Storm Doris causes havoc across the UK - | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
Railway lines are blocked by fallen trees, an entire rail | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Winds of up to 95 miles an hour close roads and bridges. | :00:16. | :00:23. | |
This plane battled through the winds but many flights are grounded. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |

his new Mercedes as incredible, as he and team-mate Valtteri Bottas | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
look ahead to the upcoming F1 season. | :01:07. | :01:26. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
Doris has stormed her way across the UK, leaving havoc in her wake. | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
Winds of up to 95mph have caused one death as a woman was killed | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
Trees have been brought down, taking power lines with them and blocking | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
Nearly all rail operators are reporting delays. | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
Planes have been grounded, the Port of Liverpool was shut, | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
and the strong gusts have forced the closure of bridges | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
Thousands of homes have been left without power. | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
Danny Savage is in Retford in Nottinghamshire. | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
Danny, for some time today, the entire network | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
Fiona, this is the east Coast Main line behind me, which should be busy | :02:03. | :02:12. | |
with services at this time of day, but they are few and far between. To | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
be fair to virgin east coast, they try to keep things going, but by | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
mid-afternoon, they had to say to passengers, do not travel to date. | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
Storm Doris swept from West to east across the country. The strongest | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
winds were fairly short lived in individual locations, but that | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
didn't stop them causing damage, and there has been one fatality. | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
The most serious incident today was in the Midlands - | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
a woman was killed by flying debris in Wolverhampton city centre. | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
She died at the scene after suffering fatal head injuries. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
The most widespread problem was travel disruption. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
This was Euston station - the red Virgin trains | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
The train's been cancelled, so I'm unsure how I'm going to get home. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
I might have to stay an extra night, I'm not sure, which would be | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
We didn't know until we got to the station that all the Virgin | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
trains had been cancelled, so we're stranded here, | :03:06. | :03:06. | |
and we can't get back to Manchester, back home again. | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
And we do need to get back home today. | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
There was no hope of 120 mph on the East Coast Main Line - | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
there was a 50 mph speed limit because of the wind before Virgin | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
eventually asked people not to travel today. | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
And spare a thought for those aboard planes landing | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
in strong crosswinds - a bumpy ride was assured for | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
arrivals here at Manchester Airport, with some planes needing more | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
than one attempt to get on the ground safely. | :03:32. | :03:41. | |
The sea off the west coast of the UK turned white, | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
whipped up by storm-force winds, caused by what forecasters | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
Storm Doris is an example of a weather bomb, a rapidly | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
intensifying area of low pressure that had brought severe gales | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
We've already had wind gusts over 90 mph, we've had | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
disruption to power supplies, we've also had | :04:02. | :04:02. | |
Those kind of strength winds can easily knocked trees down and cause | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
And never mind the fallen lamp post on the right here - | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
look at the lucky escape this driving instructor | :04:15. | :04:15. | |
A scene repeated elsewhere, by the force of Storm Doris. | :04:16. | :04:29. | |
Danny Savage, BBC News, Nottinghamshire. | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
Our correspondent Sarah Bishop is in Wolverhampton, | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
where a woman has been killed by flying debris. | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
Well, we still have no official confirmation tonight as to who | :04:42. | :04:54. | |
exactly this woman was who was so tragically killed here in | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
Wolverhampton earlier this morning. In the last hour, the authorities | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
have moved to take away the piece of wood that struck out, this hefty | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
piece of wood, about three feet in length. The Ambulance Service say it | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
struck a soundly on the head, causing major trauma, and that she | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
was confirmed dead at the scene. We have been hearing on the ground all | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
this afternoon from witnesses that this piece of wood that hit the | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
woman they had been part of a larger structure, possibly an air vent some | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
of which came off the roof behind me, slipped off the canopy of | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
Starbucks there and fell on this poor woman, just at the moment that | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
she happened to be in Wolverhampton city centre. A tragic accident. Star | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
Bucks say that they had been shocked and deeply saddened by this terrible | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
incident. They have been helping police with their investigation, and | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
in fact, West Midlands Police are due to name this woman first thing | :05:48. | :05:48. | |
in the morning. Sarah, thank you. Net migration to the UK has dropped | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
to 273,000 in the year to September. It means 49,000 fewer people came | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
to live in to the UK than left it. The figures are the first | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
to include migration estimates But as our home editor, | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
Mark Easton, reports, for some industries, | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
the drop in migration So you need to cross the wall, | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
the gate, sorry, and on the right hand you will find the | :06:10. | :06:19. | |
Minster Cathedral. Not that there's too much, | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
but that there soon York's tourist industry is booming, | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
now worth a remarkable ?500 million a year, | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
and supporting a record 20,000 But growth here, as in much | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
of the hospitality industry, Romanians change the hotel beds, | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
the waiter is Spanish. And your pot of tea. | :06:39. | :06:49. | |
Thank you very much. Enjoy! In fact, with very low | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
unemployment in York, businesses like this cannot grow | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
or even survive without a supply A quarter of British hospitality | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
businesses say they've currently got vacancies that they're | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
struggling to fill. With the UK labour market close | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
to capacity, and the prospect of a squeeze on EU migrant labour, | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
there are real concerns It would create a staffing crisis, | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
to get to a point where we can't fill that resource with a European | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
worker, then there's a big gap For York as an example, | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
there isn't enough of them around. The latest figures show a big job | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
in the numbers coming to work in Britain from countries | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
like Poland, down 16%, Hungary, More are coming from Romania, | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
up 11%, and Bulgaria, up 8%, but many experts predict those | :07:37. | :07:45. | |
arrivals will start Now it's beginning to change | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
to Germany or beginning to learn more German, | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
because the UK is beginning to be less attractive for young | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
people coming to work. Some argue Britain needs to rid | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
itself of its addiction to cheap migrant labour and employers should | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
do more to train and recruit On this Yorkshire carrot farm, | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
with a turnover of ?35 million, Eastern Europeans make up around 80% | :08:09. | :08:17. | |
of the staff. If we didn't have an access | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
to non-UK labour, we just I wouldn't even attempt | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
to try and run it. I'd have to stop, it isn't that | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
I want to stop, I'd have no choice. Take away 80% of my work | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
force, how can I operate? The UK will always be | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
a welcoming place for people who want to come here, | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
work here and contribute It's just that there's no support | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
for uncontrolled immigration. The aim is still to cut net | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
migration by almost two thirds, but Government has conceded it | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
will take years before British citizens do jobs currently filled | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
by migrants in areas Turning Britain into a low-migration | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
economy won't be easy. After three years of protests, | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
lengthy debates by MPs and an eleventh-hour bid to scupper | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
it in the House of Lords, the first phase of the controversial | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
High Speed Two rail project has Construction will now begin | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
on the line from London to Birmingham, but it will be nearly | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
a decade before passenger Burton Green, a rural village with | :09:23. | :09:38. | |
almost 300 homes. HS2 will travel straight through the middle of this | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
place. Today, the high-speed rail project's London- Birmingham route | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
has been given the green light. Some here believe it couldn't happen soon | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
enough. So, this is where we live, just here. This is our... Like Alan | :09:53. | :10:01. | |
Marshall, a man who worked in railway transport for more than 35 | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
years. The West Midlands as a region is booming at the moment, with huge | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
development in the motorcar industry, in particular, especially | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
jaguar- Land Rover. This will contribute to improving access, make | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
it easier for people to get to places of work more quickly, and | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
with the speed, more people will travel, because speed always | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
attracts. The HS2 trains are expected to be a lot quicker, with | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
speeds of up to 225 mph. The journey time will be cut by more than 30 | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
minutes, and the line will be complete by 2026. This pathway, | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
which used to be a railway track, will be replaced by the HS2 line. | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
Now that the plans had been given the go-ahead, construction will | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
begin in the spring. The centreline of the railway is approximately 160 | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
metres from our boundary fence. But many here are furious, and those who | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
have campaigned to stop the line from happening are now changing | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
their focus. Mike Lynch lives 160 metres from where the new railway | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
track will be. From our point of view, the only thing we can | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
campaign... The only to make things we can campaign for without feeling | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
that we will be in anyway successful is mitigation, some form or measure | :11:21. | :11:29. | |
that will reduce the potential noise levels, and also, the seven years of | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
inconvenience while they build it. The cost of the entire project, | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
including the second phase, will be ?56 billion. For those who have been | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
against this from the outset, today's news will be difficult to | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
digester. Sima Kotecha, BBC News, Warwickshire. | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
The fiance of children's author Helen Bailey, | :11:51. | :11:51. | |
who murdered her and dumped her body in a cesspit, has been | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
Ian Stewart was convicted of secretly drugging | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
and suffocating Ms Bailey in a plot to inherit her money. | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
Her body was found under their garage in Hertfordshire last July. | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
The judge said it was "difficult to imagine a more heinous crime". | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
Voters are at the polls today in two Parliamentary by-elections | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
in Staffordshire and Cumbria following the resignations | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
of the Labour MPs in Stoke on Trent Central and Copeland. | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
The polls are open until 10pm tonight. | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
The results are expected around 3am tomorrow. | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
Iraqi security forces have made a breakthrough in their offensive | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
against so-called Islamic State in Iraq's second city, Mosul. | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
They've taken the city's airport, a key staging point in the battle | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
to drive militants from the western half of the city. | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
Our correspondent Quentin Sommerville was there | :12:36. | :12:36. | |
as Iraqi government troops fought their way in. | :12:37. | :12:48. | |
Before the attack came the hour strikes, rockets and artillery. -- | :12:49. | :12:56. | |
the air strikes. It is the fifth day of the offensive to to rip the | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
leg-mac retake westernmost all. Slowly, the forces make their way | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
past a suspected IDS car bomb that lies torched on the route. These | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
armoured columns are now moving forward to muzzle airport. The | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
attack for the airport is underway. All night, we have heard coalition | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
aircraft and Iraqi artillery slammed this area just the north of us. In | :13:21. | :13:32. | |
daylight, they didn't let up. This factory flew the IDS flag yesterday. | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
Today, it burned. -- the Islamic State flag. In less than four hours, | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
Iraqi forces had breached the airport perimeter, but Islamic State | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
fought back. First, a huge roadside bomb. It killed an Iraqi officer. | :13:51. | :14:00. | |
Despite the air strikes, IS fighters were still putting up resistance. | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
This is the main road to the airport will stop there is a serious gun | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
battle going on at the moment. -- the road to the airport. | :14:15. | :14:26. | |
The more they advance, the more civilians they meet, and they are in | :14:27. | :14:41. | |
a wretched state. This man says, they are dead in this house, all | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
dead. My brother has already gone to the camp. He is heartbroken. Six of | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
his family were killed in an air strike. This is the last open ground | :14:51. | :15:01. | |
before westernmost all. Iraqi forces are now less than a mile away. They | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
are also in range of IS mortars from within the city, but it is Islamic | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
State that is under threat. Most will airport may be in ruins, but | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
more importantly, it is back in Government hands. Over there, it is | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
the Iraqi flag flying on the airfield again. This is a landmark | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
moment. Iraqi forces now have the Islamic State group on the run. IS | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
might transform itself into something else, but right now, here | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
in Iraq, we are witnessing the final days of the caliphate. Quentin | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
Somerville, BBC News, Mosul airport. Storm Doris roars across the UK - | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
one woman is killed, and there's travel chaos | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
on the roads and rail. And coming up, making a mint - | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
but are businesses prepared Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News, | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
can Spurs get past Gent at Wembley this evening and into | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
last 16 of the Europa League? They trail the Belgian side 1-0 | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
in the tie. Smoke alarms are essential | :16:05. | :16:14. | |
to our safety in the home. Adults are woken by them | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
if they go off in the night, but forensic scientists and fire | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
investigators are warning children Now a new alarm sound has been | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
developed with a lower-pitched tone and a woman's voice, which is | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
thought to be much more effective. Our medical correspondent | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
Fergus Walsh reports. what does it take to | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
wake a sleeping child? Outside her boys' bedrooms, | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
Melanie Wilkins is about to show me. Three of her four boys | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
remain fast asleep. Your children are like gold, | :16:47. | :16:55. | |
the most precious thing, and it's a horrible thought | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
to think that if that was real, your children are gone. | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
That's it. In tests, Derbyshire Fire Service | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
and Dundee University found 27 out of 34 children never | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
woke to the sound of a smoke alarm, They are not mini adults - | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
they are very different. the way their brains work | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
during sleep is different. The way they actually | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
interpret what sounds So we have to look | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
at them differently. In a house fire, | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
as this demonstration shows, This is a powerful reminder | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
of the speed with which a house fire can spread, | :17:37. | :17:48. | |
and the threat from toxic smoke. and one which will wake you, | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
is so important. In 2012, these six children died | :17:54. | :18:03. | |
in a house fire in Derby, set deliberately | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
by their father, Mick Philpott. Dave Koss was one of | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
the fire investigators. Two smoke alarms had failed | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
to rouse the children. It made him determined to come up | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
with something better. I don't like to use | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
the word "crusade", It's quite heart-wrenching | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
when you see children die in a house fire, | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
and it's even more upsetting when you think you could have | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
prevented that from happening. with a lower pitched tone | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
and a human voice. ALARM VOICE: Wake up! | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
The house is on fire! Which researchers think | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
is more likely And which Melanie is | :18:38. | :18:39. | |
going to demonstrate. ALARM VOICE: Wake up! | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
The house is on fire! 13-year-old Jack is awake | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
immediately. They want 500 families | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
to test the prototype. We're just doing some | :18:51. | :18:58. | |
testing for the fire, OK? Fire officers stress | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
that standard smoke alarms They do wake adults, | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
but parents need to know it could be up to them | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
to wake their children Thousands of cannabis plants have | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
been discovered by police growing in an underground nuclear bunker | :19:14. | :19:22. | |
near Salisbury in Wiltshire. The crop has an estimated street | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
value of more than ?1 million. Officers say the plants | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
were being grown in 20 large rooms, with almost every part of the bunker | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
dedicated to what they described as the "wholesale | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
production" of cannabis. Six men have been arrested. | :19:36. | :19:36. | |
Jon Kay reports. Hidden in the Wiltshire countryside, | :19:37. | :19:52. | |
RGHQ Chilmark, a huge and ground bunker built to protect Britain's | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
leaders in a nuclear war. -- underground. If we go in here, mind | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
your head... This afternoon, police showed us the vast cannabis growing | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
operation they uncovered here overnight. How would you describe | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
what you have discovered here? A huge, massively professional setup, | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
the biggest cannabis factory farm I have seen in 25 years of service. To | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
find this in the heart of rural Wiltshire is quite incredible. | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
Police found 20 large rooms filled with plants and equipped with | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
specially installed equipment. Every room has got this set up in it, the | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
venting at the top to withdraw the fumes, take that outside, contain | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
the heat. Officer says huge amounts of power have been secretly siphoned | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
off the National Grid here. In several rooms, you see signs of | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
people sleeping and working here. This was the old canteen, still | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
being used last night, it seems, years after the bunker was sold off | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
by the Ministry of Defence. Six men were arrested, three of them on | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
suspicion of human trafficking offences. In this room, police have | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
found hundreds of bags of old compost, and they suggest the bunker | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
has been used for cultivation for months. This is what the bungalow | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
like when it was filmed by the BBC during the Cold War, with walls that | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
almost two feet thick, police described it as almost impenetrable. | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
They have been monitoring the site for some time and swooped when they | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
saw the doors opening last night. They say local people had reported | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
suspicious activity and a powerful smell coming from the vents. Jon | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
Kay, BBC News, Wiltshire. The England and Manchester United | :21:33. | :21:34. | |
captain, Wayne Rooney, has announced he's to stay | :21:35. | :21:36. | |
with his club. He'd been linked with a possible | :21:37. | :21:38. | |
move to China after his agent But he says he'll be staying | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
at Manchester United, We're often being told | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
about the benefits of eating at least five portions | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
of fruit and veg a day. Double that to ten and | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
you could significantly reduce your risk of heart disease | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
and cancer, as providing the greatest | :21:54. | :21:55. | |
protection against disease. that eating more fruit and | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
vegetables helps you live longer? The study by Imperial College London | :22:00. | :22:11. | |
estimates almost 8 million premature by eating ten portions | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
of fruit and veg a day. That is a lot more | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
than the current recommendation A portion is 80 grams, | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
or three ounces, equivalent to a small banana, an apple, | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
or three heaped tablespoons of spinach, and researchers | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
found eating ten a day How many pieces of fruit | :22:36. | :22:37. | |
or vegetables would you I don't eat none, no. | :22:38. | :22:48. | |
You never eat any? No, the last time I ate | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
vegetables was two weeks ago. I've got four kids, | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
there's no way I can afford to give them ten a day | :22:57. | :23:04. | |
each, that is 40 items. The research found the risk | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
of cancer was lowered by eating vegetables such as spinach and | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
yellow peppers, for heart disease and strokes, apples | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
and oranges are recommended. Compared to eating no fruit | :23:14. | :23:15. | |
and vegetables at all, eating ten portions a day gives | :23:16. | :23:17. | |
the greatest health protection, But if that seems too difficult, | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
the good news is you can get most of that protection | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
from eating five portions. But some people think they can | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
get benefits in other ways. We're doing | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
the hot chilli challenge, The Royal Mint | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
is to release a new ?1 coin, The 12-sided coin is out | :23:39. | :23:46. | |
next month, on March 28th. The old coin will continue | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
to be legal tender, As people are urged to check | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
beneath the sofa cushions are we and businesses | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
going to be ready? This is the build-up - | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
400 a minute per machine. The Royal Mint near Cardiff | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
working day and night to be ready | :24:12. | :24:13. | |
to launch the 12-sided pound, the old one | :24:14. | :24:15. | |
no longer fit for purpose. Well, the current ?1 coin has been | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
in circulation for a long time, and it's becoming | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
very susceptible to fakes. about one in every 30 | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
are counterfeit. What we think we've got here, | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
in our new ?1 coin, is the most secure coin | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
in the world. Checking the security features, | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
which include making it from two metals, some tiny lettering, | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
symbols which change in the light, the edges alternately | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
rough and smooth. To strike the coins, | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
they have to join together an outer and an inner, | :24:48. | :24:49. | |
and they're doing it at full tilt. The Royal Mint reckons | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
that it's already halfway of producing one and | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
a half billion ?1 coins. And for the first time, we have | :24:56. | :25:06. | |
been able to take it out on show. It's lighter, isn't it? Yeah. | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
Can I feel? Oh, yeah, much lighter, yeah. | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
It doesn't feel real. ?400 million of ?1 coins | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
people have in their homes. Right. | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
What are you going to do it? We're going to take them back. | :25:21. | :25:22. | |
You'll have to. Yes, definitely. I like that | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
it's a different shape, But they don't like it so much here, | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
Cardiff's White Water Centre, because of the lockers | :25:32. | :25:39. | |
they put their clothes in, What we have to do is change | :25:40. | :25:41. | |
each one of these mechanisms, take about a good ten | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
or 15 minutes to change. You've got more than 100 | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
lockers, so what, ?1500? Yeah, it's a lot of money | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
that we could spend elsewhere. And parking meters | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
will have to be reprogrammed, along with shopping trolleys | :26:01. | :26:02. | |
and vending machines and amusement arcades, at a cost | :26:03. | :26:04. | |
of ?120 million - and maybe more. But most agree it's time | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
for a more secure pound. there are nearly 500 million | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
new coins now stockpiled, Simon Gompertz, | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
BBC News, South Wales. We were talking rather weather at | :26:20. | :26:33. | |
the top of the programme, let's take a closer look with Tomasz | :26:34. | :26:35. | |
Schafernaker, you won't us yesterday. | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
Such a busy day in the weather centre, all that disruption across | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
the country, we're probably going to be waving goodbye to this storm, off | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
you go, we don't want it, a really nasty one. It is sweeping across the | :26:50. | :26:56. | |
UK, right now it is across Belgium and Holland, so disrupting areas | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
there. But for us, the worst is over. Still very blowy in the | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
south-east, these are the kind of gusts we have had. Even in London, | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
62 mph. We get winds like that during the winter, but usually on | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
the coast. Inland, that is when we have problems. We have spectacular | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
pictures, even in Durham, further north, we felt the effects of the | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
storm, and some pretty scenes. I will get out of the way to show you | :27:22. | :27:28. | |
that one, isn't it beautiful? It is not all bad, although tricky | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
conditions in the snow, I'm sure. Still nasty weather for the next | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
couple of hours, East Anglia, the south-east, still blowing a gale in | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
London. About nine hours worth of gales across a large chunk of the | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
UK. Later this evening, the winds die down, showers, temperatures drop | :27:46. | :27:48. | |
away, and a risk of some icy patches. The only real hazards | :27:49. | :27:53. | |
tonight will be one or two icy patches, particularly northern parts | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
of the UK. Then we wake up to sunshine, a nice crisp start to the | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
day. Not for very long, because eventually Northern Ireland and | :28:04. | :28:06. | |
western Scotland get the rain, no storms, just a regular sort of | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
winter cloudy day with a bit of rain. Saturday, quite a few isobars, | :28:11. | :28:14. | |
and that means a lot of wind. There will be a lot of wind over the | :28:15. | :28:19. | |
weekend, but nothing like what we have had, and a weekend, actually, | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
that could say Saturday and Sunday, you know what? Ignore that! Back to | :28:24. | :28:25. | |
you. Our main story is Storm Doris, which | :28:26. | :28:36. | |
has caused chaos across the UK, and now 40,000 homes in East Anglia are | :28:37. | :28:38. | |
without power. That's all from the BBC News At Six, | :28:39. | :28:38. | |
so it's goodbye from me, | :28:39. | :28:42. |
