arrest at his house. I'm arresting you on suspicion | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
of the murder of Helen Bailey. He was stunned he'd | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
finally been caught out. For three months he'd | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
been living with the body of his wealthy partner | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
buried under the garage. My name's Helen Bailey and I'd | :02:28. | :02:31. | |

vanished from the home she shared with them and their father | :03:10. | :03:19. | |
in Royston in Hertfordshire. It took Ian Stewart | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
five days to report Hertfordshire police, | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
how can I help. Hello there, my partner has been | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
missing since Monday. Three months after Helen | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
Bailey's disappearance, police began searching the garage, | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
which was at a distance from the This laser imaging illustrates | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
how, underneath the hatched door there, | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
there was a well with a cesspit. The police started probing | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
and it was here below a layer of sewage | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
that they saw an arm. They had found Helen Bailey's body | :03:53. | :03:53. | |
and buried with her was her dog, There was even a possibility | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
because she had been drugged that she could have been alive | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
when Stewart put her down here. CCTV shows how within | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
hours Ian Stewart drove Was that duvet taken to the tip | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
because it had Helen's blood on it? In police interviews | :04:08. | :04:16. | |
Stewart said nothing. He probably smothered Helen Bailey | :04:17. | :04:17. | |
after drugging her over a He was set to benefit massively | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
from her ?4 million fortune. If Helen had written | :04:21. | :04:30. | |
a book of this story you He probably planned it | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
all from the day he met And in hindsight I don't | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
think he loved her at all And in hindsight I don't think | :04:38. | :04:47. | |
he loved her at all but Helen This is Ian Stewart's | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
late wife, Diane. Police are now | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
re-examining her sudden She'd suffered from epilepsy | :04:54. | :04:54. | |
and was said to have died from a Diane Stewart died of natural causes | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
in 2010, it would only be right and proper that we re-looked | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
at what the causes might be but of course it would be | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
part of our inquiries, At the family home in Bassingbourn, | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
in Cambridgeshire, Diane Diane was a very fit | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
and healthy person, the whole of Bassingbourn was in | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
shock, you could not believe it could have happened | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
because there was no sign or prior knowledge | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
that there was anything wrong | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
with Diane whatsoever. After his wife died, Ian Stewart | :05:30. | :05:30. | |
was seen with other women before he began his predatory | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
pursuit of Helen Bailey. As a writer, she was | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
used to studying human behaviour, but she never | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
learned the true character of the man who was closest to her | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
and who she thought she knew best. This was the same oath that crime | :05:46. | :06:00. | |
and tonight police face questions as to why it took them three months to | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
carry out a detailed search of the property. They say they were | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
following normal procedure in a missing person's inquiry. At the | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
heart of this story two families and Helen Bailey's brother John say both | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
have been left devastated by what Ian Stewart has done. He will be | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
sentenced tomorrow. Gene Kelly in Royston, thank you. | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
A political row has erupted over the compensation paid to the British | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
fighter with so-called Islamic State. | :06:27. | :06:27. | |
Ronald Fiddler was formerly a detainee at Guantanamo Bay | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
and is reported to have died in a suicide bombing in Iraq. | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
Lord Carlile - who reviewed terror laws for ten years - | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
said Fiddler should never have been paid a penny. | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
Tony Blair has defended himself from attacks | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
that he was responsible, saying the decision | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
to award the compensation was taken by the mainly | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
Our Deputy Political Editor John Pienaar reports. | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
The face of a fanatic, Britain, about to die and Isis suicide | :06:54. | :07:03. | |
bomber, detained, then freed, and reportedly paid ?1 million | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
compensation in taxpayers gush. Why? That is now a bitter dispute. Born | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
Ronald Fiddler he was among the suspected detainees held at Grant | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
and obey without charge until following British government | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
pressure he was freed to finally fight and die for so-called Islamic | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
state. Tonight his family insisted that compensation was lower than ?1 | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
million for what they called mental cruelty and inhuman treatment. It's | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
been hard, you know. He's gone now and I just hope that between him and | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
his maker he is, do whatever he wants to do. But today the papers | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
and some Tory MPs blamed the then Labour government for paying him and | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
letting her go. Utter hypocrisy, said Tony Blair, the critics had | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
demanded the freedom of the detainee. But Mr Blair has hit back. | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
He said in a statement he was not paid compensation by my government, | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
the compensation was agreed in 2010 by the Conservative government. The | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
fact is that this was always a very difficult situation where any | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
government would have to balance proper concern for civil liberties | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
and desire to protect our security and we were likely to be attacked | :08:17. | :08:26. | |
whatever course we took. It is just a matter of fact that compensation | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
was decided by the Conservative government, by Kenneth Clarke, the | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
Justice Secretary, not by a Labour government. According to this | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
intelligence assessment on WikiLeaks Fiddler was a suspected terrorist | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
associated with Al-Qaeda, yet he was compensated. There was evidence | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
against these people yet the only way the actions could have been | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
defended is if the intelligence and the sources of intelligence had been | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
brought out in open court. And that would have undermined the whole of | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
the efforts of the intelligence and security agencies. Jamal travelled | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
to Pakistan in 2001. He was arrested that you're in Afghanistan, from | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
there a transfer to Guantanamo Bay before repatriation and release in | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
2004. In 2010 he was paid compensation and in April 20 14th to | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
Syria via Turkey, to join Islamic State. Intelligence can now be used | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
in court without compromising sources after a change in the law | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
but hundreds of Britons have travelled to Iraq and Syria as | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
jihadistss and one former minister said that they are likely to include | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
some who have been monitored, perhaps even detained and | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
compensated in the past. Is that the stock market? There may be more like | :09:38. | :09:42. | |

A toddler who died after suffering a catalogue of injuries at the hands | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
of her legal guardian should never have been placed with her. | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
That's the finding of a serious case review which has concluded 18 month | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
was "invisible" to professionals - despite suffering over 150 injuries. | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
Kandyce Downer was jailed for life after being convicted | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
Our correspondent Sima Kotecha has more. | :10:04. | :10:14. | |
Keegan died in September 20 15. She had suffered a catalogue of injuries | :10:15. | :10:24. | |
and had 153 scars and bruises. Kandyce Downer was given custody of | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
Keegan earlier that year. Last May she was convicted of the toddler's | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
murder. Today a serious case review concluded that Keegan's death could | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
not have been predicted. But it said she had been "Invisible" to | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
professionals after being placed in Kandyce Downer's care, that | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
insufficient discussion had taken place between involved agencies and | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
that there was too much focus on Kandyce Downer's once rather than | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
the needs of the child. An Ofsted report released last year said | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
children's services in Birmingham were still failing to protect | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
vulnerable children. They have been rated as inadequate since 2008. Can | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
you generally put your hand in your heart and say that children in your | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
care are safe? We still have inadequate rating for safeguarding | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
survey are not safe enough. They are getting safer. We are making the | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
system stronger. But we've got some way to go, we want to be | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
outstanding. Last year the BBC highlighted that some special | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
guardians like Kandyce Downer were not being vetted properly. To date's | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
report said her assessment had been flawed and incomplete. Vetting is | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
absolutely key. We need to be absolutely certain that the person | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
applying to be a special Guardian is suitable, that they | :11:47. | :12:02. | |
will make an appropriate guardian for the child and crucially a safe | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
guardian for the child as well. The council says as a result of cases | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
like this it has made the vetting process more robust. But Kandyce | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
Downer's assessment has been labelled superficial today and has | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
cost and 18 month year old her life. Sima Kotecha, BBC News, Birmingham. | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
The BBC is to create a new digital television channel for Scotland. | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
It will broadcast from 7 in the evening until midnight | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
and will cost around ?30 million a year. | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
There had been calls for a separate Six o'clock News | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
for Scotland on BBC One - but this was rejected in favour | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
of a Scottish news hour on this new channel. | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
Our Scotland Editor Sarah Smith is in Glasgow. | :12:33. | :12:33. | |
How's this announcement being received there? | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
Well, it was a complete surprise to everyone in Scotland but it has been | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
broadly welcomed by the SNP and by the Scottish Government who have | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
been asking for a separate Scottish TV channel figures. People are | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
demanding a separate six o'clock news for Scotland say they are | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
disappointed but they will get an hour-long programme produced and | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
presented from Glasgow at 9pm on the new channel. | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
There is soon to be a lot more BBC in Scotland. Responding to demands | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
for more spending and more dedicated news, Tony Hall came to Glasgow to | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
announce a whole new channel. Does this mean you feel that what BBC | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
Scotland has been offering so far hasn't given audience what they | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
want? Khan no, I want to give audiences in Scotland more choice | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
and I believe the excitement of saying that we have a new channel | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
for Scotland, what will it be, how will reschedule it, how will we make | :13:26. | :14:04. | |
sure we get dramas, comedies, journalism, talk shows and at the | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
heart of it this one hour news from Scotland, that's an exciting | :14:09. | :14:10. | |
proposition for viewers in Scotland. The new channel will run programmes | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
like the adventure show along with drama, comedy, factual and | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
entertainment programmes, made in Scotland for a Scottish audience. | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
On-air from 7pm until midnight every day but why does Scotland need its | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
own dedicated channel? At the most basic level Scotland is a nation, | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
not a region like Lancashire or whatever. It's also important to | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
understand that Scotland has its state, legal system, education | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
system, artistic community is, all of which are befitting of a small | :14:26. | :14:27. | |
modern nation and they are not being reflected well now through the BBC. | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
The new channel will have a budget of ?30 million a year. There will be | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
one hour-long news programme at nine o'clock every night, due to launch | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
in the summer of 2018. The long-running debate about whether | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
Scotland needs its own separate news programme at 6pm on BBC One is now | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
over. Viewers in within its state, legal system, education system, | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
artistic community is, all of which are befitting of a small modern | :14:43. | :14:44. | |
mission and they are not being reflected well now through the BBC. | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
The new channel will have a budget of ?30 million a year. There will be | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
one hour-long news programme at nine o'clock every night, due to launch | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
in the sum of 2018. The long-running debate about whether Scotland needs | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
its own separate news programme at 6pm on BBC One is now over. Viewers | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
in Scotland will get Scottish Nine on the new channel instead of a | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
Scottish Six which does not satisfy everyone. Obviously I welcome new | :15:01. | :15:02. | |
jobs and new investment in BBC Scotland. I am however disappointed | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
the BBC Scottish Nine on the new channel instead of a Scottish Six | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
which does not satisfy everyone. Obviously I welcome new jobs and new | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
investment in BBC Scotland. I am however disappointed the we know. | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
Nothing the BBC does will never has decided not to go ahead with the | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
separate Scottish Six on BBC One because I think this is exactly the | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
time for a launch of this new programme with all the political | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
developments we know. Nothing the BBC does will never please Sarah | :15:20. | :15:31. | |
Smith, BBC News, and as the corporation has to make cuts | :15:32. | :15:33. | |
elsewhere viewers in other parts of the country might wonder why | :15:34. | :15:34. | |
Scotland deserves special treatment. The fiance of the children's author | :15:35. | :15:39. | |

weekend's Rugby Union Six Nations Championship, | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
as George North looks set It's London Fashion Week, | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
the annual event where high fashion and new designs for the High Street | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
are shown on the catwalks. But how much does the fashion | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
industry cater to its customers With a collective spending | :16:11. | :16:12. | |
power of ?249 billion, they are a huge source | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
of potential revenue. But lots of High Street shops | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
still aren't making it easy for disabled customers | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
to spend their money. As part of the BBC's | :16:23. | :16:23. | |
Disability Works Week, our correspondent Nikki Fox takes | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
a closer look. We are not used to seeing | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
difference on the catwalk. But on Friday, two disabled models | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
opened London Fashion Week We approached the styling | :16:36. | :16:37. | |
and the casting of this collection They have the spending power | :16:38. | :16:47. | |
that no one seems to be That's a big enough reason, | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
to be honest, to begin with. And, again, our kind of overriding | :16:52. | :17:01. | |
conclusion is why not? High-end fashion might be | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
out of reach for many, but there is money to be made | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
on the high street. The Government says disabled people | :17:07. | :17:29. | |
and their families have ?249 billion a year spending power, | :17:30. | :17:40. | |
according to latest figures from the Department | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
for Work and Pensions. Sophie Morgan designed this | :17:43. | :17:43. | |
wheelchair for a sitting mannequin. I have not seen it in a shop window | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
in about five years. During the Paralympics in 2012 | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
she got a product into a big high street store but it was taken out | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
as soon as the games ended. She thinks now is the right time | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
to give it another go. I wanted this chair to be a symbol | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
of inclusion from the shop so that I could come past this shop | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
and I know that this shop will have thought about how to style | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
somebody in a wheelchair. But furthermore that their shop | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
is accessible and they have changing It is not just about seeing | :18:10. | :18:11. | |
disability on the high street. Making sure disabled | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
people can actually get into shops so that they can | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
spend their hard earned cash. Exclusive figures show that | :18:19. | :18:20. | |
of the nearly 1300 fashion retailers the organisation DisabledGo visited, | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
23% had no step-free access. And 90% were unable to offer | :18:24. | :18:25. | |

to ensure disabled people have equal Which is why those behind this | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
recent survey are disappointed. There were things that everyone | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
could do to improve their access - it could be simply, you know, | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
allowing your staff time It could be making sure your | :18:39. | :18:40. | |
aisles are kept clear. It could be providing a hearing loop | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
or a water bowl for assistance dogs. The British Retail Consortium says | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
shop owners can face restrictions on making adjustments | :18:48. | :18:50. | |

internationally to get recognised, and this is the first time we have | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
been recognised in the UK. The Supreme Court has upheld | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
a controversial rule preventing British citizens on below-average | :19:02. | :19:10. | |
incomes from bringing their foreign spouses into the country | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
from outside Europe. Judges rejected an appeal | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
by families who argued the threshold of ?18,600 a year breached | :19:16. | :19:18. | |

by police as more intricate than a pipe bomb and they believe it was | :19:44. | :19:47. | |

It's a question frequently asked - is there life out there? | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
Well, scientists have discovered seven planets in a solar system 40 | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
They say these worlds lie within a temperate zone which means | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
they could have water, and conceivably life. | :22:04. | :22:05. | |
Here's our science editor David Shukman with the story. | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
And artist impression of a startling discovery deep in space. Around a | :22:09. | :22:19. | |
faint and distant star much weaker than our sun, a collection of planet | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
surprisingly similar to Earth. In all seven of these worlds have been | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
spotted and astronomers think it will change how we look at the night | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
sky. An array of telescopes point to one spot in space, and scientists | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
were looking for tiny clues about the light of a particular star | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
becoming dimmer on a regular basis as planets orbited in front of it. | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
They can't see these new worlds but they know that they are there. We | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
are extremely excited, this is the biggest amount of planets we have | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
found in one go that looked like the Earth in composition, size and mass. | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
All seven are far enough to the star and close enough to hold liquid | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
water, and that is just incredible. This is the latest revelation in a | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
wave of discoveries of the past 25 years of new worlds that exist in | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
solar systems beyond our own. The total of these distant planet is now | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
stands at well over 3000. What makes this discovery so unusual is the | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
sheer number of new worlds spotted in one go. Seven in all, and | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
crucially they are just the right temperature for liquid water to | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
exist at the surface. Three of them are in what is called the habitable | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
zone, raising the tantalising possibility that they could | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
conceivably horsed life, but we will not be getting there in a hurry. | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
They are 40 light-years away and to reach them using the Rockets we have | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
now would take something like 700,000 years. There is so much to | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
find out about these worlds, whether the artists' impressions are right, | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
whether it is possible the conditions for life do exist. And | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
astronomers said they will be a huge effort to try to find out. The more | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
we look, the more planets we find and the more earthlike planets we | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
find, but this is especially exciting because this, the ultra | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
cool start we have discovered, they are quite populous | :24:09. | :24:20. | |
throughout our galaxy and it is the first time we have found planets | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
orbiting a star like this and we have found seven of them. The best | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
hope lies with huge new telescopes which will come into service soon, | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
improving the chances of getting a really close look at these alien | :24:30. | :24:31. | |
worlds, to see for example if they do have oceans, and maybe, just | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
maybe, discover if they have life. David Shukman, BBC News. | :24:35. | :24:42. | |
She was renowned for her style and elegance, | :24:43. | :24:44. | |
and now some of Princess Diana's dresses are to go on display at her | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
The collection will include an ink blue gown she wore when she danced | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
with the actor John Travolta at the White House in 1985. | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
The exhibition coincides with the 20th | :24:56. | :24:56. | |
anniversary of her death, as our royal correspondent | :24:57. | :24:58. | |
This is some flash photography from the start. | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
Her public image was in so many ways defined | :25:02. | :25:03. | |
She was one of world's most photographed women, | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
and many of the world's top designers clamoured to dress her. | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
The results were frequently eye-catching - dresses that have | :25:10. | :25:11. | |
And now, 20 years after Diana's death, 25 of those dresses have | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
been brought together, for an exhibition at her former | :25:16. | :25:17. | |
They chart the evolution of a relatively demure newlywed, | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
through to her emergence on the international stage, | :25:24. | :25:25. | |
with, outwardly at least, much greater confidence | :25:26. | :25:27. | |
So here are some of the famous dresses. | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
The one that she wore to dance with John Travolta, | :25:36. | :25:37. | |
and others that were part of her wardrobe in the 1990s. | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
By the time she is wearing this dress, she is very confident | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
in her own sense of style - we are seeing a Diana | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
who has risen above those seasonal changes in fashion. | :25:49. | :25:50. | |
And she has a timeless elegance - she knows what suits her | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
Few would disagree with that, and the exhibition organisers can be | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
confident that the crowds will come from around the world to experience | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
Interest in Diana remains considerable, despite the passage | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
of years, but one imagines that her family would hope | :26:05. | :26:06. | |
that she will be remembered for much more than just the dresses she wore. | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
So do the organisers feel comfortable about perpetuating | :26:10. | :26:11. | |
Diana herself didn't like to be known as a clotheshorse, | :26:12. | :26:21. | |
however she did understand the language of fashion very well | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
and she used clothes to help her do the job at hand. | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
She was a very proud ambassadoress for British fashion | :26:28. | :26:29. | |
as Princess of Wales, but she also used clothes to help | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
They were the essential props which helped this sometimes insecure | :26:33. | :26:42. | |
young woman to face the world and win its admiration for her image | :26:43. | :26:45. | |

Tomasz Schafernaker is here. Tell us all about Doris. Dark and stormy | :26:58. | :27:12. | |
Doris. We will have to batten down, brace ourselves and be steady with | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
that brolly. Watch the trees as well because the winds will be really | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
strong. At the moment, not much of a storm because it is still in its | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
developing stage and that is not good news because as it moves across | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
the UK it will be at its peak when it is developing and those vicious | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
winds will slice the UK, and that is when we will see the worst of the | :27:33. | :27:44. | |
weather. Tomorrow morning onwards and through the course of the | :27:45. | :27:46. | |
afternoon. There are two elements to the storm, snow first, rain and | :27:47. | :27:49. | |
wind. The snow will fall across southern and some central parts of | :27:50. | :27:51. | |
Scotland. An amber warning is in force for snow. This is Scotland, | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
and in some parts we could be waking up in Scotland to seems like this, | :27:56. | :27:57. | |
particularly across the hills which is where we will be getting a lot of | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
the snow. This is when the storm is at its peak, slamming into | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
north-western parts of England, nor the Wales, to the Midlands and also | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
into East Anglia. Another amber warning from the Met Office for high | :28:11. | :28:14. | |
winds. Let's look at the winds from the morning onwards. We often speak | :28:15. | :28:19. | |
about 70, 80 mph gusts in the winter, but these winds will be | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
realised in land. We are not speaking about the north-west coast | :28:24. | :28:26. | |
of Scotland and the Northern Isles where we often get these winds. This | :28:27. | :28:29. | |
potentially affect our infrastructure so we are speaking | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
about the potential for high sided vehicles to be blown over, perhaps a | :28:34. | :28:45. | |
little damage here and there but for some it could be proper structural | :28:46. | :28:48. | |
damage, so really take care tomorrow. Around about three o'clock | :28:49. | :28:50. | |
in the afternoon, Lincolnshire and East Anglia bearing the brunt of the | :28:51. | :28:52. | |
storm and then later on Thursday into Friday night, it comes down and | :28:53. | :28:55. | |
some of us probably picking up the bits and pieces. Take care tomorrow. | :28:56. | :28:57. | |
