:00:08. > :00:13.David Cameron tells the Greek people they must decide, once and

:00:13. > :00:16.for all, if they want to stay in the Euro. He warns that failure to

:00:16. > :00:24.provide clarity could be disastrous, and he issues a clear message to

:00:24. > :00:27.them. There is a choice. You can either vote to stay in the euro,

:00:27. > :00:29.with all the commitments that you've made or if you vote another

:00:29. > :00:31.way, you are effectively voting to leave.

:00:31. > :00:36.The murder of the Warrington teenager, Shafilea Ahmed - her

:00:39. > :00:44.into whether the Culture Secretary failed to register donations from

:00:44. > :00:54.media companies. And remembering Robin Gibb. The music world pays

:00:59. > :01:05.tribute to the singer-songwriter, I'm very sad. Of course, as sad as

:01:05. > :01:09.I am for Robin, I wonder how Barry's feeling. I hope he knows

:01:09. > :01:12.our hearts are bleeding for him. Later on BBC London: A new team of

:01:12. > :01:14.specially trained medics are to be deployed on the London Underground.

:01:40. > :01:43.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. David Cameron has

:01:43. > :01:46.told the Greek people they should decide once and for all whether

:01:46. > :01:50.they want to stay in the eurozone. The Prime Minister was speaking in

:01:50. > :01:53.America, where he's attending a NATO summit with other world

:01:53. > :01:59.leaders. He suggested that forth coming elections in Greece would,

:01:59. > :02:00.in effect, be a referendum on the euro and said failure to provide

:02:00. > :02:06.clarity could prove disastrous for the world economy.

:02:06. > :02:10.Our Europe Correspondent Matthew Price reports. In Britain, there

:02:10. > :02:14.are increasing concerns about the effect of the eurozone problems.

:02:14. > :02:18.David Cameron is now trying to focus minds on the latest stage of

:02:18. > :02:23.this crisis. We now have to send a very clear message to people in

:02:23. > :02:26.Greece. There is a choice. You can either vote to stay in the euro,

:02:26. > :02:31.with all the commitments that you've made or if you vote another

:02:31. > :02:36.way, you are effectively voting to leave. He's not the first to tell

:02:36. > :02:42.Greece that depending on who it chooses for its next government,

:02:42. > :02:46.the result could lead it out of the euro. Cameron is right. Greece is

:02:46. > :02:49.at a cross roads. If they were to leave the eurozone, then Europe

:02:49. > :02:55.would have to act fast. It would have to make sure that there could

:02:55. > :03:02.not be a run on banks in say, Italy or Spain. Europe would have to make

:03:02. > :03:05.sure that overall financial markets can remain calm. For many, acting

:03:05. > :03:09.fast requires a change in thinking from the German leader Angela

:03:09. > :03:13.Merkel, under pressure at the meetings, to relax her insistence

:03:13. > :03:19.that governments must not borrow more to get growth moving again.

:03:19. > :03:24.But in two days' time in Brussels, at an informal EU summit, the new

:03:24. > :03:28.French President and others will push for her to relax that. At a

:03:28. > :03:32.June 10 meeting Italy joins France to try and soften the German

:03:32. > :03:38.position. They need clear plans in place, David Cameron says, by the

:03:38. > :03:43.time Greeks vote on June 17. The expectation is this man will do

:03:43. > :03:47.well in Greece's election. Alexis Tsipras believes the cuts and tax

:03:47. > :03:55.rises Greece has imposed on its people, in return for emergency

:03:55. > :03:59.loans, are not working. TRANSLATION: Do we want the support

:03:59. > :04:03.of the European Union? Yes, but we want the money of taxpayers to have

:04:03. > :04:07.results. We've had two bail out package that's went into the

:04:07. > :04:10.rubbish bin, no a bottomless pit. Here in Brussels they know there's

:04:10. > :04:15.nothing inevitable about Greece leaving the euro, but the chance

:04:15. > :04:19.that it might has increased in recent weeks. Officials have very

:04:19. > :04:27.little time to put in place sufficient safe guards to make sure

:04:27. > :04:30.that if it does go, they are ready. In a moment we'll be speaking to

:04:30. > :04:35.Mark Lowen in Athens, but first to Chicago and our political

:04:35. > :04:41.correspondent Norman Smith. Norman, how much impact do you think Mr

:04:41. > :04:44.Cameron's words will have on those countries in the eurozone? It seems

:04:44. > :04:47.to me Mr Cameron is in the inindividualious position of being

:04:47. > :04:52.outside the eurozone, desperately trying to influence decisions

:04:52. > :04:55.inside the zone. He is in the position of a rather ashen face

:04:55. > :05:00.back-seat passenger barking instructions at the motorist to

:05:00. > :05:04.avoid the oncoming traffic. His fear is if there is no clarity or

:05:04. > :05:07.decision, the risk is of a greater economic implosion with greater

:05:07. > :05:11.ramifications for Britain, which is why he has set this one-month

:05:11. > :05:14.deadline to save the euro. One month until he says eurozone

:05:14. > :05:21.leaders must decide whether Greece can stay within the single currency.

:05:21. > :05:24.But it seems to me, he personally is becoming increasingly

:05:24. > :05:29.pessimistic about the prospects for Greece staying in the currency. He

:05:29. > :05:33.is no longer talking about eurozone leaders taking decisive action.

:05:33. > :05:38.He's telling them to take decisive contingency measures n. Other words,

:05:38. > :05:40.he is telling them to begin thinking what was previously

:05:40. > :05:43.inthinkable, the break up of the single currency.

:05:43. > :05:48.Thanks very much. Let's talk to our correspondent Mark Lowen, who's in

:05:48. > :05:54.Athens. Pressure increasing on Greece to make a decision whether

:05:54. > :05:58.they want to stay in or out of the euro. What dot people there want?

:05:58. > :06:01.Most Greeks want what David Cameron and other EU leaders say could be

:06:01. > :06:06.impossible, they want to get rid of the austerity measures, cost

:06:06. > :06:10.cutting that they say have brought this country to its knees, but they

:06:10. > :06:13.want to stay in the euro. David Cameron and other leaders have said

:06:13. > :06:17.Greece can't have both. It needs to make a decision, either it accepts

:06:17. > :06:22.further cost cutting or it accepts to leave the euro. He is in a

:06:22. > :06:27.strong position in all of this, because polls show that about 75%

:06:27. > :06:31.of Greeks want to keep the euro. So if the whole election here, if the

:06:32. > :06:34.narrative here can be framed in terms of either austerity or the

:06:34. > :06:40.euro, perhaps the majority of Greeks can be persuaded to bite the

:06:40. > :06:43.bullet. There is a lot of frustration here at yet another EU

:06:43. > :06:47.leader waving into the debate, sticking to the path of austerity.

:06:47. > :06:51.Austerity has pushed up unemployment here to record levels,,

:06:51. > :06:54.a third of Greeks below the poverty line. It will be a fascinating

:06:54. > :07:01.election here. If it is a referendum on the euro, it would be

:07:01. > :07:06.a high stakes gamble for the eurozone as a whole. Thank you.

:07:06. > :07:09.The NATO leaders who are meeting in Chicago discussing relations with

:07:09. > :07:12.Afghanistan after the planned withdrawal of troops in 2014.

:07:12. > :07:15.They'll consider how much money is needed to continue to support

:07:15. > :07:21.Afghanistan and who's going to pay. Our defence correspondent Caroline

:07:21. > :07:25.Wyatt reports. Against a dramatic back drop of Soldier Field, a

:07:25. > :07:30.memorial to those who gave their lives in combat, NATO leaders

:07:30. > :07:35.gathered for the traditional family photo. A souvenir of Chicago 2012.

:07:35. > :07:38.But like any family gathering, things rarely go as smoothly as

:07:38. > :07:41.planned. Different members want different things. Here, it's France

:07:41. > :07:45.that wants to pull combat troops out of Afghanistan, sooner than

:07:45. > :07:47.NATO would like, putting France's new leader, Francois Hollande, on a

:07:47. > :07:51.collision course with the rest. Though most were keen to play it

:07:52. > :07:56.down. It's disappointing that the French have chose ton take their

:07:56. > :07:59.combat troops out by the end of this year. But it's reassuring that

:07:59. > :08:05.they've agreed they will have a continued presence, a continued

:08:05. > :08:09.involvement in the ISAF mission. Other reassurances were given by

:08:09. > :08:13.President Obama to President Karzai, even as troops begin to leave. Some

:08:13. > :08:15.NATO members are proving slow to split the bill, to pay for Afghan

:08:15. > :08:22.forces in the future. There are hope that's will be agreed on here

:08:22. > :08:27.today. By the middle of 2013, we expect the Afghan forces to be

:08:28. > :08:33.taking the lead for security right across the country. As they step

:08:33. > :08:38.forward, our focus will shift from combat to support, but we will

:08:38. > :08:42.remain combat ready. What won't be agreed is a deal with neighbouring

:08:42. > :08:50.Pakistan on re-opening its borders to NATO convoys, despite the

:08:50. > :08:53.Pakistani leader's neb lus presence here. The aim of the summit is

:08:53. > :08:57.reassure Afghanistan that NATO remains committed, while reassuring

:08:57. > :09:02.voters in the West that soon their forces will be home. Not soon

:09:02. > :09:04.enough, though, for the demonstrators outside the summit,

:09:04. > :09:09.expressing their frustration for the war that's lasted more than a

:09:09. > :09:17.decade and cost thousands of lives and billions of dollars. While

:09:17. > :09:21.other spending has been cut back. A mother and father ah, cuesed of

:09:21. > :09:26.murdering their teenage daughter v, gone on trial. 17-year-old Shafilea

:09:26. > :09:29.Ahmed disappeared from her home in Warrington in September 2003. Her

:09:29. > :09:31.remains were found in Cumbria five months later. Her parents deny

:09:31. > :09:41.murder. Judith Moritz is at Chester Crown

:09:41. > :09:42.

:09:42. > :09:49.Court and joins us now. What's happened in court so far? Ist car

:09:49. > :09:53.Ahmed and his wife listened as the case against them were set out.

:09:53. > :09:57.They heard how they embarked on a campaign of domestic violence

:09:57. > :10:00.against their daughter designed so she would behave in the way they

:10:00. > :10:04.expected. The court heard that she was a young British girl, of

:10:04. > :10:07.Pakistani origin, and that her parents had set out standards for

:10:07. > :10:10.her that she was reluctant to follow. In particular the jury

:10:10. > :10:15.heard she wanted to have boyfriends, in common with lots of teenage

:10:15. > :10:19.girls. That caused great friction at home, they were told. So on

:10:19. > :10:22.several occasions the jury heard that she ran away from home. One

:10:22. > :10:26.time she drank bleach in what was called an act of desperation. That

:10:26. > :10:33.happened the court heard, when she was in Pakistan. The prosecution

:10:33. > :10:37.say she was take thrn to be married against her will. We heard Shafilea

:10:37. > :10:42.Ahmed had gone missing from home on September 11, 2003, she wasn't

:10:42. > :10:46.reported missing by her family. A week later, it was a teacher who

:10:47. > :10:50.reported her missing. Then her body was discovered four months later,

:10:50. > :10:54.some distance away in Cumbria. The point about this case, the jury

:10:55. > :11:00.have been told today, the reason it's taken so long to come to trial

:11:00. > :11:04.here is that it wasn't until August last year when Shafilea Ahmed's

:11:04. > :11:08.sister told police that she saw their parents murder her that this

:11:08. > :11:18.trial then began, the process of coming to court. It's important to

:11:18. > :11:21.say both her parents deny murder. Thank you.

:11:21. > :11:25.The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, Sir John Lyon has

:11:25. > :11:28.launched an inquiry into whether the Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt,

:11:28. > :11:30.failed to register several donations from media companies

:11:30. > :11:33.while the Conservatives were in Opposition. It follows a complaint

:11:33. > :11:40.from a Labour MP. Our Political Correspondent, Ben Geoghegan is at

:11:40. > :11:44.Westminster. Ben, what do we know about these donations? These are

:11:44. > :11:47.donations described as donations in the register of MPs' financial

:11:47. > :11:52.interests. In fact what they refer to are a series of sponsored

:11:52. > :11:55.meetings that were set up by various media companies when the

:11:55. > :12:01.Conservatives were in Opposition. These are meetings that were set up

:12:01. > :12:05.in order to inform members of the Conservative frontbench about

:12:05. > :12:10.developments in the media. What the commissioner will be looking into

:12:10. > :12:16.is an apparent discrepancy in the records that MPs gave of their

:12:16. > :12:21.attendance or otherwise at those meetings. Ed vaizy says he went to

:12:21. > :12:25.eight of these meetings. He said they amounted to about �27,000 to

:12:25. > :12:31.set these meetings up. That's the amount of money that he benefited

:12:31. > :12:34.from. He also said in his declaration that the Culture

:12:34. > :12:40.Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, attended those meetings as well. But at the

:12:40. > :12:43.time, the register did not reflect that. It's only recently that Mr

:12:43. > :12:48.Hunt has updated the records to reflect the fact he attended three

:12:48. > :12:55.out of eight meetings. He has now corrected the record. His officials

:12:55. > :12:58.say it was due to miscommunication. Thank you.?. The Business Secretary

:12:58. > :13:02.Vince Cable has criticised a Government commissioned report that

:13:02. > :13:09.says it should be easier for companies to sack workers. The idea

:13:09. > :13:12.for so-called no-fault dismissals is included in a report by Adrian

:13:12. > :13:16.Beecroft, which will be published this week. David Cameron said the

:13:16. > :13:19.proposals will be examined and they're expected to be supported by

:13:19. > :13:23.some Tory MPs, but not by the Liberal Democrats.

:13:23. > :13:28.Britain has already got a very flexible, cooperative labour force.

:13:28. > :13:33.This is what you see here in this steel plant, the workforce have

:13:33. > :13:37.made a lot of this happen. Last week I was at Ellesmere Port where

:13:37. > :13:39.we have General Motors investing in Vauxhall. One of the things that

:13:39. > :13:42.attracted them is that British workers are cooperative and

:13:42. > :13:48.flexible. We don't need to scare the whits out of workers with

:13:48. > :13:52.threats to dismiss them. It's the wrong approach. It's emerged that

:13:52. > :13:54.police forces in England, Wales and Northern Ireland have been storing

:13:54. > :14:00.hundreds of body parts and human organs for far longer than

:14:00. > :14:03.necessary. An audit by the Association of Chief Police

:14:03. > :14:07.Officers found almost 500 samples, some of which relate to cases from

:14:07. > :14:13.as far back as 50 years ago. Police are now in the process of informing

:14:13. > :14:17.people's families. The funeral for Abdel Basset Ali

:14:17. > :14:22.al-Megrahi, the only man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing in 1988 is

:14:22. > :14:25.taking place in Libya today. He died from prostate cancer at his

:14:25. > :14:27.home in Tripoli yesterday. He was released from prison on

:14:27. > :14:30.compassionate grounds by the Scottish Government three years ago.

:14:30. > :14:39.This report from our World Affairs Correspondent, Bridget Kendall,

:14:39. > :14:43.contains flash photography. Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi on his sick

:14:43. > :14:46.bed in Libya last year after the Gaddafi regime fell, the only man

:14:46. > :14:50.ever convicted of the Lockerbie bombing. With his funeral today,

:14:50. > :14:56.one chapter ends, but does his death mean the full story of what

:14:56. > :15:00.happened may never be told? Outside their home in Tripoli yesterday,

:15:00. > :15:04.relatives prepared for today's funeral. The family has always

:15:04. > :15:07.insisted that the UN-sponsored court case, that led to al-

:15:07. > :15:15.Megrahi's imprisonment in a Scottish jail, made him a scapegoat

:15:15. > :15:21.and the real culprits haven't been There was something strange about

:15:21. > :15:27.the case, said his older brother. He asked why he was the only person

:15:27. > :15:33.convicted of the act. The devastation caused by the explosion

:15:33. > :15:37.of the Pan Am flight 103 jet over Lockerbie in 1988 killed 270 people.

:15:38. > :15:41.A memorial there bares homage to their deaths. Among the relatives

:15:41. > :15:45.of victims in America, most are convinced of Abdel Basset Ali al-

:15:45. > :15:50.Megrahi's guilt, but think he could not have done it on his own.

:15:50. > :15:55.There is more to the story that must be solved. We need more truth

:15:55. > :16:02.to come out. We need more of the criminals involved in the bombing.

:16:02. > :16:08.We need them to be exposed. 2009 and Abdel Basset Ali al-

:16:08. > :16:12.Megrahi arrives home to a triumphant welcome in Libya, after

:16:12. > :16:16.being controversially released from jail. Now both he and gad good gad

:16:17. > :16:22.are dead. Libya's new government say it is has not shut the file,

:16:22. > :16:26.but will the full truth ever come out? A suicide bomb attack in Yemen

:16:26. > :16:32.has killed dozens of people and injured hundreds more. The attack

:16:32. > :16:38.near the palace in the capital of Sanaa happened when a man in army

:16:38. > :16:43.uniform detonated explosives as the unit was practising for a parade.

:16:43. > :16:48.Let's speak to our Security Correspondent, Frank Gardiner. Do

:16:48. > :16:54.we know what went on and who may be hind this? Well, I think that some

:16:54. > :17:00.may be thinking that Yemen is a distant place to go to, so why

:17:00. > :17:03.should this matter, but it is in Yemen that Al-Qaeda has its most

:17:03. > :17:10.dangerous branch. What has happened today is that a

:17:10. > :17:16.man dressed in a military uniform had an explosive built belt on

:17:16. > :17:20.beneath the uniform. He detonated it in the crowd there. That was in

:17:20. > :17:25.a rehearsal for tomorrow's Unification Parade. They told the

:17:25. > :17:30.media privately that they did it, that it was a message to the Yemeni

:17:30. > :17:36.new President to expect a new quarter from them. There is a

:17:36. > :17:40.ongoing campaign, backed by the US, to expose Al-Qaeda from Yemen. Only

:17:40. > :17:44.Al-Qaeda are capable of doing such a big and powerful and devastating

:17:44. > :17:49.explosion as this. Thank you very much.

:18:57. > :19:03.# I feel I'm going back to Massachusetts # With his slightly

:19:03. > :19:06.quavering voice, Robin Gibb was a 17-year-old toothy man, who was

:19:06. > :19:10.also playing number ones. He performed in the Bee Gees for more

:19:10. > :19:16.than ten years. Is it true you write your own

:19:17. > :19:21.pieces, Barry? Robin, here in the middle, had begun performing when

:19:21. > :19:26.the Gibb family moved from Manchester to Australia. A DJ

:19:26. > :19:33.spotlighted them and called them the Bee Gees.

:19:33. > :19:37.Next to Lennon and McCartney there has been nothing like this

:19:37. > :19:41.phenomena of the Bee Gees. We have heard rumours that the

:19:41. > :19:46.group is splitting up, can you verify that? If I were to say this

:19:46. > :19:51.was true, I would be the President of Russia! Despite what Robin said

:19:51. > :19:56.in public, there were tensions, Robin left at one point, feeling

:19:56. > :20:02.that Barry was getting all of the attention, but they reformed and in

:20:02. > :20:06.the '70s created a new sound. At the peak of Saturday Night Fever,

:20:34. > :20:40.could sing. # Suddenly everything I ever wanted

:20:40. > :20:49.had passed me by... # Robin had a wonderful, witty sense of humour.

:20:49. > :20:52.He will certainly be missed. Teetotal, vegetarian and rather

:20:52. > :20:57.unconventional, but his legacy are those songs.

:20:58. > :21:02.I can't think of Robin without thinking of Barry and Maurice, they

:21:03. > :21:07.were just the best band, for me, the best band. They were wonderful

:21:07. > :21:14.singers, great writers, so I am very sad.

:21:14. > :21:19.# We're living in a world fools, breaking a spell... # There were

:21:19. > :21:24.some solo hits, but his place in history is with his brothers, one

:21:24. > :21:29.of pop's greatest song writing teams.

:21:29. > :21:32.Robin Gibb, who has died at the age of 62.

:21:32. > :21:38.The actress Carey Mulligan has become an ambassador for the

:21:38. > :21:43.Alzheimer's disease to help to promote awareness of the condition.

:21:43. > :21:48.Her grandmother was diagnosed with the disease eight years ago.

:21:48. > :21:53.Strong bonds across generations. Carey Mulligan, here with her

:21:53. > :21:59.mother, Nano, spent many happy childhood holidays with her

:21:59. > :22:04.grandmother, who she calls Nans. Eight years ago, she was diagnosed

:22:04. > :22:09.with Alzheimer's. The actress remembers the confuse -- the

:22:09. > :22:14.confusion as the disease took hold. He is was distressed, she could not

:22:15. > :22:19.remember my A-levels, she would go for walks, she had done them

:22:20. > :22:26.hundreds of time, then we would get a phone call it was disstressing,

:22:26. > :22:31.she was aware of what was happening to her. The more she knew this what

:22:31. > :22:34.happening, being forgetful, she was reminded of her mother who had

:22:34. > :22:41.Alzheimer's. She does not communicate very much anymore. She

:22:41. > :22:46.does not really recognise, but she has this amazing preergs for music,

:22:46. > :22:53.which she always has had. To see her light up when it is played it

:22:53. > :22:57.is a key to her and a way that we still communicate with her in a way.

:22:57. > :23:01.I'm Carey Mulligan... Now she wants to give something back. Here,

:23:01. > :23:05.joining in an art workshop for people with dementia in north

:23:05. > :23:08.London. She feels that her experience and professional could

:23:08. > :23:13.be harn ased to raise public awareness.

:23:13. > :23:17.The Alzheimer's disease hope that this can them reach a new audience

:23:17. > :23:24.to promote a wider and deeper understanding of dementia with the

:23:24. > :23:29.message that people with the condition can live well.

:23:29. > :23:33.It is day three of the Olympic Torch Relay. It's been making its

:23:34. > :23:39.way from Exeter to Taunton. There was a small hitch along the way

:23:39. > :23:42.earlier, the flame went out it was attached to the side of David

:23:42. > :23:47.Follett's wheelchair in great Torrington at the time. The

:23:47. > :23:52.organisers blamed a faulty burner, a replacement was lit from the so-

:23:52. > :23:57.called mother flame, carried inside an accompanying vehicle.

:23:57. > :24:03.Cricket and England are closing in on victory on the final day of the

:24:03. > :24:10.first Test against the windsis at Lord's. At launch chasing 191 to

:24:10. > :24:14.win. The Test and it did not look like

:24:14. > :24:20.there would be a fifth day, but the stirring fight back from the windis

:24:20. > :24:26.has given them a chance of victory. It was a time for calm heads. Enter

:24:26. > :24:31.Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell. But the tourists hoped to nip a

:24:31. > :24:36.couple of wickets. Kemar Roach did a little bit of damage.

:24:36. > :24:42.Jonathan Trott lucky to find the edge, but he did not learn from his

:24:42. > :24:48.mistake. The next bail, a carbon copy with a different result.

:24:48. > :24:54.There were celebrations. It is not the West Indies attack of

:24:54. > :25:00.old, Kevin Pietersen treated it as such with a trademark shot.

:25:00. > :25:05.Underestimate them at your peril, the next ball, KP tried the came

:25:05. > :25:10.swipe and came undone, much to the mirth of his opponents. England in

:25:10. > :25:15.trouble, Cook tried to put an end to what has been a very manic

:25:15. > :25:19.Monday. He seems to have his eye on the ball, maybe too firmly at times,

:25:19. > :25:24.but all smiles after as Cook deals with the pressure. Mr Reliable

:25:25. > :25:33.coming to the forefor an England in need, the only shame is that Lord's

:25:34. > :25:38.is not packed to witness it. The Chelsea Flower Show opens today

:25:38. > :25:43.with a visit from the Queen and Prince Philip. To mark the Dymond

:25:43. > :25:46.five lions and unicorns made of flowers are on display. Corgis are

:25:46. > :25:51.expected to make an appearance too, apparently.

:25:52. > :25:56.Sophie is there for us. Well, have a look at this, it is a

:25:56. > :26:00.magical pyramid garden. It is literally the tallest structure

:26:00. > :26:07.here at the Chelsea Flower Show this year. These are gardens on top

:26:07. > :26:10.of gardens. This is an urban garden. You can see here beside me this

:26:11. > :26:18.rather strange-looking hanging basket of a seat. With me to shed

:26:18. > :26:24.light on this is Esther Rantzen. You are Chelsea regular? I am. This

:26:24. > :26:29.is the most magical show. It is proof of what you can do in such a

:26:29. > :26:33.small place. The idea to have, for example, down there, a tiny tiny

:26:34. > :26:39.greenhouse growing all sorts of vegetables there, and next to it a

:26:39. > :26:44.pear tree, then up on this level, on every level has been planted

:26:44. > :26:48.jasmine to make it fragrant in the evenings and bamboo and palms.

:26:48. > :26:55.There is even a shower! It is incredible. It looks gorgeous.

:26:55. > :27:01.Provided you are not overlooked too many neighbours! And not too cold!

:27:01. > :27:06.What is so glorious is that people think you need acres to make a

:27:06. > :27:09.garden, Diarmuid Gavin is saying you can plant what you like in a

:27:09. > :27:12.compressed space. Yes, this is Diarmuid Gavin's

:27:12. > :27:18.garden, he is a very well-known gardener.

:27:18. > :27:22.Indeed, I was on Strictly with him, he did not win so many prizes them,

:27:22. > :27:27.but we love him as he is such a good gardener.

:27:27. > :27:34.Gardens in an urban area are so important, aren't they? They really

:27:34. > :27:37.are. Historical is one of the few tris -- horticultural is one of the

:27:37. > :27:41.few industries in this countrys that has increased over the year,

:27:41. > :27:47.so that is good news. And this is a special year, it is

:27:47. > :27:51.the Queen's Dymond, the Queen is the patron of the Chelsea Flower

:27:51. > :28:00.Show? Indeed. There is a theme throughout the gardens of red,

:28:00. > :28:05.white and blue. Very patriotic. We are a nation of gardeners, why not?

:28:05. > :28:10.We are going to see about 150,000 people walking through the gates of

:28:10. > :28:16.Chelsea, but a very special day for the Queen when she comes later, I

:28:16. > :28:20.understand she will be presented with a topiary Corgi! Now, a rare

:28:21. > :28:25.ring of fire solar eclipse has appeared in the skies over Tokyo

:28:25. > :28:29.for the first time in 173 years. Millions of people across Asia

:28:29. > :28:34.rushed into the streets to witness the phenomena. The eclipse takes

:28:34. > :28:36.place when the moon is at the furthest point from the earth and

:28:36. > :28:41.does not block out the sun completely.

:28:41. > :28:42.Now, are there clear skies over Britain? The latest weather from

:28:42. > :28:49.Britain? The latest weather from Nina now.

:28:49. > :28:54.A change in the weather. We are going to see a little bit of warm,

:28:54. > :28:58.-- warmth, finally. We start to see the oranges and the yellows

:28:58. > :29:02.flooding across the map. There is warm weather coming for the country.

:29:02. > :29:06.Where we have sunshine for many it will be dry and bright. There is

:29:06. > :29:10.some cloud around. We have been seeing over the central and the

:29:10. > :29:15.eastern areas the cloud, tending to break up, but still staying

:29:15. > :29:19.overcast for some of us, but a lot of sunshine, especially towards the

:29:20. > :29:26.west. So, 4.00pm, seeing things brightening up along the south

:29:26. > :29:30.coast, the temperatures reaching 19 to 20 Celsius. Parts of the

:29:30. > :29:33.Midlands and East Anglia staying cooler and cloudier.

:29:33. > :29:37.Along the east coast of England a little more cloud. A bright

:29:37. > :29:40.afternoon to come over much of Scotland. Probably some of the best

:29:40. > :29:45.temperatures in the south-west corner.

:29:45. > :29:50.Across the Western Isles, it may be damp and drizzley, but a dry

:29:50. > :29:54.afternoon in parts of Northern Ireland. A similar story in Wales.

:29:54. > :29:58.Temperatures in Cardiff climbing to 17 Celsius. For the torch relay

:29:58. > :30:03.over parts of Devon, it will be fine with sunny spells over the

:30:03. > :30:07.next couple of hours. This evening keeping the clearer spells in the

:30:07. > :30:11.west. Likely to see the return of mist and cloud over the eastern

:30:11. > :30:18.areas. Perhaps on the chilly side for some, but for parts of England

:30:18. > :30:23.and Wales by the end of the night temperatures at 10 to 13 Celsius.

:30:23. > :30:27.In the morning a Lille bit of mist and low cloud in the south-western

:30:27. > :30:37.areas. Then burning back to the coast, and it looks like being a

:30:37. > :30:38.

:30:38. > :30:43.fine day with long sunny spells. N inland the temperatures could --

:30:43. > :30:47.inland, the temperatures could reach up to 25 Celsius. Wednesday,

:30:47. > :30:52.with a little mist and low cloud in the east and the west, but for many

:30:52. > :30:56.it will be a warm and sunny day. The temperatures struggling in the

:30:56. > :31:01.east at 17 Celsius, on Thursday that mist and the low cloud

:31:01. > :31:05.persisting along the eastern coasts. By Friday a change, sunshine, that

:31:05. > :31:09.is not helping the temperatures in the east with brisk winds on Friday,

:31:09. > :31:12.but the rest of the week looks fine, dry and bright.

:31:12. > :31:16.dry and bright. More details online.
