:01:46. > :01:50.Welcome to the BBC News. President Obama says he will use whatever

:01:50. > :01:54.powers he has to try and prevent further tragedies, following the

:01:54. > :01:58.mass shooting at a school in Connecticut. Mr Obama told a multi-

:01:58. > :02:03.-fate vigil in Newtown that the country had to change. 20 children

:02:03. > :02:07.and six staff were shot dead by Adam Lanza, who then turned the gun

:02:07. > :02:13.on himself. The first funeral of one of the victims will take place

:02:13. > :02:17.later today. Our correspondent reports.

:02:17. > :02:25.A moment for Newtown to come together, after the horror and the

:02:25. > :02:30.heart-break. An interfaith prayer vigil for the dead. In his role as

:02:30. > :02:40.the nation's comforter in chief, the President offered this

:02:40. > :02:47.assurance. I come to offer the love and prayers of the nation. I am

:02:47. > :02:51.very mindful that words can not match the depths of your sorrow,

:02:51. > :02:58.nor can they heal your wounded hearts.

:02:58. > :03:02.I can only hope it helps for you to know you're not alone.

:03:02. > :03:06.President praised the teachers who died trying to protect their

:03:06. > :03:11.charges. As families held their children tightly, he said mass

:03:11. > :03:19.shootings couldn't be tolerated any more. We can't accept events like

:03:19. > :03:26.this as routine. Are we really prepared to say we

:03:26. > :03:36.are powerless? In the face of such carnage.

:03:36. > :03:39.That the politics are too hard? Are we prepared to say such violence

:03:40. > :03:44.visited on our children, year, after year, after year are the

:03:45. > :03:54.price of our freedom. As Newtown grieved for the 20 lost children,

:03:55. > :04:04.

:04:04. > :04:12.Barack Obama named each one. Noah, Caroline, Jessica, Benjamin,

:04:12. > :04:16.Avielle, Allison, God has called them all home.

:04:16. > :04:19.Newtown is experiencing heart- rending sorrow.

:04:19. > :04:23.Watching the President's speech, was an emotional experience for

:04:23. > :04:29.many. His coming here is very momental.

:04:29. > :04:33.It means a lot to everybody here. It raises a question that everybody

:04:33. > :04:39.is thinking about. What else can we do? More should definitely be done.

:04:39. > :04:42.There's got to be something because there's too many kids dying, too

:04:43. > :04:45.many shootings. It doesn't belong anywhere. As this town mourns, the

:04:45. > :04:49.President's call for meaningful action in the wake of these

:04:50. > :04:53.killings will soon be tested. A senior Democrat will try and

:04:53. > :04:57.introduce a law to ban assault weapons. The question is whether

:04:57. > :05:04.the political climate has changed after this tragedy, so that such a

:05:05. > :05:11.ban can pass. Let's pick that up now with our

:05:11. > :05:16.correspondent, who joins us from Newtown. How much has the feeling

:05:16. > :05:21.towards gun laws changed since what happened in Newtown? Well,

:05:21. > :05:26.unfortunately in America they have seen mass shootings before, but I

:05:26. > :05:32.think why this one particularly is so different is because it involves

:05:32. > :05:37.children of such a young age and shot in such a brutal way using an

:05:37. > :05:41.assault weapon. An assault weapon which had previously been banned by

:05:41. > :05:45.federal law, but that law had lapsed in 2004. There is talk now

:05:45. > :05:49.about having that reinstated. Certainly President Obama was here

:05:49. > :05:53.last night, speaking at that memorial service and he vowed to

:05:53. > :05:59.use all the powers of his office to make sure that something like this

:05:59. > :06:01.never happened again. He didn't mention gun control specifically.

:06:01. > :06:06.But there is increasing pressure for something to be done, possibly

:06:06. > :06:09.to tighten the laws. Many States over the last few years have seen

:06:09. > :06:13.laws against guns actually get more lenient.

:06:13. > :06:17.Thank you. You can find out more about the

:06:17. > :06:23.debate on gun laws in America and some profiles of some of those who

:06:23. > :06:30.lost their lives in the Newtown shootings. It's on the BBC News

:06:30. > :06:34.website. A further 300,000 people are likely

:06:34. > :06:37.to have been pushed into fuel poverty by Christmas, according to

:06:37. > :06:42.Government advisers. A household is considered to be fuel poor if more

:06:42. > :06:49.than 10% of income is spent on Energy Bills. The big six energy

:06:49. > :06:54.firms have all announced price rises this winter. The annual

:06:54. > :06:57.direct debit bill per year is �1,000.

:06:57. > :07:03.It's the perfect Christmas scene. With our energy prices up, and

:07:03. > :07:08.winter upon us, the last thing many households will want this year is a

:07:08. > :07:13.white Christmas. The latest figures suggest that a further 300,000

:07:13. > :07:19.households will be pushed into fuel poverty by the latest rounds of

:07:19. > :07:22.energy price hikes. Leaving 6.5 million households classed as fuel

:07:22. > :07:27.poor. Some suggest the figure could go higher in the years to come.

:07:27. > :07:32.And it is the vulnerable who suffer most. Over half of them are

:07:32. > :07:38.pensioners. Around one-third have a disability or a long-term illness.

:07:38. > :07:41.Around one fifth, or 20%, they have a child under five. With Energy

:07:41. > :07:46.Bills already at record high levels, this report warns that the plight

:07:46. > :07:50.of the fuel poor has never be more serious. What's more, there are now

:07:50. > :07:56.real concerns that in the coming years our domestic Energy Bills

:07:56. > :08:00.could go higher. Some fear that global gas prices

:08:00. > :08:05.could be one of the main drivers. The Government's plans for low-

:08:05. > :08:11.carbon energy will also increase our bills. Today, the energy

:08:11. > :08:14.regulator confirmed we would all pay an extra �12 on average a year

:08:14. > :08:17.to upgrade the electricity and gas networks. We know that people are

:08:17. > :08:22.struggling with their bills. That is something we are very conscious

:08:22. > :08:26.of. Our plans are designed to make sure that customers pay the minimum

:08:26. > :08:30.for the necessary upgrades to the infrastructure.

:08:30. > :08:35.The report calls for a step-change in the energy efficiency of our

:08:35. > :08:42.housing stock. It warns that in England help for the fuel poor will

:08:42. > :08:45.be cut by almost half. So what can the Government do? Gas prices will

:08:45. > :08:49.have doubled by 2007. No-one can do anything about that. I am

:08:49. > :08:53.determined to do as much as we can, whether on competition, to drive

:08:54. > :08:59.down energy costs or whether in energy efficiency. That will not

:08:59. > :09:03.help this Christmas, when for many, there'll be just one way to keep

:09:03. > :09:07.bills low. The Queen is going to Downing Street tomorrow to attend a

:09:07. > :09:10.Cabinet meeting as an observer. It is thought to be the first time a

:09:10. > :09:15.monarch has done so since Queen Victoria's reign. She is expected

:09:15. > :09:18.to sit next to the Prime Minister. Nick, how much is Downing Street

:09:18. > :09:27.revealing about what is likely to happen tomorrow? Not a great deal.

:09:27. > :09:32.It has to be said. The Queen, she has regular meetings with her Prime

:09:32. > :09:36.Ministers. Perhaps, surprisingly, she has never attended a Cabinet

:09:36. > :09:40.meeting. No monarch has since Queen Victoria. Tomorrow, the Queen will

:09:40. > :09:45.come here to Downing Street. The purpose of the visit is to receive

:09:45. > :09:48.a Diamond Jubilee gift from the Cabinet. They've had a kind of a

:09:48. > :09:55.whip around and they are not revealing what they have raised or

:09:55. > :09:59.what that gift is. A previous Government for a previous jubilee

:09:59. > :10:05.bought her a silver coffee pot. She will join the Cabinet meeting, not

:10:05. > :10:10.for the 90 minutes, be -- but it is thought for 30 minutes. Downing

:10:10. > :10:15.Street are saying she will be an observer. She's not expected to

:10:15. > :10:19.make any contributions. Judging by the sharp questions she asked at

:10:19. > :10:23.the Bank of England last Thursday, you never know!

:10:23. > :10:25.Thank you. Nick Clegg has set out the differences between his party

:10:25. > :10:30.and their coalition partners, the Conservatives. Talking about some

:10:30. > :10:33.of the themes on which the Liberal Democrats will contest the next

:10:33. > :10:38.election, the Deputy Prime Minister said they had rejected extreme

:10:38. > :10:43.welfare reforms and anchored the UK in the political centre-ground. Our

:10:43. > :10:48.correspondent joins us from Westminster now.

:10:48. > :10:50.Tomorrow, will be Nick Clegg's fifth anniversary as Lib Dem leader.

:10:50. > :10:54.He spent half the time in Government, half in opposition. He

:10:54. > :10:59.said he has kept the Conservatives in the centre-ground of British

:10:59. > :11:02.politics T problem is it has cost him dear in electoral support.

:11:02. > :11:06.Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister in lock-step during the

:11:06. > :11:12.first step of this Government. That is how Nick Clegg describes his

:11:12. > :11:17.approach to date. Now that is to change and his poll ratings are

:11:17. > :11:22.down in single figures. He said there'll be more disagreements with

:11:23. > :11:27.David Cameron in coming months. can be a bit more relaxed and open

:11:27. > :11:30.about the fact it is a process, a process by which decisions are

:11:30. > :11:36.reached through deliberations, through argument, through

:11:36. > :11:40.compromise. The party's future in Government would be in coalition,

:11:40. > :11:44.said Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems would be those who tempered the

:11:44. > :11:49.iedlogs of left and right. It is, at times like these, that Britain

:11:49. > :11:53.needs a party rooted in the centre ground, which anchors the country

:11:53. > :11:58.there. The Liberal Democrats are that

:11:58. > :12:07.party. We're not centre-ground tourists.

:12:07. > :12:10.The centre ground is our home. The strategy had already borne

:12:10. > :12:17.fruit. It was his presence that stopped the Conservatives from

:12:17. > :12:22.pushing through a further �10 billion of benefits cuts. We agreed

:12:22. > :12:27.to update them all in line with the pay raises we can afford from the

:12:27. > :12:37.public sector from 1%. We rejected the more extreme reforms that had

:12:37. > :12:43.been put on the table. But after 2015 15 things like the winter fuel

:12:43. > :12:50.allowance and free TV licenses for the elderly can be cut. It is not

:12:50. > :12:53.sustainable to somehow say that people, multi-millionaire

:12:53. > :12:57.pensioners still receive universal benefits across the board. It is

:12:57. > :13:03.something we need to look at. was a pitch for the centre ground.

:13:03. > :13:08.The problem is everyone else wants to be there too. Nick Clegg's

:13:08. > :13:12.likening his new approach to the making of sausages. He wants the

:13:12. > :13:18.public to know what goes into coalition policy and what he

:13:18. > :13:23.insists is left out. I guess the taste test will be in the opinion

:13:23. > :13:28.polls. Thank you. Nearly 60 MPs and peers from all parties have joined

:13:28. > :13:32.forces to urge the Prime Minister to drop his plans to legalise same-

:13:32. > :13:35.sex marriage in England and Wales. 35 of the parliamentarians are

:13:35. > :13:38.Conservative MPs. They have signed an open letter in the Daily

:13:38. > :13:44.Telegraph newspaper, warning that the Government does not have a

:13:44. > :13:50.mandate to redefine marriage. The nurse who aparently killed herself

:13:50. > :13:55.after she took a prank call at the hospital where the Duchess of

:13:55. > :13:59.Cambridge was being treated has been buried. Her funeral in the

:13:59. > :14:09.town of Shirva was attended by thousands of people, including

:14:09. > :14:10.

:14:10. > :14:14.friends and family. Her final journey. Jacintha Saldanha's coffin

:14:14. > :14:20.arriving at Shirva's church. Her family, joined by friends and

:14:20. > :14:25.hundreds of well-wishers, as the kas ket is taken in for the service.

:14:25. > :14:29.This tragedy has been closely followed in India. And the media

:14:29. > :14:33.were out in full force. It's been the wish of Jacintha Saldanha's

:14:33. > :14:37.family that the ceremony inside remain private. So many people have

:14:37. > :14:42.gathered here today to pay their last respects. The police have had

:14:42. > :14:47.a very hard time controlling the crowds. This is an event that has

:14:47. > :14:51.devastated this very close, tightly-knit community. Many people

:14:51. > :14:57.are raising questions, wondering how this could have happened in the

:14:57. > :15:01.first place. Her final resting place is in this grave at the

:15:01. > :15:05.Church cemetery. Mrs Saldanha's husband, who brought her body from

:15:05. > :15:10.the UK, inspected it earlier in the day. The Church service was

:15:10. > :15:20.proceeded by a private ceremony at the family home. Only those closest

:15:20. > :15:21.

:15:21. > :15:26.Most families here have a loved one living and working abroad. So this

:15:26. > :15:30.is a tragedy that has struck home. Many are asking why and what caused

:15:30. > :15:39.Jacintha Saldanha's death? There is anger and anguish and many

:15:39. > :15:43.unanswered questions. Our top story:

:15:43. > :15:47.The Connecticut school shooting, President Obama says he will use

:15:47. > :15:50.all of his powers to prevent further tragedies.

:15:50. > :15:56.Coming up: The vulnerability of the local vicar, how some are now

:15:56. > :16:01.considering closing their doors. On BBC London: The inquest into the

:16:01. > :16:05.death of singer, Amy Winehouse is to be re-heard. A steam train built

:16:05. > :16:15.more than 100 years ago has travelled on the tube ahead of a

:16:15. > :16:16.

:16:16. > :16:19.special service in January. It is a busy time of year for

:16:19. > :16:23.parish priests. In the run-up to Christmas many ensure that the

:16:23. > :16:29.doors are open to those who need help and support. Sometimes, though,

:16:29. > :16:32.that accessability can have dangers. Earlier in the year, the Reverend,

:16:32. > :16:37.Reverend John Suddards was murdered in his vicarage. His death prompted

:16:37. > :16:42.concerns about the dangers facing the clergy and their families.

:16:42. > :16:46.Reverend John Suddards had been the vicar of St Mary's Church in

:16:46. > :16:52.Thornberry for six months when he was attacked and murdered. He was

:16:52. > :16:55.well aware of the potential risks that came with the collar and once

:16:55. > :16:58.discussed the issue with a community radio station.

:16:58. > :17:03.I think it is very important, the Church has been there for the

:17:03. > :17:08.people of Thornberry for hundreds of years. We do have to take risks,

:17:08. > :17:13.but we believe they are the risks we are called on to take.

:17:13. > :17:16.Risks that just months later would cost his life. Such murders are

:17:16. > :17:21.rare, but abuse and violence are not.

:17:21. > :17:25.I came here, there was a big group of lads kicking a football up

:17:25. > :17:31.against the crucifix here. A football, repeatedly doing it. I

:17:31. > :17:35.was unnerved by that. So I came out, I grabbed the ball, went inside and

:17:35. > :17:39.locked the doors. Father Kevin Scully was badly

:17:39. > :17:43.beaten up at his church in East London.

:17:43. > :17:49.I raze how close and dangerous the situation had been. How near to

:17:49. > :17:54.real hurt, and real danger that I was. So that affected the way that

:17:54. > :17:58.I behaved, especially, I would see groups of lads coming around, I

:17:58. > :18:04.would lock up the church. I was anxious. I had to seek professional

:18:04. > :18:10.help. I was unnerved and had lost my confidence.

:18:10. > :18:16.Now, the number of these attacks can be difficult to categorise.

:18:16. > :18:20.Academic research in the past, has named the clergy as one of the most

:18:20. > :18:24.at-risk groups of professionals working in the community. This is

:18:24. > :18:30.the response. What would happen.if you jumped up

:18:30. > :18:34.and tried to attack me? Where would I go? The doors are there? These

:18:34. > :18:38.courses don't teach martial arts, the aim is to prevent situations

:18:38. > :18:43.escalating to the point of violence, so that priests, and in this case,

:18:43. > :18:48.their wives and husbands, are equipped to deal with the problems.

:18:48. > :18:53.If you are aware you are on your own in that vicarage, you are

:18:53. > :18:57.putting yourself at danger. Say "no", but give an alternative.

:18:57. > :19:04.For many, that may feel as if it goes against the core beliefs, but

:19:04. > :19:08.controlling the open door policy may protect them from serious harm.

:19:08. > :19:12.A police officer has been arrested and suspended from duty on

:19:12. > :19:15.suspicion of leaking details of the confrontation at the gates of

:19:15. > :19:18.Downing Street between the police and the former Chief Whip, Andrew

:19:18. > :19:23.Mitchell. Andrew Mitchell was accused of calling officers plebes

:19:23. > :19:26.as they would not ride his bike, something that he denies.

:19:26. > :19:30.Now let's speak with our correspondent. What more do we

:19:30. > :19:34.know? Good afternoon. Well, Andrew Mitchell has already admitted that

:19:34. > :19:38.he swore at the police officers who tried to stop him riding on his

:19:38. > :19:42.bike through the main gates of Downing Street. He apologised for

:19:42. > :19:47.that and has paid a political price, but he denies calling the officers

:19:47. > :19:51.morons and plebes, who should know their place. These are the alleged

:19:51. > :19:57.comments in a police log book about the event and those comments were

:19:57. > :20:00.leaked to two national newspapers. So the issue is who leaked that

:20:00. > :20:03.information without authorisation and Scotland Yard says that the

:20:03. > :20:08.Metropolitan Police got a fresh tip-off on Thursday about this. On

:20:08. > :20:13.Saturday they arrested a constable with the diplomatic protection

:20:13. > :20:17.group. He has been suspended and he has been bailed until next month. I

:20:17. > :20:22.should make the point that this is not one of the officers on duty,

:20:22. > :20:25.involved in the incident in Downing Street itself at the time. We have

:20:25. > :20:29.had reaction from the Police Federation saying it expresses

:20:29. > :20:31.great regrets about the decision to arrest an officer over this. It say

:20:31. > :20:37.it is hopes that justice will prevail.

:20:37. > :20:42.Thank you very much. The family of a man shot dead by

:20:42. > :20:46.police officers have urged the inquiry into his death to declare

:20:46. > :20:50.that it was an unlawful killing. Azelle Rodney died in April, 2005,

:20:50. > :20:56.after an armed officer opened fire on the car he was in. The police

:20:56. > :21:00.believed he had been armed and planning to rob a clopian drugs

:21:00. > :21:05.gang. -- Colombian. Susan Alexander

:21:05. > :21:08.described her son's killing as an execution. She had to wait seven

:21:09. > :21:13.years for the inquiry to get under way as sensitive intelligence

:21:13. > :21:17.material was involved. This has been the final day of evidence.

:21:17. > :21:21.Azelle Rodney was 24 when he was shot dead by the police in north

:21:21. > :21:25.London. One officer fired eight bullets, six hit him in the head

:21:25. > :21:30.and the body. For weeks his mother listened to

:21:30. > :21:34.scores of witnesses, including the marksman who fired the fatal shots.

:21:34. > :21:38.That officer did not give him time to put his hands up, get out or

:21:38. > :21:42.anything, you know? So, you are supposed to stop and warn somebody

:21:42. > :21:49.before you do something. He did not do that.

:21:49. > :21:55.He didn't stand a chance. This footage, filmed from a police

:21:55. > :21:59.car, recorded the shooting. The police were in pursuit of a

:21:59. > :22:02.Caruanaying three men, including Azelle Rodney. Officers were

:22:02. > :22:06.working on intelligence, that the men they were chasing were

:22:06. > :22:15.respected of being armed with machine guns and on their way to

:22:15. > :22:22.rip off a Colombian drugs gang. One officer stopped and opened fire.

:22:22. > :22:28.Sweet as... This is a reconstruction of how the car drew

:22:28. > :22:33.level with the Gulf and that officer, known only as E7, shot

:22:33. > :22:37.Azelle Rodney in the back seat. E7 told the inquiry he believed that

:22:37. > :22:42.the suspect was reaching forward for a weapon to open fire. Guns

:22:42. > :22:45.were found in the car, but not in Azelle Rodney's hand. One former

:22:45. > :22:49.Scotland Yard firearms commander, described the judgment call that

:22:49. > :22:52.the marks men have to make. The police officer is aware that

:22:52. > :22:56.the time frame that they are working to is about a quarter of a

:22:56. > :23:00.second. Now that is how long it will take, potentially, for the

:23:00. > :23:03.person in the car they are approaching to produce and to fire

:23:03. > :23:07.a weapon. The inquiry chairman will now have

:23:07. > :23:09.to decide whether the force used against Azelle Rodney was

:23:09. > :23:15.absolutely necessary. He will produce his report next

:23:15. > :23:20.year. At least nine girls have been

:23:20. > :23:24.killed and three others injured in an explosion in Afghanistan.

:23:24. > :23:29.A spokesperson for the governor of the Nangarhar province in the east

:23:29. > :23:34.said that the girls were collecting fire wood when one of them hit a

:23:34. > :23:39.landmine with an axe. The girls were said to have been aged between

:23:39. > :23:44.nine and 12. The population of Scotland has risen to its highest

:23:44. > :23:52.level. The ruls from the 2011 Census showed that the biggest rise

:23:52. > :23:55.was amongst those over 0, but also increases in those under safplt

:23:55. > :24:00.-- 15. Lorna, what do the figures tell us?

:24:00. > :24:06.Well, this is a snapshot of what life was like in Scotland on the

:24:06. > :24:09.27th of March, 2011. It throws up headline figures. The first being

:24:09. > :24:16.that after 30 years of Scotland's population being stagnant or

:24:16. > :24:20.declining, it is on the rise once again. Increasing by 233,000 to

:24:20. > :24:26.just under 5 .3 million, according to the estimates. That means that

:24:26. > :24:30.the population has increased by 5% between 20 2001 and 2011, the

:24:30. > :24:35.fastest growth rate between two sensus dates in the last century.

:24:35. > :24:41.It is also the first sensus when the number of people aged 65 and

:24:41. > :24:50.over was higher than the number aged under 15. An increase notable

:24:50. > :24:55.in people aged over 80, where the numbers have increased by 19%. Are

:24:55. > :24:59.they boring statistic? Well, they are important. They help plan where

:24:59. > :25:04.the public services are needed most. So what we know is that Scotland's

:25:04. > :25:10.population is growing older and it is increasing.

:25:10. > :25:14.Do we know why? As to the increasing, there is a couple of

:25:14. > :25:19.minor reasons, we found that out today, one is that there are more

:25:19. > :25:23.children under irthe age of five. There are also more births than

:25:23. > :25:27.deaths. You don't get the break down in the figures that you had

:25:27. > :25:31.for England and Wales, but because of earlier work, we know that the

:25:31. > :25:39.suggestion is that the vast majority of the population increase

:25:40. > :25:44.is due to migration. As to the ex ct -- exact breakdown of ethnicity

:25:44. > :25:46.and employment in Scotland, we will not find that out until the summer

:25:46. > :25:50.of next year. Thank you very much.

:25:50. > :25:54.The Tour de France winner and Olympic champion, Bradley Wiggins

:25:54. > :25:59.has been voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year. The Gold

:25:59. > :26:04.Medal winning help at that time leet, Jessica Ennis was the runner

:26:04. > :26:11.up and the US Open tennis champion, Andy Murray, came therd. More than

:26:11. > :26:17.1..5 million votes were cast last night. The five runner up got

:26:17. > :26:21.100,000 votes each, more than many previous winners.

:26:21. > :26:25.England's cricketers have won a historic victory, winning a Test

:26:25. > :26:29.Series in India for the first time in nearly 28 years. Centuries from

:26:29. > :26:34.Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell helped to secure the draw that they needed

:26:34. > :26:40.in the fourth and the final match in Nagpur to take the series 2-1.

:26:40. > :26:48.Alastair Cook said it was a special day for the team.

:26:48. > :26:53.Try, try, and try again. In India, England persevered, a slow march to

:26:53. > :26:57.history. However much the country changes, one thing remains. At home

:26:57. > :27:02.India's cricketers are expected to win. The only chance that they had

:27:02. > :27:09.of taking the Test was to grab the wickets on Monday morning. Ian Bell

:27:09. > :27:14.made the first 50 of of the series. Jonathan Trott went on and on. He

:27:14. > :27:20.was India's irritant. India were not amused. Trt Jonathan Trott

:27:20. > :27:23.thrives on this situation. At lunch England were nearly 250 runs ahead.

:27:23. > :27:32.Ian Bell and Jonathan Trott still together. There was not time for

:27:32. > :27:37.India to bowl England out again. India's tactic of beating England

:27:37. > :27:43.by spin unravelled. The overwhelming win in the first Test

:27:43. > :27:47.seemed like a dream. Ian Bell helped himself, but England were

:27:47. > :27:52.patient. They were hopeless against spin bowling at the start of the

:27:52. > :27:57.year. Was Kevin Pietersen at home in the dressing room again? It

:27:57. > :28:02.looked like it. Jonathan Trott fell for 143, there was time for Ian

:28:02. > :28:07.Bell to get to 100. Then the two teams agreed to a draw and the

:28:07. > :28:10.series went to England. The new captain had done what no England

:28:10. > :28:16.can't has managed for nearly 30 years.

:28:16. > :28:20.It has been an incredible tour. To end it like we did today, to

:28:20. > :28:24.convincingly bat out, it was a nervous dressing room, knowing how

:28:24. > :28:28.close we were to doing see so special, but to do it as convincing

:28:28. > :28:34.I -- convincingly as we did, it was incredible.

:28:34. > :28:39.This is the kind of result that careers are defined by.

:28:39. > :28:43.Now let's have a look at the weather. Louise is here. It is

:28:43. > :28:47.weather. Louise is here. It is brollies up, I'm afraid.

:28:47. > :28:52.Some of vus seen sunshine, but I suspect that the story is for --

:28:52. > :28:56.some of us have seen sunshine today, but I suspect that the showers will

:28:56. > :28:59.be becoming more widespread. So far the showers have been over North

:28:59. > :29:03.Wales, north-west England and stretching into the north-east of

:29:03. > :29:08.Scotland. There is a cluster of a shower

:29:08. > :29:12.cloud. The two weather fronts are straddled either side of northern

:29:12. > :29:16.Britain. If you don't have the showers it is grey and damp, but

:29:16. > :29:21.there are breaks into the central and the southern areas. You cling

:29:21. > :29:25.on to the best of the sunshine. Then the showers becoming more

:29:25. > :29:30.widespread. By the middle of the afternoon pushing into the south-

:29:30. > :29:35.west. Highs of 10 Celsius, but come showers could be sharp. A cluster

:29:35. > :29:39.of showers over Wales. More waiting out in the wings to push to the

:29:39. > :29:45.west and the east. For Northern Ireland, not a bad

:29:45. > :29:51.afternoon. About seven Celsius. Staying cloudy, but also dry. The

:29:51. > :29:55.same tie for the Great Glen. There are the showers into parts of

:29:55. > :29:59.Aberdeenshire and to the north-west of the Pennines. Some starting to

:29:59. > :30:03.migrate to the east. If you continue to see sunny spells in

:30:03. > :30:06.East Anglia and the London area, I suspect for the evening rush hour

:30:06. > :30:12.some of the showers could be frequent as they continue to drive

:30:12. > :30:17.to the west and the east. Accompanied by strong winds in the

:30:17. > :30:21.south-west, this at the -- they could be up to 50 miles an hour. In

:30:21. > :30:28.the evening, clearer skies to the west and in the Northern Ireland

:30:28. > :30:33.and in Scotland freeze ing fog and icy surfaces.

:30:33. > :30:37.If the fog lingers that will affect the temperatures, further western

:30:37. > :30:43.areas seeing the best of the brightness. A quiet day on Tuesday.

:30:43. > :30:49.More cloud into the south-east than today. Highs of five to 10 Celsius,

:30:49. > :30:54.but all change for Wednesday. More wet and windy weather arriving.

:30:54. > :30:57.Some significant rainfall likely. The potential may be for up to 30

:30:57. > :31:04.millimetres of rain into the south- west. That is pushing to the north

:31:04. > :31:11.and the east. A wet day in prospect. The highs looking about five to 12

:31:11. > :31:13.Celsius. There are more details on the weather online or join me live
