The man accused of killing April Jones weeps in court, as the

:00:09.:00:17.

charges are read to him. BOOING

:00:17.:00:22.

Mark was driven to magistrate's court in Aberystwyth. He's accused

:00:22.:00:28.

of murdering the five-year-old and perverting the course of justice.

:00:28.:00:31.

The search for April continues a week after her disappearance - the

:00:31.:00:33.

number of police officers on the ground doubles.

:00:33.:00:36.

The Chancellor confirms cuts into the Welfare Bill and says he's

:00:36.:00:39.

considering a limit on the number of children that can be supported

:00:39.:00:41.

on benefits. How can we justify giving flats to young people who

:00:42.:00:46.

have never worked when working people twice their age are still

:00:46.:00:49.

living with their parents because they can't afford their first home?

:00:49.:00:52.

The Director-General of the BBC says there will be an examination

:00:52.:00:55.

of allegations of sexual abuse against Sir Jimmy Savile, but only

:00:55.:01:02.

once police work has finished. A teenager has her stomach removed

:01:02.:01:05.

after drinking a cocktail bought in a bar which contained liquid

:01:05.:01:10.

nitrogen. And defacing a multi-million-pound

Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at 1.00pm. The man accused

:01:47.:01:50.

of killing five-year-old April Jones has wept as he appeared in

:01:50.:01:53.

court charged with murder, child abduction and perverting the course

:01:53.:01:59.

of justice. FivMark Bridger cried as the charges were put to him.

:01:59.:02:02.

April was last seen a week ago, police are continuing their search

:02:02.:02:05.

for her - the numbers of officers on the ground doubled today. More

:02:05.:02:08.

on that in a moment, first, our correspondent Jon Brain is outside

:02:08.:02:14.

the court in Aberystwyth now. This time last month, April Jones

:02:14.:02:19.

was safe and happy in a classroom at her school. This morning,

:02:19.:02:24.

specialist search teams have again been looking for the little girl's

:02:24.:02:28.

body. It's been an emotional week for everyone concerned, emotions

:02:28.:02:32.

which were reflected at today's court appearance. Seven days after

:02:32.:02:36.

April Jones went missing, the man accused of being responsible for

:02:36.:02:39.

her disappearance was brought to court.

:02:39.:02:44.

A small but vocal group were waiting to hurl abuse.

:02:44.:02:47.

BOOING In the dock, Mark Bridger looked

:02:47.:02:51.

tearful as the charges were put to him that he'd abducted and murdered

:02:52.:02:58.

April and disposed of and concealed her body with the intention of

:02:58.:03:04.

perverting the course of justice. Idea if he understood, he said yes.

:03:04.:03:09.

His voice faltered. Mark Bridger has now been remanded

:03:09.:03:13.

in custody. His next appearance will be via a video link at

:03:13.:03:18.

Caernarfon Crown Court in two days' time. April was last seen a week

:03:18.:03:22.

ago climbing into a car outside her home. Despite the efforts of

:03:22.:03:26.

hundreds of people, there's been no trace of her since then.

:03:26.:03:31.

Specialist search teams are out in force yet again today still trying

:03:31.:03:35.

to find April and evidence of what may have happened to her.

:03:35.:03:41.

There are a number of search areas that are new to search, but also,

:03:41.:03:47.

we're rechecking, and what these search officers - are very skilled

:03:47.:03:51.

and experienced. They'll do a meticulous and systematic search

:03:51.:03:55.

really to eliminate to as high a possible level as we can that we're

:03:55.:03:58.

not missing anything. Meanwhile, Mark Bridger has been taken to

:03:58.:04:01.

prison in Manchester to await his next court appearance.

:04:01.:04:05.

This is all a heart-wrenching time for April's family, of course. This

:04:05.:04:09.

morning her mother issued an appeal on Facebook asking for people to

:04:09.:04:15.

keep that search going. In it she says, "Please keep looking for my

:04:15.:04:23.

baby girl." Thank you. Jon Brain from

:04:23.:04:25.

Aberystwyth. More than a hundred police officers

:04:25.:04:27.

are involved in the search for April Jones, and detectives say

:04:27.:04:30.

their operation has switched emphasis, with a change in their

:04:30.:04:32.

resources. Rhun Ap Iorwerth is in Machynlleth now.

:04:32.:04:36.

As we were saying, police numbers have increased, but has the focus

:04:36.:04:40.

changed at all? They're still certainly look in and

:04:40.:04:44.

around the Machynlleth area, but the nature of the search has

:04:44.:04:47.

changed I believe stemming, more than anything, from the decision by

:04:47.:04:51.

mountain rescue yesterday to suspend their operations. These are

:04:51.:04:55.

volunteers, of course. They'll be back should there be new

:04:55.:04:58.

intelligence, so the police response about the number of

:04:58.:05:02.

officers they have - a hundred and more officers searching for April,

:05:02.:05:06.

and 17 specialist teams in Machynlleth searching open areas

:05:06.:05:10.

within Machynlleth town itself. We have been up today near the home of

:05:11.:05:16.

Mark Bridger, but still, the River Dyfi remains a focus. We have seen

:05:16.:05:20.

marine units using specialist eight-wheel-drive vehicles to take

:05:20.:05:25.

supplies up to specialist officers working just upstream from where I

:05:25.:05:31.

am here, rope access, looking in gullies, in creeks. This is a very

:05:31.:05:37.

difficult river to search, plus of course the many tributaryrys to

:05:37.:05:41.

this river. The picture has changed. I'd have been waist deep in fast-

:05:41.:05:46.

flowing river a few days ago. Now the water level has receded. As the

:05:46.:05:49.

picture changes with the river, so the police have to again search

:05:49.:05:52.

over and over places they have already searched within the past

:05:52.:05:56.

week, so still a very wide area, and the police insisting that the

:05:56.:06:00.

momentum will be maintained. At the same time, we still have a

:06:00.:06:03.

community here that is devastated by what's happened over the past

:06:03.:06:08.

week, and tonight at around 7.30pm, we believe, the family has asked

:06:08.:06:12.

that balloons be released to the sky above Machynlleth as they

:06:12.:06:17.

continue to think of April. Thank you.

:06:17.:06:19.

The Chancellor George Osborne has confirmed he's considering whether

:06:19.:06:23.

there should be a limit on the number of children in a family that

:06:23.:06:25.

can be supported on benefits. He's just told the Conservative Party

:06:25.:06:28.

Conference in Birmingham that he intends to cut a further �10

:06:28.:06:31.

billion from the welfare budget and a system that encouraged families

:06:31.:06:34.

to live a life on benefit had to be tackled. He said the Government

:06:34.:06:37.

wouldn't budge from its plans to cut the deficit, but that it

:06:37.:06:40.

couldn't be done only the "wallets of the rich". From Birmingham, our

:06:40.:06:46.

political correspondent Carole Walker reports.

:06:46.:06:50.

George Osborne insisted there was no question of taking apart his

:06:50.:06:54.

economic strategy. On a visit to Birmingham University, he announced

:06:54.:06:59.

some extra funding for research. This is incredibly difficult...

:06:59.:07:04.

his overall message was a tough one - �10 billion of welfare cuts by

:07:04.:07:08.

the first full year of the next Parliament. In his conference

:07:08.:07:11.

speech, the Chancellor acknowledged it was taking longer than he'd

:07:11.:07:16.

hoped to pay off the deficit, but with the Prime Minister lending

:07:16.:07:20.

visible support, he declared he would finish the job of repairing

:07:20.:07:24.

the economy. Today in the face of the great economic challenges of

:07:24.:07:30.

our age, we here resolve - we will press on. We shall overcome.

:07:30.:07:32.

APPLAUSE He repeated his mantra, "We're all

:07:33.:07:36.

in it together" and insisted those with the most money should

:07:36.:07:39.

contribute the most, but he defended his decision to cut the

:07:39.:07:44.

top rate of tax. It is a completely phoney

:07:44.:07:50.

conception of fairs than you stick with a tax rate you know raises no

:07:50.:07:55.

money that you know drives away jobs and investment, that you know

:07:55.:07:59.

weakens the economy just to say you've kicked the rich. Mr Osborne

:08:00.:08:03.

said what he called the most radical reform on welfare for

:08:03.:08:06.

generations wasn't just about saving money. It was about fairness

:08:06.:08:10.

and enterprise, making sure it pays to go to work. How can we justify a

:08:10.:08:15.

system where people in work have to consider the full financial costs

:08:15.:08:20.

of having another child while those out of work don't?

:08:20.:08:26.

APPLAUSE But any future limit on benefits to

:08:26.:08:28.

children would be highly controversial. Turning around to a

:08:28.:08:33.

group of children and saying, "Look, your parents made the wrong

:08:33.:08:36.

decision. You shouldn't have been born" I think is really dangerous.

:08:36.:08:40.

Those children will be with us, and we've got to as a society say,

:08:40.:08:44.

actually, we owe these children an obligation morally but also on an

:08:44.:08:49.

economic level, because, as I say, they're our future workforce.

:08:49.:08:54.

tough message on welfare was always going to go down well at Tories at

:08:54.:08:57.

their conference. Ministers believe it will resonate with voters too,

:08:57.:09:01.

but what about the Lib Dems? The coalition partners accept there

:09:01.:09:05.

will have to be more cuts to benefits but on this scale? Nothing

:09:05.:09:10.

has been agreed in detail to cuts and saves to welfare. The

:09:10.:09:13.

Conservatives are perfectly entitled to set up their stall as

:09:13.:09:17.

to what we do as a country. We have to tighten our belts further, as we

:09:17.:09:21.

indeed were at our party conference. The Chancellor said any wavering

:09:21.:09:26.

from the hard choices would risk Britain's economic credibility. He

:09:26.:09:30.

said he would not gamble with the nation's future.

:09:30.:09:34.

Let's talk now to our political correspondent Norman Smith who

:09:34.:09:37.

joins us from Birmingham too. We were hearing George Osborne saying

:09:37.:09:40.

a radical reform of the welfare budget was needed, a tough message.

:09:40.:09:46.

Why such a tough, blunt message from him today? Well, the

:09:46.:09:49.

calculation is that by levelling with the British people, by being

:09:49.:09:53.

straight with voters about the scale of economic pain we've still

:09:53.:09:58.

got to get through - another �10 billion of benefit cuts, Mr Osborne

:09:58.:10:02.

will at least win plaudits for candour, but there is another

:10:02.:10:07.

calculation, and that is among so- called striving classes, benefit

:10:07.:10:11.

curves actually plays rather well. Again and again we heard from the

:10:11.:10:15.

Chancellor but also other Ministers talking about people who have to

:10:15.:10:18.

get up early in the morning, feed the dogs, get out to work, get on

:10:18.:10:22.

the commuter train - how they resent it and look over their

:10:22.:10:25.

shoulder at their neighbour's house where they may be on benefits and

:10:25.:10:29.

they're still lying in bed asleep, so the view is benefit curves are

:10:29.:10:34.

an economic necessity, but politically, they also play well

:10:34.:10:39.

with the aggrieved, squeezed middle. Yes. Now, Boris Johnson, the Mayor

:10:39.:10:43.

of London, at a conference today - he speaks to the conference

:10:43.:10:49.

tomorrow. What are people there saying about his appearance? Well,

:10:49.:10:52.

it's interesting. David Cameron refers to Boris Johnson publicly as

:10:52.:10:57.

a "blond-haired mop". In private, I suspect he's grinding his teeth and

:10:57.:11:02.

clenching his teeth at the mere mention of Boris's name. Why?

:11:02.:11:06.

Because Boris Johnson seems to delight wandering around hurling

:11:06.:11:12.

turnips at the direction of the Prime Minister over Heathrow. Many

:11:12.:11:19.

more people here view Boris Johnson with affection and maybe affection

:11:19.:11:24.

and of course he's going to sound testy at the mention of this Tory

:11:24.:11:28.

Prince, but at the moment, my sense is despite that Boris Johnson is

:11:28.:11:33.

not yet a threat to the Prime Minister. Norman, thank you. Norman

:11:33.:11:35.

Smith joining us from Birmingham. The Director-General of the BBC,

:11:35.:11:37.

George Entwistle, says the corporation will examine

:11:37.:11:40.

allegations of sexual abuse made against Sir Jimmy Savile once

:11:40.:11:42.

police have finished their investigation. There have been

:11:42.:11:44.

calls for an independent inquiry into claims BBC staff knew about

:11:44.:11:47.

suggestions the presenter was abusing young girls, but failed to

:11:47.:11:57.
:11:57.:11:57.

act. David Silitto reports. The allegation against Jimmy Savile

:11:57.:12:02.

have mounted, and now a week on, the BBC today said sorry to the

:12:02.:12:04.

women involved. I would like to apologise on behalf of the

:12:04.:12:08.

organisation to each and every one of them for what they have had to

:12:08.:12:12.

endure here. The police are leading inquiries but the Direct Line of

:12:12.:12:16.

the BBC told radio Four's Today programme that the corporation at

:12:16.:12:19.

the right moment would carry out its own investigations. When the

:12:19.:12:23.

police have finished everything they have to do and have given us

:12:23.:12:28.

an assurance there is no way of us compromising or contaminating the

:12:28.:12:32.

investigation, I'll take it further and make sure any outstanding

:12:32.:12:36.

questions are answered. And there is growing pressure. Everyone has

:12:36.:12:40.

to ask themselves the question is there new evidence that needs to be

:12:40.:12:44.

looked at? Are there new things as an organisation we should examine?

:12:44.:12:48.

But from what I have read, and that's just a consumer of the media,

:12:48.:12:52.

as it were, truly shocking things have been said. So BBC has

:12:52.:12:56.

apologised, but what exactly are they apologising for? And this is

:12:56.:13:00.

beginning to go wider than just the Jimmy Savile case. A number of

:13:00.:13:05.

female TV presenters spoke up over the weekend about a number of

:13:05.:13:09.

incidents and the wider sexual culture this broadcasts at the time.

:13:09.:13:12.

This goes much wider than criminality. This goes to a culture

:13:12.:13:15.

that seemingly existed, and this is said by people who were in that

:13:15.:13:20.

environment at the time, a culture that existed. It was a pretty

:13:20.:13:24.

rotten culture that allowed young girls to be molested and worse.

:13:24.:13:29.

The star's reputation as a lovable, if eccentric, charity fundraiser

:13:29.:13:32.

has been treaded. The Jimmy Savile Charitable Trust today confirmed

:13:32.:13:36.

it's considering dropping his name. I think we get the idea, you know,

:13:36.:13:43.

that whatever has happened, there's something very unpleasant that's

:13:43.:13:47.

been going on, so therefore the Jimmy Savile name is going to be

:13:47.:13:53.

very difficult to - for people to think of in a good light. Others

:13:53.:13:56.

have spoken out about his knighthood, so now a police

:13:56.:14:00.

investigation and a BBC apology to the women who, for years, felt

:14:00.:14:08.

unable to speak out about one of Britain's biggest stars.

:14:08.:14:10.

A teenager has had her stomach removed after drinking a cocktail

:14:10.:14:17.

containing liquid nitrogen. The 18- year-old complained of severe pain

:14:17.:14:20.

and breathlessness after having the drink during a night out in

:14:20.:14:22.

Lancaster. The bar which sold the cocktail has stopped using liquid

:14:22.:14:25.

nitrogen, which creates a smoky dry ice effect. Danny Savage is outside

:14:25.:14:30.

the Lancaster bar. What's being said there about what

:14:30.:14:35.

happened to this girl? Well, this goes back to last Thursday evening,

:14:35.:14:39.

and Gabby Scanland, the 18-year-old who is now in hospital with serious

:14:39.:14:43.

injuries, was out celebrating her 18th birthday here in the City. She

:14:43.:14:48.

came here behind me to Oscar's wine bar, and while she was here, she

:14:48.:14:52.

had a cocktail that was prepared using liquid nitrogen. She had that

:14:53.:14:56.

drink, and later on in the evening, she had - began feeling unwell. She

:14:56.:15:00.

had a severe reaction to it. She collapsed. She was taken to

:15:00.:15:03.

hospital, and she had to have emergency surgery to remove her

:15:03.:15:07.

stomach. Police say they have been told by medics that if she hadn't

:15:07.:15:11.

had that operation, she probably would have died. Liquid nitrogen is

:15:11.:15:15.

obviously not meant to be ingested, but it is made as a sort of trendy

:15:15.:15:19.

drink at the moment to make cocktails look as though they're

:15:19.:15:23.

smoking. It appears she's had some very severe reaction to what

:15:23.:15:25.

happened. The bar say they're cooperating fully, and they've now

:15:25.:15:30.

stopped selling that sort of dink. Meanwhile, what of the victim

:15:30.:15:33.

herself? What's her condition? Do we know? She's in a serious but

:15:33.:15:38.

stable condition at the moment. Her school have released a statement

:15:38.:15:41.

saying she's one of the most hardworking, mature sthunts had

:15:41.:15:45.

simply gone out to celebrate her birthday. Our whole community is

:15:45.:15:51.

shocked by what happened. They say, "We're pleased to hear that she's

:15:51.:15:54.

making better-than-expected progress." But she's obviously had

:15:54.:15:59.

a very serious operation and a serious reaction. Her friends are

:15:59.:16:02.

thinking a great deal of her for the moment. They're worried, but

:16:02.:16:06.

she should make a recoverry, we understand, but it is something

:16:06.:16:16.
:16:16.:16:16.

that'll change her life forever Chelsea and England left back

:16:16.:16:20.

Ashley Cole has been charged by the FA in relation to a Twitter comment,

:16:20.:16:27.

which it said was improper or brought the game into disrepute. He

:16:27.:16:36.

reacted angrily after a commission passed doubt. High-profile backers

:16:36.:16:40.

of Julian Assange, who together put up a large sum in security money

:16:40.:16:46.

have been ordered to pay more than �0,000 by Westminster Magistrates'

:16:46.:16:50.

Court. They gave -- �90,000 by Westminster Magistrates' Court.

:16:50.:16:54.

They give him backing in June. He is trying to avoid extradition to

:16:54.:17:00.

Sweden, where he faces allegations of sexual assault. 79 women are to

:17:00.:17:03.

be offered extra screening after they were given the wrong results

:17:03.:17:12.

for their breast cancer tests. An urgent inspection is under way,

:17:12.:17:17.

after the tests carried out on the patients at Sherwood Forest

:17:17.:17:23.

Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. What happened?. Well, all the women

:17:23.:17:28.

were seen here and they were all undergoing a test to decide which

:17:28.:17:33.

treatment is best for them, following best cancer. There were

:17:33.:17:38.

problems in the laboratory with this test, which I am told is a

:17:38.:17:41.

very complicated test, involving a lot of processes. What went wrong

:17:41.:17:46.

has not been identified yet. It is known 120 women were given the

:17:46.:17:52.

wrong results. That is between the years 2004-2010. What's more, we

:17:52.:17:57.

are told it may have contributed to the deaths of some patients, the

:17:57.:18:00.

experts reckon between one and three patients may have died as a

:18:00.:18:04.

result of this mistake. What is happening now is all the patients

:18:04.:18:07.

affected are being contacted and their families, to recall them,

:18:07.:18:10.

where necessary, and to try and explain in the cases where the

:18:10.:18:15.

women have died, what role this played in their death, if any. Tell

:18:15.:18:19.

us more about Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

:18:19.:18:23.

It's not been the best day for the trust. Not only has this problem

:18:23.:18:29.

come to light, but there are also huge problems repaying the Private

:18:29.:18:31.

Finance Initiative deal - that's the money spent building this

:18:31.:18:35.

hospital behind me. It is cost over �300 million. Private companies put

:18:35.:18:41.

up the money and the NHS is paying back over many years. The Trust is

:18:41.:18:46.

struggling to make the payments. It may run out of money in January and

:18:46.:18:52.

it is posstbl Government may have to step in with a loan to bail the

written to. Thank you. The UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-

:19:03.:19:07.

Moon, has expressed deep concern about the escalating attacks

:19:07.:19:10.

between Syria and Turkey. Mr Ban said the continuing shelling and

:19:10.:19:14.

artillery fire in the border region was extremely dangerous and he

:19:14.:19:18.

called for action to stop the flow of arms to Syria. Our correspondent

:19:19.:19:23.

reports now from the Turkish-Syrian border.

:19:23.:19:28.

Turkish soldiers have a perfect view of Syria. The Arab country is

:19:28.:19:34.

right next door. It's 19-month long conflict has now begun to cross the

:19:34.:19:39.

border. This is what happened yesterday

:19:39.:19:45.

afternoon in the border town of abgabg - a single mortar round from

:19:45.:19:49.

Syria landed in a field inside Turkish territory. No-one was

:19:49.:19:56.

injured, but Turkey responded by firing artillery across the border.

:19:57.:20:01.

This morning, this primary school stayed shut in case of further

:20:01.:20:05.

shelling. "Everybody is afraid. The children do not understand. The

:20:05.:20:11.

schools are closed and the children are home."

:20:11.:20:17.

The tea-drinkers just across the street decided to take a few more

:20:17.:20:20.

risks. TRANSLATION: War is blood and destruction. I am concerned,

:20:20.:20:26.

but I am against war. Everybody should be. Down the road, Turkey's

:20:26.:20:31.

forces keep their eyes on their neighbour. Turkey wants to defend

:20:31.:20:36.

its territory. At the same time, it doesn't want to get dragged into

:20:36.:20:40.

fighting a war. The Government says it does not want Syria to become

:20:40.:20:50.
:20:50.:20:56.

Now, a look at the time: It is 1.20pm. Mark Bridger t man accused

:20:56.:21:00.

of killing April Jones, appeared in court charged with murder and

dancers given a chance to make it A mural by Mark Rothko, one of the

:21:35.:21:40.

most famous artists of the 20th century has been defaced at the

:21:40.:21:43.

Tate Modern A Russian man walked up to the artwork and daubed wit black

:21:43.:21:48.

paint, saying he was doing it as part of a movement called

:21:48.:21:55.

"yellowism." The gallery said it did not have a price for the piece,

:21:55.:21:58.

but paintings by Rothko often fetch tens of millions of pounds. It is

:21:58.:22:06.

called Black on Maroon - a work of art by one of America's most famous

:22:06.:22:12.

post war painters. Now it has been defaced and a message of

:22:12.:22:18.

"yellowism." It is part of an exhibition of work by Mark Rothko.

:22:18.:22:23.

Yesterday, visiters ot the Tate Modern were left stunned when the

:22:23.:22:29.

painting was defaced. The question now is, can it be repaired? There

:22:29.:22:32.

is a fantastic team who are knowledgeable. They have got to the

:22:32.:22:37.

paint quickly. I think there's every hope that it will be cleaned

:22:37.:22:40.

without any... Well, it is difficult to clean off, but it will

:22:40.:22:46.

be cleaned off and the painting will be back to how it used to be.

:22:46.:22:49.

The yellowism website attempts to explain the philosophy. He insists

:22:49.:22:54.

he was not trying to damage the painting and that he's not a vandal.

:22:54.:23:00.

I would like this picture to be presented in the context of

:23:00.:23:06.

yellowism and consider it to be about yellow colour only. Rothko's

:23:06.:23:10.

paintings sell for many millions at auction. It is not clear how the

:23:10.:23:16.

value of Black on Maroon will be affected by the stain of yellowism.

:23:16.:23:21.

Let's hear now from our arts editor, who joins us from the Tate Modern

:23:21.:23:26.

in London. This man said he's not a vandal. Give us a further idea of

:23:27.:23:31.

his reasons behind this? He's describing it as an act of pure

:23:31.:23:37.

expression. He is citing the father of conacceptualal art as hirz

:23:37.:23:46.

inspiration. -- his inspiration. He picked off a

:23:46.:23:53.

urinal and put it on the wall. The big difference is that those

:23:53.:23:57.

artists have either defaced works of art they already owned, had

:23:57.:24:01.

permission to deface, or were cheap throw aways, like a postcard. They

:24:01.:24:05.

did not walk up to a work of art, in a gallery, which is being looked

:24:05.:24:09.

at by other people and start drawing on it. That is not a work

:24:09.:24:14.

of art, that is an act of vandalism. We heard the Tate saying they can

:24:14.:24:19.

repair it. No doubt it is extremely embarrassing? Embarrassing,

:24:19.:24:23.

annoying, upsetting. The way these galleries work, not just in Britain

:24:23.:24:28.

but across the world, is on a basis of trust, that you can go up and

:24:28.:24:32.

look at these artworks, you can go up and put your nose up against

:24:32.:24:39.

them. They are not shut off against panes of glass. This act breaks

:24:39.:24:43.

that trust. It is like on football pitches, there are no longer fences

:24:43.:24:46.

keeping fans from the pitch. The fans do not go on the pitch,

:24:46.:24:50.

because they understand that is the deal. The deal is the same for

:24:50.:24:54.

people who visit art galleries. You don't touch or ruin the exhibits.

:24:54.:24:59.

If you don't do that you get great access to them. Yes, this is

:24:59.:25:03.

embarrassing. What can you do? Five million people come to this place

:25:03.:25:07.

every single year. They cannot watch every single one of them. I

:25:07.:25:11.

am told that this single incident will mean they will change their

:25:11.:25:20.

policy of letting people see the art up close. Thank you. This

year's Nobel Prize for Medicine has been won by the British scientist

:25:24.:25:30.

Sir John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka of Japan for their ground-breaking

:25:30.:25:34.

work on stem cells. It showed mature cells could be reprogrammed

:25:34.:25:38.

to undertake new functions. This should revolutionise the

:25:38.:25:46.

understanding of how cells and/or begannisms develop. The Venezuelan

:25:46.:25:51.

President, Hugo Chavez has won a fourth term in office. He finished

:25:51.:25:55.

ten points ahead of Henrique Capriles. He said Venezuela could

:25:55.:25:58.

continue its march towards socialism, but also promised to be

:25:59.:26:05.

a better President. This had been billed as a tight

:26:05.:26:10.

race, but in the end the results came quickly after the final

:26:10.:26:17.

polling stations had closed it gave Mr Chavez a clear ten-point lead.

:26:17.:26:22.

TRANSLATION: To those who promote hate, to those who promote social

:26:22.:26:27.

poison, to those who are always trying to deny all the good things

:26:27.:26:33.

that happen in Venezuela - I invite them to dialogue, to debate and to

:26:33.:26:42.

work together for Venezuela. His followers were jubilant. Chavez

:26:42.:26:49.

has won because he's given free education to all. He has given free

have the best President in the world. We all love him. The women

:26:57.:27:06.

love him and we're going forward and we're growing with him.

:27:06.:27:11.

Street parties like this one broke out almost as soon as results were

:27:11.:27:17.

announced. Just as the politics is polarised, so as some people are

:27:17.:27:21.

celebrating tonight, others will be commiserating. The opposition

:27:21.:27:25.

candidate, Henrique Capriles, standing for a coalition of parties,

:27:25.:27:29.

conceded defeat. With his promises to maintain social programmes, but

:27:29.:27:33.

also encourage private business, he had managed to mount a serious

:27:33.:27:37.

challenge for the presidency, but in the end it does not enough.

:27:37.:27:41.

-- it was not enough. Mr Chavez was treated for cancer earlier this

:27:41.:27:46.

year and many will be watching the state of his health closely as he

:27:46.:27:50.

begins another six-year term of office. For now, his supporters are

:27:50.:27:58.

thinking only of celebrating. One of Britain's Paralympic stars

:27:58.:28:03.

has been taken an open-top bus tour of her home town. Crowds have

turned out to welcome the swimmer Ellie Simmonds back to Walsall. Our

:28:09.:28:14.

correspondent is there for us now. Good afternoon. They turned out in

:28:14.:28:21.

force to welcome home their paraoimian golden -- their

:28:21.:28:26.

Paralympian golden girl, Ellie Simmonds. How does it feel to be

:28:26.:28:30.

back here? Amazing. Going to my postbox and then to my old school

:28:30.:28:35.

and to open a pool they have opened after me and to come here to

:28:35.:28:39.

Walsall, it is good. I am looking forward to chatting to all the kids.

:28:39.:28:44.

It is really good. You are only 17. How does this make you feel? Really

:28:44.:28:50.

good. Amazing. The support I've had during the Games, it has been good.

:28:50.:28:54.

You opened a school swimming pool today? It is a pool I used to swim

:28:54.:28:59.

in. It is from when I used to go to primary school, they named the pool

:28:59.:29:03.

after me, called Ellie Simmonds. It is really good. That pool, perhaps

:29:03.:29:08.

one of the legacies of the summer of Olympic and Paralympic glory.

:29:08.:29:13.

Thank you and congratulations to Ellie Simmonds too. Let's get a

:29:13.:29:16.

Ellie Simmonds too. Let's get a look at the weather. Cloudy

:29:16.:29:21.

conditions, bits and pieces of rain around. You are not alone, I have

:29:21.:29:31.
:29:31.:29:33.

to say. Those situations across the You will notice there, southern

:29:33.:29:37.

Scotland and north of England and Northern Ireland too, a good deal

:29:37.:29:41.

finer and drier. There are some decent gaps in that cloud. The same

:29:41.:29:46.

cannot be said further south. I am hopeful over towards the western

:29:46.:29:49.

side of Wales some brightness there. We improve our chances up towards

:29:49.:29:53.

Northern Ireland and across a good part of Scotland. Of course you

:29:53.:29:59.

have that band of cloud to contend with. The showers and few between.

:29:59.:30:04.

You will notice north of there a bracing feel to the day. Lovely for

:30:04.:30:09.

the in order of England. Once we sink further south, a complete veil

:30:09.:30:16.

of cloud is yours to be had. Rain across parts of the south-east.

:30:16.:30:20.

Come down towards the far south- west, yes a lot of cloud here, but

:30:20.:30:27.

a different feel to the afternoon - 11-12 Celsius, but towards towards

:30:27.:30:31.

the south-west, 15-16 Celsius could be yours this afternoon. Overnight,

:30:32.:30:37.

we thicken up the cloud across the far south-west. There'll be more

:30:37.:30:42.

coherent rain pushing in, which stays on the mild side further

:30:42.:30:48.

north. Notice how the cities dip away. In the countryside there'll

:30:48.:30:53.

be a frost for sheltered Scotland there. Down to minus four Celsius.

:30:53.:31:03.
:31:03.:31:07.

We have to thank the high pressure You can see the migration of that

:31:07.:31:11.

rain - some moderate bursts here for Wales and the south-west and

:31:11.:31:14.

creeping further north. Further north again, across Scotland and

:31:14.:31:18.

the north of England there, a little bit of fog to contend with.

:31:18.:31:22.

Once we get going, again, plenty of sunshine around. On Wednesday

:31:22.:31:27.

something of a north and east, south and west split, with the best

:31:27.:31:33.

of the sunshine towards the north and east. Cloud pushing in towards

:31:33.:31:43.
:31:43.:31:47.

By Thursday, I think we will talk about something much wetter for all.
