:02:50. > :02:53.for the effects of the chemical weapons attack? Something the Obama
:02:53. > :02:57.Administration has previously said would constitute a red line. For the
:02:58. > :03:02.first time, the Americans are saying this -- they have some evidence the
:03:02. > :03:07.Syrian government may have used sarin gas. A journalist said he was

:03:31. > :03:33.administration is being cautious, talking of only a limited use of
:03:34. > :03:39.chemical weapons and saying more information and a UN investigation
:03:39. > :03:42.are needed, that this is not yet the crossing of the red line. The Obama
:03:42. > :03:46.administration has talked about a possible breakdown of command,
:03:46. > :03:53.perhaps a rogue commander has used them. Another explanation is perhaps
:03:53. > :03:58.they were used inadvertently, the explosive shells and chemical shells
:03:58. > :04:02.were mixed up, hence the usage was that way. The Obama administration

:04:25. > :04:29.images of chemical attack. But perhaps with the Iraq experience in

:07:54. > :07:57.collecting money for charity, taking in thousands of pounds from their
:07:57. > :08:05.own community. But they cheated the charity, Muslim aid, out of the

:20:48. > :20:53.different kind of MP to what I will be. I have spent my whole life here,
:20:53. > :20:56.and people know I will fight for them in Westminster if I am
:20:56. > :21:00.successful. The Conservatives have also chosen someone born in South
:21:00. > :21:06.Shields, and a born optimist, too. You would have to be to hope for
:21:06. > :21:10.victory in a seat which has not returned a single Tory MP in its 180
:21:10. > :21:14.year history. I have got 15 years of business experience in the City of
:21:14. > :21:20.London. I want to come back to my hometown because I think I can those
:21:20. > :21:24.skills here, and I want to be an advocate for enterprise, investment,
:21:24. > :21:28.to really get things going. Liberals were once the party to beat
:21:28. > :21:33.here. Mind you, that was 80 years ago. But the Liberal Democrats
:21:33. > :21:36.believe that change is possible once again. I am here to give people a
:21:36. > :21:42.real choice. A lot of people are telling me they are fed up with
:21:42. > :21:48.Labour running the place as a 1-party state. If I believed in a
:21:48. > :21:51.1-party state, I would move to North Korea. There is a new name on the
:21:51. > :21:58.high Street - UKIP has chalked up some good by-election results, but
:21:58. > :22:02.can they win one? While we are here basically to beat the coalition,
:22:02. > :22:07.that is our number one target, we are also in it to win it, and
:22:07. > :22:11.anything could possibly happen in a by-election. At the moment it is
:22:11. > :22:16.hard to send Labour blood, and history suggests the party will
:22:16. > :22:19.continue to rule the waves here next Thursday.
:22:19. > :22:29.You can find much more information about the upcoming elections on our
:22:29. > :22:33.website. So Winston Churchill is to be judged
:22:33. > :22:36.on the new �5 note. The Bank of England has announced that Britain's
:22:36. > :22:39.leader during World War II will appear on the back of the fibre
:22:39. > :22:45.together with some of his most famous words, I have nothing to
:22:45. > :22:51.offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. Luisa Baldini is at his
:22:51. > :22:56.former home and can show us, as you can see, what the note will like.
:22:56. > :22:58.Yes, here it is, unveiled by the Governor of the Bank of England this
:22:58. > :23:04.morning, and the most prominent feature of course is that portrait
:23:04. > :23:10.of Sir Winston, and then a view of Westminster, which is acknowledging
:23:10. > :23:16.that for almost 60 years Westminster was his life. And the image of the
:23:16. > :23:21.clock, the hands at three o'clock, which represents the time on the
:23:21. > :23:28.13th of May, 1940, when he delivered his first speech as Prime Minister,
:23:28. > :23:34.saying those words - I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and
:23:34. > :23:37.sweat. In the background, the image of the Nobel Prize he was awarded in
:23:37. > :23:43.1953 for literature. This is expected to come in to circulate and
:23:44. > :23:48.in 2016. It is hoped that it will be nicknamed a Winston.
:23:48. > :23:50.There is magic with a sprinkling of royal stardust going on in Watford
:23:50. > :23:57.at this lunchtime, the juke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince
:23:57. > :24:00.Harry are visiting the home of another Harry, Harry Potter. They
:24:00. > :24:04.are there to meet children and representatives of the various
:24:04. > :24:09.charities they are connected with, and to have a go at some wizardry.
:24:09. > :24:14.Nicholas Witchell has been with them.
:24:14. > :24:17.Yes, a day at the movies or at least at the studios, these �100 million
:24:17. > :24:22.studios are the first built by a Hollywood studio in the UK for some
:24:23. > :24:28.70 years. Home, as you say, to Harry Potter and the Caped Crusader,
:24:28. > :24:33.Batman, as to their delight, William and Harry discovered.
:24:33. > :24:37.It is every small boy's dream to be Batman for the day, and for two not
:24:37. > :24:43.so small boys, this was the day they could pretend it was true. One of
:24:43. > :24:50.the big film studios, here was the Caped Crusader's motorbike, just too
:24:50. > :24:54.much for William, a keen biker himself, to resist. So much for
:24:54. > :24:58.royal dignity, then! Kate seemed to think he looked chewed, Harry
:24:58. > :25:03.suggested he needed a pair of Batman years. And here was something called
:25:04. > :25:13.the Tumbler, once again it was William at the controls, and this
:25:14. > :25:16.
:25:16. > :25:21.time there was a throttle to play for whom the studios are best known,
:25:21. > :25:25.the boy wizard himself, Harry Potter. He was off on his broomstick
:25:25. > :25:29.somewhere, but his creator, JK rolling, was there. William made a
:25:29. > :25:35.speech to inaugurate the new studios, but his mind was clearly
:25:35. > :25:41.still on the capital at the back mobiles. I am over the moon to have
:25:41. > :25:47.seen the real machines. Do you do baby seats for those cars? Finally,
:25:47. > :25:52.they were shown the sets and props from the Harry Potter films,
:25:52. > :25:55.familiar characters and scenes from counters childhoods. -- countless.
:25:55. > :26:05.They are still inside, and they have been chairing a meeting of the
:26:05. > :26:08.leaders of their charities on the It is 11 days since the Boston
:26:08. > :26:11.Marathon bombing in which three people lost their lives and dozens
:26:11. > :26:16.more were injured. One of the victims, Adrianne Haslett, a
:26:16. > :26:20.ballroom dancer, lost her left foot and part of the lake after one of
:26:20. > :26:23.the bombs exploded behind her. Despite injury, she has vowed she
:26:23. > :26:27.will dance again and she wants to run in the next bar of the marathon
:26:27. > :26:31.next year. All of a sudden, we heard a loud
:26:31. > :26:40.blast, and the first bomb had gone off, and we knew just by the sheer
:26:40. > :26:43.sound of it and the smoke that it was not something that was, you
:26:43. > :26:48.know, a phone explosion of confetti or anything like that. We were
:26:48. > :26:52.terrified, and I knew at that moment that there would be another
:26:52. > :26:57.explosion, I just knew, I knew that there was no way there could just be
:26:57. > :27:04.one. We were about four Pete from where the bomb was. And we were
:27:04. > :27:12.knocked off our feet, and I remember that the S sort of... The impact of
:27:12. > :27:16.the explosion hitting my chest, and being knocked off, knocked off of
:27:16. > :27:21.our feet, and we landed in a sort of pretzel. I said, I think there is
:27:21. > :27:24.something wrong with my foot. And he looked down, and I looked down,
:27:24. > :27:34.there was blood everywhere, his legs were completely covered in blood,
:27:34. > :27:35.
:27:35. > :27:40.and my foot, my left foot, my ankle, I won't take off my shoe, I
:27:40. > :27:46.have dancer's Pete! My foot was missing from year to year. A couple
:27:46. > :27:50.of the firemen said, she has got to go, and I was screaming, I am a
:27:50. > :27:56.ballroom dancer, please save my foot. When I dance, I do not care
:27:56. > :28:02.about anything else at all. I could be having a horrible day, a horrible
:28:02. > :28:06.morning, and if I could just dance for five minutes, I would feel much
:28:06. > :28:11.better, and that is why this is hard, because I cannot just get up
:28:11. > :28:16.and dance right now. I absolutely want to dance again and will dance
:28:16. > :28:20.again, and I also want to run the marathon next year, and I have a lot
:28:20. > :28:26.of people that are backing me up and supporting me, even though they know
:28:26. > :28:31.I am not a runner, at all! There is so much that I have left. I do not
:28:31. > :28:36.want this to be at, so I am going to fight everything I can to make sure
:28:36. > :28:39.that it is not. Adrianne Haslett there with his
:28:39. > :28:43.story following the Boston Marathon bombing. While we have been on air,
:28:43. > :28:46.we have been getting reports of a major crash on the M6 G2 near
:28:47. > :28:52.Pontefract in west Yorkshire, near junction 32. Early reports from
:28:52. > :28:56.emergency services say that two people may have died and ten others
:28:56. > :29:03.are seriously injured. The accident involved a lorry and a minibus. Six
:29:03. > :29:13.air ambulances are in attendance. OK, it is time now to take you to
:29:13. > :29:14.
:29:14. > :29:18.the weather, Darren Bett has joined cold weather today, and with that
:29:18. > :29:22.comes some sunshine but also showers, heavy possibly with a loud
:29:22. > :29:26.thunder as well. The colder air has swept down from the north, behind
:29:26. > :29:29.this belt of cloud, and that brought the rain overnight and this morning
:29:29. > :29:33.in the south-east, just about clearing away now, seeing some
:29:33. > :29:36.sunshine for a while, but you can see the speckled cloud that is
:29:36. > :29:41.bringing showers, which will be frequent and heavy across Northern
:29:41. > :29:45.Ireland. The wind is blowing those showers over the Irish Sea with
:29:45. > :29:49.heavier showers arriving in North Wales later in the afternoon, and by
:29:49. > :29:52.then it may be dry across South Wales. Fewer showers in the
:29:52. > :29:56.south-west of England, some sunshine, but the showers are not
:29:56. > :30:00.far away, and in the south-east there will be a lot of showers this
:30:00. > :30:04.afternoon. Here, temperatures are 10 degrees lower than they were at this
:30:04. > :30:08.time yesterday, so a real chill in the air across the south-east,
:30:08. > :30:12.colder weather pushing across the Midlands as well, still a few sharp
:30:12. > :30:15.showers, heavy in northern England, hail and thunder, and over the hills
:30:15. > :30:19.of northern England and Scotland there will be sleet and snow as
:30:19. > :30:23.well. Through this evening and overnight, the showers gradually
:30:23. > :30:26.become fewer, but there will be bands of showers, and later a
:30:26. > :30:30.heavier band across East Anglia and the south-east. Clearing skies,
:30:30. > :30:34.though, the winds dropping in northern Scotland, a risk of a touch
:30:34. > :30:38.of frost, but elsewhere three degrees with sufficient cloud and
:30:38. > :30:42.showers. The weekend is going to be quite cold, especially for the time
:30:42. > :30:45.of year. Not completely dry, there will be showers and patchy rain on
:30:46. > :30:51.Sunday, and as if that was not enough, there is a risk of a touch
:30:51. > :30:55.of frost on Saturday night. Saturday day sees showers across England and
:30:55. > :30:58.Wales, being blown southwards, heavy showers across East Anglia and the
:30:58. > :31:02.south-east, improving in northern England, showers fading in eastern
:31:02. > :31:06.Scotland. Not a bad day for Scotland and Northern Ireland, bright,
:31:06. > :31:13.clouding over by the evening, but temperatures are disappointing, nine
:31:13. > :31:17.or 11 degrees. Overnight, frost in rural areas, shown by the blue. That
:31:17. > :31:22.risk is greater further south across the UK, because here we will have
:31:22. > :31:25.clearer skies for longer. A ridge of high pressure, albeit briefly, will
:31:25. > :31:31.keep its chilly overnight. Change is coming from the north-west, winds
:31:31. > :31:34.strengthening, blowing in cloud, patchy light rain or drizzle, a
:31:34. > :31:38.bright start in the south-east but clouding over, feeling chilly across
