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. | |

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 | :00:59. | :01:09. | |
: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. | |
in northern Nigeria shortly after France's intervention in Mali. This | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
group say a lot of what it's doing is against Western countries and in | :20:43. | :20:51. | |
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. | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
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. | |

Inside Out tonight at 7.30pm on BBC One and it will also be on the BBCi | :25:59. | :26:06. | |
player. This is BBC News. | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
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. | |
