Good afternoon. Welcome to the BBC News at One. Stuart Hazell, who had | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
denied murdering 12-year-old Tia Sharp in south London last summer, | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
this morning changed his plea to guilty on the 5th day of his trial. | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
Tia Sharp's body was found in the loft of her grandmother's house | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
more than a week after she disappeared. Stuart Hazell was at | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
the time her grandmother's boyfriend. The prosecution had told | :02:24. | :02:33. | |
the jury that he killed Tia service sexually assault -- after sexually | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
assaulting her. Her correspondent is at the Old Bailey. Stuart Hazell | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
has denied murdering Tia Sharp for nine months but today the jury | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
heard that his lawyer said that because of wanting to spare the | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
family future anguish -- further anguish he was going to change his | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
plea to guilty and he pleaded guilty to murder. There was also a | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
mountain of evidence as become clear over the past week kpwepbs | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
Stuart Hazell and no jury was ever likely to acquit him. | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
Stuart Hazell, the killer who lied to his family, the police and the | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
wider world. His victim was his 12- year-old step-granddaughter, Tia | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
Sharp. CCTV showed her spending her last day with him, a man she | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
trusted and idolised. Hours later, he sexually assaulted and murdered | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
her in her grandmother's house. For a week her relatives sat through | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
distressing evidence, a violent and graphic photo of Tia's body, videos | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
he secretly recorded in the weeks before he killed her. Tia's mother | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
Natalie frequently left the court in tears. For a week last summer | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
the sprawling housing estate of New Addington was gripped by fear, a | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
12-year-old schoolgirl had apparently vanished into thin air. | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Tia had gone to visit her grandmother. Stuart Hazell said she | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
left the following morning to go shopping. But it was a lie. He had | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
murdered her and hidden her body while her grandmother was at work. | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
The increasingly frantic search for Tia Sharp drew in hundreds of | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
police officers and members of the local community. They searched | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
through lock-up garages, waste bins and local woodland. But when she | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
was finally found it was here, in her grandmother's house. It was in | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
the loft, one similar to this in a neighbouring house. Astonishingly, | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
police had searched the loft within two days of her disappearance but | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
failed to spot it until the 4th search of the house. A mistake for | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
which they apologised to Tia's family. Throughout the week that | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
Tia disappeared her family had used the house as a base from which they | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
mounted a high profile appeal for information. In their midst was | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
Hassle, he denied involvement. In a TV interview recorded a day before | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
his arrest, as he spoke only he knew her body lay metres away. | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
not about me, it's about Tia, this is all about Tia and we have to get | :04:57. | :05:05. | |
her home. Don't know what more to do? After his arrest, police found | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
images of child abuse on his phone and a photo of a girl's body. He | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
already had a reputation for for violence on the estate. Three years | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
earlier he had been convicted of threatening the landlord of a local | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
pub with a machete. He started walking up the road opposite with a | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
machete in his hand W that, I locked the pub doors, called the | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
police, correct thing to do, told everyone to stay inside. He was a | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
horrible man. Horrible man. He was a bully. He was a big lad, he is a | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
bully. Not popular on the estate, Wye say. In a letter to his father | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
he had said Tia had died in an accident, fallen down stairs while | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
they were playing. Finally, today, he admitted it was a lie. In the | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
last few minutes Tia's mother has released a statement in which she | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
said said, she was mine and no one else's, I had someone to love. She | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
went on to say, since Tia was taken I have lost my trust in everyone. | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
It's too hard for me to believe that she's really gone. I tried to | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
believe she's on a sleepover at a friend's house, my son asked me | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
recently whether Tia was coming back. It made me khraoeu. -- cry. I | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
had to tell him that she was a star in the sky. | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
Thank you. David Cameron has arrived in | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
Washington for talks with President Obama, leaving behind a debate | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
raging among Conservatives about the UK's future in the European | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
Union. MPs will have a chance to debate a referendum planned for | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
2017 on Wednesday. Two Cabinet Ministers, Michael Gove and Philip | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
Hammond, have become the most senior figures to declare they | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
would vote to leave the EU if a referendum was held now. We will | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
get the latest from Westminster and Washington in a moment, first | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
here's our political correspondent Iain Watson. | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
For a generation those who argued that Britain should leave the EU | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
were on the fringes of British politics. Now they're moving | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
centre-stage. With some members of David Cameron's Cabinet saying they | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
would consider pulling out unless he negotiates better terms. David | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
Cameron wants a new deal with more powers over social and economic | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
policy and on a visit to Washington today he repeated that voters would | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
get a referendum after negotiations in 2017 if he is still Prime | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
Minister. What I am focused on is doing the right thing for the | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
country. And the right thing for Britain is to reform the European | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
Union, make it more competitive, to renegotiate Britain's place within | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
it and then to put that to the British people in an in-out | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
referendum. There's a simple reason why David Cameron won't offer a | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
referendum before the next general election, that's because he is a | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
leader of a coalition Government, not a Conservative Government, and | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
the Liberal Democrats won't wear it. But for some Conservative MPs this | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
isn't so much about Europe, it's about trust and they think David | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
Cameron has to do more to tell voters he is serious about holding | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
that referendum. Some of them have been pressing the prime nor pass a | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
law in this parliament clearing the way for a future referendum and | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
this week they'll push for a vote in the House of Commons regretting | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
the lack of that legislation in this year's Queen's Speech. | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
party leaders in the past have had problems honouring commit ams -- | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
commit ams they've given under Europe. Under this procedure | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
parliament will have spoken, there will be a law and whoever is in | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
power the next general election will have to carry it out. Some | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
senior Conservatives disagree. it will achieve is splitting the | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
party, raising questions about the Prime Minister's authority, and | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
giving comfort to the Labour Party. Over a question of tactics. | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
would some Conservative MPs vote for this? Nigel Farage believes | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
some want to avoid a challenge from UKIP. There may be one or two MPs, | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
Conservative, perhaps the odd Labour MP who may have associations | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
behind them that say why don't we stand stand in this election on a | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
joint ticket. I think the next stage is going to be, you will see | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
backbenchers saying I want to stand as a joint Tory-UKIP candidate. | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
Today a group of Labour MPs launched a call for a referendum. | :09:18. | :09:28. | |
:09:28. | :09:28. | ||
Nigel Farage doesn't have MPs tpwu appears he does have influence. | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
Let's head to Washington and James Landale is travelling with the | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
Prime Minister and how angry would you say David Cameron is about | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
everything that's going on back here, not least among some senior | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
colleagues? I think the Prime Minister's irritated. He is | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
irritated because he's come to Washington to talk, not just about | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
Syria and Afghanistan and his plans for the G8 summit in Northern | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
Ireland next month, but also about Europe. He is here to bang the drum | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
for the European Union and the prospects of a new EU-US trade deal | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
that he feels if it was negotiated could benefit Britain to the tune | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
of about �10 billion every year. The contrast with what's going on | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
at home could not be starker. He's also irritated simply because he | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
feels that this year he made a big move. He gave a big speech in which | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
he promised a future Conservative Government would give the British | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
people an in-out referendum by 2017. He feels now that all these people, | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
from the Conservative past saying let's leave now, in his view, hold | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
a very, very strange opinion. In his words, they're throwing in the | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
towel before you have even started trying to negotiate a reformed | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
European Union. As for his current Cabinet who are going around | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
answering lots of questions about what they would do if there were a | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
referendum tomorrow, he is very clear, those are hypothetical | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
questions and he doesn't want Ministers answering them. All right, | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
thank you. Let's head to Norman Smith at Westminster. At the moment | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
we are all focusing on Wednesday, not long to go, but I suppose the | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
problem for David Cameron is that doesn't necessarily draw a line | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
under it. Absolutely. We have on Wednesday the prospect of Tory MPs | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
voting three different ways with some Tory MPs, Eurosceptics, maybe | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
around 100 of them joined by some of the most June ormembers -- | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
junior members of the Government backing this amendment. Most | :11:22. | :11:32. | |
Government phbs abstaining and pro- minded Toryure MPs voting against. | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
This might be a sign of things to come. Because what is clear talking | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
to Tory Eurosceptics they view Wednesday as a start of a process, | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
another notch in ratcheting up the pressure on David Cameron because | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
the very next day on Thursday we will get a ballot of MPs to decide | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
which ones can introduce private members' bills. That is a mechanism | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
that enables backbenchers to try and introduce their own legislation. | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
And the hope of Tory Eurosceptics is their number will be successful | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
and that they will be able to introduce their own referendum bill. | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
It's why some of the older heads amongst Tory MPs of Westminster are | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
now going around muttering the dread word - Maastricht. A fear | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
that the Tory Party risks making exactly the same mistake as it did | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
during the Major years when it allowed itself to become obsessed | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
by Europe. Thank you. | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
Much more over the week and to remind you, you can read more about | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
that issue of the UK's membership of the European Union on our | :12:37. | :12:46. | |
website and it includes arguments for leaving or staying. | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
A severely disabled man is taking his case to the Court of Appeal | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
today in what's being seen as the most ambitious attempt yet to try | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
to change the law governing the so- called right to die. Paul Lamb, who | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
is physically incapable of taking his own life, after being paralysed | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
in a car accident, is seeking a ruling that would give a doctor a | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
defence to a murder charge. Here is our legal affairs correspondent | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
Clive Coleman. After two decades of paralysis and | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
pain, Paul Lamb has made the difficult journey to London and to | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
the Court of Appeal to ask it to give him the right to have a doctor | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
end his life. I do actually love life. And I am hanging on as long | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
as I can. But I don't ever want to be in a bed where I think, wow, I | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
am not going to get out of this bed and actually no point I am going to | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
get out, I don't ever want to be in that situation. Just constantly | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
going through pain and being doped up and waking up in pain. | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
It's a legal challenge started by the late Tony Nicklinson, who died | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
shortly after the High Court rejected his bid to change the law | :13:57. | :14:04. | |
on the right to die. Now Paul Lamb's taking it on. His paralysis | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
is so severe he has minimal movement in one hand, like Tony, he | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
couldn't take the final steps to end his life. He would need a | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
doctor to kill him and that would amount to murder. Paul himself is | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
too physically disabled to take the final steps so what he would be | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
asking the court to do is to sanction these steps in advance | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
after the court has heard all of the evidence in his case. One judge | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
said that this legal challenge was inviting the court to cross a | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
rubicon. Another said it raised some of the most profound, ethical, | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
moral, religious and social issues, but that only parliament and not | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
the courts could change the law. But many people oppose any change | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
that would allow a doctor to actively end a person's life. | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
is seeking a change in the law on murder and much as our hearts go | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
out to him we have to remember the effect this would have on many | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
people with physical disabilities or difficulties with memory who | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
would feel vulnerable and be subject to pressures, whether they | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
were real ones or or imagined to seek that option themselves. Today | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
the Court of Appeal will begin to consider the complex issues that | :15:18. | :15:28. | |
:15:28. | :15:39. | ||
could give Paul Lamb and others in stop searching in the rubble in the | :15:39. | :15:45. | |

One of Britain's most wanted fruj tifs has been demanded in custody on | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
Madrid. Andrew Moran from Salford was | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
arrested by the police in the resort of Costa Blanca. He was wanted in | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
connection with an armed robbery in 2005. Andrew Moran was convicted in | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
his absence after fleeing the trial in 2009. We have this report. On 9 | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
edge of a villa on the Costa Blanca, armed officers move in. They crawl, | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
out of sight from one of Britain's most wanted criminals. Andrew Moran | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
is by the pool, unaware of what is about to happen. Then Spanish police | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
make their move, Andrew Moran tries to run but he is arrested as he | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
tries to jump a wall. One moment he was sunbathing after evading justice | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
for years, now he is handcuffed on the floor. 31-year-old, Andrew | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
Moran, has been on the run for four years. Wanted for armed robbery. | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
This CCTV footage from 2005, shows him robbing a Royal Mail van. He and | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
his accomplice threatened the security guards with a baseball bat | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
and machete, but in court four years later at the end of his trial, he | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
jumped from the dock. A jury then found him guilty in his absence. | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
When he fled to Spain, Andrew Moran changed his appearance and his name. | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
Spanish police tracked him down last year. He escaped then, ramming two | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
police cars and driving down a motorway the wrong way, but relaxing | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
on Friday, the Spanish police made sure this time he would not get | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
away. Andrew Moran evaded justice for four years. This morning he was | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
brought here to one of Spain's highest courts in Madrid. The | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
process to extradite him back home is well underway, so he can be | :17:52. | :18:02. | |

pictures he has been tweeting of his view of the world have been followed | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
by more than three-quarters of a million people. Now Commander Chris | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
Hadfield is coming back to Earth but not before recording a tribute to | :19:01. | :19:10. | |
another famous spaceman. # Ground control to Major Tom | :19:10. | :19:17. | |
# Ground control to Major Tom... Commander Chris Hadfield, astronaut, | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
scientist, and maybe the star of the first pop video made in space. His | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
cover of David Bowie's hit is his tribute to the International Space | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
Station, after six months on dashboard, he is due to leave for | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
the journey back to Earth today, but what Commander Chris Hadfield is | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
really famous for are his tweets from space. | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
Pictures of our planet and the space station, which have captivated | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
hundreds of thousands of people. This is the International Space | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
Station in the skies over the UK. Regular passers overhead have often | :19:53. | :19:59. | |
been followed by stunning images. At night most towns and cities in the | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
UK and near continents can be seen. Close up, this is how London looks. | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
How about this for an alternative EastEnders opening? Day time passes | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
yielded fantastic views. This is the Straits of Dover. When the pictures | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
were treated -- tweeted from space, there has been a huge response from | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
the people living down here in the We managed to get a question to | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
Commander Chris Hadfield in one of his recent link-ups with Earth. | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
It is delightful to see something interesting. To be able to take a | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
picture of it, and have so many other people delight in it. They see | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
their town, the region, the Isle of Wight or some of the northern | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
regions, in to the south of Scotland and they have a perspective on it | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
that may be did not exist for them in the regular two-dimensional way | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
that we see things. But from now on Commander Chris | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
Hadfield's Twitter field will be less dramatic. The singing spaceman | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
is coming home, but his legacy is that a lot more people are aware of | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
life on the International Space Station. | :21:05. | :21:15. | |

# And before too long I know it's time to go... The former Cabinet | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
Minister, Chris Huhne and his ex-wife, Pryce prays released from | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
prison this morning. They were convicted of perverting the course | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
of justice after Vicky Pryce took speeding points from her husband in | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
2003. We have this report. It contains | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
flash photography. Chris Huhne emerged from Leyhill | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
Open Prison this morning, two months into an eight-month sentence, with | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
little chance of resuming his once stella political career. | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
REPORTER: How was prison, sir? There was no comment at the prison but | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
when he reached his London home, he made it clear he wants to put this | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
chapter of his life behind him. As you know from the night I was | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
sentenced, I said I was very sorry for what I had done. It has been a | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
humbling and a sobering experience. I would-like to thank all of those | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
who have written to me, hundreds of letters that I have had, and all of | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
my family and friends who have stood by me. | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
Chris Huhne had come close to winning the leadership of the | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
Liberal Democrats and went on to be the Energy Secretary in the new | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
coalition government, but he was undone by this stretch of the M 11 | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
in Essex, where he got a speeding ticket but persuaded his wife, | :22:37. | :22:44. | |
Vicky, to say she was driving and take the points. After an | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
acrimonious divorce, Vicky Pryce told the newspapers what she had | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
done. Both were prosecuted for perverting the course of justices. | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
She too was released today. Ready to pick up the pieces of her own | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
high-profile career. She is very grateful for all of the | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
support she has received from everyone whilst in prison. Including | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
her fellow residents and prison staff. | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
She now intends to spend time with her family and she looks forward to | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
returning to her career as an economist. | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
Both she and Chris Huhne will have to wear electronic tags for the time | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
being. REPORTER: Has prn been good pore | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
you? As her ex-husband arrived back at his house, he knew that the legal | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
battle is still not over. Hanging over him and Vicky Pryce is the | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
�150,000 bill for their prosecution. Centrica which owns British Gas says | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
it will use the revenue from higher fuel consumption to keep its charges | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
down for as long as possible. The company says that domestic gas use | :23:52. | :23:59. | |
was up 18% sins in -- up 18 peshz in the first four months of the year, | :23:59. | :24:06. | |
compared to last year. Electricity use was up 3%. BMW says sales of its | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
luxury cars rose by 7. 5%. Boosted by demand in Asia and the United | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
Statesment sales of its other vehicles, including the UK-made, #k7 | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
mini and the Rolls-Royce were also up by nearly 7%. | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
Tickets for next year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow are to start at �15 | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
for adults with most priced at �25 or less. The organisers say that | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
they have learned lessons from previous Games and London 2012. They | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
pledged at least 70% of all tickets from the sporting events will be | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
made available to the public and include the cost of public transport | :24:45. | :24:55. | |
around Glasgow. We have the details. This is to be | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
the largest sporting event ever held in Scotland. For the aringers here | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
there were two issues. The first is balancing the books, they have to | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
make �100 million in sponsorship and ticket sales and to make the tickets | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
affordable. The second thing is to learn the lessons from what they | :25:13. | :25:20. | |
called the warm-up act, that was the London Olympics. | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
It is a tough act to follow. The glorious Games of London 2012. With | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
Team GB picking up more Gold Medals than ever before, but there were a | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
few flaws. Tem ti seats left for sponsors of the games angered the | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
sports fans desperate for tickets. That is something that the | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
organisers are eager to avoid. We have a ticket for erone of the | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
sports that starts at �15. Overall, two thirds are �25 or less. We think | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
that gives people a huge amount of choice to see a great sport next | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
summer. Scotland has hosted the Games | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
before, in 1986 in Edinburgh. There was success in the track but | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
the event was left over �4 million in debt it took three years to pay | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
it off. This time, the venues for Glasgow's | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
Commonwealth Games are so far on time and crucially, on budget, they | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
are ready for spectators around the world. | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
You look back to London, people wanted to be there, whatever sports | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
they were in. 17 sports, 1 million tickets, there is great news here in | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
that there is the chance for anyone who wants to come along to be there | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
and to make this a massive success. Everyone will have to pay for spo | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
tickets, including sponsors and the media. The applications to standard | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
online and by post in August. To get hold of the tickets, that process is | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
to open on the 19th of August and last until the 16 16th September. | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
For the popular events like the 100m, if it is oversubscribed it | :27:04. | :27:11. | |
will go to a public ballot. Now, Prince Harry is continuing to | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
win hartsz and fans in America as his week-long tour of the country | :27:16. | :27:22. | |
continues. Today he is travelling from Colorado to New York but he | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
spent the weekend supporting the Warrior Games, a version of the | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
Paralympics for injured service men and women. He says he wants to bring | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
the event to the UK. He has never been one to turn down a | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
challenge. Which is why Harry was to be found | :27:39. | :27:45. | |
forming the base of a human pyramid. Why were they doing it? And why was | :27:45. | :27:50. | |
there a man dressed as a bird on the top? Those are questions to which | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
there is no clear answer, but the challenge that matters to Harry is | :27:54. | :27:59. | |
bringing a sporting event such as this to Britain. The Warrior Games | :27:59. | :28:05. | |
have been an annual event in the United States for four years. | :28:05. | :28:11. | |
Racers ready... There we go! As the name implies, these are games for | :28:11. | :28:16. | |
wounded servicemen and women. They help rehabilitation, they are good | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
for moral, Harry's plan is to create a British version. | :28:20. | :28:26. | |
I'm hoping to bring this fantastic idea here to the UK and why not? | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
This is far more than a whim on Harry's part. The ambition is to | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
have games such as this taking place in Britain within the next couple of | :28:34. | :28:40. | |
years. That is the aspiration, and behind | :28:40. | :28:43. | |
the scenes, Harry and his officials are working to turn it into a | :28:43. | :28:48. | |
reality it mean as lot to the athletes it matters to Harry and he | :28:48. | :28:56. | |
is determined to see it happen. Now we want some of that American | :28:56. | :29:06. | |
sunshine, I think. Let's ask Tomasz sunshine, I think. Let's ask Tomasz | :29:06. | :29:11. | |
I think there are a lot of clouds out there. We are calling this today | :29:11. | :29:14. | |
sunshine and showers. Not everyone will get the heavy showers but there | :29:14. | :29:20. | |
are a few of them around. We have had some today of the on the | :29:20. | :29:23. | |
satellite picture is a swirl of cloud. That is an area of low | :29:23. | :29:28. | |
pressure. To the south, the cloud here does not look a lot but the | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
individual clouds are gusty and squally. You will notice by the | :29:32. | :29:38. | |
arrows, that they is indicating the strength of the wind. In the | :29:38. | :29:43. | |
north-west and parts of Scotland gales blowing. Temperatures | :29:43. | :29:51. | |
disappointing at 11 to 13 Celsius. This is nod good at all. Lots of | :29:51. | :29:56. | |
showers around. No so heavy in the south. This evening, the showers are | :29:56. | :30:02. | |
to clearment not all of them, but in the Midlands, there are clearer | :30:02. | :30:06. | |
skies but all eyes to the south-west. There is a pool of blue | :30:06. | :30:12. | |
here it is like a wall of water to the south and south-western parts of | :30:12. | :30:16. | |
England. There is uncertainty how bad this rain will be, how gusty the | :30:16. | :30:20. | |
winds will be with it as well. We are expecting strong winds but | :30:20. | :30:25. | |
notice the lime green, that is indicating the area of the heaviest | :30:25. | :30:29. | |
rain but it could be further to the north or to the east or south. So a | :30:29. | :30:33. | |
headache to predict, but the message is that the south-west, the south of | :30:33. | :30:39. | |
Wales, the Midlands, you will get a good dose of rain. Up to 50 | :30:39. | :30:44. | |
millimetres. For the north of the UK, it is pretty much what we have | :30:44. | :30:49. | |
today, a mixture of sunshine, showers, gusty winds. The weather | :30:49. | :30:56. | |
cannot make up its mind. There here in the south, there could | :30:56. | :31:01. | |
absurprise, yes, we have the winds but wait for it, wet snow, possibly. | :31:01. | :31:05. | |
Not just over the hills but over some parts of the country. Still a | :31:05. | :31:11. | |
big question mark if it will happen but do not be surprised if you see | :31:11. | :31:15. | |
it happen with some snow falling from the sky tomorrow. This is the | :31:15. | :31:25. | |
:31:25. | :31:29. | ||
For the rest of the week it is going to be cool, with a mix stur of | :31:29. | :31:34. | |
sunshine and showers. Winds easing. Thoughts on the | :31:34. | :31:38. | |
summer, there are some on the summer, there are some on the | :31:38. | :31:43. | |
website, so head on there. We are wondering after that. Now the | :31:43. | :31:50. | |
main story this lunch time: Stuart Hazell, who denied murdering Tia | :31:50. | :31:54. |
