David Cameron is in Mumbai leading the largest trade delegation taken

:00:06.:00:11.

overseas by a British Prime Minister. He says he wants to

:00:11.:00:14.

double trade with India by 2015 and ease visa restrictions on business

:00:14.:00:23.

people and students coming to the UK. I am live at the gateway to

:00:23.:00:27.

India in Mumbai, where David Cameron will also have to deal with

:00:27.:00:32.

some trickier trade issues, as well. I don't need to keep on telling you

:00:32.:00:37.

I love you, you know it. Do you? Richard Briers - the actor known to

:00:37.:00:41.

millions for his role in The Good Life - has died at the age of 79.

:00:41.:00:43.

Supermarkets are to be quizzed about what there're doing to

:00:44.:00:49.

reassure shoppers in the wake of the horsemeat scandal.

:00:49.:00:52.

News on the BBC is being disrupted by a 24-hour journalists' strike

:00:52.:00:59.

over compulsory redundancies. And, meet Alvin - the submarine

:01:09.:01:18.

exploring unchartered waters at the bottom of the sea. Good afternoon

:01:18.:01:22.

and welcome to the BBC news at one. David Cameron is in India this

:01:22.:01:25.

lunchtime for a three-day visit aimed at doubling trade with the

:01:25.:01:29.

country by 2015. The Prime Minister said he hoped the trip would open

:01:29.:01:32.

doors for British business and he promised to ease visa restrictions

:01:32.:01:38.

on business people and students coming to the UK. My colleague Jon

:01:38.:01:45.

Sopel is in Mumbai. Welcome to perhaps India's most

:01:45.:01:51.

famous landmark, The Gateway to India, the most famous landmark in

:01:51.:01:53.

Mumbai and David Cameron is hoping this is going to be the gateway

:01:54.:01:57.

through which British goods will start flowing more freely because

:01:57.:01:59.

there are problems of protectionism to deal with and problems of

:01:59.:02:03.

corruption. But David Cameron is determined to put that behind him

:02:03.:02:06.

as he has brought with him a delegation of businessmen, both

:02:06.:02:10.

from huge enterprises and much smaller ones, in the hope that

:02:10.:02:16.

trade can be doubled by 2015. Let's get this report now from our deputy

:02:16.:02:21.

political editor James Landale. It's now more than two years since

:02:21.:02:26.

David Cameron last stepped down in India. While his task remains the

:02:26.:02:34.

same, to bang the Birmingham for British -- the drum for British

:02:34.:02:39.

business, it's on track to double trade by 2015 but that would still

:02:39.:02:42.

be less by how much Belgium trades here. There is more to do, he says,

:02:42.:02:46.

to close the gap between the two countries. That's why Mr Cameron

:02:46.:02:50.

arrived with what Downing Street says is the largest trade

:02:50.:02:53.

delegation any British Prime Minister has taken abroad. More

:02:53.:02:57.

than 100 chief executives and education bosses to make the case

:02:57.:03:01.

for British expertise and business. As far as I am concerned the sky is

:03:01.:03:05.

the limit. It's about... But it to do that he said India would have to

:03:05.:03:08.

start opening up more of its markets, particularly in banking

:03:08.:03:14.

and insurance to allow British companies in. It's now more than

:03:14.:03:18.

120 years since this company first sold its first bar of soap to the

:03:18.:03:24.

Indians here in Mumbai. And look at it now. This is Unilever, exactly

:03:24.:03:26.

the kind of experience that the Prime Minister wants to see

:03:27.:03:31.

replicated across India, small British companies coming here and

:03:31.:03:36.

selling to India and expanding and ending up like this. For the people

:03:36.:03:41.

he promised easier access to Britain, with a one-day fast-track

:03:41.:03:45.

visa for businessmen and no limit on student numbers which have

:03:45.:03:49.

fallen since non-EU immigration was capped. We want to have a proper

:03:49.:03:55.

policy of controlled immigration. We want to make sure that we are

:03:55.:03:58.

attracting at the same time the best and the brightest so we do

:03:58.:04:02.

want to see Indian university students and there's no limit on

:04:02.:04:06.

those that come if they have a university place. You say you want

:04:06.:04:10.

a special relationship with India but does India want a special

:04:10.:04:14.

relationship with Britain? Half of Indian investment into Europe, half,

:04:14.:04:19.

comes to Britain and Britain is now the largest European investor in to

:04:19.:04:23.

India. I think the basis for that special relationship and

:04:23.:04:26.

partnership is absolutely there. Cameron says he wants Britain to

:04:26.:04:31.

have a great partnership with India in the 21st century. But with Delhi

:04:31.:04:36.

buying French jets and delaying British helicopter deals, it's a

:04:36.:04:44.

relationship that still needs some work.

:04:44.:04:47.

Particularly tiring if you have just come off an overnight flight

:04:47.:04:50.

like you have, James, travelling with the Prime Minister. Yes, there

:04:50.:04:56.

are opportunities but there are also problems in terms of the

:04:56.:04:59.

Westland deal and other issues. That's the problem with this, there

:04:59.:05:04.

are a lot of opportunities for Britain here in terms of huge

:05:04.:05:07.

expanding education market, healthcare, energy across the piece.

:05:07.:05:12.

All of these people are represented in this massive delegation. The

:05:12.:05:16.

problem is that this is the Prime Minister's second trip, there have

:05:16.:05:19.

been other delegations of different groups and it's very hard going.

:05:19.:05:22.

Because since the Prime Minister made his first trip here flush with

:05:22.:05:27.

victory in the early days of 2010 there have been big deals and they

:05:27.:05:30.

haven't gone Britain's way. You mentioned the deal over fighter

:05:30.:05:33.

jets. The French managed to sell their jets which which we have seen

:05:33.:05:36.

in evidence in Mali in recent months, that deal at the moment

:05:36.:05:39.

still potentially could go through. The Prime Minister making clear

:05:39.:05:44.

that when he sees the Indian prime Minister he will say that the

:05:44.:05:47.

British typhoon is still available if India likes to go that way. Also

:05:48.:05:56.

on another issue, we had a big deal to sell 12 helicopters made in

:05:56.:06:00.

Yeovil, jobs relying on these, and that deal is on hold amid

:06:00.:06:04.

allegations of bribery. Businessmen say there is a lot of politics in

:06:04.:06:10.

this, this situation might settle but for now very worrying.

:06:10.:06:13.

briefly, just as there are British delegations, it was two days ago

:06:13.:06:17.

that the French President was here. You know, we are not the only

:06:17.:06:20.

people saying look we can do business with you. That's the

:06:20.:06:28.

really interesting question. It's almost as if we are coming here as

:06:28.:06:31.

supplicants. We are on bended knee, we say we need India. The Prime

:06:31.:06:34.

Minister says, can you be our partner of choice? In other words,

:06:34.:06:38.

India has a choice. We don't. you very much.

:06:38.:06:42.

Full coverage from here in Mumbai throughout the day. For now, back

:06:42.:06:49.

to the studio. One of our most popular television

:06:49.:06:52.

actors, Richard Briers, has died at the age of 79. He was most famous

:06:52.:06:56.

for his role as Tom in The Good Life, one of the best loved sitcoms

:06:56.:06:59.

of its era, which made him a household name. He was also a

:06:59.:07:02.

distinguished stage actor, taking on classical roles such as King

:07:02.:07:07.

Lear and Uncle Vanya. He had been suffering from emphysema.

:07:07.:07:13.

You are not starting... You are an attractive woman. I am not. Yes,

:07:13.:07:21.

you are. I tell you something else, you have a very sexy neck. You have

:07:21.:07:27.

never seen my neck. Richard Briers and Penelope Keith in a scene from

:07:27.:07:33.

The Good Life. The show was originally written as

:07:33.:07:37.

a vehicle for Richard Briers, a sign of his reputation in the 1970s

:07:37.:07:43.

as one of Britain's finest comic actors. In the brilliant cast he

:07:43.:07:53.
:07:53.:07:54.

played the infuturating but endearing Tom Good. It's me, Margo.

:07:54.:07:59.

Morning. Yes you are correct, it is you. He started acting in the RAF.

:07:59.:08:04.

At drama school he shone playing hamlet, no less. I got a notice

:08:04.:08:09.

from Darlington, a critic in The Telegraph. He said, last night

:08:09.:08:14.

Richard Briers played the part of Hamlet like a demented typewriter.

:08:14.:08:18.

I spoke very fast. His nervous energy and machine-gun delivery

:08:18.:08:28.
:08:28.:08:28.

brought him work on television. He became a household name in Marriage

:08:28.:08:36.

Lines. It isn't a pie. It's a stew. It was quite like Tom Good in The

:08:36.:08:41.

Good Life, I played myself. Highly strung, nervous, rather stupid.

:08:41.:08:45.

Desperate to get things right and getting them wrong, the usual thing.

:08:45.:08:51.

After The Good Life he began to stretch himself, in restoration

:08:51.:08:58.

comedy in Chichester and in in Shakespeare. We are the quickest

:08:59.:09:08.
:09:09.:09:16.

Hamlet on record. You yourself, Sir, shall grow old as I am, if like a...

:09:16.:09:22.

Brannagh directed him as King Leer and in films.

:09:22.:09:27.

A man shouldn't have to hide in the shadows.

:09:27.:09:33.

That's never your slip. He movingly played a man who

:09:33.:09:39.

discovers his wife wife suffering from Alzheimer's is being abused.

:09:39.:09:44.

Never came trouble to my house in the likeness of your grace.

:09:44.:09:49.

films like Much To do About Nothing confirmed, he was more than a comic

:09:49.:09:53.

actor, it wasn't until late in his career he got the chance to show

:09:53.:10:03.
:10:03.:10:05.

how much more. Let's stir the stock.

:10:05.:10:07.

The bosses of Britain's leading supermarkets face tough questioning

:10:07.:10:10.

from the Government within the next hour about the horsemeat in beef

:10:10.:10:13.

scandal. They'll be asked by the Environment Secretary, Owen

:10:13.:10:16.

Paterson, about what they're doing to reassure shoppers. Our

:10:16.:10:19.

correspondent Simon Clemison reports. This afternoon, Tesco,

:10:19.:10:23.

ASDA, Morrisons and Sainsbury's are confirmed to be among those who

:10:23.:10:27.

will be pressed further about what action they're taking to tackle the

:10:27.:10:30.

widening horsemeat scandal. Not all supermarkets have had to remove

:10:30.:10:34.

products from shelves but even so tests are are being carried out

:10:34.:10:37.

across the industry. More results, this time commissioned by the

:10:37.:10:40.

retailers, showing whether horse has made its way into processed

:10:40.:10:44.

beef are due out on Friday. It's not the first time the food

:10:44.:10:48.

industry has been called here to the office since the horsemeat

:10:48.:10:51.

scandal began. Another day, another meeting, but that is the point. The

:10:51.:10:55.

department is trying to keep up the pressure on the retailers who it

:10:55.:10:59.

says are responsible for making sure what they say on the packets

:10:59.:11:06.

they sell is actually what's inside. Restoringer consume confidence is

:11:07.:11:10.

convenient as vital. The latest poll suggests almost a quarter of

:11:10.:11:12.

shoppers will buy less processed meat in the future.

:11:12.:11:17.

I will definitely be buying meat from the butchers and an

:11:18.:11:20.

established butcher. It's absolutely appalling to think that

:11:20.:11:23.

they've been giving us horsemeat. The way this food has been moved

:11:23.:11:27.

around Europe, from country to country, I am really more inclined

:11:27.:11:31.

to buy local so I know it's from this country. Probably from the

:11:31.:11:36.

local area. Not everything is what's actually on the lid. At

:11:36.:11:41.

least you know it's fresh here, it's local. It's real. The journey

:11:41.:11:44.

our meat takes from the field to the plate is complex. Sometimes

:11:44.:11:48.

passing through a number of companies and countries. News has

:11:48.:11:51.

emerged this morning of raids at more than 100 businesses in the

:11:51.:11:57.

Netherlands, as Europe, too, faces up to the crisis. It's clear now

:11:57.:12:00.

that the retailers are taking responsibility for the products

:12:00.:12:05.

that they sell. That's very, very logical. But I do think that the

:12:05.:12:09.

Government has a role in policing what those retailers are doing,

:12:09.:12:12.

just to make sure that the standards are maintained.

:12:12.:12:16.

The habits of buyers, sellers, suppliers and regulators may be

:12:16.:12:25.

about to change. A man's gone on trial in Tenerife

:12:25.:12:28.

this morning accused of murdering and beheading a British woman in a

:12:28.:12:30.

knife attack on the island. Jennifer Mills-Westley was killed

:12:30.:12:33.

in the popular resort of Los Cristianos in the Canary Islands in

:12:33.:12:42.

May 2011. A Bulgarian man, Deyan Deyanov, is charged with her murder.

:12:42.:12:45.

The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges - which represents almost

:12:45.:12:49.

every doctor in the UK - says extra taxes on fizzy drinks are needed to

:12:49.:12:52.

tackle a growing crisis in obesity levels. The academy is also backing

:12:52.:12:55.

a ban on junk food adverts while children are watching television.

:12:55.:12:57.

Our correspondent James Gallacher reports.

:12:57.:13:01.

We live in one of the fattest countries in the world, almost one

:13:01.:13:06.

in every four of us is obese. According to the bodies which

:13:06.:13:10.

represent nearly 200,000 doctors in the UK, our waistlines are already

:13:10.:13:16.

a national crisis. The 21 medical organisations are putting fizzy

:13:16.:13:20.

drinks at the heart of their attack on the way we consume junk food.

:13:20.:13:23.

They say pop should not be part of our daily diet and condemn a

:13:23.:13:28.

culture which makes it acceptable to slurp a litre of it at the

:13:28.:13:33.

cinema. Suingary drinks, we don't them to survive, they're water and

:13:33.:13:37.

sugar and calories. Let's put a tax on those to encourage people to

:13:37.:13:40.

drink more healthy drinks. Doctors are calling for the price of fizzy

:13:40.:13:45.

drinks to go up by at least 20%. They also want to see adverts for

:13:45.:13:50.

foods high in fat, sugar or salt banished from daytime television

:13:50.:13:54.

and relegated to after the 9.00pm watershed. The report says action

:13:54.:13:57.

as tough as that used to curb smoking may be necessary to help

:13:57.:14:01.

the nation beat the bulge. It suggests fast food outlets near

:14:01.:14:05.

schools and leisure centres should be forced to close and extra money

:14:05.:14:11.

should be made available for weight-loss surgery. These

:14:11.:14:14.

recommendations seem unlikely to be adopted soon, however. The

:14:14.:14:18.

Government says its focus is on working with the food industry to

:14:18.:14:28.
:14:28.:14:28.

get companies to voluntarily reduce the calorie content of their food.

:14:28.:14:31.

The BBC has apologised for any disruption to its broadcasts today

:14:31.:14:34.

as journalists stage a 24-hour strike over job cuts. Members of

:14:34.:14:36.

the National Union of Journalists have walked out in protest against

:14:36.:14:39.

compulsory redundancies and picket lines have been set up outside a

:14:39.:14:49.

number of BBC offices. Jon Williams reports. Radio afpb T -- and TV

:14:49.:14:55.

output is disrupted today bay strike. -- by a strike.

:14:55.:14:58.

The BBC's new Broadcasting House headquarters Radio 4's Today

:14:58.:15:02.

programme was one of the early casualties as many regular news

:15:02.:15:06.

programmes were cancelled. Members of the National Union of

:15:06.:15:10.

Journalists are protesting at the BBC's decision to make compulsory

:15:10.:15:15.

redundancies. Staff at BBC Scotland are among those at risk. In Glasgow,

:15:15.:15:21.

they mounted a picket line outside key studios. Pickets were on duty

:15:22.:15:27.

too at Salford but many programmes on Radio 5 Live and most non-news

:15:27.:15:30.

programmes elsewhere have continued. The BBC says it's disappointed the

:15:30.:15:34.

union has taken strike action on it's apologised to audiences for

:15:34.:15:38.

the disruption to services. It says industrial action can't alter the

:15:38.:15:42.

fact it has significant savings targets and it says it's made

:15:42.:15:46.

considerable progress in reducing the need for compulsory

:15:46.:15:50.

redundancies using volunteers and redeployment.

:15:50.:15:59.

The NUV says it's taking action in Belfast -- NUV says NUJ says it's

:16:00.:16:09.
:16:10.:16:13.

Also for the future of the BBC and the quality broadcasting that we

:16:13.:16:17.

think the public deserve. Union members walked out at midnight.

:16:17.:16:20.

Managers and other staff are working to produce some programmes.

:16:20.:16:25.

The strike is due to end later tonight.

:16:25.:16:30.

It's now 1.16pm. Our top story this lunch time: David Cameron is in

:16:30.:16:34.

Mumbai with what Downing Street says is the largest trade

:16:34.:16:38.

delegation taken overseas by a British Prime Minister.

:16:38.:16:44.

And coming up: A rare glimpse of life 4,000 years ago.

:16:44.:16:53.

Archaeologists make a significant find on Dartmoor.

:16:53.:16:58.

The tiny three-man submarine Alvin has been the work horse of

:16:58.:17:02.

underwater research for nearly 50 years, finding new life forms and

:17:02.:17:08.

advancing our understanding of the underwater world. Now it's getting

:17:08.:17:15.

a revamp. Pallab Ghosh has been given a sneak preview.

:17:15.:17:18.

The Alvin, a submarine that explored more of the deep sea than

:17:19.:17:24.

any other research vessel. It can take a crew of two scientists and a

:17:24.:17:28.

pilot deep into the seas midnight zone, where no sunlight can

:17:28.:17:34.

penetrate. But so far, it's only been able to dive 4,500 metres and

:17:34.:17:38.

so not able to explore the very depths of the ocean. Now it's

:17:38.:17:44.

having an upgrade that will enable it to go much deeper. At its heart

:17:44.:17:51.

a new cockpit for the crew, an air- tight sphere forged from 15.5

:17:51.:17:58.

metric tons of titanium. At 6500 metres it will be about 10,000psi,

:17:58.:18:04.

which is like putting your average house on your big toe, 10,000

:18:04.:18:10.

pounds her square inch at the rate the depth. The sphere is about

:18:10.:18:15.

three inches thick and a special titanium material to with stand

:18:15.:18:17.

those pressures. The scientists enter the submarine through this

:18:17.:18:26.

hatch. Let's look at what's inside. I'm now entering what they call the

:18:26.:18:30.

personnel sphere. It's from here that they'll be able to see the

:18:30.:18:34.

very bottom of the sea, discovering new life and seeing sights that no-

:18:34.:18:40.

one has seen before. The new cockpit is slightly larger than the

:18:40.:18:46.

old one. It has new instruments and five viewing windows. Alvin began

:18:46.:18:50.

service nearly 50 years ago as well as charting the sea floor it

:18:50.:18:59.

located a lost hydrogen bomb in the Mediterranean sea in 1966. Susan

:18:59.:19:02.

Humphreys has been on board during some of the greatest scientific

:19:02.:19:05.

discoverries. Now it will soon be able to explore nearly all the sea

:19:05.:19:10.

bed, what does she expect to find next? I think we could discover

:19:10.:19:15.

many different, new sorts of marine life. We could discover new

:19:15.:19:19.

geological processes and we will be going to places that we have never

:19:19.:19:23.

been before. I have no doubt that we will be making new discoverries

:19:24.:19:30.

when we go there. Once its refit is complete next month, Alvin will set

:19:30.:19:35.

off on new missions sending scientists to explore uncharted

:19:35.:19:42.

waters at the bottom of the sea. The Foreign Office is investigating

:19:42.:19:46.

reports that a Briton is one of seven construction workers

:19:46.:19:50.

kidnapped in northern Nigeria. They were taken by gunmen who attacked a

:19:50.:19:58.

residential compound at Bauchi. A security guard was shot dead in the

:19:58.:20:04.

raid. Our correspondent is in Lagos. What more do we know? The latest

:20:04.:20:08.

we're hearing about this is a statement E-mailed to journalists

:20:08.:20:14.

from a group known which is a group listed by the UK as a terrorist

:20:14.:20:20.

organisation. Ansaru say they have seven workers from this

:20:20.:20:23.

construction company including several foreigners. They say

:20:23.:20:28.

they've taken these people because of atrocities committed by European

:20:28.:20:35.

countries against Islam. Now Ansaru kidnapped a Frenchman in December

:20:35.:20:38.

defence of Muslims. Thank you. The President of Venezuela, Hugo

:20:51.:20:54.

Chavez, says he's returning to the country to continue his Medsical

:20:54.:21:01.

treatment. In three messages posted on the Twitter, he thanked the

:21:01.:21:07.

President of Cuba and Venezuela for his support. He was dying nosed

:21:07.:21:13.

with cancer in 2011 and went to Cuba for surgery last year.

A new UN report on alleged human rights violations says both

:21:17.:21:20.

Government forces and opposition groups are guilty of war crimes and

:21:20.:21:23.

crimes against humanity. The report, which covers the six months from

:21:23.:21:28.

July of last year until January this year, will be submitted to the

:21:28.:21:35.

UN Human Rights Council next week. Let's get more fromer -- from our

:21:35.:21:38.

Middle East correspondent. Is this a surprise? You could say it's more

:21:38.:21:43.

of the same, but it does point to over the past six months, some very

:21:43.:21:47.

severe reasons why there has been this constant deterioration into

:21:47.:21:51.

what is now calling a war of attrition that is getting worse by

:21:51.:21:55.

the day. It identifies some elements such as the fact that the

:21:55.:21:58.

government is now using warplanes to bomb rebel-held areas, where

:21:58.:22:03.

there are civilians trapped. There are more and more foreign fighters,

:22:03.:22:07.

radicals moving in. That has changed the nature of the conflict.

:22:07.:22:11.

This adds up to a situation where civilians are increasingly exposed

:22:11.:22:15.

and it says that it's not just as individuals. It says that society

:22:15.:22:20.

is being torn apart in a way that will affect future generations. So

:22:20.:22:26.

it's making a very grim picture of abuses by both sides. Why it does

:22:26.:22:30.

name the rebels for what it calls some war crimes, things like

:22:30.:22:34.

torturing and killing prisoners and so on, it shows there is an

:22:34.:22:41.

imbalance. The government is doing much more. It's sift matly using

:22:41.:22:46.

violence -- system atically using violence against civilians rape and

:22:46.:22:54.

so on and using heavy equipment in what it calls a system attic attack

:22:54.:22:57.

against civilians. That's crimes against humanity not just war

:22:57.:23:02.

crimes. It is saying both sides are accountable or should be

:23:02.:23:05.

accountable for the abuses they're committing. But there's no real

:23:05.:23:10.

sign of that happening though it is trying to refer it to the

:23:10.:23:13.

international Criminal Court, something that's blocked by the

:23:13.:23:19.

Russians an Chinese. It's taken 4,000 years but one of

:23:19.:23:23.

Britain's most mysterious wildernesss is finally giving up

:23:23.:23:27.

its secrets. Dartmoor is famous for its prehistoric stone monuments,

:23:27.:23:31.

but little is known about the Bronze Age people who built them. A

:23:31.:23:34.

chance discovery is now giving important new insight into their

:23:34.:23:39.

everyday lives. On the high hills of Dartmoor you

:23:40.:23:44.

can find the essence of ancient Britain. There are cosmically

:23:44.:23:51.

aligned standing stones, enigmatic granite rows and more than 5,000

:23:51.:23:58.

hut circles, glimpses of a vibrant Bronze Age community. The evidence

:23:58.:24:04.

that people lived and died here for thousands of years is as solid as

:24:04.:24:09.

the granite of this ancient burial tomb. But how they live sd shrouded

:24:09.:24:13.

in mystery because time, grave robbers and Dartmoor's acid soil

:24:13.:24:19.

have destroyed so much, like their clothes and jowlery. -- jewellery.

:24:19.:24:22.

18 months ago a chance discovery promised to shine a light on that

:24:22.:24:32.
:24:32.:24:33.

mystery. A previously unknown and undisturbed burial chamber. Inside,

:24:33.:24:39.

cremated human remains wrapped in an animal pelt. A delicate bracelet

:24:40.:24:46.

studed with beads and a woven bag, a scan hinting as more treasures

:24:46.:24:50.

win. Today archaeologists are hoping to reveal its secrets.

:24:50.:24:54.

level of preservation is amazing. To find an object like this with

:24:54.:24:59.

contents still in tact is fantastic. It's a very exciting day. Hopefully

:24:59.:25:06.

it's always -- all going to go well. Hidden in the mud is evidence of

:25:06.:25:10.

trading. A glint of orange says there's an amber bead in here,

:25:11.:25:16.

which can only have come from overseas. Then this, the first of

:25:16.:25:21.

two wooden ear studs believed to be the first ever found from this

:25:21.:25:25.

period. Very excited, you know, I've worked in Dartmoor for over 20

:25:25.:25:28.

years and never would have anticipated anything like this.

:25:28.:25:34.

It's fine to go digging but if you're not at the sharp end like we

:25:34.:25:39.

are here. For archaeologists these finds are just the start, important

:25:39.:25:42.

in themselves, but an exciting indication that many more treasures,

:25:42.:25:50.

thought lost, lie still to be discovered under Dartmoor's skies.

:25:50.:25:54.

This is BBC News. Time for a look at the weather now.

:26:09.:26:12.

Very good afternoon to you. If you've been out and about in most

:26:12.:26:15.

parts of the country I'm sure you will have worked out by now things

:26:15.:26:20.

haven't turned out too badly with decent sunshine. Bit end of the

:26:20.:26:23.

week though, things are going to look very different. It turns

:26:23.:26:27.

colder through the next few days with increasing cloud and

:26:27.:26:30.

eventually a biting easterly wind. Make the most of the sunshine if

:26:30.:26:34.

you've got it. Most places have got it this afternoon. As you can see,

:26:34.:26:38.

more in the way of cloud across parts of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire

:26:38.:26:41.

down into East Anglia. It will linger here for the afternoon. In

:26:41.:26:45.

most places blue skies and sunshine are the order of the day. Top

:26:45.:26:48.

temperatures of six to nine degrees in relatively light winds. It feels

:26:48.:26:54.

fairly pleasant out there. Theek and tonight, where we have clear

:26:54.:26:58.

skies, temperatures will plunge. This indicates a widespread frost.

:26:58.:27:02.

We'll see some dense fog patches forming particularly in central,

:27:02.:27:07.

eastern and southern parts of England. City temperatures around

:27:07.:27:10.

freezing and in the countryside lower than that. Fog could be a

:27:10.:27:13.

headache across central and south- eastern parts tomorrow morning.

:27:13.:27:15.

This fog could be dense enough to cause some travel headaches. It

:27:15.:27:19.

will be a cold start to the day. Temperatures likely to be below

:27:19.:27:22.

freezing in London, for example, at this stage of the morning. For much

:27:22.:27:26.

of the South West and Wales a few fog patches, but lots of brightness

:27:26.:27:30.

here. Bright and cold for northern England. A little more cloud for

:27:30.:27:32.

the western side of Northern Ireland, more cloud across

:27:32.:27:36.

Aberdeenshire. Here a mostly dry, bright and cold start to the day.

:27:36.:27:41.

Through the day, it will be the eastern areas that hold onto more

:27:41.:27:45.

in the way of cloud. Elsewhere, most of the mist and fog should

:27:45.:27:49.

lift. It will linger for a while across southern parts. Even here it

:27:49.:27:53.

should brighten up. For most we see a good deal of sunshine. Still

:27:53.:27:55.

relatively light winds. Temperatures of five to nine

:27:55.:27:58.

degrees. Still feeling pleasant for the time being. That is all going

:27:58.:28:02.

to change tomorrow night. This cold front is going to ease its way in

:28:02.:28:05.

from the east. It will drag a lot of cloud in with it, the odd spot

:28:05.:28:10.

of rain. It's also going to drag some much colder air with it. As

:28:10.:28:14.

that spreads across much of the country to start Wednesday, a very

:28:14.:28:18.

different looking and feeling day. A lot more cloud around. The best

:28:18.:28:22.

of any brightness around western fringes and it is going to feel

:28:22.:28:26.

chilly. Temperatures take a tumble, two to six degrees is the best in

:28:26.:28:30.

most places. On Thursday, we add into the equation a brisk easterly

:28:30.:28:33.

wind, particularly in the south. That will make it feel raw. Where

:28:33.:28:38.

this cloud is at its thickest, could give the odd light snow

:28:38.:28:41.

flurries. Temperatures just two to four degrees at best. Pig changes

:28:41.:28:43.

on the way. If you have the sunshine now, make the most of it

:28:44.:28:46.

sunshine now, make the most of it because it isn't going to last.

:28:46.:28:51.

Thank you very much. Now for a reminder of our top
