She was a long standing friend | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
of Nelson Mandela. Today the ANC said South Africa had | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
lost an unmatched literary giant. The World Cup might not | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
have been kind to England. But for one English team there is | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
a reason to celebrate. Manchester United have secured | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
a record breaking ?750 million deal over ten years with the German | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
sportswear company Adidas for shirts and other kit. | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
At ?75 million a year, that dwarfs what was | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
until now the biggest club deal for Real Madrid, which amounted to ?31 | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
million a year, again with Adidas. Live now to our | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
Sports Correspondent, Andy Swiss, who's at Old Trafford. | :22:49. | :22:56. | |
The World Cup showed that England were not world beaters there, but | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
world beaters when it comes to making money. These numbers makes | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
for remarkable reading. ?750 million over ten years. A new world record | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
deal. More than three times the value of Manchester United was my | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
current deal. ?750 million is very nearly what the Glazer family paid | :23:22. | :23:29. | |
to buy Manchester United and here they are getting that for wearing a | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
particular brand of kit. Last year by United's standards was poor, | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
failing to qualify for the Champions League and sacking the manager. This | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
deal shows that for all of their problems on the pitch, offered they | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
are one of the world's biggest brands and Adidas believe they will | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
make millions by selling the shirts. who's at Old Trafford. | :23:57. | :24:05. | |
In just nine days, the eyes of the Commonwealth will be | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
on Glasgow as the 20th staging of the Games begins. | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
Among the athletes to watch, we've picked four from around | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
the United Kingdom with some of the best chances of getting a medal. | :24:15. | :24:16. | |
Tonight we start with England's great hope, the heptathlete | :24:17. | :24:18. | |
Katarina Johnson-Thompson. Our reporter went along to Liverpool | :24:19. | :24:20. | |
to meet her. Full of talent, full of ability, | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
full of confidence as well, she has a lovely character and I think she | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
is made for this sort of arena. For many athletes London 2012 was | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
the pinnacle of their careers. For Katarina Johnson-Thompson | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
it was just the beginning. Life is now a little more normal | :24:38. | :24:39. | |
for the Liverpudlian, who spends her time away from the | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
track with her sausage dog Chorizo. She still looks back | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
on her senior international debut with a sense of pride. | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
I do not think I realised how big it was back then. | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
It was an incredible experience and from that point I was happy to | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
be there. Very fortunate that I do the | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
heptathlon and I had seven chances to go out there and experience that. | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
It was very addictive. The rise from prospect to medal | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
contender has been rapid. She will arrive in Glasgow as this | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
year's number one heptathlete and her talent has led to comparisons | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
with Jessica Ennis-Hill. The Olympic champion is pregnant | :25:17. | :25:18. | |
and will miss the Games, leaving Johnson-Thompson to take | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
top billing. Jess had the most pressure | :25:26. | :25:27. | |
of any athlete. She was the poster girl | :25:28. | :25:29. | |
of the Olympics. I do not feel pressure | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
on the same scale as her in a way but I am my own athlete. | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
I want to achieve my dreams, which happen to be the same dreams | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
that Jess has already done. To take that title under | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
my wing is all right as long as I can get an Olympic gold. | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
Like Ennis-Hill the 21-year-old has refused the chance to relocate | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
to a high-performance centre. Instead choosing to stay and train | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
where she grew up in Wavertree. This is home for me. | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
My house is 15 minutes away. I have been here | :25:59. | :26:00. | |
since I was a little kid. It has worked for me. | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
I have got the results I need here. I think you have to stick | :26:05. | :26:06. | |
with what works for you. This combination of things work | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
for me. It is 10 years since she was brought | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
to the track by her mother. So far she has taken everything | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
in her stride. And leaves | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
the worrying to her family. She looks fairly calm and relaxed | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
whereas I get very nervous for her. I take all the nerves and she is | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
nice and calm and relaxed, but also very dedicated and hard-working and | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
very competitive in competition. What is the dream for Glasgow? | :26:32. | :26:33. | |
The dream for Glasgow would be to achieve | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
my dreams and come away with gold. Hopefully I will do myself justice | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
and I am not going to give up until the end. | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
Tomorrow we'll hear from one of Scotland's gold medal hopes, | :26:49. | :26:50. | |
Jen McIntosh, who'll be defending her Commonwealth | :26:51. | :26:51. | |
title in the air rifle events. I wish I could promise dry and sunny | :26:52. | :27:10. | |
weather for everyone, but that is not going to be the case. Increasing | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
amounts of humidity. Big thunderstorms. The weather looks | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
pretty quiet. We have a few showers across parts of Scotland which are | :27:22. | :27:28. | |
moving southwards and eastwards. Many gardens across England and | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
Wales will get there early a drop of rain through the night and it will | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
be a mild night. Further north, things are a little bit fresher | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
particularly in the countryside, but a fine start to Tuesday. A few | :27:42. | :27:48. | |
isolated showers, a handful, across the north, so for the vast majority | :27:49. | :27:54. | |
a dry Tuesday in store. For many in the north and west feeling warmer | :27:55. | :28:02. | |
than today. We will see more cloud, wind and rain returned to the north | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
and west as we go through the night and into Wednesday and then we start | :28:06. | :28:11. | |
to get humid air. Whether you have the cloud and rain, there will be | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
sunny spells at times, and it is going to feel pretty humid. The most | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
humid conditions will be towards the south-east. Warmer still into | :28:21. | :28:26. | |
Thursday which could set off one or two showers or thunderstorms. The | :28:27. | :28:31. | |
vast majority have a dry day with varying amounts of sunshine. In | :28:32. | :28:35. | |
London we could be heading 30 degrees. Temperatures starting to | :28:36. | :28:43. | |
climb above average. By this stage is the increasing risk of storms. | :28:44. | :28:52. |
