:00:13. > :00:18.Three British soldiers, serving in Afghanistan have been killed by an

:00:18. > :00:21.Afghan policeman. They were attacked after visiting a

:00:21. > :00:25.checkpoint in the Helmand province. Their loss will be felt deeply

:00:25. > :00:29.across the task force. However, this will be nothing compared to

:00:29. > :00:35.the grief experienced by their families at home. The outgoing

:00:35. > :00:40.chairman of Barclays, Marcus Agius, says he's sorry for the rate-fixing

:00:40. > :00:45.scandal. The bank will undergo an independent review. Three police

:00:45. > :00:49.forces will not be able to provide a proper service because of budget

:00:49. > :00:52.cuts. Calls for loser ties with the European Union. The former Defence

:00:52. > :00:56.Secretary says Britain needs a new relationship with the EU. This is

:00:56. > :01:02.about a national debate. There are millions of our fellow

:01:02. > :01:05.citizens, who feel their view is not listened to. Stopping the cold

:01:05. > :01:12.callers - the service set up to block them is being ignored by some

:01:12. > :01:21.marketing companies. And the reign of Spain continues,

:01:21. > :01:23.as the country prepares to welcome Later on BBC London. Roadworks are

:01:23. > :01:25.suspended around London as the Olympic preparations get underway.

:01:48. > :01:52.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at 1pm. An Afghan

:01:52. > :01:56.policeman has shot and killed three British soldiers in Helmand

:01:56. > :01:59.province T attacks happened yesterday as the soldiers left a

:01:59. > :02:03.checkpoint. Their families have been informed. So far 26 NATO

:02:03. > :02:09.troops, including seven from Britain have been killed in so

:02:09. > :02:13.called green on blue attacks, when Afghan forces turn on their foreign

:02:13. > :02:17.colleagues. David Cameron called the deaths "appalling" and said the

:02:17. > :02:21.Government would do everything possible to learn lessons for the

:02:22. > :02:26.future. Our correspondent is in Lashkar Gah now.

:02:26. > :02:31.There is a feeling of immense loss for the British task force here. Of

:02:31. > :02:36.course it is devastating for the unit involved who have lost close

:02:36. > :02:41.comrades. It is not close whether the policeman was a Taliban

:02:41. > :02:47.infiltrator or a policeman with a personal grudge. Those details are

:02:47. > :02:53.still sketchy. The three soldiers were killed at a

:02:53. > :03:01.police checkpoint on the southern most part of this route, route 601,

:03:01. > :03:05.which snakes through the Afghan desert. They didn't die at the

:03:05. > :03:10.hands of the enemy, but at the hands of a man they believed was an

:03:10. > :03:15.ally, an Afghan policeman. On Sunday, the soldiers were at a

:03:15. > :03:19.local meeting, similar to one we filmed that same afternoon, some

:03:19. > :03:22.40kms away. It is clear how closely British forces have to work with

:03:22. > :03:28.the Afghans and have to trust them, even though all are armed.

:03:28. > :03:35.Yesterday, for reasons which are not clear, one policeman turned his

:03:35. > :03:41.weapon on two soldiers from the Welsh Guards and one from the Royal

:03:42. > :03:47.Corps of Signals. For those serving here there was shock and sadness

:03:47. > :03:51.today, but also a determination to continue their task. The task force

:03:51. > :03:55.cares deeply about all our soldiers. We are utterly determined to

:03:55. > :04:00.complete this mission. We believe in advising. We take all measures

:04:00. > :04:05.to protect our soldiers. What makes this all the more devastating is

:04:05. > :04:11.the Welsh guards have seen one comrades killed by an Afghan

:04:11. > :04:15.policeman this May. In March an Afghan serviceman shot dead two

:04:15. > :04:19.British troops. These latest deaths come, despite the extra measures

:04:19. > :04:22.taken earlier this year to protect British forces from just such

:04:22. > :04:28.attacks. Those working here say they have to work side by side with

:04:28. > :04:33.their Afghan colleagues, to help and advice them, as NATO begins its

:04:33. > :04:37.gradual withdrawal. Today, three more names will be added to the

:04:37. > :04:40.memorials here in Helmand. British soldiers trust in the Afghans they

:04:40. > :04:45.are helping will be shake and there will be an impact on morale. But

:04:45. > :04:51.above all, there is sadness here for these three deaths, but little

:04:51. > :04:55.time to mourn. This means that around a quarter of all British

:04:55. > :04:58.forces killed this year have been killed at the hands of their Afghan

:04:58. > :05:03.allies. It is clear NATO will be looking at whether there is

:05:03. > :05:07.anything at all that can be done to protect their forces as they work

:05:07. > :05:12.closely with their Afghan counter parts. What is being said by

:05:12. > :05:19.commanders here is there is no other option that working side by

:05:19. > :05:25.side is an essential part as NATO begins its gradual withdrawal.

:05:25. > :05:29.Thank you. Let's talk now to our correspondent,

:05:29. > :05:33.who joins us from the capital, Kabul. As Caroline was saying,

:05:33. > :05:39.there have been far more of those green on blue incidents this year.

:05:39. > :05:43.Why is that? Well, simply put because there are more Afghan

:05:43. > :05:47.forces than ever before. They are working more intimately with

:05:47. > :05:53.British and American troops than ever before. That's why we've seen,

:05:53. > :05:56.that is part of the reason why we've seen 26 deaths this year. Now,

:05:56. > :06:01.the international mission here in Afghanistan will say this is a tiny

:06:01. > :06:05.number when you have over 300,000 Afghan security forces, over

:06:05. > :06:09.100,000 foreign troops. This is a tiny number of such deaths. But

:06:09. > :06:13.they have a disproportionate effect and they are incredibly bad for

:06:13. > :06:22.morale and that morale and that trust is vital when these soldiers

:06:22. > :06:26.have to go out and face the Taliban. The outgoing chairman of Barclays

:06:26. > :06:31.says he sorry for the rate-fixing scandal. Mr Agius is stepping down

:06:31. > :06:35.from his post at Barclays and is chairman of the British Bankers'

:06:35. > :06:45.Association. Less than a week after the bank was fined almost �300

:06:45. > :06:47.

:06:47. > :06:51.million for fixing the LIBOR. Today the chairman Marcus Agius

:06:51. > :06:55.took his share of responsibility. He's confirmed he has resigned, but

:06:55. > :06:59.will stay until a replacement is appointed. That announcement comes

:06:59. > :07:06.after intense criticism of the bank, following news last week it was

:07:06. > :07:16.paying fines of nearly �300 million. The traders had been manipulating

:07:16. > :07:25.

:07:25. > :07:29.the interest rate. In a statement Barclays said it would carry out a

:07:29. > :07:32.root and branch review of past practises. The chief executive, Bob

:07:32. > :07:37.Diamond, is still under heavy scrutiny. There have been calls for

:07:37. > :07:42.him to quit, include from the Labour leader, who has demanded a

:07:42. > :07:45.wider investigation. There needs to be a more general change of

:07:45. > :07:49.leadership,. I don't think it is enough generally, because people

:07:49. > :07:54.going, just resigning, is not really getting to the bottom of

:07:54. > :07:57.what happened, who is responsible and punishing those who did wrong.

:07:57. > :08:03.Mr Diamond, seen here at a previous hearing is due to be questioned

:08:03. > :08:08.again by MPs on Wednesday. Some say that's the key test, because while

:08:08. > :08:13.he may attract controversy he has a proven track record at Barclays.

:08:13. > :08:18.He's good at his job. Whether he stays or goes depends on what comes

:08:18. > :08:23.out in terms of what he knew, when he knew it and the degree to which

:08:23. > :08:27.he can be held responsible for what went wrong. The rigging of the

:08:27. > :08:30.LIBOR was not restricted to Barclays. Several other leading

:08:30. > :08:34.international banks are under investigation. While those

:08:34. > :08:39.inquiries are on going, there'll be a continuing shadow over the City

:08:39. > :08:44.of London and the banking industry. This afternoon, the Government will

:08:44. > :08:48.announce an inquiry into banking standards. Not a full public

:08:48. > :08:51.inquiry like the Leveson review into the media, but something which

:08:51. > :08:55.would result in swift legislation if required. Let's pick that up

:08:55. > :08:58.with our business editor who is here. Robert, if it is not a full

:08:58. > :09:03.public inquiry that the Government are announcing, what are they

:09:03. > :09:09.likely to be saying? They are looking at two issues. One is how

:09:09. > :09:15.to make fixing interest rates a criminal offence. Let's be clear,

:09:15. > :09:19.there are those who believe that what some of these traders did may

:09:19. > :09:24.turn out to be a prosecutable offence and the Serious Fraud

:09:24. > :09:27.Office is looking at it. We heard the head of the Financial Services

:09:27. > :09:34.Authority say there are, in his view, deficiencys in the law here.

:09:34. > :09:40.That is one thing they will look at. Then there is this absolutely

:09:40. > :09:45.gripping, resson napbt issue, the inve -- the investigation into

:09:45. > :09:49.standards. That must look at how they are remunerated, the degree of

:09:49. > :09:55.regulation of their activities. Although George Osborne, I am told

:09:55. > :10:02.wants a quick and dirty probe that will allow law changes quickly. It

:10:02. > :10:06.is difficult to see how it can be that quick. Looking at Barclays, as

:10:06. > :10:11.we heard Bob Diamond appearing before MPs on Thursday, what will

:10:11. > :10:15.the key issue be for them? There are key issues. One, he'll have to

:10:15. > :10:20.demonstrate, to their satisfaction, that he genuinely did know nothing,

:10:20. > :10:22.at the relevant time, about this manipulation of interest rates. He

:10:22. > :10:28.claims this was going on without his knowledge.

:10:28. > :10:33.But one of the things that I learned yesterday was that there

:10:33. > :10:42.was a fascinating conversation with the deputy Bank of England in

:10:42. > :10:45.autumn of 2008, between Mr Diamond and Mr Paul Tucker, the deputy

:10:45. > :10:50.governor. Barclays managers got the view that the Bank of England was

:10:50. > :10:55.instructing them to rig rates. If Mr Diamond knew nothing about their

:10:55. > :10:57.activities, how was it that they found out about his interesting

:10:57. > :11:01.conversation with the Bank of England? So, big questions for him

:11:01. > :11:07.to answer, which will have an impact on his reputation and I have

:11:07. > :11:11.to say the Bank of England's reputation. Thank you. The former

:11:11. > :11:13.Defence Secretary, Liam Fox, has called for Britain to have a loser

:11:13. > :11:18.relationship with the European Union. In a speech in London he

:11:18. > :11:21.said millions of people felt they weren't being listened to and they

:11:21. > :11:24.Nottingham given consent to the current relation with the EU.

:11:24. > :11:30.Yesterday the Prime Minister suggested there could be a

:11:30. > :11:33.referendum on the relationship with Europe, but not yet.

:11:33. > :11:38.It's almost four decades since Britain had a vote on staying in

:11:38. > :11:43.Europe. Now it a club of 27 countries, over half share a

:11:43. > :11:47.currency. So, some thing it is time for another referendum. Enter a

:11:47. > :11:51.big-hitter to stir up the debate. Liam Fox wants Britain to

:11:51. > :11:54.renegotiate its relationship with Brussels and then put it to a vote.

:11:54. > :11:57.There are millions of fellow citizens who feel their view is not

:11:57. > :12:03.listened to. That changes have been made in our relationship with the

:12:03. > :12:09.European Union, that they have never given their consent to. They

:12:09. > :12:12.agreed to a Common Market, but they been delivered an intrusive

:12:12. > :12:16.relationship. They would like to have a say. The Conservatives have

:12:16. > :12:21.a long history of fractious relationships with Europe. Liam Fox

:12:21. > :12:24.compared the euro to the Titanic. Just a few days ago, Europe's

:12:24. > :12:27.leaders agreed they need to move closer together to save their

:12:27. > :12:32.currency. At that summit David Cameron said he does not want a

:12:32. > :12:35.straight in or out referendum. He said a vote may be needed to get

:12:35. > :12:38.people's full-hearted backing. Supporters say it is about a new

:12:38. > :12:43.relationship. The majority of people in this country don't want

:12:43. > :12:46.to leave the EU all together. They don't want to join the euro and

:12:46. > :12:50.sign up to further integration. If we're going to have a referendum we

:12:50. > :12:54.have to give people the choice they want - that is to say in EU but

:12:54. > :12:59.under new terms. That is to trade with Europe, but take powers away

:12:59. > :13:06.from the EU and oh range of other areas. What is clear is that Europe

:13:06. > :13:10.is changing and lots of questions are being asked about Britain's

:13:10. > :13:14.position in it. The real pressure on Cameron is not from within the

:13:14. > :13:18.party. The real pressure is from within. The pressure is UKIP. Since

:13:18. > :13:23.the last general election 1.4 million Tory voters have switched

:13:23. > :13:28.and said they will vote UKIP. If it gets stronger from here then I

:13:28. > :13:31.think the pressure will become impossible. Liam Fox and his former

:13:31. > :13:36.boss agree Britain needs to change its relationship with the people in

:13:36. > :13:39.here. The key difference though is that the Prime Minister does not

:13:39. > :13:46.envisage the UK outside of the European Union. For Liam Fox,

:13:46. > :13:51.leaving might be the answer. Nearly 6,000 police officers are

:13:51. > :13:54.being cut from front-line roles, as forces reduce spending. A report by

:13:54. > :13:58.the chief inspector for police for England and Wales says for now the

:13:58. > :14:05.cuts are being made without the public noticing, but there may be

:14:05. > :14:09.challenges ahead. This is where we want to see our

:14:09. > :14:12.police officers - on the beat, on the frontline. Today's report

:14:12. > :14:17.concludes that police forces are working hard to keep them there. It

:14:17. > :14:21.could be a challenge in the future. In total, they are cutting spending

:14:21. > :14:28.by �749 million. Mainly through cutting staff.

:14:28. > :14:35.The result - an overall number of frontline officers will fall by

:14:35. > :14:40.5,800. That is down 6%. The police themselves have protested against

:14:40. > :14:44.cuts. Today's carefully-phrased report agreed the Government was so

:14:44. > :14:48.far meeting its pledge of protecting the frontline, although

:14:48. > :14:53.it's not preserving frontline police numbers. Question - can cuts

:14:53. > :14:57.be made without the public noticing? It is proving so far, but

:14:57. > :15:02.we're only, as it were, approaching halfway through it, in terms of

:15:02. > :15:08.numbers. It will be interesting to see if

:15:08. > :15:12.that is maintained as we go forward. Cuts meant three forces may not be

:15:12. > :15:17.able to provide effective services in future. Two rural ones - Devon

:15:17. > :15:21.and Cornwall and Lincolnshire and one that's very much on the

:15:21. > :15:29.frontline, Britain's biggest, the Metropolitan Police. The force that

:15:29. > :15:32.gets extra funding because it looks like that is not ready for the

:15:32. > :15:37.storm that is brewing. We have known it is coming for two or three

:15:37. > :15:40.years now. It is worrying. The Met said it will be ready. It is

:15:40. > :15:49.developing a plan to deliver the cuts. The Government insists good

:15:49. > :15:53.Most police forces continue to cut crime, continuing to improve

:15:53. > :15:58.services to the public and showing that they can deal with the

:15:58. > :16:02.necessary budget reductions. One noticeable change, nearly a

:16:02. > :16:07.quarter of police station counters are being closed, some are replaced

:16:07. > :16:12.by access points in supermarkets and libraries.

:16:12. > :16:15.Now a quick look at the top story: Three British soldiers are serving

:16:15. > :16:19.in Afghanistan, they have been killed by an Afghan policeman. They

:16:19. > :16:24.were attacked after visiting a checkpoint in the Helmand province.

:16:24. > :16:27.Coming up, I am live at Wimbledon, where it is not a great day for

:16:27. > :16:33.watching tennis. It is chilly and rain is forecast, so will Andy

:16:33. > :16:36.Murray get to play at all? On BBC London: Less than a month to go, a

:16:36. > :16:39.comprehensive guide on where to watch and what to do during the

:16:39. > :16:42.Olympics. And we meet some of the London

:16:42. > :16:50.athletes as they make final preparations for the biggest event

:16:50. > :16:54.of their lives. The tactic of cold calling has been

:16:54. > :16:59.used for years by companies who want to talk to potential customers

:16:59. > :17:03.at home. The calls are not always welcome. If you signed up to the

:17:03. > :17:07.Telephone Preference Services, you should not receive them, but a BBC

:17:07. > :17:12.Panorama investigation found that companies are by-passing a database,

:17:12. > :17:17.so far not a single one has been found for doing so.

:17:17. > :17:21.Tony Clark has an ex-director phone number and is signed up to the

:17:21. > :17:24.Telephone Preference Services, a scheme that is supposed to prevent

:17:24. > :17:30.UK-based companies from making unwanted cold calls. Yet he is

:17:30. > :17:34.still getting up to five of them a day. He found one firm was

:17:34. > :17:41.especially persistent. I'd like to know how they know

:17:41. > :17:49.about me? How they got my details? Panorama went under cover to find

:17:49. > :17:55.out. In fact, the company calling Tony

:17:55. > :18:05.and others like him is called Central Claims Group, based outside

:18:05. > :18:06.

:18:06. > :18:10.of Manchester. In a statement, the Central Claims

:18:10. > :18:15.Group said it takes legal obligations very seriously. It does

:18:16. > :18:19.not condone the lapses that we filmed. They said they have

:18:19. > :18:24.informed all employees that introducing themselves anything

:18:24. > :18:28.other than the Central Claims Group will be regarded as grows

:18:28. > :18:33.misconduct, warranting dismissal, but what of the scheme that is

:18:33. > :18:37.supposed to block cold callers? The Direct Marketing Association runs

:18:37. > :18:41.the scheme, but the enforcement is the job of the Information

:18:41. > :18:45.Commissioner's kst office and they have not imposed fines in the last

:18:45. > :18:48.18 months. At the moment we are definitely

:18:48. > :18:53.trying to take action against the individuals. We have only had the

:18:53. > :18:56.power to fine since early January, so it is early days yet. There is a

:18:56. > :19:01.lot of money to be made, however, in this sphere.

:19:01. > :19:05.So for now, companies across the country are getting away with

:19:05. > :19:09.breaking the rules. There is more on that story in

:19:09. > :19:12.tonight's Panorama, it is called Panorama: Call Centres Uncovered at

:19:13. > :19:16.8.30pm on BBC One. The cost to the taxpayer of

:19:16. > :19:21.supporting the Royal Family rose during the past financial year.

:19:21. > :19:28.Buckingham Palace accounts show that the Queen's official

:19:28. > :19:34.expenditure went up by �200,000 to �32 .3 million.En increase of 0.26%.

:19:34. > :19:39.The Queen is to be offered the keys to the city of Edinburgh in an

:19:39. > :19:43.ancient ceremony today. She marks her Diamond Jubilee with a visit to

:19:43. > :19:46.Scotland. She and the Duke of Edinburgh are then to visit the

:19:46. > :19:50.Scottish National Portrait Gallery. Our correspondent joins us from the

:19:50. > :19:58.Palace of Holyrood House in Edinburgh. Lorna, what are we

:19:58. > :20:02.expecting in the ancient Ceremony of the Keys? The Queen comes to the

:20:02. > :20:07.Palace of Holyrood House erweek of the year towards the beginning of

:20:07. > :20:12.July. Then the palace turn noose the main working Royal headquarters,

:20:12. > :20:15.but this year they have the Royal Week timed to coincide with her

:20:15. > :20:20.Jubilee visit to Scotland. So the Ceremony of the Keys is an annual

:20:20. > :20:23.event. It is when the Queen is handed a set of keys and welcomed

:20:24. > :20:29.to her ancient and hereditary kingdom of Scotland. That is the

:20:29. > :20:31.start of a packed five-day visit. In addition to that, she will be

:20:31. > :20:36.visiting the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, tomorrow there

:20:36. > :20:41.will be a garden party here at the Palace. They are hoping that the

:20:41. > :20:46.rain holds off for that then on Wednesday she heads across to

:20:46. > :20:53.Glasgow for a service of Thanksgiving. On Thursday another

:20:53. > :21:02.significant day when Prince William, who is known in Scotland at the

:21:02. > :21:06.Earl of Strathern is made a Knight of the Thistle and on Friday she is

:21:06. > :21:10.to visit Perth. A place that was awarded city status, because of the

:21:10. > :21:14.Diamond Jubilee. The Queen is no stranger to Scotland. She spends a

:21:14. > :21:19.lot of time up at Balmoral in the north-east of Scotland every summer

:21:19. > :21:24.and spends that week here at the Palace of Holyrood House every year,

:21:24. > :21:29.but this particular visit is very special, a part of the Diamond

:21:29. > :21:32.Jubilee celebrations. Lorna, thank you very much.

:21:32. > :21:38.In Mexico, the Institutional Revolutionary Party which could've

:21:38. > :21:44.earned the party for 71 years until the end of the 21st century has

:21:44. > :21:48.returned to power. Enrique Pena Nieto won 27% of the vote in the

:21:48. > :21:53.election. Spain is reigning in Europe, at

:21:53. > :21:58.least in the football after winning the Euro 2012 final last night.

:21:58. > :22:04.Does that make this Spain's side the best football tem ever?

:22:04. > :22:10.Supporters in Madrid think so, as we have been finding out.

:22:10. > :22:18.It was one celebration after another.

:22:18. > :22:25.As the goals kept on going in... Soon, the capital's main avenues

:22:25. > :22:30.were awash with red and yellow. As people celebrated the team's

:22:30. > :22:34.third title in as many tournaments. There is an incredible atmosphere

:22:34. > :22:40.on the streets of Madrid tonight. A sea of red and yellow. People are

:22:40. > :22:45.going to party hard all night. It is crazy. I'm going to get drinks

:22:45. > :22:51.spill the on me. Spain have won in style, they will celebrate in style,

:22:51. > :22:57.they have made history tonight. COMMENTATOR: It is four! Juan Mata.

:22:57. > :23:01.On the pitch the numbers were simple. At 4-0, not even the

:23:01. > :23:05.Italians could argue that Spain were not the best. Spain's economy

:23:05. > :23:11.may be faltering... But its football team are the envy of

:23:11. > :23:14.Europe and the world. With their new record come the

:23:14. > :23:20.comparisons to some of history's greatest sides.

:23:20. > :23:25.COMMENTATOR: It is four! Like Brazil in the 1970 World Cup.

:23:25. > :23:33.So, is the Spain of today the best football team of all time? When all

:23:33. > :23:36.of this, the boys have retired after ten, 15 years, we can look

:23:36. > :23:42.back and say we were really good, maybe the best in history, maybe

:23:42. > :23:48.not, but we enjoy it a lot, winning these titles.

:23:48. > :23:53.This morning the European and the world champions left their hotel in

:23:53. > :23:58.Ukraine. There will be a victory later on today in Madrid, but bad

:23:58. > :24:04.economic news is now also the norm here. Many told us that this makes

:24:04. > :24:10.the victory even more sweet. Andy Murray takes to the grass at

:24:10. > :24:14.Wimbledon this afternoon, weather permitting. Bidding for a place in

:24:14. > :24:18.the quarter-finals. He is facing Marin Cilic.

:24:18. > :24:22.Our correspondent Katherine Downes joins us from Wimbledon now.

:24:23. > :24:28.Well, despite the gloomy weather play is underway on all courts.

:24:28. > :24:32.Andy Murray is due out on Court One later on today. Judy Murray is in

:24:32. > :24:36.charge of British women's tennis, earlier on I caught up to ask her

:24:36. > :24:42.what it is like to watch your little boy take on the hopes of

:24:42. > :24:45.nation. This is the moment that Judy Murray

:24:45. > :24:51.tells her protege, Elena Baltacha, that she is going to compete at the

:24:51. > :24:56.Olympics. Smiles and hugs, it is a new approach for Britain's women,

:24:56. > :24:58.led by the matriarch of women's British tennis.

:24:58. > :25:03.The girls are playing with confidence and belief in themselves

:25:03. > :25:07.and we have created a good team spirit. They are all supporting

:25:07. > :25:11.each other. There is much more of a family feel around the side at the

:25:11. > :25:16.moment. Judy Murray has not missed a game

:25:16. > :25:20.at Wimbledon. Overseeing from the courtside, the best performance

:25:20. > :25:25.from the British women. Her son has had to do without her

:25:26. > :25:31.at times, but for today, it is all about Andy Murray. He place Marin

:25:31. > :25:37.Cilic at Queen's, he was handed the title there after David Nalbandian

:25:37. > :25:41.lost his temper, but it has been no easy ride for Marin Cilic. His

:25:41. > :25:45.match on Saturday was the second longest in Wimbledon history, but

:25:45. > :25:50.watching her son play any opponent, even a tired one, should be a

:25:50. > :25:54.strain for his mum. I should be used to it by now, but

:25:55. > :26:00.it is still a mixture of newsa and a heart attack.

:26:00. > :26:03.It helps to keep the weight down! Can you -- he do it today, do you

:26:03. > :26:07.think? I hope so. At least today there should be no

:26:07. > :26:11.sabotage by his shorts. Andy Murray will be wearing a different style

:26:11. > :26:16.after Saturday's spillages. Yes, that happened to him three

:26:16. > :26:20.times on Saturday. It cost him points. So longer shorts and deeper

:26:20. > :26:25.pockets, though imagine that the main concern is the weather. He is

:26:25. > :26:29.out on Court One, the roof on the court is a consideration for the

:26:29. > :26:35.future. That would be small comfort for Andy Murray and the family if

:26:35. > :26:39.they see him today before it rains. Usain Bolt has been beaten by his

:26:39. > :26:49.training partner Yohan Blake for the second time in 48 hours. Yohan

:26:49. > :26:50.

:26:50. > :26:53.Blake won in a time of 19.8 seconds. He beat him in the 100m at the

:26:53. > :26:58.Jamaican trials on Friday. Millions of people are without

:26:58. > :27:03.power in America after storms hit the eastern coast over the weekend.

:27:03. > :27:08.The region is in the grip of a heatwave with temperatures reaching

:27:08. > :27:12.100 degrees Fahrenheit. There have been 17 weather-related deaths so

:27:12. > :27:16.far. It is slow progress to restore the

:27:16. > :27:20.spaghetti of fallen power lines as millions are waking up to another

:27:20. > :27:26.day without electricity. Storms have ripped through four

:27:26. > :27:30.states on the east coast on Friday night. With little or no warning.

:27:30. > :27:35.Hurricane force winds of up to 90 miles an hour have been uprooting

:27:35. > :27:39.trees and taking down power lines. In Virginia, an elderly coup until

:27:39. > :27:45.their 90s were killed after the house caught fire. It is thought

:27:45. > :27:48.that it was caused by sparking power lines. In Ohio a faulty

:27:48. > :27:53.generator caught fire, but this couple managed to escape.

:27:53. > :27:55.I heard a boom and then I heard him screaming that the house was on

:27:55. > :27:59.fire. Many are using public places to

:27:59. > :28:04.escape the heat. We are here to cool off. The kids

:28:04. > :28:09.have a movie. They are watching it on the laptop. So we will hang out

:28:09. > :28:13.here for a council of hours and try to find a neighbour with airb.

:28:13. > :28:17.Our house has no power. So we have come to the movies.

:28:17. > :28:23.Now, even the generators are running low. As they are used to

:28:23. > :28:27.power the airbing. -- air conditioning.

:28:27. > :28:31.Others are getting creative in order to stay cool.

:28:31. > :28:35.The record-breaking wave of the extreme weather. Violent storms

:28:35. > :28:39.blamed for at least 17 deaths. While the heatwaves and the

:28:39. > :28:46.blackouts continue, many are powerless to keep cool. The elderly

:28:46. > :28:50.are warned to take extra care. Well, a very different sort of

:28:50. > :28:54.weather here. Peter Gibbs has the weather here. Peter Gibbs has the

:28:54. > :28:57.forecast here. Well, there is more rain around

:28:57. > :29:01.this week for all of us, that is for sure.

:29:01. > :29:05.I am looking hard to find a glimmer of hope. There will be a little bit

:29:05. > :29:09.of sunshine, when the sun breaks out in the middle of the week it

:29:09. > :29:13.will feel like the early part of July, but not today for most of us.

:29:13. > :29:18.The rain has been the main story. Wimbledon is leading a charmed life

:29:18. > :29:26.so far, but see how the rain is sweeping in over Wales, the south-

:29:26. > :29:30.west of England and edging north wards. The far west coast of

:29:30. > :29:35.Scotland is holding out. Northern Ireland watch out for sharp showers.

:29:35. > :29:41.That could lead to localised flooding and the odd shower in the

:29:41. > :29:46.north of Wales and the Midlands as well. For much of rain and Wales --

:29:46. > :29:50.England and Wales, it is rain. Outbreaks of rain in Southampton or

:29:50. > :29:55.Oxford, there, expect it to get pretty wet. The rain moving into

:29:55. > :29:59.the London area, Kent just hanging on to the drier weather, but the

:29:59. > :30:03.weather temperatures are struggling. The midto high teens at the best.

:30:03. > :30:07.The north-east of England a drier slot, but here there could be

:30:07. > :30:12.showers turning up. Drifting to the north in the evening. As we get rid

:30:12. > :30:15.of one lot of rain from England and Wales overnight, there is the next

:30:15. > :30:20.lot beginning to push in to the south-west later on in the early

:30:20. > :30:25.hours. A mild night. We had midto high teens in the day, but not much

:30:25. > :30:29.lower than this tonight. On to Tuesday morning. Some brightness

:30:29. > :30:34.for the Midlands and eastern England, but the next batch of rain

:30:34. > :30:38.is marching in, to Wales, up into the north of England. Cloudier in

:30:38. > :30:44.Northern Ireland. Brightness in the north of Scotland, that is on the

:30:44. > :30:48.cool side. With the potential, with the sun, in Newcastle and Glasgow,

:30:48. > :30:53.it is 21 Celsius, but high teens if you are lucky at Wimbledon. The

:30:53. > :30:56.next couple of days will be tricky for the organisers. There will be

:30:56. > :31:03.interruptions. There is a big area of low pressure

:31:03. > :31:06.sitting over the UK. This is the sirp, but that is what we need to

:31:06. > :31:11.move in. -- this is the summer here. That is

:31:11. > :31:15.what we need to move in. This is the jet stream, we need it to move

:31:15. > :31:20.to the north but all of the charts suggesting that will not happen in

:31:20. > :31:23.at least the next couple of weeks at least the next couple of weeks

:31:23. > :31:27.and possibly beyond as well. Thank you.
