:01:39.:01:43.

News at One. In the last hour, the Conservative MP, Patrick Mercer, has

:01:43.:01:47.

announced that he is resigning from the Parliamentary party at

:01:47.:01:51.

Westminster ahead a Panorama investigation into allegations of

:01:51.:01:54.

inappropriate lobbying. He's also said that he won't be standing at

:01:54.:01:59.

the next general election. The Newark MP says he would save the

:01:59.:02:02.

party embarrassment. A Conservative Party spokesman said the Prime

:02:02.:02:05.

Minister believes that Mr Mercer has done the right thing. Let's go live

:02:05.:02:08.

to Westminster and our political correspondent is there for us.

:02:08.:02:14.

Louise, tell us what this is all about. This is in relation to a BBC

:02:14.:02:18.

Panorama programme which has been looking at lobbying and members of

:02:18.:02:21.

the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The programme, which is

:02:21.:02:24.

still being made, is due to air as soon as possible. During the course

:02:24.:02:29.

of that investigation, they've contacted a number of people,

:02:29.:02:31.

including Patrick Mercer and asked them for their response. That

:02:31.:02:34.

investigation has led to Patrick Mercer making the statement a short

:02:34.:02:39.

time ago, saying he was resigning as the party whip. In the statement he

:02:39.:02:43.

said, " Panorama are planning to broadcast a programme alleging that

:02:43.:02:48.

I have broken Parliamentary rules. I'm taking legal advice about these

:02:48.:02:51.

allegations and I have referred myself to the Parliamentary

:02:51.:02:54.

Commissioner for Standards. In the meantime, to save my party

:02:54.:03:00.

embarrassment, I have resigned the Conservative whip and have informed

:03:00.:03:04.

the Chief Whip, Sir George Young. I have also decided not to stand at

:03:04.:03:08.

the next general election." What's the reaction been to this? As you

:03:08.:03:12.

know, the news broke only a short time ago. The Prime Minister is

:03:12.:03:15.

still on holiday. He's due back this weekend in. A statement, a

:03:15.:03:18.

Conservative Party spokesman said, " The Prime Minister is aware. He

:03:19.:03:23.

thinks Patrick Mercer has done the right thing in referring himself to

:03:23.:03:26.

the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards and resigning the whip.

:03:26.:03:32.

It's important that the dew -- due processes take their source." David

:03:32.:03:35.

Cameron warned in 2010 following the expenses scandal, which ran for

:03:35.:03:41.

weeks and weeks and involved so many MPs, that the next big scandal would

:03:41.:03:45.

be lobbying. It would be the links between business, money,

:03:45.:03:49.

politicians, Parliamentarians and said that he would clamp down on it.

:03:49.:03:53.

The Conservative Party today has stressed it is in the coalition

:03:53.:03:57.

agreement to introduce a registers lobby. They said they are going to

:03:57.:04:01.

do that, but it would take time to get it right. It's obviously not

:04:01.:04:04.

good news for David Cameron when a long-standing member of Parliament,

:04:04.:04:09.

a backbencher who used to be a Shadow minister resigns. But

:04:09.:04:13.

obviously, he's not resigned to go off to another party. He won't be

:04:13.:04:17.

standing at the next election, he said, butt Conservative Party is

:04:17.:04:19.

stressing there will not be a by-election.

:04:19.:04:23.

Thank you very much. An inquest has been opened and

:04:23.:04:27.

adjourned into the death of Drummer Lee Rigby, who was attacked near

:04:27.:04:31.

Woolwich Barracks in south-east London last week. Southwark

:04:31.:04:35.

Coroners' Court was told he died from multiple stab wounds and was

:04:35.:04:39.

identified by dental records in. A statement Lee Rigby's family has

:04:39.:04:42.

appealed for calm, saying he wouldn't want people to use his name

:04:42.:04:50.

as an excuse to carry out attacks against others.

:04:50.:04:56.

After nine days, there is just enough room for more flowers. At the

:04:56.:05:03.

barracks where Lee Rigby served and the place he died, they carpet the

:05:03.:05:09.

pavements and cover and -- the railings. There will be a full

:05:09.:05:15.

increst into Lee Rigby's death. But once criminal proceedings are

:05:15.:05:20.

completed. Giving brief details detective Chief Inspector, who is

:05:20.:05:23.

leading the investigation said Lee Rigby had been returning to barracks

:05:23.:05:27.

from the Tower of London, where he had been working, when a car swerved

:05:27.:05:31.

across the road and hit him. The two occupants then got out and attacked

:05:31.:05:38.

him with a meat cleaver and a knife. His body had to be identified by a

:05:38.:05:43.

forensic dental expert. The tower is headquarters to Lee Rigby's

:05:43.:05:47.

regiment, the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. There have already been

:05:47.:05:51.

protests at his death and this weekend, more are planned. But an

:05:51.:05:55.

association for those who served with the royal fusiliers has warned

:05:55.:06:00.

retired members that demonstrators are courting them and exploiting Lee

:06:00.:06:03.

Rigby's death for their own ends. Today, the Rigby family released a

:06:03.:06:06.

Today, the Rigby family released a new statement: " We would like to

:06:06.:06:10.

emphasise that Lee would not want people to use his name as an excuse

:06:10.:06:15.

to carry out attacks against others. We would not wish any other families

:06:15.:06:18.

to go through this harrowing to go through this harrowing

:06:18.:06:21.

experience." The Metropolitan Police have refuse

:06:21.:06:24.

aid request by the British National Party to march from Woolwich

:06:24.:06:29.

Barracks to a nearby Islamic centre. If anybody turned up in contrary to

:06:29.:06:32.

the directions we have set, they are committing an offence for which they

:06:32.:06:35.

can be arrested. That is an operational decision that will be

:06:36.:06:41.

made on the day. The BNP leader promised to defy the police, though

:06:41.:06:44.

he asked members to meet at a Westminster location, agreed with

:06:44.:06:52.

the Met, as a first step. The Queen made a long scheduled visit to

:06:52.:06:56.

Woolwich Barracks this morning, but changed plans so she could meet away

:06:56.:07:00.

from the cameras officers an soldiers who knew drummer Lee Rigby,

:07:00.:07:05.

a private acknowledgement of the events of last week.

:07:05.:07:09.

The Queen is paying that visit. Our Royal Correspondent is there. Nick,

:07:09.:07:15.

take us through who she's been meeting. A rather curious visit

:07:15.:07:20.

really. A long-planned visit. The purpose of it in coming to Woolwich

:07:20.:07:25.

Barracks is to see the headquarters of the royal horse artillery. She's

:07:25.:07:29.

seen a lot of horses, demonstrations of riding. She's having lunch at the

:07:29.:07:33.

moment. What she is not doing, we are told, is taking a few minutes to

:07:33.:07:38.

go and see the many of hundreds of floral tributes to Drummer Lee Rigby

:07:38.:07:41.

which rest just outside Woolwich Barracks a few hundred yards to my

:07:41.:07:46.

left. That is a decision which I suspect some people, perhaps many

:07:46.:07:50.

people, will find, well, a little surprising. Palace officials are at

:07:50.:07:55.

a bit of a loss to explain it other than it is a long-planned visit to

:07:55.:08:00.

the king's troop and that's pretty much it. She will meet privately

:08:00.:08:05.

with about half a dozen people who were involved in the response last

:08:05.:08:09.

week. These are people in the military chain of command, so

:08:09.:08:14.

officers. The head of state, yes, here at Woolwich Barracks, but no

:08:14.:08:17.

public acknowledgement of the tragic events of last week.

:08:17.:08:23.

Thank you. Just to say, in the last few minutes, the Crown Prosecution

:08:23.:08:31.

Service has said that Abu Nasiba a friend of Michael Adebolajo has been

:08:32.:08:34.

charged with three terrorist offences.

:08:34.:08:38.

The Foreign Office is investigating reports that a British man has been

:08:38.:08:42.

killed in Syria along with two others. A UK-based monitoring group

:08:42.:08:46.

says the man had a British passport but could not verify its

:08:46.:08:50.

authenticity. The man was killed along with an American woman and

:08:50.:08:57.

another man in Idlib province. There are also reportses from the

:08:57.:09:02.

strategically city of Qusair that people are trapped in the rebel-held

:09:02.:09:08.

district of the city with no access to medical assistance.

:09:08.:09:13.

Three foreigners died when their car was riddled by gunfire. One has been

:09:13.:09:16.

identified as an American woman, who converted to Islam. The Foreign

:09:16.:09:21.

Office is trying to establish whether what appears to be a UK

:09:21.:09:25.

passport, means a man who also died, was British. If so, he'd be the

:09:25.:09:28.

second Briton killed in Syria this week. A young British doctor died

:09:28.:09:34.

when the clinic he was working in was hit by a shell. All this came as

:09:34.:09:39.

the battle for Qusair, further to the south was intensifying.

:09:39.:09:43.

Government troops and Hezbollah fighters closed in around the town.

:09:43.:09:49.

Rebels were trapped with supply lines cut, so too civilians and cash

:09:49.:09:52.

well toys. Doctors say conditions are desperate.

:09:52.:09:56.

TRANSLATION: The situation is very bad. We have more than wounded # 00

:09:56.:10:01.

people. We have no -- 600 people. We have no access to medical help.

:10:01.:10:04.

Hezbollah has made a huge difference in the fighting. It has definitely

:10:04.:10:11.

changed the balance and strengthened the Assad army. Western leaders are

:10:11.:10:14.

frustrated by the opposition in-fighting and the apparently

:10:14.:10:19.

open-ended flow of arms from Iran and Russia to the regime. This is

:10:19.:10:29.

the most pressing crisis in world affairs today. The continued flow of

:10:29.:10:36.

weapons to the regime, the difficulties and disagreements about

:10:36.:10:41.

attending the Geneva talks don't help at all. So the battle for

:10:41.:10:45.

Qusair and for Syria goes on. Even if the Peace Conference does get

:10:45.:10:49.

under way, there's not much optimism that it will be able to come up with

:10:49.:10:56.

a viable formula for halting the carnage.

:10:56.:11:00.

Unemployment across the eurozone has risen to a new high. Another 95,000

:11:00.:11:03.

people joined the ranks of the jobless taking the total to one in

:11:04.:11:08.

eight of the workforce. Italy is one of the hardest hit, where

:11:08.:11:12.

unemployment is at the highest level for more than 36 years. There's been

:11:13.:11:18.

slightly more positive signs from the UK.

:11:18.:11:22.

The queues of job seekers across the eurozone are growing with the

:11:22.:11:26.

percentage out of work now at 12. 2%, it's seen as a major social

:11:26.:11:29.

problem as well as an economic one. In Greece, for example, school

:11:30.:11:33.

leavers like these have not much to look forward to in an economy where

:11:33.:11:39.

more than half of young people are out of work. A lot of unemployment.

:11:39.:11:44.

A lot of not good payment, not good opportunities. So we have to go

:11:44.:11:51.

abroad. It will be very difficult to find a job in my country, but I will

:11:51.:11:55.

try. Spain, too, it's a gloomy picture, with more than a quarter of

:11:55.:12:00.

the working-age population looking for work. These are troubled times

:12:00.:12:03.

for many eurozone economies, but there's been a more positive outlook

:12:03.:12:07.

for the UK today. The British Chambers of Commerce have revised

:12:07.:12:13.

their growth forecast up from 0. 6% this year to 0. 9%. And look ago

:12:13.:12:17.

head to next year, they've -- looking ahead to next year, it's up

:12:17.:12:23.

from 1. 7% to 1. 9% growth. Consumer spending has been doing reasonably

:12:23.:12:27.

well. In our view is likely to do well in the future, not

:12:27.:12:30.

marvellously, but better than predicted. And from the housing

:12:30.:12:35.

market this week, there's been news of faster price rises and a bigger

:12:36.:12:39.

monthly increase in mortgage lending. We've seen some house price

:12:39.:12:44.

measures nudge up in the last month. There does seem to be more

:12:44.:12:47.

confidence in the market. Many people are reporting more levels of

:12:47.:12:53.

activity. But over the longer term, the next five years or so, we

:12:53.:12:59.

anticipate that prices won't rise significantly in real terms. The UK

:12:59.:13:02.

isn't immune from what's happening in the eurozone. There was a police

:13:02.:13:07.

barricade outside the European Central Bank in Frankfurt today as

:13:07.:13:11.

demonstrators mounted a protest against austerity policies, given

:13:11.:13:14.

the importance of trading links, a continued downturn in these

:13:14.:13:19.

economies will get in the way of a UK recovery.

:13:19.:13:23.

Police have been given more time to question a man on suspicion of the

:13:23.:13:27.

murder of the missing Shropshire teenager Georgia Williams. Georgia

:13:27.:13:30.

was last seen in Wellington on Sunday. The suspect, who is 22 and

:13:30.:13:35.

from the town, was arrested in Glasgow three days ago.

:13:35.:13:40.

The widow of one of six British hostages killed in January's siege

:13:40.:13:45.

of an Algerian gas facility has said she's still had no explanation of

:13:45.:13:48.

how her husband died. Lorraine Barlow described how her husband

:13:48.:13:54.

rang her after he was taken hostage and had explosives strapped around

:13:54.:13:59.

him. She sells she's shocked by the attitude of BP who jointly runs the

:13:59.:14:01.

site. Lorraine Barlow shows me the most

:14:01.:14:06.

recent photos of her husband, Garry, out at work in Algeria, days after

:14:06.:14:11.

these pictures were taken on his 50th birthday he rang her. He told

:14:11.:14:17.

me that I needed to stay very calm and I knew as soon as he said that

:14:17.:14:21.

there was something really wrong. He proceeded to tell me he had been

:14:21.:14:27.

taken hostage by Al-Qaeda mujahideen and they had made him wear

:14:27.:14:36.

explosives. Heavily armed extremists had attacked Algeria's plant. Garry

:14:36.:14:40.

Barlow was one of more than six Britons killed. He was employed by

:14:40.:14:46.

an agency to work at the joint venture which includes BP. He

:14:46.:14:52.

considered himself to be working for the company. His widow was

:14:52.:14:56.

distressed by the company's attitude. They don't feel as though

:14:56.:15:01.

they have any responsibility to tell using in. I find it quite shocking

:15:01.:15:05.

and inhumane to the extreme. declined our request for an

:15:05.:15:10.

interview in. A statement it says the plant is in a military zone,

:15:10.:15:13.

under the control of the Algerian armed forces. How the terrorists got

:15:13.:15:18.

through security to attack the plant is an unresolved question. It said

:15:18.:15:22.

the investigation being carried out by the British police on behalf of

:15:22.:15:26.

the Coroner will be more comprehensive than if BP had carried

:15:26.:15:31.

out an internal inquiry. The Prime Minister went to Algeria within

:15:31.:15:35.

weeks of the attack. The Algerian authorities are leading the

:15:35.:15:38.

investigation and officers from Scotland Yard's antiterrorist squad

:15:38.:15:42.

have been to the scene to gather evidence for the British inquests

:15:42.:15:46.

which are due to start next year pt He received no protection. I'd like

:15:46.:15:52.

to know why. I'd like to know exactly what happened. I'd like to

:15:52.:15:56.

know who was responsible, who made decisions. Lawyers for the widow of

:15:56.:16:00.

Garry Barlow and other British families say they want a full and

:16:00.:16:02.

transparent investigation to get to transparent investigation to get to

:16:02.:16:03.

transparent investigation to get to transparent investigation to get to

:16:03.:16:13.
:16:13.:16:13.

the truth. The top story this lunchtime: The Conservative MP

:16:13.:16:18.

Patrick Mercer leaves the Parliamentary party over a programme

:16:18.:16:23.

on the BBC alleging he broke lobby rules. Later, we will have all the

:16:23.:16:33.
:16:33.:16:47.

sport, where England were put into for your health? The Curiosity Rover

:16:47.:16:53.

has found any astronaut on a Mars mission would be at Vics -- risk of

:16:53.:17:03.
:17:03.:17:09.

getting cancer because of the high health warning. Using interests --

:17:09.:17:13.

instruments on the Curiosity Rover, scientists have measured the

:17:13.:17:17.

radiation and astronaut would receive. They found the journey to

:17:17.:17:21.

the red planet would be the most dangerous part of the mission, with

:17:21.:17:25.

astronauts getting bombarded with dangerous particles from the sun as

:17:25.:17:29.

well as cosmic rays from deep space. This would significantly increase

:17:29.:17:33.

their chance of getting cancer and could damage tissue in the brain.

:17:33.:17:37.

Even on earth, we are exposed to background radiation all the time.

:17:37.:17:47.
:17:47.:17:49.

Each year, we receive many of them. If you have a CT scan, you are

:17:49.:17:55.

exposed to ten millisievert. In space, the number goes up. For a

:17:55.:18:01.

mission to Mars, it is estimated to be 640. That is about a lifetime's

:18:01.:18:11.
:18:11.:18:16.

space travel has always been rescued. Many argue this should not

:18:17.:18:24.

stand in the way. -- always been dangerous. Mars is definitely worse

:18:24.:18:28.

bit -- worth the trouble. We have always done this as a species, and

:18:28.:18:32.

there is nothing about this time in history that means we should not do

:18:32.:18:40.

it. What is left to explore? only real solution is to improve the

:18:40.:18:46.

shielding on the spacecraft or to get there much quicker. Current

:18:46.:18:51.

rockets take six months to make the journey. New propulsion systems are

:18:51.:18:56.

needed to do it in weeks. Private companies have now set their sights

:18:56.:19:01.

on the red planet. They want the glory of being the first to set foot

:19:01.:19:08.

on Mars. It could be a risk some are willing to take. There are renewed

:19:08.:19:10.

calls for tighter restrictions on Internet pornography following the

:19:10.:19:15.

conviction of Mark Bridger for the murder of April Jones. He was

:19:15.:19:19.

sentenced to life imprisonment for kidnapping and killing her. A

:19:19.:19:25.

government adviser has said Google and other search engines should make

:19:25.:19:33.

it much more difficult for people to view images of child abuse. Mark

:19:33.:19:39.

Bridger was well-known and well liked in the streets before he

:19:39.:19:42.

abducted April Jones. Few could have believed he was capable of the

:19:42.:19:47.

crime. During the trial, very different picture was revealed, of a

:19:47.:19:50.

man who use the Internet to prey on vulnerable young children and who

:19:50.:19:59.

deceived this community. Hours before he abducted April Jones, Mark

:20:00.:20:03.

Bridger was viewing a graphic image of child abuse on his computer.

:20:03.:20:08.

Please searching his home found a library of images downloaded from

:20:08.:20:11.

the Internet. -- the police searching his home. Now they are

:20:11.:20:18.

calls for tougher controls, forcing anyone who views pornography to

:20:18.:20:25.

agree first. If the companies step up to the mark, we can do anything,

:20:25.:20:30.

but they have to want to do it. Google has $35 billion in cash in

:20:30.:20:37.

its bank account. April Jones's murder has opened a difficult debate

:20:37.:20:40.

about how to prevent abuse, and whether anyone can police the

:20:40.:20:48.

Internet. We have a zero tolerance policy for this imagery, we work

:20:48.:20:51.

closely with organisations in the UK and around the world to fund them

:20:51.:20:55.

and make sure when they send us information about these sites we

:20:55.:20:59.

remove it quickly. We count on our billions of users around the world

:20:59.:21:04.

and reported to the authorities. Mark Bridger claimed he was

:21:10.:21:14.

collecting indecent images in order to complain about them. His lies

:21:14.:21:20.

have sickened the community he lives in, as has his refusal to reveal

:21:20.:21:26.

what he did with the body. When he gives not to the magnitude of his

:21:26.:21:32.

offence, the horrific nature, he should definitely say what he did

:21:32.:21:38.

with her. There can be no question about that. How can a man be so

:21:38.:21:46.

unfeeling? The months since April Jones's disappearance have been

:21:46.:21:51.

difficult to bear. Thoughts have to be for the future, making sure it is

:21:51.:21:57.

one where children are protected. The trial also raised questions

:21:57.:22:02.

about the use of social networking sites. He used Facebook to look at

:22:02.:22:07.

pictures of local schoolgirls, put there by parents and viewed by a man

:22:07.:22:15.

who harboured morbid fantasies. A badger cull will be underway into

:22:15.:22:21.

test areas in West Somerset and West Gloucestershire tomorrow to try to

:22:21.:22:25.

stop the spread of bovine TB, which costs dairy farmers thousands of

:22:25.:22:32.

pounds. Wildlife groups say shooting badgers will not help. Badgers, they

:22:32.:22:38.

are cute and curious, but they also carry bovine TB, and disease having

:22:38.:22:42.

a devastating impact on cattle herds. News of the pilot badger cull

:22:42.:22:49.

is has been welcomed by many farmers. We caught up with David

:22:49.:22:54.

Batty last autumn. The vet was carrying out skin tests for bovine

:22:54.:23:01.

TB, and time and time again, the news was bad. It was a positive

:23:01.:23:11.
:23:11.:23:12.

test, dozens of his herd marked out to be killed within 24 hours. Still

:23:12.:23:17.

today, bovine TB continues its impact on the herd. For him, the

:23:17.:23:22.

Carl is essential. We can get rid of it in the cattle herd very quickly.

:23:22.:23:27.

I keep getting clear of it and then it gets reinfected. Without being

:23:27.:23:30.

able to control the badgers we will never get rid of it. In West

:23:30.:23:39.

Gloucestershire, they aim to shoot up to 2932 badgers. In West Somerset

:23:39.:23:46.

it is up to 2162 badgers. The government scientist suggest the

:23:46.:23:49.

four-year programme will reduce the spread of TB in cattle in each zone

:23:49.:23:57.

by fitting -- by 16%. 13 leading scientists have given their opinion

:23:57.:24:02.

on this Carl and they -- they impose it -- they oppose it because it does

:24:02.:24:12.

not make a meaningful difference to bovine TB in cattle. The opposing

:24:12.:24:16.

sides of this polarised debate cannot begin to agree on how best to

:24:16.:24:22.

tackle the problem. There is no question this is among the most

:24:22.:24:25.

contentious issues facing the British countryside today.

:24:25.:24:28.

Supporters of the cull is a similar measures in other countries

:24:28.:24:31.

including Ireland have worked, but the opponents insist that there is

:24:31.:24:38.

no scientific duster vacation for the killing of thousands of badgers.

:24:38.:24:44.

-- scientific justification. The Office of Fair Trading has been

:24:44.:24:51.

accused of being ineffective and timid in attempts to deal with

:24:52.:24:59.

companies offering high interest loans. The OST said it had taken

:24:59.:25:09.
:25:09.:25:10.

strong action. Debt, it is all a deal with at this helpline, and they

:25:10.:25:13.

are now getting one call every seven minutes from people needing help

:25:13.:25:23.
:25:23.:25:24.

with payday loans is top. It is a quick fix. People are quite able to

:25:25.:25:28.

borrow this money for a short period of time, some of the people taking

:25:28.:25:32.

out the money do not understand how soon the money needs to be paid

:25:32.:25:41.

back. If you cannot pay it back, the debt can spiral out of control. MPs

:25:41.:25:46.

say unscrupulous behaviour is costing borrowers at least �450

:25:46.:25:51.

million per year, and they are scathing about how this market is

:25:51.:25:57.

police. The Office of Fair Trading do not know how many firms are

:25:57.:26:03.

lending, they have never find a lender for exploiting individual

:26:03.:26:10.

clients, and they very rarely revoke a licence. In a statement, the

:26:10.:26:14.

Office of Fair Trading said far from being timid, they can take strong,

:26:14.:26:24.
:26:24.:26:38.

consumer incomes are squeezed and they struggle to access credit

:26:38.:26:45.

through mainstream lenders. Campaigners want better options.

:26:45.:26:47.

need to see alternatives, affordable, sensible lending, good

:26:47.:26:52.

debt advice. It is those things together that will mean the industry

:26:52.:26:58.

will not be needed. With more than 2 million customers, payday loans are

:26:58.:27:04.

filling a gap, but tougher action is being promised when a new regulator

:27:04.:27:10.

takes over in April. England's friendly with Brazil is expected to

:27:10.:27:15.

go ahead on Sunday despite safety concerns at the recently renovated

:27:15.:27:25.
:27:25.:27:25.

stadium. A court order suspended the game but a few hours later that was

:27:25.:27:33.

revoked. It will be the first match at the stadium. England's

:27:33.:27:37.

footballers arrived in Brazil after a long transatlantic flight. Knowing

:27:37.:27:41.

there had been concerns about stadium readiness, but unaware of

:27:41.:27:46.

the match might be in jeopardy. have had reassurances from various

:27:46.:27:52.

organisations. The main priority is to be here this week, to be as open

:27:52.:27:59.

and accessible to people as we can be and enjoy the experience. As the

:27:59.:28:03.

England players loosened up on the beach, a judge issued an injunction

:28:03.:28:08.

suspending the game on Sunday. It is the first official match to be

:28:08.:28:12.

played at the Maracana Stadium. The judge ruled there was not enough

:28:12.:28:18.

public safety guaranteed at the stadium, which had just been

:28:18.:28:25.

refurbished. Although the seating has been completed, the amount of

:28:25.:28:32.

rubble and building the serial lying around was referred to by the judge.

:28:32.:28:39.

Late last night, the state government said relevant safety

:28:39.:28:43.

requirements had been satisfied and the game would go ahead. But this is

:28:43.:28:51.

still a huge embarrassment ahead of the World Cup. Fever have

:28:51.:29:01.
:29:01.:29:09.

consistently bemoaned the slow there is going to be sunshine! There

:29:09.:29:18.

is. It is looking lovely. Depending how much cloud and sunshine we get,

:29:18.:29:23.

for a lot of us, overall, looking at the UK it will be warm and sunny. It

:29:23.:29:28.

has not been the case for many of us this morning. Look at the cloud

:29:28.:29:33.

across central and eastern England. Very gloomy. The sun is strong at

:29:33.:29:39.

this time of year, it burns the clouds away. Actually, the weather

:29:39.:29:43.

across the bulk of England and Wales is looking fine. In the north, it is

:29:43.:29:48.

more cloudy. We will get to that bit in a second. Over the next couple of

:29:48.:29:53.

days we have the Derby. It is tomorrow. The weather is looking

:29:53.:29:58.

pretty good. I would not concentrate on the temperature. If you get the

:29:58.:30:03.

sunshine, regardless of whether it is 16 or 19 degrees, it will feel

:30:03.:30:10.

warm. Looking across the South, temperatures could reach 22 degrees.

:30:10.:30:17.

Very pleasant across the South. The coast of Wales will be colder. If we

:30:17.:30:22.

hop across the Irish Sea, into Northern Ireland, the cloud is

:30:22.:30:27.

bicker, there is rain, we have already had some this morning. What

:30:27.:30:32.

you will find is as the afternoon progresses, the cloud and the rain

:30:32.:30:37.

that we have across this part of the world will die down. For Yorkshire,

:30:38.:30:41.

apart from a little shower across the Pennines, the weather is looking

:30:41.:30:49.

good. This evening, quite good across the south of the country. The

:30:49.:30:58.

weather should be dried forward most of the UK -- driver most of the UK.

:30:58.:31:01.

Through Saturday at self, we have been promising you this in the last

:31:01.:31:06.

few days, high pressure builds, this is the good weather coming in, this

:31:06.:31:10.

is what we would like across the UK most of the time. That translates

:31:11.:31:20.

into plenty of bright weather. Not necessarily everywhere, because

:31:20.:31:26.

showers will be brewing across the North. It will be fresher. It should

:31:27.:31:32.

feel fairly similar. Sunday, copycat conditions, about 19 in the London

:31:32.:31:42.
:31:42.:31:48.
