:01:32. > :01:37.Good afternoon. Welcome to the BBC News at One. A female police

:01:37. > :01:41.officer has been shot dead during an operation to arrest a murder

:01:41. > :01:46.suspect in Greater Manchester. It happened in Hattersley this morning

:01:46. > :01:50.as police were trying to arrest Dale Cregan who was wanted for the

:01:50. > :01:55.death of two men at the beginning of the year. Another female officer

:01:55. > :02:01.has also been critically injured and is in hospital. Let's get the

:02:01. > :02:06.latest from our reporter in Manchester. What can you tell us?

:02:06. > :02:10.It was about 11 o'clock this morning that we got reports two

:02:10. > :02:15.police officers had been shot during an operation in Hattersley,

:02:15. > :02:19.10 miles east of Manchester city centre on a housing estate. Police

:02:19. > :02:23.were looking for a Dale Cregan who they wanted in connection with a

:02:23. > :02:27.gun and grenade attack in Manchester which killed a man,

:02:27. > :02:33.David Short. They also want to speak to him in connection with the

:02:33. > :02:39.death of David Shaw's son Mark. In Hattersley police officers arrived

:02:39. > :02:47.in force. We have got three bomb- disposal vans, police motorcyclists

:02:47. > :02:50.and there is a helicopter circling overhead. Just before 11 o'clock a

:02:50. > :02:54.lady living next door has said she heard an explosion in one of the

:02:54. > :03:00.back gardens and left her hope immediately and shortly afterwards

:03:00. > :03:05.that is when police officers arrived. As a result of that

:03:05. > :03:10.explosion and reports of gunfire, one man has been arrested, Dale

:03:10. > :03:14.Cregan. Residents are visibly upset and are trying to work out what has

:03:14. > :03:18.happened. They knew police wanted to speak to Dale Cregan and they

:03:18. > :03:22.say this is a nice estate and they are upset this may give the wrong

:03:22. > :03:26.impression of what Hattersley is like. Some are concerned because

:03:26. > :03:30.there is a school nearby and one woman was concerned about her

:03:30. > :03:36.daughter. The police told her they did not think there was any

:03:36. > :03:39.specific danger ongoing from this incident. We know now one female

:03:39. > :03:46.police officer has died and we are told another woman is fighting for

:03:46. > :03:51.her life in hospital. That is right. At first we heard two officers had

:03:51. > :03:55.been injured and police did not say whether that involved firearms.

:03:55. > :04:00.They have confirmed during this operation in Hattersley this

:04:00. > :04:06.morning as police were going into a house, where you can see the

:04:06. > :04:14.activity taking place, two police officers were shot. One died and

:04:14. > :04:17.one has been seriously hurt. Thank you with the latest. Let's take you

:04:17. > :04:20.straight to Greater Manchester Police and this is what they said

:04:20. > :04:26.about the death of one female police officer and the other woman

:04:26. > :04:29.who has been seriously injured. is with great sadness I have to

:04:29. > :04:37.report a police officer has died and another has been critically

:04:37. > :04:42.injured as they attended a routine incident in Hattersley. This was

:04:42. > :04:47.shot Libby for 11:00am this morning. There were reports shots had been

:04:47. > :04:52.fired close to that address. The two female officers, who were

:04:52. > :04:58.unarmed, has suffered serious injuries and one of the Cirque

:04:58. > :05:01.tragically died at the scene. Medical teams were quick on the

:05:01. > :05:07.scene to provide treatment and armed response vehicles secured the

:05:07. > :05:12.area as quickly as possible. The second officer has been critically

:05:12. > :05:15.injured and is currently being treated in hospital. Greater

:05:15. > :05:23.Manchester police are currently working to inform the families of

:05:23. > :05:28.both those officers. A short time after this incident 29 year-old

:05:28. > :05:34.Dale Cregan was arrested as he walked into a police station in

:05:34. > :05:38.Tameside. He has now been arrested on suspicion of two counts of

:05:38. > :05:41.murder in relation to the investigations into the murders of

:05:41. > :05:50.David Short and his son Mark. He has also been arrested on suspicion

:05:50. > :05:54.of the murder of a police officer. This is a heartbreaking time for

:05:54. > :06:01.the officers' families and their colleagues and our thoughts are

:06:01. > :06:06.with them at this most difficult time. This is a tragic day for a

:06:06. > :06:12.Greater Manchester Police and we are currently working hard, piecing

:06:12. > :06:16.together exactly what happens at this morning's events. These events

:06:16. > :06:22.led to one of our officers being murdered and another one lying in

:06:22. > :06:27.hospital fighting for her life. I understand the community will be

:06:27. > :06:32.fearful as they hear news of what happens in their community on top

:06:32. > :06:37.of everything that has happened in recent weeks. I want to reassure

:06:37. > :06:41.the communities of Tameside that we have armed officers patrolling the

:06:41. > :06:45.area and patrolling the streets and we aim to keep people as updated as

:06:45. > :06:54.we possibly can as we work through the rest of this very difficult day.

:06:55. > :07:00.Thank you very much. We will bring you the very latest on that story

:07:00. > :07:04.when we get it. Joint operations between NATO and

:07:04. > :07:09.Afghan troops are to be restricted because of the increase in so-

:07:09. > :07:14.called green on blue killings. 51 NATO troops have been killed so far

:07:14. > :07:20.this year by Afghan troops, including two British soldiers at

:07:20. > :07:27.the weekend. From now won only large-scale operators will be

:07:27. > :07:31.conducted with Afghan troops. Quentin Somerville is in Kabul.

:07:31. > :07:35.This is a big change in the way Afghan and international forces

:07:36. > :07:40.will work together to fight the Taliban. They will only routinely

:07:40. > :07:46.work together in big missions at battalion level. Anything below

:07:46. > :07:51.that will be assessed on a case-by- case basis. British and Afghan

:07:51. > :07:56.soldiers on patrol together fighting the Taliban. These routine

:07:56. > :07:59.missions will only happen now with senior approval. A dramatic

:07:59. > :08:03.increase in Afghan troops killing foreign soldiers means the

:08:03. > :08:10.international mission is keeping its partners at arm's length.

:08:10. > :08:15.take that very seriously and to be honest have we may be accelerated

:08:15. > :08:21.that? Yes. Have we stepped back a bit? Yes, but we are not walking

:08:21. > :08:25.away. The British Defence Secretary denies it is a change in strategy.

:08:26. > :08:29.There is no change of policy yet. This is a draft order we are

:08:29. > :08:34.looking at now. But the international mission says it is

:08:34. > :08:39.not a draft order and it was effective from Sunday. British

:08:39. > :08:43.forces seem to have been caught unaware by the changes. Yesterday I

:08:43. > :08:47.asked an urgent question when he came to the Commons and he did not

:08:47. > :08:51.mention this ad hoc. Either he knew about it and he was hiding it,

:08:51. > :08:57.which I do not think is the case, or the Americans are not bothering

:08:57. > :09:01.to tell their allies. This morning the Defence Secretary clarified the

:09:02. > :09:07.policy in Afghanistan. There has been no change of policy in

:09:07. > :09:11.Afghanistan. As I told the House yesterday, the security of our

:09:11. > :09:15.deployed forces in Afghanistan or anywhere in the world remains a

:09:15. > :09:20.defence priority. The safety of our service personnel is an issue that

:09:20. > :09:24.all in Government take extremely seriously. There has been a

:09:24. > :09:32.dramatic rise on the number of green on blue killings, Afghans in

:09:32. > :09:38.uniform targeting NATO troops. In 2007, just two NATO soldiers died.

:09:38. > :09:43.In 2011 that figure had jumped to 35. Already this year NATO has lost

:09:43. > :09:48.51 troops, seven of them British. International troops will only

:09:48. > :09:51.partner with Afghans on the biggest of missions. Routine patrols have

:09:51. > :09:56.in effect stop. They will only be approved with the permission of

:09:56. > :09:59.senior commanders. The core of the strategy has been to train the

:09:59. > :10:04.Afghans to face the Taliban, but the closer they worked together the

:10:04. > :10:10.greater the risk. Already foreign soldiers are packing up and heading

:10:10. > :10:14.home. Most will have gone by the end of 2014. International troops

:10:14. > :10:21.are stepping back earlier than expected. Soon Afghan forces will

:10:21. > :10:24.be left to do most of the fighting. This is a change in policy because

:10:24. > :10:28.previously joint patrols were standard. That is no longer the

:10:28. > :10:33.case. The reason they have ended is because the risk to British

:10:33. > :10:37.soldiers, not on the Taliban, but from the Afghans they serve

:10:37. > :10:42.alongside is increasing. We can speak to our defence

:10:42. > :10:46.correspondent Caroline Wyatt who is at the Ministry of Defence. There

:10:46. > :10:51.seems to be some confusion over all of this. How much will British

:10:51. > :10:54.operations changed? It has been a morning of confusion tried to work

:10:54. > :11:00.out what this order means specifically for British troops. We

:11:00. > :11:04.have had clarification from NATO in Kabul and from Philip Hammond the

:11:04. > :11:07.Defence Secretary. Births are saying what they call prudent but

:11:07. > :11:12.temporary measures being put in place because of the elevated risk

:11:12. > :11:17.and they are putting that elevated risk to British and NATO forces

:11:17. > :11:21.down to the anti- Islamic video that has inflamed tensions in

:11:21. > :11:25.Afghanistan and elsewhere. But Philip Hammond came out and said

:11:25. > :11:29.that what is happening now is British forces will be allowed to

:11:29. > :11:36.carry on with their patrols partnering with Afghan forces and

:11:36. > :11:42.that has been given the blessing of the commander, a US Marine General.

:11:42. > :11:45.For the British at least in Helmand there is not a significant change.

:11:46. > :11:50.But also over the coming days and weeks they will be looking at how

:11:50. > :11:55.to better protect troops in these kind of cases. They are playing it

:11:55. > :12:00.down, but it is clear NATO is responding also to what has

:12:00. > :12:04.happened in those green on blue, friendly forces attacks and they

:12:04. > :12:09.will be looking very closely at what more they, and also the

:12:09. > :12:13.Afghans, can do to reduce the risks. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

:12:13. > :12:17.have won their legal battle to stock photographs of the Duchess

:12:18. > :12:21.sunbathing topless being published are distributed again. A court in

:12:21. > :12:27.France made the ruling this morning and order the magazine to hand over

:12:27. > :12:31.all the digital copies of the photos were then the next 24 hours.

:12:31. > :12:36.We can speak to our Paris correspondent Christian Fraser.

:12:36. > :12:40.It was keenly anticipated and when the order finally came from the

:12:40. > :12:44.presiding magistrate, it was as predicted. They perhaps went a

:12:44. > :12:48.little further than some of the experts might have expected. In

:12:48. > :12:55.this document the royal couple are named as though they were ordinary

:12:55. > :13:00.citizens. They were the victims, it says, of a gross invasion of

:13:00. > :13:04.privacy. There is flash photography in this report.

:13:05. > :13:09.A paradise of Tuvalu, the latest up on the royal tour of the South

:13:09. > :13:14.Pacific, about as far removed from the controversy in France as it is

:13:14. > :13:18.possible to get. It is one of the smallest nation states and the

:13:18. > :13:24.world and there to greet them almost half the 10,000 people that

:13:24. > :13:28.occupied the islands. They were presented with a coconut form hd

:13:28. > :13:31.planted by the Queen when she visited in 1982. Perhaps they were

:13:31. > :13:36.toasting the result of a court decision many miles away that had

:13:36. > :13:43.just gone in their favour. In France the paparazzi were crammed

:13:43. > :13:53.around the door of the clerk's office. Are you happy for your

:13:53. > :13:53.

:13:53. > :13:57.client? Yes, it is a good result, she said. When it came the four

:13:57. > :14:02.page injunction issued by the magistrates banned any further

:14:02. > :14:08.publication of the photographs and lawyers were agreed it was the best

:14:08. > :14:12.possible outcome. The horse is out of the barn, so this is the next

:14:12. > :14:16.best thing. The damage has been done and they can hope that future

:14:16. > :14:20.damage will be eliminated. This decision in no way determines the

:14:20. > :14:25.outcome of the criminal inquiry that will follow up. The

:14:25. > :14:29.magistrates do state it was an infringement of privacy. What is

:14:29. > :14:34.unusual they demand the original photographs are returned to the

:14:34. > :14:38.royal couple. This order is directed at the Italian publishing

:14:38. > :14:44.group Mondadori. Last night that French lawyer acting for the couple

:14:44. > :14:48.said the balcony on which they were relaxing on this chateau en

:14:48. > :14:55.Provence was in no way visible to the naked eye. The only way they

:14:55. > :15:05.could have seen the dachas is through a long, telephoto lens. The

:15:05. > :15:06.

:15:06. > :15:12.Duchess is photogenic, but some people say this was an invasion of

:15:12. > :15:18.privacy. In this robust, lido action he has taken, William has

:15:18. > :15:23.shown he will not tolerate the same behaviour. In the coming months the

:15:23. > :15:27.magazine will defend a fool, legal challenge. Today they have lost,

:15:27. > :15:32.but they knew in these images there was huge profit. It was a

:15:32. > :15:42.calculated risk that paid off. For a William and Kate the victory sets

:15:42. > :15:46.down a marker, but in the end it We understand from the public

:15:46. > :15:51.prosecutor that that has begun here today. He has to ascertain where

:15:51. > :15:54.the photograph was taken from. At the moment that was a guess. He

:15:54. > :15:58.needs to ascertain whether public could have seen the balcony and he

:15:58. > :16:02.needs to work out who the accused is. There is no name in the lawsuit,

:16:02. > :16:07.the magazine is unlikely to tell the couple who the photographer was

:16:07. > :16:10.and it's equally unlike think court will make them do so. They protect

:16:10. > :16:14.sources in France and a court would need to be judged on the fact that

:16:14. > :16:16.this is of overriding public interest.

:16:16. > :16:20.Christian Fraser, thank you very much.

:16:20. > :16:25.Inflation has fallen again thanks to lower gas and electricity bills

:16:25. > :16:32.and a smaller rise in the cost of clothing. The annual race of

:16:32. > :16:35.inflation was down to 2.5% in August, here is Hugh Pym. -- 2.6%.

:16:35. > :16:40.Inflation has been putting a big squeeze on households with prices

:16:40. > :16:47.rising a lot faster than wages. But it has been moderating and is now

:16:47. > :16:51.at 2.5%, less than half the rate last autumn. So how do people feel

:16:51. > :16:55.about that? At the County Show in Berkshire at the weekend, families

:16:55. > :16:59.enjoyed the sunshine and rural displays and gave us their views on

:16:59. > :17:03.how they felt about their spending power. I think things do look

:17:03. > :17:08.better, I think things will improve. But I think everybody's got to keep

:17:08. > :17:13.positive about it. If your weekly shop costious �5 less, does anybody

:17:13. > :17:17.really notice that? Over a large figure - probably not. There could

:17:17. > :17:21.be better news ahead for consumers in future months as price pressures

:17:21. > :17:25.in the economy ease off again. think from here on for the rest of

:17:25. > :17:29.the year I expect inflation to stay roughly where it's been at the

:17:29. > :17:32.current levels. Beyond that, we may see some further moderation

:17:32. > :17:38.inflation as it returns closer to the Bank of England's target.

:17:38. > :17:41.But what about longer term and factors which might affect the

:17:41. > :17:46.inflation outlook? There could be a cloud on the horizon in the shape

:17:46. > :17:51.of higher food costs. Globally, grain prices and other commodities

:17:51. > :17:56.have been rising and that could be past on to consumers and so affect

:17:56. > :17:59.the rate of inflation. Michael farms near Newbury. He's seen an

:17:59. > :18:03.increase the in what he gets for his own crop as a result of the

:18:03. > :18:07.global pressures. At the end of last year's season, the prices were

:18:07. > :18:11.already going up because there were shortages waiting for this year's

:18:11. > :18:17.harvest. And because of the droughts that there have been even

:18:17. > :18:19.worse this year, then the prices have continued to go up of most

:18:19. > :18:23.crops. It's never certain that what

:18:23. > :18:28.happens in the farm yard and in the agricultural markets will affect

:18:28. > :18:32.consumers and the prices they pay in the shops, but the warning signs

:18:32. > :18:36.are there. Three generations of one family, a

:18:36. > :18:45.baby, its mother and grandmother, have all been killed in a suspected

:18:45. > :18:51.arson attack in-cum-brarn in Gwent. A 27-year-old man has been arrested.

:18:51. > :18:57.Let's speak to Jordan Davies who is at the scene now. This blaze broke

:18:57. > :19:00.out in the early hours of the morning? It did and it's with a mix

:19:00. > :19:04.of Horton and shock when people have been finding out about this.

:19:04. > :19:08.When the Fire Service arrived on the scene, they tackled the blaze

:19:08. > :19:12.and discovered the bodies of 46- year-old Kim Buckley, 17-year-old

:19:12. > :19:15.Kayleigh Buckley and six month- year-old Kimberley Buckley. It's

:19:15. > :19:19.believed she just left hospital yesterday. We know a 27-year-old

:19:19. > :19:23.man from the Manchester area has been arrested on suspicion of

:19:23. > :19:28.murder and he's currently being held in police custody.

:19:28. > :19:34.Officers have cordoned off the area and are making house hof house

:19:34. > :19:37.inquiries. Forensic teams and fire investigators have begun their

:19:38. > :19:41.investigations and have been gathering at the scene all day. It

:19:41. > :19:45.will be a while before they come to terms with what's happened here.

:19:45. > :19:48.Thank you very much. The time is almost 1.20. Our top story: One

:19:48. > :19:52.female police officer has been killed and another is fighting for

:19:52. > :20:02.her life after they were shot in Greater Manchester. We'll have the

:20:02. > :20:07.

:20:07. > :20:17.latest on this breaking story On BBC London: The house where Pink

:20:17. > :20:17.

:20:17. > :20:20.Floyd lived in the '60s goes up for The trial is under way of the man

:20:20. > :20:24.accused of supplying a gun to Mark Duggan whose death after he was

:20:25. > :20:28.shot dead by police sparked last summer's riots. The prosecution

:20:28. > :20:31.allege Mark Duggan collected the gun from Kevin Hutchinson-Foster

:20:32. > :20:35.just before he was lived. Matt Prodger reports.

:20:35. > :20:39.The immediate aftermath of the moment when Mark Duggan was shot

:20:39. > :20:44.dead by police in Tottenham last year. Captured by a member of the

:20:44. > :20:47.public, it shows paramedics trying to save his life and police

:20:47. > :20:52.firearms officers nearby. The shooting sparked the Tottenham

:20:52. > :20:58.riots which over the next four days spread across London and to other

:20:58. > :21:01.English cities. The court heard that this man,

:21:01. > :21:05.Kevin Hutchinson-Foster, supplied Mark Duggan with a gun 15 minutes

:21:05. > :21:08.before police intercepted the taxi that Mr Duggan was travelling in

:21:08. > :21:12.shortly before he was shot. The gun, similar to this one, was allegedly

:21:12. > :21:16.found at the scene. The prosecution said that Mark

:21:16. > :21:18.Duggan was shot and killed by the police here at Ferry Lane in

:21:18. > :21:24.Tottenham as a result of his possession of that gun and what he

:21:24. > :21:28.was thought to be about to do with A week earlier, the court heard Mr

:21:28. > :21:33.Hutchinson-Foster used the same gun at this hair salon in Hackney, now

:21:33. > :21:36.under different ownership. He'd pistol-whipped a barber inside and

:21:36. > :21:41.the blood of both men was allegedly found on the gun. The jury was told

:21:41. > :21:44.that throughout the three-week trial, it will hear scientific and

:21:44. > :21:47.eyewitness evidence that Mark Duggan was armed when he was shot

:21:47. > :21:52.dead by police last year. But it won't be asked to decide whether

:21:52. > :21:56.that shooting was right or wrong. That's for an inquest to consider

:21:56. > :22:01.next year. Kevin Hutchinson-Foster denies

:22:01. > :22:06.supplying the gun. There's been a big rise in the

:22:06. > :22:09.number of complaints against doctors, particularly against older

:22:09. > :22:13.male GPs. There were 8,800 complaints across the UK last year,

:22:13. > :22:17.an increase of nearly a quarter on the year before and a record high.

:22:17. > :22:23.The Royal College of GPs called the figures disappointing as our Health

:22:23. > :22:26.Correspondent Dominic Hughes tells Ask the doctor you choose for an

:22:26. > :22:31.application form... Doctors were once intimidating figures of

:22:31. > :22:33.authority whose word was rarely challenged. But new figures from

:22:33. > :22:38.the General Medical Council show the picture today is very different

:22:38. > :22:42.and complaints against doctors have risen sharply. Last year, there

:22:42. > :22:46.were nearly 8,800 complaints made against doctors in the UK, an

:22:46. > :22:54.increase of nearly a quarter on the year before, most often it was male

:22:54. > :22:57.doctors over the age of 5. Of-p -- 55. The older male issue, there may

:22:57. > :23:02.be factors we need to look at, there may be factors about their

:23:02. > :23:05.ability to handle the stress, pressures and also their ability

:23:05. > :23:10.maybe to communicate effectively at times of increased pressure.

:23:10. > :23:14.Patients do seem more willing to complain if they feel they haven't

:23:14. > :23:18.been treated properly. Britain, we are a bunch of complainers quite

:23:19. > :23:23.frankly, yes, we want the bust in customer service. I would complaint

:23:23. > :23:28.if I had a doctor that I didn't feel gave me the service they were

:23:28. > :23:32.required to give. I think people are much more ready to complain

:23:32. > :23:36.than they used to be. NHS doctors see millions of patients each year,

:23:36. > :23:41.so the number of complaints represents just a tiny proportion

:23:41. > :23:46.of all those consultations. The GMC doesn't believe the rise in

:23:46. > :23:49.complaints means standards are falling. Patient expectations are

:23:49. > :23:53.rising and therefore they're more lakely to complain about their care.

:23:53. > :23:57.They are also becoming much more knowledgeable about their care and

:23:57. > :24:01.they're more likely to challenge doctor who is have to see patients

:24:01. > :24:04.as partners. The General Medical Council's introduced new procedures

:24:04. > :24:07.to ensure doctor standards are maintained, including an

:24:07. > :24:11.independent tribunal service which meets here in Manchester. More

:24:11. > :24:14.doctors are being investigated and armed with better knowledge and a

:24:14. > :24:19.greater willingness to complain, patients have ensured the age of

:24:19. > :24:22.deference to doctors has passed. Now, if you think of going on a

:24:22. > :24:25.cruise, you would probably imagine heading to the Caribbean or the

:24:25. > :24:28.Mediterranean. But how about Belfast? The city has become one of

:24:28. > :24:32.the fastest growing cruise destinations in the world with a

:24:32. > :24:36.record 43 tourist ships sailing into port this year alone and

:24:36. > :24:40.giving a welcome boost to the local economy. Here is our Ireland

:24:40. > :24:45.correspondent, Mark Simpson. The changing face of Belfast.

:24:45. > :24:51.International cruise ships used to steer clear of these shores. Not

:24:51. > :24:54.any more. 4,000 passengers and crew were on the latest arrival and this

:24:54. > :24:59.family from the Philippines couldn't wait to see Belfast for

:24:59. > :25:02.the first time. We loved the idea of going to the

:25:02. > :25:08.European countries and Belfast is just one of them, so we took

:25:08. > :25:13.advantage of that. Can we go now, please?!

:25:13. > :25:19.This year, a record 43 cruise ships have sailed into Belfast, once

:25:19. > :25:22.known as Bomb City, it's now visitor numbers that are booming.

:25:22. > :25:24.Curiosity's a huge driver for tourism and people are curious

:25:24. > :25:27.about Belfast and Northern Ireland. The political stability's given us

:25:27. > :25:32.that ability to go to the market place and now say, look what we

:25:32. > :25:37.have to offer. Belfast has been transformed by the

:25:37. > :25:40.peace process with a series of new attractions including the recently

:25:40. > :25:45.built Titanic Centre. It's already had half a million visitors. But

:25:45. > :25:49.what do the cruise ship tours think of the City? Everyone was friendly

:25:49. > :25:54.and kind and helpful and we had a lovely time.

:25:54. > :25:58.Was it what you were expecting? Better. Yes, I would say it was

:25:58. > :26:01.much better than I expected. Tourism is not just helping the

:26:02. > :26:06.image of Belfast, it's a financial boost.

:26:06. > :26:10.These are very difficult times for Northern Ireland's economy. A boat

:26:10. > :26:15.load of international visitors isn't going to solve those problems

:26:15. > :26:20.overnight, but it can only help. These are the same waters where

:26:20. > :26:28.Titanic was launched. 100 years on, Belfast is no longer building ships,

:26:28. > :26:34.but it is attracting them. Let's have a look at the weather

:26:34. > :26:36.now with Phil Avery. now with Phil Avery.

:26:37. > :26:40.Thanks very much indeed. A similar theme to yesterday. I'm

:26:40. > :26:43.adding into the mix a chilly breeze. The wind has flicked to the north-

:26:44. > :26:48.west which has consequences to the feel of the day also a bit of a

:26:48. > :26:51.feel on just where the showers pop up. They run there nicely out of

:26:51. > :26:55.the Irish Sea or have done this morning through into the north

:26:55. > :27:00.Midlands. They may creep over to areas south of the wash. There you

:27:00. > :27:05.see the representation of the wind with a scattering of showers,

:27:06. > :27:09.mostly across the British Isles. One or two sharp showers around

:27:09. > :27:14.about the Bristol area and I wouldn't be surprised to see more

:27:14. > :27:18.running in on the shores of Devon and Cornwall.

:27:18. > :27:23.Northern and western parts of Wales will have some rain too.

:27:23. > :27:26.Looking further to the north-west, again there will be that mixture of

:27:26. > :27:32.Sunni and showers, but not with yesterday's intensity. A similar

:27:32. > :27:36.prospect for the central belt of Scotland. Plenty of showers to come

:27:36. > :27:40.across the north-eastern corner of Scotland and the Northern Isles.

:27:40. > :27:44.Some showers skip across the Pennines, getting down towards the

:27:44. > :27:49.Wash area. The further south and east you are, the drier and finer

:27:49. > :27:55.your afternoon will be. Temperatures round about 17 or 18.

:27:55. > :28:02.Many of the showers will die away, but not all. As the skies begin to

:28:02. > :28:12.cler, you will certainly have the - - clear, you will certainly have

:28:12. > :28:13.

:28:13. > :28:18.the autumnal feel. Prone areas in the south with the

:28:18. > :28:22.risk of a touch of frost, along with other locations. On Wednesday,

:28:22. > :28:26.the showers running over the Irish Sea to the Greater Manchester area

:28:26. > :28:29.and North Midlands. A scattering in Scotland and Northern Ireland too.

:28:29. > :28:33.The temperatures on the sunny side of the street not too bad at all.

:28:33. > :28:37.Then we change the script on Thursday. Forget about showers,

:28:37. > :28:45.it's more about persistent rain. The weather front increases the

:28:45. > :28:50.cloud. Spreading rain across the central third to have British Isles.

:28:50. > :28:54.The rain will sink its way south during the course of Friday. Sophie.

:28:54. > :28:57.Thank you very much. Lets's go back to our main story. A female police

:28:57. > :29:01.officer has been shot dead in Greater Manchester, another is

:29:01. > :29:04.fighting for her life in hospital. They were attending a routine

:29:04. > :29:07.incident which has led to the arrest of a wanted murder suspect.

:29:07. > :29:10.Let's get the latest from our correspondent, Ed Thomas, at the

:29:10. > :29:14.headquarters of Greater Manchester Police, a tragic day for the whole

:29:14. > :29:17.force, say graim Police, what more can you tell us about what happened

:29:17. > :29:21.this morning -- Greater Manchester Police? Yes, GMP say the two

:29:21. > :29:28.officers were responding to what they say was a routine call. They

:29:28. > :29:32.were both unarmed. When they got to Abbey Gardens in Hattersley in the

:29:32. > :29:35.Tameside area, shots were fired. Sa short time later, an officer died,

:29:35. > :29:40.another one is critically injured in hospital.

:29:40. > :29:46.A short time later after that, Dale Cregan walked into a police station

:29:46. > :29:52.and he was arrested. This 29-year- old has been at the centre of a

:29:52. > :29:59.manhunt here in Greater Manchester, ofrl several hundred officers have

:29:59. > :30:07.been trying to find him. A �50,000 reward was offered for his arrest.

:30:07. > :30:10.He's been arrested in relation to murders of two men. He's also been

:30:10. > :30:13.arrested with the shooting of a police officer. We heard from an

:30:13. > :30:18.officer here, he said it was a heartbreaking time for the families

:30:18. > :30:20.and the force. Armed officers are on the streets of East Manchester

:30:20. > :30:24.in Tameside to try to reassure those who live there.

:30:24. > :30:28.Thank you very much. In the last few minutes, Theresa May has said

:30:28. > :30:32.this is a deeply shocking incident, a terrible reminder of the risks
