:00:11. > :00:14.Tonight at 10 o'clock: Job losses and faltering growth. The latest

:00:15. > :00:18.evidence of the state of the economy. Unemployment rises again

:00:18. > :00:22.to 2.68 million, with youth unemployment at record levels.

:00:22. > :00:26.Ahead of next week's growth figures, a less than optimistic note from

:00:27. > :00:32.the Chancellor. I don't know what next week's GDP number is going to

:00:32. > :00:36.be. Our independent forecasters, the OBR, has warned us that it may

:00:36. > :00:40.well be a negative number. That was their forecast in November. We will

:00:40. > :00:44.be hearing from George Osborne who has been visiting Japan in the Far

:00:44. > :00:47.East. Also tonight, their view from space

:00:47. > :00:51.of the capsized Italian cruise liner where hope has faded of

:00:51. > :00:54.finding anyone else alive. 30 years after the Falklands War

:00:54. > :00:58.Britain accuses Argentina of a colonial approach to the

:00:58. > :01:01.sovereignty of the islands. Why hundreds of websites including

:01:01. > :01:05.Wikipedia have been off line in a protest against planned privacy

:01:05. > :01:14.laws. And a new planet discovered by

:01:14. > :01:17.amateur astronomers here in Britain. On the BBC News Channel I will be

:01:17. > :01:27.here with all of the action from the third round replays of the FA

:01:27. > :01:40.

:01:41. > :01:44.Cup. Wrexham are pushing Brighton Good evening. The parlous state of

:01:44. > :01:48.the British economy is underlined by the latest unemployment figures.

:01:48. > :01:52.The number out of work has risen again to reach 2.68 million with a

:01:52. > :01:55.record number of young people out of work. As the news was announced,

:01:55. > :02:02.the Chancellor was signalling that next week's growth figures might

:02:02. > :02:06.well be negative, raising fears of a renewed recession.

:02:06. > :02:11.The bad news about the economy is swirling round Downing Street.

:02:11. > :02:14.Today unemployment reached another new high. Next week official

:02:14. > :02:19.statistics may show that the economy is shrinking rather than

:02:19. > :02:23.growing from the end of last year. They have not seen those growth

:02:23. > :02:27.numbers, GDP in the jargon, inside Number 11 yet. But the Chancellor

:02:27. > :02:31.is preparing us all for the worst, even as he was meeting his

:02:31. > :02:35.counterpart on a trip to Japan. When you look at the GDP numbers

:02:35. > :02:40.for Britain, they are very similar to the GDP numbers of France,

:02:40. > :02:44.Germany and other Western countries. I don't know what next week's GDP

:02:44. > :02:48.number will be. Our independent forecasters, the OBR, has warned

:02:49. > :02:54.last that it may well be a negative number. What George Osborne knows

:02:54. > :02:58.is that any number with a minus sign on it, even if it is just

:02:58. > :03:03.minus 0.1% as forecast, will lead his critics to conclude that the

:03:03. > :03:06.British economy is not moving forwards. It is going backwards.

:03:06. > :03:11.don't think it is good enough just to have statements from the

:03:11. > :03:15.Chancellor in Japan, which are about managing expectations, making

:03:15. > :03:19.excuses in advance. The economy has not been growing for a year.

:03:19. > :03:24.Chancellor knows that next week's statistics could provide him with

:03:24. > :03:27.pretty dreadful headlines about the economy started to shrink. But

:03:27. > :03:33.today's statistics about unemployment showed the human side

:03:33. > :03:37.of an economy that simply is not growing. The number of young people

:03:37. > :03:42.looking for work hit another new record today. The Wildlife Trust

:03:42. > :03:48.near Bolton is trying to give them much-needed skills and teamwork.

:03:48. > :03:53.John has a master's degree. What you can't get is the job. I kind of

:03:53. > :03:58.expected it because of the climate. It is very demoralising. Sometimes

:03:58. > :04:03.you get down for a few days. It is all about keeping the roll up.

:04:03. > :04:07.the High Street, the clothing chain Peacocks is the latest big name to

:04:07. > :04:11.go into administration, putting 10,000 jobs at risk including at

:04:12. > :04:15.the Cardiff headquarters. We know that we are formally in

:04:15. > :04:19.administration so we will find that if we have our jobs in the morning.

:04:19. > :04:26.What was the atmosphere like? upset. They Prime Minister pointed

:04:26. > :04:31.to one bit of good news. It was a small decrease in long-term

:04:31. > :04:35.unemployment. It is a tragedy for the person that becomes unemployed

:04:35. > :04:39.and it can lead to real difficulty for that family and that is why we

:04:39. > :04:42.are taking so much action to help people to get back into work.

:04:42. > :04:46.defining characteristic of this Government is that it stands aside

:04:46. > :04:50.and does nothing as thousands of people find themselves unemployed.

:04:50. > :04:56.Behind the door of Number 11 they know things will get worse before

:04:56. > :04:59.they get better. It is quite clear that the

:04:59. > :05:07.Chancellor wanted to get the message across today. Absolutely.

:05:07. > :05:11.The economists at the Treasury do not care much if it is a little but

:05:11. > :05:14.positive or negative, because it does not make much difference. --

:05:15. > :05:19.little bit positive. But the Chancellor knows that will create

:05:19. > :05:22.bad headlines and a hit to economic confidence as well. Although he is

:05:22. > :05:27.reassuring us that unemployment figures do not look good but could

:05:27. > :05:30.have been worse, he is being told privately, although the official

:05:30. > :05:34.forecasts and the private advice is that we will not see two quarters

:05:34. > :05:38.in a row of negative growth, the technical definition of a recession,

:05:38. > :05:43.he is preparing us all for the fact that there is bad news to come.

:05:43. > :05:47.Indeed. And added to all of that, a potential new challenge today

:05:47. > :05:50.arising from the debt crisis. is right. The International

:05:50. > :05:55.Monetary Fund has now put the number on the amount of money that

:05:55. > :06:03.it wants the world to contribute to give it to the funds to stand

:06:03. > :06:05.behind the eurozone countries that get into trouble. It is half a

:06:05. > :06:09.billion dollars. People are now beginning to do the calculations

:06:09. > :06:14.about what that means for an increased contribution for the UK.

:06:14. > :06:18.No official number has been talked about or confirmed. On our

:06:18. > :06:22.calculations we are talking about in the region of �15 billion or

:06:22. > :06:25.more. The political problem for the Chancellor is that figure is high

:06:25. > :06:29.enough that he has to go back to the House of Commons to have a new

:06:29. > :06:33.vote. Last time he had a vote on this, there was quite a sizable

:06:33. > :06:38.Tory rebellion. With Boris Johnson telling Tory MPs tonight that it is

:06:38. > :06:45.time to stop trying to bubblegum together the eurozone, it is

:06:45. > :06:48.another fight the Chancellor could do without. Thank you.

:06:48. > :06:51.Rescue teams searching the cruise liner which ran aground off the

:06:51. > :06:56.Italian coast last week have suspended their work after the ship

:06:56. > :06:59.slipped further into the sea. More than 20 people are still missing.

:07:00. > :07:03.The captain of the ship, he was accused of abandoning his

:07:03. > :07:10.passengers and colleagues, is reported to be claiming that he

:07:10. > :07:18.accidentally fell into a lifeboat. A team of specialist cave divers

:07:18. > :07:23.headed out to the wreck. And into a dangerous world. It is slow going

:07:23. > :07:30.inside the ship. Moving through the floating debris of a once luxury

:07:30. > :07:40.liner. Along corridors turned on their side. They search for

:07:40. > :07:41.

:07:41. > :07:47.survivors, but no more likely. They will only find the dead. -- they

:07:47. > :07:50.know it is more likely that they will only find the dead. At one

:07:50. > :07:56.point the glass door of a shop was above me with the contents inside

:07:56. > :08:01.all pressing down. It could have shouted at any moment. We now know

:08:01. > :08:05.that this violinist from Hungary was among the dead. He had helped

:08:05. > :08:11.some children with their lifejackets and had then gone to

:08:11. > :08:17.pack his violin. Among the missing is Russell Rebello, a waiter on

:08:17. > :08:20.board. Today his brother Kevin came to the island. His first sight of

:08:21. > :08:27.the Costa Concordia. Does he think that his brother can possibly be

:08:27. > :08:31.alive? It is the 5th day, so it is a logical question that people are

:08:32. > :08:38.making, it is an assumption. But there have been miracles. People

:08:38. > :08:42.have come home after many days. the mainland, the captain's wife

:08:42. > :08:46.was mobbed by journalists. He is enemy number one here, criticised

:08:46. > :08:52.for abandoning ship. He is reported as saying that he slipped by

:08:52. > :08:55.mistake into a departing lifeboat. Few here believe that. His lawyer

:08:55. > :09:02.says that the captain, under house arrest, is deeply shaken by what

:09:02. > :09:09.happened. But the sister of another missing crew member, Erika, has no

:09:09. > :09:14.sympathy. It is outrageous that they have him under house arrest.

:09:14. > :09:18.It is like he is a free man and the search is taking too long.

:09:18. > :09:23.satellite picked up this image of the ship. It looks stable. It is

:09:23. > :09:27.not. Officials here tonight are closely monitoring the ship's

:09:27. > :09:33.movement. It shifted slightly during the day, stopping the rescue

:09:34. > :09:38.effort and postponed the start of the salvage operation. People here

:09:38. > :09:43.know that until the Costa Concordia can be secured, there is always the

:09:44. > :09:48.chance that fuel may leak from its tanks. Also deceiving thereof

:09:48. > :09:52.reports that the captain has admitted making a navigation error.

:09:52. > :09:59.-- this evening there are reports. It has cost him and those sailing

:09:59. > :10:03.with him dearly. Boris Johnson claims that ministers

:10:03. > :10:06.are increasingly interested in his controversial plans for a major new

:10:06. > :10:11.airport in the Thames estuary. The Government is to include the

:10:11. > :10:14.proposal in its wider consultation on the future of air travel in the

:10:14. > :10:20.UK and where extra capacity might be found. Our transport

:10:20. > :10:26.correspondent has more details. It is an ambitious idea to turn a

:10:26. > :10:31.sleepy corner of Kent into an airport twice the size of Heathrow.

:10:31. > :10:36.Four new runways, new roads, a high-speed line, and a high-profile

:10:36. > :10:41.backer, the London Mayor. I think this is something that would

:10:41. > :10:47.deliver a huge number of jobs for people in the South East of England

:10:47. > :10:52.and would help us to compete in the long term. London's airports are

:10:52. > :10:59.running out of space. Heathrow is already full and unable to expand,

:10:59. > :11:05.while demand keeps rising. In 2010, 140 million passengers flew in or

:11:05. > :11:11.out of the City. That could rise by 400 million by 2050. The new

:11:11. > :11:16.airport would take 150 million passengers. More capacity means

:11:16. > :11:21.more routes to growing markets like Brazil, China, India. Some worry

:11:21. > :11:25.that Britain is losing out. When it comes to our infrastructure,

:11:25. > :11:29.unfortunately when Britain dithers, others do. We have seen new runways

:11:29. > :11:33.in France, Germany, Holland in recent years. Those countries could

:11:33. > :11:37.become the beneficiaries of inward investment if the UK does not act.

:11:37. > :11:42.It is hard to imagine, but this spot here would be the end of one

:11:42. > :11:46.of the runways. Aeroplanes taking off and landing over my head. I

:11:46. > :11:50.would be surrounded by houses and roads. They would even build a new

:11:50. > :11:55.Thames flood barrier of river that would double as a road crossing.

:11:55. > :12:00.The scale is incredible and there is a price tag to match. Total

:12:00. > :12:08.costs, �50 billion. Although there is no clue yet as to who might find

:12:08. > :12:11.it. And it could take decades to build. -- who might find it. This

:12:11. > :12:17.crash in the New York Hudson River happened after birds got sucked

:12:17. > :12:20.into the engines. The incident of bird strike from trying to fly

:12:20. > :12:25.aircraft through birds that have been migrating down here for

:12:25. > :12:29.millennia would perhaps be 12 times the normal. British Airways said it

:12:29. > :12:35.would kill off Heathrow and while their boss Michael O'Leary has

:12:35. > :12:38.called it absolutely nuts. -- Ryanair boss. There is also an

:12:38. > :12:43.election coming up in London and nobody standing against Boris

:12:43. > :12:45.Johnson likes the idea. It will be discussed in the spring when the

:12:45. > :12:51.Government does consulted on its wider plan for aviation across

:12:51. > :12:55.Britain. -- starts Consulting. Tensions between Britain and

:12:55. > :12:59.Argentina are running high as we approach the 30th anniversary of

:12:59. > :13:02.the Falklands War. David Cameron has angered Argentina by accusing

:13:02. > :13:10.it of colonialism in its continued claim to the sovereignty of the

:13:10. > :13:14.islands. The sovereignty -- security of the Falklands was

:13:14. > :13:19.discussed yesterday. Is it your view, James, that David Cameron is

:13:19. > :13:22.trying to put more pressure on Argentina? Yes, very much. It is 30

:13:22. > :13:26.years since the conflict and tensions are rising quite high. Oil

:13:26. > :13:29.has been discovered in the Islands and Argentina is stepping up its

:13:29. > :13:34.anti-British rhetoric. Ships flying the Falklands flag have been banned

:13:34. > :13:38.from local ports. David Cameron was trying to push back against this.

:13:39. > :13:41.In the House of Commons he accused Argentine of colonialism. He

:13:41. > :13:45.insisted that the Falkland Islanders themselves must determine

:13:45. > :13:47.their future. He has also held a meeting of the National Security

:13:47. > :13:52.Council this week to discuss the situation and make sure that

:13:52. > :13:55.Britain is ready diplomatically and militarily just in case the

:13:55. > :14:00.situation escalates, as some in Whitehall fear that it could. All

:14:00. > :14:02.of this in a year of many events to mark the anniversary and also just

:14:02. > :14:07.as Prince William is preparing to go there to fly search-and-rescue

:14:07. > :14:12.helicopters. Argentina has hit back. The interior minister has accused

:14:12. > :14:17.David Cameron of being totally offensive. It is a toxic if not

:14:17. > :14:23.explosive diplomatic makes and will surely not end here. -- diplomatic

:14:23. > :14:26.The High Court has ordered the eviction of protestors who've been

:14:26. > :14:29.camping outside St Paul's Cathedral since October. The Judge said their

:14:29. > :14:32.camp site had a damaging impact on one of Britain's most important

:14:32. > :14:37.public buildings. The Occupy campaigners say it is a case about

:14:37. > :14:39.freedom of expression and are appealing against the decision.

:14:39. > :14:42.Thousands of workers at the giant consumer goods manufacturer,

:14:42. > :14:44.Unilever, have started a series of strikes over the company's plans to

:14:44. > :14:47.axe its final-salary pension scheme. Unilever, which makes everything

:14:47. > :14:57.from Marmite to Persil, says the changes are needed as people are

:14:57. > :14:59.living longer. Hundreds of internet sites, including Wikipedia and the

:14:59. > :15:02.blogging service WordPress, have been taking part in a blackout

:15:02. > :15:04.protest. They're concerned about anti-piracy laws being discussed by

:15:04. > :15:06.the Americans. The proposed legislation would allow the

:15:06. > :15:11.Department of Justice and content owners to seek court orders against

:15:11. > :15:21.any site accused of enabling or facilitating piracy. Our Technology

:15:21. > :15:28.

:15:28. > :15:32.Correspondent, Rory Cellan-Jones, The internet - founded on the idea

:15:32. > :15:36.of free-flowing information available to all, but for many

:15:36. > :15:43.giants, an American plan to crack down on pyrecy poses a serious

:15:43. > :15:48.threat to that ethos of freedom and openess. That's why Wikipedia and a

:15:48. > :15:53.number of others have gone dark for a day of protest. Why should a US

:15:53. > :15:57.law should down a global site? Although it's an American law, it

:15:57. > :16:04.would affect the whole of Wikipedia, because if we posted something that

:16:04. > :16:08.linked to some content that was copyright protected then with this

:16:08. > :16:12.law the whole website would have to come down. President Obama

:16:12. > :16:21.indicated he was unhappy with some aspects of the legislation. That

:16:21. > :16:28.angered a big supporter of the anti-drive, murd, who took to

:16:28. > :16:34.Twitter to accuse firms like Google of promote the piracy. You will

:16:34. > :16:38.find plenty of links on Google, many of them to piracy websites,

:16:38. > :16:42.but what Wikipedia and others say is that the new laws can be

:16:42. > :16:51.indiscriminate, threatening both legal and illegal material, with

:16:51. > :16:56.the possibility that much of the internet could end up going dark.

:16:56. > :17:01.Behind the scenes, Hollywood is lobbying hard for the laws, arguing

:17:01. > :17:07.that their possible impact has been exaggerated and American jobs are

:17:07. > :17:10.at stake. It's a jobs and benefits issue. Hundreds of thousands of

:17:10. > :17:15.people who work in Hollywood and those who depend on the jobs,

:17:15. > :17:21.depend on the passage of the bills. The fact is that each year we lose

:17:21. > :17:25.thousands of jobs to digital theft. Tonight at least one senator used

:17:25. > :17:29.Twitter to announce he was dropping his support for the laws. The

:17:29. > :17:35.internet blackouts have been pretty patchy. You could find Wikipedia if

:17:35. > :17:40.you really wanted it, but the webcam painers believe their voices

:17:40. > :17:44.have -- webcam painers believe their voices have been heard.

:17:44. > :17:54.Coming up - we'll explain why everyone has switched off their

:17:54. > :17:56.

:17:56. > :18:00.light in a Somerset town earlier this evening. The Chancellor is in

:18:00. > :18:05.the Far East this week and has been visiting Japan where the economy

:18:05. > :18:13.has taken years to recover from its own crisis and he's keen to see

:18:13. > :18:17.what lessons the UK can draw from their experience. Japan. For years

:18:17. > :18:22.it's been the great cautionary tail of a one booming economy which

:18:22. > :18:25.turned to bust 30 years ago, with a massive financial crisis. The

:18:26. > :18:30.country's battled with deflation and economic stagnation ever since.

:18:30. > :18:35.When the financial crisis hit us in 2008 policy makers were determined

:18:35. > :18:39.they weren't going to make the same mistakes as Japan. There would be

:18:39. > :18:43.no lost decade for Britain or America. But more than three years

:18:43. > :18:49.later, we are still struggling to put the crisis behind us and

:18:49. > :18:53.Japan's lost decade is starting to look pretty good. Japan grew by

:18:53. > :18:58.just 0.8% a year on average in the ten years after its bubble bust.

:18:58. > :19:02.That's pretty bad, but it's no worse than the latest official

:19:02. > :19:08.forecast for the UK from 2007 onwards. That assumes the eurozone

:19:08. > :19:13.crisis gets resolved. You might wonder where George Osborne would

:19:13. > :19:20.want to come, but he's here to drum up business for Britain. He does

:19:20. > :19:24.like his high-speed trains. Would I go forward? I asked him about what

:19:24. > :19:29.he thought about UK turning Japanese. When you have an enormous

:19:29. > :19:32.property and financial crash it takes a long time to fully recover

:19:32. > :19:35.from that. That was the Japanese experience and has been the

:19:35. > :19:39.experience of Britain and other western countries and it's just a

:19:39. > :19:44.reminder of what a mess we are having to clear up. I think the

:19:44. > :19:50.second lesson from Japan is that you need to take decisive action

:19:50. > :19:56.sooner rather than later. Others see it differently. That trying to

:19:56. > :20:01.cut the deficit too fast can derail your recovery. Japan did that in

:20:01. > :20:06.1997. It resulted in five quarters of negative growth and the deficit

:20:06. > :20:10.increased by 68%, even with higher taxes and lower spending. It took

:20:10. > :20:17.Japan ten years to climb out of that policy mistake. That's the

:20:17. > :20:21.kind of thing I see in the UK and US and Europe. I'm tempted to say

:20:21. > :20:26.if this is stagnation then bring it on. Even today, only three

:20:26. > :20:32.countries export more than Japan. Their unemployment rate is less

:20:32. > :20:36.than 5%. In these years UNIQLO has almost managed to make itself the

:20:36. > :20:42.fourth-biggest clothing producer in the world. The President, Tadashi

:20:42. > :20:46.Yanai, is now worth over $8 billion. I see you have a sign in your

:20:46. > :20:51.boardroom that says, "No challenge, no future." You have had plenty of

:20:51. > :20:54.challenges here in Japan. TRANSLATION: I really feel that you

:20:54. > :21:03.need to keep challenging yourself in the global market. Without any

:21:03. > :21:06.challenge you cannot make profit. Japan's still got big challenges

:21:10. > :21:15.when the economy is flat. As we saw today, there's little chance of

:21:16. > :21:22.that in the UK. All in all, Mr Osborne might think we could do

:21:22. > :21:25.worse than follow Japan. But if the forecasts are right, we might well.

:21:25. > :21:27.Britain has called for tougher sanctions against Syria in response

:21:27. > :21:31.to the brutal crackdown on demonstrators who want more freedom

:21:31. > :21:34.and democratic rights. An Arab League monitoring mission has

:21:34. > :21:39.failed to stop the violence which has been continuing for the past

:21:40. > :21:43.ten months. But Russia has hinted that it will block any move at the

:21:44. > :21:52.UN Security Council to impose sanctions. We can join our Middle

:21:52. > :21:55.East editor, Jeremy Bowen, in Damascus for us tonight. Very few

:21:55. > :21:58.western journalists have been reporting. What are your

:21:58. > :22:03.impressions on arriving there? First impressions are that compared

:22:03. > :22:09.to how it was when I was last here, it's subdued. The economy is

:22:09. > :22:13.suffering here. It is a quieter city than usual. That economic

:22:13. > :22:18.trouble might tip the steal mate evently, in which this conflict now

:22:18. > :22:23.is, which is that neither side is strong enough to overwhelm the

:22:23. > :22:26.other. The rebelling continues. The regime continues. Strong views on

:22:26. > :22:33.either sides of course and no political process to try to bring

:22:33. > :22:37.them together. At the moment, it is simply a zero gain. It's winner

:22:37. > :22:41.takes all, with the rebellion saying that the President has to go

:22:41. > :22:47.and the President saying his people are being killed as well and that

:22:47. > :22:53.there is a foreign conspiracy here to try to destroy Syria. The Arab

:22:53. > :22:58.League monitors will be delivering their report tomorrow, to their

:22:58. > :23:02.ministerial masters and their response over the weekend is going

:23:02. > :23:07.to shape the international next steps in this particular crisis.

:23:08. > :23:11.Thank you very much. A seven-mile flotilla of a thousand ships is to

:23:11. > :23:13.sail down the Thames as part of the celebrations to mark the Queen's

:23:13. > :23:17.Diamond Jubilee in June. The pageant will feature vessels from

:23:17. > :23:20.the countries of the Commonwealth. The Queen and other senior members

:23:20. > :23:27.of the Royal Family will travel at the head of the flotilla aboard the

:23:27. > :23:31.Royal Barge. A new planet orbiting a distant star has been discovered

:23:31. > :23:35.by amateur astronomers in Britain. The planet, thought to be too hot

:23:35. > :23:37.to sustain kind of life, was found by viewers of the BBC programme

:23:37. > :23:40.Stargazing Live, which has drawn millions of viewers to take an

:23:40. > :23:50.interest in space. Our science editor, David Shukman, takes up the

:23:50. > :23:54.

:23:54. > :23:59.Beyond Earth, beyond the Solar System, new worlds are emerging

:23:59. > :24:02.deep in space. Tonight came the discovery of yet another. This

:24:02. > :24:09.artist's impression shows a planet nearly four times larger than Earth,

:24:09. > :24:12.found not by a space agency, but by an amateur. Chris is in

:24:12. > :24:17.Peterborough, going through computer data and stumbling across

:24:17. > :24:20.a whole new planet. I've had a passing interest in where things

:24:20. > :24:23.are, but never had any more knowledge than that. Being involved

:24:23. > :24:32.in a project like this and being the one to find something is very

:24:32. > :24:35.exciting. It was the programme that got him interested. Running all

:24:35. > :24:40.week, it's attracted massive audiences. Thousands have been

:24:40. > :24:45.inspired to join the search for new planets. I think it's the science

:24:45. > :24:50.that anybody can do. We have seen it with this discovery. These are

:24:50. > :24:54.just normal viewers, actually doing science and just think about this -

:24:54. > :24:57.discovering a planet around a distant star. What is emerging is

:24:57. > :25:02.that more and more planets may be discovered by people just hunting

:25:02. > :25:09.on the internet. The technique involves a professional telescope

:25:09. > :25:13.watching a star the size of a light dimming. A planet is passing in

:25:13. > :25:16.front of it. There is so much data that the public are needed to go

:25:16. > :25:21.through it, but the reward is finding a new planet like this one

:25:21. > :25:25.tonight. What is it like? You have to think of Neptune, but it's

:25:25. > :25:31.probably as warm as mercury, so pretty unpleasant, but none the

:25:31. > :25:35.less a discovery has been made. lure of space is infectious. Three,

:25:35. > :25:40.two, one... A small town of Dulverton if Devon tonight switched

:25:40. > :25:46.off all of its light for a better view of the heavens while the

:25:46. > :25:51.programme was on air. Astron my is suddenly popular. The starsen

:25:52. > :25:57.Exmoor are extraordinary. On a clear night we sit out in deck

:25:57. > :26:00.chairs. New techniques and mounting enthusiasm for space among the
