American transport planes begin moving victims of the Typhoon out of | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
Tacloban, one of the worst hit areas. Finally we are seeing a | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
really large scale operation starting here, bringing in the sort | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
of aid that the people here so desperately. I am Tim Willcox live | :00:30. | :00:38. | |
in Tacloban, where a curfew is in place. Thousands of survivors | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
waiting for that aid finally to reach them. Also this lunchtime, a | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
final warning, the government could strip Birmingham Council of its | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
troubled Children's Services Department by Christmas. Prince | :00:54. | :00:56. | |

Later on BBC London former Transport Secretary calls for an urgent review | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
of cycle superhighways after another death. And the police commissioner | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
who would like to see his Surrey fourth merge with a neighbouring | :01:31. | :01:31. | |
county. Good afternoon and welcome to the | :01:32. | :01:52. | |
BBC News at One. The Prime Minister has announced that Britain is | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
sending its biggest aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious to help with that | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
aid effort in the Philippines. It will not arrive for ten days but | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
when it does it will be used in the relief operation cost of the ship | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
can also produce drinking water. In the meantime millions of people are | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
still in desperate need of vital supplies. Tim Willcox is in | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
Tacloban, a city home to more than 200,000 people that was flattened by | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
the Typhoon last Friday. You join me live in Tacloban, a | :02:18. | :02:28. | |
scene of utter devastation but where aid has finally almost a week after | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
Typhoon Haiyan finally begun to arrive. But the agony of the people | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
here continues. The road to the airport and port crammed with | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
families desperate to leave, covering their noses and mouths with | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
Klos as they shuffle past scores of bodies now in body bags lining the | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
roadside. The first big ship to arrive in the portal Tacloban came | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
here this morning with aid but it may take several days for that | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
essential aid and supplies to meet the people who need them most. This | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
report by our correspondent Jon Donnison. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
It has been slow coming. But for people living amid the wreckage in | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
Tacloban relief is beginning -- been -- beginning to arrive. This is the | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
first ship carrying aid to dock at the city's port since the Typhoon | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
struck almost a week ago. On, water and some medical supplies but it is | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
not being distributed yet and it will not go far -- on board. At the | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
same time as aid is finally coming in hundreds of families are still | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
trying to get out. This ship is being used to evacuate 1000 people. | :03:46. | :03:54. | |
This student is one of those who has decided to go. Why are you leaving? | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
Because to survive, no one, nothing is here, look at this. There is | :04:03. | :04:14. | |
nothing. At the gates of the port, many more desperate to leave but who | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
are disappointed when they are told this ship is already full. That aid | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
that has arrived here today is just a tiny, tiny fraction of what is | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
needed. You can see the scale of the destruction all along the shoreline | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
and that is just one part of this city. But the interesting thing is | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
the port itself has been largely undamaged and I -- and there have to | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
be questions about why it has taken so long to use the sport to get aid | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
in. -- port. People know that aid has been arriving for several days | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
but most are still waiting to get hold of it. They might have to wait | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
even longer. Look at the devastation here, look at the amount of time it | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
will take to clean up all of this mess. This money is from save the | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
children. He says it will be Saturday before they are able to | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
distribute anything. It takes a couple of days before the roads get | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
cleared and we can get the trucks in. We also need to bring the fuel | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
from outside. So many constraints that we need to navigate but we are | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
doing everything we can, working around the clock ourselves but it | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
just takes time and honestly, we are doing everything we humanely can. | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
But that may be little consolation for those still waiting. When all | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
the while the misery continues. That was the scene at the port | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
today. We flew in just before dusk and the airport was buzzing with | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
activity. US Marine helicopters and other aircraft alongside Filipino | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
flights bringing in high-energy biscuits, water and medicines for | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
the people here. Our correspondent Rupert Wingfield-Hayes has spent the | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
day at the airport. So this is really what people here | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
have been waiting for, hoping for, for nearly a week since the Typhoon/ | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
. What we are seeing here this morning is the outside world turning | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
up for the first time real force. These are the US Marine Corps. They | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
are coming in here essentially to take control of the airport and to | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
set up operations here. We have also seen French firefighters, Belgian | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
firefighters, Malaysia and engineers and we are seeing aids coming in | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
also now in large quantities. This is from Australia. This is from the | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
United States. This is just the beginning. More food, much more | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
food, is needed and it is to be distributed to people out in the | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
destroyed neighbourhoods. We have also seen today the Philippine | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
forces, the Philippine Government, also coming onto the streets in | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
force, clearing roads, picking up dead bodies, so finally we are | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
seeing a really large scale operation starting here, bringing in | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
the sort of vague that the people here so desperately... | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
Security remains a problem. Curfew has been in place for the past hour | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
and families we have spoken to talk about being holed up in their homes | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
as armed gangs went around the town looking for food and cash. These | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
families talking about people being shot, murdered and raped. All that, | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
they said, in those few days when they felt the world has forgotten | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
them. Back to you in London. | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
Thank you very much. The Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious is | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
now on its way to the Philippines to help with the aid effort. Our | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
defence correspondent Caroline Wyatt is with me. She will not their -- | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
get there for ten days? It will take about ten days. She was tasked off | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
the Horn of Africa when she was told to go across to the Philippines. She | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
is not far away from Singapore we believe at the moment but it will | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
take some time to get there. She is most likely to take over from HMS | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
daring, the destroyer sent a few days ago. She will arrive by this | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
weekend roughly and they will take part as part of a task force of | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
international help along with American aircraft carriers and | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
others such as Australia involved. What she can offer is a floating | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
airbase, if you like, of a flight deck on which other people can also | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
land the helicopters from which supplies can be taken and used to | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
recce the kind of damage there is, do those kinds of assessments and | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
also assist in perhaps if needed generating water because she can | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
generate her own water supply. Clean drinking water is much needed but | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
really it is the help they are bringing their that can be | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
integrated into what the other people bring. | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
You can find plenty more coverage of the Typhoon's impact and the global | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
response on the BBC News website. You will find detailed maps of the | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
affected areas, aerial pictures showing the extent of the damage and | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
many of the video reports filed by our correspondence. All offer online | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
at bbc.co.uk/news. Unite David Cameron has been warned by the Sri | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
Lankan government not to quiz them over alleged war crimes in 2009. The | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
Prime Minister has rejected calls to boycott a Commonwealth Summit in the | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
country, saying he would use his visit to raise its human rights | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
record but the Sri Lankans said he had no right to bring it up as he | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
had not been invited on that basis. Our correspondence Charles Haviland | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
sent this report. Mr Cameron says it is only by | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
attending this summit and meeting the Sri Lankan president that he can | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
raise difficult human rights issues. He will make one new departure will | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
stop it will be the first foreign leader to visit the Tamil north of | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
the island, the place where the long war was fought since independence in | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
1948. The Government's war against the Tamil Tigers, a ruthless | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
separatist group, lasted three decades and caused over 100,000 | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
deaths. After an all-out army offensive they were crushed four | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
years ago. Both sides were accused of atrocities but with most Tiger | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
leaders dead into the Government that gets the brunt of accusations. | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
Mr Cameron has been in India and speaking to journalists that he | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
repeated his message of toughness or the Sri Lankans. There needs to be | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
proper enquiries into what happened at the end of the war. There is | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
always the case for not going somewhere but I think actually we | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
will get further by going and having conversations with the Sri Lankans | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
about what needs to happen and shining a light on some of issues | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
the problems that are there. Sri Lanka's Government was on the | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
defensive. Speaking this morning the president said there had been -- | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
they had been suffering for 30 years, not just at the end of the | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
war. If anyone who wants to complain about the human rights violation in | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
Sri Lanka, whether it is torture, whether it is rape, you must respect | :10:57. | :11:05. | |
the system of the country. Meanwhile the Prince of Wales, representing | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
the Queen as head of the Commonwealth, flew in with the | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
Duchess of Cornwall. They will attend a reception for his 65th | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
birthday before he opens the summit tomorrow. | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
Letts speaks our correspondent James Robbins, who is in Colombo. Don't | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
raise human rights issues is the message from the Sri Lankan | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
Government, but how much pressure is David Cameron and to do so? I think | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
the Prime Minister is determined to raise those issues. It was always | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
made very clear that the reason he did not want Britain to boycott this | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
summit, to stay away, because he thought it was better to engage, to | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
shine a spotlight as he puts it, on Sri Lanka and to try to use this | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
summit to put far greater pressure on President Rajapaksa to bring | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
forward all sorts of reforms right through the judicial system right | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
through the police force and to achieve genuine reconciliation after | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
a separatist war which he undoubtedly won and where his | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
crushing victory was allegedly accompanied by appalling war | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
crimes. There is no question that the Prime Minister thinks he has to | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
raise this, he wants to raise it and tomorrow he will absent himself from | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
a significant part of the day on the opening day of this Commonwealth | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
Summit to fly to the North, as Charles Haviland was telling us, to | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
make the point there in person on the ground. James Robbins from | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
Colombo, thank you. New figures show that the economic | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
recovery in the Eurozone and the 17 countries that use the euro has | :12:34. | :12:41. | |
slowed. Economic output com -- increased by 0.1% compared with 0.3% | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
between April and June. Growth in Germany slowed to 0.3% and in France | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
the economy shrank. Here retail sales fell by 0.7% in October with | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
mild weather affecting sales of winter clothing. The Office for | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
National Statistics said sales volumes are still up 1.8% on this | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
time last year, which indicates increased consumer confidence. | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
The NHS hospital trust at the centre of the scandal about delayed cancer | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
treatment has been put into special measures. The announcement by | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
Colchester Hospital was made by Monitor. Birmingham Council could be | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
stripped of its troubled Children's Services Department by Christmas if | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
standards do not improve. The Department for Education will step | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
in if inspectors decided has not improved when they return in a few | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
weeks. The department is the biggest of its kind in England and has been | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
rated as inadequate for four years. Last month the chief inspector of | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
Ofsted, Sir Michael Wilshaw, said the city's failure to protect | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
vulnerable children was a national disgrace. Our social affairs | :13:47. | :13:48. | |
correspondent Michael Buchanan reports. | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
Two-year-old Gianni Williams was beaten to death, his small body | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
found with 37 separate injuries -- Keanu Williams. His mother Rebecca | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
Shuttleworth is serving a life servants for his murder. Tara Robins | :14:04. | :14:13. | |
new Keanu and says she was duped. I genuinely believe innocent until | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
proven guilty and when she was found guilty, I wanted nothing to do with | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
her. I felt sick I had befriended her and I tried to help her. Keanu | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
was one of several children who have died in recent years in Birmingham. | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
Failings by social services contributed each death. Across the | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
city nearly 2000 children are being protected but too many have simply | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
slipped through the net and Children's Services here have been | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
rated inadequate since 2009. Burning's problems are not solely of | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
the Council Cosma making. There is a huge demand for services here in the | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
city. There is a large, young, diverse population here, often | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
living in some of the most deprived communities in the country. The man | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
currently running Children's Services says an Ofsted review later | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
this month will leave ministers with an unenviable task. The city is | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
clear that given that it hasn't improved since 2009, it has lost the | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
right to a full hand on the tiller in determining where it goes from | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
here, so that is why the decision is with the Secretary of State. It is | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
an enormously difficult decision that faces the Secretary of State | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
because there are no easy answers. Doncaster lost control of its | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
Children's Services earlier this year. Trust has been created to run | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
that department, but Birmingham is a much bigger problem and staff are | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
anxious. We have had lots of changes of management, lots of | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
reorganisations of services, block -- none of which seems to have made | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
a significant difference. So staff are wary. After years of failure a | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
decision on how best to protect children in Birmingham is imminent. | :15:53. | :16:02. | |
It is 1.15. Our top story this lunchtime: American transport planes | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
begin moving victims of the typhoon out of Tacloban. Britain is sending | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
its a guest aircraft carrier, HMS illustrious. And still to come: The | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
television presenter whose job may have saved her life. | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
Later on BBC London, we hear from a theatre project that supports | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
vulnerable young people thanks to Children in Need. And can you spot | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
the difference between these two logos? Spurs have asked a Hampshire | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
football club to change theirs. It's a year since 41 Police and | :16:36. | :16:43. | |
Crime Commissioners were elected across England and Wales. The | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
controversial, high-profile positions were created to replace | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
police authorities and to ensure that forces are run effectively. But | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
12 months later, a BBC survey suggests more than a third of adults | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
don't know they have a Police and Crime Commissioner. And questions | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
have also been raised about some of the people who've been appointed and | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
doubts over whether it has actually saved money. Let's get more now from | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
Matthew Amroliwala, who's in central London. | :17:11. | :17:20. | |
Sophie, thank you. This was a flagship policy for the Government, | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
a huge change in policing. Big powers that these new police | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
commissioners. But what about the basics in the last 12 months? Had it | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
cut crime? Has it changed priorities for police? Is it more efficient? | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
Have the new commissioners held the police forces to account? This | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
report from Mike Sergeant. The way in which the police respond | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
to emergencies hasn't changed, but each forces now held to account by a | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
politician. In Norfolk, less than 15% voted in the election when | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
Stephen bet was chosen as Police and Crime Commissioners. But he says his | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
policing background gives and advantages -- gives him an advantage | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
over many others in a similar position. Tried get your head round | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
what the police do at how they do it, to gain their trust and | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
loyalty, and to understand how you deal with problems, what is | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
operational and what is not, are problems for other PCCs, as they are | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
political opponents and they do not understand. | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
Day-to-day decisions are still taken by the police in this control | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
centre. The Police and Crime Commissioners isn't allowed to | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
interfere with operational policing. Their job is to hold the force to | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
account and set the wider strategic priorities. The Police Federation | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
which represents officers said many questions had been raised about the | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
expenditure of commissioners, and whether some are getting too | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
involved in operational policing. But their effectiveness would | :18:55. | :18:56. | |
ultimately be for the public to decide. | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
Have you heard of the PCC? I have, but I don't know what it is dealt. I | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
don't see if it has made any difference. Too much politics and | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
the law don't mix. I took part in the election, but I have heard no | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
good or bad things about it since. That is not particularly unusual. A | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
BBC commissioned poll found that 62% were aware of the existence of a | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
commission in areas that have one. 34% believe the individual has had a | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
positive impact on reducing crime. Some of the PCCs have faced | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
controversy over their expenses and staff appointment. In the past few | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
days, Stephen bet has paid back ?3000 he claimed for mileage. | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
Ministers say that there will always good to be difficulties with such a | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
significant change. The Government thinks that the important thing is | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
that the voters do have more of an influence now on policing and crime. | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
Let's speak to Tony Lloyd, the chair of the Association of the PCCs. | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
Success or expensive failure? It is a measured success. We are one year | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
in, I didn't think we should judge until we have everything in perfect | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
working order. Commissions are moving in the right direction, | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
moving the relationship between the police and the community, the most | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
report -- important relationship, in the right direction. More than 50% | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
of people think it has had no or a negative impact on crime. We have | :20:36. | :20:43. | |
got to get across the message that there has been a positive impact. In | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
one area we got rid of targets for the police, meaning that instead of | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
police doing the unpopular thing of being given a quota, a number of | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
motorists to pick up for speeding or whatever, now they can concentrate | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
on doing what they should do which is to talk about road safety and | :21:02. | :21:09. | |
help make our roads safer. It is about making the roads safer, not | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
simply nicking people. Tony Lloyd, thank you for your time. Plenty more | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
on the police commissioners on the BBC News website. But now back to | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
the studio. Matthew, thank you very much. A | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
breakfast television presenter in America is having a double | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
mastectomy today after discovering she had breast cancer after she was | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
persuaded to have a mammogram live on TV. 40-year-old Amy Robach who | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
presents ABC's Good Morning America says she hopes her story will | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
inspire every woman who hears it to get tested for breast cancer. | :21:38. | :21:48. | |
It was just six weeks ago that pink took over GNA. I had no idea how | :21:49. | :21:56. | |
quickly my life was about to change. We have made a real commitment to | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
bring you what you need to know to be healthy and informed. | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
We were kicking off breast Cancer awareness month, with real survivors | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
and celebrities alike. I want to say I was happy to do my part, but | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
honestly, I was a little reluctant at first. You are being so strong | :22:13. | :22:20. | |
today. I had been asked if I would get a mammogram on air to demystify | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
it for women who might be nervous. I am 40, and I have been putting it | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
off. The truth is, I had been putting | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
their soft for a year. Between flying all over the world for work, | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
and running around to school with my kids, to ballet, to gymnastics, I | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
just kept putting it off. That morning, I did a piece explaining | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
why had agreed. And I started to think, if I have put it off, how | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
many other people have put it off as well? I went in to see Robin | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
Roberts, and she said if one life is saved because of early detection, it | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
is all worth it. And now to a very brave moment for our dear colleague, | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
Amy Robach. Inside the van I was calm, and there wasn't anything to | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
be scared of. It was over in a few minutes, and then my smiling friends | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
were waiting for me. It hurt so much less than I thought it would. It was | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
nothing. She was so nervous this morning, and she is so happy right | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
now! And that was it, or so I thought. Short time later, I was | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
asked to come back for more scans. Last week, a tornado of tests. | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
Doctors move quickly when they are concerned. Finally, the diagnosis | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
that is still hard for me to say at loud. I have breast cancer. I know | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
that I have a fight ahead of me, but I also know that I have a lot worth | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
fighting for. And I am so grateful that I got that mammogram that day | :23:59. | :24:07. | |
on GNA. If I got the mammogram on air and it saved on life, it is all | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
worth it, she said. It never occurred to me that that life would | :24:13. | :24:14. | |
be mine. Amy Robach, a presenter on Good | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
Morning America. India is saying farewell to the | :24:19. | :24:20. | |
cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, who's regarded by his admirers as the | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
greatest batsman of all time. The only man to have scored 100 Test | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
centuries, he's now playing against the West Indies in his final match | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
in his home city of Mumbai. Our correspondent, Andrew North, has | :24:33. | :24:33. | |
been soaking up the atmosphere. It is the moment India hoped would | :24:34. | :24:45. | |
never happen. Its greatest ever cricketer has come out to bat in his | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
last test. The country is almost in morning. Who was Sachin Tendulkar | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
playing? No one was talking about the West Indies. Today was all about | :24:57. | :24:57. | |
one man. Fans were queueing for block after | :24:58. | :25:09. | |
block to get a last glimpse of the man they call the master blaster. We | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
are very lucky to what should his last match. They come from all over | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
the world. Among them, this woman from London. All the dreams he has | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
made come true, not just for me, for the country, for the team, for the | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
fans. This is history in the making, and I'm feeling emotional. He is | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
gone. He is not beaten, he is gone. If you score 100 centuries, you are | :25:38. | :25:45. | |
not going to be beaten. He hit his first test century here against | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
England when he was just 17. As he retires more than 20 years later, no | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
batsmen has even come close to his record of 100 centuries in | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
international cricket. This is game to be one of those where were you | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
moments, when Sachin Tendulkar retires. Tickets have been | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
reportedly changing hands for up to 40 times that face value on the | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
black market. It is almost good buy for good, but his fans say that the | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
Sachin Tendulkar effect will last for ever. For a country that is not | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
always so sure about itself, he has given India believe they can be the | :26:28. | :26:28. | |
best in the world. Prince Harry has been given a South | :26:29. | :26:36. | |
Pole flag to take with him on his charity expedition to Antarctica. | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
The group of wounded servicemen and women gathered in Trafalgar Square | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
this morning. On Sunday they fly to Cape Town before heading for the | :26:45. | :26:46. | |
South Pole. Our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports. | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
He has known the heat of the Afghan desert during his army service. Now | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
he is about to feel the numbing cold Antarctica as Harry said -- sets off | :26:57. | :27:05. | |
with a team of wounded British servicemen and women for a trip to | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
the South Pole. One of the British participant is Major Kate Philp. It | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
is going to be gruelling. We will be skiing for ten or 12 hours a day. | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
Keeping that up for ten or 12 hours a day for two weeks, possibly longer | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
if the weather is unkind. It is over 335 kilometres, so physically | :27:30. | :27:34. | |
gruelling. Two and a half years ago, a team from walking with the wounded | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
successfully completed the 200 mile trip to the North Pole. On that | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
occasion, Harry spent several days with them during the final stages of | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
their preparations in Norway. The training included learning how to | :27:48. | :27:50. | |
deal with sudden immersion in freezing water. That was tough | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
enough. The challenges of the Antarctic, of course, are much | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
greater. This time, he will be going all the way with them. He has taken | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
part in training exercises, including a night in an industrial | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
freezer earlier this year when they learned what -50 centigrade feels | :28:09. | :28:13. | |
like. In Trafalgar Square this morning, he spoke of the | :28:14. | :28:16. | |
determination of the wounded war heroes. They are going to achieve | :28:17. | :28:22. | |
something quite remarkable, and in doing so will prove to everybody | :28:23. | :28:26. | |
else that even when you have lost a leg or an arm, that you can achieve | :28:27. | :28:33. | |
pretty much anything if you put your mind to it. The three teams are due | :28:34. | :28:37. | |
to arrive in Antarctica next week. Time for a look at the weather. | :28:38. | :28:41. | |
Here's Phil Avery. Good afternoon. We will have a | :28:42. | :28:51. | |
flavour of that sort of weather coming to the British Isles, but not | :28:52. | :29:02. | |
just yet. There is an author Western wind across the British Isles today, | :29:03. | :29:05. | |
fondling showers through the Irish Sea and down into northern Wales. | :29:06. | :29:12. | |
Somewhere else that is very exposed is the north-eastern quarter of | :29:13. | :29:18. | |
Scotland. Come the mid part of the afternoon, we will still have one or | :29:19. | :29:21. | |
two showers across the western side of Wales. Away from the breeze, ten | :29:22. | :29:29. | |
or 11 Celsius, quite pleasant in the sunshine. The showers will stay on | :29:30. | :29:38. | |
the western side of Wales. And all the while, windy conditions rattling | :29:39. | :29:41. | |
those showers into the higher ground in the north of Scotland, where we | :29:42. | :29:47. | |
see them converting to snow very readily above four or 500 metres. As | :29:48. | :29:53. | |
the skies begin to clear, once the sun is down, we will have a bit of a | :29:54. | :29:58. | |
problem with frost. I mention it for the extent rather than the | :29:59. | :30:05. | |
intensity. You will notice that across that north-western corner, | :30:06. | :30:10. | |
not such a problem. Quite a breeze yet again, another windy day across | :30:11. | :30:14. | |
this north-western quarter, and the clouds sufficiently thick | :30:15. | :30:18. | |
eventually. Elsewhere, you will be scraping the car first thing across | :30:19. | :30:21. | |
a large part of England and Wales away from the coast. We will keep | :30:22. | :30:26. | |
temperatures up to nine or ten Celsius or so. A lot of isobars | :30:27. | :30:32. | |
across the northern half of the British Isles particularly. This | :30:33. | :30:37. | |
weather fronts spreading a band of cloud and rain ever further towards | :30:38. | :30:41. | |
the south, and it will take time to get down across the British Isles, | :30:42. | :30:44. | |
so that a game in the southeastern corner, the day will start clear, | :30:45. | :30:49. | |
but it will be wet and windy across the northern areas. The cloud will | :30:50. | :30:55. | |
thicken up and bring the prospect of rain. Temperatures at their | :30:56. | :31:01. | |
warmest, oddly, across the North. Then we still have that fund to | :31:02. | :31:05. | |
content with through Sunday, sinking further towards the south. Something | :31:06. | :31:09. | |
a little cooler on the way for the start of next week. If you want our | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
thoughts on how that will affect you from Tuesday onwards, it would all | :31:14. | :31:15. | |
be there for you on the website. At half past one, a reminder of our | :31:16. | :31:23. | |
main story this lunchtime. American transport planes begin moving | :31:24. | :31:27. | |
victims of the Philippines typhoon out of Tacloban, one of the worst | :31:28. | :31:32. | |
hit areas. Britain is sending it biggest aircraft carrier to help | :31:33. | :31:33. | |
with the | :31:34. | :31:34. |
