Capital. Good afternoon. Welcome to BBC News | :01:36. | :01:51. | |
at One. The former chairman of the | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
Cooperative Bank, Paul Flowers, has been arrested by West Yorkshire | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
Police. The 63-year-old was detained on Merseyside last night as part of | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
an ongoing investigation into the supply of illegal drugs. It's also | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
emerged he was forced to resign from the board of the Co-op group earlier | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
this year because of his excessive expense claims. Our correspondent, | :02:12. | :02:20. | |
Danny savage, is in Leeds for us. West Yorkshire police have been | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
investigating the activities of Powell Paul Flowers for days now and | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
last night they made their move. He was visited by police officers and | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
arrested. For the best part of a week now, the | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
life of Paul Flowers has been under intense scrutiny. Last night, he was | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
arrested. In a statement, West Yorkshire Police said: | :02:44. | :02:58. | |
It follows allegations made in a Sunday newspaper claiming the | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
methodist minister handed over money for cocaine. | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
He's since been suspended from the church, which has caused obvious | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
embarrassment to them. Inevident thatibly this raises questions of | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
the church as to how trustworthy it is but that can't be allowed to | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
undermine the gracious gifts of God. It's also emerged today that the | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
house he lived in in Bradford belongs to the methodist church. | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
They said even though he's suspended, he can stay here. Last | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
night, the BBC learned that Paul Flowers resigned from the Co-op | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
Group over concerns about his expenses which had been described by | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
one source as lavish. It was not my function, as the chair | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
of the board, to have all those details... The Prime Minister's | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
ordered an inquiry ass to how he was considered a suitable chairman for | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
the Co-op Bank. So the clergyman at the centre of | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
this storm is now being questioned in a police station in Leeds. We | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
think it's this one here in the city centre. This is a storm which | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
originated here in West Yorkshire, but which has since gone to the very | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
top of British politics. Scotland Yard has been giving more | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
details about its investigation into claims that three women had been | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
held as domestic slaves at a house in South London for at least 30 | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
years. A couple in their 60s who were arrested yesterday have been | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
released on police bail pending further inquiries. The women, aged | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
30, 57 and 69 were rescued last monthed and are said to be deeply | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
traumatised. Sophie Hutchinson has more. | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
Somewhere on one of those streets in Lambeth in South London is the house | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
where the three women were held. Captive for 30 years as modern day | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
slaves. Their identities are being protected | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
and the details are still searchy, but police have explained how they | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
came to be alerted. On the 18th October, one of the women, a | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
57-year-old from Ireland, called a charity which alerted the police. | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
Three days later, officers passed the information to a human | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
trafficking unit. On the 25th October, the Irish and | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
British women escaped and a third from Malaysia, was then rescued at | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
the house. The three women are described as | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
being highly traumatised. They are now being cared for by specialists | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
at an undisclosed location and experts say they'll require | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
extensive help. They'll need to be feel safe, | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
they'll need medical support and clinical psychological support. | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
They'll need trauma counselling. Then they'll need help adjusting to | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
a life of freedom where they are, for the first never mind their lives | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
in this case of one of them, free to come and go as they please and make | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
decisions that you and I take for granted every single day about what | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
they want to do with their life. So just how widespread are cases | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
like these? The global slavery index estimates there are between 4200 and | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
4600 slaves in the UK. Detectives at the National Crime | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
Agency say they encountered more than 2000 potential victims of human | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
trafficking in the UK in the last year. | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
Many people like to think that slavery's been consigned to the | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
history books. Sadly, cases that we continue to see underline that there | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
is this modern day slavery that is often out of sight. We are very | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
focussed on ensuring that there is the operational support, getting | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
agencies to do more, but also Leggetting. | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
The police investigation is expected to be slow and complicated. | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
A 67-year-old married cup who will were arrested in Lambeth yesterday | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
have been released on bail until January. | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
Our correspondent, Sarah Campbell, is at Scotland Yard. What more has | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
been said today? Kate, a media briefing has just | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
finished, so just to take you through some of the key points. The | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
first thing, this is going to take some considerable time, they say, | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
because they are ever Fick feck you havely trying to unpick a story | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
that's lasted for 30 years. First of all, they dealt with the two | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
suspects, the 67-year-old man and woman who were released on bail but | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
haven't been able to go back to this house in South London. | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
The police said although they are not British, they have been in the | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
country for many years. They theyed this family to the outside world | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
would have appeared as a normal family and would have had contact | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
with the authorities and indeed they said that the two suspects were | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
arrested in the 1970s. They are now looking to see whether they had any | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
other contacts with the authorities, be that the police or any of the | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
other authorities either. Now, in terms of the three women, what we | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
know is that they were not trafficked into the UK, but what the | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
police are looking into was a complicated story. They described it | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
as invisible handcuffs. What was it that psychologically kept these | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
women in that house for such a long period of time? They said again, as | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
they said before, they don't expect there to be a sexual element to | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
this, but they have confirmed the women were physically harmed in the | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
form of beatings. They also said they were not looking for any other | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
victims with regard to this. The house, we are told, has been | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
searched over the last 12 hours. 55 bags of evidence have been removed, | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
2500 exhibits. This will be an investigation that will that will | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
continue for some substantial amount of time. | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
Thank you. An inquest into the death of moirts Airheart who died while | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
working at a city bank hears he died of natural causes. | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
Our business correspondent, Emma Simpson, reports. | :08:49. | :08:56. | |
Moritz, he was mature, very clever and ambitious. | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, was on the verge of offering him a job | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
at the end of a summer internship. But, he was found dead in a shower | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
at his flat in this East London block, used to house city interns. | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
Today, at his inquest, it was confirmed that he died from an | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
epileptic seizure. This inquest is looking into whether long working | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
hours played a role in Moritz' death. His mentor at the bank told | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
the court that in his last few days, the 21-year-old had done some | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
exceptional hours, to my knowledge unheard of, he said, to me that is | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
disturbing. He also said Moritz loved his work and was coping. His | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
parents travelled from Germany to give evidence. They said their son | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
had been on medication. It didn't stop him from having a normal life. | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
The court heard no-one at the bank knew of his medical condition. The | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
pathologist said he didn't rule out exhaustion as a trigger but there | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
was no proof that it was. The coroner's verdict was that | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
Moritz died from natural causes. All sucks Britons arrested by | :10:07. | :10:18. | |
Russian authorities during a Greenpeace protest in the Arctic | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
have been freed on bail after spending two months in detention. | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
Kieron Bryan, Alex Harris, Matthew Perrett, were among 30 people | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
charged with hooliganism at an ark till oil rig two months ago. They | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
originally faced pyrery charges. Five of the six companies that own | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
and operate Britain's electricity network have been told by the energy | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
regulator to do more to cut bills. Ofgem rejected the firm's business | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
plans for 2015 to 2023 with western power distribution, the only company | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
to have its cost plans accepted. Emergency services in Latvia say at | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
least 32 people have died after the roof of a large supermarket | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
collapsed in the capital. Three killed were emergency workers | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
helping people trapped when more of the roof then came down. The search | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
for survivors continues. Nick Channel Islands reports. | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
The jagged gaping hole that was a modern supermarket, clearly visible, | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
the remnants of the roof garden that's the chief suspect in this | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
catastrophic collapse, tonnes of soil weighed down further by heavy | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
rain. It's been hampering the rescue workers as they've been searching | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
for survives or more victims. Occasionally, the rescuers pause. | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
We are make making like a silent moment and we are asking the victims | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
to call the mobile phone of the persons so we can hear the sound of | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
the phone. As the scale of the disaster has | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
become increasingly apparent, the anxiety and grief of those waiting | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
for news of missing relatives is clear to see. | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
This man says he believes his wife was in the store. There's no | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
information about whether she's alive or dead. | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
The initial roof collapse came during last evening's rush hour. | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
Then there was a second collapse, rescue workers among the victims. | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
Eyewitnesses say some shoppers were trapped when the store's electronic | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
door was shut automatically. The Government's already announced a | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
police inquiry into construction standards. | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
But for now, the focus is on the rescue effort, the massive clear-up | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
and what the final cost in lives will be. | :12:28. | :12:37. | |
Our main story this lunch time: The former chaimpl chairman of the | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
Cooperative Bank, Paul Flowers, is arrested by police for supplying | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
drugs. Still to come, 50 years after it was first broadcast, we explore | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
the timeless appeal of Doctor Who. It is a children's programme that | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
came a cult hit which turned into a global brand and perhaps one of the | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
most culturally significant programmes to have been made. | :13:04. | :13:09. | |

It's one of the few moments in history when those who were alive | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
will always remember where they were when they heard about it. | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
The assassination of President John F Kennedy. 50 years ago, he was shot | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
dead in Dallas and today, crowds are gathering again to pay tribute to | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
his legacy. Questions remain about how his presidency would have turned | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
out if he lived, but the iconic images of that fateful day live on. | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
Nick Brian sent this report. Love Field, Dallas, Texas. | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
And the most beautiful couple who'd ever occupied the White House. They | :14:05. | :14:12. | |
were about to embark on a journey that changed America and the world. | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
Instantly Ike Openic, the images are so familiar, the welcoming crowds, | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
the famed pink suit, the open-top limousine. | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
There appears as though something's happened in the motorcade group. | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
Something indeed has happened in the motorcade roof. The film caught John | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
F Kennedy's last moments. Just a moment, just a moment. We | :14:39. | :14:46. | |
have a bulletin. President Kennedy has been | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
assassinated. It's official now. The President is dead. | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
He was 46 years old. His fleeting presidency had lasted little more | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
than 1,000 days. Pearce Allman was a young reporter | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
that day, opposite the Texas school from where the shots rang out. | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
This is 50 years later and I'm in the same spot. | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
I can see Jackie and the President right there. I can see the car turn | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
and, if I turn around and face it, I'll... I'll see the whole ten | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
seconds again, maybe even in slow motion. It just, the impact is | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
indescribable. The official version is that Lee Harvey Oswald, a former | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
US marine, was the lone assassin. Just two days later, he himself was | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
gunned down. Two thirds of the American people still find it | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
unbelievable that a 24-year-old loner, with a 21 dollar rifle, could | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
have assassinated the President on his own. Many of the conspiracy | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
theories are even more implausible. 50 years on, we still don't have a | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
definitive account of what happened at the world's most imfanous crime | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
scene. Nor do we know how Kennedy's presidency would have unfolded. The | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
public's been kinder to his memory than historians, but a central | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
reason for his continuing fascination is that we all get to | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
decide how his story could have ended. | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
Nick is live in Dallas. What arrangements have been denied -- | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
made to mark today? 50 years ago Dallas was known as the city of | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
hate. It is one of the reasons JFK was warned not to come here but | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
today it will become a place of remembrance, of commemoration, | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
perhaps even Atonement of people gather here Dealey Plaza to remember | :16:44. | :16:52. | |
JFK's life and his death. There will be commemorations in Boston, his | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
hometown, and in Washington, DC where President Barack Obama has | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
ordered that flags be flown at half mask. He is one of history's | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
endlessly malleable figures. As I say, we all get to decide how the | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
fairy tale could have ended. For some, he's the president that would | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
have extricated America from the horror of Vietnam. He would have | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
been a racial healer. You may have saved America from the nightmare of | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
Watergate. We are dealing with the myth as well as a man. He enlarged | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
America's involvement in Vietnam. It was a bystander to the civil rights | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
movement for the first two and a half years of his presidency and he | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
was hit by scandal, known for their 1000 nights as well as their 1000 | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
date. It is a contradictory legacy in many ways and just as his | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
assassination is argued over, so too is his contribution to American | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
history. Unite there will be special -- special coverage of the | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
commemorations in Dallas later today on the BBC News Channel at 6:30pm. | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
New Anni it has been two weeks since Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
leaving at least I was -- 5000 people dead and large parts of the | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
country devastated. Tacloban was hard hit with more bodies being | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
discovered in the wreckage. As Jeremy Cooke reports the survivors | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
are starting to rebuild their lives. There has been so much chaos but | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
now, at last, there is order. The aid is arriving in Tacloban and | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
systems to guarantee everyone has food and water. Rebuilding will take | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
years but getting the power back online will help. No time for health | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
and safe to hear. This is urgent work. And in every neighbourhood the | :18:47. | :18:56. | |
people themselves are fighting back. For this family is a battle to | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
retake their lives starts here. Their mission, to wash away all | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
traces of the killer typhoon. With their school destroyed the girls, | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
Angel and Tiffany, are helping out, doing all they can. It is a mess. | :19:12. | :19:21. | |
But endorsed their grandmother is contemplating ruined -- but | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
endorsed. Her brave face briefly breaks the tension and anxiety. I | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
cannot leave this place. I will stay here. I was born here and I cannot | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
afford to leave this place at my age. In reality she and her | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
neighbours have little time to indulge in emotion. There is work to | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
do in the street and they are getting on with it. Sammy is the | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
woman's cousin. He has a house full of mud but he also has food, water, | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
a home-made shovel and plenty of attitude. Positive attitude. After a | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
war, it is peace. After the rain, the sunshine, that is all. As long | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
as we are alive, we have breath, we work, go, movement. Clearly there is | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
still so much work to do here but it is through their own hard work that | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
the people themselves are making all the difference, cleaning up and | :20:26. | :20:27. | |
moving on, determined that their city and their region will rise | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
again. But there is still a mountain to climb. The sniffer dog is working | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
flat out to find those victims who lie beneath the ruins of a two weeks | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
on. A lot of the areas outside the main streets that were a priority to | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
clear have not been swept, so we are coming up with dozens at a time. | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
Dozens a day? Yes. And so it goes on. Every victim found adding to the | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
confirmed total of lives taken by Typhoon Haiyan. | :21:02. | :21:10. | |
More than ?40 million has been donated by the British public to | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
help in the ongoing appeal for those affected by Typhoon Haiyan. Today, | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
Victoria Beckham joined the fundraising effort with the fashion | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
designer donating this mountain of shoes to a British Red Cross charity | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
shop. She and her husband David also gave boxes of designer clothes with | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
the items going on save Russ-macro sale in Chelsea in central London. | :21:31. | :21:39. | |
England suffered a dreadful day Down Under as they collapsed from 82-2, | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
to 91-8 on the second day of the first Ashes test macro in Brisbane. | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
England were all out at 136. Australia were 65 without loss, a | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
lead of 224. Joe Wilson reports from the gamma. As you enter the Gabba | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
ground there is a picture of Aussie cricketers as working class heroes, | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
and washed warriors ready for battle. It is all marketing but | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
suddenly Australia's cricket matches the image. There is nothing fake | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
about Ryan Harris. Charging in is what he does, too good for Alastair | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
Cook here. England won down in reply to Australia's 295. Mitchell | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
Johnson, so mocked for inaccuracy, struck before lunch. A faint touch | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
from Trott, 55-2. To be victims of Australia, Alastair Cook and | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
Jonathan Trott. Big reputations, they have endured miserable English | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
summers so who is going to come to England's rescue now here at the | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
Gabba? Kevin Pietersen, in his 100th test macro, he made 18, Court | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
Bailey, bold Harris. Michael Carberry in just his second test | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
match battle to 40 but Johnson got in and now England were gripped by | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
fear. No Bell to save them this time. He made five. The rain ball, | :22:57. | :23:04. | |
replays proved he had hit the ball. Three wickets had fallen with the | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
score on 87. Johnson tour in like a fast bowler reborn. Joe Root helps | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
him. When Graeme Swann was England had lost six wickets for nine runs. | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
In terms of batting collapses almost an all-time low. England were all | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
out for 136. When is it doesn't quite go to plan there is always a | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
slight feeling of disappointment but we are approved -- bridges are | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
confident bunch in our abilities and how we bounce back from | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
disappointing days because you will have those as gritters. We picked -- | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
pretty confident we can do it. By the close Australia were passed 50, | :23:42. | :23:51. | |
224 ahead, almost out of sight. For many it is perhaps best watched | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
from behind the sofa but there will be plenty of people turning on the | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
TV this weekend to watch the world's most famous time traveller | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
turned 50. To mark the programme's does by a special 50th anniversary | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
episode is being shown on BBC One tomorrow featuring not one, but | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
three doctors. Our arts editor Will Gompertz has been looking back at | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
five decades of the Time Lord and has been given exclusive access to | :24:16. | :24:16. | |
the TARDIS. CREAKING. It really is, you know, | :24:17. | :24:26. | |
big on the inside. 50 years ago at 5:15pm on the 23rd | :24:27. | :24:47. | |
of November, 1963, a mysterious exile from another world appeared on | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
BBC One. Get back! Atone for the show was set not by | :24:52. | :25:11. | |
the writers or producers but by the ingenious techies in the BBC | :25:12. | :25:13. | |
Radiophonic Workshop, who could make lo-fi sound high-tech. Whoops! | :25:14. | :25:33. | |
If a goodie is going to be really good he needs a baddie who is really | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
bad and the programme has created some iconic foes from clone warriors | :25:41. | :25:49. | |
to cybernetic armies. But it was the introduction in only the second | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
story of the most heinous, demotic mutants that made it and them | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
famous. The Daleks. Exterminate, exterminate. | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
The doctor has survived the Daleks so far and as they say what doesn't | :26:07. | :26:16. | |
kill you makes you stronger. Doctor Who had become an appointment to | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
view, TV must see. But if you had to give just one reason for the show's | :26:24. | :26:33. | |
lasting success it would be this. DOCTOR WHO MUSIC. To make the doctor | :26:34. | :26:46. | |
capable of reincarnation was a brilliant idea. It allowed the music | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
-- it allowed that showed to stay fresh and the character to develop. | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
Each new doctor had a different personality and tastes but some | :26:56. | :26:57. | |
characteristics have always date the same. He's essentially an upper | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
middle-class English eccentric, an intellectual bohemian and on the | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
whole and in the UCI stick optimist. He is part mad Professor, part | :27:07. | :27:08. | |
intergalactic crime-fighter. In 1989 the Doctor Who brand had | :27:09. | :27:20. | |
grown tired. Audiences were falling and enthusiasm within the BBC was | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
waning. A fictional series about the future was beginning to feel a | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
little old-fashioned. The show was closed. But then, in 2005, under the | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
creative direction of scriptwriter Russell T Davies the Whoniverse was | :27:35. | :27:43. | |
bought back to life. The trip of a lifetime. | :27:44. | :27:50. | |
Oh, lovely. Doctor Who is remarkable and not just because it is the | :27:51. | :27:58. | |
longest running sci-fi show in history. Academics have discussed | :27:59. | :28:05. | |
philosophical issues arising from it. The programme has been the | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
inspiration for books, films and even electronic music. It is a | :28:10. | :28:15. | |
children's programme that became a cult hit, which turned into a global | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
brand and perhaps one of the most culturally significant programmes to | :28:20. | :28:20. | |
have been made. There you go, time now for a look at | :28:21. | :28:35. | |
the weather. It is a good day to rake up the | :28:36. | :28:45. | |
leaves in the garden. Plenty of sunshine out there. It is dry with | :28:46. | :28:49. | |
light winds. Albeit rather chilly. It was a cold start across northern | :28:50. | :28:53. | |
parts of the UK this morning. However, if you look at the | :28:54. | :28:56. | |
satellite picture you can see how much sunshine there is but not all | :28:57. | :29:00. | |
areas are dry. There are patches of showers across the north-east of | :29:01. | :29:03. | |
England and still running across the far south-east of England, seeing | :29:04. | :29:06. | |
some showers clipping eastern Kent. Thicker cloud across the North of | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
Scotland. One or two showers peppering the north coast. Miles, | :29:12. | :29:14. | |
with westerly breeze. For central, southern Scotland it is cold but | :29:15. | :29:18. | |
lots of sunshine as there will be across north-west England. The | :29:19. | :29:23. | |
showers continuing effect -- continuing to affect the north-east | :29:24. | :29:26. | |
corner of England and eastern Kent. Further west it is a lovely fine | :29:27. | :29:30. | |
picture, especially across the south-west of England. Temperatures | :29:31. | :29:35. | |
around seven or eight Celsius. For Wales, a lovely afternoon but | :29:36. | :29:37. | |
thicker cloud across the west of Wales, one or two showers peppering | :29:38. | :29:42. | |
the western fringes, some showers running through the Irish Sea. A | :29:43. | :29:45. | |
lovely Isle of Dogs -- afternoon for the Isle of Man and Northern | :29:46. | :29:50. | |
Ireland, temperatures of around six Celsius for Belfast. This evening | :29:51. | :29:53. | |
temperatures fall quickly across Northern Ireland and central | :29:54. | :29:56. | |
southern Scotland and northern England. Avail of cloud will move | :29:57. | :29:59. | |
south. It will not be quite as cold as last night. Still the sub-zero | :30:00. | :30:05. | |
temperatures, where we get frost through England and Wales we could | :30:06. | :30:09. | |
seek patches of fog. Some could be dense for a while. On Saturday and | :30:10. | :30:15. | |
area of high pressure begins to push in slowly eastwards. It gives a run | :30:16. | :30:19. | |
of light northerly winds, some moisture in the air so it will feed | :30:20. | :30:22. | |
in a fair amount of cloud. This is the picture for Saturday. The | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
northern half of the country rather cloudy, spits and spots of rain for | :30:27. | :30:30. | |
the north-west corner of Scotland but south-east Scotland, much of | :30:31. | :30:33. | |
Wales and the Midlands and southern England, not too bad with spells of | :30:34. | :30:37. | |
sunshine, patchy cloud coming and going and temperatures two - eight | :30:38. | :30:42. | |
Celsius. We have two semifinal rugby League Cup matches going on at | :30:43. | :30:46. | |
Wembley on Saturday. Good, fine conditions but quite cool for the | :30:47. | :30:50. | |
spectators. Sunday is looking cloudier particularly for the | :30:51. | :30:54. | |
northern half of the country. Spots of rain across the north and east. | :30:55. | :30:58. | |
With shelter, southern Wales and south-west of England have the best | :30:59. | :31:01. | |
with the sunshine. Temperatures in single figures. It stays on the | :31:02. | :31:06. | |
chilly side for the weekend, rather cloudy particularly on Sunday but at | :31:07. | :31:09. | |
least for most it should be mainly dry. A settled weekend to come. | :31:10. | :31:15. | |
The top stories. A former chairman of the corporatist bang Paul Flowers | :31:16. | :31:20. | |
is arrested by police investigating the supply of illegal drugs and | :31:21. | :31:25. | |
Scotland Yard say a couple arrested in connection with allegations of | :31:26. | :31:28. | |
domestic slavery in south London have previously been arrested in the | :31:29. | :31:32. | |
1970s. That is all from us | :31:33. | :31:33. |
