:00:08. > :00:13.The future of social care in England. Ministers set out plans

:00:13. > :00:15.this lunchtime. Loans will be on offer to those in

:00:15. > :00:24.residential homes, but there's no conclusion on reforming the funding

:00:24. > :00:26.of the system. The white paper I'm publishing today represents the

:00:26. > :00:29.greatest transformation of the system since 1948.

:00:29. > :00:33.Former England captain John Terry tells a court he's done nothing

:00:33. > :00:36.wrong, as he continues his defence against allegations of racist abuse.

:00:38. > :00:43.hundreds of miles to Madrid to protest about swingeing austerity

:00:43. > :00:47.cuts. The death of Shafilea Ahmed - her

:01:26. > :01:29.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:01:29. > :01:32.The future of social care in England is being set out by the

:01:32. > :01:34.Health Secretary this lunchtime. The Government's plans include

:01:34. > :01:38.offering elderly people Government- backed loans, so that the sale of

:01:38. > :01:41.their homes can be delayed until after their death. But it's not yet

:01:41. > :01:45.clear how this proposal will be funded or how the social care

:01:45. > :01:55.system as a whole will be paid for in the long term. Here's our social

:01:55. > :01:57.

:01:58. > :02:01.affairs correspondent, Alison Holt. For 61 years Geoffrey and Barbara

:02:01. > :02:06.Bostock have been married, bringing up a family, building a home

:02:06. > :02:11.together. But Alzheimer's has now robbed Barbara of those memories.

:02:11. > :02:17.One of the hardest tasks I have to do is getting her undressed at

:02:17. > :02:23.night and into her nightie and into bed. She sees me as a dirty old man,

:02:23. > :02:27.and not her husband of 61 years. Today's white paper promises to

:02:27. > :02:32.make it easier for people like the Bostocks to get information about

:02:32. > :02:38.what help might be available. As things are, they feel completely

:02:38. > :02:42.let down. They are giving us the absolute minimum. When we die, they

:02:42. > :02:49.are going to take 40% in inheritance tax. It is just not

:02:49. > :02:52.fair. The Social Care Bill includes plans for deferred loans with

:02:52. > :02:57.interest that will allow people to pay care home bills without selling

:02:57. > :03:02.their house until later. It expands an existing scheme. If a person

:03:02. > :03:05.moves areas, their care plan will move with them. And the postcode

:03:05. > :03:09.lottery which means you get different support in different

:03:09. > :03:13.places will be tackled. The white paper I'm publishing today

:03:13. > :03:17.represents the greatest transformation of the system since

:03:17. > :03:21.1948. The practical effect will be to give service users their carers

:03:21. > :03:25.and their families more peace of mind. Services will be organised

:03:25. > :03:31.around each individual's care and support needs, their goals and

:03:31. > :03:36.aspirations. With no answers on the money, this white paper fails the

:03:36. > :03:41.credibility test. It is half a plan. The proposals he has set out today

:03:41. > :03:45.are in danger of appearing meaningless and may in fact raise

:03:45. > :03:51.false hopes amongst older people, their carers and families. Missing

:03:51. > :03:55.from the plans here at the Department of Health is any clear

:03:55. > :03:59.decision on how this under-pressure overstretched system will be funded

:03:59. > :04:03.in future. That's been pushed out until the Treasury sets out the

:04:03. > :04:07.next Comprehensive Spending Review. The Government says it agrees in

:04:07. > :04:11.principle with the cap on how much someone should have to pay for care,

:04:12. > :04:15.but there is dismay among many that the tough decisions on funding

:04:15. > :04:20.haven't been made. We face serious challenges today with local

:04:20. > :04:26.authorities being cash strapped, restricting access to social care.

:04:26. > :04:29.Many older and disabled people are not get the support they need now.

:04:29. > :04:32.The update to the care system in England will be carefully watched

:04:33. > :04:37.elsewhere in the UK, but the pressure to sort out how it is paid

:04:37. > :04:43.for will only increase. With me is Ros Altmann. She's an

:04:43. > :04:45.economist and the director-general of Saga. What difference do you

:04:45. > :04:50.think the plans that have been announced this lunchtime are going

:04:50. > :04:55.to make to pensioners in England? To be honest, there isn't going to

:04:55. > :04:59.be an awful lot of difference at the moment. We've got some plans.

:04:59. > :05:04.We've got some proposals, but we don't actually know how these are

:05:04. > :05:07.going to be implemented, when they are going to be implemented and how

:05:07. > :05:11.they are going to be funded. The Government has also released what

:05:11. > :05:16.it call as progress report on finding the funding for these

:05:16. > :05:19.reforms. It is actually a lack of progress report I'm afraid. We

:05:20. > :05:22.don't still know what's going to happen and how we are going to make

:05:22. > :05:25.people's lives better. You heard the Government's argument, that

:05:25. > :05:29.commitment is there to reform social care, but at the moment they

:05:29. > :05:33.don't know how much money they've got until they see what's happening

:05:33. > :05:38.in other departments. Well, this is one of the big issues here. We have

:05:38. > :05:42.a society where we've got lots more older people who need looking after.

:05:42. > :05:46.Now, it is great news that we've got more older people but we can't

:05:46. > :05:49.as a civilised society say, "I'm sorry, we don't have any money, so

:05:49. > :05:53.we are not going to look after you." The reality is that if we

:05:53. > :05:58.don't spend a little more money on social care now - birden will fall

:05:58. > :06:00.on the NHS. That will fall over. Everybody else will lose, so the

:06:00. > :06:04.Government doesn't have a choice between whether or not to spend

:06:04. > :06:08.more money. It has to spend some more money. It is not like we have

:06:09. > :06:12.no money at all. We can spend money on all sorts of things. This is a

:06:12. > :06:17.question of Government priorities. You are an economist. How would you

:06:17. > :06:21.fund social care? Who should pay for it in the long run? We have to

:06:21. > :06:24.have a fair partnership between the individuals and their families and

:06:24. > :06:29.the state. At the moment, the system means that anybody who has

:06:29. > :06:34.done some saving or who has a little bit of money put aside ends

:06:34. > :06:39.up getting no help at all from the state, unless they qualify for NHS

:06:39. > :06:43.care. Those who did no saving get everything paid. What we need is a

:06:43. > :06:48.system where the individual and their families pay something.

:06:48. > :06:52.Perhaps pay quite a lot towards their care, but up to a maximum.

:06:52. > :06:56.And they are allowed to protect some of their savings. And then the

:06:56. > :06:59.state comes in after that. That would be a fairer system. People

:07:00. > :07:03.could then put some money aside, they could prepare for it. They

:07:03. > :07:08.would know what the limit is of how much they would need to spend, and

:07:08. > :07:12.the family could club together and do that. But we don't have that

:07:12. > :07:17.kind of system at the moment. We just have this stark unfairness

:07:17. > :07:21.where if you have saved you pay everything and lose all your life-

:07:21. > :07:25.savings, and if you haven't saved you get everything picked up. That

:07:25. > :07:29.is not a sustainable way forward with so many older people.

:07:29. > :07:31.Altmann, thank you investment The Liberal Democrats are warning

:07:31. > :07:34.there will be "consequences" if David Cameron can't push through

:07:34. > :07:37.plans to reform the House of Lords. The Prime Minister suffered his

:07:37. > :07:44.biggest Commons rebellion last night, forcing him to abandon a

:07:44. > :07:51.timetable for legislation. The issue was raised at Prime

:07:51. > :07:54.Minister's Questions. Mr Cameron finds himself in an invidious

:07:54. > :07:58.position, caught between his coalition partners and many of his

:07:58. > :08:02.own backbenchers, with Nick Clegg this morning insisting a deal is a

:08:02. > :08:07.deal and he expects Mr Cameron to deliver on reform. And Mr Clegg's

:08:07. > :08:12.deputy, Simon Hughes, warning of consequences if Mr Cameron does not

:08:12. > :08:19.deliver. At the same time Mr Cameron's backbenchers, many of

:08:19. > :08:22.them replain implacably opposed to Are greater than last Clearly

:08:22. > :08:28.passions are running high, with the Prime Minister apparently involved

:08:28. > :08:32.in a spat last night with one of the leading rebels, Jesse Norman,

:08:32. > :08:37.which Downing Street insist it's not involve angry exchanges, but at

:08:37. > :08:41.which witnesses say there was a lot of finger pointing. It was seized

:08:42. > :08:50.on this morning. Last night he lost control of his party and not for

:08:50. > :08:55.the first time he lost his temper as well. Because we understand it

:08:55. > :08:58.was fisticuffs in the lobby with the Member for Hereford and South

:08:58. > :09:04.Hertfordshire. I notice the posh boys have ordered him off the

:09:04. > :09:08.estate today. He doesn't seem to be here. Mr Cameron dismissed the

:09:08. > :09:12.argy-bargy as tittle-tattle and half-baked got ip. Downing Street

:09:12. > :09:18.says it has been blown out of all proportion. The Prime Minister

:09:18. > :09:22.urged Ed Miliband to support reform,. If we want to see House of

:09:22. > :09:26.Lords reform, all of those who support House of Lords reform need

:09:26. > :09:31.to not only vote for House of Lords reform but support the means to

:09:31. > :09:37.bring that reform about. He came to the House of Commons yesterday

:09:37. > :09:40.determined to vote yes and then vote no. How utterly pathetic!

:09:40. > :09:43.What's interesting, and I think what we've gained from that comment

:09:43. > :09:47.by the Prime Minister and what we are hearing from Downing Street is

:09:48. > :09:51.that the focus of Number Ten's efforts seem to be in trying to win

:09:51. > :09:55.over the Labour Party rather than trying to convince the concept ibs

:09:55. > :10:01.in their own party. The trouble is that the moment the Labour Party

:10:01. > :10:06.are notted in mood to play ball. Thank you.

:10:06. > :10:10.So Spain now. Thousands of people have lined the streets to support

:10:10. > :10:15.coal miners who've been marching for three weeks to a mass protest

:10:15. > :10:19.in Madrid about the austerity cuts. The Spanish Government is putting

:10:19. > :10:24.VAT up by 3% to 21%. And there'll be further cuts to public spending

:10:24. > :10:29.too. The miners fear cutting subsidies will cost them their jobs.

:10:29. > :10:32.Let's join our correspondent Tom Burridge.

:10:32. > :10:36.On a day when the Spanish Prime Minister announced yet more cuts to

:10:36. > :10:42.the public sector here in Spain and controversially an increase in the

:10:42. > :10:44.level of VAT paid by everyone, miners turned out in the capital

:10:44. > :10:49.and took over one of the main Avenues to protest against

:10:50. > :10:57.Government cuts. Hundreds of miners with thousands

:10:57. > :11:01.capital. They are angry about to Spain's mining sector. This is a

:11:01. > :11:04.reaction to Government cuts not only in the mining sector, as the

:11:04. > :11:08.Government here taxes more and spends less to try and bring this

:11:08. > :11:12.country out of its crisis. These people believe that's not the

:11:12. > :11:17.answer to Spain's problems., and some of the miners have travelled a

:11:17. > :11:21.long way to bring their message to the capital. Many of them walked

:11:21. > :11:27.along Spain's motorways. It was a three-week journey from their

:11:27. > :11:31.mining towns in the far north of Spain. In those towns in recent

:11:31. > :11:36.weeks, mine verse fought running battles with the police. The

:11:36. > :11:39.miners' weapons are fire crackers. At times they have resembled a

:11:39. > :11:43.rebel Army in a war in which neither the miners nor the

:11:43. > :11:48.Government looks like stepping down. The head of Spain's Government

:11:48. > :11:54.today was announcing yet more cuts to public spending, as well as a

:11:54. > :11:58.rise in Spain's rate of VAT. TRANSLATION: One has to be

:11:58. > :12:02.realistic. The way to build Europe has never been easy. We have agreed

:12:02. > :12:07.on a strategy. We have agreed that it is the time. But we are seeing

:12:07. > :12:10.and we will see in the future tensions, difficult unanimous votes,

:12:10. > :12:14.declaration which is are out of place, and many troubles. But at

:12:14. > :12:21.least we have already decided where we want to go, and that we want to

:12:21. > :12:27.do it as soon as possible. As the Government reduces its

:12:27. > :12:31.spending, the discontent here rises, but Spain will soon receive

:12:31. > :12:38.billions of eurozone money for its troubled banks. Madrid is also

:12:38. > :12:42.under pressure from abroad. Spain's banks will receive about 30 billion

:12:42. > :12:47.euros worth of eurozone money by the end of this month, Sian. That's

:12:47. > :12:51.why Madrid is under so much pressure to rein in its spending

:12:51. > :12:55.and gets its budget deficit in order. We've had reports of clashes

:12:55. > :12:59.between the police and demonstrators at that demonstration.

:12:59. > :13:03.It seems the situation there is escalating. Tom, thank you.

:13:03. > :13:06.At least 20 people are reported to have been killed in a suicide

:13:06. > :13:11.bombing in Yemen. Dozens more are said to have been wounded in the

:13:11. > :13:16.attack. It happened on a police academy in the capital, Sana'a.

:13:16. > :13:19.Police there say it bore all the hallmarks of an Al-Qaeda attack.

:13:19. > :13:23.A father accused of killing his 17- year-old daughter because he

:13:23. > :13:27.believed she had brought shame on his family cryed in court today and

:13:27. > :13:32.denied her murder. Iftikhar Ahmed sobbed in the witness box as he

:13:32. > :13:38.gave evidence. He said he would never hurt his daughter Shafilea

:13:38. > :13:40.and described her as very talented, bubbly and talkative.

:13:40. > :13:44.Judith more sits at Chester Crown Court.

:13:44. > :13:49.Shangs you will remember that's the prosecution's case here that

:13:49. > :13:54.Iftikhar and Farzana Ahmed suffocated their daughter, Shafilea,

:13:54. > :13:59.with their bear hands with a plastic bag in 2003 while their

:13:59. > :14:04.other children watched. Both parents denied murder and this

:14:05. > :14:07.morning Iftikhar gave his account of events. He began to cry as he

:14:07. > :14:12.was asked whether he had been responsible for the death of his

:14:12. > :14:17.daughter, Shafilea. No, he said. And he was asked, do you know who

:14:17. > :14:22.was responsible for Shafilea's death? No, he said again. And then

:14:22. > :14:28.they talked that he and his defence barrister Tom Bayliss QC about the

:14:28. > :14:33.effect the allegations had had on the family, that was Shafilea's

:14:33. > :14:38.parents, Iftikhar and Farzana Ahmed had been responsible for murder. He

:14:38. > :14:41.said there had been constant finger pointing and it had been difficult

:14:41. > :14:46.for the family. Then he talked about the trial itself. He was

:14:46. > :14:49.asked how have things been for you. He said, it has made us come closer

:14:49. > :14:52.together, because we've been fighting together as a family.

:14:52. > :14:57.Because we've been fighting to achieve justice for Shafilea, he

:14:57. > :15:04.said, we want to know what happened to her. That has always been the

:15:04. > :15:11.case from day one. The QC asked: Do you think you will ever find out

:15:11. > :15:14.what happened to Shafilea? Iftikhar paused and said, we were hoping to

:15:14. > :15:17.but I don't think we ever will. We are expecting Iftikhar this

:15:17. > :15:22.afternoon to continue giving evidence here at Chester Crown

:15:22. > :15:32.Court. Both he and his wife Farzana Ahmed deny murdering Shafilea in

:15:32. > :15:34.

:15:34. > :15:38.The England footballer, John Terry is continuing his evidence against

:15:38. > :15:43.the accusation he racially abused another player, Anton Ferdinand

:15:43. > :15:47.during a match last year. John Terry said he was keen to speak to

:15:48. > :15:52.police about the alleged abuse because he said there was nothing

:15:52. > :15:57.out there that would prove he did anything wrong. Our sports

:15:57. > :16:01.Correspondent joins us from Westminster magistrates court.

:16:01. > :16:09.have heard John Terry admits he did use the word black, along with

:16:09. > :16:15.other expletives to Anton Ferdinand. But he argues he was repeating what

:16:15. > :16:18.Ferdinand accused him of saying. The prosecution maintains John

:16:18. > :16:26.Terry would have reacted very differently the way he did if that

:16:26. > :16:30.was the case. We have also heard from Ashley Cole. A man used to

:16:30. > :16:34.dealing with crosses, but now facing cross-examination, John

:16:34. > :16:40.Terry arrived for a second day of questioning about whether he had

:16:40. > :16:45.racially abused an opponent. It was during this match at Loftus Road in

:16:45. > :16:48.October, the Chelsea captain the admitted using the word, a black

:16:48. > :16:55.together with obscenities in a heated exchange with Anton

:16:55. > :16:57.Ferdinand. John Terry believes he had been accused of racist abuse by

:16:57. > :17:02.Ferdinand and responded by sarcastically repeating the words.

:17:02. > :17:06.It was argued John Terry was reacting angrily to taunts about an

:17:06. > :17:16.alleged affair with the palm of former team-mate -- team-mate,

:17:16. > :17:17.

:17:17. > :17:24.Wayne Bridge. For the prosecution, John Terry, remaining calm denied

:17:24. > :17:30.it was the case, saying: Why would this incident tip me over the edge

:17:30. > :17:35.when I have had it a million times before. He was accused of elaborate

:17:35. > :17:40.flannel to cover up what he had done once he became aware that

:17:40. > :17:43.footage of the alleged incident had been broadcast and dividing --

:17:43. > :17:53.devising a statement he issued denying any wrongdoing following

:17:53. > :17:57.

:17:57. > :18:02.the match. Terry denied that was His Chelsea colleague, Ashley Cole

:18:02. > :18:06.will has been on the pitch that day and close to the incident, was

:18:06. > :18:14.called as a defence witness telling the court he had heard Ferdinand

:18:14. > :18:17.using the word black. I can tell you, Ashley Cole also

:18:17. > :18:23.said while giving evidence, he believe this trial shouldn't have

:18:23. > :18:26.been brought to court. He said "I think we shouldn't be sitting here.

:18:26. > :18:33.If I repeated something I thought you said it would be different than

:18:33. > :18:40.if someone had just said something". He was backing John Perry -- John

:18:40. > :18:46.Terry's version of events. John Terry denies the charge and the

:18:46. > :18:50.case continues at 2pm. Our top story this lunchtime:

:19:40. > :19:43.Three of the UK's biggest processing companies are cutting

:19:43. > :19:46.the price they pay to farmers by up to two pence a litre. Today

:19:46. > :19:49.thousands of milk producers are protesting in London calling for

:19:49. > :19:59.the cuts to be reversed. Our Correspondent Ed Thomas is at a

:19:59. > :20:00.

:20:00. > :20:05.farm in Congleton in Cheshire. We have around 180 cows here who

:20:05. > :20:11.produce around 4,000 litres of milk every day. The milk produced here

:20:11. > :20:14.it is sent to milk processors who sell it on to the supermarkets. But

:20:14. > :20:18.speak to the farmers here and elsewhere and they will tell you it

:20:18. > :20:24.is them being squeezed and it is a squeeze that is putting the

:20:44. > :20:50.end to his business. We have had to soak them up for too long and it

:20:50. > :20:54.cannot continue. Farmers are frustrated and angry. Farmers are

:20:54. > :21:00.heartbroken. Absolutely heartbroken and they don't know where to turn.

:21:00. > :21:05.The problem is the price of milk along the supply chain. We pay

:21:05. > :21:10.around 52p for a litre of milk at the supermarket. It cost farmers

:21:10. > :21:16.around 30p to produce it. But some dairies will soon only pay those

:21:16. > :21:20.farmers around 25p a litre. Today, farmers will protest outside

:21:20. > :21:25.Westminster. They want the Government to end the stand-off

:21:25. > :21:29.over prices between the farmers and the dairies. I have been pressing

:21:29. > :21:33.both sides of the industry very hard to develop a voluntary code of

:21:33. > :21:37.practice about what should be in the contract between the milk

:21:37. > :21:42.producer and a process that. They have not got to that stage and I am

:21:42. > :21:47.disappointed. But I am pushing both sides hard. There is also the

:21:47. > :21:52.question of the big supermarkets. A price cut on the shells means price

:21:52. > :21:57.cuts for the dairy processors, the people who pay the farmers. But one

:21:57. > :22:01.of the big chains, Morrison's today said it is ready to talk. We are

:22:01. > :22:07.talking to farmers and processors to come up with long-term solutions,

:22:07. > :22:11.to help even out the volatility in the price of milk. That is the way

:22:11. > :22:15.forward for the long-term viable dairy industry in Britain. Farmers

:22:15. > :22:21.want to talk and quickly, because many say they have reached crisis

:22:21. > :22:25.point. The big worry here and elsewhere is

:22:25. > :22:30.this two pence per litre Court, which is being planned for August.

:22:30. > :22:35.Farmers are in Westminster to say they want it to be stopped. And

:22:35. > :22:45.then they want to talk about some sort of stabilisation of prices to

:22:45. > :22:47.

:22:47. > :22:50.protect their industry. A jury has convicted a 26-year-old

:22:50. > :22:52.woman of murdering a teenage girl. Hannah Bonser stabbed to death 13-

:22:52. > :22:55.year-old, Casey Kearney in a Doncaster park, allegedly to get

:22:55. > :22:58.admitted to hospital. Let's speak to our correspondent Danny Savage

:22:58. > :23:04.who's at Sheffield Crown Court. What happened in court?

:23:04. > :23:09.The jury took just over two hours to convict hammer on such of murder.

:23:09. > :23:14.It was a shocking crime. It happened in February half-term when

:23:14. > :23:19.Casey Kearney, a 13-year-old from Doncaster was walking through a

:23:19. > :23:24.park at Doncaster town centre on Valentine's Day on her way to a

:23:24. > :23:29.friends for a sleep over. Walking in the opposite direction was 26-

:23:29. > :23:34.year-old Hannah. They were strangers and had never met. And

:23:34. > :23:41.without any exchange of wire -- words, Anna turned round and stab

:23:41. > :23:47.Casey in the abdomen. She collapsed immediately, managed to dial 999

:23:47. > :23:50.but died later that day. Throughout this trial, much was made of her

:23:50. > :23:56.mental health states. She has a long history of being treated for

:23:56. > :24:00.mental health problems. She has had a period in a psychiatric hospital.

:24:00. > :24:03.She described herself in the weeks before as a psychopath. But the

:24:03. > :24:08.jury decided she could not hide behind those mental health problems

:24:08. > :24:14.and convicted her of murder at Sheffield Crown Court today. We are

:24:14. > :24:20.expecting to hear from Casey's family, and had no answer will be

:24:20. > :24:23.sentenced at 2pm this afternoon. The UK is to double the amount of

:24:23. > :24:27.money it gives to fund family planning services in the developing

:24:27. > :24:35.world. Aid will go up from �90 to �180 million over the next eight

:24:35. > :24:40.years. Let's speak to our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh. How big

:24:40. > :24:45.is the problem at the moment? is a huge issue for women and

:24:45. > :24:51.adolescent girls in developing countries. One in 10 adolescent

:24:51. > :24:57.girls is married by the age of 15. Figures are startling. 220 million

:24:57. > :25:03.or William girls without access to contraception and there is a summit

:25:03. > :25:07.in London which is trying to raise awareness and raise this issue. The

:25:07. > :25:12.UK is taking the lead on this and is doubling the amount it spends.

:25:12. > :25:19.It reckons it will provide another 24 million William -- women with

:25:19. > :25:24.contraception access by 2020 and prevent 40,000 or more deaths from

:25:24. > :25:27.botched abortions and Medical complications and prevent 20

:25:27. > :25:34.million unintended pregnancies in the next eight years. Be it is not

:25:34. > :25:39.just about money is it, it is about education? Absolutely. It is

:25:39. > :25:43.education. The longer women spend in school, the later they are

:25:43. > :25:48.likely to have children and get married and have children's. And

:25:48. > :25:54.the more likely they will be lifted out of poverty. It is about women's

:25:54. > :25:58.empowerment. We have a global population above 7 billion. It is

:25:58. > :26:01.about enabling women and families to have the children they want

:26:01. > :26:11.rather than a succession of unplanned and unintended

:26:11. > :26:14.

:26:14. > :26:17.pregnancies. Chris Moyles is to leave the Radio

:26:17. > :26:20.1 breakfast show at the end of September. He's been presenting the

:26:20. > :26:23.show since 2004 and is the longest- serving breakfast presenter in the

:26:23. > :26:25.station's history. He's being replaced by Nick Grimshaw, who

:26:25. > :26:28.currently hosts the weekday show from ten until midnight.

:26:28. > :26:31.Work begins today on a new visitor centre at Stonehenge - one of the

:26:31. > :26:34.UK's most popular tourist attractions. At the moment visitors

:26:34. > :26:38.can park nearby and walk to the site. But the new plan would see a

:26:38. > :26:42.nearby road closed completely and a new centre built a mile and a half

:26:42. > :26:52.away, which will tell the story of the stone circle. Louise Hubball is

:26:52. > :26:52.

:26:52. > :26:56.there. More than a million visitors come here every year. It is a World

:26:56. > :27:00.Heritage Site. But the criticism is, the facilities are far from world

:27:00. > :27:06.class. It is one of the world's most

:27:06. > :27:14.instantly recognisable landmarks. For over 5,000 years, the mystery

:27:14. > :27:18.of this circle has drawn visitors in. But for tourists today, their

:27:18. > :27:28.experience begins here. Straight off a busy road and into basic

:27:28. > :27:29.

:27:29. > :27:33.facilities. And once you are at the site... The busy road slices

:27:33. > :27:40.straight through what was the ancient ceremonial route up to the

:27:40. > :27:46.stones. I was very surprised to cross the road. People do need

:27:46. > :27:51.access to the site. But I think the road noise is detrimental to the

:27:51. > :27:57.experience of it. It has been here for a long time. Why does it take

:27:57. > :28:03.as long as 30 or 40 years to do something about it? English

:28:03. > :28:09.Heritage is unveiling plans to turn back time. To close the road to

:28:09. > :28:15.traffic and returned the monument to a more serene landscape. But the

:28:15. > :28:19.question is, why has it taken so long? Change was promised in the 19

:28:19. > :28:26.80s when Stonehenge became a World Heritage site. The commitment was

:28:26. > :28:31.made by the Government's to improve the presentation and the setting of

:28:31. > :28:37.Stonehenge. Yes, it has taken a long time, but we have finally got

:28:37. > :28:43.there. With these fans -- plans, visitors for generations to come

:28:43. > :28:48.can enjoy a mystical atmosphere without so many passing cars.

:28:48. > :28:52.Work will begin here shortly and it is expected to be completed by the

:28:52. > :29:02.summer of 2014. English Heritage are hoping any disruption will be

:29:02. > :29:08.

:29:08. > :29:14.outweighed by the future benefits. Showers are not too far away. This

:29:14. > :29:18.picture was taken on the Isle of Wight. There is a shower in the

:29:18. > :29:21.distance looking back towards Portsmouth. The Met Office had just

:29:21. > :29:25.issued an Amber warning with torrential downpours along the

:29:25. > :29:29.south coast in the next couple of hours. There is the risk of

:29:29. > :29:32.localised flooding. On the radar picture, the cluster of

:29:32. > :29:39.thunderstorms developing and it will be with us for the next few

:29:39. > :29:44.hours. We have a thicker cloud and rain across north-east England. In

:29:44. > :29:50.between the showers this afternoon or with a bit of brightness we can

:29:50. > :29:53.manage 17, 18. Showers to come across parts of the Midlands and

:29:53. > :29:57.south-east England but it is turning drier through the night.

:29:57. > :30:02.Cloud to the north-east of Scotland but first thing tomorrow morning, a

:30:02. > :30:05.window of dry weather for many parts of the country. At 8:00am

:30:06. > :30:11.tomorrow, Sunshine across parts of the south-east corner. Although it

:30:11. > :30:16.will be on the chilly side. Well broken cloud across parts of the

:30:16. > :30:20.Midlands and northern England. But as we move to the north-east coast

:30:20. > :30:26.it is looking more Ngorongoro Crater with patchy and light rain.

:30:26. > :30:29.In Scotland, better chance of seeing breaks in the cloud and

:30:30. > :30:36.giving dryness in the morning. A cloudy start across Northern

:30:36. > :30:39.Ireland. In Wales we have the Sunshine at 8 am, but it is a

:30:39. > :30:44.cloudy start across Devon and rain for Cornwall. This band of rain

:30:44. > :30:48.will push north and east as we go through the day arriving across

:30:48. > :30:54.parts of South Wales and Trust -- stretching through the south coast

:30:54. > :30:58.in the afternoons. Thicker cloud to the north-east of Scotland. But in

:30:58. > :31:03.between these two areas, it should be dry with Sunshine. By the time

:31:03. > :31:08.we get to Friday, the weather system pushing north and with the

:31:08. > :31:12.ground saturated, we are keeping an eye on this because there is

:31:12. > :31:17.potential for localised flooding. To the north it is looking dry and

:31:18. > :31:21.bright in Scotland. It stays on the cool side for the weekend.

:31:21. > :31:26.Widespread showers across England and Wales which could be heavy on
