:02:44. > :02:51.born 13 February 1979 is sentenced for violation of the penal code
:02:51. > :02:56.section... For a term of 21 years, a minimum period of ten years.
:02:56. > :03:01.Their finding that Breivik was guilty of mass murder and terrorism
:03:01. > :03:07.and that he was sane not insane. The atmosphere in court was hushed.
:03:07. > :03:11.There seemed to be a thin smile on Breivik's face. In the courtroom I
:03:11. > :03:14.was sitting no more than 12 feet from Breivik. He didn't look at all
:03:14. > :03:18.shocked as the verdict against him was given. I think he might have
:03:18. > :03:23.done if he'd been found insane. Instead the judgment that he was
:03:23. > :03:27.sane was the one that he craved and the one most Norwegians wanted. The
:03:27. > :03:31.atmosphere in the courtroom became much more highly charged as we
:03:31. > :03:36.reached the point where the judges were reading individual accounts of
:03:36. > :03:41.each and every murder that he committed that day.
:03:41. > :03:43.Breivik's trail of killing started here in Oslo with a huge bomb
:03:43. > :03:49.explosion outside the Prime Minister's office. Eight people
:03:49. > :03:53.were killed. Much later this picture of Breivik leaving the
:03:53. > :04:01.scene was found on CCTV. As Norway's emergency services raced
:04:01. > :04:09.to defend their capital city, he was saiding for Utoeya.
:04:09. > :04:13.The sound is haunting GUNSHOTS Sound of Breivik, colding, calmly
:04:13. > :04:17.killing young people at their annual camp organised by the
:04:17. > :04:21.governing Labour Party. The legitimate targets, he called them,
:04:21. > :04:25.being trained as Marxists to promote a multicultural Europe. He
:04:26. > :04:31.had more than an hour before the police arrived. In all, Breivik
:04:31. > :04:36.killed 69 people here. He shot all my friends when they were trying to
:04:36. > :04:41.swim away from him and he shot my friends when they were hiding in
:04:41. > :04:46.the tents. They shot my friends when they were run ago way in fear.
:04:46. > :04:50.It was horrible. When armed police finally arrived, Breivik
:04:50. > :04:54.surrendered without a fight. A few weeks later he was taken back to
:04:54. > :04:59.the island to talk through his actions. You can just see the
:04:59. > :05:05.tether the police used to ensure he didn't escape. Anders Breivik will
:05:05. > :05:08.now begin his 21 years preventive detention at a prison on the
:05:09. > :05:13.outskirts of Oslo. Most Norwegians believe conditions will never be
:05:13. > :05:19.right for him to be released. He will be in solitary confinement in
:05:20. > :05:23.cells specially for him, to protect other prisoners and to protect
:05:23. > :05:27.Norway's most nor torious criminal from them. I spoke to one or two of
:05:27. > :05:31.the bereaved families and one of the survivors, after the verdict
:05:32. > :05:35.and sentencing was given. I think from talking to them there was an
:05:35. > :05:40.overwhelming sense of relief on two grounds really, a sense of relief
:05:40. > :05:44.that they'd witnessed Norway's values and in their view, Norway's
:05:44. > :05:50.justice being upheld in the face of Breivik's murderous activities.
:05:50. > :05:54.Also, a sense of relief because at least for some of them, they felt a
:05:54. > :06:01.chapter of the grieving process had been closed. Will Norwegians get
:06:01. > :06:04.the chance to hear from Breivik himself? They may do, Simon. We're
:06:04. > :06:09.not certain, but it's possible that he will be given an opportunity to
:06:09. > :06:13.speak in court at the end of today's proceedings, that's after
:06:13. > :06:18.this very lengthy judgment has finally been delivered some time
:06:18. > :06:22.late this afternoon. Now, I think if Anders Breivik tries to use that
:06:22. > :06:26.as a platform to advance his fanatical views, if he tries a die
:06:26. > :06:30.tribe, which could amount to incitement to racial or religious
:06:30. > :06:34.hatred, it's highly likely that the court will attempt to silence him.
:06:34. > :06:38.It's highly unlikely that portion of today's session will be
:06:38. > :06:42.broadcast. It simply won't be relayed from the courtroom bit
:06:42. > :06:46.television cameras inside. I think most Norwegians are frankly,
:06:46. > :06:49.heartily sick of having to listen to him. I've heard many tell me
:06:49. > :06:53.they simply want him to go to prison now for a very, very long
:06:53. > :06:58.time. They don't want to see him, hear from him, they don't even want
:06:58. > :07:02.to see pictures of him any more. Thank you.
:07:02. > :07:06.Here, the UK economy shrank by less than originally thought in the
:07:06. > :07:11.second quarter of this year, according to revised figures from
:07:11. > :07:13.the Office for National Statistics, which says it contracted by 0.5%.
:07:13. > :07:20.The original estimate was 0.7%. Our Chief Economics Correspondent Hugh
:07:21. > :07:24.Pym has more. The economic landscape is hard to read and
:07:24. > :07:26.here's one reason why - things aren't looking as bad as experts
:07:27. > :07:30.thought in industries like this. The company makes and sells
:07:30. > :07:33.building materials in the north of England and southern Scotland.
:07:33. > :07:38.Business has been tough, but there are a few signs that trading is
:07:38. > :07:44.getting a bit easier. I've managed to keep going. But we haven't made
:07:44. > :07:48.any money for four years. We do see very early signs of change. To be
:07:48. > :07:52.honest, this summer, we've seen something in the industrial sector
:07:52. > :07:55.particularly, that's manufacturers mainly, they're starting to build
:07:55. > :08:00.factories and new facilities. We're getting inquiries for next year.
:08:00. > :08:03.Here are the key reasons why the figures don't look as bad.. It was
:08:03. > :08:09.estimated that industrial production, including car rig, had
:08:09. > :08:16.fallen 1.3% between April and June. Now the drop is put at 0.9. For
:08:16. > :08:19.construction, a fall of 5.2% has been revised to 3.9%. The result of
:08:19. > :08:25.that, the economy shrank by less than first thought, 0.5% in the
:08:25. > :08:29.second quarter of this year. What about consumers? The latest figures
:08:29. > :08:33.show that household spending fell again, with budgets squeezed
:08:33. > :08:36.because cost of living increases were outstripping average pay rises.
:08:36. > :08:40.With inflation heading in a downwards direction, that pressure
:08:40. > :08:44.is beginning to ease. The latest retail sales figures were stronger
:08:44. > :08:48.than expected and it's possible that if inflation falls further,
:08:48. > :08:52.shoppers will provide a new boost to the economy. Where else might
:08:52. > :08:56.growth come from? Big business and finance could be poised to chip in.
:08:56. > :08:59.They're pretty profitible. They've had year after year of reasonably
:08:59. > :09:04.strong growth. It's just a question of when they have the confidence to
:09:04. > :09:07.start spending some of that money and hopefully, investing it in the
:09:07. > :09:12.UK. That might kickstart some growth and then further employment
:09:12. > :09:15.and you start to get that virtuous circle. That still looks to be some
:09:15. > :09:19.way off. The Olympics may have given a kick to the economy in the
:09:19. > :09:22.current third quarter and there may be a bit of a bounce back, but
:09:22. > :09:28.that's a temporary factor. The underlying reality is a stagnant
:09:28. > :09:32.economy. Hugh joins me now. These revised
:09:32. > :09:39.pictures are not good. We're still in recession, but not as bad as
:09:39. > :09:44.first thought.. That's right. A fall of minus 0.5 instead of 0.7 is
:09:44. > :09:52.not a huge different to most people. We are still in recession, the
:09:52. > :09:56.economy is still falling according to these figures. But it's not as
:09:56. > :10:00.bad, and the Bank of England estimated that the extra bank
:10:00. > :10:05.holiday probably contributed to 0.5 being knocked off growth. If you
:10:05. > :10:10.take that out you have zero, a flat economy. Still not great, still
:10:10. > :10:15.stagnant. But not lurching downwards as some of the headlines
:10:15. > :10:19.tugted -- suggested. When the first estimates came out it looks as if
:10:19. > :10:22.the economy had been shrinking since the coalition took office in
:10:22. > :10:26.2010. These figures suggest that wasn't happening. The economy has
:10:26. > :10:29.been stagnant since then, slightly boater news for the Chancellor. But
:10:29. > :10:32.huge uncertainty about where the economy goes from here, what the
:10:32. > :10:35.eurozone will mean for the future of UK growth. It's going to be
:10:35. > :10:39.difficult to call for the months ahead, certainly for the Chancellor
:10:39. > :10:42.as he starts planning his next set of public finances. Thank you very
:10:42. > :10:46.much. The Greek Prime Minister, Antonis
:10:46. > :10:51.Samaras, has been holding talks in Berlin with the German Chancellor,
:10:51. > :10:58.Angela Merkel. He's hoping to be given more time to to implement the
:10:58. > :11:02.cuts demanded by the EU. From Berlin, Stephen Evans reports. Mr
:11:02. > :11:06.Samaras began his charm offensive where it matters, in Germany, the
:11:06. > :11:10.source of much of the money bailing out his economy. And the country
:11:10. > :11:18.which could stop the flow of funds. He came with a simple message - we
:11:18. > :11:22.don't want more money, but we do want more time. Chancellor Merkel
:11:22. > :11:28.responded by saying she wanted Greece to remain part of the
:11:28. > :11:32.eurozone. But the euro crisis made people lose trust. Our expectations,
:11:32. > :11:37.she said, is that Greece fulfils the conditions. Then it can expect
:11:37. > :11:41.help and thust, she said, will be restored. The Prime Minister of
:11:41. > :11:47.Greece has come to the offices of the Chancellor of Germany to make a
:11:47. > :11:50.plea, a desperate plea. He is unlikely to get what he wants. The
:11:50. > :11:55.main barrier to concessions to Greece is in the Bundestag, the
:11:55. > :11:59.German Parliament. Even member of Parliament in Chancellor Merkel's
:11:59. > :12:02.government are telling her that Greece needs to prove it's still on
:12:02. > :12:08.track with the privatisations and cuts it promised in return for
:12:08. > :12:15.money. That shouldn't be the problem for us to give a little
:12:15. > :12:20.more time. But for us, it's very important to see what actions they
:12:20. > :12:24.have in the past and only what promises he brings to Berlin.
:12:24. > :12:31.Berlin, the time table is Prime Minister Samaras visits the French
:12:31. > :12:36.President tomorrow. In September, IMF and European Union inspectors
:12:36. > :12:42.assess Greek progress on economic reform. Then early October, finance
:12:42. > :12:46.ministers meet. Prime Minister Samaras wants four years instead of
:12:46. > :12:52.two to transform Greek finances. Will he eventually get a softening
:12:52. > :12:57.of the time limit? No, he will not get two more years, as he has
:12:57. > :13:00.proposed. But maybe something in between. Because I think the
:13:00. > :13:06.interest is Greece should belong to the eurozone. That's the interest
:13:07. > :13:11.of all. The big decision is yet to come. If Greece hasn't fulfilled
:13:11. > :13:16.its obligations, will Chancellor Merkel block the bail out funds and
:13:16. > :13:24.plunge the whole European economy, including Britain, into uncertainty
:13:24. > :13:27.and crisis? Nobody knows. Perhaps not even her.
:13:27. > :13:30.Here, the Press Complaints Commission says it's received 60
:13:30. > :13:33.complaints from the public after the Sun became the first British
:13:33. > :13:38.newspaper to publish pictures of a naked Prince Harry. The photographs
:13:38. > :13:41.were taken in a Las Vegas hotel last Friday. The paper says the
:13:41. > :13:46.issue surrounding publication was freedom of the press not the
:13:46. > :13:50.Prince's privacy. Andy Moore reports. In what it called a
:13:50. > :13:54.souvenir printed edition, the Sun published the picture that no other
:13:54. > :13:58.British paper has decided to use. Inside there were more images. The
:13:58. > :14:02.Sun said Prince Harry was a perfect gent trying to protect the modesty
:14:02. > :14:08.of a naked woman. In a video statement, the Sun justified its
:14:08. > :14:11.decision. For us, this is about the freedom of the press. This is about
:14:11. > :14:16.the ludicrous situation where a picture can be seen by hundreds of
:14:16. > :14:21.millions of people around the world on the internet but can't be seen
:14:21. > :14:26.in the nation's favourite paper, read by eight million emevery day.
:14:26. > :14:29.The Press Complaints Commission had previously sent newspapers guidance
:14:29. > :14:34.from St James's Palace. The publication of the photos might be
:14:34. > :14:37.a breach of Prince Harry's privacy. Now it says it will formally
:14:37. > :14:40.investigate if it gets a complaint for someone speaking from Prince
:14:40. > :14:44.Harry. We have received complaints from the public. We will consider
:14:44. > :14:48.those now. We have to wait and see if we receive a formal complaint by
:14:48. > :14:51.representatives of Prince Harry. If we do, then formal process will be
:14:51. > :14:54.followed, due process will be followed. That formal complaint
:14:54. > :14:58.hasn't come yet in. A statement, a hasn't come yet in. A statement, a
:14:58. > :15:01.spokesman said: "We have made our views on Prince Harry's privacy
:15:01. > :15:05.known. Newspapers regulate themselves so the publication of
:15:05. > :15:07.the photographs is ultimately a the photographs is ultimately a
:15:07. > :15:11.decision for editors to make." John Prescott who gave evidence to
:15:12. > :15:15.the Leveson Inquiry is no friend of the Murdoch empire. He says this is
:15:15. > :15:19.not an issue of press freedom.. This is all about money. Somebody
:15:19. > :15:22.gets a photograph. Somebody makes money and the others get to buy the
:15:22. > :15:26.picture and make money again. It's nothing to do with the public
:15:26. > :15:30.interest or private interest. It's profit, profit, profit.
:15:30. > :15:35.So what did people in Chester think about publication of the photos?
:15:35. > :15:39.Well I think it was a foregone conclusion. I think the other
:15:39. > :15:44.papers will probably publish them as well. He's a young chappie. They
:15:44. > :15:48.do these sorts of things. So, no I don't think it should be published.
:15:48. > :15:53.It's nobody's business. If he's having fun, then he shouldn't be
:15:53. > :15:59.put all over the internet. But that's the way it is. There may be
:15:59. > :16:03.more embarrassing photos to come of Prince Harry's holiday in Las Vegas.
:16:03. > :16:12.The publicist Max Clifford said he was approached by two women who
:16:12. > :16:18.claimed to have more pictures of Around 30,000 Syrians arrived in
:16:18. > :16:24.this week, that's according to the UN refugee agency. It brings the
:16:24. > :16:28.total number of refugees to more than 200,000. Our correspondent is
:16:28. > :16:35.in Beirut. We were expecting Refugees, obviously, but not
:16:35. > :16:38.perhaps in these numbers. No, the UN was expecting to get about
:16:38. > :16:42.185,000 by the end of the year. Now we are only in August and there are
:16:42. > :16:48.more than 200,000. A lot of that has been this month, there's been
:16:48. > :16:55.an increase in people fleeing Syria. This week, overnight, 2200 into
:16:55. > :16:58.Jordan, in 24 hours, 3500 into Turkey. Don't forget that this
:16:58. > :17:02.200,000 are only those who have registered with the UN. There are
:17:02. > :17:05.probably many more who fled the country that haven't registered. It
:17:05. > :17:08.looks as though this number will only get bigger because there's no
:17:08. > :17:14.resolution of the conflict in sight. Of the fighting in Damascus and
:17:14. > :17:18.Aleppo, it will probably get worse. Huge numbers, how will the a
:17:18. > :17:23.Deighton -- aid agencies Cup? are struggling with two different
:17:23. > :17:29.things. You've got the refugees outside Syria, so they are setting
:17:29. > :17:32.up camps, giving them food, blankets and so on. There's an
:17:32. > :17:36.infrastructure to do that. The government side helping, the UN is
:17:36. > :17:41.helping. More difficult is the humanitarian crisis inside the
:17:41. > :17:44.country, although you have to 0.5 million in need of aid. It's very
:17:44. > :17:48.difficult to distribute aid because of the conflict and access issue.
:17:48. > :17:52.The UN has appealed for money to help with that. Going back to the
:17:52. > :17:57.issue of the refugees outside the country, it's becoming quite an
:17:57. > :18:02.urgent political situation. Turkey this week said, we can only deal
:18:02. > :18:05.with 100,000 refugees. Already they have 70,000 refugees. The foreign
:18:05. > :18:11.ministers suggested that they create a safe sun just over the
:18:11. > :18:14.border inside Syria, to absorb any more refugees. It is a prospect
:18:14. > :18:19.fraught with complications. It is something that is going to become
:18:19. > :18:22.more and more a political issue internationally. Next week, the UN
:18:22. > :18:31.is meeting precisely on this point of how to deal with the
:18:31. > :18:34.humanitarian crisis. Our top story - Acourt in no way declares mass-

:19:49. > :19:55.earlier this morning to respond to charges from the US anti-doping
:19:55. > :20:05.agency that he used performance- enhancing drugs. He decided not to
:20:05. > :20:10.
:20:10. > :20:12.contest them, issuing a statement So there will be no public hearing,
:20:12. > :20:17.no chance for Armstrong to refute the allegations that have been made
:20:17. > :20:22.against him. That, in the eyes of the international anti-doping
:20:22. > :20:26.agency, is an admission of guilt. His failure to rebut that serious
:20:26. > :20:32.charges mean that he is effectively acknowledging that they had
:20:32. > :20:36.substance, and that allows under the rules that he always subjected
:20:36. > :20:40.himself to, to impose sanctions which they will do. Those sanctions
:20:40. > :20:45.are pretty Beaumaris sanctions, effectively a lifetime ban. Doping
:20:45. > :20:48.allegations against Lance Armstrong are nothing new. They've dogged him
:20:48. > :20:51.throughout his career. But the man who overcame life threatening
:20:51. > :20:57.testicular cancer to dominate his sport has always protested his
:20:57. > :21:03.innocence. I try not to let it bother me and just keep rolling
:21:03. > :21:10.along. I know what I know, I know what I do when they know what I did.
:21:10. > :21:15.That's not going to change. Armstrong won the Tour de France
:21:15. > :21:19.seven years in a row, from 1999- 2005. The US anti-doping agency
:21:19. > :21:23.have claimed that 10 of his former team-mates were prepared to testify
:21:23. > :21:29.against him. By avoiding that hearing, Armstrong will be well
:21:29. > :21:33.aware that in the eyes of many his reputation has been ruined. If I
:21:33. > :21:37.personally was Lance Armstrong, I would go for that trial, I couldn't
:21:37. > :21:41.wait for it to happen, to have an opportunity to have a day in public
:21:41. > :21:45.to clear the air. A hero to millions, a champion whose fame
:21:45. > :21:51.spread far beyond the sport of cycling. Lance Armstrong is now in
:21:51. > :21:55.danger of being remembered as something very different - a cheat.
:21:55. > :21:59.It's a job that requires great eyesight and a very steady hand.
:21:59. > :22:03.Scientists investigating the behaviour of the UK's largest ant
:22:03. > :22:08.species are to tag around 1000 of the insects in the first study of
:22:08. > :22:13.its kind. They will blue tiny radio tags to the backs of Northern
:22:14. > :22:17.Hereward ants living on National Trust land in Derbyshire. These ant
:22:17. > :22:23.a much bigger than the ones we typically see in our gardens,
:22:23. > :22:27.growing up to half an inch long. Even so, gluing tiny radio tags to
:22:27. > :22:31.their backs looks like a time- consuming task. Nevertheless,
:22:31. > :22:39.that's what scientists will spend the next three years doing. They
:22:39. > :22:44.planted have about 1000. receivers act like a bar code, you
:22:44. > :22:49.cannot scan it. What it means is you can tie up to 1000 Hands and
:22:49. > :22:56.see what each individual ant was doing in relation to the behaviour
:22:56. > :23:01.of the rest of the colony. There are an estimated 50 million of
:23:01. > :23:05.these ants, custard into around about 1000 nests. Researchers hope
:23:05. > :23:09.to learn how the nests are linked up and what they each ant lives in
:23:09. > :23:13.one or many. Sam Ellis will also put blobs of paint on some of the
:23:13. > :23:18.Adebayors, that's another way that they can be followed from nest to
:23:18. > :23:22.nest. The researchers also hope to find out more about the ants
:23:22. > :23:25.feeding habits. One of the species that arms aphids, feeding from the
:23:25. > :23:29.sweet sap that aphids draw from tree-trunks and in Britain
:23:29. > :23:33.providing muscular protection from predators. The National Trust have
:23:33. > :23:39.the findings will help them look after the ants, which are a
:23:39. > :23:42.protected species in the UK. It's not the most fitting resting place
:23:42. > :23:45.for a king, but archaeologists looking for the last great Bob Rich
:23:45. > :23:50.of the third are about to start digging up and 1960s car-park. He
:23:50. > :23:56.was killed at the Battle of Bosworth in that and buried at the
:23:56. > :24:03.church in Leicester which has long since disappeared. If Richard III
:24:03. > :24:08.cared about having a grave at fit for a king, he is now approaching
:24:08. > :24:13.his 527th Winter of discontent. Things didn't end well for Richard.
:24:13. > :24:16.He was the last English warrior king, vilified in history for
:24:16. > :24:21.murdering the princes in the tower were. Slain at the Battle of
:24:21. > :24:27.Bosworth, his body was paraded naked through the streets. Then it
:24:27. > :24:33.all gets a bit sketchy. It ends... Well, maybe it ends here in a
:24:33. > :24:38.council car-park in Leicester. Greyfriars are said to have buried
:24:38. > :24:42.him in their Friary church, without any great ceremony. We are now
:24:42. > :24:47.standing within the Greyfriars present. We assume then that the
:24:47. > :24:50.body may still be in the church. They are using sonar devices to try
:24:50. > :24:57.and find the walls of the Church, marking out were the trenches will
:24:57. > :25:01.be dug. Coming up our two weeks of intense of archaeology. All of this
:25:01. > :25:05.is surrounded by legend and conjecture, but we have very few
:25:05. > :25:10.firm facts. We know that Richard was slain in battle somewhere in
:25:10. > :25:15.this area. We know that his body was taken to Greyfriars for burial.
:25:15. > :25:20.But is this the side of the church and, even if it is, is his body
:25:20. > :25:24.still here? His bones are found, this Canadian could be crucial. He
:25:24. > :25:29.is believed to be a blood relative of Richard deferred, and they are
:25:29. > :25:34.collecting his DNA to compare with any remains they find. -- Richard
:25:34. > :25:37.III. A positive match would prove the connection. It is startling and
:25:37. > :25:39.thrilling in equal measure. It's the link is proven, would you be
:25:39. > :25:47.knocking on the door of Buckingham Palace and suggesting they let you
:25:47. > :25:51.in? Any spare palaces, I'm hoping to offer. With final preparations
:25:51. > :25:57.for the dig and the way, the team here know it's all a long shot. But
:25:57. > :26:04.the prize is the stuff of legend - rediscovering the lost grave of an
:26:04. > :26:08.English king. They Paralympic cauldron has been let in Trafalgar
:26:08. > :26:12.Square in London, ahead of the start of the Games next week. It
:26:12. > :26:21.was lit by Clare Lomas, who became the first person to complete the
:26:21. > :26:24.London Marathon in a bionic Paralysed from the chest down, it
:26:24. > :26:28.took Claire Lomas 16 days to complete this year's London
:26:28. > :26:38.Marathon. This morning it was a shorter journey to bring the
:26:38. > :26:40.
:26:40. > :26:44.How do you put that into words? Very prowled, I feel very
:26:44. > :26:48.privileged to be asked to be involved in the event today for the
:26:48. > :26:55.Paralympics. I've got a lot of respect for them all out there next
:26:55. > :27:00.week, bringing back the medals for Team GB again. If your symptoms,
:27:00. > :27:03.the Paralympics could be the antidote. More than 4000 athletes
:27:03. > :27:07.competing at 20 venues. The Prime Minister pledged another global
:27:07. > :27:13.triumph. And once again we are going to show the whole world that
:27:13. > :27:19.when it comes to putting on a show there is no country like Britain
:27:19. > :27:24.and no city like London. So let the Games begin and come on,
:27:24. > :27:27.Paralympics GB! This is just one of the four Paralympic lanes. Similar
:27:27. > :27:31.celebrations will be taking place in Wales, Scotland and Northern
:27:31. > :27:36.Ireland. The hope is it will engage the public in the same way the
:27:36. > :27:41.Olympic flame did. It gives people a chance to see and understand a
:27:42. > :27:46.bit more about what the Paralympics is all about. I think the whole
:27:46. > :27:51.London 2012, the Olympics, the Paralympics, it's been a phenomenal
:27:51. > :27:55.event. Are you inspired as much by the Paralympics as the Olympics?
:27:55. > :27:59.More inspired. These people have followed that determination and
:27:59. > :28:03.have had to really work hard. the flame now in the heart of the
:28:03. > :28:06.capital, the countdown for the Paralympics is truly under way. A
:28:06. > :28:10.Paralympics that organisers hope will be the most high-profile ever
:28:11. > :28:17.staged. The man in charge believes the legacy could be far-reaching.
:28:17. > :28:21.We really do have the opportunity to just nudge the agenda here and
:28:21. > :28:25.particularly some of the broader issues outside of sport -
:28:25. > :28:30.disability in the workplace, the way that communities actually can
:28:30. > :28:33.come together around some of the big disability issues. Off to
:28:33. > :28:37.Trafalgar Square, the flame was taken to the preparations for this
:28:37. > :28:42.weekend's Notting Hill Carnival. And the Paralympics symbol now
:28:42. > :28:52.hangs from London's Tower Bridge, replacing the Olympic one. Just
:28:52. > :28:57.
:28:57. > :29:02.five days and counting before the Unfortunately, it's not looking
:29:02. > :29:06.good to start the weekend, which is chock full of outdoor events. Wind
:29:06. > :29:10.and rain around, but hang on in until Sunday because it's looking
:29:10. > :29:14.an awful lot better, drier and brighter for the best. The rain is
:29:14. > :29:18.already starting to move in, pushing in across south-west
:29:18. > :29:23.England. This is what we've seen over the last few hours. Heavy
:29:23. > :29:27.showers across parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. We can see
:29:27. > :29:30.the way that main area of brain works northwards through the
:29:30. > :29:34.seething and overnight. Some heavy showers following. The main area of
:29:34. > :29:43.rain never quite getting into southern Scotland and much of
:29:43. > :29:47.Northern Ireland as well. Not a cold night. 9am tomorrow, some
:29:47. > :29:51.sunshine to staff the day across much of western Scotland, showers
:29:51. > :29:55.in the east, mind you. Thoroughly wet in this band of rain across
:29:55. > :29:59.northern England. There will be the potential for some very heavy
:30:00. > :30:02.showers, there from the word go. You will notice a pretty brisk wind
:30:02. > :30:06.along the south coast. Most southern counties of England will
:30:06. > :30:10.see a brisk breeze coming in. That won't help with the feel of the
:30:10. > :30:14.morning. More persistent rain trying to push in on the brisk
:30:14. > :30:19.breeze. Much lighter winds for the Midlands and across Wales, it means
:30:19. > :30:22.if you get a shower it will last for quite some time. One Northern
:30:22. > :30:28.Ireland, this is one of the brighter and drier spots to start
:30:28. > :30:31.the day, it could hopefully stay that way. Not a great deal of
:30:31. > :30:35.change for the rest of the day, always potential for some very
:30:35. > :30:41.heavy downpours across England and Wales. A bit hit and miss.
:30:41. > :30:46.Scattered showers for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Still those brisk
:30:46. > :30:49.winds across the south. Temperatures nothing too clever.
:30:49. > :30:54.Whether winds are like, if you are not getting a shower, it won't feel
:30:54. > :30:58.too bad. It is a big festival weekend and I think the ground will
:30:58. > :31:02.be looking like this in most locations, dusty winds rattling the
:31:02. > :31:06.tents for a while as well. On Sunday the wind dies away, the
:31:07. > :31:14.sunshine returns. That is the day of the weekend. Temperatures not
:31:14. > :31:18.much higher but with light winds it will feel like summer. Bank Holiday
:31:18. > :31:22.Monday, a band of wind and rain sweeping in from the West. Some
:31:22. > :31:32.eastern areas just about staying dry until the end of the day. It is
:31:32. > :31:34.
