Violence escalates in Gaza and southern Israel with more deaths on | :00:06. | :00:10. | |
both sides of the border. Three Israelis are killed when a rocket | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
fired from Gaza hit the top floor of a building. Here in the town | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
where those three Israelis died in the flats behind me, there is | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
growing anger and fear and calls for an intensification of Israel's | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
military operation against Hamas. Crowds gather for the funeral of | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
the Hamas military chief targeted yesterday. 15 Palestinians have | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
been killed so far in Israeli attacks. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
Lord McAlpine speaks of his shock and anger at the allegations | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
contained in a Newsnight report which implicated him in child sex | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
abuse. It gets into your bones. It gets | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
into your - it makes you angry. That's extremely bad for you to be | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
angry. On view for the first time, the | :00:59. | :01:03. | |

Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at 1.00pm. There've been | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
more deaths this morning, as the violence in the Middle East | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
intensifies. Three Israelis were killed by rocket attacks launched | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
from Gaza. They died when a four- storey building in the Southern | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
Israeli town of Kiryat Malachi was hit. The deaths follow the killing | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
of the Hamas' military chief in Gaza yesterday in an Israeli | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
offensive which has killed 12 other Palestinians. In that time, 180 | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
rockets have been fired into southern Israel from Gaza. Let's | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
cross to Ben Brown who's in Kiryat Malachi. | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
Yes, we are in front of that block of flats where the rocket hit. It | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
ploughed into the top floor of the block. You can see that gaping hole. | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
There were two families. They heard the air raid sirens and tried to | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
get down the stairs. They didn't have time to get to shelters. There | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
were three adults killed, two men and a woman and a young child who | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
was injured in that attack. Our correspondent reports now from | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
Jerusalem on where Israel goes next with its military campaign against | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
Hamas. Running for cover in Israeli town | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
of Kiryat Malachi, sirens warning of another rocket attack. | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
This morning, the first casualties on the Israeli side. Two women and | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
a man killed inside this apartment block in the town. | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
The top floor taking a direct hit. The bloodshed here prompting | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
warnings that Israel may now target all top Hamas leaders in the Gaza | :03:20. | :03:29. | |
Strip. We will hit and every leader of the organisation if the | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
shootings will not stop. Israelis have already killed the | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
Hamas military leader Ahmed al- Jabari, targeting him in an air | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
strike in Gaza yesterday afternoon. This attack leading to the rapid | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
escalation in violence over the past 24 hours. And there's still a | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
possibility Israel will launch a ground offensive into the Gaza | :03:53. | :04:01. | |
Strip, with the army making some preparations. But for now it's the | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
Israeli airforce which is in action, flying frequent sorties, targeting | :04:07. | :04:17. | |
:04:17. | :04:18. | ||
Hamas' arsenal of weapons and other Here on the border all morning we | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
have seen Israeli warplanes in the sky heading in to Gaza. There have | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
been more Israeli air strikes there, more casualties in Gaza. There's | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
also been the funeral of the Hamas military commander killed yesterday | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
in one of those air strikes. Let's go over now to our Gaza | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
correspondent for the latest. As you say, it's been a noisy | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
morning. It's been almost 24 hours since the killing of Ahmed al- | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
Jabari, which was a major escalation in the violence in and | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
around Gaza. All morning here we have heard the thuds of Israeli air | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
strikes within the last hour our building has been shook by air | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
strikes to the north of here. More casualties today. The violence | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
today started early. After a relatively quiet night, the | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
dawn broke in Gaza. More Israeli air strikes. And another busy day | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
for hospitals here. Among the dead and injured Hamas fighters, but | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
also civilians. At least 13 Palestinians have been killed since | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
yesterday, including children, and a young baby. On the streets of | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
Gaza today, people fear another war. Are you worried? Yes, sure. | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
Everybody is worried that is going to start second war. That's what we | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
have seen with continuous bombardment and shelling. This is | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
very - it's deja vu. The violence escalated yesterday after Israel | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
targeted and killed one of Hamas' most senior figures as he drove | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
through Gaza City. Thousands of Hamas supporters are gathering here | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
at the main mosque in Gaza City for the funeral of their military | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
commander Ahmed al-Jabari. It's a potential flashpoint. There are a | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
few senior Hamas figures here, but most of them are likely underground | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
in hiding. But there are likely to be more funerals. Neither Israel | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
nor Hamas will want to be seen to back down. Both see themselves as | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
as protecting their civilians. Hamas has been firing scores of | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
rockets Ted, but it's mass -- today but it's massively outgunned. | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
I mentioned the civilian casualties, one point I should say is that in | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
the BBC office here we were affected. The BBC's Arabic Services | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
picture editor, his young baby son, 11 months old, was killed yesterday | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
in an apparent shelling from an Israeli tank. All civilian | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
casualties on both sides tragic, particularly so when it affects | :06:53. | :07:01. | |
people who you know and work with. Thank you very much. | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
We are about 15 miles or so here from the Israeli Gaza border. The | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
blood letting does continue on both sides of that border, almost 200 | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
rockets fired out of Gaza into this part of southern Israel in the last | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
24 hours or so. For its part, the Israelis are saying they cannot | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
rule out a ground offensive with ground troops going into Gaza. | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
Simon, back to you. Thank you. We can speak to our Middle East editor | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
now, Jeremy Bowen. The escalation of violence and inevitable finger- | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
pointing, what happens next? What happens next is that this thing | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
will unfold with more of the same, think for a few days. The Israelis | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
will like it to be relatively limited. I don't think think | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
they're trying to do the comprehensive and ambition | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
operation they attempted to do to stop the rocket fire for good and | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
all in 2008-2009. There was that last big war. However, they're not | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
in control of the situation because it depends what Hamas does and also | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
depends the levels of casualties. Israel's continued response and | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
escalation will, in part, be governed by the number of Israelis | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
who get killed. If Hamas rocket landed in a particularly sensitive | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
place, and put a lot of casualties in hospital or killed them, then | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
the Israelis would do more. What about the effect on the region, a | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
much changed region in recent years and Egypt where there will be focus | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
on how they respond? It's changed a lot since that last 2008-2009 war, | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
because then there was President Mubarak and one Israeli said to me | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
the first thing they do in Israeli Foreign Ministry is say a prayer | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
for for his health. He seemed to be key to stability. Now he is gone | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
and the President there elected is a Muslim Brotherhood leader, Hamas | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
come from the Muslim Brotherhood, so there is an obvious connection | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
there. Plus, Egyptians, in general, get outraged by the things that | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
Israelis do to Palestinians, especially in Gaza. That was | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
something that Hosni Mubarak always used to ignore, it's something the | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
new President can't ignore. However, the Muslim Brotherhood is cautious. | :09:20. | :09:30. | |
:09:30. | :09:32. | ||
He is not going to do things precipitively. Thank you. | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
The former Conservative Party Treasurer, Lord McAlpine, has given | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
his first broadcast interview since being wrongly linked to child abuse. | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
Lord McAlpine has spoken of his shock and anger at the allegations | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
contained in a Newsnight report which implicated him - even though | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
it didn't name him. His lawyer says he expects to reach a settlement | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
with the BBC today. Philippa Thomas reports. For years he moved in the | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
top circles of British politics as Conservative Party treasurer and a | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
close friend of Margaret Thatcher. He was never involved in the sexual | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
abuse of children. And says the very suggestion came as a | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
horrendous shock. It gets into your bones. It gets into - it makes you | :10:09. | :10:18. | |
angry. And that's extremely bad for you to be angry. It gets into your | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
soul. Newsnight's report on abuse at this North Wales care home had | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
referred only to a former senior Conservative, but Lord McAlpine's | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
name was swiftly identified and spread online. His denial prompted | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
this public apology. A new crisis for Newsnight. Tonight, this | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
programme apologises. A key allegation in a report about child | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
abuse was wrong. An internal BBC report has already found that | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
Newsnight failed to carry out basic journalistic checks like putting | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
the claim to Lord McAlpine. course they should have called me. | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
I would have told them exactly what they learned later on. What was | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
that? That it was complete rubbish. And that I had only ever been to | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
Wrexham once in my life. They could have saved themselves a lot of | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
agonising and money, actually. If they had just made that telephone | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
call. The BBC has been at the eye of a storm of bad publicity. But | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
after the allegations the apology, and the resignation of the BBC's | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
Director-General come the inquiries and the legal settlements. Lord | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
McAlpine's lawyer is looking beyond the BBC to those he says helped | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
spread the smear on social media. Look, we know in inverted kphas, | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
who you are, we know the extent of what you have done. And it's easier | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
to come forward and see us and apologise and arrange to settle | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
with us. He's already referred to two public figures who drew | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
attention to Lord McAlpine on Twitter saying he has heard from | :11:58. | :12:08. | |
:12:08. | :12:16. | ||
George Monbiot apologising but not Let's speak to our legal affairs | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
correspondent Clive Coleman. A settlement with the BBC, what's | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
that likely to be? Well, we may never know because settlements in | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
these cases are often confidential although I understand that the BBC | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
is comfortable with revealing the figure because it is public money. | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
But as far as the figure itself goes, you are looking at the | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
seniority of the person concerned, the gravity of the allegation, that | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
obviously is at the high end in this case. Just to give you a | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
comparison, the natural father of baby P was awarded �75,000 in | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
defamation damages reduced to �50,000 on appeal, after false | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
accusations that he was guilty of a serious sexual offence. I think we | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
are looking at around the �50,000 figure. But that could be reduced | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
by two things. Firstly, the BBC's behaviour, it's apologised swiftly | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
and fully. Secondly, the fact that we heard from Lord McAlpine's | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
lawyer that he is conscious of the fact this is public money. It's | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
licence-fee payers money and that will temper, in other words, reduce | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
the settlement figure. What about action against Twitter? How | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
difficult will that be? It's not so difficult if the people tweeting | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
under their own names and you can locate them and they're within the | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
jurisdiction. If they're anonymous and outside the jurisdiction very | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
difficult. You would have to - the lawyers would have to get a special | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
court order against Twitter in the United States, that's far from | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
straightforward. That perhaps is why he is saying that the best way | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
forward is for people who have tweeted to come forward, identify | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
themselves, and what he is getting at there is that if actions have to | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
be brought, those people would be liable for considerable legal costs. | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
Thank you. Police investigating allegations of abuse linked to | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
Jimmy Savile have arrested a man in his 60s in Bedfordshire this | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
morning, on suspicion of sexual offences. He has been taken into | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
custody. Our home affairs correspondent is at New | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
Broadcasting House. We don't have many details at the moment. This | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
man was detained at 7.4 4.00am. - he is being questioned by police at | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
the moment. He is being questioned not in relation to offences | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
allegedly carried out with Jimmy Savile, but under a strand of the | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
investigation termed Others. That is offences that he is alleged to | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
have carried out by himself. He is the 4th person to be arrested by | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
the Metropolitan Police's Operation Yewtree which was set up after the | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
Savile allegations surfaced. Scotland Yard has revealed today | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
just the extent of the allegations that they have - they are looking | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
into. In the past three weeks, the number of potential victims has | :14:51. | :14:58. | |
increased from 300, to 450. 150 increase in the space of the last | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
three weeks. The number of recorded allegations of sexual assault has | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
increased to 200 and detectives are still working their way through all | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
those potential victims to try to take statements from them. Thank | :15:08. | :15:18. | |
Thank you very much. Drinking one or two glasses of wine | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
a week during pregnancy can impact on a child's IQ. That is according | :15:23. | :15:30. | |
to a study that looked at IQ scores of 4,000 children and the alcohol | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
take of their mothers. Experts reinforced the need to | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
avoid alcohol in pregnancy. Mothers are giving advice on the dangers | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
posed by drinking while they are expecting, but when it comes to | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
moderate drinking, the picture is far less clear. | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
I didn't think I would drink, but I did, a rare occasion at a wedding | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
or dinner party. I enjoyed having half a glass of red wine a week. | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
maybe had one or two glasses of wine a week. Not a huge amount. My | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
son seems fine. My daughter seems fine. My mother drank through my | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
pregnancy, I think I am OK. I didn't drink when I was pregnant | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
with my daughter. I think for women who do want to drink... The | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
information out there is confusing. This study looked at more than | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
4,000 mothers and their children. Some of the mothers were | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
genetically less able to process alcohol. In this group, mothers who | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
drank small amounts, the children scored lower in IQ tests than those | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
who avoided drink all together. Of course, the study must be | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
replicated by other groups, but I think that we have good evidence | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
that moderate drinking can be harmful during pregnancy, therefore | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
it is best avoided. Official advice for pregnant women | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
is to avoid alcohol, but if you do drink to have no more than one or | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
two units of alcohol once or twice a week. The Department of Health in | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
England say it is will take note of new evidence. That advice needs to | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
be amended. The study shows what that in some | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
families, even low levels of alcohol consumption can affect the | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
IQ scores of some children, but lots of factors influence the | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
development of children. What mums seem to want is just clear advice. | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
BP is to be fined billions of dollars over the Deepwater Horizon | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
disaster in 2010. It is expected to be anything between $3 billion and | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
$5 billion. The biggest criminal penalty in US history. | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
Let's speak to prest pest pest. Is this more or -- let's speak to | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
Robert Peston. Is this more or less that the | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
company were predicting? It is difficult to predict what kind of | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
fine you have to pay on a charge of this sort. There is not a huge | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
amount to go on, the BP oil disaster was the worst ever in | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
terms of an off-shore oil spill. It also killed 11 people. It is | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
difficult to work out what the numbers are until the negotiations | :18:20. | :18:28. | |
got into a detailed situation. I thought that the fines announced | :18:28. | :18:37. | |
later today could be about 3 to 5 - - three to five billion dollars, I | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
predict about $4 billion. So this is a bit of a humiliation for this | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
British company, BP. I am also expecting there to be up to four | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
arrests of technicians and engineers, who are thought in some | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
ways to be implicated in the disaster. Remember that there were | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
11 people tragically killed in the original explosion that led to the | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
terrible oil spill. But although it does look like bad | :19:05. | :19:12. | |
news, plainly it is not good news, there was a huge unlimit the -- | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
unlimited liability hanging over BP, now at least the owners will take | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
reassurance that they know the extent of the criminal damage, the | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
criminal fine, although the civil cases for BP relating to this | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
disaster will go on for years. Thank you very much. | :19:30. | :19:34. | |

JesseWare. The men to lead China in the next | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
decade have been presented to the world for the first time. The | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
country's new leader is Xi Jinping, pro promised to fight corruption | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
and work for a ler life for the people. There was no sign of | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
reformers in the new Politburo General McChrystal -- Standing | :20:27. | :20:34. | |
Committee. The new membership is mostly seen as Conservative. | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
After a mysterious, secretive process, China has chosen its new | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
leaders. Seven men in communist sartorial | :20:44. | :20:52. | |
splendour, and foremost among them, the new Party General Secretary, as | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
expected, Xi Jinping. In front of the invited journalists he lost no | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
time in warning of the challenges ahead. | :20:59. | :21:07. | |
TRANSLATION: The problems among the party members with regards to | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
corruption, taking bribes, being out of touch with the people, undue | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
emphasis on farmallities and bureaucratism, must be addressed | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
with great efforts. Little is known about Xi Jinping's | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
preferred solutions to those challenges. | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
Those who have met him describe a relaxed, informal man, seemingly | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
different from his predecessors, but he is also known to have close | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
ties to China's hardline military chiefs. The Chinese people have had | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
no say in choosing their leaders. The party has done that for them. | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
Few will expect major changes in direction, but outside observers | :21:47. | :21:55. | |
will be trying to read the runes about the man now in charge of the | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
world's second biggest economy. The men include Li Keqiang, the second | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
most senior ranked leader, a former farm labourer. Wang Qishan is | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
already an architect of economic reform and perhaps offers the hope | :22:10. | :22:18. | |
of some more. Then there is number three, Zhang Dejiang and Yen-Hsun | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
Lu both said to be Conservative hardliners. | :22:22. | :22:29. | |
Xi Jinping's wife, is a singer, at least as famous as he is. Had is | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
something else that marks him out as different, but only by a matter | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
of degree. Conformity and caution are keys to the long, hard climb up | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
to the Communist Party politics and all of these men are likely to have | :22:43. | :22:51. | |
those in abundance. You can find out more on China's | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
new leaders the changes at the top of the party on the BBC News | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
website. The eurozone has gone back into | :23:00. | :23:07. | |
recession. Analysts say that the two ports of negative growth are | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
down and there is a pushing up of unemployment. | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
Let's get more. Can you talk us through the | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
figures? Yes, we have the figures back, the first since 2009. It | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
reveals that the eurozone economic output was down 0 .1% in the third | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
quarter. That follows a decline in the previous quarter, of 0 .2%. | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
That means a recession, but looking at the big players in the eurozone, | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
there is a different story. Germany and France saw their output grow by | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
0..2% between July and September. The overall eurozone was dragged | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
down by Spain and Portugal and Italy. They have been in recession | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
since the end of last year. So the question now is what will the | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
downturn in those commission -- economies mean for Germany and | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
France next year. They could go into a down it's durn. | :24:09. | :24:15. | |

India have had a tough time at the hands of eng -- England have had a | :24:55. | :25:03. | |
tough time today in the first Test Match against India. India finished | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
on 323-4. The cricket started before breakfast. Serious stuff. 14 | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
overs and innings and the waste ground matches going on. Bowling | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
here can require maximum effort for minimal rewards as England soon | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
discovered. India won the toss. It gave them | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
the chance to bat first. Virender Sehwag scored almost in his sleep. | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
India making 120. Pace bowling seemed pointless. England had | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
Graeme Swann's spin. Gautam Gambhir gone for 41, but Virender Sehwag | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
stood still and let the bat do the work. He reached a 100 and on the | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
first afternoon of the first Test England were running out of options. | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
Test cricket may not be the draw it once was in this country, but this | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
match drew a big crowd, while Virender Sehwag was batting, but | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
Graeme Swann was not giving up. No spin bowler of his style has ever | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
taken more wickets for England. The cheer for Sachin Tendulkar is only | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
matched by the silence when he is out. | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
A catch and Graeme Swann's third wicket. | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
There was an edge, it should have been Jonathan Trott's catch. The | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
fielder was unsure. The replay left you wondering did Jonathan Trott | :26:22. | :26:31. | |
believe he may have caught it? Then Swan carried the bin and got | :26:31. | :26:38. | |
another bowler. And India not out 323-4. India are | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
in control. And finally, even Steven Gerrard | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
said it was the best goal had ever seen. | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's winner for Sweden has been hailed as one of | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
the sport's best-ever strikes. The man himself described it as a | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
combination of luck and skill. Andy Swiss can tell you all about | :27:02. | :27:09. | |
it if you did not see it. Question: What do you do 30 yards from goal | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
and facing the wrong way? Answer: This.... | :27:12. | :27:21. | |
COMMENTATOR: Oh! It was the moment of breath-taking, chest-bearing | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
genius. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, some called it a propellor kick, others | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
an overhead lob, but everyone agreed it was out of this world so, | :27:31. | :27:37. | |
was it the greatest goal ever? Even England could only stand and | :27:37. | :27:43. | |
applaud. It was hard to imagine. It was the | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
best goal I have seen in my career. Full credit to him. | :27:47. | :27:55. | |
The title of Best Goal Ever has no shortage of claimants. If you want | :27:55. | :28:02. | |
twinkling toes how about Diego Maradona against England? | :28:02. | :28:09. | |
COMMENTATOR: That was magnificent! And for sheer power there was | :28:09. | :28:17. | |
Holland's Van Basten in 1988. COMMENTATOR: What a goal! A beauty. | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
Or how about something closer to home? | :28:20. | :28:26. | |
COMMENTATOR: Wayne Rooney! That is fantastic! Now, one of sport's | :28:26. | :28:30. | |
favourite pub debates has a new contender. Football has seen weird | :28:30. | :28:34. | |
and wonderful things over the years, but nothing quite like the | :28:34. | :28:43. | |
incredible Zlatan Ibrahimovic. incredible Zlatan Ibrahimovic. | :28:43. | :28:46. | |
Now a weather update. Early morning mist and fog is | :28:46. | :28:50. | |
causing problems this morning. As illustrated by this beautiful | :28:50. | :28:53. | |
picture coming in from Leicester. This is Leicester a few hours ago. | :28:53. | :28:58. | |
Now the cloud is lifting, but it is mainly cloudy for many. However, | :28:58. | :29:03. | |
where the fog has lingered, it is having effect on the temperatures. | :29:03. | :29:08. | |
Four Celsius in Coventry. That is the story in the Midlands. In the | :29:08. | :29:14. | |
north 12 Celsius. There is some brightness here. That is over | :29:14. | :29:20. | |
eastern Scotland, northern England and Anglesey. A contrasting | :29:20. | :29:24. | |
temperature in the afternoon for the south-west. The odd spot or two | :29:24. | :29:28. | |
of drizzle. Where the fog is lingering, the temperatures in the | :29:28. | :29:33. | |
Midlands are struggling. By contrast into Anglesey in the north | :29:33. | :29:37. | |
of England, not a bad afternoon, 11 Celsius there. | :29:37. | :29:43. | |
In Northern Ireland, a little drizzle. | :29:43. | :29:48. | |
In Aberdeen, a bright sunny afternoon, although six Celsius. In | :29:48. | :29:55. | |
the north arched west rain is starting to show. Are -- in the | :29:55. | :30:01. | |
north and in the afternoon in the west, some rain. Lingering fog in | :30:01. | :30:07. | |
Wales and down into the south-west. Overmight, up to nine Celsius, and | :30:07. | :30:14. | |
a little bit of rain. For Children in Need, a double pronged attack, | :30:14. | :30:18. | |
problems from the north-west and the south-west, the problems will | :30:18. | :30:23. | |
merge. They will take time arriving in the west, a murky cloudy start | :30:23. | :30:27. | |
here. Rain in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The best of the brightness | :30:27. | :30:36. | |
on Friday. Here a contrast in the south-east of 10 to 12 Celsius. | :30:36. | :30:40. | |
Now the cloud and the rain is continuing to push to the south and | :30:40. | :30:45. | |
the east through the day on Saturday. Rain for England and | :30:45. | :30:52. | |
Wales. Behind it a contrast, clearer and sunny skies, but cool | :30:52. | :30:55. | |
temperatures. High pressure on Sunday, so not a | :30:55. | :31:00. | |
bad day in prospect. Make the most of it as another area of low | :31:00. | :31:05. | |
pressure is pushing into the west so all change on Monday. For the | :31:05. | :31:09. | |
weekend, the north of England starting off cloudy. Brightening up, | :31:09. | :31:15. | |
rain to come down to the south-east. A sparkling sunny day in prospect | :31:15. | :31:17. | |
A sparkling sunny day in prospect for Sunday. | :31:17. | :31:22. |
