:00:05. > :00:12.Into the final straight - it's the last day of campaigning in the race

:00:12. > :00:15.for the White House. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are criss-crossing

:00:15. > :00:18.the country in a last-ditch bid for votes in an election that's too

:00:18. > :00:23.close to call. We'll be reporting from Florida - one of the crucial

:00:23. > :00:26.swing states, that both men are fighting hard to win. I'm in

:00:26. > :00:35.Washington, where I'll have the latest on the final 24 hours of

:00:35. > :00:40.campaigning. Businesses are urged to pay at least a pound more an

:00:40. > :00:42.hour than the minimum wage - in a bid to lift those on low pay out of

:00:42. > :00:45.poverty. Forced to destroy 50,000 ash trees because of fungal disease

:00:45. > :00:49.- this nursery is threatening to sue the government for failing to

:00:49. > :00:57.block imports sooner. And a second Forth bridge - Scotland's biggest

:00:57. > :01:00.construction project in decades On BBC London, hundreds of homeless

:01:00. > :01:03.children in the capital have no paperwork to show they exist - we

:01:03. > :01:13.have an exclusive report. And low morale at Scotland Yard - a staff

:01:13. > :01:23.

:01:23. > :01:27.survey finds only a fifth have Good afternoon and welcome to the

:01:27. > :01:31.BBC News at One. With just one more day to go until the US presidential

:01:31. > :01:33.election, the final push for votes has begun. Barack Obama and Mitt

:01:33. > :01:37.Romney have been campaigning in the so-called swing states with appeals

:01:37. > :01:39.for the faithful to turn out. Their tour of key battle grounds

:01:39. > :01:44.continues today, before the candidates return to their home

:01:44. > :01:54.states tonight, ready for election day. My colleague Jane Hill is in

:01:54. > :01:56.

:01:56. > :01:59.Washington - Jane... Yes, hello and good morning, as it is in

:01:59. > :02:03.Washington DC, with the dollar's waking up to its final full day of

:02:03. > :02:09.campaigning. There are quite a few states Wiltshire will be getting a

:02:09. > :02:14.visit in the next 24 hours from either President Obama, or his

:02:14. > :02:19.Republican challenger. The latest on all of this crucial final

:02:19. > :02:25.campaigning now from Emily Buchanan. They are neck-and-neck, and this is

:02:25. > :02:31.the final sprint. Both candidates have been wooing voters in the key

:02:32. > :02:37.state of Ohio. Sold at legend Stevie wonder lent his voice to

:02:37. > :02:41.Barack Obama. The President needs it, and the strain on his own vocal

:02:41. > :02:45.cords are beginning to show. This is not just a choice between two

:02:45. > :02:55.candidates or parties, it is between two different visions of

:02:55. > :03:01.America. It is a choice between and return to the top down policies or

:03:01. > :03:05.the strong, growing, middle class based policies which are getting us

:03:05. > :03:10.out of a crisis. With millions of voters still undecided, the

:03:10. > :03:15.President is do spread to appeal to the middle ground, and every second

:03:15. > :03:20.counts now to get his message across. He lost several minutes

:03:21. > :03:26.after an anti-abortion campaigner shouted from the balcony. The crowd

:03:26. > :03:31.booed as he had to be prised away. Hours earlier, Mitt Romney was in

:03:31. > :03:40.Cleveland, Ohio, a Democrat stronghold. He was aware that every

:03:40. > :03:47.vote counts, with him narrowly trailing Obama. Talk is cheap, but

:03:47. > :03:52.a record is real and it is burdened with a real effort. Change is not

:03:52. > :03:59.measured in words and speeches, it is measured and achievements. So,

:03:59. > :04:02.let's look at that record. The election can be won or lost in Ohio,

:04:02. > :04:06.one of nine battleground states where voters have traditionally

:04:06. > :04:12.determined who will become President. Another key stake is

:04:12. > :04:19.Nevada. Here in Las Vegas, there are some real political issues.

:04:19. > :04:23.Both sides say they have answers to the economic hardship. Nevada

:04:23. > :04:28.continues to be a battleground state. I am confident that we are

:04:28. > :04:31.going to deliver to President Obama, but we will not take anything for

:04:31. > :04:36.granted. We are excited that we think we're going to win on

:04:36. > :04:42.election day. As the candidates zig-zagged frenetically across the

:04:42. > :04:45.country, it looks as if that was sold will be tight. Many predict

:04:45. > :04:55.heating arguments over access to polling stations and vote counting

:04:55. > :04:59.already. It really is all about those key swing states. They are

:04:59. > :05:03.the ones to watch, if you will be staying up for the overnight

:05:03. > :05:10.election coverage. We can go to one of those key states now, Florida,

:05:10. > :05:16.to join Jon Sopel. He is in Tampa. Yes, in terms of electoral

:05:16. > :05:21.significance, no state is more important than Florida, with 29

:05:21. > :05:26.votes in the electoral college. Here in Florida, four million

:05:26. > :05:30.people have already voted. In Hillsborough County, 41% of people

:05:30. > :05:35.have turned out to vote. But the queues were long and not everybody

:05:35. > :05:42.managed to get their vote done on time on Saturday, which has led to

:05:42. > :05:46.an argument, which has led in turn to lawyers, as we found out.

:05:46. > :05:51.Saturday in Tampa, Florida, and this is not a cue for the shops,

:05:51. > :05:56.these people are lining up to vote. So popular has early voting proved,

:05:56. > :06:00.that democrats wanted it to be extended into Sunday and today. The

:06:00. > :06:05.Republican governor said no, and so, with echoes of 12 years ago, when

:06:05. > :06:11.the entire election was decided on disputed ballots from here, the

:06:11. > :06:15.lawyers are wading in. It just kills me, as an American, to see

:06:15. > :06:20.anyone trying to prevent something like this. It is maybe the most

:06:20. > :06:26.important thing which makes America great. The thinking is that early

:06:26. > :06:33.voting favours the Democrats, low, or workers, in poor areas, who will

:06:33. > :06:41.not be able to find time, so the argument goes. This Democrat party

:06:41. > :06:50.worker just braise for a clear cut, lawyer free result. We have had

:06:50. > :06:54.that before. We do not need any more of that. But in knife-edge

:06:54. > :07:04.Hillsborough County, in a knife- edge stay, clear cut seems the

:07:04. > :07:08.

:07:08. > :07:12.least likely outcome. -- state. A think for myself, a chimpanzee

:07:12. > :07:17.could predict the outcome with the same degree of accuracy. It is down

:07:17. > :07:22.to the margin of error. And so, the pre-election poster battle is

:07:22. > :07:29.getting dirty. But who's to say that pose to election legal scrap

:07:29. > :07:34.will not be every bit as rough? the post-election legal scrap. Mitt

:07:34. > :07:38.Romney arrives here later today. Barack Obama was here later. -- was

:07:38. > :07:43.here yesterday. Two polls were published yesterday, each selling

:07:43. > :07:47.different results. What will -- what we will not know for certain

:07:47. > :07:57.is who has one until tomorrow night, and even then, it is not 100%

:07:57. > :08:02.

:08:02. > :08:08.guaranteed. Back to you. Thank you very much, Jon Sopel in Tampa. What

:08:08. > :08:13.is absolutely vital is simply, as the Americans call it, getting out

:08:13. > :08:16.the vote. We know that the Obama has a very sophisticated campaign,

:08:16. > :08:22.a sophisticated way of encouraging people to vote, helping them to

:08:22. > :08:26.vote, and we saw that in 2008. But the team of Mitt Romney says it has

:08:26. > :08:30.the enthusiasm. Much more about the American election on the BBC News

:08:30. > :08:34.website. For now, back to London. Businesses are being urged to pay

:08:34. > :08:38.employees at least a pound more an hour than the minimum wage - in a

:08:38. > :08:41.bid to lift those on low pay out of poverty. The living wage is a

:08:41. > :08:43.voluntary scheme that employers can sign up to and it's intended to

:08:43. > :08:46.provide an adequate standard of living for low-paid people.

:08:46. > :08:55.But unlike the national minimum wage, it is not compulsory. Our

:08:55. > :09:00.political correspondent Ross Hawkins has the details.

:09:00. > :09:05.Politicians are explaining why the worst off employees deserve an

:09:05. > :09:09.increase. It is also about giving them, from employers that can

:09:09. > :09:14.afford it, extra cash to help the wheels of the economy turn, to give

:09:14. > :09:20.them some more spending power, to help consumption in the city.

:09:20. > :09:23.makes economic sense. So, people who work for the mayor will earn

:09:23. > :09:27.more, as will Terry Marsh, a cleaning worker on a housing estate

:09:27. > :09:35.in London, whose employer has also signed up to what is called the

:09:36. > :09:39.living wage. It has allowed me a bit of dignity, with my children,

:09:39. > :09:43.who can now go from plimsolls to it pair of trainers. I can afford to

:09:43. > :09:48.pay for their school dinners. It gives you back your pride and joy

:09:48. > :09:54.dignity. In the 1990s, Labour introduced a minimum wage, making

:09:54. > :09:58.it illegal for any company to pay less. It now stands at �6.99 per

:09:58. > :10:08.hour, for over-21s. But campaigners have been pushing for more, what

:10:08. > :10:11.

:10:11. > :10:15.they call the living wage. -- �6.19. Among those guaranteeing that

:10:15. > :10:21.voluntary, higher rate are the Scottish Government and 19 Labour

:10:21. > :10:24.councils. We are looking for more companies, more local authorities

:10:24. > :10:28.and government departments, to pay their staff enough to be able to

:10:28. > :10:32.live with a decent quality of life for themselves and their families.

:10:32. > :10:36.Labour is considering how to persuade more companies to sign up,

:10:36. > :10:43.by naming and shaming those that do not, or by giving tax breaks to

:10:43. > :10:53.those that do. The idea is that if employers pay more, then the

:10:53. > :10:56.

:10:56. > :11:00.government will not have to top the about up. Where the politicians are

:11:00. > :11:02.asking companies to give more, this could bring real change. The

:11:02. > :11:05.Government is investigating claims of sexual abuse allegedly committed

:11:05. > :11:08.by a Conservative MP during the Thatcher era. It is thought the

:11:08. > :11:16.allegations relate to the abuse of children at care homes in North

:11:16. > :11:19.Wales during the '70s and '80s. The First Minister of Wales and said

:11:19. > :11:22.this morning he would meet the Children's Commissioner tomorrow to

:11:22. > :11:27.discuss the matter. Our political correspondent Norman Smith is at

:11:27. > :11:30.Westminster - what will happen now? Downing Street says the Prime

:11:30. > :11:35.Minister views these allegations extremely seriously, and has taken

:11:35. > :11:39.a close personal interest in them. He is adamant that its needs to be

:11:39. > :11:43.investigated properly. He has ordered civil servants from the

:11:43. > :11:47.Wales Office and the Home Office, amongst others, to go through the

:11:47. > :11:50.paperwork from the 1970s, to see whether there is anything which

:11:50. > :11:53.substantiates these claims, to decide whether they should be

:11:53. > :11:57.passed on to the police. More than that, the Prime Minister is also

:11:57. > :12:01.ordering officials to look at the initial investigations by the

:12:01. > :12:04.police and by the judge-led inquiry, to examine whether the police

:12:04. > :12:09.responded with sufficient rigour to the original claims, and whether

:12:09. > :12:13.that inquiry got to the truth. And he is suggesting, the Prime

:12:13. > :12:22.Minister, that if there are flaws in those initial investigations,

:12:22. > :12:26.then he may order an independent Experts are warning it may be too

:12:26. > :12:29.late to stop the spread of a fungus threatening the UK's ash trees. The

:12:29. > :12:31.number of cases has almost doubled in a week. The Government has

:12:31. > :12:34.confirmed more than 50 different locations with ash dieback disease.

:12:34. > :12:37.More than 100,000 trees have been destroyed. And now the Government

:12:37. > :12:44.is facing possible legal action over the way it has handled the

:12:44. > :12:48.threat to the UK's ash trees. Jenny Hill reports. Ash dieback has

:12:48. > :12:51.already left its mark on the British countryside. 50,000 ash

:12:51. > :12:55.trees were destroyed at his nursery in Lincolnshire after the disease

:12:55. > :13:01.was confirmed here. The owner plans to sue the Government for

:13:01. > :13:04.compensation. The inspectors came and identified that we had the

:13:04. > :13:09.disease, and issued us with a notice in July which prevented us

:13:09. > :13:13.from doing anything to those trees, we could not destroy them, we could

:13:13. > :13:17.not prune them, we could not do anything. It took them a further

:13:17. > :13:20.two months to take the decision to destroy them, during which period

:13:20. > :13:26.the disease's spread throughout the trees very rapidly. We should have

:13:26. > :13:30.destroyed those trees immediately. This is what ash dieback can do.

:13:30. > :13:39.Experts are warning it will decimate the UK population. Many

:13:39. > :13:43.say this should have been prevented. The Trades Association in 2009

:13:43. > :13:49.warned of a new virulent strain of ash dieback. If we had closed the

:13:49. > :13:52.door into a 1009, we might have prevented it coming in. In 2009,

:13:52. > :13:55.the Science indicated that the disease once widespread in the

:13:55. > :14:00.country, so it would have been inappropriate to put a ban in place

:14:00. > :14:05.at that time. The first confirmed finding in the country was in March

:14:05. > :14:11.this year. Since then, we have taken action to put in place a ban

:14:11. > :14:15.on movements and imports. There are a now 52 confirmed cases of ash

:14:15. > :14:19.dieback in the UK. An emergency survey of forest and woodland is

:14:19. > :14:29.now under way, and by Wednesday, the Government expects to have a

:14:29. > :14:29.

:14:29. > :14:33.more extensive assessment of the spread of the disease. Our main

:14:33. > :14:37.headline - it is the final day of campaigning in the US election, in

:14:37. > :14:42.a race which is still too tight to call. Coming up - more than 100

:14:42. > :14:48.dead, more than one million still without power, we report from New

:14:48. > :14:52.York, one week after super Storm Sandy. Some areas are still under

:14:52. > :14:56.water. There was a huge amount of clearing up to be done. The lights

:14:56. > :15:06.may have come back on in New York City, but all along this coast line

:15:06. > :15:20.

:15:20. > :15:24.are communities which will take Even in a double-dip recession,

:15:24. > :15:30.there's one industry at least that seems to be bucking the trend.

:15:30. > :15:33.Gambling profits last year topped �5.6 billion. And with casino-style

:15:33. > :15:35.gambling available day and night, the popularity is growing. For

:15:35. > :15:38.tonight's Panorama programme I've been speaking to people who've

:15:38. > :15:40.found their lives spiralling out of control with debt and also to

:15:40. > :15:48.industry insiders who claim violence and frustration is

:15:48. > :15:52.increasing in our High Street betting shops.

:15:52. > :15:58.Gambling is a multibillion pound industry, last year the industry

:15:58. > :16:03.made a �5.6 billion profit. One machine generates a quarter of

:16:03. > :16:09.those profits. The fixed odds betting terminal, or FOBT, these

:16:09. > :16:13.machines allow stakes of up to �100 every 20 seconds.

:16:13. > :16:18.Panorama spoke to four high street betting shop managers, each with

:16:18. > :16:24.over 20 years' experience who said FOBTs were a cause of of crime and

:16:24. > :16:28.aggression in their shops. People just go beserk, kicking

:16:28. > :16:31.machines, smashing it, trying to tip it over. They're picking up

:16:31. > :16:37.chairs, stools to throw at it, simply because they've lost their

:16:37. > :16:44.money. Available police statistics show crimes of violence in betting

:16:44. > :16:54.shops in Britain rose 9% between 2008 and 2011. Criminal damage

:16:54. > :16:56.reports fell by almost half. Industry insiders claim that's

:16:56. > :16:58.because many acts of criminal damage to FOBT machines are not

:16:58. > :17:05.being reported to the police. William Hill said any suggestion

:17:05. > :17:09.that it covers up violence or permits illegal activity is

:17:09. > :17:13.seriously mistaken. Ladbrokes said, betting shops are safe places to be

:17:14. > :17:16.enjoyed by millions all over the UK without incident. And Betfred told

:17:16. > :17:20.us people do sometimes punch machines out of frustration and

:17:20. > :17:23.that they they intervene on rare occasions that a customer causes

:17:23. > :17:28.damage. Later this month the Government is

:17:28. > :17:36.due to respond to calls for further deregulation of the gambling

:17:36. > :17:46.industry, including proposals to allow more FOBTs in betting shops.

:17:46. > :17:47.

:17:47. > :17:50.You can see more on that in Nine people have pleaded guilty to

:17:50. > :17:53.identifying a woman who was raped by the footballer Ched Evan. One

:17:53. > :17:55.woman has pleaded not guilty to the offence. Let's speak to our Wales

:17:55. > :17:59.Correspondent Hywel Griffith, who's at Prestatyn Magistrates' Court.

:17:59. > :18:02.Very unusual case, tell us what's happened. Yes, it's exceptional.

:18:02. > :18:06.The first time we have seen members of the public brought before the

:18:06. > :18:10.court charged with identifying the victim of a rape. It followed the

:18:10. > :18:13.trial of Ched Evans, the Sheffield United footballer found guilty of

:18:14. > :18:17.raping a 19-year-old woman back in April. In the 48 hours that

:18:17. > :18:21.followed there were tweets and Facebook postings that not only

:18:21. > :18:26.named the victim, but in several cases made abusive claims about her,

:18:26. > :18:30.saying she was money-grabbing and had cried rape. The ten were all in

:18:30. > :18:35.the magistrates court, sat together but they don't know each other,

:18:35. > :18:40.they only thing they have in common is they either made tweets or

:18:40. > :18:43.postings, they are from all walks of life, one a teacher and one a

:18:43. > :18:47.father of three. One evident defendants was a first cousin of

:18:47. > :18:51.Ched Evans, another said he was a close friend. In all cases of the

:18:51. > :18:55.nine who pleaded guilty, their lawyers spoke on their behalf and

:18:55. > :18:58.said they simply didn't realise that the law prohibited them from

:18:58. > :19:02.identifying the victim of a sexual offence. In one case it was said

:19:02. > :19:07.that so many people simply do not understand how easy it is to break

:19:07. > :19:14.the law by using new media. The judge is expected to come back with

:19:14. > :19:17.his findings in the next hour. Thank you very much.

:19:17. > :19:20.The Prime Minister has begun a three-day tour of the Gulf and the

:19:20. > :19:23.Middle East to try to strengthen the UK's defence, security and

:19:23. > :19:26.commercial ties there. Britain is looking to sell Typhoon fighter

:19:26. > :19:29.jets to a number of Gulf states. David Cameron has also pledged to

:19:29. > :19:34.raise the issue of human rights, saying there weren't any "no-go"

:19:34. > :19:38.areas. From Dubai, our security correspondent Frank Gardner reports.

:19:38. > :19:42.Touching down at a desert air base, David Cameron will need to perform

:19:42. > :19:45.a delicate balancing act here. He he is come to promote trade and

:19:45. > :19:50.defence ties but in a region heavily criticised for alleged

:19:50. > :19:53.human rights abuses. His Gulf Arab hosts are openly welcoming but

:19:53. > :19:58.privately critical of Britain's support for the Arab Spring. At

:19:58. > :20:01.stake is the possible sale of 60 typhoon jets a deal deal worth

:20:01. > :20:04.billions of pounds and thousands of jobs. The two countries are also

:20:04. > :20:09.discussing developing this base as a major hub for the British

:20:09. > :20:14.military. The Prime Minister met some of the

:20:14. > :20:19.70 airmen and women based here. If tension rises with Iran that number

:20:19. > :20:24.will grow with the RAF's own typhoons possibly based here as a

:20:24. > :20:28.deterrent. But the Dubai leg of this trip is also about business.

:20:28. > :20:33.With the help of trade shows like this Britain is hoping to boost

:20:33. > :20:36.bilateral trade with the UAE to �15 billion a year. We are in a global

:20:36. > :20:39.economic race and it's vital Britain links up with some of the

:20:39. > :20:43.fastest growing economies in the world like this one, already this

:20:43. > :20:47.year the fast half of this year, our exports to the United Arab

:20:47. > :20:51.Emirates are up 16% and I want to us go further and faster.

:20:51. > :20:56.This is a big opportunity for David Cameron to promote British business

:21:00. > :21:04.the Gulf is booming. Here is the dilemma. Gulf rulers are warning

:21:04. > :21:08.privately that if Britain pushes too hard on democracy and human

:21:08. > :21:17.rights, it risks losing out on major contracts to other countries

:21:17. > :21:20.that ask fewer questions. The first part of a new Forth Road

:21:20. > :21:23.Bridge is being unveiled today. The crossing, which is the biggest

:21:23. > :21:26.transport project in Scotland for a generation, is due to be completed

:21:26. > :21:35.in 2016 and has provided 1,000 jobs. Our correspondent Lorna Gordon is

:21:35. > :21:38.in South Queensferry for us. This replacement crossing has been

:21:38. > :21:43.not without controversy. Opposition parties here in Scotland say more

:21:43. > :21:47.of the work should go to Scottish firms, the SNP Government say 300

:21:47. > :21:50.Scottish companies have benefited from the subcontracts awarded so

:21:50. > :21:55.far. Other politicians here in Scotland say it shouldn't have been

:21:55. > :22:01.built in the first place. But it is being built and today a critical

:22:01. > :22:07.milestone was reached. From the tranquil waters of the

:22:07. > :22:13.Forth a new bridge is starting to emerge. Slowly, meticulously, the

:22:13. > :22:18.foundations for this key crossing are being winched into place. It

:22:18. > :22:24.will soar alongside the current bridge whose traffic it should ease.

:22:24. > :22:28.Not much to see so far, but this is a key part of a six-year

:22:28. > :22:34.construction project. This is the most critical phase of the project.

:22:34. > :22:37.This foundation phase, because this is our - these are the most

:22:37. > :22:45.riskiest operations, we are having to deal with geological risks,

:22:45. > :22:49.having to deal with water, marine tides and we are more exposed to

:22:49. > :22:53.weather conditions than later. often bad Scottish weather has

:22:54. > :22:58.caused problems on the bridge drivers currently use. Up to 70,000

:22:58. > :23:03.vehicles cross it every day. It is a critical artery into and out of

:23:03. > :23:08.Edinburgh. But the cables have been showing signs of deterioration. The

:23:08. > :23:12.new replacement crossing is a huge building project, the biggest seen

:23:12. > :23:17.in Scotland for a generation, costing around �1.5 billion,

:23:17. > :23:20.employing more than 1,000 people. It's a massive boost to the economy.

:23:20. > :23:23.Those employment levels will obviously fluctuate over the

:23:23. > :23:27.remainder of the project but the fact that it's supporting that many

:23:27. > :23:30.people shows that not only is it a vital project in terms of keeping

:23:30. > :23:33.Scotland connected, but it's also providing a boost to the economy,

:23:33. > :23:37.as well. It's thought this may be the only

:23:37. > :23:41.place in the world where three iconic bridges will stand alongside

:23:41. > :23:48.each other in one location. The best of engineering from the 19th,

:23:48. > :23:52.20th and with the new Forth crossing, the 21st century, as well.

:23:52. > :23:58.And work from now on will progress incredibly quickly. You can just

:23:58. > :24:02.about see the foundations of the bridge in the distance. It will

:24:02. > :24:10.start emerging very fast now from the water and it's scheduled to

:24:10. > :24:13.open in 2016. Andy Murray's back on court in

:24:13. > :24:15.London this afternoon for the first time since winning his Olympic gold

:24:16. > :24:19.at Wimbledon. He starts his campaign in the ATP World Tour

:24:19. > :24:22.Final at the O2 Arena in just a couple of hours when he takes on

:24:23. > :24:29.Tomas Berdych. But his path to glory wont be easy with the likes

:24:29. > :24:33.of Novak Djokovic and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to beat. Andy Swiss reports.

:24:33. > :24:37.This report does contain flash photography.

:24:37. > :24:41.Back in London, as we have never seen him before. Andy Murray

:24:41. > :24:45.preparing for his home debut as a Grand Slam champion, two months on

:24:45. > :24:49.from that unforgettable day in New York. Since then it's been a

:24:49. > :24:55.whirlwind of celebrations, but at last his thousands of British fans

:24:55. > :25:00.have the chance to see him back in action. I spent very little time in

:25:00. > :25:04.the UK since the US Open and even since the Olympics. Been over to

:25:04. > :25:09.Asia and then we played a couple of tournaments in Europe, as well. So,

:25:09. > :25:12.we will see, but they they get unbelievable crowds here, hope I

:25:12. > :25:17.get good support. London has provided two of Murray's defining

:25:17. > :25:25.moments this year. Despair at Wimbledon, followed by

:25:25. > :25:30.delight at the Olympics. It's a golden triumph!

:25:30. > :25:33.From agony, to euphoria and the man he played in both finals believes

:25:33. > :25:38.there will be more glittering moments. It's important to see the

:25:38. > :25:43.positive out of even a loss sometimes and that's what he did.

:25:43. > :25:46.He's turned it around and he is in his prime right now and we will see

:25:46. > :25:50.more of Andy to come, not only in this tournament but the coming

:25:50. > :25:54.years. He will have to face world number one Novak Djokovic this week,

:25:54. > :26:01.the top eight players are here in London but Murray will be hoping

:26:01. > :26:04.this glorious year can reach a glorious ending.

:26:04. > :26:08.It's a week since Superstorm Sandy hit the US East Coast, killing at

:26:08. > :26:11.least 100 people. Around a million still have no power and tens of

:26:11. > :26:20.thousands of people are in need of re-housing as the cold weather

:26:20. > :26:25.correspondent sent this report. The skies may now be clear, but the

:26:25. > :26:28.evidence is everywhere of what this storm left behind. This is Breezy

:26:28. > :26:33.Point, but it wasn't the wind or even the flooding which caused the

:26:33. > :26:39.damage here, it was fire. One of the enduring images of the tragedy,

:26:39. > :26:42.they blame a gas leak. Fuelled by wooden timbers and strong wind, the

:26:42. > :26:47.fire quickly spread to engulf the whole neighbourhood. It's

:26:47. > :26:50.devastating, it's heart-breaking, it's something you wouldn't think

:26:50. > :26:57.would happen to you. This woman lost everything in the house she

:26:57. > :27:01.lived in for 23 years. It's going to take a while for this community

:27:01. > :27:06.to come back. But it is going to come back? I think it will, yeah.

:27:06. > :27:09.It will not be - I don't think it will be what it was. This is a

:27:09. > :27:12.close community. Many of those who live here are in the emergency

:27:12. > :27:18.services. The people they were rescuing were their own friends and

:27:18. > :27:22.family. Everyone's 9/11 survivors, first

:27:22. > :27:27.responders, so it's some disaster some people down here have seen

:27:27. > :27:32.before. History has shown that we will be back. We overcome stuff

:27:32. > :27:38.like this and things are things, if you have your friends and family

:27:38. > :27:41.alive that's one thing. Houses can be rebuilt and TVs purchased.

:27:41. > :27:45.coastline suffered some of the worst damage but it was the images

:27:45. > :27:49.of New York which are still etched on the memory of Superstorm Sandy.

:27:49. > :27:53.The power outages which left America's biggest city in darkness,

:27:54. > :27:58.and took almost a week to bring back. And the flooding, tens of

:27:58. > :28:01.thousands of people will have to find new places to live.

:28:01. > :28:04.A week after the storm and some areas are still under water.

:28:04. > :28:08.There's a huge amount of clearing up to be done. The lights may have

:28:08. > :28:12.come back on in New York City, but all along this length of coastline

:28:12. > :28:15.are communities that will take months to get back to some sense of

:28:15. > :28:21.normality. And there's an urgency about their

:28:21. > :28:24.work. The temperature has plummeted and another storm threatens to

:28:24. > :28:30.sweep in this week, further pushing people already tested to their

:28:30. > :28:38.limits. Let's look at the weather now with

:28:38. > :28:42.More nasty weather on the way for the Eastern Seaboard. But on our

:28:42. > :28:47.shores it's looking good. It's quiet out there. It's cold but

:28:47. > :28:51.there is sunshine and it should be a decent afternoon.

:28:51. > :28:55.You can see there is a lot of sunshine for most parts of the UK.

:28:55. > :28:58.Some cloud drifting down that eastern seaboard, it's been

:28:58. > :29:03.bringing sharp showers. Those will continue into the afternoon and the

:29:03. > :29:07.odd shower out towards the west. Temperatures are strul --

:29:07. > :29:10.struggling. This evening, little change. Clear

:29:10. > :29:13.skies for the vast majority and one or two showers around the coasts.

:29:13. > :29:18.But by the middle part of the evening we are thinking about

:29:18. > :29:25.heading out to see bonfire displays and fireworks, it's looking good.

:29:25. > :29:29.Across Scotland, yes it will be cold with a touch of frost, but

:29:29. > :29:32.away from that it's a decent sort of look to things. Clear skies

:29:32. > :29:35.across much of northern England. In Northern Ireland temperatures are

:29:35. > :29:38.beginning to pick up with more cloud and that's a sign of things

:29:38. > :29:42.to come. For the vast majority, it's a dry night with clear spells

:29:42. > :29:46.and one or two showers along that eastern coast and the odd shower

:29:46. > :29:49.across parts of western Wales down towards the tip of Cornwall. The

:29:49. > :29:53.main message for tonight is that it will be cold, that's for sure, with

:29:53. > :29:56.a frost setting in and that frost becomes harder into the second part

:29:56. > :30:00.of the night. However, in Scotland and Northern Ireland there is a

:30:00. > :30:02.change on the way because we have thicker cloud rolling in on a

:30:02. > :30:08.noticeable breeze and that's going to help to raise temperatures here

:30:08. > :30:11.during the overnight period. Temperatures will come up by a few

:30:11. > :30:15.degrees. Across England and Wales it will be colder in rural spots. A

:30:15. > :30:18.widespread frost here to start the day. I suspect Tuesday will be a

:30:18. > :30:22.different sort of day. Yes, a bright start in the south but it

:30:22. > :30:25.will cloud over. A lot of rain spilling south across Scotland into

:30:25. > :30:29.northern England and much of the east of England. Further west, yes

:30:29. > :30:33.a lot of cloud and a few breaks here and there, but temperatures

:30:33. > :30:36.are on the rise. A good few degrees up on today across Scotland and

:30:36. > :30:41.Northern Ireland. Elsewhere, temperatures similar to today's

:30:41. > :30:45.values. Through Wednesday, we start the day essentially frost-free

:30:45. > :30:49.because we have this breeze and a lot of cloud and we keep cloud into

:30:49. > :30:53.the afternoon. Not much rain around but some in the north-west.

:30:53. > :30:55.Temperatures are getting back to double figures across the board. A

:30:55. > :30:59.definite trend with temperatures over the next few days, turning

:31:00. > :31:04.milder not just by day but night, too. But there will be a lot of

:31:04. > :31:09.cloud around and a noticeable breeze but it's a westerly breeze
