Nissan makes a new commitment to its Sunderland plant. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Ministers call it a vote of confidence in | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
The company confirms it will make new models in the UK. | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
This is fantastic news for the British economy from Nissan. | :00:15. | :00:23. | |
This is a very important commitment of investment here in the UK. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
And latest figures show the economy grew by 0.5%. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
The carmaker Nissan has confirmed that it will make not | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
one, but two new models at its plant in Sunderland. | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
The decision marks the first major investment in the industry | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
Ministers argue it is a vote of confidence in Britain's | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
The Nissan announcement comes on a day when new figures | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
showed economic growth was better than expected. | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
More on that in a moment, but first, here's our business editor | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
Simon Jack, who's at the Nissan plant in Sunderland. | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
George, yes, production was actually halted here at 11am for this | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
announcement which was greeted by cheers. It will secure manufacturing | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
here in the north-east, many years into a post-Brexit future. Now a lot | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
of people are asking, what has the government offered Nissan to allay | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
concerns the company expressed just a month ago? Nissan are not denying | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
government support has been discussed but they are denying it is | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
a sweetheart deal so whatever Nissan was offered, the rest of the | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
industry will expect to get the same. Whatever the offer was, it | :02:42. | :02:42. | |
worked. It was the news Sunderland have been | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
waiting and hoping for, a commitment to make cars many years into a | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
post-Brexit future and it was welcomed in the city. That's | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
excellent news. Great for the north-east. I've got a lot of | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
friends who work at Nissan as also obviously, if it secures jobs for | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
them, it helps the local economy a lot. The city's biggest employer by | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
far, committed to build the next-generation of its Qashqai model | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
but an unexpected bonus, the X-Trail model will also be in production in | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
four to five years' time. The head of European production at Nissan | :03:19. | :03:27. | |
explained what it meant for the workers and for the city. It's | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
fantastic news for all the workforce today. We stop the production line | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
and you don't stop that likely. We stopped the line at 11am and briefed | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
all staff because it is fantastic news for everyone here. It is a big | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
pat on the back, big cheer, the place is buzzing with excitement. | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
Nissan has been here since 1986 and makes more cars here than any other | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
manufacturer. So the Prime Minister was understandably delighted at | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Nissan's vote of confidence. This is a very important commitment of | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
investment here in the UK. I think it shows the strength of Aragon me. | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
We have been showing Nissan and others that we are committed to | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
getting the best possible deal from the future relationship that we will | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
be negotiating with the European Union. We wish to ensure and assure | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
the competitiveness of the British economy. 55% of cars built in | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
Sunderland are for export to the EU. Those exports support 7000 direct | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
jobs here at the plant. In total, the auto industry directly employs | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
169,000 people with an estimated five times that number in the UK | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
supply chain. That makes the UK car industry very sensitive to | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
post-Brexit trade terms. That uncertainty prompted Carlos Ghosn, | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
the boss of Nissan Renault, to say this just last month at the Paris | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
motor show. As long as we don't have a handicap, and we can continue to | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
do business the way we were doing it before, I have absolutely no | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
problem. It means that what we would like is that wherever the decision | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
will be taken in terms of Brexit, that the move of goods between the | :05:02. | :05:09. | |
UK and Europe be as fluid as it is today. Now it's unclear exactly how | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
the government managed to allay Nissan's concerns. It is that lack | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
of character it that drew criticism today. -- lack of clarity. We hear a | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
deal for Nissan which is welcome if it protects jobs but it can't be | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
chaotic, if the government leaks individual statements, that they are | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
dealing with individual sectors of the economy, not the whole economy's | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
future. This is the pride of Sunderland, a boat full of cars | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
heading to Europe. The exact course of the government's negotiations | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
with Europe and the car industry is yet to be plotted. Simon Jack, BBC | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
News, Sunderland. So let's go to those latest | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
figures on the economy. New figures show that output rose | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
by 0.5% between July and September, that's the first quarter | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
since the EU referendum. The Office for National Statistics | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
said there was "little evidence" that the Brexit vote had had | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
a "pronounced effect" Our economics correspondent | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
Andy Verity has more. This Sheffield a manufacturer is | :06:00. | :06:13. | |
everything the economy was not supposed to be following about to | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
leave, confident, growing healthily and exporting patented manufactured | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
goods based on innovation and long-term investment. If anything, | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
the weakness of the pound post-referendum has given it a lift. | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
We will make gains. We are 85% export, 40% sales in euros, 30% in | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
US dollars. So clearly, the value of those sales will go up in UK | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
sterling. As the Chancellor visited a key export hub, Southampton docks, | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
the picture emerging from the post-referendum fog is of an economy | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
growing faster than most expectations, including his. Very | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
strong third-quarter growth. That tells us that we go into the period | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
of negotiation for our exit from the EU from a position of strength, with | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
the economy doing very well. You want in the spring that a vote to | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
leave the European Union would leave us as the country weaker and worse | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
off, that it would have a chilling effect. Where you wrong? The economy | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
has proved to be very resilient. We went into the referendum, I think | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
the figures now show, stronger than we thought at the time. And the | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
economy has held up very well since. But we are going to have a period of | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
uncertainty ahead. On the official estimate, the value of all goods and | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
services in the economy, GDP, grew entirely because of the services | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
sector, up by 0.8%. Elsewhere, activity was down, with the | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
construction sector shrinking by 1.4%, but manufacturing Avril was | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
down by 1%. The economy may be slowing down but overall, the | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
economic effects of the Brexit vote have been nothing like what the | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
Treasury predicted. In fact, two exporters like this one, the | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
weakness of the pound has given them a big lift. But that benefit is | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
accompanied by a lingering anxiety. If we are not members of the single | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
market, that short-term gain could morph into long-term economic pain. | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
Across Sheffield, this company's had to pay much more for the circular | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
saw blades and other tools that imports from China. If it hadn't | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
announced higher prices, its profits would have been wiped out. We would | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
have stayed in bed because it would not have been worth coming to work | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
at that stage. We would not be making sufficient money to pay for | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
heating, lighting, wages and everything else. It was inevitable | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
we would have to put the prices up. In cutting interest rates to record | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
lows, the Bank of England sought to protect towns like Sheffield from | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
the chill of an economic winter. So far, at least, the climate has | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
proved unexpectedly mild. Andy Verity, BBC News, Sheffield. | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
Joining me is our political editor Laura Kuenssberg. | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
I want to explore the Nissan story further. If the company has given | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
assurances to Nissan, won't it set a precedent perhaps for other | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
industries? I think it will do, one minister said this government was | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
not a haggle and I think the governor tried to do two things and | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
succeeded both of them. They looked business in the eye and said they | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
might not be leaving the EU but they are not screaming off and trashing | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
everything behind them, they are not going to be reactionary, they're | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
going to be sensible and reasonable but secondary -- secondly, if things | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
go south, they might be able to use the cash from the taxpayer or | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
support from the government in order to make things sweet for the whole | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
industry. Maybe the promise of some kind of compensation. Maybe offers | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
of government grants of some kind if things go very wrong in this period | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
of uncertainty, as we prepare to leave the EU. I think other | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
industries certainly will be wondering, look, the car industry | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
asked and they got. Maybe we should do the same. But I think the other | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
thing it tells us, George, is that in this period where, frankly, the | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
government's ideas for Brexit are still so unknown, that ministers are | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
really prepared to sweat it out to persuade big companies that it is | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
worth staying in Britain right now and also that it will be worth being | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
here in the future. Thank you for joining us. | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
Aid workers say dozens of children were forced to sleep on the roadside | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
last night after the French authorities closed down | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
the so-called Jungle migrant camp in Calais. | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
The Home Secretary Amber Rudd has spoken to her French counterpart | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
and stressed the need for children who remain in Calais | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
It's the slowly strangling of life in the Jungle. French police moved | :10:29. | :10:45. | |
in today and then, this afternoon, sealed off the entry, reasserting | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
control here. So it seems the police's patience is starting to run | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
out. With each of these moves that they are making up here, they are | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
just taking a bit more territory, pushing the remaining refugees that | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
little bit further away from the Jungle. If you go on the bus to the | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
registration centre... Those outside have a choice. You are not 17 or | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
younger. You need to take the adult bus. They have a new destination, | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
refugee processing centres around France. But for some children, | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
uncertainty. Someone was killed in front of me. We found this | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
16-year-old from Sudan, papers proving his age but they are still | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
in the Jungle. I cannot enter inside. Yeah, the French people | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
reject me to go inside, to come inside. The police? The police, | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
yeah. So where did you stay last night? I sleep in the street. Just | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
out here? Yeah. The children are meant to be going here, into care. | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
Some will end up in the UK. Last night, a few were left in the open. | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
And activists filmed this, today, children being detained by police. | :12:00. | :12:07. | |
It is not clear why. The destruction of the Jungle is gathering pace. | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
Homs and hopes demolished. The fear is up to 100 children may still have | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
no place to go. Gilles de Beuve, from the police union, told us there | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
are charities working here, who could bring the children to the | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
police and they will get beds. But nearby were more boys, all under 17, | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
wondering if they face another night on the streets. The Jungle is gone | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
but a tangled web of problems and deals. Damian Grammaticas, BBC News, | :12:39. | :12:39. | |
Calais. -- problems in deals. President Vladimir Putin has | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
defended Russia's military strategy He said it was necessary | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
to crush the militants there Russia's air campaign in support | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
of the Syrian army's offensive has Poor morale among doctors could be | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
putting patients at risk. That's the warning from | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
the General Medical Council. Their annual report says | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
there is a "state of unease within the medical profession | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
across the UK that risks affecting First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
come under fire over her government's handling | :13:10. | :13:18. | |
of the NHS in Scotland. A new report from the spending | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
watchdog Audit Scotland has highlighted a series of challenges | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
including rising costs Our Scotland editor Sarah Smith | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
joins us from outside I'm told there were some pretty | :13:28. | :13:40. | |
lively exchanges in the parliament building behind you? | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
There certainly were. Nicola Sturgeon was accused of presiding | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
over a crisis in Scotland's NHS because the NHS missed seven out of | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
eight of the government's waiting time targets and the Audit Scotland | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
report also warned of worse to come. It said the NHS was struggling to | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
cope with increased demand, harsh saving targets and it also | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
criticised the failure to plan for the future. So the Scottish Tory | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
leader, Ruth Davidson, accused Nicola Sturgeon of presiding over a | :14:09. | :14:09. | |
scandal. Successive SNP health ministers, | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
including this First Minister when she was in the role, | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
have ducked the big challenges. But now we have an unavoidable | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
crisis on our hands because this government has preferred | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
sticking plaster solutions. Nicola Sturgeon herself was the | :14:20. | :14:32. | |
health minister between 2007 and 2012 so this is quite personal for | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
her. She fervently defended her government's record on the NHS. | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
Health service funding is higher than when we took office. | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
The number of people working in the health service is higher | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
than when we took office and waiting times are lower than | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
This is potentially a political problem for Nicola Sturgeon because | :14:48. | :14:56. | |
she quite often likes to boast about how the Scottish NHS is performing | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
better than that in England. But if people here start to lose confidence | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
in how she is running the health service, they could start to lose | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
confidence in her government as a whole. | :15:07. | :15:06. | |
Thank you for joining us. Nissan makes a new commitment | :15:07. | :15:14. | |
to its Sunderland plant Ministers call it a vote of | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
confidence in post-Brexit Britain. We speak to the winner of this | :15:18. | :15:27. | |
year's Great British Bake Off as millions share her | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
moment of triumph. Coming up in Sports day on BBC News, | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
England give a Test debut to Surrey He's been called up | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
for the second Test against Bangladesh starting | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
in Dhaka tomorrow. There are fears that women | :15:43. | :15:55. | |
in Northern Ireland are putting themselves at risk by taking | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
abortion pills which Under strict abortion laws | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
in Northern Ireland, a pregnancy can only be terminated if the life | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
or health of the mother According to the UN, | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
six nations worldwide have a total ban on abortion | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
under any circumstances. A further 38 - including | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
Northen Ireland - have very strict controls normally | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
only allowing abortion Chris Buckler has | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
this special report. This was a deliberately provocative | :16:21. | :16:39. | |
stunt by pro-abortion campaigners. Using a drone to deliver pills | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
capable of causing a pregnancy to be terminated and then taking the drugs | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
in full view of the police. But similar pills arrive in Northern | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
Ireland regularly, despite the strict laws that prevent any | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
abortion unless the mother's life or health is at risk. People are | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
travelling to England to have an abortion privately and those who | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
can't afford it are in a dangerous position or get the pills online. | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
There have been warnings, that people can't be sure what they're | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
ordering online. Purchasing and using the drugs is illegal across | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
the UK and Ireland. But pills we ordered arrived from India with | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
little documentation and we had them tested at Queen's University in | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
Belfast. As with all drugs, there are risks. In particular concern | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
would be the heavy bleeding and some women will require a blood | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
transfusion. If you're talking about heavy blood loss as a result of | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
these drugs, is that potentially life-threatening? Come pleatly yes. | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
-- Completely yes. We have learned at least one woman was charged by | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
police after she sought medical treatment. Groups like Amnesty have | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
been involved in a long campaign to try to get the laws relaxed here. | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
But abortion is a particularly sensitive issue in Northern Ireland. | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
And that probably reflects the close links between religion and politics. | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
We have been looking to the UK saying we don't want that to happen. | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
Our politicians have been holding against the tide of some people like | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
Amnesty and others trying to forcefully change our law. We made | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
several requests to speak to the justice minister of Northern | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
Ireland. She refused them all. But she was due to give interviews at | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
this charity event. The SNPCC invited you. When it became clear we | :18:43. | :18:51. | |
wanted to talk about abortion her press officer had us thrown out. Why | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
is she refusing to answer questions from abortion. I'm not answering any | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
for questions with this film. Northern Ireland's health minister | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
also refused to speak to us. Stormont's Government continues to | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
consider proposals for allowing abortion in cases of rape or incest | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
or where the baby won't survive beyond birth. Campaigners a majority | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
of people support change. But there is no sign of agreement among the | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
politicians. A free trade agreement | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
between the EU and Canada is finally set to go ahead after a Belgian | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
region that was holding up Activists protested against the deal | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
in front of the EU commission in Brussels just hours | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
after the breakthrough The landmark free trade | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
agreement is expected The Government has confirmed | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
that it's dropping plans for an Education Bill for this | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
session of parliament. The Bill was based on the white | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
paper which initially suggested all schools in England would have | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
to become academies. Our education editor | :19:58. | :19:59. | |
Branwen Jeffreys joins me. Why have ministers dropped it? | :20:00. | :20:09. | |
Really, they're doing a tidying up job and drawing a line under the | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
policies of David Cameron in many ways. So back in May, when this was | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
announced, the Government had already done a U-turn on the main | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
item in this Bill, that was forcing even good schools to become | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
academies. They dropped that after stiff opposition from within the | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
Conservative Party. Since then under Theresa May we have had other items | :20:33. | :20:40. | |
pushed back like a national funding formula and plans to make schools no | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
longer have parents as governors. So there wasn't much left to put in the | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
bill. So this clears the way for draft plans for Theresa May's big | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
education idea. That is more grammar schools and we could see the first | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
draft of legislation next spring. Thank you. | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
A mental health trust has been criticised for failing to help a | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
retired nurse who fell from a bridge. Marion Munns died last year. | :21:12. | :21:23. | |
Her family called the trust, but were told no one could help as the | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
office was closing. Marion was in the words of her daughter, a | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
beautiful person, a wife, mother and grandmother who died too soon. She | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
wasn't a fuddy-duddy pensioner. He was young in her years and she had | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
us, her grandchildren, there was no way that this should have ever | :21:47. | :21:54. | |
happened. A keen cyclist, fit and healthy, psychiatric problems | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
blighted her final 18 months. Last year her health deteriorated and her | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
daughters called a mental health nurse begging for help. She told me | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
because it was 4 o'clock they were closing and I should make my way | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
there, if I didn't like what I saw. Try and put a lid on it. Stay over | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
night and call 999. She couldn't protect her mother, who escaped and | :22:24. | :22:33. | |
disappeared. In the midsts of a psyche yachtic episode, she fell on | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
to the M27 motorway. An investigation by Southern health | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
found 13 failings in the care of Marion Munns. No wonder the trust | :22:44. | :22:52. | |
say the death was preventible. South health errors did not cause the | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
death said the core nor. Nothing could have stopped the night's | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
events. The trust has been beset by care failings and the Chief | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
Executive had to resign. Southern said care had improved and | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
apologised to the family. I'm an old man now, I'm looking at it, I keep | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
hearing this from governments and everyone, we will learn from this. | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
But do people ever learn? The family now want a public inquiry into all | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
deaths at Southern health to ensure others don't suffer as they have. | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
The Queen has unveiled a statue of her mother on a visit | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
The sculpture, by Phillip Jackson, sits | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
at the centre of a square named after the Queen Mother in the suburb | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
of the town of Dorchester that was the brainchild of | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
It's the culinary creation that's risen beyond all expectations, | :23:50. | :24:10. | |
with the final of the Great British Bake Off on the BBC watched | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
It's popular with all age groups - a third of the audience | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
And this year's shows even proved more popular | :24:18. | :24:20. | |

The winner of the Great British Bake-Off 2016 - Candice! PE teacher, | :24:39. | :24:48. | |
Candice Brown, the winner of this year's competition. A moment watched | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
around the country by a record 14.8 million viewers. Including of course | :24:57. | :25:08. | |
this year's bakers at a party hosted by losing semi-finalist Selasi. It | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
is the most popular show on British TV and winning it has made Candice a | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
face recognisable to millions. Winning means more to me than anyone | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
will realise. I hope it will enable me do is what want to do, which is | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
bake all the time. I love it. How do you feel about being the last win we | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
are Mel and Sue and Mary? I have had the best experience. I have always | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
watched it as a fan. I can't wait to the next series to see what they do | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
with it. Is so it is a programme that is changing channel, but has | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
changed TV and people's lives. Giving people the ingredients to | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
follow their dreams. The programme has been prepared and produced as | :25:58. | :26:06. | |
carefully as the bakers' creations. Rising into the biggest ratings | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
success story on TV. The next series will be on Channel 4. Millions of | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
fans waiting to see how big their appetite for the show will be in its | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
new home. Last night's finalists are now embarking on a brief book | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
signing tour, celebrating the show that brings happiness to those | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
taking part and those that consider themselves part of the bake-off | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
family. Who number at last count around 15 million. | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
Time for a look at the weather. Here's Helen Willetts. | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
From lovely cakes to lovely scenery. This was today on the Isle of Wight | :26:45. | :26:54. | |
and near there we had 17 degrees. Not quite as high as yet. But it is | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
well above average for October. We have more cloud today that is the | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
reason. But it stays mild. Just that rogue weather front in the north | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
that is giving some rain. But they will peter out tonight. Introducing | :27:10. | :27:16. | |
more breeze and cloud in the south. That should eliminate the fog | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
problems, but there will still be some patchy fog in the morning. In | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
the north a chilling night. For most of us throughout Friday and into the | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
weekend the south-westerly mild weather returns. Still good news if | :27:31. | :27:37. | |
you're on half term. Tomorrow will be cloudier with some hill fog in | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
Wales and northern England. If the sun brakes through, we will see the | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
temperatures soaring up to 17 degrees. To the north not such high | :27:48. | :27:54. | |
temperatures. But brighter skies. Just a few showers until the weather | :27:55. | :27:59. | |
front returns and it may be over Northern Ireland for much of the | :28:00. | :28:03. | |
day. For Saturday sit is further north and for most of us it is warm. | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
Early mist and fog there. With some brightness and sunshine and | :28:10. | :28:13. | |
temperatures above average. The difference on Sunday is the weather | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
front advanced further across Northern Ireland and Scotland. So | :28:18. | :28:24. | |
more rain here. But elsewhere a bit more sunshine in contrast. Bear in | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
mind that the clocks go back as well this weekend. Thank you. | :28:29. | :28:32. | |
