:00:30. > :00:34.little girl to specialist teams now. The dynamics of the search have now

:00:34. > :00:39.changed and due to the passage of time and the developments within

:01:50. > :01:52.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. The man who's been

:01:52. > :01:55.held in connection with the disappearance of five-year-old

:01:55. > :01:58.April Jones has now been arrested on suspicion of her murder. Mark

:01:58. > :02:03.Bridger, who's 46, was first arrested on Tuesday - a day after

:02:03. > :02:06.April was seen climbing into a vehicle near her home in Mid Wales.

:02:06. > :02:09.This morning, police said they would not stop their efforts to

:02:09. > :02:18.find April but they appealed to the public to leave the search to

:02:18. > :02:22.specialist teams now. Jon Brain is in Machynlleth. Well, today's

:02:22. > :02:25.announcement of a murder arrest is really the first public

:02:25. > :02:29.acknowledgement by the police that they believe April is no longer

:02:29. > :02:35.alive. A huge blow for a town here which has been searching for her

:02:35. > :02:40.for five days. But this is now purely a criminal investigation.

:02:40. > :02:44.Mark Bridger has been in police custody since Tuesday on suspicion

:02:44. > :02:50.of abducting April. At a news conference this morning the police

:02:50. > :02:56.announced they now believe he is responsible for her death. Mark

:02:56. > :03:01.Bridger has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of April

:03:02. > :03:08.Jones. He remains in custody at Aberystwyth police station and

:03:08. > :03:13.continues to be questioned. The arrest does not detract from our

:03:13. > :03:19.efforts to locate April and we remain committed to finding her.

:03:19. > :03:22.But it means any ling everying hopes of finding April alive have

:03:22. > :03:30.all but evaporated. What exactly happened to the five-year-old still

:03:30. > :03:34.isn't clear. Search teams are out again today,

:03:34. > :03:38.but they're now looking for April's body. And for evidence to aid a

:03:38. > :03:42.criminal prosecution. Although the area of the search operation

:03:42. > :03:48.remains a vast one the teams keep returning to this one particular

:03:48. > :03:56.spot at the river Dovey, it's yards from where Bridge Night was arrest

:03:56. > :04:02.-- Mark Bridger was reu rested -- April went missing from near her

:04:02. > :04:09.home at 7.00pm on Monday evening. Bridge Night was arrested on

:04:09. > :04:16.Tuesday afternoon while walking along the A847. On Wednesday,

:04:16. > :04:21.detectives released a photograph of his Land Rover Discovery. The next

:04:21. > :04:24.day police searched a small farmhouse in a nearby village where

:04:24. > :04:27.Bridger lived most recently. This morning he has been arrested on

:04:27. > :04:31.suspicion of murder. Stkpwhrp. The volunteers who have

:04:31. > :04:35.been looking for April were crestfallen by today's developments.

:04:35. > :04:39.Some are still clinging on to the belief she may be alive.

:04:39. > :04:44.This child has not been found. We still have hope. I have been saying

:04:44. > :04:49.this from the very beginning. We still have hope until somebody

:04:49. > :04:56.tells us anything different. That's what the town of Machynlleth is

:04:56. > :05:00.going to say. We still have hope. Hope shared by classmates at

:05:00. > :05:05.April's school. The little girl's teddy bear is the centrepiece of a

:05:05. > :05:09.special tribute. This lunchtime it's emerged that

:05:09. > :05:13.Mark Bridger attended the same school parents' evening as April's

:05:13. > :05:16.parents on Monday night. April received such a glowing report from

:05:17. > :05:23.her teacher that her mother allowed her extra play time outside as a

:05:23. > :05:26.treat. It was during that play time that she was taken.

:05:26. > :05:29.Jeremy Cooke is outside Aberystwyth Magistrates' court.

:05:29. > :05:33.The fact that he has now been arrested on suspicion of murder

:05:33. > :05:38.doesn't change the fact that the police only have until 5.00pm this

:05:38. > :05:41.afternoon to question him at the moment. That's right, at the moment

:05:41. > :05:45.Bridge Night is being questioned -- Mark Bridger is being questioned a

:05:45. > :05:50.short distance from here, of course being questioned now in connection

:05:50. > :05:54.with the alleged murder of five- year-old April Jones. The time they

:05:54. > :05:58.got to speak to him runs out at around 5.00pm this afternoon. They

:05:58. > :06:01.would have to charge him or release him at this point but we are here

:06:01. > :06:05.at the magistrates court because we expect that during the course of

:06:05. > :06:08.the afternoon it may well be that Mark Bridger is brought here for

:06:08. > :06:13.another closed session. Detectives are asking the magistrates for an

:06:13. > :06:17.extension in the time they can have to question Mark Bridger. If they

:06:17. > :06:23.are granted that, it would take us into late tomorrow afternoon,

:06:23. > :06:32.Saturday, early evening. Then they would have to decide whether to

:06:32. > :06:35.charge this individual or release him.

:06:35. > :06:38.The UK faces a greater risk of power shortages in the next few

:06:38. > :06:41.years as coal-fired power plants are forced to close. EU

:06:41. > :06:43.environmental legislation means the plants will no longer be able to

:06:43. > :06:47.generate power. The energy regulator says it expects the risk

:06:47. > :06:51.of an energy shortfall to be at its highest in three years' time, when

:06:51. > :06:56.the spare capacity in the system will fall from 14% to just 4%. Our

:06:56. > :07:00.industry correspondent John Moylan reports.

:07:00. > :07:05.Is this a vision of Britain in just a few years' time? With power cuts

:07:05. > :07:10.and energy shortages? According to the industry regulator, the risk of

:07:10. > :07:13.this happening has increased. report which looks at the spare

:07:13. > :07:19.electricity capacity on the system shows that spare capacity is going

:07:19. > :07:23.down from around 14% now to around 4% in three years' time. Now any

:07:23. > :07:27.decrease in capacity margin will increase the risk of electricity

:07:27. > :07:31.shorpbgs -- shortages. It's a warning light to us. The problem is

:07:31. > :07:41.that many of our older more polluting power plants have to

:07:41. > :07:44.

:07:44. > :07:53.close due to EU environmental targets.

:07:53. > :07:59.In March next year much of this plant will be turned off.

:07:59. > :08:07.Ofgem says the probability of a blackout has increased from one in

:08:07. > :08:10.3300 years now to one in 12 by 2015. What's needed is more investment.

:08:10. > :08:14.The Government's energy bill, which due to be published in the coming

:08:14. > :08:19.weeks, is intended to pave the way for a new generation of nuclear,

:08:19. > :08:23.wind and gas-fired plants. Companies say that can't happen

:08:23. > :08:28.soon enough. We have for sometime been concerned that the absence of

:08:28. > :08:32.haeufpg the -- having the energy bill that gives regulation and

:08:32. > :08:36.regulatory OK has left uncertainty and has made investment decisions

:08:36. > :08:41.not come forward. Today the Government said it would like to

:08:41. > :08:45.see more spare capacity on the system, but that the forecast drop

:08:45. > :08:55.to just 4% was adequate and only represented a low risk to

:08:55. > :08:55.

:08:55. > :08:57.households. The Chief Constable of Cleveland

:08:58. > :09:00.Police, Sean Price, has been sacked for gross misconduct. A

:09:00. > :09:02.disciplinary hearing found that he lied to the Independent Police

:09:03. > :09:06.Complaints Commission about his role in recruiting the daughter of

:09:06. > :09:09.a former Police Authority chairman to a civilian role in the force. He

:09:09. > :09:13.also instructed a member of staff to lie. Danny Savage is in

:09:13. > :09:19.Cleveland. Tell us more about this, Danny. Well, Sean Price has been

:09:19. > :09:24.the Chief Constable here since since 2003 but he has become the

:09:24. > :09:28.first officer of the rank to be dismissed for 35 years. This

:09:28. > :09:31.surrounded allegations of him lying to the Independent Police

:09:31. > :09:34.Complaints Commission who are investigating the appointment of a

:09:34. > :09:38.female civilian worker here. She was the daughter of the former

:09:38. > :09:42.chairman of the Police Authority here in Cleveland and Sean Price is

:09:43. > :09:46.said to have lied to the IPCC about that, but more seriously, say the

:09:46. > :09:51.Police Authority here, he then pressured a more junior colleague

:09:51. > :09:55.also to lie to the IPCC about what happened. Now, they have said that

:09:55. > :09:59.his behaviour was shameful, that he intimidated and bullied his staff,

:09:59. > :10:02.but Sean Price says the decision reached was incorrect. The Police

:10:02. > :10:05.Authority here in Cleveland say this is about one man and shouldn't

:10:05. > :10:10.affect the way the public perceive the police in this area. But there

:10:10. > :10:13.is a wider picture here, as well, something like six officers have

:10:13. > :10:16.been investigated over a variety of allegations nationwide at the

:10:16. > :10:25.moment. It shows what sort of public scrutiny those officers are

:10:25. > :10:27.under. Three Kenyans who claim they were

:10:27. > :10:30.tortured by British colonial authorities have been told they can

:10:30. > :10:33.proceed with compensation claims against the Government. The two men

:10:33. > :10:36.and a woman were detained during the Kenyan emergency in the 1950s

:10:36. > :10:39.on suspicion of being involved in the Mau Mau uprising. The

:10:39. > :10:45.Government says it will appeal against the High Court's decision.

:10:45. > :10:49.Peter Biles reports. The court proceedings have lasted

:10:49. > :10:53.less than tpoeuf minutes, the judge ruled even though incidents of

:10:53. > :10:57.torture took place in Kenya nearly 60 years ago a fair trial is still

:10:57. > :11:00.possible. Those who have been supporting the Mau Mau veterans in

:11:00. > :11:04.their efforts to sue the British Government were delighted by the

:11:04. > :11:07.judgment. Today was an historic day in terms of bringing the British

:11:07. > :11:11.Government to book for what it did all those years ago. Our clients

:11:11. > :11:14.are absolutely delighted but not just the three of them, but all the

:11:14. > :11:19.other thousands of Kenyans who will be able to use this judgment to get

:11:19. > :11:24.justice as well for them but also perhaps for all the other colonies

:11:24. > :11:28.where similar sorts of abuse occurred, that for all of them this

:11:28. > :11:32.will be a major day. It was one of the darker periods of Britain's

:11:32. > :11:36.colonial past. The Mau Mau uprising was a rebellion against British

:11:37. > :11:40.rule in Kenya. During a state of emergency in the 1950s, the three

:11:40. > :11:46.claimants who brought this case say they were brutally tortured while

:11:46. > :11:50.in detention. Kenyans were waiting in Nairobi

:11:50. > :11:54.today for the news from London. The claimants had given evidence at the

:11:54. > :11:58.High Court earlier this year and this was another important judgment

:11:58. > :12:04.in the struggle for justice. Absolutely thrilling. You can see

:12:04. > :12:07.it for yourselves. Everybody yourselves. The Foreign Office said

:12:07. > :12:10.said it was disappointed and plans to appeal. The Government's

:12:10. > :12:14.argument has been there could not be a fair trial so long after

:12:14. > :12:19.atrocities were committed. A full trial could still be a year away.

:12:19. > :12:29.It's no longer disputed the torture did take place in Kenya in the is

:12:29. > :12:29.

:12:29. > :12:36.the 50s pwrb pwrb in the 1950s but they still want an apology and

:12:36. > :12:40.recompense for what happened. After years of legal wrangling,

:12:40. > :12:43.High Court judges are about to give a final ruling on a legal bid by

:12:43. > :12:45.Abu Hamza and four other terrorism suspects, to stop their extradition

:12:45. > :12:48.to the United States. Our home affairs correspondent June Kelly is

:12:48. > :12:51.at the High Court. This is very much a last ditch

:12:51. > :12:56.attempt, isn't it? That's right. This has been a legal marathon, but

:12:56. > :12:59.this really is the end game now for Abu Hamza. This afternoon we will

:12:59. > :13:02.learn whether he is going to be put on a plane to the United States.

:13:02. > :13:08.There's been a demonstration here this morning in support of Abu

:13:08. > :13:13.Hamza and some of the other terror suspects also facing extradition.

:13:13. > :13:21.Abu Hamza's lawyers argued here that the extradition should be

:13:21. > :13:27.played -- -- delayed one more time until his mental health had been

:13:27. > :13:29.assessed. Now the judges here gave that short shrift and said they

:13:29. > :13:34.were decent medical facilities in America. They've given the

:13:34. > :13:42.impression they want to crack on with this and bring it to a

:13:42. > :13:44.conclusion. In over an hour's time we will all learn his fate.

:13:44. > :13:47.The Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police - who was

:13:47. > :13:51.criticised in a report last month on the Hillsborough disaster - is

:13:51. > :13:53.to retire next March. Sir Norman Bettison has always denied taking

:13:53. > :13:55.part in a cover-up of police failings. He said he hoped his

:13:55. > :14:00.departure would allow the Independent Police Complaints

:14:00. > :14:04.Commission to examine his conduct thoroughly.

:14:04. > :14:07.This was Sir Norman Bettison last weekend at the national police

:14:07. > :14:11.memorial service, West Yorkshire's Chief Constable was due to leave

:14:11. > :14:16.his post in 2014. Last night, he said he would go in six months

:14:16. > :14:20.instead. Today, there was no sign of Sir Norman at his home. Last

:14:20. > :14:24.night he linked his decision to go to events in recent weeks which

:14:24. > :14:30.have seen the publication of the Hillsborough report. The judgment

:14:30. > :14:34.was that the chief clearly has had to - that decision was about how

:14:34. > :14:38.much of a distraction the matters relating to Hillsborough following

:14:38. > :14:45.the report were going to be. So, we understand and we support that

:14:45. > :14:49.decision. 96 Liverpool fans died as a result of crushing at the

:14:49. > :14:53.Hillsborough stadium in 1989. A Taylor Inquiry found that South

:14:53. > :14:57.Yorkshire Police were to blame. At the time, Sir Norman was an

:14:57. > :15:01.inspector. The report found that he was involved in an intensive

:15:01. > :15:04.efforts to promote the police and smear the fans. For 23 years, those

:15:04. > :15:08.bereaved by Hillsborough have campaigned for the truth about how

:15:08. > :15:11.their relatives died. With the publication last month of the

:15:11. > :15:16.Hillsborough Independent Panel Report, they feel they've achieved

:15:16. > :15:19.that aim and they now have much more information about how officers,

:15:19. > :15:27.including Sir Norman Bettison, behaved in the aftermath of the

:15:27. > :15:33.tragedy. The Hillsborough campaign groups have long wanted Sir Norman

:15:33. > :15:37.to go. Today, they welcomed his decision to leave. But with

:15:37. > :15:40.reservations. There is a difference on retiring but actually getting

:15:40. > :15:44.the sack on your full pension, without your full pension. That's

:15:45. > :15:50.our goal, we have got to make sure we take that knighthood away, we

:15:50. > :15:53.get rid of that and he does not retire on a full pension.

:15:53. > :15:57.Norman has always denied amending police statements as part of a

:15:57. > :16:07.coverup. The Association of Chief Police Officers said he would be a

:16:07. > :16:11.

:16:11. > :16:14.great loss to policing. Campaigners The 46-year-old man, held in

:16:14. > :16:19.detection with the disappearance of five-year-old April Jones has been

:16:19. > :16:23.arrested on suspicion of murder. There's shock in April's home town.

:16:23. > :16:27.Police are asking the public to leave the search for her now to

:16:27. > :16:31.specialist teams. Later on BBC London: Is it or isn't

:16:31. > :16:34.it anti-Semitic? The mural in Tower Hamlets which the Council says must

:16:34. > :16:37.be removed. And why a new container port here

:16:37. > :16:47.could make it easier for the capital's businesss to trade with

:16:47. > :16:49.

:16:49. > :16:54.A team of British and French archaeologists have entered a

:16:54. > :16:58.labyrinth of tunnels under the some battlefield in franch, untouched

:16:58. > :17:04.for almost 100 years. They're the deepest tunnels discovered in the

:17:04. > :17:07.area. They were dug so troops could lay explosives below enemy lines.

:17:07. > :17:13.Robert Hall has been given exclusive access to them and is in

:17:13. > :17:17.the village of La Boisselle. To be more precise underneath La Boissele,

:17:17. > :17:21.under the old British front lines. If we had been here during the

:17:21. > :17:26.First World War these lines would have been filled with the sounds of

:17:26. > :17:30.picks and shovels perhaps men's voices and the soldiers made their

:17:30. > :17:34.way to the deeper levels, currently under exploration. There is the

:17:34. > :17:40.route that this team are following as they piece together more detail

:17:40. > :17:46.than ever of how those men lived and died.

:17:46. > :17:52.A slow dissent into a wartime underworld, a world of darkness, of

:17:52. > :17:56.fear, of extreme and sudden violence. During the battle of the

:17:56. > :18:02.some with opposing forces unable to advance, commanders looked for new

:18:02. > :18:05.ways to gain the advantage. Along the front teams of tunnellers

:18:05. > :18:11.borrowed beneath no-man's land to lay explosives which could destroy

:18:11. > :18:16.enemy trenches. It rises slightly here. It's taken the team two years

:18:16. > :18:19.to find and enter this tunnel system. No-one really knew what to

:18:19. > :18:25.expect when entering a labyrinth, sealed for the best part of a

:18:25. > :18:30.century. This is my colleague Rick, whose grandfather as way -- was a

:18:30. > :18:34.tunneller. It is hard to put in words. You're slightly overwhelmed

:18:34. > :18:38.by feelings below ground. I try not to think about it too much. But,

:18:38. > :18:41.yeah I've got a great deal of respect for what these guys did

:18:41. > :18:49.down here and what my grandfather did. It gives you an idea of what

:18:49. > :18:53.it was like for him. But the cramped galleries were perfectly

:18:53. > :19:01.preserved, littered with wartime debris, stretching away into the

:19:01. > :19:05.gloom. Down here, tunnellers strained to hear the sounds of the

:19:05. > :19:09.enemy working nearby and soldiers prepared to face an attack. I have

:19:09. > :19:13.no inkling of what it must have been like to work in a place like

:19:13. > :19:18.this. We're only exploring it. We have lovely bright torchs, air

:19:18. > :19:21.monitors and everything else. This is a battleground. You had a game

:19:21. > :19:28.of blind fold cat-and-mouse and no second place for the loseer. That's

:19:28. > :19:32.it, you're blown up under ground. An horrific way, horrific way to

:19:32. > :19:39.die. This exploration will take us all closer to the men who travelled

:19:39. > :19:43.from mining towns to do their bit. In a blocked gallery lie the

:19:43. > :19:52.remains of two tunnellers buried by an explosion in 1915. The work now

:19:52. > :19:55.under way is a tribute to them and to so many more.

:19:55. > :19:59.They'll be closing the site up for the winter over the next couple of

:19:59. > :20:02.days. Before they do, they'll hold a moment of remembrance near the

:20:02. > :20:06.spot where those two miners lie. They are hopeful that they'll be

:20:06. > :20:09.back next year. There's a great deal to explore, about eight

:20:09. > :20:13.kilometres of tunnels. That is only what they've managed to see so far.

:20:13. > :20:17.There are shafts leading up into another labyrinth which is for the

:20:17. > :20:23.future. For now, they're content with being able to uncover as many

:20:23. > :20:27.of those secrets as they possibly can.

:20:27. > :20:31.A committee of MPs says too many public sector employees are being

:20:31. > :20:34.paid without having their tax deducted at source. The Public

:20:35. > :20:36.Accounts Committee has criticised pay arrangements in Whitehall and

:20:36. > :20:42.at the BBC. Our business correspondent Emma

:20:42. > :20:47.Simpson reports. Most of us pay tax, just how much, though, can be

:20:47. > :20:54.controversial. Earlier this year, it emerged that the head of the

:20:54. > :20:58.Student Loans Company Ed Lester, on the left, was being paid via a

:20:58. > :21:04.service company instead of PAYE, potentially saving thousands in tax.

:21:04. > :21:08.It caused an outcry. Now the focus has turned here to the BBC. The

:21:08. > :21:13.Parliamentary watchdog, the Public Accounts Committee, acoo you coo --

:21:13. > :21:17.accused it of not requiring tax to be paid at source by many of its

:21:17. > :21:23.workers, some of whom are reckoned to be household names. I think

:21:23. > :21:28.we're shocked to find that so many people whose income is derived from

:21:28. > :21:31.the public purse are paid in ways which mean they avoid paying dew

:21:31. > :21:34.tax and national insurance contribution. That goes from the

:21:34. > :21:40.civil service through to the NHS, local Government and I'm afraid,

:21:40. > :21:44.the BBC. So why might the BBC want to pay some of its staff through a

:21:44. > :21:48.service company rather than direct from the payroll? The BBC benefits

:21:48. > :21:52.because it removed an obligation on them for PAYE and national

:21:52. > :21:55.insurance and it shifts it across to the service company. As far as

:21:55. > :22:00.the presenter or whoever is concerned operating through a

:22:00. > :22:05.service company rbs they may or may not get a benefit. It may be they

:22:05. > :22:12.pay the same amount tax any way if it's paid out as remuneration.

:22:12. > :22:18.BBC has 17,000 fulltime staff. It issued 25,000 off-payroll contracts

:22:18. > :22:22.last year, including contributors and technicians. There are 467

:22:22. > :22:26.presenters on long-term contracts being paid via a company. If people

:22:26. > :22:31.who work with us, work with other organisations as well, and they

:22:31. > :22:36.work with us through a service company, this enables us to provide

:22:36. > :22:39.the Inland Revenue with the details of the work that they do for us and

:22:39. > :22:44.therefore ensure they pay the right amount of tax. The Chief Secetary

:22:44. > :22:49.to the Treasury, Danny Alexander, has written to the BBC's new boss

:22:49. > :22:53.to draw his attention to today's report. The corporation says it's

:22:53. > :22:56.already reviewing these tax arrangements.

:22:56. > :22:59.This afternoon, the latest jobs figures in America will be

:22:59. > :23:02.published and they'll be closely examined. Unemployment is a big

:23:02. > :23:07.issue in the States ahead of next month's presidential election. It's

:23:07. > :23:10.also a big issue for young Americans. Half of all recent

:23:10. > :23:12.graduates are either unemployed or underemployed. And, as our

:23:12. > :23:21.correspondent Zoe Conway reports from Philedelphia, they're also

:23:22. > :23:29.saddled with more debt than ever. Mack has qualified as a lawyer, so

:23:29. > :23:33.he can now put his law books away and turn his attention to his

:23:33. > :23:36.$170,000 student debt. The whole gravity of it didn't hit me until

:23:36. > :23:42.about a few months ago, when all of a sudden it's like, wait a second,

:23:42. > :23:47.that's not just a number, that's actually representative of

:23:47. > :23:51.something. The debt is not unusual. Americans owe $1 trillion in

:23:51. > :23:56.student loans and they're also struggling to find work. More than

:23:56. > :24:00.half of recent graduates are unemployed or under employed. At

:24:00. > :24:05.Temple University students fear being trapped in low-paid jobs.

:24:05. > :24:11.hope for the best, but I just know from previous experience, my

:24:11. > :24:14.brother graduated from Penn State, he had high grades. He's been

:24:14. > :24:18.searching for jobs and can't find anything. The student vote helped

:24:18. > :24:22.to get President Barack Obama into the White House four years ago.

:24:22. > :24:27.He's still likely to win much of their vote, but gone is the message

:24:27. > :24:32.of hope and change. The American dream has been at the heart of this

:24:32. > :24:37.election, because many people fear that it's under threat. No more so

:24:37. > :24:40.than on campuss like this one, where students worry they'll be

:24:40. > :24:45.worse off than their parents. fearful that basically that I might

:24:45. > :24:48.not get a job, so I might have to be in debt all my life. In a tough

:24:48. > :24:56.economy, university is still seen as a good investment because non-

:24:56. > :25:00.graduates are faring even worse. The Football Association has

:25:00. > :25:03.explained the reasons behind their decision to ban and fine the

:25:03. > :25:07.Chelsea captain John Terry. They said the language he used towards

:25:07. > :25:11.Anton Ferdinand was used as an insult and there was no credible

:25:11. > :25:15.basis for the skipper's defence he was repeating words that he

:25:16. > :25:21.believed the QPR defender had said to him.

:25:21. > :25:26.Fifth of October 1962, that was the day that 007 first burst onto our

:25:26. > :25:30.screens in Dr No. Now 50 years later, James Bond fans are

:25:30. > :25:37.celebrating half a century of that most famous spy gracing the silver

:25:37. > :25:42.screen. Lizo Mzimba is at Pinewood studios where Dr No was made. Yes,

:25:42. > :25:47.thank you very much. Pinewood seen by many as the home of Bond, so

:25:47. > :25:52.many classic scenes filmed here and classic cars part of the appeal too.

:25:52. > :25:56.The rolls rois from Goldfinger. An Aston Martin from Die another Day.

:25:56. > :26:01.The team has celebrating all that's been achieved for 50 years and more

:26:01. > :26:11.than 20 films on Bond's way to becoming a symbol of Britain known

:26:11. > :26:14.

:26:14. > :26:24.and loved the world over. The stars, the stunts, the girls,

:26:24. > :26:24.

:26:24. > :26:27.the gadgets, the quips. He had to fly. The cars. Just a few of the

:26:27. > :26:31.things that have made the Bond series recognised the world over

:26:31. > :26:38.and which has help today maintain its phenomenal popularity for half

:26:39. > :26:45.a century. It was 50 years ago that cinema audiences first heard 007

:26:45. > :26:50.say... Bond, James Bond. Lines delivered to the very first Bond

:26:50. > :26:58.girl Sylvia Trench played by Eunice Gayson. I'd never seen him so

:26:58. > :27:06.nervous as he was that day. So I had to take him into the come sear

:27:06. > :27:09.and -- comissay and have a drink. He came back on set, "My name's

:27:09. > :27:14.Bond, James Bond." Wonderful. Who knew it would be such a success.

:27:14. > :27:19.That's exactly what Bond became, thrilling audiences and delivering

:27:19. > :27:24.huge returns along the way. Box office gold to the tune of more

:27:24. > :27:28.than �3 billion worldwide over 22 movies. As for Bond himself, his

:27:29. > :27:33.enemies have consistently failed to kill him off. Do you expect me to

:27:33. > :27:37.talk? No, Mr Bond, I expect you to die. And the love of his fans has

:27:37. > :27:42.kept him alive at the box office for five decades. In another 50

:27:42. > :27:46.years' time, might the Bond team be raising their glasses to a century

:27:46. > :27:52.of 007? As long as we left it, I leave it in as good a place as when

:27:52. > :27:58.I found it, it's going to be OK. It's an enduring story. Who knows.

:27:58. > :28:01.In some form, I think it will. It's had too big an impact. So much so,

:28:01. > :28:05.this summer Bond even appeared alongside the Queen. Good evening

:28:05. > :28:12.Mr Bond. It was a very special thing to be part of Danny Boyle's

:28:13. > :28:17.Opening Ceremony. Her Majesty was very game. The ultimate accolade

:28:17. > :28:25.underlining the franchise is prestige and its position as a

:28:25. > :28:29.cinema icon, unashamedly and triumphantly British.

:28:29. > :28:32.Well, it's not just here, there are events happening in several

:28:32. > :28:37.countries to commemorate this special anniversary. Also to

:28:37. > :28:42.celebrate the fact that at 50 years old, this film series is now almost

:28:42. > :28:45.half as old as cinema itself. half as old as cinema itself.

:28:45. > :28:48.Let's look at the latest weather now.

:28:48. > :28:51.The weekend is nearly upon us of course. The weather's playing ball.

:28:51. > :28:54.We have good weather on the way, both Saturday and Sunday across

:28:54. > :28:59.most parts of the British Isles. Before we get there, we have a bit

:28:59. > :29:03.of rain to come. Courtesy of this cloud in the south-west. This cloud

:29:03. > :29:07.thickens up to bring outbreaks of rain from the south-west of England

:29:07. > :29:09.across other southern counties as we go through the rest of the this

:29:09. > :29:12.afternoon with more northern areas having the best of the day's

:29:12. > :29:14.sunshine. Having said that, we've still got fairly widespread showers

:29:14. > :29:18.across Northern Ireland. They'll continue through the afternoon, but

:29:18. > :29:21.will be on the light side. The showers moving in across the

:29:21. > :29:25.Highlands and Western Isles they'll be heavy for a time later this

:29:25. > :29:28.afternoon. Most of the rest of Scotland stays dry. Just a few

:29:28. > :29:31.showers into Dumfries & Galloway for a time this afternoon. Showers

:29:31. > :29:34.will continue to affect the North West, particularly around Greater

:29:34. > :29:38.Manchester area for the day. To the east of the Pennines it's dry.

:29:38. > :29:41.Through the Midlands and East Anglia, into cloudy weather. It

:29:41. > :29:44.mostly dry until after dark. Outbreaks of rain spread towards

:29:44. > :29:48.the south-east of England and for the south-west, it's going to be a

:29:48. > :29:52.wet end to the day here. Most of the rain not too heavy until after

:29:52. > :29:55.dark. Some of the rain fringes into southern areas of Wales. But a fair

:29:55. > :29:59.amount of cloud spilling in ahead of that for central and northern

:29:59. > :30:02.parts of the country. Now overnight tonight, the rain is going to get

:30:02. > :30:06.heavier across south-west England. That swings towards the south-east.

:30:07. > :30:10.Could see around an inch of rain falling, 20-30mm or. So the rain

:30:10. > :30:13.pushes into the south-east overnight. Not too cold here thanks

:30:13. > :30:18.to the cloud and rain. Further north with clearer skies, it could

:30:18. > :30:21.be low enough for a touch of frost in rural areas, maybe mist or fog

:30:21. > :30:25.patches as well. Saturday morning starts off with the ain first thing

:30:25. > :30:31.across the south-east. There is a bit of uncertainty how quickly that

:30:31. > :30:35.push as way into the near continent. By the afternoon it's a dry story.

:30:35. > :30:39.Most keep the sunshine from dawn till dusk. There are showers in the

:30:39. > :30:41.far north and west of Scotland. What about the second half of the

:30:41. > :30:45.weekend? Well, high pressure overnight Saturday night will begin

:30:45. > :30:48.to build across the British Isles. With those clearing skies, it turns

:30:48. > :30:52.out to be a cold night. Again a touch of frost. High pressure will

:30:52. > :30:56.keep weather systems at bay for a time. So, what are we looking at

:30:56. > :30:59.Sunday? A fine start to the day with sunshine. Could be fog patches

:31:00. > :31:03.across southern counties. Later in the afternoon, we will see the

:31:03. > :31:09.cloud building in across the south- west threatening outbreaks of rain.

:31:09. > :31:12.It turns wet again overnight. So we're looking pretty good, cold

:31:12. > :31:16.mornings and nights. Sunny spells by day and the risk of rain at

:31:16. > :31:20.times. Flirting with the southern counties of England. Not bad. We'll

:31:20. > :31:24.take the sunshine while we get it. Nex week it's set to turn unsettled

:31:24. > :31:27.again. A reminder of our top story. Mark
