:01:41. > :01:46.of chartered surveyors says prices have jumped in areas outside London
:01:46. > :01:53.that have been badly hit by the recession, and there has been a rise
:01:53. > :01:57.in the number of first-time buyers. But it is also suggested prices in
:01:57. > :02:01.Scotland and Northern Ireland have fallen slightly.
:02:01. > :02:06.It is a headline estate agents have been dreaming of, buyers are
:02:06. > :02:10.returning to the market in their biggest number for four years. In
:02:10. > :02:18.all part of the country, not just London and the south-east, there is
:02:18. > :02:23.a rise in activity and the fastest growth is in areas that were worst
:02:23. > :02:29.hit by the downturn. What was encouraging is the West Midlands and
:02:29. > :02:33.the North East are perhaps two of the regions that saw the biggest
:02:33. > :02:39.fall during the crisis. It is encouraging to see those areas,
:02:39. > :02:43.including the North West and others, East Anglia, getting going. More
:02:43. > :02:49.buyers means rising prices. For the fourth month in a row, house prices
:02:49. > :02:52.have increased and they are growing at their fastest rate since 2006.
:02:52. > :02:58.What is behind it? Record low interest rates have helped. They
:02:58. > :03:03.have meant cheaper mortgages for most. But new government initiatives
:03:03. > :03:06.to help first-time buyers have pushed up demand. More than 10,000
:03:06. > :03:12.buyers of new-build properties have applied for financial assistance
:03:12. > :03:18.from the government's help to buy scheme, since it was launched in
:03:18. > :03:26.April. It will also apply to the sales of existing homes, and it has
:03:26. > :03:32.given a boost to the housing market as a whole. We are seeing 320 new
:03:32. > :03:37.thousands built -- new houses built in Alaska blog years. We want these
:03:37. > :03:41.houses built so more people can get into their first home. But critics
:03:41. > :03:48.say it has limited impact and fails to address a wider problem dash that
:03:48. > :03:52.there is not enough supply of new houses to meet the demand. People
:03:52. > :03:56.are locked out of home ownership because they cannot get a mortgage.
:03:56. > :04:02.That is why we need action now, action by the government to invest
:04:02. > :04:07.in the building of affordable homes. There are fears that cheap loans and
:04:07. > :04:10.soaring house prices could inflate a new housing bubble. And with
:04:10. > :04:15.first-time buyers are now paying more than four times their annual
:04:15. > :04:21.earnings just to get on the housing ladder, to date's housing boost
:04:21. > :04:26.could be short lived. With me is our chief economics
:04:26. > :04:29.correspondent. On the face of it, there is good news for the housing
:04:29. > :04:36.market? It depends on where you are in the housing market. Yes, if you
:04:36. > :04:42.are trying to sell a property and move, it is good mood -- news. If
:04:42. > :04:45.you are an estate agent, good news. If you are a house-builder, also. If
:04:46. > :04:51.you are trying to get on the ladder as a first-time buyer, it is going
:04:51. > :04:56.to be frustrating. There is still a lot of people who feel house prices
:04:56. > :05:02.are too high. Then there is the issue of the government policy, the
:05:02. > :05:06.helped to buy initiative, trying to boost house-building. Yes, they have
:05:06. > :05:10.had 10,000 registrations under the scheme. But critics say it will
:05:10. > :05:18.stoke up another boom, which is what we don't want. House-builder saying
:05:18. > :05:23.it is a shot in the arm the economy. The official house price figures
:05:23. > :05:27.show the UK house prices rose by 3.1% in the year to June. But
:05:27. > :05:33.England and Wales were up, Scotland and Northern Ireland down slightly.
:05:33. > :05:38.The biggest rise was in London. This is the issue, this boom is beginning
:05:38. > :05:43.to happen in the South East. Rail fares are to rise by an average
:05:43. > :05:48.of 4.1% for commuters in England, despite a fall in inflation. The
:05:48. > :05:55.increase will come into effect in January next year on all regulated
:05:55. > :05:58.fares, including season tickets. Trade unions have organised protests
:05:58. > :06:03.at stations around the company and called for the rail network to be
:06:03. > :06:08.returned to public ownership. Our reporter is at Euston station.
:06:08. > :06:13.rise is a little less than was predicted, and a little less than
:06:13. > :06:18.last year. But somehow I doubt it is much comfort to a lot of the people
:06:18. > :06:23.coming through this station. A lot of these people will be paying an
:06:23. > :06:29.extra �200 or so for their yearly ticket to come to work. This is the
:06:29. > :06:33.11th consecutive year it is going to happen. There is little wonder that
:06:33. > :06:38.in a passenger survey, only a third of commuters thought they were
:06:38. > :06:47.getting value for their ticket. It is the same routine every
:06:47. > :06:51.morning. Like thousands of other, Jennifer, takes the train to work.
:06:51. > :06:55.She pays �5,600 for a season ticket between Wellingborough and London.
:06:55. > :07:01.That means she is working for three months of the year just to pay her
:07:01. > :07:06.travel costs. If this happens every year, in the next couple of years, I
:07:07. > :07:12.will have to decide if I can continue doing this in a job I
:07:12. > :07:16.enjoy, or I change my life. This will be the 11th, above inflation
:07:16. > :07:22.rise in a row and it covers all the fair is controlled by the
:07:22. > :07:26.government. These regulated fares account for all half train tickets,
:07:26. > :07:31.and include most seasoned and off-peak intercity fares. They will
:07:31. > :07:35.go up by an average of 4.1% next January, but passengers could be
:07:35. > :07:40.paying more than twice that amount, rail companies are allowed to
:07:40. > :07:50.increase some fares by a lot more, as long as they cut similar tickers
:07:50. > :07:50.
:07:50. > :07:58.elsewhere. Commuters are not an easy target. We increased -- plan to
:07:58. > :08:01.increase tickets by the RPI, but we change that. There is a cost of
:08:01. > :08:07.living crisis going on. The government is out of touch if they
:08:07. > :08:13.think people can carry on affording to pay an extra 9.1% when their
:08:13. > :08:17.wages stagnant or only increasing by much less than inflation on average.
:08:17. > :08:23.These rises are set by ministers, but the train companies are often
:08:23. > :08:27.accused of cashing in. How do they answer those accusations?
:08:27. > :08:33.average season ticket on Chiltern Railways is �3000. I can understand
:08:33. > :08:40.why it seems a lot of money to spend as one transaction. But each season
:08:40. > :08:45.ticket holder makes 16,000 miles worth of travel. They'd be made that
:08:45. > :08:49.travel by car, you could not do it for �3000. Passengers in Scotland
:08:49. > :08:55.would be better off with season tickets capped at the rate of
:08:55. > :08:59.inflation. There is no rise planned in Northern Ireland. This is not the
:08:59. > :09:06.last of it. Ministers want to cut the amount of tax used to run the
:09:06. > :09:11.Railways, said passengers will keep on paying more.
:09:11. > :09:16.The big question, people have asked, when will it end? We do not know. We
:09:17. > :09:21.do know there will be this rise in 2014. We know there will be another
:09:21. > :09:26.above inflation rise in 2015, then there is a general election. Beyond
:09:26. > :09:29.that, we have no idea. Police in per room have released

:10:24. > :10:30.nationality? Irish. But the next Ansa by Melissa Reid makes it clear
:10:30. > :10:40.she is aware of how serious the situation is. I was forced to take
:10:40. > :10:42.
:10:42. > :10:45.these bags in my luggage. You know it contained drugs? I did not know
:10:46. > :10:54.that. These are the bags the police claimed were found in their luggage.
:10:54. > :11:01.Disguised, it is claimed they contain a street value of �1.5

:12:41. > :12:46.know what is behind the rise? don't, these are prescriptions given
:12:46. > :12:52.in a GP setting. Year on year over the last six years there has been a
:12:52. > :12:57.steady and significant increase. It raises questions about the level of
:12:57. > :13:01.modification given to children with ADHD. It is thought up to 9% of
:13:02. > :13:08.children have it in some degree, but medication is only meant to be used
:13:08. > :13:12.for the one to 2% who have severe symptoms. So that means whatever
:13:12. > :13:16.they are doing, they are hyperactive, constantly on the go,
:13:16. > :13:21.cannot concentrate and find it difficult to focus on anything. Also
:13:21. > :13:28.they are very impulsive. It is only when symptoms are so severe children
:13:28. > :13:32.are meant to have the medication. So this does warrant looking at to see

:14:33. > :14:38.searched a section of woodland at an exclusive golf course in Woburn.
:14:39. > :14:44.Rachel's body was found in this area. She had been strangled and her
:14:44. > :14:52.face disfigured by 17 separate injuries. The weapon used bash a
:14:52. > :14:54.steering wheel lock was found nearby. In 2002, Barry White was

:20:44. > :20:48.you can see where two of the panels have been ripped out from the
:20:48. > :20:54.screen, a third has been damaged. Let's just show you what they used
:20:54. > :20:59.to look like when they were in situ. There were 40 panels likeness of a
:20:59. > :21:02.number of saints, painted on beautifully decorated canvas. It
:21:02. > :21:10.goes the whole width of the church but to tell us more about this,
:21:10. > :21:16.Doctor Neal Rushmore. Just how important is the screen? It's a
:21:16. > :21:21.international importance. The 15th century artistry is of an extremely
:21:21. > :21:28.high standard and it is unique and priceless and irreplaceable. But no
:21:28. > :21:32.security here, no CCTV, nothing? How can that be when it's so important?
:21:32. > :21:38.Our churches are open to the public, visitors, we want people to

:21:47. > :21:51.for sure, but there's only so much we can do as a small organisation.
:21:51. > :21:55.Thank you very much indeed. There will be a security audit. The police
:21:55. > :21:59.had taking away the remaining bits and pieces which were left on the

:23:02. > :23:06.that will live long in the memory. No fifth day play at Durham. A test
:23:06. > :23:11.match being dismantled. No target to chase all wickets to take about an
:23:11. > :23:14.afterglow. Monday evening 's cricket still amazes. Did England really
:23:14. > :23:20.take all the wickets to win the match and the Ashes? They didn't
:23:20. > :23:23.also won a series in India over the winter. You might consider it an
:23:23. > :23:29.outstanding error. England would urge restraint. We don't sit in the
:23:29. > :23:35.dressing room and talk about the side as being a great side. That's
:23:35. > :23:39.for other people to judge. We talk about how to win against certain
:23:39. > :23:44.opposition. It works. Australia left last night with the emptiest of
:23:44. > :23:49.feelings. Ryan Harris was exceptional but the batsmen
:23:49. > :23:54.collapsed. Their coach can speculate about changes but the captain
:23:54. > :23:58.accepts there is no one else to blame. Can I drop some other is no
:23:58. > :24:07.one else to take their spot? You got to keep the face and encourage them
:24:07. > :24:10.and get the best out of them. -- keep the faith. It would be nice if
:24:10. > :24:14.the captain scored more runs as well. Fundamentally, England didn't
:24:15. > :24:21.believe they could beat Australia. As Durham once again demonstrated,
:24:21. > :24:25.the boot is now on the other foot. It's totally on the other foot. In
:24:25. > :24:29.the 1990s, England barely won a test match let the series and this is
:24:29. > :24:32.remarkable. England had to go away, assess their game, rebuild it, and
:24:32. > :24:37.that is where Australia are now because I can't see this changing
:24:37. > :24:44.for a while. England have made it clear they want to win the final
:24:44. > :24:48.test at the Oval to take the series 4-0 as Alistair Cooke put it,
:24:48. > :24:53.England are breeding and that's the last thing Australia want to hear.
:24:53. > :24:57.The next test is next week and 4-0 in the Ashes would be history for
:24:57. > :25:00.England. Joe, thank you very much. There were up to 100 shooting stars
:25:00. > :25:03.an hour last night as the Perseid meteor shower reached its peak. It
:25:03. > :25:11.happens every year but last night's was particularly impressive as our
:25:11. > :25:16.science correspondent Pallab Ghosh reports.
:25:16. > :25:21.Around this time each year, the sky is lit up by shooting stars. And
:25:21. > :25:27.with clear skies and a new moon, and the shower at its peak, last night
:25:27. > :25:34.was the perfect night to watch it. I joined some amateur astronomers to
:25:34. > :25:39.see for myself. We have seen the first few meteors, an amazing site
:25:39. > :25:43.blazing across the sky. At its peak, there will be one every minute
:25:43. > :25:50.providing natures own firework display. It's been great, we've seen
:25:50. > :25:58.about 20. In the last couple of hours. I've never seen so many.
:25:58. > :26:04.it what you expected? It's better, some of them are really big. It's
:26:04. > :26:11.caused by debris from a giant comet which orbits the sun like the Earth.
:26:11. > :26:17.Its orbit is at an angle which means that every year, between July and
:26:17. > :26:21.August, the Earth drifts into its trail. And it showered with meteors.
:26:21. > :26:27.As far as meteor showers go, there have a relatively high number so
:26:28. > :26:31.likely to see them. They have a lot of fairly bright pieces in them. And
:26:31. > :26:35.also they are in the Somerset people like to be out and seeing them,
:26:35. > :26:38.rather than in the winter and the skies tend to be clearer, as well.
:26:38. > :26:45.These are pictures sent in to the BBC from people enjoying the view
:26:45. > :26:50.across the country. A very long explosion capturing several meteors
:26:50. > :26:56.and a self-portrait from James Birchall near Rugby. They could be
:26:56. > :27:02.seen over brightly lit towns. And this one, from Paul Williams, shows
:27:02. > :27:06.one streaking across the skies over Manningtree. There are records of
:27:06. > :27:15.the spectacle dating back thousands of years. And it will be on show
:27:15. > :27:25.again tonight. Let's see if you will be able to see any more tonight.
:27:25. > :27:28.
:27:28. > :27:32.few at the skies are clear. As far as tonight is concerned, it's across
:27:32. > :27:36.more eastern areas of the UK where skies will be clear.
:27:36. > :27:39.Northumberland, Lincolnshire, the Midlands, East Anglia, the skies
:27:39. > :27:43.will be clearer, and you have a chance of catching them shooting
:27:43. > :27:47.stars streaking across the skies. This afternoon, quite bright out
:27:47. > :27:51.there but we do have some spots of rain around so by no means is it a
:27:51. > :27:57.dry day. It's not that bad. The sickest cloud of across western
:27:58. > :28:05.areas. Eastern areas so far have had the best of the areas -- thickest.
:28:05. > :28:10.Milky, hazy sunshine. This is the UK right now. We start to the north of
:28:10. > :28:14.the UK, some across Scotland, sunny spells coming and going. Remember I
:28:14. > :28:19.talked about spots of rain appearing anywhere across the north-east of
:28:19. > :28:26.the UK. Then we go down towards Yorkshire and the Midlands. It's a
:28:26. > :28:30.broken sort of area of cloud, so temperatures around about 17-18 in
:28:30. > :28:36.the shade. Temperatures could get up to 22, but one or two spots of rain
:28:36. > :28:41.here and there. Not a bad day. Now, through the course of this evening,
:28:41. > :28:45.what is going to happen, we will start to see very murky, cloudy,
:28:45. > :28:50.drizzly weather coming in from the south-west, the start of quite warm
:28:50. > :28:55.and wet period across the UK. Towards the south-west of the
:28:55. > :29:02.country, this is what we will focus on. Drizzly weather affecting Wales,
:29:02. > :29:07.Northern Ireland, the Irish Sea, and tomorrow, definite splits across the
:29:07. > :29:13.UK. Edinburgh, Newcastle, Norwich, warm and sunny. In Belfast, Cardiff
:29:13. > :29:19.and Plymouth, cloudy and drizzly. As far as the football international
:29:19. > :29:22.goes, the one in Wembley, Windsor Park and Cardiff, more or less the
:29:22. > :29:28.same. Cloudy skies with temperatures in the high teens. I talked about
:29:28. > :29:33.the wet and warm period. Thursday, a lot of rain across the UK but look
:29:33. > :29:37.at the winter from the south-west. It's a warm direction. Yes, there
:29:37. > :29:43.will be a lot of cloud and some rain, particularly across the hills,
:29:43. > :29:48.western parts of the UK, but despite that, the temperatures could
