:01:19. > :01:21.predicted, as a storm heading in from the Atlantic is due to hit the

:01:22. > :01:27.South West and South Wales, before moving North and Eastwards. Some

:01:28. > :01:30.ferry services have already been cancelled, while many rush hour

:01:31. > :01:35.trains in the affected areas won't be operating in the morning, until

:01:36. > :01:38.it is certain the routes are safe. We will have more on potential

:01:39. > :01:41.transport problems in a moment, but first, we can go live to Cardiff

:01:42. > :01:44.Bay, one of the first places the storm is expected to hit, and join

:01:45. > :01:52.our correspondent, Hywel Griffith. ??NEWLIN Let's get more

:01:53. > :02:01.the South Wales coastline is in line to be hit by those gusts of 80 mph.

:02:02. > :02:05.It has been blustery here today but nothing compared to what agencies

:02:06. > :02:13.and authorities are preparing for. The Prime Minister David, and

:02:14. > :02:16.chaired a conference today -- David Cameron chaired a conference today,

:02:17. > :02:21.to make plans for the storm they are calling St Jude.

:02:22. > :02:26.A taster of what tomorrow could bring, the southern coastlines were

:02:27. > :02:30.battered this afternoon. In South Devon, there was too much wind for

:02:31. > :02:37.this turbine. Some trees have fallen, but I could be much worse to

:02:38. > :02:41.come. Over the Atlantic, the St Jude storm is gathering. Named after the

:02:42. > :02:49.Patron Saint of Lost Causes, it is causing real concern. I am not going

:02:50. > :02:55.out tomorrow. I am concerned, the reports indicate it will be bleak,

:02:56. > :03:00.and today has been quite bad. I have locked the garage doors, all we can

:03:01. > :03:06.do. Hope it will pass. I know it is coming but I am not prepared.

:03:07. > :03:11.Councils across the country are having to gear up for a busy night.

:03:12. > :03:14.Thousands of sandbags are on stand-by in case of flooding. They

:03:15. > :03:16.have been told to prepare for stand-by in case of flooding. They

:03:17. > :03:21.biggest operation in a decade. This stand-by in case of flooding. They

:03:22. > :03:26.is the most prepared we have been in ten years, we have everything ready.

:03:27. > :03:30.We have sandbags on the vehicles and we have the cleansing teams ready to

:03:31. > :03:34.clean up, so we are prepared, but hopefully it does not hit us.

:03:35. > :03:41.Whatever does, overnight, travelled to strip show is guaranteed for this

:03:42. > :03:44.morning -- travel disruption is guaranteed for the morning. Very

:03:45. > :03:48.crossings have been cancelled on the Irish Sea and English Channel and

:03:49. > :03:53.some train services have been reduced. We do not expect to run

:03:54. > :03:58.many if any train services in the morning because we will be checking

:03:59. > :04:05.the roots are clear and clearing any trees. Some can relish these

:04:06. > :04:11.conditions, but for most, now is a time to plan for a bumpy night

:04:12. > :04:15.ahead. Emergency services have already

:04:16. > :04:19.today been called interaction. Sussex police are searching for a

:04:20. > :04:24.missing 14-year-old boy last seen swimming of the West Beach and New

:04:25. > :04:30.Haven. People are being asked to show caution, it even if the wind

:04:31. > :04:35.has not risen yet. It is expected to take force overnight so the advice

:04:36. > :04:38.is for people not to make necessary -- unnecessary journeys and if

:04:39. > :04:47.possible, to stay in their homes. Can get more on the potential

:04:48. > :04:52.problems with the trains. -- we can. Our correspondent is that Waterloo,

:04:53. > :04:56.what is the latest? If you are commuting to London or if

:04:57. > :05:03.you travel to train across the South of England, expect a chaotic morning

:05:04. > :05:06.rush-hour. Most major rail companies are predicting severe disruption.

:05:07. > :05:12.South West Trains has advised has and is not to travel. Until they are

:05:13. > :05:18.sure there are no obstructions on the line. If trains do go, they say

:05:19. > :05:22.they will go no faster than 50 mph as a precaution. A similar story for

:05:23. > :05:28.Southern trains, first capital, and the Gatwick Express, they all say

:05:29. > :05:32.they are unlikely to run services in the morning rush-hour. Until they

:05:33. > :05:37.are short there is nothing on the lines. It will not be a normal

:05:38. > :05:41.Monday morning commute. The obvious advice is to check the website of

:05:42. > :05:48.your train operator before you leave home. Thank you.

:05:49. > :05:51.And the latest news on the weather and services that may be affected

:05:52. > :06:01.can be found on the BBC News website.

:06:02. > :06:04.There will be updates on BBC local radio as well.

:06:05. > :06:07.A wave of car bombings in Iraq has killed more than fifty people and

:06:08. > :06:13.wounded several others.There were 11 explosions in the capital, Baghdad,

:06:14. > :06:16.in less than an hour. Sectarian violence between Shia and Sunni

:06:17. > :06:22.Muslims is at its worse level in six years. From Baghdad, Ahmed Maher

:06:23. > :06:26.reports. Bombers struck during the morning

:06:27. > :06:32.rush hour in a series of coordinated blasts. Busy streets, markets,

:06:33. > :06:37.residential areas were targeted. Among those killed in the attacks

:06:38. > :06:43.across Iraq were people queueing to call -- to collect their wages. They

:06:44. > :06:49.cannot drive through this area so how could a car bomb and go off? It

:06:50. > :06:54.is a catastrophe what happens today. A child, a woman and a father, three

:06:55. > :06:58.members of the same family have been killed.

:06:59. > :07:04.The Barnes targeted mainly Shia areas stashed the bombs. The latest

:07:05. > :07:10.violence in a country torn apart by conflict between Sunni Muslims and

:07:11. > :07:13.Shia Muslims. Recently, the government has toughened security

:07:14. > :07:18.measures. Checkpoints dividing the streets of Baghdad had been

:07:19. > :07:23.strengthened, docks are patrolling the areas. There is no letup in

:07:24. > :07:26.violence despite new security measures introduced by the

:07:27. > :07:32.government. And the number of attacks has reached the highest

:07:33. > :07:38.level since the peak of that clashes -- the clashes that killed tens of

:07:39. > :07:42.thousands almost six years ago. The attacks today have heightened fears

:07:43. > :07:44.that the country is sliding back towards another bloody sectarian

:07:45. > :07:47.conflict. Scientists say they have uncovered

:07:48. > :07:50.11 new genes which are linked to Alzheimer's, taking another step

:07:51. > :07:58.towards finding a cure for the disease. Using data from ten of

:07:59. > :08:01.thousands people across 15 countries, the breakthrough research

:08:02. > :08:03.has been published in the Nature Genetic journal. Alzheimer's disease

:08:04. > :08:08.is the most common cause of dementia, affecting nearly half a

:08:09. > :08:12.million people in the UK. The BBC could have its licence fee

:08:13. > :08:15.cut, the Tory Party Chairman has warned. Grant Shapps said the

:08:16. > :08:20.Corporation needs to rebuild public trust and become more transparent.

:08:21. > :08:27.In a statement, the BBC said transparency was key and so was

:08:28. > :08:30.'freedom from political pressure'. The BBC's Royal Charter is due for

:08:31. > :08:39.renewal in 2016. Our political correspondent, Alan Soady, reports.

:08:40. > :08:42.Millions of people consume a slice of the BBC every day. But now there

:08:43. > :08:47.are questions which go to the heart of the organisation 's future as

:08:48. > :08:53.well as its President and its past. The BBC 's current boss Ward Hall is

:08:54. > :08:58.asked I Grant Shapps to make the BBC more open and transparent -- water

:08:59. > :09:03.hole. But the Conservative Party Chairman argues the Jimmy Savile

:09:04. > :09:07.scandal happened in part because of a culture within the BBC against

:09:08. > :09:12.scrutiny. He warns that greater openness is needed in future if the

:09:13. > :09:16.licence fee is to continue in its current form. Some of his colleagues

:09:17. > :09:20.agree. He has been expressing concerns and

:09:21. > :09:25.saying this money, this funding needs to be better audited and be

:09:26. > :09:31.more transparent. And the BBC should be more accountable to the public.

:09:32. > :09:35.The editorial impartiality of the BBC is also questioned by Grant

:09:36. > :09:41.Shapps who says the news coverage can show political bias, something

:09:42. > :09:46.rejected by bit the BBC. -- by the BBC. He is firing a warning across

:09:47. > :09:51.the BBC, what is not clear is the extent to which his views are shared

:09:52. > :09:55.by those at the top of his party. There is a planned review of the

:09:56. > :09:59.licence fee in 2016 and that will fall to whoever wins the next

:10:00. > :10:04.general election. One former BBC Director-General is not surprised

:10:05. > :10:08.either remarks. It is so predictable. I have been

:10:09. > :10:13.waiting for it to happen. 18 months before an election. The government

:10:14. > :10:17.decides to start pressurising the BBC and they say, if we win again,

:10:18. > :10:23.we will take away your money, that is what they do.

:10:24. > :10:27.The BBC says it is aware of the importance of transparency, but it

:10:28. > :10:30.is vital the corporation is free from political pressure.

:10:31. > :10:35.Syria has met an initial deadline to hand over detailed plans to destroy

:10:36. > :10:38.its chemical weapons stockpile. The body inspecting chemical weapons has

:10:39. > :10:41.until today to inspect all 23 sites declared by the Syrian government.

:10:42. > :10:50.Syria then has until the middle of next year to completely destroy its

:10:51. > :10:57.Arsenal. Now for the sport.

:10:58. > :11:02.Good evening. Sunderland have one the Tyne Wear Derby, beating

:11:03. > :11:06.Newcastle 2-1, with a late goal to get their first Premier League

:11:07. > :11:11.victory of the season. And Chelsea 's Fernando Torres has given them a

:11:12. > :11:15.2-1 win over Manchester City to move them up to second place. You know

:11:16. > :11:20.winter is coming when the Premier League get out the high visibility

:11:21. > :11:22.football, but winning the title will also be about standing out on the

:11:23. > :11:26.gloomy nights. These teams are contenders which

:11:27. > :11:31.Chelsea could do with Fernando Torres adjusting to the light. But

:11:32. > :11:36.he channelled the embarrassment and left his opponent with a simple

:11:37. > :11:40.finish. Manchester City were not a force until the second half. But

:11:41. > :11:44.this surprised everyone. City lost concentration in the final minutes,

:11:45. > :11:50.leaving the rest to that man, Fernando Torres. There is an almost

:11:51. > :11:55.religious fervour about the north-east derby and Sunderland

:11:56. > :12:02.presented the Pope with a shirt this week. But this goal was due to the

:12:03. > :12:06.accuracy of the cross. The Stadium of light turned up the sound. The

:12:07. > :12:12.manager 's mood darkened after the rake, with this goal. The weather

:12:13. > :12:16.changed and so it seemed had the fortunes. Sunderland sent on another

:12:17. > :12:22.player and the 22-year-old Italian catapulted himself into Wearside

:12:23. > :12:26.folklore. This was their first league win at it seemed like more

:12:27. > :12:31.than just one win. -- what it seemed.

:12:32. > :12:37.Swansea and West Ham played out a goalless draw.

:12:38. > :12:39.Celtic have extended their lead at the top of the Scottish Premier

:12:40. > :12:46.League to six points with a 2-1 victory over Partick this'll. The

:12:47. > :12:51.substitute scored the winner with 15 minutes remaining. St Johnstone also

:12:52. > :12:56.won today, beating Motherwell 2-1. Sebastian Vettel said it was one of

:12:57. > :12:59.the best days of his life, the 26-year-old won the Indian Grand

:13:00. > :13:04.Prix to claim a fourth Grand Prix championship and take a special

:13:05. > :13:09.place in history. Who can blame Sebastian Vettel for acting like a

:13:10. > :13:13.boy racer? After clinching his fourth world title in a row, it was

:13:14. > :13:16.time to celebrate. Victory was always on the cards in

:13:17. > :13:21.India and he won the two previous races held here. He started from

:13:22. > :13:24.pole position and came under the pressure from the start but he kept

:13:25. > :13:28.the lead. The only man who could stop him was Fernando Alonso, but

:13:29. > :13:33.the Spaniard was doomed from the start, losing part of his front wing

:13:34. > :13:39.and bumping into Jenson button like if background dodgem car. He slipped

:13:40. > :13:43.out, meaning Sebastian Vettel did not have to finish to become

:13:44. > :13:46.champion. But the German wanted to win in style after his first pit

:13:47. > :13:50.stop saw him slipping down the order, he charged his Red Bull

:13:51. > :13:55.through the field, moving up to second with a third of the race

:13:56. > :14:01.gone. Sebastian Vettel inherited the lead from his team-mate Mark Webber

:14:02. > :14:08.and he won by almost 30 seconds. Fantastic, you are a four-time World

:14:09. > :14:13.Champion! Yes, yes! One of the best days of my life so far. When I was

:14:14. > :14:16.small, I tried to think where I started and Formula 1 more so far

:14:17. > :14:20.away. He is the third man to win four

:14:21. > :14:24.championships in a row but you get the impression he will not rest

:14:25. > :14:32.until he becomes the most successful driver the sport has ever seen! That

:14:33. > :14:34.is all for the sport. There is more throughout the evening
