:01:43. > :01:47.News at One. In the last hour, the Conservative MP, Patrick Mercer, has
:01:47. > :01:51.announced that he is resigning from the Parliamentary party at
:01:51. > :01:54.Westminster ahead a Panorama investigation into allegations of
:01:54. > :01:59.inappropriate lobbying. He's also said that he won't be standing at
:01:59. > :02:02.the next general election. The Newark MP says he would save the
:02:02. > :02:05.party embarrassment. A Conservative Party spokesman said the Prime
:02:05. > :02:08.Minister believes that Mr Mercer has done the right thing. Let's go live
:02:08. > :02:14.to Westminster and our political correspondent is there for us.
:02:14. > :02:18.Louise, tell us what this is all about. This is in relation to a BBC
:02:18. > :02:21.Panorama programme which has been looking at lobbying and members of
:02:21. > :02:24.the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The programme, which is
:02:24. > :02:29.still being made, is due to air as soon as possible. During the course
:02:29. > :02:31.of that investigation, they've contacted a number of people,
:02:31. > :02:34.including Patrick Mercer and asked them for their response. That
:02:34. > :02:39.investigation has led to Patrick Mercer making the statement a short
:02:39. > :02:43.time ago, saying he was resigning as the party whip. In the statement he
:02:43. > :02:48.said, " Panorama are planning to broadcast a programme alleging that
:02:48. > :02:51.I have broken Parliamentary rules. I'm taking legal advice about these
:02:51. > :02:54.allegations and I have referred myself to the Parliamentary
:02:54. > :03:00.Commissioner for Standards. In the meantime, to save my party
:03:00. > :03:04.embarrassment, I have resigned the Conservative whip and have informed
:03:04. > :03:08.the Chief Whip, Sir George Young. I have also decided not to stand at
:03:08. > :03:12.the next general election." What's the reaction been to this? As you
:03:12. > :03:15.know, the news broke only a short time ago. The Prime Minister is
:03:15. > :03:18.still on holiday. He's due back this weekend in. A statement, a
:03:19. > :03:23.Conservative Party spokesman said, " The Prime Minister is aware. He
:03:23. > :03:26.thinks Patrick Mercer has done the right thing in referring himself to
:03:26. > :03:32.the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards and resigning the whip.
:03:32. > :03:35.It's important that the dew -- due processes take their source." David
:03:35. > :03:41.Cameron warned in 2010 following the expenses scandal, which ran for
:03:41. > :03:45.weeks and weeks and involved so many MPs, that the next big scandal would
:03:45. > :03:49.be lobbying. It would be the links between business, money,
:03:49. > :03:53.politicians, Parliamentarians and said that he would clamp down on it.
:03:53. > :03:57.The Conservative Party today has stressed it is in the coalition
:03:57. > :04:01.agreement to introduce a registers lobby. They said they are going to
:04:01. > :04:04.do that, but it would take time to get it right. It's obviously not
:04:04. > :04:09.good news for David Cameron when a long-standing member of Parliament,
:04:09. > :04:13.a backbencher who used to be a Shadow minister resigns. But
:04:13. > :04:17.obviously, he's not resigned to go off to another party. He won't be
:04:17. > :04:19.standing at the next election, he said, butt Conservative Party is
:04:19. > :04:23.stressing there will not be a by-election.
:04:23. > :04:27.Thank you very much. An inquest has been opened and
:04:27. > :04:31.adjourned into the death of Drummer Lee Rigby, who was attacked near
:04:31. > :04:35.Woolwich Barracks in south-east London last week. Southwark
:04:35. > :04:39.Coroners' Court was told he died from multiple stab wounds and was
:04:39. > :04:42.identified by dental records in. A statement Lee Rigby's family has
:04:42. > :04:50.appealed for calm, saying he wouldn't want people to use his name
:04:50. > :04:56.as an excuse to carry out attacks against others.
:04:56. > :05:03.After nine days, there is just enough room for more flowers. At the
:05:03. > :05:09.barracks where Lee Rigby served and the place he died, they carpet the
:05:09. > :05:15.pavements and cover and -- the railings. There will be a full
:05:15. > :05:20.increst into Lee Rigby's death. But once criminal proceedings are
:05:20. > :05:23.completed. Giving brief details detective Chief Inspector, who is
:05:23. > :05:27.leading the investigation said Lee Rigby had been returning to barracks
:05:27. > :05:31.from the Tower of London, where he had been working, when a car swerved
:05:31. > :05:38.across the road and hit him. The two occupants then got out and attacked
:05:38. > :05:43.him with a meat cleaver and a knife. His body had to be identified by a
:05:43. > :05:47.forensic dental expert. The tower is headquarters to Lee Rigby's
:05:47. > :05:51.regiment, the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. There have already been
:05:51. > :05:55.protests at his death and this weekend, more are planned. But an
:05:55. > :06:00.association for those who served with the royal fusiliers has warned
:06:00. > :06:03.retired members that demonstrators are courting them and exploiting Lee
:06:03. > :06:06.Rigby's death for their own ends. Today, the Rigby family released a
:06:06. > :06:10.Today, the Rigby family released a new statement: " We would like to
:06:10. > :06:15.emphasise that Lee would not want people to use his name as an excuse
:06:15. > :06:18.to carry out attacks against others. We would not wish any other families
:06:18. > :06:21.to go through this harrowing to go through this harrowing
:06:21. > :06:24.experience." The Metropolitan Police have refuse
:06:24. > :06:29.aid request by the British National Party to march from Woolwich
:06:29. > :06:32.Barracks to a nearby Islamic centre. If anybody turned up in contrary to
:06:32. > :06:35.the directions we have set, they are committing an offence for which they
:06:36. > :06:41.can be arrested. That is an operational decision that will be
:06:41. > :06:44.made on the day. The BNP leader promised to defy the police, though
:06:44. > :06:52.he asked members to meet at a Westminster location, agreed with
:06:52. > :06:56.the Met, as a first step. The Queen made a long scheduled visit to
:06:56. > :07:00.Woolwich Barracks this morning, but changed plans so she could meet away
:07:00. > :07:05.from the cameras officers an soldiers who knew drummer Lee Rigby,
:07:05. > :07:09.a private acknowledgement of the events of last week.
:07:09. > :07:15.The Queen is paying that visit. Our Royal Correspondent is there. Nick,
:07:15. > :07:20.take us through who she's been meeting. A rather curious visit
:07:20. > :07:25.really. A long-planned visit. The purpose of it in coming to Woolwich
:07:25. > :07:29.Barracks is to see the headquarters of the royal horse artillery. She's
:07:29. > :07:33.seen a lot of horses, demonstrations of riding. She's having lunch at the
:07:33. > :07:38.moment. What she is not doing, we are told, is taking a few minutes to
:07:38. > :07:41.go and see the many of hundreds of floral tributes to Drummer Lee Rigby
:07:41. > :07:46.which rest just outside Woolwich Barracks a few hundred yards to my
:07:46. > :07:50.left. That is a decision which I suspect some people, perhaps many
:07:50. > :07:55.people, will find, well, a little surprising. Palace officials are at
:07:55. > :08:00.a bit of a loss to explain it other than it is a long-planned visit to
:08:00. > :08:05.the king's troop and that's pretty much it. She will meet privately
:08:05. > :08:09.with about half a dozen people who were involved in the response last
:08:09. > :08:14.week. These are people in the military chain of command, so
:08:14. > :08:17.officers. The head of state, yes, here at Woolwich Barracks, but no
:08:17. > :08:23.public acknowledgement of the tragic events of last week.
:08:23. > :08:31.Thank you. Just to say, in the last few minutes, the Crown Prosecution
:08:32. > :08:34.Service has said that Abu Nasiba a friend of Michael Adebolajo has been
:08:34. > :08:38.charged with three terrorist offences.
:08:38. > :08:42.The Foreign Office is investigating reports that a British man has been
:08:42. > :08:46.killed in Syria along with two others. A UK-based monitoring group
:08:46. > :08:50.says the man had a British passport but could not verify its
:08:50. > :08:57.authenticity. The man was killed along with an American woman and
:08:57. > :09:02.another man in Idlib province. There are also reportses from the
:09:02. > :09:08.strategically city of Qusair that people are trapped in the rebel-held
:09:08. > :09:13.district of the city with no access to medical assistance.
:09:13. > :09:16.Three foreigners died when their car was riddled by gunfire. One has been
:09:16. > :09:21.identified as an American woman, who converted to Islam. The Foreign
:09:21. > :09:25.Office is trying to establish whether what appears to be a UK
:09:25. > :09:28.passport, means a man who also died, was British. If so, he'd be the
:09:28. > :09:34.second Briton killed in Syria this week. A young British doctor died
:09:34. > :09:39.when the clinic he was working in was hit by a shell. All this came as
:09:39. > :09:43.the battle for Qusair, further to the south was intensifying.
:09:43. > :09:49.Government troops and Hezbollah fighters closed in around the town.
:09:49. > :09:52.Rebels were trapped with supply lines cut, so too civilians and cash
:09:52. > :09:56.well toys. Doctors say conditions are desperate.
:09:56. > :10:01.TRANSLATION: The situation is very bad. We have more than wounded # 00
:10:01. > :10:04.people. We have no -- 600 people. We have no access to medical help.
:10:04. > :10:11.Hezbollah has made a huge difference in the fighting. It has definitely
:10:11. > :10:14.changed the balance and strengthened the Assad army. Western leaders are
:10:14. > :10:19.frustrated by the opposition in-fighting and the apparently
:10:19. > :10:29.open-ended flow of arms from Iran and Russia to the regime. This is
:10:29. > :10:36.the most pressing crisis in world affairs today. The continued flow of
:10:36. > :10:41.weapons to the regime, the difficulties and disagreements about
:10:41. > :10:45.attending the Geneva talks don't help at all. So the battle for
:10:45. > :10:49.Qusair and for Syria goes on. Even if the Peace Conference does get
:10:49. > :10:56.under way, there's not much optimism that it will be able to come up with
:10:56. > :11:00.a viable formula for halting the carnage.
:11:00. > :11:03.Unemployment across the eurozone has risen to a new high. Another 95,000
:11:04. > :11:08.people joined the ranks of the jobless taking the total to one in
:11:08. > :11:12.eight of the workforce. Italy is one of the hardest hit, where
:11:13. > :11:18.unemployment is at the highest level for more than 36 years. There's been
:11:18. > :11:22.slightly more positive signs from the UK.
:11:22. > :11:26.The queues of job seekers across the eurozone are growing with the
:11:26. > :11:29.percentage out of work now at 12. 2%, it's seen as a major social
:11:30. > :11:33.problem as well as an economic one. In Greece, for example, school
:11:33. > :11:39.leavers like these have not much to look forward to in an economy where
:11:39. > :11:44.more than half of young people are out of work. A lot of unemployment.
:11:44. > :11:51.A lot of not good payment, not good opportunities. So we have to go
:11:51. > :11:55.abroad. It will be very difficult to find a job in my country, but I will
:11:55. > :12:00.try. Spain, too, it's a gloomy picture, with more than a quarter of
:12:00. > :12:03.the working-age population looking for work. These are troubled times
:12:03. > :12:07.for many eurozone economies, but there's been a more positive outlook
:12:07. > :12:13.for the UK today. The British Chambers of Commerce have revised
:12:13. > :12:17.their growth forecast up from 0. 6% this year to 0. 9%. And look ago
:12:17. > :12:23.head to next year, they've -- looking ahead to next year, it's up
:12:23. > :12:27.from 1. 7% to 1. 9% growth. Consumer spending has been doing reasonably
:12:27. > :12:30.well. In our view is likely to do well in the future, not
:12:30. > :12:35.marvellously, but better than predicted. And from the housing
:12:36. > :12:39.market this week, there's been news of faster price rises and a bigger
:12:39. > :12:44.monthly increase in mortgage lending. We've seen some house price
:12:44. > :12:47.measures nudge up in the last month. There does seem to be more
:12:47. > :12:53.confidence in the market. Many people are reporting more levels of
:12:53. > :12:59.activity. But over the longer term, the next five years or so, we
:12:59. > :13:02.anticipate that prices won't rise significantly in real terms. The UK
:13:02. > :13:07.isn't immune from what's happening in the eurozone. There was a police
:13:07. > :13:11.barricade outside the European Central Bank in Frankfurt today as
:13:11. > :13:14.demonstrators mounted a protest against austerity policies, given
:13:14. > :13:19.the importance of trading links, a continued downturn in these

:13:23. > :13:27.Police have been given more time to question a man on suspicion of the
:13:27. > :13:30.murder of the missing Shropshire teenager Georgia Williams. Georgia

:21:14. > :21:20.collecting indecent images in order to complain about them. His lies
:21:20. > :21:26.have sickened the community he lives in, as has his refusal to reveal
:21:26. > :21:32.what he did with the body. When he gives not to the magnitude of his
:21:32. > :21:38.offence, the horrific nature, he should definitely say what he did
:21:38. > :21:46.with her. There can be no question about that. How can a man be so
:21:46. > :21:51.unfeeling? The months since April Jones's disappearance have been
:21:51. > :21:57.difficult to bear. Thoughts have to be for the future, making sure it is

:22:21. > :22:25.test areas in West Somerset and West Gloucestershire tomorrow to try to
:22:25. > :22:32.stop the spread of bovine TB, which costs dairy farmers thousands of
:22:32. > :22:38.pounds. Wildlife groups say shooting badgers will not help. Badgers, they
:22:38. > :22:42.are cute and curious, but they also carry bovine TB, and disease having
:22:42. > :22:49.a devastating impact on cattle herds. News of the pilot badger cull
:22:49. > :22:54.is has been welcomed by many farmers. We caught up with David
:22:54. > :23:01.Batty last autumn. The vet was carrying out skin tests for bovine
:23:01. > :23:11.TB, and time and time again, the news was bad. It was a positive
:23:11. > :23:12.
:23:12. > :23:17.test, dozens of his herd marked out to be killed within 24 hours. Still
:23:17. > :23:22.today, bovine TB continues its impact on the herd. For him, the
:23:22. > :23:27.Carl is essential. We can get rid of it in the cattle herd very quickly.
:23:27. > :23:30.I keep getting clear of it and then it gets reinfected. Without being
:23:30. > :23:39.able to control the badgers we will never get rid of it. In West
:23:39. > :23:46.Gloucestershire, they aim to shoot up to 2932 badgers. In West Somerset
:23:46. > :23:49.it is up to 2162 badgers. The government scientist suggest the
:23:49. > :23:57.four-year programme will reduce the spread of TB in cattle in each zone
:23:57. > :24:02.by fitting -- by 16%. 13 leading scientists have given their opinion
:24:02. > :24:12.on this Carl and they -- they impose it -- they oppose it because it does
:24:12. > :24:16.not make a meaningful difference to bovine TB in cattle. The opposing
:24:16. > :24:22.sides of this polarised debate cannot begin to agree on how best to
:24:22. > :24:25.tackle the problem. There is no question this is among the most
:24:25. > :24:28.contentious issues facing the British countryside today.
:24:28. > :24:31.Supporters of the cull is a similar measures in other countries
:24:31. > :24:38.including Ireland have worked, but the opponents insist that there is
:24:38. > :24:44.no scientific duster vacation for the killing of thousands of badgers.
:24:44. > :24:51.-- scientific justification. The Office of Fair Trading has been
:24:52. > :24:59.accused of being ineffective and timid in attempts to deal with
:24:59. > :25:09.companies offering high interest loans. The OST said it had taken
:25:09. > :25:10.
:25:10. > :25:13.strong action. Debt, it is all a deal with at this helpline, and they
:25:13. > :25:23.are now getting one call every seven minutes from people needing help
:25:23. > :25:24.
:25:25. > :25:28.with payday loans is top. It is a quick fix. People are quite able to
:25:28. > :25:32.borrow this money for a short period of time, some of the people taking
:25:32. > :25:41.out the money do not understand how soon the money needs to be paid
:25:41. > :25:46.back. If you cannot pay it back, the debt can spiral out of control. MPs
:25:46. > :25:51.say unscrupulous behaviour is costing borrowers at least �450
:25:51. > :25:57.million per year, and they are scathing about how this market is
:25:57. > :26:03.police. The Office of Fair Trading do not know how many firms are
:26:03. > :26:10.lending, they have never find a lender for exploiting individual
:26:10. > :26:14.clients, and they very rarely revoke a licence. In a statement, the
:26:14. > :26:24.Office of Fair Trading said far from being timid, they can take strong,
:26:24. > :26:38.
:26:38. > :26:45.consumer incomes are squeezed and they struggle to access credit

:26:52. > :26:58.debt advice. It is those things together that will mean the industry
:26:58. > :27:04.will not be needed. With more than 2 million customers, payday loans are
:27:04. > :27:10.filling a gap, but tougher action is being promised when a new regulator
:27:10. > :27:15.takes over in April. England's friendly with Brazil is expected to
:27:15. > :27:25.go ahead on Sunday despite safety concerns at the recently renovated
:27:25. > :27:25.
:27:25. > :27:33.stadium. A court order suspended the game but a few hours later that was
:27:33. > :27:37.revoked. It will be the first match at the stadium. England's
:27:37. > :27:41.footballers arrived in Brazil after a long transatlantic flight. Knowing
:27:41. > :27:46.there had been concerns about stadium readiness, but unaware of
:27:46. > :27:52.the match might be in jeopardy. have had reassurances from various
:27:52. > :27:59.organisations. The main priority is to be here this week, to be as open
:27:59. > :28:03.and accessible to people as we can be and enjoy the experience. As the
:28:03. > :28:08.England players loosened up on the beach, a judge issued an injunction
:28:08. > :28:12.suspending the game on Sunday. It is the first official match to be
:28:12. > :28:18.played at the Maracana Stadium. The judge ruled there was not enough
:28:18. > :28:25.public safety guaranteed at the stadium, which had just been
:28:25. > :28:32.refurbished. Although the seating has been completed, the amount of
:28:32. > :28:39.rubble and building the serial lying around was referred to by the judge.
:28:39. > :28:43.Late last night, the state government said relevant safety
:28:43. > :28:51.requirements had been satisfied and the game would go ahead. But this is
:28:51. > :29:01.still a huge embarrassment ahead of the World Cup. Fever have
:29:01. > :29:09.
:29:09. > :29:18.consistently bemoaned the slow there is going to be sunshine! There
:29:18. > :29:23.is. It is looking lovely. Depending how much cloud and sunshine we get,
:29:23. > :29:28.for a lot of us, overall, looking at the UK it will be warm and sunny. It
:29:28. > :29:33.has not been the case for many of us this morning. Look at the cloud
:29:33. > :29:39.across central and eastern England. Very gloomy. The sun is strong at
:29:39. > :29:43.this time of year, it burns the clouds away. Actually, the weather
:29:43. > :29:48.across the bulk of England and Wales is looking fine. In the north, it is
:29:48. > :29:53.more cloudy. We will get to that bit in a second. Over the next couple of
:29:53. > :29:58.days we have the Derby. It is tomorrow. The weather is looking
:29:58. > :30:03.pretty good. I would not concentrate on the temperature. If you get the
:30:03. > :30:10.sunshine, regardless of whether it is 16 or 19 degrees, it will feel
:30:10. > :30:17.warm. Looking across the South, temperatures could reach 22 degrees.
:30:17. > :30:22.Very pleasant across the South. The coast of Wales will be colder. If we
:30:22. > :30:27.hop across the Irish Sea, into Northern Ireland, the cloud is
:30:27. > :30:32.bicker, there is rain, we have already had some this morning. What
:30:32. > :30:37.you will find is as the afternoon progresses, the cloud and the rain
:30:38. > :30:41.that we have across this part of the world will die down. For Yorkshire,
:30:41. > :30:49.apart from a little shower across the Pennines, the weather is looking
:30:49. > :30:58.good. This evening, quite good across the south of the country. The
:30:58. > :31:01.weather should be dried forward most of the UK -- driver most of the UK.
:31:01. > :31:06.Through Saturday at self, we have been promising you this in the last
:31:06. > :31:10.few days, high pressure builds, this is the good weather coming in, this
:31:11. > :31:20.is what we would like across the UK most of the time. That translates
:31:20. > :31:26.into plenty of bright weather. Not necessarily everywhere, because
:31:27. > :31:32.showers will be brewing across the North. It will be fresher. It should
:31:32. > :31:42.feel fairly similar. Sunday, copycat conditions, about 19 in the London
