provider of the NHS nonemergency telephone service in England seeks

:00:14.:00:18.

to pull out of its contract. The helpline service has been beset with

:00:18.:00:24.

problems. Now NHS Direct says the regional contracts are financially

:00:24.:00:27.

unsustainable and we will assess the impact on the NHS helpline and what

:00:27.:00:33.

it means for patients. At least 39 people are killed after a coach

:00:33.:00:39.

ploughs into cars and then plunges off a flyover in southern Italy. Not

:00:39.:00:42.

doing enough. MPs criticise the energy regulator for keeping

:00:42.:00:48.

customers in the dark over company profits. The road to nowhere. Queues

:00:48.:00:51.

of up to six hours as Spanish authorities are accused of

:00:51.:00:57.

deliberately delaying motorists in Gibraltar. A warning to walkers and

:00:57.:01:03.

sunbathers as more of the Jurassic coastline falls into the sea. Coming

:01:03.:01:07.

up in the sport, Olympic heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis-Hill has a

:01:07.:01:10.

good chance of competing at next month 's world championships

:01:10.:01:20.
:01:20.:01:35.

according to the UK athletics News at one o'clock. The guest

:01:35.:01:40.

single provider of the NHS 111 helpline service has announced its

:01:40.:01:45.

to pull out of its remaining contracts. NHS Direct which one

:01:45.:01:49.

about a quarter of the 46 local services across England said the

:01:49.:01:52.

deal was financially unsustainable. The scheme has been plagued with

:01:52.:02:02.
:02:02.:02:04.

problems since it began. NHS 111.It was set up to provide help for

:02:04.:02:07.

urgent medical problems across England and in some areas like the

:02:07.:02:10.

north-east where 111 is run by the local ambulance service, it seems to

:02:10.:02:14.

be working well but elsewhere, there have been significant problems. And

:02:14.:02:18.

now the biggest single supplier of services is pulling out of its

:02:18.:02:25.

contract. NHS Direct initially won 11 out of 46 contract, earlier this

:02:25.:02:28.

month pulling out two of them and has now announced the remaining nine

:02:28.:02:38.
:02:38.:02:53.

will also be cancelled. In a have complained of unanswered calls

:02:53.:02:58.

and poor advice. NHS England, who pays for 111, says the service has

:02:58.:03:05.

now improved in most areas. I am confident the 90% operating now is

:03:05.:03:07.

operating too much improved standards. There are still some

:03:07.:03:11.

places where the need to seek a further improvement to make sure

:03:11.:03:17.

that the response times to patients are really, really very fast indeed.

:03:17.:03:22.

Many agree the idea behind an urgent care helpline to ease pressure on

:03:22.:03:26.

NHS emergency services is a good one. In Scotland, the comparator

:03:26.:03:29.

will helpline seems to be well regarded. Critics say the

:03:29.:03:35.

introduction of the 111 service in England was poorly managed.

:03:35.:03:40.

augmentation has been an abject failure. At the heart of this, has

:03:40.:03:44.

been the drive by government to enforce a competitive tendering

:03:44.:03:50.

approach in the NHS. NHS England will now look for other providers to

:03:50.:03:55.

fill the considerable gap which will be left by NHS Direct. Local

:03:55.:03:58.

ambulance trusts are likely to take over the contracts about the

:03:58.:04:02.

collapse of the services run by NHS Direct will do nothing to improve

:04:02.:04:08.

patient confidence. If you want more information on the changes to the

:04:08.:04:13.

NHS Direct service there was a question-and-answer section on the

:04:13.:04:22.

BBC website. At least 30 people have been killed after coach hit several

:04:22.:04:26.

cars and crashed into a ravine in southern Italy. The bus came off a

:04:26.:04:30.

viaduct near Naples and fell 100 feet down a steep slope. It's

:04:30.:04:33.

thought the coach had been taking about 50 people including children,

:04:33.:04:43.
:04:43.:04:48.

rescue survivors in what is Italy 's worst road accident for decades. The

:04:48.:04:51.

crash happened at nightfall on Sunday. Traffic on the viaduct

:04:52.:04:57.

through the mountains that slowed to a crawl as Neapolitans were

:04:57.:05:00.

returning home after a day in the country. According to one of the

:05:00.:05:04.

survivors, the bus driver, among the dead, appears to have lost control

:05:05.:05:10.

of the vehicle as he went downhill. The bus careered into a queue of

:05:10.:05:16.

cars leaving them battered and strewn across the road.

:05:16.:05:22.

TRANSLATION: All of a sudden we heard some bangs behind us. And then

:05:22.:05:26.

we were crashed into and we didn't even see the coach at all. It was

:05:26.:05:29.

here it broke through the guardrail plunging 30 metres into a wooded

:05:29.:05:36.

ravine. TRANSLATION: Speaking as someone who

:05:36.:05:40.

drives, not as a technician of the fire brigade, I would think that the

:05:40.:05:44.

barriers on the viaduct and bridge should prevent this type of accident

:05:44.:05:47.

but evidently, it seems the impact was so strong, even the barrier gave

:05:47.:05:54.

way. Relatives of the victims gathered at a makeshift morgue at a

:05:54.:06:00.

local school. TRANSLATION: I saw what the doctors

:06:00.:06:03.

and firefighters did who worked so hard to recover the bodies. I saw

:06:04.:06:08.

the doctors with blankets full of blood. It was something truly

:06:08.:06:12.

remarkable. Accident victims, including children, had been

:06:12.:06:15.

visiting an area known for its hot streams and had been on their way

:06:15.:06:24.

back to Naples when the bus left the road. Exactly what happened is

:06:24.:06:30.

unclear but an investigation has just begun.

:06:30.:06:35.

? la correspondence is at the scene of the crash near Monteforte Irpino.

:06:35.:06:41.

Have they established yet what happened? Well, let me just say that

:06:41.:06:45.

at the scene of this horrific crash, what strikes you most

:06:45.:06:50.

forcibly is just how far this bus fell, how hard it must have landed.

:06:50.:06:54.

I think you might be able to see where the road is here, at this

:06:54.:07:03.

point, high above this ravine that I'm standing in. Up there, the bus

:07:03.:07:07.

hammered its way through a string of basically stationary, moving very

:07:07.:07:12.

slowly, cars, and then rammed against the guardrail which gave way

:07:12.:07:16.

and then the bus plunge down through the trees you see behind me, coming

:07:16.:07:21.

to rest on the earth just over there. Through the night, the rescue

:07:21.:07:25.

workers were to try to find survivors to tender to the injured

:07:25.:07:29.

and to gather up the dead but, by dawn, their work had been done and

:07:29.:07:33.

most of the wreck is now being taken away but if you step over there, you

:07:33.:07:38.

can see some of the interior of the bus, rows of seats and so on, and in

:07:38.:07:44.

among the debris, very much more personal items. I saw a pair of

:07:44.:07:47.

women's silver shoes, some flip-flops, and a child's stuffed

:07:47.:07:51.

toy, the kind of thing you would expect a family to take with them on

:07:51.:07:56.

an excursion like this, a weekend away in the country for a bit of

:07:56.:08:00.

fun. Along with a shock in the morning, people are asking how could

:08:00.:08:06.

this possibly have happened? Why was the bus so badly out of control? Why

:08:06.:08:11.

didn't it just join the queue of cars? There are no real answers yet.

:08:11.:08:15.

It's possible it's down to the driver, there could be mechanical

:08:15.:08:20.

fault, maybe a tyre burst. We just don't know but that enquiry is

:08:20.:08:25.

underway as I speak. Allen, thank you very much. The driver of the

:08:25.:08:29.

Spanish train that derailed last week killing 79 people, could face

:08:29.:08:32.

multiple charges of negligent homicide. Francisco Jose Garzon has

:08:32.:08:36.

been released from his custody pending further enquiries and must

:08:36.:08:40.

now appear in court once a week. He is forbidden from leaving Spain and

:08:41.:08:47.

his train drivers license has been withdrawn. Energy companies are

:08:47.:08:50.

keeping consumers in the dark when it comes to explaining their

:08:50.:08:54.

pockets, the claim from MPs who warn that customers are losing trust in

:08:54.:09:01.

the big six energy companies as a result. They have been urged to do

:09:01.:09:08.

more to restore confidence, off Gemma. -- off Gemma. How much money

:09:08.:09:12.

do the big six energy supplies rarely make and are the prices they

:09:12.:09:16.

charge us fair? MPs have been investigating this for months to

:09:16.:09:23.

work out if the industry is making excessive profits. Their answer?

:09:23.:09:26.

always have to say probably because you don't know for certain what they

:09:26.:09:30.

are making. They tell you what they make in retail but never in the

:09:30.:09:37.

generation part of it. We think it's about 20% on generation and about 2%

:09:38.:09:43.

- 5% on retail. That sounds quite excessive to me. The main energy

:09:43.:09:45.

companies don't just generate electricity but traded on wholesale

:09:45.:09:50.

markets and sell it to us, too. MPs say it makes it difficult to work

:09:50.:09:55.

out where they make their money. But the big six firms insist they

:09:55.:09:59.

publish all necessary financial information and the profit margin

:09:59.:10:04.

supplying gas and electricity are low. A relatively small amount of

:10:04.:10:09.

the total bill that actually is profit, on an average deal fuel

:10:09.:10:14.

energy bill, it's only about �8 a month is profit. So I don't think

:10:14.:10:18.

that's unreasonable, especially when you consider how much we have got to

:10:18.:10:22.

invest in new power generators and all the other things this country

:10:22.:10:26.

needs so it energy secure. report lays much of the blame here

:10:26.:10:31.

at the door of the energy regulator Ofgem, accused of failing consumers

:10:31.:10:36.

by not taking all possible steps to improve openness and increase

:10:36.:10:41.

competition. The committee has asked us today to reconsider the costs and

:10:41.:10:45.

benefits equation. We have received a full report from the committee. We

:10:45.:10:48.

want to absorb that and we absolutely want to look at the

:10:48.:10:52.

recommendations the committee has made. Labour argues ever higher

:10:52.:10:56.

household bills are evidence that Ofgem should be scrapped by the

:10:56.:10:58.

government insists it's given the regulator more teeth to strengthen

:10:58.:11:03.

competition. There is greater transparency so there's more trust

:11:04.:11:08.

for consumers but also, on peoples bills, were actually pay, gas and

:11:08.:11:12.

electors of the bills, they are simpler and fairer and clearer and

:11:12.:11:17.

the government has been acting Ofgem to get that done. But there was

:11:17.:11:21.

criticism of the government to for reducing spending to help low-income

:11:21.:11:25.

households in England at a time when energy bills are becoming

:11:25.:11:30.

increasingly unaffordable for many. John is here with me now and

:11:30.:11:33.

something else the report highlighted was the fact all a bill

:11:33.:11:39.

payers, including the poorer bill payers, are also having to pay

:11:39.:11:42.

subsidised renewable energy? Yes, in the autumn looks like we're going to

:11:42.:11:46.

see another round of energy price rises and, interestingly, it's not

:11:46.:11:50.

because gas and electricity is going up, they are relatively flat. The

:11:50.:11:55.

reason is because firms are having to pay more towards the social costs

:11:55.:12:00.

of energy efficiency etc, and we are paying more towards subsidies for

:12:00.:12:03.

renewable energy. This has been a policy of successive governments

:12:03.:12:08.

started under Labour. By 2020, 30% of our bills could be these extra

:12:08.:12:12.

levies and what the committee is asking is, is it fair the poorest

:12:12.:12:15.

households should have to pay towards all of this? Might it be

:12:15.:12:20.

fairer and more progressive if these green levies for example are paid

:12:20.:12:25.

through direct taxation as well? John, thank you. A man has been

:12:25.:12:29.

killed and a 13-year-old girl critically ill following a double

:12:29.:12:33.

stabbing at a house in Manchester. The incident happened in Austin area

:12:33.:12:39.

last night. Our correspondent Danny Savage has this report. It was late

:12:39.:12:43.

last night that police were called to this end of terrace house in

:12:43.:12:48.

North Manchester. Here they found the body of a 41-year-old man, named

:12:48.:12:52.

locally as Robert Jackson. Also inside, his 13-year-old daughter,

:12:52.:12:55.

with critical injuries. Both had been stabbed. Today, neighbours

:12:55.:13:00.

spoke of their shock. We are trying to put two and two together,

:13:00.:13:04.

41-year-old man and a 13-year-old girl, so my daughter walked around

:13:04.:13:08.

to where he used to live and asked the officers if that is where it was

:13:08.:13:12.

and they confirmed it. So, you know, my daughter came back and I felt

:13:12.:13:18.

sick. He was the nicest man you could ever meet. He would bend over

:13:18.:13:22.

backwards to help anybody. events here were not in isolation.

:13:22.:13:25.

Three hours after police discovered as murder scene, there was an

:13:25.:13:30.

incident at a pub a few miles away in Harpurhey after a reported

:13:30.:13:34.

carjacking. When officers approached the car, the driver sped off and

:13:34.:13:38.

ploughed straight into the side of the building. He was taken to

:13:38.:13:42.

hospital with injuries from the crash and a stab wound. He died a

:13:42.:13:49.

short time later. But why were a father and child of the target of

:13:49.:13:54.

such violence? It's left people here fearful. My kids want to move full

:13:54.:13:58.

survey don't like it. It's getting closer and closer, especially people

:13:58.:14:03.

you know, as well. Nobody else is being sought in connection with what

:14:03.:14:13.

happened here. The question is now focus on the motive. Senior

:14:13.:14:15.

Palestinian and Israeli officials are to meet in Washington later

:14:15.:14:18.

today for the first time in three years to discuss resuming peace

:14:19.:14:23.

talks. The meeting comes after six months of intense diplomacy by the

:14:23.:14:27.

US Secretary of State, John Kerry, who praised both sides for making

:14:27.:14:34.

difficult decisions. So far, every attempt to reach a

:14:35.:14:39.

peace deal between the Israelis and the Palestinians has failed. But

:14:39.:14:45.

now, thanks to intense diplomacy by the US Secretary of State John

:14:45.:14:48.

Kerry, the two sides are trying again to take steps towards a two

:14:48.:14:55.

state solution. Today negotiations will happen in Washington to work

:14:55.:15:01.

out a way forward. But they are not tackling the big issues yet.

:15:01.:15:03.

TRANSLATION: It's been 20 years since the Oslo agreement and the

:15:04.:15:07.

final settlement should have come years ago but the Israelis have

:15:07.:15:11.

increased settlement building and confiscated our land. For now, the

:15:11.:15:16.

leaders on saying much. This was when they last met three years ago.

:15:16.:15:21.

Neither wants to be blamed for blocking talks. But the issues at

:15:21.:15:25.

stake have alluded solutions for years. One of the most difficult is

:15:25.:15:29.

this place. The old city of Jerusalem with its holy sites.

:15:29.:15:34.

Claimed by both sides. And other complicated issues are at stake.

:15:34.:15:39.

Whether future borders will be. Jewish settlement in the occupied

:15:39.:15:45.

West Bank and what happens to Palestinian refugees? There's other

:15:45.:15:49.

complicated issues. Whether future borders should be, the question of

:15:49.:15:52.

Jewish settlement building in the occupied West Bank, and what happens

:15:53.:16:00.

to Palestinian refugees. The Palestinians wanted Israel to agree

:16:00.:16:04.

to release Palestinian prisoners before the talks began. The release

:16:04.:16:08.

was approved but the votes split the Israeli cabinet. Some of the

:16:08.:16:13.

prisoners have been held for years for killing Israelis. Before the

:16:13.:16:18.

vote, Israel's Prime Minister made an impassioned plea for support.

:16:18.:16:22.

TRANSLATION: This moment is not easy for me. It's not easy for the

:16:22.:16:25.

ministers. It is not easy especially for the families, the bereaved

:16:25.:16:30.

families whose hurt I understand. But there are moments in which tough

:16:30.:16:34.

decisions must be made for the good of the country. And this is one of

:16:34.:16:44.
:16:44.:16:44.

sceptical about whether their leaders will be able to reach a

:16:44.:16:53.

peace deal or even start talking. Our correspondent Kim Ghattas joins

:16:53.:16:57.

bee now from Washington, DC, these are talks about talks, how much

:16:57.:17:03.

optimism is there really? There is always cynicism when it comes to

:17:03.:17:07.

Middle East peace talks, but we have now this announcement, or this

:17:07.:17:12.

beginning of negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians for

:17:12.:17:17.

the first time in three years. John Kerry, the Secretary of State, will

:17:17.:17:21.

be hosting negotiators sent to Washington by Mahmoud Abbas and

:17:21.:17:26.

Benjamin Netanyahu. They have been sent to Washington, and he will be

:17:26.:17:29.

hosting them for dinner this evening in Washington at the State

:17:29.:17:33.

Department, and this will be the formal start of direct negotiations

:17:33.:17:39.

between the two sides for the first time in three years. Now, that in

:17:39.:17:43.

itself is quite an achievement, and it shows that John Kerry is

:17:43.:17:48.

determined to try to get some kind of success out of this. Now, as we

:17:48.:17:52.

saw in my colleague's report, there is a lot of apprehension on both

:17:52.:17:57.

sides. The Palestinians say, we have been here before, and the Israeli

:17:57.:18:01.

Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has spent the weekend trying to

:18:01.:18:06.

convince his Cabinet to back the peace process. When the two sides

:18:06.:18:11.

have not spoken for so long, there is a lot to be cleared up first. In

:18:11.:18:15.

Washington, they will begin by talking about procedural issues, the

:18:15.:18:20.

schedule, the format and the length and format and location of the

:18:20.:18:23.

negotiations. If all goes well, at the end of Tuesday, they will go

:18:23.:18:27.

home and they will agree on the next round of talks to be held in the

:18:27.:18:32.

region. It is coming up to 20 past one, our

:18:32.:18:39.

top story this lunchtime: Is the number of 4111? A major provider of

:18:39.:18:43.

the service seeks to pull out of its contracts. And still to come, good

:18:43.:18:46.

motorists soon be allowed to park on double yellow lines? It is a

:18:46.:18:50.

proposal to bring back life to the high street, but some are seeing red

:18:50.:19:00.
:19:00.:19:16.

The Government has raised serious concerns with Spain about long

:19:16.:19:20.

delays caused by the rise in vehicle searches at its border with

:19:20.:19:23.

Gibraltar. At the weekend, as temperatures soared, motorists have

:19:23.:19:28.

to endure queues of up to six hours, waiting for documents and

:19:28.:19:31.

vehicles to be checked. There are bought the delays could be linked to

:19:31.:19:37.

a fishing dispute between Spain and Gibraltar and the long-standing

:19:37.:19:39.

question of sovereignty. Diplomatic correspondent Bridget Kendall

:19:39.:19:44.

reports. Trapped for hours in traffic in the

:19:44.:19:49.

sweltering heat, the ordeal at the crossing into Spain in this weekend.

:19:49.:19:56.

Six hours, this is chaos. It has been held, to be honest.

:19:56.:19:59.

tailbacks brought Gibraltar to a standstill. We have got elderly

:19:59.:20:04.

people, diabetics, pregnant women, people going to weddings, people

:20:04.:20:10.

catching flights. You know, not everybody is happy, we cannot keep

:20:10.:20:15.

everybody happy all the time. But unfortunately, you know, this is the

:20:15.:20:18.

situation. It was lengthy border checks on the Spanish side that

:20:18.:20:23.

caused the logjam. Just Spain fulfilling its duty to stop

:20:23.:20:26.

smuggling, the Foreign Ministry in Madrid told us today, but the

:20:26.:20:30.

Gibraltar government called the weekend border chaos bullying amid

:20:30.:20:35.

concerns that the long-standing row over Spain's claim of sovereignty

:20:35.:20:42.

over the rock and its waters is escalating. When last week boats

:20:42.:20:47.

from Gibraltar tipped concrete blocks into the Bay of Gibraltar as

:20:47.:20:49.

part of a plan to create an artificial reef to encourage marine

:20:49.:20:57.

life, Spain was infuriated. Spanish boats nearly collided with Royal

:20:57.:21:03.

Gibraltar Police vassals, and Madrid formally complained to London that

:21:03.:21:08.

what it sees as its rightful fishing waters were being interfered with. A

:21:08.:21:12.

tiny outcrop near Spain's southernmost tip, the Rock of

:21:12.:21:18.

Gibraltar has been a British colony since 1713, exactly 300 years ago.

:21:18.:21:22.

This weekend's border crisis was resolved when William Hague rang the

:21:22.:21:28.

Spanish Foreign Minister directly to express his concern, but Spain's

:21:28.:21:32.

claim of sovereignty over Gibraltar and the underlying tensions remain.

:21:32.:21:39.

More border incidents, whether on land or sea, are likely.

:21:42.:21:46.

as Bridget was saying, this tickle episode seems to have been resolved

:21:46.:21:51.

but the row continues. That is right, Simon. I think there is some

:21:51.:21:53.

relief that these political delays have been sorted out, but everyone

:21:53.:21:58.

here knows that there have been these flare-ups in the past, and

:21:58.:22:02.

they could easily recur in the future. As you heard in that report,

:22:02.:22:07.

there is this ongoing dispute about fishing rights, about the rights

:22:07.:22:12.

over who controls the waters around Gibraltar, and the sovereignty of

:22:12.:22:15.

Gibraltar itself. I understand that the point that William Hague was

:22:15.:22:19.

making any phone call to his Spanish counterpart at the weekend was that

:22:19.:22:24.

these sort of disputes should not be used to inconvenience hundreds of

:22:24.:22:26.

families going around their legitimate business, wanting to

:22:26.:22:31.

cross that busy border. Clearly, this has paid off in this instance,

:22:31.:22:35.

and I think that both the British and Spanish governments are keen to

:22:35.:22:39.

make it clear that although there are these long-running sensitivities

:22:39.:22:43.

over Gibraltar, that will not affect the wider good relations between

:22:43.:22:49.

Spain and Britain. Controversial fees are being

:22:49.:22:52.

introduced for workers who take their employers to court. Some

:22:52.:22:57.

lawyers are warning that the new charges will dissuade many employees

:22:57.:23:00.

from making legitimate claims about discrimination in the workplace. It

:23:00.:23:03.

is the first time these have been introduced since employment tribunal

:23:03.:23:11.

is were created in the 1960s. Emma Simpson reports.

:23:11.:23:17.

Say no to fees! These changes are contentious. This morning, a small

:23:17.:23:20.

union protest outside an employment tribunal office to deliver a simple

:23:21.:23:26.

message. This ultimately removes justice for significant numbers of

:23:26.:23:29.

British workers. It is going to leave them less secure, it is going

:23:29.:23:32.

to be bad for the economy, and it is bad for the good businesses who

:23:32.:23:37.

treat their staff well. It is nearly 50 years since employment tribunal

:23:37.:23:44.

is began, and up until now workers have not have to pay to make a claim

:23:44.:23:46.

against their bosses. From today, new legislation means that it will

:23:46.:23:53.

cost. The fee will be �1200 to fight the most complex cases, like unfair

:23:53.:23:59.

dismissal or discrimination. There are more than 190,000 cases dealt

:23:59.:24:03.

with by employment tribunal is last year. It all adds up to an annual

:24:03.:24:09.

cost of �74 million. The Government says it is not fair on the taxpayer

:24:09.:24:14.

to put this entire bill. The move has been welcomed by small

:24:14.:24:18.

businesses. We believe that the introduction of employment tribunal

:24:18.:24:24.

fees will go some way to deterring more speculative claims before going

:24:24.:24:28.

to a tribunal, and therefore, in doing so, it will reduce some of the

:24:28.:24:32.

perceived risks of taking on staff on small businesses. There are

:24:32.:24:36.

strong feelings on both sides. The Government says workers on the

:24:36.:24:41.

lowest pay or on some benefits will not have to pay the new fees. But

:24:41.:24:46.

one big union, Unison, has been back in court today to challenge the

:24:46.:24:52.

controversial new legislation. The local governor Secretary Eric

:24:52.:24:55.

Pickles has suggested that motorists could park on double yellow lines

:24:56.:24:59.

for short periods without the risk of being fined. The change could

:24:59.:25:03.

help struggling high streets. The move has been opposed by Liberal

:25:03.:25:08.

Democrats, who say the idea is unworkable. Mike Sergeant has this

:25:08.:25:13.

story. Yes, this is Eric Pickles' own

:25:13.:25:16.

constituency, and you can see a double yellow line runs the length

:25:16.:25:20.

of most of the high street, and locals tell us that traffic wardens

:25:20.:25:24.

come pretty quickly if anyone stops here. The communities secretary

:25:24.:25:29.

wants the rules relaxed so that people can pull up, pop into pick up

:25:29.:25:32.

some groceries, 15 or 20 minutes, get back in their car and drive off.

:25:33.:25:39.

So what do people here think about the idea? Well, for a few minutes,

:25:39.:25:43.

ten minutes or so, it sounds like a good idea. Double yellow lines,

:25:43.:25:48.

there is a reason for it. Unless they have got a problem, they should

:25:48.:25:52.

make other arrangements. Outside shops probably, because people are

:25:52.:25:55.

struggling to make a living, especially outside grocers and

:25:55.:26:02.

things like that. But in general, I would say there should be.

:26:02.:26:05.

Conservative ministers think the idea can happen and that many local

:26:06.:26:10.

councils are trying to raise too much money out of motorists, but

:26:10.:26:14.

their Liberal Democrat coalition partners have deep reservations and

:26:14.:26:18.

say that the idea is probably unworkable. The motoring group the

:26:19.:26:22.

AA has also come out against the plan on the grounds of safety,

:26:22.:26:26.

saying that motorists want clear rules on the roads. So many

:26:26.:26:29.

different issues and a political divide to bridge before this or

:26:29.:26:37.

anything like it comes into being. Coastguards in England are urging

:26:37.:26:41.

people to take care on coastal path after a large landslip in Dorset

:26:41.:26:45.

over the weekend. There is now a dangerous cliff overhang at East

:26:45.:26:48.

Cliff and the nearby beach has been closed. Duncan Kennedy has this

:26:48.:26:53.

report. Unpredictable, unstoppable, and

:26:53.:26:57.

almost unimaginable. The sheer downward. Nature ripping another

:26:58.:27:03.

section out of this beautiful cliff, the junking of the Jurassic

:27:03.:27:07.

Coast complete in just a few seconds. Experts say this is turning

:27:07.:27:11.

into a record year for landslides, the result of extreme winter, spring

:27:11.:27:17.

and summer conditions. That rock as got to come down at some time or

:27:17.:27:21.

other, and it will just occur spontaneously. You cannot predict it

:27:21.:27:25.

or tell when it is going to happen, it is the inherent nature of the

:27:25.:27:30.

coast. Last year, and just 500 metres away, and other more deadly

:27:30.:27:34.

landslide. A 22-year-old woman was killed when this stretch of coast

:27:35.:27:41.

collapsed. 400 Suns came down, impossible to escape. -- 400 tonnes.

:27:41.:27:45.

The south-west has seen ten times the number of incidents like it in

:27:45.:27:49.

just one year. With the school is broken up, the dangers are obvious.

:27:49.:27:54.

Many Patsy are now closed, the warnings, unlike some clips, now

:27:54.:28:00.

firmly in place. Lets get a look at the weather, Shia

:28:00.:28:10.
:28:10.:28:11.

some sunny spells in the forecast, but also heavy showers, not only

:28:11.:28:15.

heavy showers, but thundering ones as well. Now, this chart shows us

:28:15.:28:19.

where we have already seen lightning strikes, and you can see one line of

:28:19.:28:22.

storms that has been working out of the West Country, the reddish

:28:22.:28:25.

colours showing us where the storms have been most recently. Other

:28:25.:28:30.

storms working out of Wales and into the Midlands, and we are going to

:28:30.:28:33.

see storms continuing in similar places through the afternoon, so a

:28:33.:28:36.

line of storms running out of the West Country up through parts of the

:28:37.:28:41.

South Midlands into East Anglia, and another line through it Wales into

:28:41.:28:45.

the Midlands and parts of northern England. That is not to say other

:28:45.:28:48.

areas will stay completely dry, but a better chance of seeing Sunnis

:28:48.:28:53.

bells. Where we get showers in the south, quite breezy, so they should

:28:53.:28:56.

move through pretty quickly. Whereas for Northern Ireland, and western

:28:56.:29:01.

Scotland, the breezes lighter, so were we get thunderstorms, they

:29:01.:29:05.

could hang around for a lot of time, giving you a lot of rain in a

:29:05.:29:09.

short period of time. Showers continue this evening for some

:29:09.:29:14.

northern parts, dying away further south, and we will see clear spells,

:29:14.:29:18.

13-16. Another lump of rain is starting to work its way in towards

:29:18.:29:23.

the south-west. This rain is tied in with his string of weather fronts.

:29:23.:29:27.

Notice the wave, the king on these fronts - where we see these wavering

:29:27.:29:31.

fronts, always a little bit tricky to forecast where the rain is going

:29:31.:29:34.

to end up, but it looks like southern coastal counties of England

:29:34.:29:39.

will be cloudy as it works eastwards tomorrow. Elsewhere, another day of

:29:39.:29:44.

sunny spells and heavy, thundery showers. Quite a cool, fresh feel to

:29:44.:29:49.

the day, top temperature of 18-20. Remember those waving weather

:29:49.:29:53.

fronts? They are moving northwards again on Wednesday, bringing heavy

:29:53.:29:56.

rain to western parts, patchy rain further east, and a decent amount of

:29:57.:30:01.

dry weather to the North and South. Southern parts beginning to feel

:30:01.:30:05.

quite humid at this stage. Through Wednesday into Thursday, this warm

:30:05.:30:08.

fronts continues to push its way northwards. It will bring the rain

:30:08.:30:12.

northwards, but as the name suggests, there is warm air behind

:30:13.:30:17.

it. That is going to waft from the near continent, and parts of the

:30:17.:30:21.

south-east on Thursday could see highs of around 30 degrees. It is

:30:21.:30:24.

that Italy southern parts of the England and where that will see that

:30:24.:30:28.

heat. Further north and west, single and pressure. The cool, fresh air

:30:28.:30:35.

and looks like heading west again. Maybe some thundery downpours, but

:30:35.:30:45.
