:02:24. > :02:28.It was a day of high drama in the courtroom here. First, as the
:02:28. > :02:32.detective, the lead detective investigating the killing at Oscar
:02:32. > :02:36.Pistorius's house laid out his case and said he believed the athlete
:02:36. > :02:41.was guilty of murder. But then under a withering cross-examination
:02:41. > :02:49.he was forced to concede that he had no evidence to that effect. My

:03:16. > :03:18.of what happened last week. -- conflicting. The state said it was
:03:18. > :03:21.premeditated murder. Oscar Pistorius said nothing could be
:03:21. > :03:28.further from the truth. Today the senior police investigating officer
:03:28. > :03:30.described how he arrived at Oscar Pistorius's house at 4.15 last
:03:30. > :03:33.Thursday morning. He found Reeva Steenkamp dead. Her body was
:03:33. > :03:37.covered in towels. The police officer said four shots had been
:03:37. > :03:42.fired through a toilet door. Three of them had struck Miss Steenkamp,
:03:42. > :03:46.one in the head. A gun was recovered from the bathroom as well
:03:47. > :03:52.as a cricket bat. Yesterday, Oscar Pistorius said in an affidavit,
:03:52. > :03:56.that he used the bat it break down the locked bathroom door when his
:03:56. > :04:00.girlfriend had been inside. The investigating officer also said two
:04:00. > :04:03.botyefls testosterone and needles had been found in the house. --
:04:03. > :04:06.bottles of. The defence said it was not
:04:06. > :04:10.testosterone but a herbal remedy used by athletes and it is not
:04:10. > :04:13.banned. This is only a bail hearing but it is taking on the appearance
:04:13. > :04:17.of a full-blown trial with a torrent of evidence being laid
:04:17. > :04:24.before the court it. May not be until the end of the week that
:04:24. > :04:28.Oscar Pistorius learns whether he is granted bail.

:04:32. > :04:36.his cells. He will be back here tomorrow where it is very likely,
:04:36. > :04:41.according to many experts, that the magistrate will make a decision.
:04:41. > :04:48.Judging from the magistrate's tone in court today where he scoffed or
:04:48. > :04:52.appeared to scoff at the idea that an Olympic athlete would flee the

:10:58. > :11:02.No-one doubts there is economic benefits from it. What we doubt is
:11:02. > :11:06.the credibility of the Chancellor's economic mathematics. Of course we
:11:06. > :11:09.would have liked more money. In the forecasts were by independent
:11:09. > :11:13.experts. And they have to carry a health warning with them. You don't
:11:13. > :11:19.know until you see the receipts, what you will get. Among today's
:11:19. > :11:23.auction winners, BT, which will use 4G to boost its public Wi-Fi
:11:23. > :11:29.hotspots and the four big mobile networks. They must now convince
:11:29. > :11:33.consumers that it is worth signing up to a faster future.
:11:33. > :11:36.Let's look at the political aspects of this with Iain Watson at
:11:36. > :11:40.Westminster. In terms of the money raised, how much of a political
:11:40. > :11:45.blow is this for the Chancellor? think it is quite clear that �1
:11:45. > :11:50.billion sounds like an awful lot of money, but compared to aroundeds
:11:50. > :11:54.700 billion of Government spending, it is relatively small change --
:11:54. > :11:58.around �700 billion. I don't think economically it is disaster for the
:11:58. > :12:02.Government. The cost will be political. Reason for that is that
:12:02. > :12:07.as we heard back in December the Chancellor was able it stand up in
:12:07. > :12:10.the House of Commons and say borrowing was going down and not up
:12:10. > :12:14.but wrong-footed the Opposition and indeed many independent
:12:14. > :12:19.commentators. That was in part, due to the fact that he was factoring
:12:19. > :12:23.in raising �3.5 billion from the sale of the 4G spectrum. He has
:12:23. > :12:26.obviously got less than that. Labour are creating a political row
:12:26. > :12:32.at Westminster saying he has been involved in financial trickery and
:12:32. > :12:36.smog and mirrors. The Government's de-- smoke and mirrors. The
:12:36. > :12:38.Government's defence is to say the figure was independently verified
:12:38. > :12:41.by the Office of Budget Responsibility at arm's length from
:12:41. > :12:45.the Government. They in turn, however rmaking it quite clear that
:12:46. > :12:49.the figure of �3.5 billion emanated from the Government itself. That's
:12:49. > :12:52.a political row. But where the Government wants the focus to be
:12:52. > :12:57.now is into the longer-term economic benefits of 4G. They say
:12:57. > :13:03.that could bring a bst to the economy of not �1 billion but �50

:28:57. > :29:02.sunshine yesterday, you might have been out in town, enjoying the sun
:29:02. > :29:06.with your travelling copy, but now the clouds are right across the UK,

:29:18. > :29:23.days there is this process of cold air from central and eastern parts
:29:23. > :29:27.of Europe filtering our way, cold winds as well, so wind-chill is
:29:27. > :29:32.going to be a real factor over the next couple of days. For the moment,
:29:32. > :29:36.still some sunshine across north- western Scotland, not that bad, and
:29:36. > :29:39.the main focus for the cloud and any little dribs and drabs of rain
:29:39. > :29:44.is across eastern areas from Newcastle down into southeastern
:29:44. > :29:48.parts of the UK. But for example in London and the south coast, bits of
:29:48. > :29:52.sunshine coming and going. But look at western parts, quite a bright
:29:52. > :29:56.start to the day, you might have been enjoying the sunshine, but now
:29:56. > :30:00.that cloud has filtered in, come in all the way from the east, so the
:30:00. > :30:05.second half of the afternoon in Cardiff all the way up to the clean
:30:05. > :30:08.peninsula is looking cloudy. For the moment, Northern Ireland fairly
:30:08. > :30:14.bright, but then that cloud is going to be clawing its way back
:30:14. > :30:18.towards the east. The wind arrows show a breezy night, but also quite
:30:18. > :30:22.chilly. Often in this part of the world, when it is windy and cloudy
:30:22. > :30:27.we do not get a frost, but tonight is going to be different. We will
:30:27. > :30:31.see frosts developing under clear skies, so temperatures in leads
:30:31. > :30:35.down to minus one degrees, but where we have got clearer skies in
:30:35. > :30:38.western areas, that is where it could drop sharpest. Breezy

:30:42. > :30:47.filtering in from the east. Eastern areas getting more cloud than the

:30:54. > :30:58.wind coming in it will be minus and two or minus 3. This is the end of

:31:02. > :31:07.bitter wind, even a chance of, guess what, a bit of snow coming
:31:07. > :31:12.your way, affecting eastern areas of the UK. So the wind certainly
