:05:09. > :05:14.people facing higher rail fares. If you look at what is driving this
:05:14. > :05:18.rise, which mostly people were not expecting, it looks like short-term
:05:18. > :05:22.factors. Last month inflation fell more quickly than people expected
:05:22. > :05:26.partly because clothing shops have had to cut prices earlier in the
:05:26. > :05:31.summer than usual. If they cut them in June, they can't cut them again
:05:31. > :05:36.in July. We have had less of that effect in these figures. Also a
:05:36. > :05:40.sharp rise in air fares, which looks more like a one-off. People

:05:48. > :05:53.to have driven these figures. Looking ahead, most people are
:05:53. > :05:58.expecting inflation to come down sharply in the next few months. We
:05:58. > :06:03.will be back towards 2%. That will help people in terms of their

:20:31. > :20:38.islands, there have been fires too, on the Spanish mainland.
:20:38. > :20:44.Bright flames lighting up the hills around Alicante. The driest winter
:20:44. > :20:49.in 20 years here in Spain has left the landscape BRITle as tinder,
:20:49. > :20:54.ready to ignite and carry the fires far on hot winds from the Sahara.

:21:04. > :21:07.already ravaged 1,500 acres here, left two firemen dead and one
:21:07. > :21:14.seriously injured. In the Canary Islands, the authorities believe a
:21:14. > :21:20.blaze which has ravaged the island of La Gomera, was started on
:21:20. > :21:24.purpose. But locals criticised the government for being slow to send
:21:24. > :21:27.planes and helicopters I have worked my whole life. Now the fire
:21:27. > :21:31.has destroyed everything. It was really bad. I had to climb through
:21:31. > :21:38.a net to escape because I couldn't go back to the roads and if I had
:21:38. > :21:42.fallen, I would have been burned. Wrun-fifth of the population were
:21:42. > :21:46.forced to abandon their homes. -- one-fifth. Although most have been
:21:47. > :21:51.told they can return. People here fear that what attracts tourists to
:21:51. > :21:56.their island has been ruined. The fire has already destroyed nearly
:21:56. > :22:01.2,000 acres of this World Heritage Site. For the moment, Spain's fires
:22:01. > :22:07.are under control but they are not out. After the driest winter in

:22:14. > :22:19.takes for the flames to flare up again is heat and wind.
:22:19. > :22:29.Tributes have been paid to the long-time editor of Cosmopolitan
:22:29. > :22:32.
:22:32. > :22:38.magazine, Helen Gurly Brown who died yesterday, aged 90.
:22:38. > :22:43.Good girls go to heaven, bad girls so everywhere. Celebrated writer
:22:44. > :22:48.and magazine writer Helen Gurley Brown's enduring motto for wi. Free
:22:48. > :22:51.from convention, she said women could have it all. In 1962, her
:22:51. > :22:55.book on the subject, Sex and the Single Girl, became a best-seller
:22:55. > :23:01.and within three years, the magazine cost mow toll tan had
:23:02. > :23:06.hired her to spread her message further. -- Cosmopolitan. We are
:23:06. > :23:09.always telling Cosmo woman, go for it, get your foot in the door. It
:23:09. > :23:12.doesn't have to be the best job in the world because you have a long
:23:13. > :23:17.way to go. It was, she said, about getting everything you wanted out
:23:17. > :23:21.of life. Why shouldn't women have fun, too? She became a success
:23:21. > :23:24.totally against the odds. She was the first really loud and proud
:23:24. > :23:29.pioneer of wanting women to have it all. You can have the career, you
:23:29. > :23:35.can earn the money, you can have the man and have great sex.
:23:35. > :23:39.And under her editorship, which lasted 32 years, the magazine
:23:39. > :23:48.featured relationships, money and cosmetic surgery. Covers read "Sex,
:23:48. > :23:54.power, if you've got it, plaupbt it" and, "Meet the marriage
:23:54. > :23:59.busters." -- flaunt it. She was an early take
:23:59. > :24:04.women and sex, which was astonishing and fascinating but
:24:04. > :24:08.women had to be but thefully dressed and incredibly sexy for men.
:24:08. > :24:13.But where there was criticism she shrugged it off I have been
:24:14. > :24:17.controversial ever since I wrote books in the first place and I have
:24:18. > :24:22.hit frequently, nobody likes to be hit, but I have learned to deal
:24:22. > :24:28.with that. For Helen Gurley Brown, glamour and success went hand-in-
:24:28. > :24:32.hand. Today New York's mayor said she was a role model for the
:24:32. > :24:35.millions of women's who's private thoughts, wonders and dreams she
:24:35. > :24:40.had Amor dressed so brilliantly in print.
:24:40. > :24:44.-- she'd addressed. Now, the Olympic Games may have
:24:44. > :24:47.lifted the nation's spirits but the buzz won't last, according to a BBC
:24:47. > :24:52.survey. Most of those polled said that the Olympics had made them
:24:52. > :24:58.proud to be British and that the Games had had a positive effect on
:24:58. > :25:00.the country, but as James Pearce reports. The feel-good factor may
:25:00. > :25:07.be short-lived. Lord Coe said before the Games he wanted a new
:25:07. > :25:15.generation of British sporting heroes, he wasn't disappointed.
:25:15. > :25:21.Schools around the UK will be able to take their pick and they will
:25:21. > :25:26.inspire youngsters. What does the British public think
:25:26. > :25:31.about these Games? In a BBC survey, 83% said they thought the Olympics
:25:31. > :25:35.had had a positive effect on the UK. 80% thought the event had made
:25:35. > :25:39.people more proud to be British. However, 54% believe the effect
:25:39. > :25:43.will be short-lived. I have met a lot of people who don't have
:25:44. > :25:48.anything to do with sport, who have never been interested in sport, who
:25:48. > :25:50.will maybe not necessarily get hooked in doing sport but who in
:25:50. > :25:54.different areas have found inspiration from athletes.
:25:54. > :25:57.Spectators were some of the stars of the Games. They loved their
:25:57. > :26:02.Olympic experience. Millions will miss the carnival atmosphere that
:26:02. > :26:07.embraced London. Putting on a 17- day spectacle which everybody
:26:07. > :26:10.enjoys is one thing, making sure it leaves a last impact is quite
:26:10. > :26:13.another. The concerns raised in this poll, show that the British
:26:13. > :26:21.public is still to be convinced that enough's being done to give
:26:21. > :26:26.these Games a proper legacy. One couple not worried about the
:26:26. > :26:30.feel-God factor, those from Suffolk who have won a staggering �148
:26:30. > :26:36.million. She say new cars will be near the top of their shopping list.
:26:36. > :26:39.Adrian and Gillian bay Ford, in their early 40s, scooped the
:26:39. > :26:43.second-biggest backnot Lottery history. The couple, who have a
:26:43. > :26:47.six-year-old daughter and four- year-old son say they worked
:26:47. > :26:51.opposite day and night shifts to make ends meet this. Report
:26:51. > :26:58.contains flash photography. It is a phenomenal amount of money. Life
:26:58. > :27:02.will never be the same again. Gillian and Adrian bay Ford have
:27:02. > :27:05.won a Euro Millions jackpot that rolled over 14 times. It was late
:27:05. > :27:09.on Friday night they realised their numbers had come up. Although
:27:09. > :27:13.Gillian doubted her husband at first. I thought - maybe he is
:27:13. > :27:18.telling the truth, we'll double check it. I checked it on my
:27:18. > :27:22.fornings the TV and the internet and I then I thought, "You could be
:27:22. > :27:29.right here." -- I checked it on my phone. We looked at each other and
:27:29. > :27:34.giggled. It was a big beam. A smile came off. It was a nice feeling.
:27:34. > :27:39.very nice feeling. The couple have talked about buying a new car a new
:27:39. > :27:44.house but nothing too extrafgpbt just yet. They insist this is a win
:27:44. > :27:50.to be -- extravagant just yet. They insist this is a win to be shared
:27:50. > :27:56.amongst friends and family and have no worries about the publicity.
:27:56. > :27:59.we want to give it to money, and it is not fair to ask them to hide it.
:27:59. > :28:02.It isn't fair on our children, we want them to have a normal
:28:02. > :28:07.childhood and be brought up. Just because we have some money now,
:28:07. > :28:11.it'll give them a naiser life but they're still too children who
:28:11. > :28:16.should be entitled to a normal childhood. Adrian and Gillian say
:28:16. > :28:19.they want their life to return to normal to spend time with their two
:28:19. > :28:26.young children but with �148 million in the bank, that may be
:28:26. > :28:28.easier said than done. One thing all the money in the
:28:28. > :28:30.world can't change, is the weather. world can't change, is the weather.
:28:30. > :28:35.Laura? It is a different week. Last week,
:28:35. > :28:38.dry, hot, sunny, this week, wind, rain, the works. It all changes
:28:38. > :28:43.through the next fewdys. Yesterday we had rain it, wasn't that heavy.
:28:43. > :28:46.Today we have showers and they will be heavy. Already rumbles of
:28:46. > :28:50.thunder through Scotland and Northern Ireland, but equally in
:28:50. > :28:53.the sunshine today feeling pleasantly warm. The sat light
:28:53. > :28:56.shows lengthy spells of sunshine through England and Wales but big
:28:56. > :28:59.clouds, shower clouds gathering into Scotland and Northern Ireland
:28:59. > :29:02.and this is where the heaviest downpours are set to be. Through
:29:02. > :29:05.the rest of the day, the wind is southerly, so the showers will
:29:05. > :29:09.track their way northwards, edging their way through Northern Ireland.
:29:09. > :29:13.In the sunshine, highs of 19 in Belfast, where the showers move
:29:13. > :29:17.through, some gusty winds developing. The far north-east of
:29:17. > :29:23.Scotland, still fairly cloudy with outbrex of rain and drizzle. Misty
:29:23. > :29:30.and murky along the Aberdeen coast. -- with outbreaks of rain.
:29:30. > :29:33.Elsewhere, fairly hit and miss. A lot of sunshine around, yes some
:29:33. > :29:38.sunshine to dodge. Few and far between, not that heavy.
:29:38. > :29:41.In the southern counties, with the breeze they should clear northwards.
:29:41. > :29:44.The south-west England, looking towards the channel, you will see
:29:45. > :29:48.showers around and they will edge in towards the evening. Across
:29:48. > :29:51.Wales, a largely fine, dry afternoon, but don't be shocked if
:29:51. > :29:55.you see one or two showers, there are some around. Through the
:29:55. > :29:58.evening and evernight showers into the south-west but for many it
:29:58. > :30:05.turns clear with dry and light winds, it'll be misty and murky
:30:05. > :30:09.particularly in the north. A mild night. Temperatures 14 to 19 in
:30:09. > :30:13.London. But tomorrow's weather dominated by a low pressure,
:30:13. > :30:17.sweeping in from the south-west. Gathering warm air from the near
:30:17. > :30:21.continent. Isobars close together, showing -- so we are not just wet
:30:21. > :30:26.through tomorrow, windy as well. Winds pick up first thing across
:30:26. > :30:29.the south-west of England and Wales, touching galeforce and heavy rain
:30:29. > :30:33.will sweep through. Most areas through the day arriving in
:30:33. > :30:38.Scotland most later in the evening. The rain will be heavy, an inch or
:30:38. > :30:41.two will fall in four, five or six hours, which could lead to
:30:41. > :30:43.localised flooding. Tomorrow's rain by Thursday will be across the
:30:44. > :30:48.Northern Isles. Still breezy. By Thursday we are back to sunshine
:30:48. > :30:52.and showers but lurking to the south-west, is our next spell of
:30:52. > :30:56.wet weather. This moves in across the south-west of England, Wales
:30:56. > :31:01.and to Northern Ireland. Thursday night into Friday. So by Friday,
:31:01. > :31:05.again, still looking fairly wet. Mostly across western areas, the
:31:05. > :31:10.south-east should be largely dry. Despite the wind and rain this week,
:31:10. > :31:13.it'll be pretty mild. Thank you very much. A reminder of our top
