tribute to him, speaking of their pride and love. At an emotional news | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
conference, they say how hard it is to accept this attack on British | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
soil. You don't expect it to happen. When he is in the UK. You think they | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
are safe. Dramatic pictures emerge of the encounter between police and | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
the suspect. We will have the latest on the investigation live from | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
Woolwich. Also, a British Airways plane is forced to make an emergency | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
landing after an engine catches fire. Nearly 200 flights have been | :00:46. | :00:53. | |
cancelled so far. Be careful what you tweet. The High Court rules that | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
Sally Bercow did libel the Tory peer, Lord McAlpine. The BBC says it | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
has messed up, as it abandons an IT project on which it has already | :01:03. | :01:13. | |

spent �100 million. Coming up, Sergio Garcia is one of several big | :01:15. | :01:25. | |

Drummer Lee Rigby, the soldier killed in Woolwich on Wednesday, | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
have set their hearts have been ripped apart by the tragedy. His | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
wife, Rebecca, and stepfather, Ian Rigby, fought back tears as they | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
spoke on behalf of the 25 year-macro's whole family. They told | :02:00. | :02:10. | |
:02:10. | :02:11. | ||
a news conference that his dream job had been to join the Army. It was | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
the hardest moments for the family of Lee Rigby. Around two hours ago, | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
his mother, stepfather, wife and other family members came here. They | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
spoke of loss and also their pride. They spoke of a son adored. They | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
said they accepted the dangers he faced as a soldier. But they also | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
said they thought he'd be safe in his own country. The family | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
overwhelmed, but also full of pride for Drummer Lee Rigby. Not just a | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
British soldier, but also a father, son and husband. I love Lee, I | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
always will. I'm proud to be his wife. He was due to come up this | :02:53. | :03:01. | |
weekend. So we could continue our future together as a family. He was | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
a devoted father to our son, Jack. We will both miss him terribly. | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
throughout, Lee Rigby's mother held the teddy he had bought for his son. | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
The last text he sent to his mum read, good night, Mum, I hope you | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
had a fantastic day today because you are the most fantastic, one in a | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
million month that anyone could ever wish for. Thank you for supporting | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
me all these years. You are not just my mum, you are my best friend. Good | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
night and love you loads. Rigby's cream, his wife said, was to | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
be a soldier. He fought in Afghanistan, served in Cyprus and | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
Germany, before his life was taken on a British street. Difficult for | :03:47. | :03:55. | |
this family to accept. When he is in the UK, you think they are safe. You | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
know there are dangers when they go somewhere like that. You don't | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
expect something like that on your doorstep. It's very difficult. | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
walked up and down that road so many times before. And then there was a | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
message from Lee Rigby's youngest sisters. Courtney and Amy wrote this | :04:17. | :04:27. | |
fully. -- or leave. Rest in peace, Lee. We loved you so much and you | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
didn't deserve this. You fought for your country and did it well. You | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
will always be our hero. We are just upset you left us so early. We love | :04:37. | :04:46. | |
you, good night. Incredibly difficult for Lee Rigby's family. | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
They also said they watched the pictures unfold on television in | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
Woolwich. His stepfather said his heart skipped a beat. He frantically | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
tried to ring Lee Rigby. It was only at midnight that it was confirmed | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
that his stepson had died. But the family also made clear that they'd | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
been overwhelmed by the support they received and good wishes in the | :05:07. | :05:15. | |
memory of Lee Rigby. The government has been defending the security | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
services, over criticism about how much they knew about the two main | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
suspects arrested over the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby. A Commons enquiry | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
will examine what was known about the men, who are still in hospital | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
after being shot by the police. Meanwhile, dramatic pictures have | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
emerged showing what happened when the armed police arrived at the | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
scene. From a nearby tower block, a new birds eye view of Wednesday 's | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
horrific events. Watch the pavement between the trees. The Woolwich | :05:46. | :05:56. | |
:05:56. | :06:11. | ||
appears to drop a silver object. It ranks as it hits the ground, | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
probably a knife. The officers fire eight shots. No warning was heard | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
but it may have been given. Armed officers never shot -- shoot to | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
disable, they shoot at the torso to stop. It's astonishing both suspects | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
survived, despite what the appears to be an attempt to commit suicide | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
through police shooting. The counterterrorism investigation is | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
piecing together the network of people and addresses that connect | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
Michael Adebowale and Michael Adebolajo. This morning, a search | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
was under way at his flat in Greenwich, registered in the name of | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
Michael Adebowale. A neighbour told us he met the pair while he happened | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
to be wearing clothing and boots. They seemed especially interested in | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
him. You think they may have followed you because they thought | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
you were in the Army? Yes, that's why. I can understand when I watch | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
the news on the TV. I think they thought they had a chance. I'm lucky | :07:11. | :07:21. | |
:07:21. | :07:22. | ||
they didn't choose me. I'm very lucky now. While all this is going | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
on, the array of flowers grows at the place where servicemen Lee Rigby | :07:27. | :07:34. | |
was killed. The sense of shock and sorrow is not yet subsiding. I guess | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
one of the key questions will be how much the intelligence services | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
knew, and how much they acted upon what they knew. We certainly know | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
that they knew of these men. They were on the radar, as it is | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
popularly characterised, of MI5 and the security services. Were they | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
suspects who were at the forefront of the security services thinking? | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
It doesn't seem as though that was the case. It seems they were figures | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
in the background, behind potentially more dangerous | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
individuals. They were not a priority. But all of this will be | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
investigated throughout the months to come. It has, however, lead to | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
more calls for the Data Communications Bill to be | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
reintroduced. This is a piece of legislation that enables the | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
security services to more closely examine the communications between | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
terrorism suspects. But the communities secretary, Eric pickles, | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
has said that nothing he seen in this case so far suggests that would | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
have helped. This may well turn out to have been a plot, something | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
staged between these two men, possibly at the spur of the moment. | :08:41. | :08:50. | |
But there is far more investigation to come. There will be much more on | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
our main story throughout the afternoon on the BBC News Channel. A | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
British Airways jet was forced to make an emergency landing at | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
Heathrow this morning, after one of the planes engines caught fire, | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
apparently after a bird strike. Both runways at Heathrow were closed by | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
-- be 80 passengers and crew left the plane using emergency slides. | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
The runways have now reopened but there's been a lot of disruption, | :09:14. | :09:24. | |
:09:24. | :09:25. | ||
with nearly 200 flights cancelled so far. The airline that was forced | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
into this emergency landing is in a hangar, it is being tracked by | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
investigators. You might be able to see in the distance the read and | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
write radar. That is where the passengers were forced to evacuate. | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
That big building over there, terminal five, is where the | :09:43. | :09:50. | |
passengers are now. As you will see from these pictures, they had a | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
pretty unnerving morning. There can't be many more frightening sight | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
than this, if you are a passenger on a plane. The casing torn off the | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
left engine. From the ground, you can see smoke coming from the other | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
engine. David Gallagher was on board. There was a loud popping | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
sound, not really an explosion but definitely not a usual sound fora | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
take off. There was some concern from passengers, people gasping. You | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
could see a cover had blown off the left side engine. Maybe another five | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
minutes after that, there was another loud sound. This time the | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
engine was clearly on fire. Flames were very visible from the cabin. | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
Less than 30 minutes later, the 75 passengers on the Airbus were | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
escaping down the emergency chutes. Everyone is now safe, with no big | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
injuries. Now it is down to investigators to work out what has | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
happened. They will use these pictures for evidence. Both engines | :10:53. | :11:02. | |
on the Airbus 309 seem to have been affected. One theory is the plane | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
hit a flock of birds. For now, the pilot and crew are being praised for | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
their calm actions. They've done an extremely good job. Even down to | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
positioning the aeroplane, so the wind is blowing any threat away from | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
the passengers. The emergency chutes were only opened on one side, so | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
they've even gone down to making sure the passengers were evacuated | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
away from any threat, which is excellent. Heathrow has reopened but | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
there will be delays all day. Everyone is OK but I think there is | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
one thing that will really worry investigators. It looks like, from | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
the pictures, that both engines on the plane were effected. These | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
planes can fly on one engine, do the whole journey on one engine. If you | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
lose two, that is far more serious. Heathrow is now open. 188 flights | :11:54. | :12:01. | |
cancelled. If you are flying out of here, check with your airline. Mark | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
Bridger, the man accused of murdering the five-year-old | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
schoolgirl, April Jones, has finished giving evidence in court | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
this lunchtime. April disappeared last October while playing near her | :12:12. | :12:22. | |
home in North Wales. Mark Bridger denies all charges. There have been | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
more heated exchanges in court today, as Mark Bridger has been | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
tested over and over about his insistence that he didn't abduct and | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
murder April Jones in October last year. Once again, under | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
cross-examination, he was asked what happened to April. He insisted he | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
didn't know what happened to her body. This was Mark Bridger the | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
morning after April Jones disappeared. The police helicopter | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
kept monitoring him, but he didn't look up. He told the court that he | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
was panicked and out searching for April. She had been missing for 15 | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
hours. Mark Bridger said he had killed her in an accident but | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
forgotten what happened to her body. In the witness box for a third day, | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
his recollection was tested over and over. Had he recognised April must | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
remark how exactly had he crushed her? When was her last gasp? | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
April's mother had to leave the courtroom as the exchanges became | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
more tense. Once again the prosecuting barrister put to Mark | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
Bridger, what did you do with April's body? I don't know, he | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
replied. Please, just take a moment to focus. I have done for the last | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
nine months, he said. And what and to have you come up with? I don't | :13:39. | :13:49. | |
:13:49. | :13:52. | ||
have an answer, I'm sorry. Mark Bridger told the jury that he'd | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
intended to hand himself in to the police, but chose to drop off his | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
car at a garage first. The Land Rover is a key piece of evidence in | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
the trial. The jury have been able to see at first hand. Mark Bridger | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
says it is ridiculous to say that he had enticed April into the vehicle. | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
His defence in the trial has now closed. The jewellery will be asked | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
to consider their verdict next week. As the defence evidence was closed, | :14:12. | :14:19. | |
April's parents hugged in the public gallery. They now know that this | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
trial is reaching a very important closing stage. We will hear the | :14:24. | :14:33. | |
:14:34. | :14:37. | ||
closing speeches from the lawyers on A tweet by the wife of the Commons | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
Speaker was libellous, the High Court ruled. She has always denied | :14:42. | :14:49. | |
the tweet was defamatory. It said, why it is Lord McAlpine trending? | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
It pointed the finger of blame at him over the media frenzy of | :14:55. | :15:02. | |
allegations of sexual abuse. Why is Lord McAlpine trending? Followed by | :15:02. | :15:10. | |
an innocent face. That led to a defamation battle. Sally Becker | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
tweeted two days after the Newsnight programme which accused a | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
senior politician from the Margaret Thatcher years of involvement. It | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
led to furious speculation which wrongly implicated Lord McAlpine. | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
The BBC apologised unreservedly and paid substantial damages. His | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
lawyers pursued others who had mention his name on the internet. | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
Today, the court found the tweet was defamatory and had meant | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
directly, or implied, that Lord McAlpine was a paedophile who was | :15:46. | :15:56. | |
:15:56. | :16:07. | ||
guilty of sexually abusing boys. In In a statement on behalf of Lord | :16:07. | :16:17. | |
:16:17. | :16:23. | ||
This is not the first defamation case to be fought over a tweet and | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
it will not be the last. It illustrates an important modern | :16:28. | :16:35. | |
truth - publication is publication. Whether it is confined to a 140 | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
character tweet or in a carefully considered newspaper article. | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
the time she posted her tweet, the internet was agog with the question, | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
who was the person who had been referred to anonymously in a | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
Newsnight programme? In that context, if you make a poster which | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
identifies a specific person - particularly when you add the nudge | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
and wink of an innocent face - there is a danger you could be | :17:05. | :17:14. | |
charged with this offence. significant is this? The point is, | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
when the internet was in its infancy, people assumed it was an | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
unregulated frontier where you could write and say what you wanted. | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
The public are being allocated both in criminal law in relation to | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
content. In the case of Ted Evans, we had people tweeting the name of | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
a rape victim. In relation to defamation, it is a very important | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
lesson to people, along with your Twitter account and Facebook | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
account. Be need a working knowledge of the law of defamation | :17:47. | :17:55. | |
and content. -- you need. The law applies to you as much as it does | :17:55. | :18:03. | |

The reputation of Sweden is for higher social spending and a | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
harmonious multicultural society. Stockholm has experienced aphis | :18:44. | :18:52. | |
night of rioting in the city's suburbs. -- a 5th night. The latest | :18:52. | :18:56. | |

nine cars burnt out. From the capital, this report. -- two | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
schools. Over five night of riots, teenagers have targeted police | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
stations, banks and kindergartens. It has been indiscriminate. Local | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
people watched as their school was burned. Windows of a library were | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
smashed. The areas affected have large proportions of immigrants. | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
Unemployment is relatively high. She says she cannot understand why | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
people would do this. The violence on Thursday was more spread across | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
the whole country. There were more intense incidents over a wider area. | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
As they clean up, there is a big debate about integration and | :19:45. | :19:55. | |

immigration. Has the policy failed? Do not let these people represent | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
15% of the Swedish population. If we do that, we are on a slippery | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
slope. The torched cars are often those of the very people living in | :20:11. | :20:21. | |
:20:21. | :20:22. | ||
deprived areas. There is an opinion by people here that they are on the | :20:22. | :20:30. | |
outskirts of society. School results are not suited. There is a | :20:30. | :20:37. | |
lot of segregation issues. -- it so good. It is now a more divided | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
society, asking difficult questions about who belongs and he gets left | :20:42. | :20:52. | |

out. A question now asked in many The High Court says the | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
Government's response to claims that British troops the pews and | :20:55. | :21:02. | |
unlawfully killed civilians in Iraq is inadequate. -- abused. Lawyers | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
representing civilians wanted a full public inquiry. The court said | :21:06. | :21:14. | |
there should be a series of further investigations into the allegations. | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
Just remind us of the background to this. As you said, lawyers for one | :21:20. | :21:30. | |
hand and 80 Iraqis argued the abuse in Iraq was systemic. -- 180. They | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
wanted a wide-ranging public inquiry. The MoD argued it set up a | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
team which is investigating these cases on a case-by-case basis and | :21:41. | :21:50. | |
that is enough. The court ruled out this team is sufficiently | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
independent. It also said the investigations it is doing are not | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
enough to meet Britain's obligations under the Human Rights | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
Act, in particular its duty to investigate suspicious deaths. The | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
delay in properly investigating deaths is a source of great and | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
increasing concern. Viewers can remember being inquiry of Bach and | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
reserve. There are 12 deaths in custody which needs to be properly | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
examined. What happens next?It seems the High Court wants to see a | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
series of many inquiries, might coroner's inquests. It is set for | :22:34. | :22:41. | |
the UK to meet its human rights obligations, there should be full | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
and fair fearless investigation which is accessible to the victims, | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
family and the public. They want these inquiries to look at | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
circumstances of the deaths and the training given to soldiers during | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
the interrogations which led to the deaths. The lawyer for the Iraqi is | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
welcomed the judgment of the court. My clients welcome at last the | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
opportunities for accountability flowing from this judgment. I trust | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
the Secretary of State will now established these public hearings | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
and, in time, implement the further reforms required following the | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
inquiry report of September, 2011. The Secretary of State must insure | :23:25. | :23:32. | |
the UK forces abroad respect and apply the rule of law. The MoD has | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
actually also welcomed the court's judgment. In particular, the fact | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
it did not decide there should be this overarching public inquiry | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
that lawyers for the Iraqis had wanted. There will be these many | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
inquiries, like inquests. The Iraqis are very pleased about that. | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
Both sides are trying to claim victory in us. Pornography should | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
be discussed by children at school during sex-education lessons, | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
according to a report from the office of the Children's | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
Commissioner for England. It warns many children are exposed online | :24:10. | :24:18. | |
and it can influence attitudes to sex and relationships. Since the | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
advent of the internet, easy access to porn has been a worry for | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
parents. Children not looking for it can stumble across it. Paul, now | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
24, became addicted at just 13. It dominated his life. I knew what I | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
was doing was wrong. No average 13, 14-year-old, goes in from school, | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
straight on to the computer. I knew exactly what I was doing was wrong. | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
This case is extreme but a significant proportion of children | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
have come across pornography or are accessing it. Very different to | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
what today's parents may have seen when they were children. Years ago, | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
it was restricted to places like this. Those strict controls have | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
gone and hardcore porn is readily accessible to children on any | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
device. Just a few clicks away on any mobile phone, any tablet, for | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
example, children can find really graphic depictions of extreme and | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
violent sexual acts. The report says relationship and sex education | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
should be compulsory in all schools and should include debate on the | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
impact of pornography. The Department of Education said that | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
while sex-education was a compulsory at primary level, | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
children from the age of five should be taught how to stay safe | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
online. The BBC has apologised for wasting licence payers money after | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
abandoning an IT project which has already cost �100 million. The | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
corporation's chief technology officer has been suspended and the | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
team running the scheme is being disbanded. The chairman of the | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
Public Accounts Committee says she is totally shocked at the BBC | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
decision to cancel the project and write-off the licence fee money | :26:05. | :26:14. | |
spent on it. Tell us what has happened. The project began in 2007. | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
It was described as the single most important technology project. It | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
was undertaking getting rid of tape. Everything from the BBC archive you | :26:23. | :26:30. | |
would be able to work with from a desktop. It did not work. It missed | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
deadlines. Today they have just accepted it does not work and they | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
have scrapped entire thing. �98.4 million it has cost. The chairman | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
of the committee said it was utterly shambolic. The head of | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
digital and strategy was not disagreeing. Everybody in the BBC | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
is mortified because there has been a really significant waste of | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
taxpayers' money. The project had a very good idea at the start, it was | :27:02. | :27:09. | |
too ambitious and went wrong. It was decided we should stop digging | :27:09. | :27:16. | |
and closed the programme down and not waste any more money on it. | :27:16. | :27:23. | |
That is about 676,000 TV licence fees gone in this project. What do | :27:23. | :27:31. | |
they do next? They will need to come up with a system to replace it. | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
A section of a busy highway bridge has collapsed in the United States, | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
sending cars and passengers plunging into an ice-cold river. | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
The accident came at the start of one of the busiest holiday weekends | :27:44. | :27:49. | |
of the year. No reported fatalities but three people were pulled from | :27:49. | :27:54. | |
the water and taken to hospital. An investigation is under way into the | :27:54. | :27:59. | |
accident on the bridge which links Seattle with Canada. Thieves have | :27:59. | :28:06. | |

There will be some rain for some of us. Today, not looking too good and | :28:37. | :28:42. | |
the weekend not looking too bad. For most, there will be warm spells | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
of sunshine. Saturday will feel much warmer than today, | :28:46. | :28:51. | |
particularly across England. The radar picture shows an area of low | :28:51. | :28:56. | |
pressure moving southwards. Underneath this band of rain, | :28:56. | :28:59. | |
temperatures are around seven degrees at the moment across | :28:59. | :29:03. | |
central and eastern England. Seven degrees is the highest temperature | :29:03. | :29:09. | |
you would normally expect to see in January. It feels like January out | :29:09. | :29:13. | |
side with cloud and rain and winds gusting. A real contrast further | :29:14. | :29:19. | |
north and west in Scotland with a fair amount of sunshine. It stays | :29:19. | :29:24. | |
dry. Temperatures around about 14 degrees. We have had the rain- | :29:24. | :29:30. | |
delayed start at Headingley. Probably some play later on. -- ate | :29:30. | :29:35. | |

Isles. This low pressure balls thinks southwards into the near | :29:39. | :29:45. | |
Continent, taking its cloud and rain with it. As the skies continue | :29:45. | :29:51. | |
to clear, it will turn cold. They could be pockets of air frost | :29:51. | :29:55. | |
developing. Gardeners take note. It can be really damaging to tender | :29:55. | :30:01. | |
plants outside. On Saturday, most of us will have a decent day with | :30:01. | :30:05. | |
lots of sunshine. It will feel much warmer than today the temperatures | :30:05. | :30:10. | |
round about 16 degrees. In Northern Ireland, through the afternoon, it | :30:10. | :30:15. | |
will start to cloud over with a few spots of rain in western counties. | :30:15. | :30:21. | |
By and large, a dry pitch up with highs of 16 degrees. The weather is | :30:21. | :30:28. | |
not looking too bad. -- eight-try picture. In the hazy sunshine, we | :30:28. | :30:34. | |
could see highs of 18 degrees in London. On Bank Holiday Monday, the | :30:34. | :30:39. | |
weather could turn increasingly unsettled. It will turn quite windy | :30:39. | :30:43. | |
as well. The rain will move in across Northern Ireland before | :30:43. | :30:47. | |
spreading into Scotland, for West of England and Wales will also see | :30:47. | :30:53. | |
outbreaks of rain. Hazy sunshine for the rest and it could become | :30:53. | :30:57. | |
locally quite warm on Bank Holiday Monday with temperatures reaching | :30:57. | :31:01. | |
round about 20 degrees or so. We'll get rid of the cold weather today | :31:01. | :31:09. | |
and, for the weekend, most of us will have dry weather. A reminder | :31:09. | :31:15. | |
