When the campaign comes, David Cameron could be arguing | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
against those around the Cabinet table. | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
There will be a clear Government position but it will be open to | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
individual ministers to take a different personal position while | :00:27. | :00:27. | |

plenty of challenges ahead. Good evening and welcome | :01:12. | :01:30. | |
to the BBC News at Six. David Cameron has decided | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
to let his Cabinet colleagues choose sides when Britain gets its chance | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
to vote on whether to stay There's criticism of the move | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
within the Conservative Party but, as our political editor, | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
Laura Kuenssberg, reports, the Prime Minister was under | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
pressure from some of his You, him, and them. | :01:53. | :02:05. | |
The Prime Minister wants to persuade you to stay in the European Union. | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
But he admitted today there's no way he will ever persuade his whole | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
team. Statement the Prime Minister. Thank you, Mr Speaker. As the | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Commons returned for business, to cheers and jeers, he said Ministers | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
won't have to tow the line when it's time to choose. There will be a | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
clear Government position but it will be open to individual ministers | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
to take a different personal position while remaining part of the | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
Government. Ultimately, it will be for the British people to decide | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
this country's future by voting in or out of a reformed European Union. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
At meetings around the continent, David Cameron's arguing for looser | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
ties with the EU as early as June, you will then have your say but the | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
risk of Cabinet turmoil if they couldn't speak out was just too | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
great as the opposition knows. Leaders across Europe can see the | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
Prime Minister's demands are a bluff, a figureleaf for Conservative | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
Party politics. Does the Prime Minister accept his bluff has been | :03:09. | :03:17. | |
called? Conservative Eurosceptics are cockahoop. Maybe I salute the | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
decision to allow ministers to express freedom of choice on this | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
matter, this is not a sign of personal weakness but strength. | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Except it's the opposite of what David Cameron promised a year ago. | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
If you are part of the Government then clearly you are part of the | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
team, that is aiming for the renegotiation A free vote? No, I set | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
that out clearly in the past. There are strange echos of the last time | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
the country had a vote on Europe. In 1975, a Labour Prime Minister was | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
forced to allow the bizarre spectacle of his own Cabinet | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
Ministers arguing against each other in public. Will you please allow me | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
to answer the question. No, if I may say with respect... Now the sequel. | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
You are now going to have a Government in which there is no | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
total collective unity in which people will actually stay in office, | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
apparently, but publicly oppose one of the fundamental policies of the | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
Government in which they serve about the nation's future. That is really | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
a most unfortunate situation. To manage his party in this place, in | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
truth, David Cameron didn't have much of a choice. If he tried to | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
silence his Ministers who want to leave the EU, there would have been | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
uproar. But the decision you will make on staying or leaving the EU is | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
much bigger than what happens in Westminster day-to-day. Much bigger | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
even than what happens at a general election. But a choice that will | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
shape the future of our country for decades to come. David Cameron's | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
avoided or at least postponed damage from disagreements inside his party. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
But in the wider world to get his way on the EU there's still an awful | :04:59. | :04:59. | |
lot of work to do. And Laura Kuenssberg | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
is at Westminster now. Laura, does this mean a referendum | :05:03. | :05:12. | |
is likely sooner rather than later? I think it does, George. Exactly a | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
year ago this was certainly not the Prime Minister's original plan but | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
with the risk of ministers attacks in public he has had to shift but | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
this does show pretty clearly that Number 10 is increasingly confident | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
they'll be able to get a deal in February and will be able to push | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
that to a vote perhaps as early as June. Because there's been | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
speculation about what decision David Cameron would make for many | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
months. Now they've decided to go public with his decision, make this | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
announcement, clear the decks and start to be able to get on with the | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
arguments proper as he continues to go around Europe pressing the flesh, | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
trying to get a deal he thinks he can sell at home. For the | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
Conservatives, at least, despite their own internal traumas over | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
Europe, this is much bigger than those backroom machinations, this is | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
about all of us making the biggest decision in decades and after today | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
the clock is really ticking. Thank you very much. | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
Now to the latest IS video, thought to have been fronted | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
In the footage, five men are murdered, accused | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
The relative of one of the victims has been speaking about the killings | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
He's been talking to our world affairs correspondent | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
The so-called Islamic State, captured these five men. It forced | :06:25. | :06:35. | |
them to confess to espionage. Then it killed them. | :06:36. | :06:53. | |
The men were one 25-year-old, 35-year-old, an 18-year-old, | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
30-year-old, and a 40-year-old. At a secret location in Turkey, we | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
met one of the brothers, he is a democracy activist. He says his | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
brother in Isis-controlled Syria was just a normal person. My brother is | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
normal, normal civilian just like all the people inside my city. He | :07:17. | :07:26. | |
have shop. He fix the air conditioning, electric things in the | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
homes. He live a normal life. He hasn't slept since he learned of his | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
brother's death. How do you understand what happened? I don't | :07:38. | :07:46. | |
really accept the reality, my brother, not until now, not accept | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
just this moment came to me, now. My brother is good. Sorry. | :07:54. | :08:04. | |
Can I say my brother still alive, but after that I Back To Reality. | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
Yes, they execute him and he is innocent. | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
At astonishing risk activists inside Raqqa smuggle out footage of life | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
inside the Isis-ruled city where gunmen are in charge and where it's | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
safest simply to keep quiet. What is life like now for people in | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
Raqa? It's hell. The water sometimes come, sometimes not. Isis arrest | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
people without any charge, just like that. The five men who were forced | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
to make confessions had no chance to give their defence and to tell their | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
own stories. They paid with their lives. | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
The masked frontman in that IS video is thought to be | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
Siddhartha Dhar disappeared after being granted bail | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
at a Magistrates' Court in September 2014. | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
Now the Home Office is facing serious questions over how | :09:04. | :09:12. | |
an extremist suspect could flee the country | :09:13. | :09:13. | |
Here's our security correspondent Gordon Corera. | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
How strange it is that a leader of a small island... The masked jihadist | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
making threats against Britain. In the same video, a child of five is | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
seen briefly at the end talking in English. Tonight a woman from London | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
told the BBC the child resembled her grandson whom she hadn't seen for | :09:39. | :09:46. | |
three years. The eyeballs, the eyelashes, then the mouth. The lips. | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
So it looks like him. But I am not taking it as he is my grandson. The | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
chief suspect of being the masked man in the video is Siddhartha Dhar | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
from east London, seen here before he fled to Syria. | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
Officials are not confirming it is him but we asked a speech analysis | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
expert who wanted to remain anonymous for his own security to | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
compare Dhar's voice with that in the video. On the basis of my | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
experience what I have got here are two samples which show a strong | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
degree of similarity to one another. After he converted to Islam, Dhar | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
became involved with a group which was banned by the authorities. In | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
August 2014 he was arrested on suspicion of supporting the group. | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
The following month he was released on police bail without being | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
charged. After he was released on bail, he | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
came back here to Walthamstow, he was supposed to surrender his | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
passport but instead he took his family and fled via Europe to Syria. | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
That's raised questions about whether the authorities could have | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
done more to stop him. Dhar taunted the authorities from Syria, posting | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
pictures and boasting of how easy it had been to travel out. Statement, | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
the Home Secretary. Today, the Home Secretary declined to comment on the | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
specific case but said more was being done to prevent travel. Last | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
year, the counterterrorism and security act provided new powers to | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
deal specifically with the problem of foreign fighters and prevent | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
radicalisation. This included a new power to temporarily seize the | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
passports of those suspected of intending to leave the UK in | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
connection with terrorism-related activity. Whether or not Dhar is the | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
man in the video, questions will still remain about his ease of | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
travel and whether new measures have done enough to stop others following | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
his path to Syria and to violence. Three bodies have been found | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
by police searching for a missing former EastEnders | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
actress and her family. 43-year-old Sian Blake - | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
who played Frankie Pierre in the series - vanished | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
with her sons, Zachary, eight, and Amon, four, | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
on December 13th. Police said the bodies were found | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
in the garden of Ms Blake's Our reporter Dan Johnson joins us | :12:10. | :12:18. | |
from outside the family What's the latest on the | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
investigation? Forensic teams are still at work in this bungalow. | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
They've been taking out a number of items and a couple of hours ago we | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
saw them remove the bodies they discovered in the garden here. | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
They've been at work here, the police, for 24 hours now. It was | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
nine days before Christmas when they first came to this house searching | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
for Sian and her children. They spoke to her partner. He couldn't | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
tell them where his family was and he hasn't been seen or heard from | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
since. Now police are still appealing for anybody who knows | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
where he is to come forward with any information. They haven't confirmed | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
the identity of the bodies they've discovered here, but it does look | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
like this could be the worst possible news. They've informed | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
Sian's family. There may be questions about how long the bodies | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
lay here and whether they could have been discovered sooner. Thank you | :13:15. | :13:15. | |
very much. The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
who is carrying out a reshuffle of his top team, has sacked | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
Michael Dugher as the Shadow Culture Mr Dugher has, in the past, publicly | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
criticised Mr Corbyn's leadership. Further changes are | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
expected this evening. This report from our political | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
correspondent Vicky Young contains There have been weeks | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
of speculation, and Jeremy Corbyn has held meetings for two days, | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
but we still don't know who will be sitting with him at | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
Labour's top table. And this morning, his Shadow Cabinet | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
were desperate for information, too. Hilary Benn, who publicly disagreed | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
with Mr Corbyn and voted for air strikes in Syria, has faced | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
calls for his dismissal With matters still unresolved, | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
Mr Corbyn and Mr Benn were forced And David Cameron | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
couldn't resist a dig. Can I apologise for interrupting | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
what is clearly the longest After hours of rumour, | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
this was the first concrete news. Michael Dugher, sacked from his job | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
as Shadow Culture Secretary. We believed Jeremy Corbyn | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
when he said that he wanted to bring people together, he wanted a party | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
where there was room for a little dissent, where we could have proper | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
debate and where we could The truth is, that has just not | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
transpired, and I think that is a real squandered | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
opportunity for Labour. Mr Dugher says Labour MPs who do not | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
share all of Mr Corbyn's views Jeremy has got to really learn some | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
tough lessons from this, which is, the truth is, | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
you cannot treat people the way that some people have been treated | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
in recent weeks, and when people like myself choose to stand up | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
and call that out for what it is, you know, actually we should be | :14:58. | :15:05. | |
saying that is something After Mr Dugher's dismissal, | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
several of his former colleagues took to social media | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
to express their disappointment. But Mr Corbyn's friends insist | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
he is entitled to make changes. If he doesn't want people | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
in the Shadow Cabinet who spend more time attacking the Labour Party | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
leadership than the Tory benches opposite us, then he is perfectly | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
within his rights to do that. They could be burning the midnight | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
oil in Mr Corbyn's office. This is it proving to be a slow | :15:26. | :15:38. | |
process. Is Jeremy Corbyn trying to achieve? He wants to improve | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
diversity in the Shadow Cabinet, promoting more women after the | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
criticism. It was described to me as extreme disloyalty help wants people | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
in the defence and foreign affairs brief who reflect more the way he | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
thinks about these things. All eyes again are on Hilary Benn. There has | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
been a move to push him from his job. Last night he was reassured and | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
told he could stay. Tonight that seems to be up in the air again. So | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
who know what is will happen in the next few hours. Many thanks. The | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
time is 6. 16pm. David Cameron will allow his Cabinet | :16:16. | :16:21. | |

in the Paralympic team. A new implant or "bionic eye" has | :16:40. | :16:54. | |
helped a blind woman It's hoped it could eventually help | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
restore the sight of thousands A computer chip is implanted over | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
the retina and sends light signals Each chip costs at least ?50,000, | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
roughly the same as training If trials are positive, | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
surgeons hope it could be available on the NHS in as | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
little as two years. Our medical correspondent, | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
Fergus Walsh, has the story. Since the age of five, Rhian Lewis | :17:19. | :17:29. | |
has been gradually losing her sight as a result of a rare condition. | :17:30. | :17:38. | |
It's a bit like someone has put the dimmer switch off gradually. It's | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
been maybe eight years since I've had any idea what my children look | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
like. I certainly don't know how I've aged. Now, surgeons at Oxford | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
Eye Hospital are to fit a German made implant in a bided to restore | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
some of her vision. The tiny chip is fitted over the retina's light | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
processing cells which have stopped working. Just 3x3mms. The implant | :18:01. | :18:10. | |
has 1600 light-sensitive pixels. When light hits the implant it sends | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
signals to the optic nerve and onto the brain which processes them. | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
Rhian has to learn how to interpret those messages. This control box | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
allows her to adjust the contrast and frequency of the images. Can she | :18:28. | :18:38. | |
now tell the time? Three. I think three is longer. Have a feel. Oh, it | :18:39. | :18:48. | |
is. Oh, my God! Well done. I got it right. It's nice to compare those | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
early TV pictures. Grainy black-and-white. An outline of | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
things, moving and coming and going. Compared to what we see that would | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
be a low-level of vision. For someone who is blind it's a | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
life-changing event. She needs help getting around, but Rhian saying | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
having the implant is pure joy. You're not completely helpless. Can | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
you find the edge of a wall. I really can't put it into words. It's | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
just... I felt elated. Switch the machine on. It comes on completely | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
instantly. I'll start moving my head around. There. The flashing is | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
starting now. In 2012 I met Robin Miller one of the first patients to | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
receive an earlier version of the implant. Those devices lasted up to | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
18 months. It's hoped Rhian's implant could stay in place for five | :19:43. | :19:50. | |
years. Fergus Walsh, BBC News. No way, no way! Exactly on it. | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
You can see more on that story, Trust Me, I'm a Doctor, | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
President Obama has given an emotional speech about his latest | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
attempt to tighten gun controls in the US. | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
He said he was using his presidential powers because Congress | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
And from every family who never imagined that their loved one | :20:07. | :20:16. | |
would be taken from our lives by a bullet from a gun. | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
Every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad. | :20:24. | :20:37. | |
And, by the way, it happens on the streets | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
Our North America editor, Jon Sopel, is in Washington. | :20:40. | :20:53. | |
Emotional President, clearly, Jon, will it help change minds in | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
Congress? When we interviewed the President, six months ago, he said | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
it was the greatest frustration of his period in office that he hadn't | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
been able to do more about gun crime. Add to that impatience, | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
anger, as we saw in that clip, emotion as well. Will it change the | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
minds of people in Congress - no, it probably won't. There is sufrp | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
bitter division on this issue. If you look at the proposals, they are | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
relatively modest. It's about saying that anyone who buys a gun should be | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
subject to a background check. It's not as though the President is | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
saying a whole had class of weapons should be banned entirely. Because | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
this is so divisive people say on philosophical grounds. Tl abuses the | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
second amendment on the right to bear arms it's impractical it won't | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
stop shootings. You can be sure at the end of this it's likely to end | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
in a legal challenge. Jon, thank you very much. | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
The Met Office has confirmed that last month was the wettest December | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
on record and the warmest since 1910. | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
The unseasonal weather, that's seen temperatures around four | :22:00. | :22:01. | |
degrees Celsius above the long-term average, was mainly the result | :22:02. | :22:03. | |
of the jet stream and the El Nino current in the Pacific Ocean. | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
A school bus in North Yorkshire became stranded in flood water this | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
morning after the driver went through a road closure sign. | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
The Council said the route normally taken by the bus had been closed | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
by the highways authority since the heavy rains | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
There were 26 children on board at the time. | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
They were safely removed from the bus by the Fire Brigade. | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
A clean-up operation is underway in Cornwall after thousands of pink | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
detergent bottles were washed up on the shore. | :22:37. | :22:38. | |
The authorities are urging residents to keep children and dogs away | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
They say it's the latest in a string of problems | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
And another one. As the sunset in Cornwall tonight, more pink bottles | :22:45. | :23:00. | |
were coming ashore. They've been washing up since Sunday, dozens of | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
them, then hundreds, now thousands. Local volunteers, who have turned | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
out to clear them, can't quite believe. It It was like a wave of | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
pink, of pink. It was pink along the edge of the sea, all along here. | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
It's really a bit of a disaster. How many of these do you think you've | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
done? Quite a few hundred, if not 1,000. I don't know. I'm not | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
counting, I'm just doing it. Tonight Cornwall Council said it believed | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
the bottles contained Vanish stain remover. The company who makes the | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
products is urgently investigating if that's the case and offered to | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
help with the clean-up. A container full of Vanish sank off Cornwall | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
last May, but it's not clear if that's where these bottles came | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
from. Until the contents and origin are known the public are being | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
warned not to touch and to keep children and animals away. Most of | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
them are still full. Some of them are leaking. So they are leaking, | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
you know, stain remover, detergent, onto the beaches, into the marine | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
environment. They are a hazard to people and wildlife. Whatever is | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
inside them, this is a bright pink reminder about the peril of plastic | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
in our oceans. Plastic does not in any circumstance automatically break | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
down into the sea. It just breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
which get ingested into the food chain. So far Poldhu Cove has been | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
the worst affected. Bottles are being cleared from beaches all along | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
the Lizard peninsula. The trouble, is for every load that's taken away, | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
a new lot, here's some more, come in. Daylight tomorrow is expected to | :24:43. | :24:53. | |
bring another pink tide. John Kay, BBC News Cornwall. | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
Ben Stokes double century against South Africa - | :25:00. | :25:01. | |
the fastest for England with a record 11 sixes - | :25:02. | :25:03. | |
Now, a 15-year-old Indian schoolboy has become the first batsman | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
in the history of the game to score more than 1,000 runs | :25:08. | :25:09. | |
Our South Asia correspondent, Justin Rowlatt, reports. | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
15-year-old Pranav Dhanawade didn't expect to break any records today. | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
He says he played what he calls his "natural game" - | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
attacking from the word go, and attack he did. | :25:24. | :25:25. | |
Six-and-a-half hours later, he'd run up a total of more | :25:26. | :25:34. | |
1,009 runs not out and all in a single innings. | :25:35. | :25:43. | |
The son of an auto-rickshaw driver was powered into cricketing history, | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
shattering the previous record of 628 runs that had stood | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
When I go to bat, I only keep in mind that I had to play a big | :25:51. | :26:01. | |
innings and after playing on, playing on, I scored 100 runs, | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
Mumbai school cricket is seriously competitive, | :26:05. | :26:21. | |
It's produced legendary cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar, | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
widely reckoned to have been the best batsman of all-time | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
and today he tweeted his congratulations to the young player, | :26:28. | :26:29. | |
urging him to work hard and scale even greater peaks. | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
Right, come on lads, let's try again. | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
He's certainly a hero to these kids, but perhaps it's the rival team that | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
They were all out for a paltry 31 runs. | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
Hello. Hello. Next week it might be ice surrounding York Castle. A | :26:48. | :27:05. | |
familiar scene, further flooding up-and-down the UK. Thank you very | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
much to Gary for sending in this particular picture the weather | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
watchers have been sending your pictures in in abundance. Teesside | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
suffered from flooding, you are ma'am ham and Northumberland has an | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
amber warning in force, be prepared for disruption and flooding into the | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
night. Another wet and windy night for Scotland. Cluster of showers | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
elsewhere which could cause problems into the night. Many places will | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
become dry and where the winds fall light across the heart of England we | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
have patches of fog falling. A murky end to the night. Locally, where the | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
skies remain clear, temperatures could get close to freezing. I think | :27:47. | :27:50. | |
fog more of a concern first thing tomorrow morning. Slow to clear. It | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
could disrupt your travel first thing in the morning. That low cloud | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
will linger well into the day. A murky day cross the eastern side of | :27:59. | :28:01. | |
the country. Further west a better chance of seeing sunshine. A lot of | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
dry weather on offer through tomorrow. Not for all of us, there | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
will be further rain to eastern parts of Scotland, not the | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
persistent deluge we've seen. Cold and raw with further snowfall for | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
the Grampians. Showery rain to north-eastern parts of England. It | :28:19. | :28:20. | |
shouldn't be too disruptive. There are warnings in force. Further west | :28:21. | :28:25. | |
dryer. Probably the best of the brightness across western parts of | :28:26. | :28:27. | |
England and Wales and Northern Ireland as well before more rain | :28:28. | :28:30. | |
turns up across Cornwall by the end of the afternoon. That rain will | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
sweep across the country, as we go through tomorrow night, a bit of a | :28:35. | :28:38. | |
splash. For many it won't last that long, further persistent rain and | :28:39. | :28:41. | |
hill snow for Scotland. That is something we will keep a close eye | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
on. That's it. Back to you, George. . | :28:47. | :28:50. | |
That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me, | :28:51. | :28:51. |
