:00:08. > :00:11.Corruption in Test cricket. Former Pakistani cricket captain, Salman

:00:11. > :00:14.Butt and fast bowler, Mohammed Asif, are found guilty of conspiracy to

:00:14. > :00:18.cheat during last year's tour of England.

:00:18. > :00:26.The UK economy picks up as the latest figures show it grew by 0.5%

:00:26. > :00:30.over the summer. It is a positive step forward for the British

:00:31. > :00:34.economy, a better figure than some were expecting this week, given

:00:34. > :00:38.what is happening in the world, and the British economy has a difficult

:00:38. > :00:40.journey to take from its debt fuelled past.

:00:40. > :00:43.Financial markets across Europe dive after Greece's surprise

:00:43. > :00:46.decision to hold a referendum on the EU's plans to solve its debt

:00:46. > :00:51.crisis. Protestors camped outside St Paul's Cathedral are about to be

:00:51. > :00:54.told they have 48 hours to leave as legal action is launched.

:00:54. > :00:57.Plans for a minimum price for alcohol in Scotland to tackle some

:00:57. > :01:00.of the worst drink-related problems in Europe And the real life slumdog

:01:00. > :01:10.millionaire - the office worker who couldn't afford a TV wins a million

:01:10. > :01:14.

:01:14. > :01:24.Later, Chelsea and Arsenal are in Champions League action tonight.

:01:24. > :01:39.

:01:39. > :01:43.Chelsea are in Belgium, but without Good afternoon. Within the past

:01:43. > :01:49.hour, two Pakistani cricketers have been found guilty of plotting to

:01:49. > :01:53.fix part of a cricket match at Lords last summer. Salman Butt and

:01:53. > :01:58.Mohammad Asif were found to have conspired to cheat by a jury at

:01:58. > :02:08.Southwark Crown Court. Our sports correspondent is there. What

:02:08. > :02:14.

:02:14. > :02:18.happened in court? Allegations of three no-balls being bowled on

:02:18. > :02:22.purpose, well first today the jury delivered verdict on Salman Butt,

:02:22. > :02:27.the former captain of the Pakistani cricket team. He and his team-mate

:02:27. > :02:31.are facing charges of taking corrupt payments, and also of

:02:31. > :02:39.cheating. The jury gave a clear verdict of guilty on both of those

:02:39. > :02:44.charges. The first charge was the majority, unanimous for the second.

:02:44. > :02:48.At the moment there is no verdict for Mohammad Asif on accepting

:02:48. > :02:53.corrupt payments. They have reached a unanimous verdict that he was

:02:53. > :03:00.guilty of the second charge of cheating to enable others to gamble.

:03:00. > :03:05.What are the wider implications of this? Some major questions raised

:03:05. > :03:10.for international cricket. The biggest question is the ICC has its

:03:10. > :03:15.anti-corruption unit which has been in place for many years, so why was

:03:16. > :03:20.a national newspaper, the News of the World, having to come up with

:03:20. > :03:26.these allegations to do the dirty work? If it hadn't been for these

:03:26. > :03:30.allegations, they would never have been made. The second question is

:03:30. > :03:35.you only have two players in the dock, but a number of cricketers

:03:35. > :03:44.were named during this case - what now will happen to those players?

:03:44. > :03:49.How widely can these allegations continue? Thank you.

:03:49. > :03:53.The financial and service sectors helped the UK economy grow by 0.5%

:03:53. > :03:58.between July and September, more than many economists had predicted.

:03:58. > :04:02.The Chancellor said it was a positive step but he was warning of

:04:02. > :04:06.the difficult journey ahead for the British economy.

:04:06. > :04:11.Take the value of all the goods and services we produce, add them up

:04:11. > :04:17.and you get gross domestic product, GDP, a barometer for the health of

:04:17. > :04:25.the economy. Today we learned there was growth of 0.5% between July and

:04:25. > :04:29.September. That was encouraging news for the Chancellor, visiting a

:04:29. > :04:33.construction site today. I think this is a positive step forward for

:04:33. > :04:37.the British economy. It is a better figure than some were expecting

:04:37. > :04:42.this week, given what is happening in the world. The British economy

:04:42. > :04:46.has a difficult journey to take from its debt field past, made more

:04:46. > :04:50.difficult by the problems in the euro-zone. A looking back over six

:04:50. > :04:56.months, the figures suggest sluggish growth in the UK economy.

:04:56. > :04:59.There was growth of 0.5% between July and September, but to an

:04:59. > :05:04.extent that was a predictable bounce back after a very weak

:05:04. > :05:13.figure of just 0.1% between April and June, affected by factors like

:05:13. > :05:18.the extra bank holiday. Underlying growth is underneath the average

:05:18. > :05:23.figure of 0.6% a quarter. It would be any complacent Chancellor who

:05:23. > :05:27.took comfort from these figures. We have barely grown, it has been the

:05:27. > :05:31.slowest recovery since the First World War. Business services saw

:05:31. > :05:35.growth picking up over the third quarter, and this marketing and

:05:35. > :05:39.printing company in Derbyshire wants to advertise the fact it is

:05:39. > :05:44.coping with economic challenges. It has had to adapt to customers

:05:44. > :05:49.cutting back on their spending. Remember that this has been a long,

:05:49. > :05:53.lean period for business and we have been able to adapt, expand,

:05:53. > :06:00.develop, and also offer customers more choice and better value for

:06:00. > :06:08.money. On the consumer side of the economy, the mood is more downbeat,

:06:08. > :06:11.squeezed by high inflation. We have seen from surveys of consumers and

:06:11. > :06:16.business that confidence is weakening again, and there are

:06:16. > :06:26.concerns about what is happening in the wider world. Shoppers we spoke

:06:26. > :06:26.

:06:27. > :06:31.to in Glasgow today spelt out their concerns. I find it difficult, I

:06:31. > :06:37.have four children. Just a worry, come Christmas, worried about what

:06:37. > :06:41.they will be asking for. I can't afford it. You could say that GDP

:06:41. > :06:48.growth was respectable in the late summer book looking forward there

:06:48. > :06:53.is uncertainty. A lot of uncertainty as you just

:06:53. > :06:58.said, despite some good news? the Chancellor is entitled to say

:06:58. > :07:01.the figure for the third quarter was better than expected,

:07:02. > :07:06.confounding some of the gloomier expectations. Equally, I don't

:07:06. > :07:10.think he is pretending things are resumed looking forward. In a sense

:07:10. > :07:16.we have the rear-view mirror today on what did happen, so where are we

:07:16. > :07:26.now? There was a worrying survey produced today, which is basically

:07:26. > :07:29.

:07:29. > :07:33.an opinion poll showing a lot of uncertainty about the euro-zone.

:07:33. > :07:39.Exports go there, so if there is a sharp slow down next year, which

:07:39. > :07:43.was predicted yesterday, then that could affect the UK. In a sense,

:07:43. > :07:48.what goes on outside the UK is one of the biggest factors in what

:07:49. > :07:52.happens in our economy. Given the figures we have been out lining, it

:07:52. > :07:56.is not surprising the Chancellor was quick to point out the

:07:56. > :08:00.difficult journey ahead for the British economy. I'm sure the

:08:00. > :08:05.Chancellor did a metaphorical wiping of his brow that the growth

:08:05. > :08:11.figures in this quarter were at least better than the derisory 0.1%

:08:11. > :08:15.of the previous quarter. There has been no sense of celebration,

:08:15. > :08:22.congratulation whatever in the Treasury today. Quite the reverse,

:08:22. > :08:26.they have been adopting a sombre, even down playing these figures.

:08:27. > :08:31.That is because the British economy is still stuttering along. We faced

:08:31. > :08:36.a long, slow protracted slog out of this possession and is not going to

:08:36. > :08:40.be like previous recessions where there is a quick bounce back.

:08:40. > :08:44.Ministers want to brace themselves for the fact this will take time.

:08:44. > :08:48.Talking to those around George Osborne, they think it is possible

:08:48. > :08:53.that towards the end of the year growth could falter again, economic

:08:53. > :08:58.prospects could dip backwards. I detect real apprehension and the

:08:58. > :09:03.anxiety about what is going on in Greece and Euro land, and a real

:09:03. > :09:07.fear that if the euro-zone crisis not only staggers on but intensify

:09:07. > :09:13.as, that could snuff out the flickering embers of what is

:09:13. > :09:17.already a pretty dysentery recovery. Share prices have dropped sharply

:09:17. > :09:20.across Europe following the decision by Greece to hold a

:09:20. > :09:27.referendum on the latest aid package to tackle its debt crisis.

:09:27. > :09:31.Last week, euros only does agreed they should have 50% of its debts

:09:31. > :09:38.with private banks written-off. The talk of a referendum has now thrown

:09:38. > :09:42.the deal into doubt. This idea of a referendum caught

:09:42. > :09:47.everybody by surprise, even would you believe the Greek Finance

:09:47. > :09:54.Minister himself. In Brussels, Paris and Berlin they knew nothing

:09:54. > :10:02.about it. The ruling party in Athens has lost... Its majority has

:10:02. > :10:07.gone down to two, and the decision to hold a referendum has caused

:10:07. > :10:11.worldwide turbulence. This is what the threat looks like on the market

:10:11. > :10:15.- down. Private investors and pension funds lost money this

:10:15. > :10:18.morning, and out on the streets of Germany, which has been

:10:18. > :10:26.instrumental in bailing out Greece's lifeless economy, they

:10:26. > :10:30.weren't happy either. TRANSLATION: We can't keep supporting Greece.

:10:30. > :10:36.Last night in the Greek parliament, the Prime Minister gave no warning

:10:36. > :10:40.that he was about to turn decision- making over to his people. It's a

:10:40. > :10:45.referendum on the crucial question facing our country, George

:10:45. > :10:50.Papandreou said, we trust the citizens. It has been a year and-a-

:10:50. > :10:55.half of pain, of cuts, of job losses for Greeks, now they are

:10:55. > :11:00.being asked whether they accept the terms of the bail-out package.

:11:00. > :11:05.Indications for now are that they will vote No, so why is the Prime

:11:05. > :11:11.Minister doing this? He is trying to say I went in this building over

:11:11. > :11:17.there, I made a deal, and this is the best I can do. If you want it,

:11:17. > :11:23.vote yes, and stop rioting and back-stabbing me. The Greek

:11:23. > :11:30.decision has caused officials in Brussels by surprise. They hoped

:11:30. > :11:33.the deal had bought them some time. Now they are fully aware that if

:11:33. > :11:38.the Greeks vote No in the referendum on another bail-out for

:11:38. > :11:43.their country, it could ultimately lead to Greece leaving the euro-

:11:43. > :11:47.zone. Some might think that is good for the single currency, cutting

:11:47. > :11:53.out the cancer of Greece, but many fear it would lead to even greater

:11:53. > :11:59.instability than we have now. This afternoon President Sarkozy and

:11:59. > :12:06.Angela Merkel will speak about this latest crisis within a crisis. Last

:12:06. > :12:10.week's summit they felt was a success, it was short lived. The

:12:10. > :12:14.immediate question is whether that referendum will indeed take place.

:12:14. > :12:19.The Greek Prime Minister appears to be haemorrhaging support this

:12:19. > :12:23.lunchtime, and if there were to be early elections one would assume

:12:23. > :12:28.the referendum would be cancelled, but even if that scenario does play

:12:28. > :12:33.out, it will do nothing to remove yet another new and potentially

:12:33. > :12:37.very damaging source of instability at the heart of Europe's debt

:12:37. > :12:41.crisis. With me now is our business editor.

:12:41. > :12:46.Hypothetically, if there was a referendum and they voted No, what

:12:46. > :12:50.are the implications? Let's pick up on what Matthew just said. He said

:12:50. > :12:55.if there is an early general election, if the government falls,

:12:55. > :12:59.maybe there will not be a referendum. Let's be clear, the

:12:59. > :13:02.general election would not have the same impact of a referendum. It

:13:02. > :13:06.would throw up into the air the whole question of whether the

:13:06. > :13:14.rescue package will go through, and it is profoundly worrying for

:13:14. > :13:19.bankers, investors, 4 euros own government heads because it raises

:13:19. > :13:25.a two scary prospect for them. One, that Greece will say we will not

:13:25. > :13:31.pay back any of our debts, and two that they will say on top of that

:13:31. > :13:35.we will leave the euro-zone so a currency can fall to a level where

:13:35. > :13:44.industry stands a chance of being competitive again. You can see why

:13:44. > :13:48.those outcomes my -- might look attractive to the Greeks, but it

:13:48. > :13:58.would crystallise losses for banks and raised the possibility in the

:13:58. > :14:01.

:14:01. > :14:05.minds of those who led -- lent billions to them that other

:14:05. > :14:11.countries could follow Greece's example, they might stop lending to

:14:12. > :14:16.banks, and we would be in a situation of financial paralysis

:14:16. > :14:21.within the euro-zone. It is on the back of this that European stock

:14:21. > :14:31.markets have fallen, banks are on average down about 10%, and we are

:14:31. > :14:34.

:14:34. > :14:40.Motorists have been suffering long delays on the M25 in Kent following

:14:40. > :14:45.a diesel spill this morning. The road has had to be resurfaced,

:14:45. > :14:51.causing delays of more than two hours for motorists, and traffic

:14:51. > :14:53.jams going back 20 miles. Scotland has taken a major step

:14:53. > :14:56.today towards becoming the first country in Europe to introduce a

:14:56. > :14:59.minimum price per unit for alcohol, in an effort to reduce drinking-

:14:59. > :15:01.related problems. The SNP says Scotland's drinking culture is

:15:01. > :15:04.causing severe health and social problems. They hope minimum pricing

:15:04. > :15:08.will force down consumption, and lead to fewer hospital admissions

:15:08. > :15:16.and less crime. Our scotland correspondent, Lorna Gordon,

:15:16. > :15:24.reports. Scotland has a difficult relationship with alcohol, and it

:15:24. > :15:29.is costly. Figures suggest these problems include lost days at work,

:15:29. > :15:36.crime and health, adding up to more than �3 billion a year. These two

:15:36. > :15:41.are both started drinking in their teens. It got really out of control

:15:41. > :15:46.about 16, 17, that was drinking vodka during the day. It has left

:15:46. > :15:51.them both with serious health problems, including cirrhosis of

:15:51. > :15:58.the liver for this 26-year-old. Both of them have now been sober

:15:58. > :16:05.for five months, and are in rehabilitation. You would not drink

:16:05. > :16:12.as much, definitely, because there is not so much money going about.

:16:12. > :16:16.So, would you support minimum pricing? Definitely, yes. There are

:16:16. > :16:22.already a range of measures in Scotland to try to reduce alcohol-

:16:22. > :16:26.related harm. Minimum pricing would be just one. The SNP government is

:16:26. > :16:30.absolutely convinced that cheap drink is making a bad situation

:16:30. > :16:34.worse. The relationship between the price of alcohol and the

:16:34. > :16:39.consumption of alcohol is well known. We see emerging evidence

:16:39. > :16:43.from Canada that a minimum price reduces consumption. It is not a

:16:43. > :16:49.magic bullet, we have never said that, but it is a crucial part of

:16:49. > :16:54.an overall approach. But some say cost is not the issue. Supermarkets

:16:54. > :16:57.are already tackling things like under-age sales, giving clear

:16:57. > :17:04.information to drinkers. That's the way you change the culture, through

:17:04. > :17:07.education. This legislation is almost certain to go through. But

:17:08. > :17:16.we will not know until the new year, after more research, what the

:17:16. > :17:19.minimum price will be. Our main headline - former Pakistani cricket

:17:19. > :17:26.captain Salman Butt and fast bowler Mohammad Asif are found guilty of

:17:26. > :17:29.conspiracy to cheat during last year's tour of England. Coming up -

:17:29. > :17:39.film becomes fact, the Indian government worker who scooped the

:17:39. > :17:56.

:17:57. > :18:00.Protesters outside St Paul's cathedral are expected to be told

:18:00. > :18:03.this afternoon to remove their tents. The City of London

:18:03. > :18:07.Corporation is to hand over a letter warning of high court action

:18:07. > :18:11.unless the camp is cleared within 48 hours. But in the last few

:18:11. > :18:15.minutes, the Chapter of St Paul's has announced it is going to

:18:15. > :18:20.suspend its current legal action against the camp. Our correspondent

:18:20. > :18:25.is at St Paul's. What has just happened? Yes, this is dramatic

:18:25. > :18:30.news, just a day after the Dean resigned, it seems the cathedral

:18:30. > :18:34.has undertaken an about turn, it is opening its doors to the protesters

:18:35. > :18:39.and engaging with them about the issue has they're concerned about,

:18:39. > :18:43.without the threat of forcible eviction. It is going to launch an

:18:43. > :18:49.initiative headed by a merchant banker, to try to reconnect, they

:18:49. > :18:53.say, the financial and the ethical. Giles Fraser, the former Canon

:18:53. > :18:56.Chancellor who resigned, is going to play a part in this. These are

:18:57. > :19:01.quite astonishing changes, and I think it is because the bid of

:19:01. > :19:05.London, Richard Chartres, has been brought in as an adviser to the

:19:05. > :19:07.cathedral. But having said all of that, the action by the City of

:19:07. > :19:13.London Corporation seems to be going ahead, which could impact on

:19:13. > :19:17.things. The land around here has a complex pattern of ownership,

:19:17. > :19:21.because of which it could be that the compass could be displaced onto

:19:21. > :19:28.cathedral and. At the moment, we're waiting to see what will happen

:19:28. > :19:31.with that. Protesters were waiting for notice to quit this morning,

:19:32. > :19:37.expecting an order to move their tents and equipment or face legal

:19:37. > :19:41.action. But they say they are in stronger heart than ever. They say

:19:41. > :19:45.they are receiving supplies of money and new campaigners, and do

:19:45. > :19:49.not intend to go anywhere. We have just had the example of the

:19:49. > :19:55.appalling eviction at Dale Farm. If it becomes apparent that that might

:19:55. > :20:00.happen here, more and more people will come to help us. You assume

:20:00. > :20:04.that I do not hold the same views as you... The day after the Dean

:20:04. > :20:10.resigned, the third member of the clergy to step down, Anglicans are

:20:10. > :20:16.asking how the cathedral reached this position. The idea of forcibly

:20:16. > :20:22.removing the protesters is just too far for any Christian body to go.

:20:22. > :20:29.It is a ridiculous step. Unless they pull back from that, which I

:20:29. > :20:33.do not think they can or will, it is going to get worse. St Pauls

:20:33. > :20:39.says it is playing no part in today's formal legal notice, and

:20:39. > :20:43.that it still hopes for a peaceful resolution. The Bishop of London

:20:43. > :20:47.has said today that alarm bells are ringing all over the world, and the

:20:47. > :20:51.cathedral once emphatically to open its doors and enter into

:20:52. > :20:58.discussions with the protesters. It seems to be a rather fluid

:20:59. > :21:01.Tougher penalties for people who belong to gangs, but also help for

:21:02. > :21:04.those wanting to leave them, are some of the proposals to tackle

:21:04. > :21:07.gang culture being unveiled later today by the Home secretary,

:21:07. > :21:09.Theresa May. The plans for England and Wales are also likely to

:21:10. > :21:18.include proposals to toughen up some punishments for other gang-

:21:18. > :21:22.related crimes. Our home affairs correspondent, Tom Symonds, reports.

:21:22. > :21:30.Stockwell, south London. We are with a group of young men who have

:21:30. > :21:35.lived the gang life for years, and now want out. Right over where the

:21:35. > :21:39.telephone box is... This man watched a motorcycle hit man killed

:21:39. > :21:47.his friend just six months ago. saw him stop, he put his hands up

:21:47. > :21:54.to the motorbike person, what do you mean? Then I heard shots.

:21:54. > :21:57.British 20-year-old do not speak like this. No-one wants to die.

:21:57. > :22:03.crucial question for the Government - how do young people end up living

:22:03. > :22:08.like this? It has been since I was nine, no family members looking

:22:08. > :22:14.after me, I'm by myself in the park, crossing the road by myself,

:22:14. > :22:18.meeting new people. And so the early years of their lives, on

:22:18. > :22:22.estates like this, is where the Government's new strategy starts.

:22:22. > :22:25.Crucially, we want to try and prevent young people getting

:22:25. > :22:29.involved in gangs in the first place, also offer pathways out for

:22:29. > :22:35.those who do get involved, and for those who carry on, make sure the

:22:35. > :22:39.police have got the power to take action against them. That

:22:39. > :22:43.enforcement includes considering tougher penalties, possibly life,

:22:43. > :22:49.for supplying the guns which are passed around by teenage gangs on

:22:49. > :22:53.each other, and also deporting convicted gang members were

:22:53. > :22:59.possible. This strategy was triggered by the riots, but seeks

:22:59. > :23:04.to attack the whoops of the problem. Ministers will consider how gang

:23:04. > :23:07.members might be considered to leave. Back in Stockwell, one youth

:23:07. > :23:10.worker says the key is to use former gang members like him to do

:23:10. > :23:14.the persuading. It is good if you have got the experience but you

:23:14. > :23:21.have got the wisdom to turn around from that previous life. Someone

:23:21. > :23:25.like that would be ideal. Schemes like this one in Glasgow, combining

:23:25. > :23:28.enforcement with life opportunities for gang members, do work. But

:23:28. > :23:32.there are worries that the funding might not be available for schemes

:23:32. > :23:37.like that. The Government is cutting programmes, with community

:23:37. > :23:42.safety budgets being more than halved, and losing 16,000 police

:23:42. > :23:47.officers. The problem is that gang members who grow out of this sort

:23:47. > :23:52.of thing are replaced by younger ones, a generation, as one man

:23:52. > :23:55.described it, that never ends. With the prospect of harsh winter

:23:55. > :23:57.weather approaching, the Government is introducing a system of weather

:23:58. > :24:00.alerts to help protect elderly and vulnerable people in England. The

:24:01. > :24:04.Met Office will notify agencies such as the NHS and social services,

:24:04. > :24:07.who will then have to take action to ensure people are safe in their

:24:07. > :24:13.homes. But the charity Age UK says fuel prices are the biggest problem.

:24:13. > :24:16.Our health correspondent, Jane Hughes, reports. When the

:24:16. > :24:20.temperature drops, it can take its toll on the oldest and most

:24:20. > :24:25.vulnerable in society. Cold weather increases the risk of heart attacks,

:24:25. > :24:28.strokes, respiratory problems and falls. It is responsible for one in

:24:28. > :24:38.falls. It is responsible for one in 20 of all deaths in the UK. The new

:24:38. > :24:48.

:24:48. > :24:52.alerts are designed to tackle that The Government is also promising

:24:52. > :24:58.some extra money -- money to help vulnerable people heat and insulate

:24:58. > :25:01.their homes, though it had previously cut funding. None of

:25:01. > :25:07.this comforts Tina Watkin, who just cannot afford to keep her home warm.

:25:07. > :25:11.I have put it on for 20 minutes, just to come into. But I do not

:25:11. > :25:18.have it on for hours on end, I just could not afford it. I do have a

:25:18. > :25:23.gas fire, which, if I'm really cold, I get nearer to! Scotland, Wales

:25:23. > :25:27.and Northern Ireland already have their own cold weather plans, but

:25:27. > :25:31.campaigners say the rising cost of fuel is the big issue. It is going

:25:31. > :25:36.to need something dramatic to make a real difference, to get rid of

:25:36. > :25:41.those winter deaths, and all the misery and unhappiness and indeed

:25:41. > :25:46.cost to the Health Service. From my point of view, it is about what we

:25:46. > :25:51.do this winter, in relation to the NHS and local authorities, to make

:25:51. > :25:56.sure we have identified holeable people. Sometimes it is because of

:25:56. > :26:02.issues relating to the cost of fuel, sometimes it is because we could do

:26:02. > :26:07.much more in terms of energy efficiency, insulation, helping

:26:07. > :26:11.them to have a better heating system. Last winter's weather may

:26:11. > :26:16.seem a distant memory, but before long, we could all be battling with

:26:16. > :26:19.the cold again, putting the most vulnerable at risk. Now how about

:26:19. > :26:22.this for a case of life imitating art? A government clerk from a poor

:26:22. > :26:26.region of India has become the first person to scoop the million

:26:26. > :26:29.dollar prize on the Indian version of the game show Who Wants To Be A

:26:29. > :26:31.Millionaire? Sushil Kumar's win echoes the plot of the Oscar-

:26:31. > :26:41.winning film Slumdog Millionaire, as our correspondent Rajini

:26:41. > :26:41.

:26:41. > :26:44.Vaidyanathan reports. Building up to the million dollar question for

:26:44. > :26:50.Sushil Kumar. It was time for a quick drink of water to calm the

:26:50. > :27:00.nerves. Even the host, Hollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, was

:27:00. > :27:04.

:27:04. > :27:07.feeling the tension. -- Bollywood. Sushil Kumar and his wife are

:27:07. > :27:11.currently staying in an expensive hotel in Mumbai. It is the first

:27:11. > :27:15.time they have ever flown anywhere, and he has ever had a smart pair of

:27:15. > :27:18.shoes. The winning moment is yet to be broadcast on Indian television.

:27:18. > :27:23.But it is still fresh in the mind of Sushil Kumar.

:27:23. > :27:29.TRANSLATION: I have struggled a lot in my life. I still believe this is

:27:29. > :27:33.a dream. I told the presenter that if I do not see the episode where I

:27:33. > :27:36.won on the television, I will still believe it is a dream. I cannot

:27:36. > :27:41.believe I have achieved this after all of the years of hardship and

:27:41. > :27:45.struggle. The story echoes the plot of the Oscar-winning film Slumdog

:27:45. > :27:55.Millionaire, where a boy from a humble background scooped the top

:27:55. > :27:56.

:27:56. > :28:00.prize on a game show. The right answer! It is a far cry from Sushil

:28:01. > :28:05.Kumar's life back in his village in Bihar, where he earns less than

:28:05. > :28:09.�100 a month. He had a basic education, he says he picked up his

:28:09. > :28:15.general knowledge from listening to the BBC World Service.

:28:15. > :28:18.TRANSLATION: I read magazines and newspapers and listen to the BBC

:28:18. > :28:24.Hindi Service, which gives current affairs in a comprehensive manner.

:28:24. > :28:28.I listen to it a lot. People here in the area where the film Slumdog

:28:28. > :28:32.Millionaire was set say they will be watching the real live

:28:33. > :28:36.performance. Sushil Kumar's is a story of success against the odds.

:28:36. > :28:40.Here in India, the land of Bollywood, it resonates so much

:28:40. > :28:45.because everybody loves a happy ending. He might have a cheque, but

:28:45. > :28:50.he has not received his winnings yet. He says he will donate much of

:28:50. > :28:55.it to building a school, as well as a library for himself. Like most

:28:55. > :29:01.overnight billionaires, he promises the money will not change him. It's

:29:01. > :29:04.time now for the weather forecast, with mean a ridge. We have got some

:29:04. > :29:11.fine weather at the moment. Some good sunshine this afternoon. For

:29:11. > :29:13.many, it will be dry. We have had a bit more cloud across the south-

:29:13. > :29:19.bit more cloud across the south- east corner. That is taking some

:29:19. > :29:23.time to clear away, but behind it, plenty of fine weather. Over the

:29:23. > :29:28.next couple of hours, it will continue to be sunny for the south-

:29:29. > :29:35.west of England, apart from a few showers around the coast. Again, in

:29:35. > :29:41.Wales, just the odd shower. Otherwise, dry and bright. In

:29:41. > :29:47.Northern Ireland, unlike yesterday, plenty of sunshine. There are some

:29:47. > :29:52.showers in Scotland, particularly in the north-west. It will be

:29:52. > :30:02.cooler in eastern Scotland, despite the bright weather. More cloud in

:30:02. > :30:05.

:30:05. > :30:09.East Anglia and the south-east of England. It is still miles. -- mild.

:30:09. > :30:18.There will be some mist and fog overnight, but it will be breezy in

:30:18. > :30:25.the west. We will just about get down into single figures tonight.

:30:25. > :30:33.Some early brightness in the east tomorrow morning. Out towards the

:30:33. > :30:42.west, a very windy day. It will be more cloudy. But despite that cloud,

:30:42. > :30:47.it is still going to be mild. The wettest of the weather holding off

:30:47. > :30:51.until later in the afternoon. It will be moving through Northern

:30:51. > :30:54.Ireland and the south-west of England. It is linked with this

:30:54. > :30:58.deep low pressure in the Atlantic. It is the same system which brought

:30:58. > :31:08.the snow to the United States over the weekend, but having travelled

:31:08. > :31:13.

:31:13. > :31:18.over the Atlantic, it will be not snow but rain for us. Some frequent

:31:18. > :31:23.checks on Thursday, at times they're likely to be heavy,

:31:23. > :31:33.especially for southern and western areas. We have still got the breeze

:31:33. > :31:39.
