The hidden scale of child abuse in the UK: a massive police | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
operation across the UK arrests over 600 suspected paedophiles. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
But only 39 of them were previously known to police. | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
They were all accused of accessing indecent images online. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Hundreds of children have now been made safe. | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
It is a crime which cuts across every strata of society, you cannot | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
depict who is going to be looking at these images. It is a problem of | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
academic proportions. made safe. | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
The list of those arrested included doctors, scout leaders | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
and former police officers. Also tonight: | :00:43. | :00:44. | |

when he said that he was going to investigate child abuse. | :01:35. | :01:43. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
It's the biggest police operation of its kind involving 45 forces across | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
the UK, targeting people watching indecent images of children online. | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
The result, 660 suspected paedophiles have been arrested | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
including doctors, teachers, scout leaders and former police officers. | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
The vast majority were unknown to the police. Only 39 were | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
registered sex offenders. The National Crime Agency says | :02:04. | :02:15. | |
over 400 children have now been made safe as a result | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
of the six month investigation. Angus Crawford has more. | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
Child sexual abuse online, every digital device has a camera, meaning | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
that paedophiles are now making and trading obscene pictures more than | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
ever before. SHOUTING | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
A national crime agency initiative launched large -- launched last | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
October. Preventing child exploitation online has become a key | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
priority. What has been developing over the last couple of years is an | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
increasing understanding of the scale of the issue. The ability for | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
people to access material very easily by the Internet has changed | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
the face of this type of criminality. One of those arrested | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
was a doctor. He had more than 1 million obscene images. Another, a | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
grandfather, with access to 17 children. There was also a foster | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
carer, looking after a vulnerable child. This operation sends a clear | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
message: There is no hiding place for paedophiles on the Internet. | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
National crime agency will not talk about its tactics. We do know that | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
officers have expert training from the Los Angeles Police Department, | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
and I had exclusive access to their online paedophile unit just last | :03:37. | :03:45. | |
month. Dawn raids in force, backed up by high-tech forensic units, and | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
a sophisticated software, which tracks, in real-time, people who are | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
accessing abuse images. From what I can see, above Croydon, | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
a red dot, that means there is an individual who at this moment is | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
swapping images of child sex abuse. For experts based in the UK, the | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
scale of the operation, operation notarised, must act as a wake-up | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
call: It cuts across every strata of society. You cannot depict who is | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
going to be looking at these images, it is an epidemic. -- operation | :04:22. | :04:33. | |
Notarise. The police cannot complex there | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
games on their own, it is also for the wider community to help stop | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
this. Only 39 of the 660 suspected paedophiles are previously known to | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
the police, does that suggest that so far the police have only | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
uncovered the tip of the iceberg. It exactly suggests that, it really is | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
the case that this is happening on the Internet, and when you put your | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
hand into the water and try to feel around what is happening, you come | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
up with a lot of people you have never seen before as far as | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
investigators here are concerned. People who are able to trade these | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
images anonymously, on the normal Internet, and also what is called | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
the dark web, where they can hide their traces around the Internet by | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
using certain types of software. It is clear this was an Internet | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
targeted operation, targeted not against the people who are making | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
abusive images but those who are sharing them. It is much easier to | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
hide away when you are just sharing and swapping. They have been very | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
careful not to give away what kind of techniques they are using. There | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
is the suggestion they are not new techniques but they are increasingly | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
using them to tackle this sort of online trade in material like this. | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
They say they will continue to use it in future. | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
More people are in employment in the UK that at any time | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
since records began. The number of people in jobs rose | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
by 1 million in the past year. It means that over 73% of | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
people of working age are now in employment. | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
However, wage increases are at a record low, rising by just 0.7%, | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
some way behind the cost of living. Our Business Correspondent Simon | :06:20. | :06:20. | |
Jack reports. Many hands make light work and there | :06:21. | :06:32. | |
is now a record number of human hands at work in the UK economy. | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
This robotics company is based in the north-east, an area of high | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
unemployment, jobs are being created here at one of the fastest rates in | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
the country. In the north-east we have very successful sectors like | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
this sector, which is growing 20, 30% every year. People with the | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
right skills are able to participate. It is high and | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
manufacturing, building machines like this robot, which is filming me | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
right now, which is fuelling job creation. These machines are used by | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
the oil and gas industry to do dangerous underwater jobs that | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
humans cannot do. That is what you do in an industrial city like | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
Newcastle but what about here? Creating jobs in Northumberland, | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
like this rural town, is much more of a challenge. In fact, you have | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
got to create your own basically, providing a home for new businesses | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
is one goal of this trust. We recognise that rural areas are very | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
dependent upon macro enterprise, they employ between one and five | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
people. Our role has been to create the right environment and stimulate | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
and grow their business. Sarah Bell recently set up a recruitment agency | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
and is one of the tenants. Without a place like this, my options would be | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
limited, up to Edinburgh or down to Newcastle. Three hours commute, | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
either way, each day. Or, I would have to look at more drastic options | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
if I wanted to continue my career I would probably have to move. | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
Self-employment typically pays less and it is wages across the board | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
that are a concern. We have been seeing increasingly good increases | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
in employment and falls in unemployment, but wage inflation is | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
very low, people are getting jobs but they are not well paid according | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
to the data. The Bank of England has said that if spending power | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
increases that may be a prompt to raise interest rates. There is not | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
yet any sign of that. There Four Palestinian children | :08:29. | :08:37. | |
from the same family have been killed by a rocket attack | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
on a beach in Gaza City, bringing the Palestinian death total to 213, | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
Israel has urged tens of thousands of people to leave their homes in | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
Gaza, amid signs that it's preparing to step up its military campaign. | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
Israel says at least 155 rockets have been fired from Gaza, | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
one Israeli has been killed. Quentin Sommerville reports. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
The children were playing on the beach in Gaza when the Israeli | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
artillery hit, striking with such a force, there was nowhere to hide. As | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
the survivors ran for cover, there was further shelling. The injured, | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
more children, taken to a local hospital. As family members arrived, | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
the shattering news. For the boys were brothers. -- four of the boys | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
were brothers. TRANSLATION: Medical teams are in the area, looking to | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
evacuate the dead and wounded from the site, which was completely | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
destroyed. Their ages are between four and ten years old. Leaflets had | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
been dropped earlier by Israel across northern Gaza warning people | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
to flee, they carried what they could and headed for shelter in the | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
schools. Israel has promised to intensify its military offensive. | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
Already more than 200 Palestinians have been killed. | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
Today, for the first time in this conflict, it was the turn of Israel | :10:04. | :10:12. | |
to grieve. The family of the man who died, gathering with mourners to | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
bury him. He was killed last night by a mortar from Gaza, the first | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
Israeli to die. He died just hours after an cease-fire attempt failed, | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
if it had succeeded commonly may have lived, so too may have the ten | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
or so Palestinians who died overnight in Gaza. Nine days into | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
the conflict, there is still no great appetite for peace. | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
This evening, Gaza was overwhelmed with grief. Their pain was raw, as | :10:40. | :10:48. | |
the bodies of the dead children were carried through the streets. Yet | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
more civilians killed in a conflict which shows no signs of ending. | :10:52. | :11:03. | |
And there are a series of special reports on the Middle East crisis | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
on the bbc website, including all the background, and guides to the | :11:09. | :11:10. | |
key players. A police file, seen by the BBC, | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
has revealed the extent to which pressure was put | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
on investigators to drop their inquiries into claims that | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
the late MP for Rochdale Sir Cyril Smith had abused teenaged boys. | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
The file was drawn up in 1970, only days after he was selected | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
as the Liberal candidate for the forthcoming general election. | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
Ed Thomas joins me now. What more have we learnt? | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
Here is the document, all 14 pages, it details the police file against | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
Cyril Smith in 1970. They were investigating him for abusing eight | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
young boys in Rochdale. It is important for two reasons. First of | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
all, it details the seriousness of the allegations against Cyril Smith, | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
and secondly, it tells us the people who tried to protect him as police | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
tried to investigate. On the abuse, one detective said: It is impossible | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
to excuse his conduct, he appears guilty commonly used his unique | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
position to indulge in a sordid series of indecent episodes against | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
young boys. Next, the document revealed that powerful friends of | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
Cyril Smith in Rochdale who tried to help him. They are not named, the | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
names have been redacted. One is a justice of the piece, a magistrate. | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
He made veiled threats against the police, he said, "this is not worthy | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
of the court room", he said "the backlash will have unfortunate | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
repercussions for the police and the town of Rochdale". The eight boys | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
were not believed, Cyril Smith was never held to account, this file was | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
even passed to prosecutors. A new rating system is to be | :12:49. | :12:56. | |
introduced for care homes that could lead to the closure | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
of those that fail to improve. The so-called | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
"special measures" system is already been used for struggling hospitals | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
in England. The head of the | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
Care Quality Commission says her inspectors discover truly awful | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
care in care homes week in week out which should not be happening.' | :13:10. | :13:11. | |

Rotten stall in Lancashire, requires dedication, patients and kindness. | :13:17. | :13:25. | |
70% of those who stay here have dementia. The health service | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
watchdog already oversee standards in homes like this one. Now, it will | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
have the power to put those that are failing into what is called special | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
measures, the care home operators -- for care home operators, that will | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
mean closer scrutiny. -- cooking after the residents of this care | :13:44. | :13:48. | |

concerns about the quality of his carer which went unheeded, she said | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
that other families need not go through the same experience. I hope | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
that special measures will be a reinforcement where care is found to | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
be inadequate, swift and decisive action is taken to support families | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
and people living in care homes. I have been having a chat with the | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
junior doctor... The Royal Blackburn took a year to come out special | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
measures, improvements have been made in accident and emergency, | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
staffing levels and how are handled. Managers argue that a more | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
fundamental transfer is underway. We have begun to change the culture, so | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
that when staff see that care being delivered is not safe, personal or | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
effective, they are confident to raise concerns. I have left your | :15:00. | :15:07. | |
brew up there for you. Hospitals and care homes are very different | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
organisations but ministers are certain that the measures used in | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
certain that the measures used hospitals can be used | :15:16. | :15:21. | |

More than 130 peers are expected to speak in a debate on the | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
Assisted Dying Bill in the House of Lords at the end of this week. | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
If passed, it would allow terminally ill patients in England and Wales | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
deemed to have less than six months to live the right to help to end | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
their lives. It's currently illegal - | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
anyone assisting a suicide could face up to 14 years in prison. | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
Those opposed to the bill argue it could put pressure on vulnerable | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
people to kill themselves. Our Medical Correspondent Fergus | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
Walsh has been talking to Professor Stephen Hawking, | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
who is almost completely paralysed by motor neurone disease, | :16:28. | :16:28. | |
about why he supports the bill. This is Stephen Hawking's daily | :16:29. | :16:48. | |
routine, at 72, still working at the University. He has lived with a form | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
of motor neurone disease over 50 years, despair, and suicide he | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
believes are wrong, unless people are terminally ill and in great | :16:57. | :17:08. | |
pain. Why should your pain be prolonged against your wishes, it is | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
discrimination against the disabled to deny them the right to kill | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
themselves, able-bodied people have. Isn't there a danger if the bill | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
becomes law, vulnerable terminally ill people could feel pressurised to | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
die? There have to be safeguards, that the person that wants to die, | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
they are not being pressurised into it. Almost completely paralysed, | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
Stephen Hawking uses his cheek muscles to operate a computer. His | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
condition has not stopped him from becoming one of the world 's most | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
celebrated scientists. In the fields of cosmology and theoretical | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
physics. His health began to deteriorate while he was still an | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
undergraduate at Oxford. But he has defied the odds, to live so long. | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
Nevertheless, doctors once considered whether to turn off the | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
life-support machine after a bout of pneumonia. You were given two or | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
three years to live in your early 20s. The doctors got it wrong. Isn't | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
there a danger with this bill, that people would choose to die who would | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
have gone on to lead a long and productive life? This is a decision | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
the individual has to make. It is wrong for the law to take away the | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
option. I admit when I had my operation, I briefly tried to commit | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
suicide by not breathing. However, the reflex to breathe was too | :18:41. | :18:45. | |

life and a keen sense of humour. It is not the body I want. It is the | :18:59. | :19:08. | |
car. Many disability groups are profoundly opposed to the Assisted | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
Dying Bill, which will debated on Friday by peers, for Stephen | :19:13. | :19:15. | |

right to choose. about why he supports the bill. | :19:18. | :19:26. | |

and East of England. The Met Office says it expects the | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
hottest day of the year on Friday. And health officials have issued | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
a warning, urging people to think about | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
the dangers of high temperatures. Our correspondent Sian Lloyd is | :19:46. | :19:46. | |
in Great Yarmouth. I know it is a warning but it looks | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
glorious there? Actually there is a gentle breeze which has got up this | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
evening. It has been a very busy day on the prom, people out and enjoying | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
the sunshine. And over the coming days as part of the world is | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
forecast to get even hotter. -- this part of the world. The Met office | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
has issued a level to heed warning, because it feels people 's health | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
could be affected -- level two heat warning. People are warned to drink | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
plenty of fluids, stay in during the hottest part of the day and use | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
sunscreen. Temperatures are expected to climb tomorrow until Saturday. | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
Parts expected on the east coast, the south-east, London and the | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
Midlands, the West Midlands and the East Midlands. Plenty of other vice | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
coming in at macro plenty of advice. Here on the east coast, London, West | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
Midlands and East Midlands included -- plenty of advice. May be the heat | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
did it for the connection there, we are sorry about that. | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
From September all infants at primary schools | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
in England are to get free school meals, paid for by the government. | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
But 32 councils say they're having to provide money | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
from their own budgets to make sure the scheme will work. | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
An investigation for BBC Radio 5 Live has revealed that many are | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
raiding their maintenance budgets to make up the shortfall, | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
while others are passing the costs onto the schools themselves. | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
Here's our education correspondent Alex Forsyth. | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
It is said there is no such thing as a free lunch. That is true, in | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
Kettering, in Northamptonshire. Like all schools in England it has two | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
provide meals for all infant pupils from September. The Department for | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
Education has provided funding, but this school, like some others, is | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
having to find extra money for things like more staff to supervise | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
children with hot food. It will cost around ?8,500 per year. It would | :21:49. | :21:57. | |
translate into art resources, more resources, history and geography, | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
you name it, that is the kind of money we would expect to be spending | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
on curriculum resources over one year. Money is not the only issue, | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
most teachers like the idea of providing healthy lunches, but there | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
are some practical problems. Around 40 children in the school currently | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
have hot meals, but from September there will be more than 300. They | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
are having to use the school hall instead of serving sandwiches in | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
classrooms, which leaves less time for other things like PE. But pilot | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
areas which have trialled the scheme say it can work well, here in London | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
every child already gets lunch provided, and it is popular. I like | :22:36. | :22:44. | |
the school dinner. The deserts are very nice. They are really nice. | :22:45. | :22:53. | |
It's really tasty. Rolling out free dinners across the country was an | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
idea from the Liberal Democrats, today the schools minister said it | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
is on track. I am confident we have funded this sufficiently, and well. | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
Many people on the revenue funding have been saying they think the | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
allocations we have made our generous, they will fund this | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
easily. We have made a massive allocation of capital to improve | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
school kitchens. Healthy meals are good for attainment and well-being, | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
and most schools say they will offer one by September although for some, | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
it is a challenge. A week today the opening ceremony | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
of the Commonwealth Games will take place in Glasgow and | :23:32. | :23:33. | |
for the team captain of Wales it will be a very proud moment. | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
Paralympic discus thrower Aled Davies, who won two golds | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
in London, will lead out his team and our reporter Kate Grey | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
went to Cardiff to meet him. I can do this when it matters at the | :23:41. | :23:51. | |
right time, I want to do it when it matters. Not just in training. I | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
have the aspirations of bringing home the gold medal. Can he go | :23:57. | :24:07. | |
further? Aled Davies was born with disabilities but he shot to fame in | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
London 2012 with his gold medal winning throw and the memorable | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
celebrations. Every emotion you can imagine came out, I won the gold | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
medal, it was like a relief. The eight years of hard work and the ups | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
and downs and the emotional roller-coaster it had been had paid | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
off. I wanted to go mad. Running around like a wild animal. Becoming | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
Paralympic champion has been the highlight of his career but | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
competing for Wales at the Commonwealth Games has a special | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
meaning. Howdy you feel when you put this on? I feel patriotic, I want to | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
sing and go coal-mining. It is very special. Not taking away from Great | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
Britain, I love Great Britain, but there is a lot more heart when it | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
comes to Wales. This is an attitude he will be hoping to pass on to his | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
team-mates as captain. Leading a 230 strong Welsh squad, a great honour | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
and responsibility for the boy from Bridgend. It makes a great | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
statement, to have Paralympic athlete as a captain, London was a | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
stepping stone. We are still a long way from being equal. We are heading | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
in the right direction. I train between 6-8 hours every day. It is a | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
gruelling schedule but he still finds time to promote Paralympic | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
sport and inspire the stars of the future. What are these events mean | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
to you? This is where the champions of tomorrow are made. I love | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
inspiring and giving back. If I can come here and inspire some children | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
I feel like the job is done. He might relish being a role model but | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
what matters the most is glory at the Glasgow games. I want to deliver | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
performance that I can be proud of and everybody else can be proud of. | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
Hopefully they can feed off it and see, this is how we do it. Time to | :26:00. | :26:01. | |
put Wales on the map. went to Cardiff to meet him. | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
Kate Grey talking to Aled Davies. Tomorrow we hear from our final | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
athlete in the series, Northern Ireland boxer Alanna Audley-Murphy. | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
Let's take a look at the weather, we were hearing about the heatwave, it | :26:15. | :26:22. | |
will get very hot on Friday. Yes, Friday, we could smash 30 degrees | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
for the first time this year. It's not just about the daytime | :26:28. | :26:29. | |
temperature, night-time as well, very warm night. It will go bang | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
with the thunderstorms on Saturday. More in a moment, hot weather talk | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
is a little bit premature because today, it has been quite cloudy and | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
cool. Providing quite a few showers across Scotland and northern England | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
and Wales. This area of rain is moving south but it is fizzling out | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
across to East Anglia and the Southeast. For most places it will | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
be dry with some scattered showers in the North West. It will be a | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
comfortable night the many places, temperatures 13-14. In the south it | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
will be warm or humid, 17-18?. In the south it will be | :27:12. | :27:13. | |
will be warm or humid, 17-18?. In morning. We could get some misty | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
conditions in the south coast. For most places it will be a fine summer | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
conditions in the south coast. For western Scotland but most places | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
will see sunshine. It will be warmer, Glasgow will have | :27:27. | :27:27. | |
will see sunshine. It will be degrees. Still a bit cool on some | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
will see sunshine. It will be the North Sea coasts. Across | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
northern England noticeably warm and bright with | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
northern England noticeably warm and for Wales, 25, 20 6 degrees. Maybe | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
cooler along the south coast. Inland, close to London, 27, 20 9 | :27:45. | :27:54. | |
degrees -- 25 or 26 degrees. Risk of the storms tomorrow night, pushing | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
across western areas, they could be in the Liverpool area for the second | :27:58. | :28:04. | |
day of the Open. Foremost, Friday is all about the heat. That is when we | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
are likely to get 30-32 degrees. Cooler around the New York -- the | :28:09. | :28:16. | |
coasts in the North. And then, the heat will cause problems, Saturday | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
and Sunday we could have thunderstorms, potentially violent | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
storms. The message is to stay tuned, it could cause problems from | :28:25. | :28:35. | |
Friday and into Saturday. A massive police operation across the UK has | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
resulted in the arrest of up to 600 suspected paedophiles. | :28:40. | :28:42. |
