Hello, good afternoon. Welcome to BBC News. A mother who starved her | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
son to death and kept his decomposing body in a travel cot for | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
two years has been given a 15 year prison sentence. The body of | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
four-year-old Hamzah Khan was discovered in the bedroom of Amanda | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
Hudson in 2011. The alcoholic mother of eight was found guilty of | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
manslaughter by gross negligence yesterday. Our reporter is at | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
Bradford Crown Court. This terrible case concluded in the | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
last five minutes with a sentence being handed down by the judge. She | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
got 12 years for the manslaughter of her son, Hamzah Khan, and three | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
years for the neglect she showed towards her other children. They are | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
consecutive sentences so it equals 15 years. She showed no reaction as | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
the sentence was handed down. The judge criticised her for her devious | :02:45. | :02:54. | |
nature and her wicked conduct. Amanda Hudson arrives at court in a | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
prison van. Today she was sentenced for what the judge said was one of | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
prison van. Today she was sentenced the worst cases of neglect he had | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
seen. The 43-year-old mother abused her eight children and Hamzah Khan | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
was eventually starved to death. The prosecution said he was fed less | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
than the others. The court was reminded of the squalor that Amanda | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
Hudson lived in. The living room ankle-deep in rubbish and the smell | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
of rotting food that overwhelmed the police that came here to talk to the | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
mother of Hamzah Khan. The judge praised this leaves office. Her | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
first assignment for West Yorkshire police was to confront Amanda | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
Hudson. She never gave up and knew something was wrong. I did not think | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
she was capable of looking after herself, never mind anyone else in | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
the house. There was no going back from that moment she opened the | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
door. I had everything I needed to go to my Sergeant and say, we need | :03:56. | :04:04. | |
to go in. Amanda Hudson's oldest child was sentenced alongside his | :04:04. | :04:12. | |
mother. He said he wanted to ring for help when Hamzah Khan died but | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
his own mother threatened to ring police. The body was left in a cot | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
for 21 months by a mother who cared more for alcohol than her own son. | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
The sun was given a two-year suspended sentence. It appears that | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
the judge took into account the mitigating sentence answers -- | :04:37. | :04:46. | |
circumstances. The judge said she failed to fulfil any responsibility | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
and on keeping the death secret you were worried that people would find | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
out you had killed him. It was revealed that some of the siblings | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
of Hamzah Khan knew that the body was in the house and that it was | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
decomposing for nearly three years. Another aggravating factor in this | :05:06. | :05:16. | |
grim case. Up to 300 people are thought to have | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
died when a boat sank near the Italian island of Lampedusa. | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
Officials say it is unlikely that any more survivors will be found. A | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
day of mourning is being held in Italy. | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
The frantic search for survivors yesterday morning. These dramatic | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
new pictures from Italian coastguards show crewmembers | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
plucking migrants from the water. By now, hours after the boat capsized, | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
hundreds were already dead. Fishermen joined in with the rescue | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
operation. Survivors cling to wreckage. This tragedy happened just | :05:57. | :06:08. | |
a few hundred yards from dry land. This morning on Lampedusa, | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
operations resumed. The chances of finding more survivors are remote | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
and coastguards are bracing for a and painful task. TRANSLATION: Today | :06:15. | :06:25. | |
the operations we plan to do are focused on looking inside the ship | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
where bodies are trapped. We do not know the real number of bodies yet. | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
The boats that bring the migrants are rarely seaworthy. The survivors | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
have been telling their stories to officials and volunteers. | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
TRANSLATION: The migrants had no way to signal their arrival. They set | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
fire to a blanket at some gasoline on the boat caught fire. They were | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
scared and moved to one side of the boat and the boat capsized. They | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
fell in the water and many were trapped inside. The migrants came | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
from Eritrea and Somalia. They embarked from the Libyan coast. The | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
UN said that 30,000 migrants from Africa and the Middle East have | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
managed to sail to Italy this year. Across Italy flags are at half-mast. | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
The government has been criticised for failing to learn from lessons | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
from two years ago. Another boat carrying hundreds of refugees in the | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
Middle East arrived in Lampedusa yesterday. The hard-pressed Mayor | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
said there was no space on his yesterday. The hard-pressed Mayor | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
island for the living all the dead. Are your editor is on Lampedusa now. | :07:35. | :07:51. | |
It has been another frustrating day here for the authorities. The | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
weather has become turbulent and I went out today where the boat | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
capsized and the divers who had hopes to go down and bring out some | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
of the bodies were not able to do so. They believe that the boat has | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
landed upright, it is about a feet down. They believe that there may be | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
scores of bodies inside there. For the last few hours they have been | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
unable to do anything. We have been talking to some of those that were | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
involved in the rescue and they do have terrible stories. One fisherman | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
spoke about how he was trying to pull people into his boat but they | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
were covered in kerosene. Another captain from a boat said that a lot | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
of the people he found in the water had swallowed sea water and | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
gasoline. All of these stories lead into a sense of frustration both | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
here and in Europe that nobody really seems to have an answer about | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
this large-scale migration from Africa and the Middle East of people | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
desperate to come to Europe. People are talking about going after the | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
smugglers but that is not easy and Italy feels that this can only be | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
managed on a European level. The stand-off between Ed Miliband | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
and the mail newspaper group is escalating with the Labour leader | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
urging the owner of the mail newspaper to examine what he calls | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
their culture and practices. A senior figure at the Daily Mail said | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
some in the Labour Party needs to apologise to Labour. Ed Miliband has | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
now received two apologies, one after a journalist walked into a | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
private memorial service and another after a journalist walked into a | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
for a photograph of his father's grave. He made it clear he wants is | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
to go further. I have had my say. The ball is in the court of the mail | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
and the Mail on Sunday. They need to take a look at their culture and | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
practices and ask why these kind of things are happening. It says | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
something about the way they operate. What began as an argument | :10:06. | :10:17. | |
over a dispute over whether Ed Miliband's father hated Britain has | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
gone further. The mail believes it is an assault on the free press. I | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
think the Labour Party has turned their on us over the whole week. | :10:28. | :10:36. | |
Have addressed the problem and he has chosen to turn it into a | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
political argument. He is using his own family to do this. I think we | :10:40. | :10:48. | |
should be robust and resist that. The row between Labour and the Mail | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
comes just as high in the scenes talks Karam over plans to improve | :10:54. | :11:02. | |
whether the press is regulated. Next week is about the future of press | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
regulation in this country. It is not about one article. On the other | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
hand, the people around the table are only human and if they do not | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
think about this article then that would be amazing. I hope they do not | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
let it overshadow their thinking. It has been ten months since the | :11:20. | :11:27. | |
Leveson Inquiry and still as yet there is no new system of regulation | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
in place. When Ed Miliband talks about the wider culture and | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
practices of the Mail, it is a reminder that it is more than just a | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
battle about the reputation of his father. The Metropolitan police said | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
thousands of mobile phone records may hold the key to solving the | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
disappearance of Madeleine McCann who vanished in 2007. She went | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
missing in 2007. Portuguese police had access to the mobile phone | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
records but did not scrutinise them. She has been missing for more than | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
six years but Madeline McCann has not faded from the public | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
consciousness. The need to discover what happened to her appears as | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
strong as ever. The new enquiry into events at Praia da Luz is turning to | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
mobile phone usage at the time that the free role disappeared. Details | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
of all of the calls made then were recorded but were never analysed. | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
Detectives from Scotland Yard are trawling through a mass of data, | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
looking for links. The relationship between the phones, the network | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
between one phone call and another, and the way police will be able to | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
mark that out will be very useful. Some experts believe the time lag | :12:47. | :12:54. | |
between the disappearance means the task will not be straightforward. | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
The problem is that we are looking task will not be straightforward. | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
at data that was collected many years ago. We know what the phone | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
numbers were but we can't necessarily link them to real | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
people. It might be possible to do necessarily link them to real | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
that if you have monthly contracts but with pay as you go, it is | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
difficult. When a child goes missing, it is the first few hours | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
that are crucial. Officers at Scotland Yard are carrying out the | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
sort of enquiries they believed their Portuguese counterpart should | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
have completed six years ago. Their multi-million pound enquiry remains | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
focused on Portugal, that now spans a total of 31 countries around the | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
world. They have identified 41 potential suspects, 15 of whom are | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
in UK nationals. Later this month the parents of Madeline McCann will | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
appear on the BBC along with senior detectives and they will reveal | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
important new information about the case. It is not just her family who | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
hope it is information that can lead to an explanation about what | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
happened to this little girl. Should footballers be expected to play the | :14:10. | :14:19. | |
2022 World Cup in temperatures of 40 Celsius? That is the question that | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
fever have been debating in Europe. They are taking a step to moving the | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
fever have been debating in Europe. tournament towards winter by setting | :14:25. | :14:36. | |
up a consultation process. There is so much confusion and | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
controversy surrounding Qatar. The most powerful man in the game, said | :14:40. | :14:48. | |
blatter, wanted to provide some security here. When he addresses the | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
media here, he will say that broadcasters and all of the | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
stakeholders in football needs to be consulted before a decision to | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
reschedule that World Cup. The direction of travel is clear and it | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
is a matter of when and not if that It will be an interesting meeting. | :15:04. | :15:16. | |
FIFA is expected to pave the way for a winter World Cup, although a final | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
vote looks set to go into extra time. I don't think there will be a | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
decision today. We have not been presented with an analysis. We don't | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
know what the stakeholders are. Is it possible to have a re-vote and | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
take it away from Qatar? I don't think so. That would be totally | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
unresponsible. There is a growing consensus that scorching | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
temperatures make a switch away from the World Cup's traditional summer | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
timeslot inevitable and FIFA will spend months examining the | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
ramifications of such a move. Among them, a potential clash with the | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
2022 Winter Olympics and disruption to domestic leagues across Europe. | :15:52. | :15:59. | |
They need to alter things the year before and maybe the year after, | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
certainly. I think there will be no choice, but it will have to move. | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
The Premier League and the people about it are already starting work | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
on that and thinking about it. It does look as if it will be changed. | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
The image that Qatar wanted to present to the world. Instead, this, | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
the plight of migrant construction workers in the country exposed. | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
World Cup organisers forced to address allegations of slave labour. | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
It's the government's assurance, it is the people's assurance, it is our | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
assurance, that if these matters arise, we will be eradicating them | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
and working hard to ensure these matters are eradicated. Qatar! The | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
jaw-dropping moment that sent shockwaves through the game, three | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
years have passed now since the decision here to award the World Cup | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
to Qatar. FIFA may have bought themselves more time, but anger and | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
a mess of their own making shows no sign of abating. | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
Qatar 2022 has moved from one controversy to the next. Whether it | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
is too hot to play there. How the workers, who are constructing the | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
infrastructure, are being treated. Still, the decision to award the | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
country the sporting event is under huge scrutiny. Thank you. | :17:16. | :17:24. | |

The Woodland Trust has begun its largest-ever felling of diseased | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
trees after the spread of a fungus-like organism that infects | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
larch trees. 500 acres are being cleared at Wales' largest ancient | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
woodland, Wentwood Forest. The disease is expected to spread | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
meaning further felling. disease is expected to spread | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
An ancient jewel of the British countryside. The history of Wentwood | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
Forest spreads back over a Millennium. Venerable oaks stand | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
amongst much younger conifer trees, but it's a delicate ecosystem which | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
has been hit by the ceaseless spread of disease. There's needles | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
missing... These larch trees show all the symptoms of carrying | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
Phytophthora ramorum, a fungus-like organism that can mutate to infect | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
different species. It was first found in Britain just over a decade | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
ago. And has already claimed thousands of trees in the South | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
West. It spreads on the wind, in thousands of trees in the South | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
moist conditions, so our wet summer last year was a particularly good | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
year for infection. The prevailing wind is from the south-west, so when | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
there is an infection in the south-west corner of a wood, you can | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
see it radiating through the wood. And so down come the larch trees. | :19:36. | :19:44. | |
Felling the full 200 acres here will take another three weeks. But across | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
Wales, more than 5,500 acres of woodland have become infected. | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
Phytophthora ramorum, which affects the larch trees, is one of 15 | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
different diseases which has been found in British woodlands, but the | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
biggest problem has become ash dieback. | :20:04. | :20:13. | |
Strips of its bark, the wood is good for use in housing and fencing. A | :20:13. | :20:22. | |
silver lining, you would think for timber merchants, but they are | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
worried. It is affecting everything. It was going to affect us. In a few | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
years' time, when we fell all the trees, where will the timber come | :20:31. | :20:40. | |
from then? The impact of alien organisms on forests like this means | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
it will need to be replanted with a range of more resistant trees, if it | :20:44. | :20:54. | |
to thrive in the future. New car sales hit the highest level | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
for five-and-a-half years in September and have now risen for 19 | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
months in a row. The industry had been badly hit during the downturn. | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
Emma Simpson is here to explain. Some positive news. What is behind | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
the figures? These are very strong numbers out today. September, of | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
course, is always a big important month for the industry because we | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
can get our hands on a shiny new car plate. This year, we saw more than | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
400,000 new car registrations. There they are. That's an increase of just | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
over 12% compared with last year. It they are. That's an increase of just | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
is the first time that we have seen the numbers go through the 400,000 | :21:31. | :21:38. | |
mark for five years. It is a sign of just the growing confidence in the | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
economy. There are a number of factors. One interesting point is | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
that the number of private car sales are up 17%, so perhaps people who | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
have been holding off from making that big ticket purchase feel that | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
it is time to go and make a purchase. Cheap finance deals, | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
another big factor. One big dealership, right across the UK, | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
said that 80% of its new car sales are done through credit. Finally, | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
there's evidence that people have been using PPI money to buy a new | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
car. That is the compensation through insurance mis-selling. Of | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
course, hundreds of millions of pounds are being paid out by the | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
banks and that has been happening for quite a long time. So perhaps it | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
is just a sign that people are maybe feeling more confident to spend it. | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
Thank you. The publicist Max Clifford has | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
pleaded not guilty to 11 counts of indecent assault on teenage girls | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
aged between 14 and 19. The offences are alleged to have taken place | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
between 1966 and 1984. Matt Prodger reports from Southwark Crown Court. | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
This report does contain flash photography. | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
A man accustomed to shaping the news, today making the news. Max | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
Clifford arriving at Southwark Crown Court to face multiple charges of | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
indecent assault. Charges he has denied since his arrest in December. | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
First of all, again, I'm totally innocent of these charges by these | :23:10. | :23:17. | |
seven anonymous ladies. I want to thank everyone, the public, | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
everywhere I go, not just in this country, but everywhere for the | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
support I'm getting. He faces 11 charges of indecent assault. The | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
seven alleged victims were women and girls aged between 14 and 19 at the | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
time. And the offences were allegedly committed between 1966 and | :23:36. | :23:43. | |
1984. The hearing lasted an hour as Max Clifford stood in the dock. The | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
charges were then put to him one by one. 11 times he replied not guilty. | :23:48. | :23:55. | |
As he left, Mr Clifford, who is 70, spoke once more on the steps of the | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
court. It's a nightmare for myself, and everyone close to me. And I'm | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
totally innocent. Max Clifford's trial will begin on March 4th. | :24:07. | :24:17. | |
The former Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons, Nigel Evans, has | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
appeared at Preston Crown Court charged with a series of sexual | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
offences against men. The MP for Ribble Valley and Lancashire is | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
charged with eight offences including sexual assault, indecent | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
assault and rape. He was given bail and will appear in court again in | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
January next year. As Kenya struggles to come to terms | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
with the horrors of the Westgate shopping centre attack, some | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
dramatic stories of survival are beginning to emerge. One image from | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
the assault in Nairobi was that of a mother protecting her family for | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
hours until their rescue. Gabriel Gatehouse has heard their harrowing | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
story. # They shall live at his command... | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
# They sang to keep their spirits up as they hid from the attackers in | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
the Westgate Shopping Mall. I remember once they came very near | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
because there was a lady who was lying about two metres away from us. | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
I could hear them walking and I knew this was not just any regular | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
person. They had a conversation and, at that point, they called out. I | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
didn't know whether they were talking to me, but I knew I wasn't | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
going to raise my head. I could hear this lady answering and less than | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
five seconds later, two shots and she was quiet. After a while, I felt | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
someone touching my hand. This person again was calling, "Are you | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
OK?" This was a point where I played dead. Then he came in front to me | :25:44. | :25:54. | |
and he touched me saying, "Baby, baby" and I raised my head up. I | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
asked him a few questions. I asked baby" and I raised my head up. I | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
him if he's one of the bad guys. He said, "No, baby, I'm one of the | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
police. I'm not with the bad guys. I'm here to rescue you." All three | :26:11. | :26:19. | |
escaped physically unhurt. Faith and her two children are back in their | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
home in a quiet suburb of Nairobi. her two children are back in their | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
But the psychological scars are there. We are scared. Admittedly, we | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
are looking over our shoulders. We are more cautious than before. We | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
try to regain normality in our lives. For the Wambuas, a | :26:33. | :26:41. | |
middle-class Kenyan idyll has been shattered. | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
More than 100 members of the armed forces have been recommended for the | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
latest round of military honours for those who have demonstrated some | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
extraordinary acts of bravery. They include Corporal Josh Griffiths, who | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
helped save his comrades during an attack on their base in Afghanistan | :26:57. | :27:04. | |
despite having a broken back. Corporal Josh Griffiths of The | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
Mercian Regiment. Honoured for acts of outstanding braving. When a bomb | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
destroyed large parts of an Army base in Afghanistan in March, | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
Corporal Josh Griffiths fought back insurgents and protected his injured | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
colleagues despite breaking his black in the initial explosion. I | :27:24. | :27:31. | |
crawled, the lads were screaming. I went over to help them out. I | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
dragged one of the casualties out. That is when I heard the rounds | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
snapping past my head. Most of those receiving honours served in | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
Afghanistan last winter. Their role was to help in the transition to | :27:42. | :27:48. | |
Afghan-led security force. The deployment was described as complex | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
and dangerous and one in which nine British service personnel died. Two | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
were killed last October. They had been patrolling an Afghan police | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
station when they came under-fire. The death toll could have been much | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
higher were it not for the actions of Marine Buchanan, who put himself | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
between the gunman and the rest of the patrol. It is quite difficult, | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
especially when rounds are coming down, you don't know where your | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
colleagues are, you don't know where the attackers are. It is like an | :28:12. | :28:14. | |
ambush. So the first thing you have the attackers are. It is like an | :28:14. | :28:20. | |
to do is just assess the situation and then once you know what is going | :28:20. | :28:26. | |
on, try and cease the attackers' antics and apply first aid to your | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
fallen comrades. Lance Corporal Rachel Hughes has also been | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
honoured, not only for saving the lives of injured colleagues, but | :28:34. | :28:38. | |
several Afghan children. I was just doing my job. To receive something | :28:38. | :28:43. | |
like this is such an honour, and not just for my work, the guys I worked | :28:43. | :28:45. | |
like this is such an honour, and not with as well. They all deserve this | :28:45. | :28:50. | |
so I accept this on their behalf as well. A modest response, typical of | :28:50. | :28:54. | |
those who have performed extraordinary acts of bravery well | :28:54. | :29:01. | |
above and beyond the call of duty. Now, it is time for a look at the | :29:01. | :29:05. | |
weather with Darren Bett. Hello. Hello. | :29:05. | :29:08. | |
The weekend looks quite promising, I suspect. It is turning drier, we are | :29:08. | :29:16. | |
seeing the rain clearing away. It is brightening up and, hopefully, we | :29:16. | :29:20. | |
will see a little sunshine. Quite a few storms across the South East. | :29:20. | :29:23. | |
They didn't last too long, but it is this rain we had in the South West | :29:23. | :29:26. | |
that's been spinning its way northwards and it is that rain that | :29:26. | :29:29. | |
has come to rest across Northern England. It is here that we have | :29:29. | :29:31. | |
has come to rest across Northern most of the rain through the rest of | :29:31. | :29:35. | |
the day. Just clipping the south-east of Scotland, but it will | :29:35. | :29:38. | |
run away later this afternoon. So it will dry off in many parts of | :29:38. | :29:42. | |
Scotland. Eastern Scotland could get 18 Celsius. We still have some rain | :29:42. | :29:47. | |
across Northern England well into the afternoon. Head further south, | :29:47. | :29:50. | |
through the Midlands, East Anglia, the South East, it should be | :29:51. | :29:52. | |
through the Midlands, East Anglia, generally dry, no more than a | :29:52. | :29:55. | |
passing shower. Brighter and quite warm - 21 degrees. We could see | :29:55. | :30:00. | |
similar temperatures across eastern parts of Wales. It will brighten up | :30:00. | :30:05. | |
across the South West, too. Skies will brighten. Maybe a bit more | :30:05. | :30:08. | |
cloud continuing in West Wales, Pembrokeshire, maybe seeing some | :30:09. | :30:14. | |
outbreaks of rain for a time. Generally dry for Northern Ireland. | :30:14. | :30:19. | |
Overnight, we see the back of the rain fairly quickly from Northern | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
England. It will push out into the North Sea. Most of us will then be | :30:22. | :30:29. | |
dry. Just a few light showers over those western slopes. It will be | :30:29. | :30:34. | |
cooler and fresher than it has been recently. Pressure is building | :30:34. | :30:39. | |
across the UK. This area of high pressure is moving in, it will | :30:39. | :30:42. | |
settle things down here. This weather front may spoil things in | :30:42. | :30:46. | |
the north later in the weekend. Some short-lived mist and fog around | :30:46. | :30:49. | |
tomorrow morning. Then we will see the skies brightening. A little bit | :30:49. | :30:53. | |
of sunshine. There won't be many showers. Many places will be dry and | :30:54. | :30:59. | |
fine. Those temperatures still above average for the time of year. In the | :30:59. | :31:06. | |
North West, we will see the wind picking up during Saturday evening | :31:06. | :31:08. | |
and with this weather front, we will see a bit of rain overnight for | :31:09. | :31:12. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland in the west. That may come to rest in the | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
far North West of England and Wales on Sunday. Brighter skies following | :31:16. | :31:19. | |
to the north. Some sunshine developing in the South as well. | :31:19. | :31:23. | |
Those temperatures staying steady at 18 or 19 degrees. When you get the | :31:23. | :31:27. | |
sunshine, over the weekend, it will feel quite pleasant. Many places | :31:27. | :31:30. | |
will have a dry weekend, a bit of rain coming in to northern areas on | :31:31. | :31:33. | |
Saturday night into Sunday. Lovely. rain coming in to northern areas on | :31:33. | :31:42. | |
Thank you. A reminder of the top story: Amanda Hutton, the mother who | :31:42. | :31:47. | |
starved her four-year-old son to death and left his body in a cot for | :31:47. | :31:51. | |
nearly two years, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. That is all | :31:51. | :31:56. | |
from us. Now it is time to join the news teams where you | :31:56. | :31:56. |
