In the economy grows at its fastest rate for three years. The Lord by | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
date percent rise is welcomed by the Chancellor as a sign that Britain is | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
on the mend. Also this lunchtime. Reprieved. The union climb-down. | :00:19. | :00:28. | |
There was a significant change in attitude from the unions and they've | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
agreed wholly that principle of change that's required. Fresh advice | :00:32. | :00:43. | |

Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News At One. The UK economy grew | :01:29. | :01:38. | |
by 0.8% during July August and September. The fastest pace for | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
three years. Figures from the Office for National Statistics show all | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
sectors of the economy grew, including a 2.5% rise in the | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
construction industry. The Chancellor, George Osborne, said | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
that Britain was on the path to prosperity, though Labour said the | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
rising cost of living meant that for millions of people it didn't feel | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
like a recovery. Here's our chief economics correspondent Hugh Pym. | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
The economic outlook is brightening both here on Tyneside and around the | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
UK. After being hard hit by the recession, a recovery is underway | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
here with many firms recruiting. After solid expansion in the first | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
half of this year, businesses report will pick up in the three months to | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
September. Now in the third quarter we have seen that confidence become | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
a confidence to invest, implants and machinery, new premises but | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
particularly in new skills, taking on new staff and training them, and | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
that confidence to invest we really welcome. The Chancellor visiting a | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
textiles business, was quick to hail the news of growth across all main | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
areas of the private sector, services, construction and | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
manufacturing. Britain's hard work is paying off. We can see that in | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
these economic numbers today. It shows we're on the path to | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
prosperity. Lots of risks remain so we have to stick with a plan that | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
has got us this far. The economy has been growing steadily since the turn | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
of the year in what looks like a sustained recovery. But even after | :03:05. | :03:18. | |
today's, overall economic activity has still not return to levels seen | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
before the recession. Economic output known as GDP is still 2.5% | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
below where it was in 2008. Within that, construction remains 12.5% | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
short of prerecession levels. Manufacturing, 9% lower, and the | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
important services sector is now 0.4% higher than it prerecession | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
peak. With average wage is still lacking behind cost-of-living | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
increases, Labour argue that for most consumers, there was no real | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
recovery. For families, pensioners, their living standards are going | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
down, not up, and we need a recovery which is not only strong and lasts, | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
but delivers the working people. We asked people how they felt about | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
their jobs and spending power? Very little disposable income. It's quite | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
hard, to be honest. For me personally, I can see huge | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
difference between not having a pay rise and the cost of living going | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
up. You can see the comparison, but I'm very fortunate to be in a job. | :04:15. | :04:22. | |
Various growth in the UK but more water needs to flow under the bridge | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
before we can be sure there was a balanced recovery north and south | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
and across the whole economy. Let's speak to out correspondent Peter | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
Plisner who's in Dudley. It may not be boom time there, Peter, but is | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
there a sense the economy has turned a corner? Yes, growth here is | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
extremely good. A lot of it around manufacturing and a lot of it is | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
happening as a direct result of growth in sales of the car-maker | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
Jaguar Land Rover. This lunchtime, we are in Dudley, and here they are | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
building industrial units speculatively, which means there's | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
no tenants lined up for these units but I'm told interest is high. Today | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
I've spoken to a variety of companies on the estate, an IT firm, | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
Jose a lot of firms are now buying new computers and infrastructure. | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
Another firm, a door manufacturer, who went bust two years ago, and are | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
now under new management and say they are doing extremely well in the | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
current economy. Landlords here say that they are seeing fewer empty | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
unit and along with the phones here are expanding into empty units. | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
Currently, 3000 jobs on the estate and it's expected to grow as the | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
economy grows. Peter, thank you very much. Let's speak to our political | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
correspondent, Carole Walker. I guess the Chancellor must be feeling | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
pretty vindicated having stuck to his plan? That's right. Ministers | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
are always keen to sound complacent but George Osborne said this morning | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
there is now an economic recovery. He was able to talk about momentum | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
and that's important because if people feel more positive about the | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
outlook for the economy, they are more likely to invest, and that | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
provides more jobs and growth. It was interesting to see a survey to | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
date with suggested, although people are more optimistic about the | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
economy as a whole, they are not necessarily optimistic about their | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
own economic circumstances. That underlines Labour 's big argument | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
that wages are not keeping pace with rising prices, people are not seeing | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
improvements in their own personal circumstances. So the big challenge | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
now for the government is to convince people it only by sticking | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
with their tough economic recipe that they will begin to see | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
improvements in their own family finances. OK, thank you. A deal has | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
been done to save the Grangemouth petrochemical plant from closure. | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
Fresh talks came after the Unite union accepted a rescue plan that | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
they had previously rejected, which includes a pay freeze and changes to | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
pensions. The announcement has been welcomed by politicians in London | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
and Edinburgh. The owner of the plant, who earlier this week | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
announced the closure of Grangemouth, tells the BBC the deal | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
should secure its future for many years. Let's cross to our Scotland | :07:14. | :07:24. | |
Correspondent, James Cook. Yes, just a few hours ago, this was in danger | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
of having a very different outcome. It's been an extraordinary week here | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
and Grangemouth looked at one stage as if it would go down in history as | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
an industrial catastrophe. A byword for a collapse in the economy in | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
this part of Scotland. And further afield. That has all changed, | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
though, this morning. Last time, the Long walk to meet management ended | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
in disaster. Half the site was too close, the other half was at risk. | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
In desperation, the workers ask for a second chance, and will accept the | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
changes to pay and pensions they had fought so hard to stop. And today, | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
it was good news. The plant had been saved. What did they tell you in | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
there? The plant is safe, yes. We've still got the job. It's a relief, | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
yeah. I've only been here three months and left a perfectly secure | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
job to come here and to be told you were getting sacked, two days ago, | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
really disappointing but you just got to be happy now we are still | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
getting jobs. Sharing the plant was going to shut was very worrying for | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
everyone and now everybody is happy to go back to work. I think from | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
where most people have been during the week, its belief and people feel | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
very, very pleased for my family, and my colleagues. But there's a lot | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
of people very, very worried, staring into the abyss. Absolutely | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
fantastic. Is the big three bittersweet? It is a chance for a | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
new beginning because if the management can develop trust with | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
us, the plant has a good future. Eight days ago, Ineos close to the | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
plant and said it would remain shut until a deal was struck. On Tuesday, | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
workers refused to accept the cuts to pay and pensions and within 24 | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
and was, Ineos said it was closing the plant with a loss of 800 jobs, | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
and yesterday, Unite caved in saying it will accept the original offer | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
warts and all. So what of the man who held the fate of these workers | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
in his hands? The founder of Ineos spoke exclusively to the BBC. We | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
could not have plotted the root of how we have arrived at where we have | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
arrived today but at the end of day, it's great news for everyone. My | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
only regret is a serious regret that we, the unions, have caused a lot of | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
distrust of people. The deal to save Grangemouth makes it less reliant on | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
the North Sea. Ineos will now invest ?300 million in a new terminal to | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
import gas from America. It has the backing of the UK and Scottish | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
Governments. As Wednesday was a day of desolation, this is a day of | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
encouragement. The important thing about people pulling together to | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
secure this investment, it's not the next year or next week, but for the | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
future of Grangemouth as a facility. I believe for the next 25 years. | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
That's what's important about today's announcement. So victory for | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
the workers but at a cost. This has been a roller-coaster week with a | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
bittersweet ending. And in the past few minutes we have heard from the | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
Unite union who said relief would ring round this community and would | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
ring around the whole of Scotland but also accepted workers would have | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
to make sacrifices. There are many questions remaining. There's a place | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
supplies 70% of Oscars bash Scotland's fuel. How could such an | :10:57. | :11:05. | |
important strategic asset end up in this situation? That'll be debated | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
in the coming days but, for now, there is just a huge amount of | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
relief. James, thank you very much there at Grangemouth. New advice has | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
been given to elderly and vulnerable people on how to stay warm this | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
winter. Public health officials have suggested that people struggling | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
with the cost of heating their homes should heat only their living room | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
in the daytime and the bedroom last thing at night. They say this will | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
help avoid the 24,000 excess deaths which happen each winter. Ben | :11:30. | :11:40. | |
Geoghegan reports. The cold weather isn't far-away and every year it | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
brings with it a spike in illness. In England, there is around 24,000 | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
preventable deaths each winter. So, public health officials are warning | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
people to think ahead. We want to inform them of the risks that can | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
happen with cold weather. We want people to plan and prepare it and be | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
safe. And we know that cold weather hurts people and causes harm and we | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
want to try to avoid as much of this as we can. Planning ahead means | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
checking your heating system and setting it at between 18-21dC. Homes | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
should be properly insulated. Young children and the elderly should get | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
their flu jab. But affording to stay warm will be hard for some people | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
this year. Four of the big six energy companies have announced | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
price rises. Some charities say, as a result, the number of elderly | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
people looking for financial support is going up. Our applications this | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
year since April are up by 10%. People who need the most basic | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
things, who need help with their utility bills are desperately | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
worried at the increasing numbers of older people and it's a real concern | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
to us. Today campaigners, including Age UK and Barnardos, have written | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
to the Prime Minister calling for politicians to do more to help. The | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
charities say, in Europe, Britain is second only to Estonia for the | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
number of people who are struggling to pay their energy bills. The | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
government has been helping to provide better insulation in some | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
homes. Ministers say cold weather payments, discounts and a bigger | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
state pension will also help people to stay warm this winter. The | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
security giant, Serco, which is at the centre of a government contract | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
scandal, has announced that its chief executive, Chris Hyman, is | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
stepping down. The company is being investigated by the Serious Fraud | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
Office after claims that the government was overcharged millions | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
of pounds for electronically tagging criminals who were either dead, in | :13:39. | :13:46. | |
prison, or were never tagged at all. A memo leaked by the whistle-blower | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
Edward Snowden, and published in today's Guardian, suggests that | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
America regularly monitored the phone calls of at least 35 world | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
leaders. It follows a complaint made by the German Chancellor Angela | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
Merkel to President Obama, about claims her conversations were being | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
listened to. France and Germany want America to take action to regain | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
trust. Our correspondent Matthew Price is at a summit of European | :14:10. | :14:19. | |
leaders in Brussels. Matthew. Yes, there has been some concern, of | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
course, because of these reports that British intelligence services | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
have been working alongside their American counterparts on monitoring | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
some European citizens and indeed, possibly some of your's leaders. | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
David Cameron, speaking a few moments ago in Brussels, didn't | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
directly address those allegations but he did say the intelligence | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
services in Britain helped to keep us safe and the work they do is | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
vital and they are properly scrutinised by Parliament in the UK. | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
David Cameron wanted the headlines today to be about cutting Brussels | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
not what bureaucracy, but the spying row has overshadowed everything | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
else. Angela Merkel joins David Cameron this morning with British | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
businessmen who want her support in joining Brussels to cut red tape in | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
regulation but her main focus is elsewhere. She says the mobile phone | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
that she uses for government business is encrypted still, she | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
believes she was spied on by America. | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
TRANSLATION: I think the most important thing right now is to work | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
out how Western allies can best cooperate in the future. Trust needs | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
to be rebuilt. That implies that trust has been severely shaken. The | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
French president outlined what the two countries propose to do about | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
it. TRANSLATION: France and Germany will | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
start discussing the matter with the Americans. To agree a common | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
framework by the end of the year. Essentially, they are talking about | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
not spying on one another. Though how you control a clandestine | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
activity is hard to see. Some here regard this as an opportunity to | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
push for new rules on data protection, online privacy, where | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
and how all our data is stored in the EU. The leaders are making | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
progress on that issue. But report that dozens of world leaders may | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
have been spied upon will be unnerving. | :16:18. | :16:30. | |
Angela Merkel has been talking about that issue. She has said they | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
are short and long-term measures which need to be looked at and they | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
will be looked at in the future. At the moment there was no appetite in | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
Europe for reworking the asylum policy. | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
The economy has grown at its fastest rate for three years. The | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
Chancellor says it shows that Britain is on the mend. | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
And still to come... One of the world's leading festivals comes to | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
Wales. This is hardly the most glamorous | :17:07. | :17:18. | |
bit of the music industry. If you want to find a truly global | :17:19. | :17:25. | |

It is a year to the day since the first cases of ash dieback disease | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
were officially confirmed in Britain's native woodland. Since | :17:51. | :17:52. | |
then tens of thousands of trees with the disease have been | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
identified across the UK. Experts are trying to find ways to protect | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
remaining woodland. Our correspondent is in Hucking Wood in | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
Kent. You join me in an absolutely | :18:03. | :18:13. | |
beautiful estate here in Kent which is managed by the Woodland Trust. | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
Experts have been telling me their ashtrays have also been hit by ash | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
dieback, as have 250 sites across the UK. -- ash trees. This could be | :18:26. | :18:35. | |
part of the solution to dealing with this disease, as an have been | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
finding out. They are integral to our view of the British countryside. | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
For at least a year, ash trees have been under attack. Experts like | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
Austin Brady claimed 90% of ash trees could be killed by ash | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
dieback. There is no cure. Can you describe the signs? This is a young | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
ash tree. It has grown from seed. If you look at the main part come | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
up the central stem has started to die back. -- domain part, the | :19:12. | :19:21. | |

Deciduous canopies are essential for entire ecosystems. Lose the | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
trees and we could lose a host of other much loved plants and in sex. | :19:35. | :19:43. | |
Scientists are relying on plant genetics to reforest affected areas. | :19:44. | :19:51. | |
-- and insects. 10,000 saplings have been planted in this field, | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
made up of 14 different varieties of ash. They will all be exposed to | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
ash dieback. Those that survive will be resistant to the disease | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
and they could form the basis of a brand new breeding programme. | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
Scientists say this is only one part of the solution. Stopping the | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
import of foreign ash trees and teaching the public to spot the | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
signs of ash dieback will be essential to ensure seedlings like | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
these grow long into the future. There is also more good news today. | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
The BBC has learnt the National Trust say they have identified | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
species of ash which might also be resistant to the disease. Clearly, | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
progress has been made but undoubtedly a very long way to go. | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
A 3D printer and suspected homemade gun components have been seized | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
during police raids in Manchester. A plastic magazine and trigger, | :20:55. | :20:56. | |
which detectives suspect could be fitted together to make a firearm, | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
and would be able to get through a metal detector unnoticed. Greater | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
Manchester Police said forensic experts were assessing whether the | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
parts could make a genuine weapon. Greater Manchester Police believed | :21:06. | :21:18. | |
that this piece of plastic may be the trigger of a gun. They say it | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
was bound with what could be a magazine, as part of the first | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
firearm in Britain to be produced by a 3D Printer. Police seize parts | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
and the printer yesterday when they raided a shop in with an oar, | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
Manchester. Police say firearms experts are examining the parts. -- | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
Wythenshawe. Detectives issued a statement saying it was a really | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
significant discovery. This afternoon they released a second | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
statement saying, we cannot categorically say we have recovered | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
the component parts for a 3D gun. The police arrested the shop owner | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
during the raid. He will not be identified. Today he was back in | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
his shop. He says the plastic parts are actually components of the | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
printer itself. It enables the printer to print better. It is | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
nothing to do with a gun whatsoever. I do not know a gun that could fit | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
the sort of thing. I have no idea why they think it could be part of | :22:29. | :22:38. | |
a gun. Earlier this year, the BBC filmed the world's first 3D printer | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
gun being fired in Texas. Greater Manchester police say parts they | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
have seized one even further testing. They say they have opened | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
up a wider debate about this next generation of weapons. A letter | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
bomb sent to Northern Ireland's chief constable has been | :23:00. | :23:01. | |
intercepted at a postal sorting office in County Antrim. An Army | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
bomb team dealt with the device at Mallusk early this morning. It had | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
been addressed to Matt Baggott at the police's headquarters in east | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
Belfast. Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers said it was a | :23:12. | :23:13. | |
callous and reckless attack. What is going on here? That is not | :23:14. | :23:28. | |
the only incident that has taken place in the last 24 hours. There | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
have been two separate security alerts and two letter bombs. They | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
have both been sent to senior members of the police force of | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
Northern Ireland. The first was sent to the headquarters and | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
specifically to the Chief Constable. The second which has been | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
discovered was once again be dressed in a high-profile officer | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
from the PSNI. Police are still dealing with that discovery. -- | :23:58. | :24:05. | |
addressed. There have been dozens of security alerts in recent weeks | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
like schools and homes having had people move out of them. What is | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
worrying is the fact that police officers have been targeted over | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
several times in recent days. There have been several bombs thrown at | :24:19. | :24:25. | |
police vehicles. Police make it clear that they believed dissident | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
republicans are involved. The security and safety of police | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
officers in Northern Ireland is of great concern. Labour has won the | :24:34. | :24:42. | |
Dunfermline by-election for the Scottish Parliament with a majority | :24:43. | :24:51. | |
of 3000. The by-election was caused by the resignation of Bill Walker, | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
who was jailed for domestic abuse. In the early hours of this morning | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
Labour got confirmation they had taken the seat convincingly from | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
the Scottish National Party. I declare Cairo Hilton to be elected | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
to serve in the Scottish Parliament. With a majority of more than 2800, | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
it was a sweet but hard fought victory. The winning candidate was | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
clear why she believes voters have turned away from the nationalists. | :25:24. | :25:33. | |
The trust that Dunfermline people marks a step to rebuilding people's | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
faith and trust for us. We are trying to connect with communities | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
across Scotland. Tonight's result makes sure we are firmly on that | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
road. Labour has wrestled the seat back from the SNP. As much as | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
Labour might make out this is a shape of things to come, with the | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
independence referendum next year, there is a limit to what can be | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
read into that a by-election result. Singers, musicians and record | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
industry bosses from across the globe have gathered in Cardiff for | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
the international WOMEX festival. It is only the second time the | :26:15. | :26:16. | |
festival has been held in the UK. Eight global gathering where | :26:17. | :26:28. | |
artists tripe and put their music on the map. -- try. WOMEX is an | :26:29. | :26:39. | |
annual travelling festival, centre of the world music scene. What | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
counts as world music? It is easy to say that world music is the | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
music that is not Anglo and American rock. It is everything | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
else. It celebrates traditional music from all around the world. | :26:56. | :27:03. | |
Folk music, Welsh music, Peruvian music, African... Everything that | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
is not Anglo Saxon and American rock. The concert sees thousands of | :27:11. | :27:18. | |
delegates swarm around the stalls. Artists, companies and countries | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
buying and selling music to one another. If you want a truly global | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
audience, this is the place to be. That is what has brought this man | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
from Mumbai to Wales. He hopes this could lead to a world tour. You get | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
to present to a talent to the worldwide audience. It is a world | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
music platform. You get to meet so many people from across the globe. | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
It is the ideal kind of situation an artist would want to be in. | :27:50. | :28:00. | |
Others have more modest ambitions. George a ruse has just brought out | :28:01. | :28:07. | |
her album. She has been getting airplay on Radio 2. -- Georgia Ruth. | :28:08. | :28:16. | |
It is a horrible concept - selling yourself. The best thing to do is | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
to be happy in your performance. From Welsh folk to Peruvian music | :28:22. | :28:28. | |
and beyond. This week it is all under one roof and waiting to be | :28:29. | :28:36. | |
discovered. Let's hope the roof stays on. Now for the weather. | :28:37. | :28:44. | |
There are storm weather warnings for the weekend. Potentially | :28:45. | :28:51. | |
disruptive where there through Sunday night and into the early | :28:52. | :28:58. | |
part of Monday. -- weather. The rain is pushing its way northwards. | :28:59. | :29:02. | |
You can see something drier and clearer following on behind. A fair | :29:03. | :29:07. | |
packet of heavy showers preaching in across Wales and the West of | :29:08. | :29:15. | |
England. -- pushing him. Camp 5 o'clock, it will still be wet in | :29:16. | :29:20. | |
the north of Scotland. Still some dry weather for the evening rush- | :29:21. | :29:26. | |
hour in Glasgow. Heavy showers turning up across England, Wales | :29:27. | :29:31. | |
and the West Midlands. Look at these temperatures! That his bank | :29:32. | :29:36. | |
to these winds coming in from a very mild southerly direction. -- | :29:37. | :29:44. | |
that is thanks. We will see lighter rain easing in across England and | :29:45. | :29:49. | |
Wales. Lots of cloud around. Does stay pretty mild overnight. | :29:50. | :29:56. | |
Temperatures will dip below double figures. On Saturday, there will be | :29:57. | :30:01. | |
grey skies and dampness around the stock every rain sweeping in on | :30:02. | :30:09. | |
brisk winds. -- around. Heavy rain. Pretty mild weather. Temperatures | :30:10. | :30:17. | |
in the mid- to high teens. On to Sunday, a mix of sunny spells and | :30:18. | :30:23. | |
showers. Temperatures getting up to around the mid- teens in places. | :30:24. | :30:30. | |
Strong winds at surface level. The jet stream is absolutely blasting | :30:31. | :30:36. | |
in across the Atlantic. That is providing the driving force for | :30:37. | :30:40. | |
this deep area of low pressure of which is moving towards our shores, | :30:41. | :30:48. | |
into the early parts of Monday. It has got potential to cause quite a | :30:49. | :30:53. | |
few problems. This is the best estimates of the track of the storm. | :30:54. | :30:59. | |
The strongest winds is to the south of that track. Heavy rain Macro | :31:00. | :31:04. | |
