The United Nations launches its biggest ever appeal to help the | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
people of Syria. In desperate need of food, shelter and medicine, the | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
UN is warning that nearly three quarters of the population will need | :00:13. | :00:21. | |
aid. Why has the world abandoned us? That's how Syrians who have fled as | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
refugees feel. We'll be live from a refugee camp on the Syrian border | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
where conditions are worsening. Also this lunchtime. The Deputy Prime | :00:31. | :00:34. | |

One. The UN has launched its biggest ever appeal for global aid. Most of | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
the money will go to the victims of the Syrian civil war. The aim is to | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
help more than nine million Syrians who are in need of help inside | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
Syria, and more than two million refugees, half of them children, who | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
have fled to Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and Iraq. Our Middle East | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
correspondent Jim Muir is at the Lebanese border town of Arsal, home | :01:47. | :01:57. | |
to more than 40,000 refugees. That's right. It's bitterly cold | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
here. The sun is just going down. It warms up a little bit during the | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
days that the children are still shivering and now the sun is going | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
so they face yet another night of subzero temperatures. It all adds up | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
to a massive challenge to the international community. Let's look | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
at this report on the latest tuition. Children play in the snow | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
here as they do all over the world. But life is tough at Arsal. On high | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
ground, very close to the Syrian border. This is the only official | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
tented camp the authorities have allowed to be set up. With subzero | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
temperatures at night, leaving one is a desperate need. My husband is | :02:36. | :02:43. | |
sick, she says. The cold is making a fall ill from fumes from the stove | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
was overwhelmed by the scale of the challenge, the UN and aid agencies | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
have launched the world 's biggest ever appeal. They are asking for | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
$6.5 billion to help cope with the 2.3 million refugees who fled Syria | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
and more than 6 million others displaced internally. The bulk of | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
them children. It's a problem that's not going to go away. We are now | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
talking about 9.3 million people across the country in need. Over 6 | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
million people displaced. Many of them more than once. The figures are | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
so large that we have kind of lost sight of the fact that behind each | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
one of those numbers as a child, is a woman, is a man. The family, it's | :03:28. | :03:37. | |
a community. Refugees are still pouring out of Syria at a rate of | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
around 130,000 a month. It shows no sign of slowing. Leven on is taking | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
more than its share of the virgin. One in five people now in the | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
country is a Syrian refugee. Here and other neighbouring countries are | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
fears the influx of a destabilising effect the longer it goes on. And | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
some of the more vulnerable refugees really resettling elsewhere. People | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
who cannot be helped just with money, they are vulnerable because | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
they are disabled, because they have illnesses. They don't have the money | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
to get adequate care. There is no system to allow them to get care | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
like they get in the UK and anything you can do is to take them somewhere | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
where they can get their the effort to help the needy Syrians are | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
solidly messy. It broke new ground now with direct aid flights going | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
into the cage themselves north-east of the country for Northern Rock for | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
the first time. But much more is still needed to cope with the | :04:38. | :04:45. | |
disaster that is growing every day. Indeed, that is felt here, the fact | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
that it's growing every day because every single day just across the | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
border we can see from here more refugees come on in. And, for a town | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
like Arsal, to give you an idea of the impact it has, the population of | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
the town itself, the original population is 35,000 but there are | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
65,000 Syrian refugees here now so almost double the number of the | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
actual original population. So that gives you some idea on this | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
microlevel here of the impact this refugee disaster was having four | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
neighbours like Lebanon. Like you said in your report, the challenge | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
is enormous and there is no end in sight, is there? | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
That is really what is unsettling. It's not as though the people here | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
can say, oh well, we will stick it out for a couple of months and then | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
we can go home. There was no end in sight. As you know, there's an | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
international conference call for the 22nd of January in Geneva. But | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
it's not even sure that's going to go ahead and that chances of it | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
being successful swiftly are very slight indeed because the Syrian | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
government seems to think it is winning. It is pushing forward for | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
the rebels are holding their ground as well as they can and fighting | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
back. But they are in total disarray politically. There is no coherent | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
opposition force that can go to Geneva and negotiate forcefully on | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
behalf of the opposition because the forces on the ground have largely | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
been taken over by Islamists factions who don't want to talk to | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
the regime and who want to set up and Islamic state which is not at | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
all the Western agenda, so it is a massive dilemma there. There is no | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
clear solution in sight. And, of course, as long as the political | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
deadlock per se persists, people here are living a provisional life | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
which may well continue possibly even the years to come. | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
Jim York, on the Lebanese and Syrian border, thank you very much. It's | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
not just those who have fled Syria that the UN wants to help. It says | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
half the Syrian population are in urgent need of food, water and | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
medical aid. Our chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet reports | :06:47. | :06:55. | |
from the Syrian capital Damascus. Syrians are queueing patiently in | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
the bitter cold here in the centre of Damascus. All of the Syrians have | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
had to flee their homes because of the fighting and some of them tell | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
us they have been displaced for more than one year. The men don't have | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
jobs, the women are worried about their children who don't have warm | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
clothing as a harsh winter sets in. They are having to rely on the | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
United Nations world food programme for essential items like cooking | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
oil, rice and lentils to feed their families in the coming months. I | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
have come here to speak to the country director for the world food | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
programme, Matthew Hollingworth. These are families today that a year | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
or two years ago would have been living a pretty good life, employed, | :07:35. | :07:43. | |
and doing well. Now, today, they have been made homeless once, twice | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
three times, which is why they now rely on support from organisations | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
like the world food programme to give them the basic food needs for | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
their families each month. So this is the human cost of the war. We | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
believe 6.3 million people are food insecure and desperately in need of | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
assistance from agencies such as ours each month. We're working with | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
27 local charities but the Syrian Arab Red Cross and the number of | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
international organisations, to reach these people each month. But | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
we know it's frequently not enough. People don't have enough food, they | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
don't eat frequently enough and when they do, they are eating food which | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
is not of the quality that gives them everything they need to | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
survive. The Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg says an annual cap of | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
75,000 on EU migrants coming to work in Britain would be illegal and | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
undeliverable. The Home Secretary Theresa May has refused to comment | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
on reports that a review by her department has proposed the | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
immigration limit. Let's get more from our chief political | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
correspondent Norman Smith. He is in Westminster. No confirmation of the | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
support for the support of adapted by ministers of the come out and | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
attack them. How serious is this? Sophie, it's various and perhaps not | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
so serious. It is serious because the government is already involved | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
in a bust up with a European Commissioner, the son of Mr | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
Cameron's thinking on trying to change the rules on free movement | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
and travel within the EU, with the commission saying that is a | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
non-negotiable if you want to stay in the European Union. Now, we have | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
a Deputy Prime Minister weighing in as well, saying that they are | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
undeliverable and illegal, such ideas, warning it could result in | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
tit-for-tat retaliation against Brits working abroad for that they | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
could profoundly damage the city because of its reliance on foreign | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
workers. But maybe not so serious because none of this is likely to | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
happen any time soon and certainly not before January first. Then, many | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
remain in some Bulgarians are expected to come to Britain when | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
restrictions are removed on them. What is going on, I think, Mr | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
Cameron and the government and the Conservatives are trying to put down | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
a rhetorical marker to show how serious they take people 's concerns | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
over the imminent arrival of Romanian and Bulgarian and if that | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
involves a little light sparring with Mr Clegg and the European | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
Commission, then so be it. Norman, thank you very much. Tougher | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
sanctions to tackle modern day slavery and human trafficking have | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
been published. It's estimated that there are 10,000 victims of slavery | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
in the UK. The Modern Slavery Bill proposes increasing the maximum | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
sentence for offenders, from 14 years to life imprisonment. Our home | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
affairs correspondent Tom Symonds reports. A complex investigation | :10:29. | :10:37. | |
ends with a bang. Cambridgeshire police caught up with a gang alleged | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
to have been exploiting farm workers from Lithuania and Latvia. Slavery | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
could be loosely defined as forced labour. And the Home Secretary has | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
made of a government priority. Today she publishes the modern-day slavery | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
Bill which brings together several existing pieces of legislation. It | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
allows for a possible maximum life sentence in the worst cases. New | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
orders to limit the activities of those convicted of slavery. And a | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
new slavery Commissioner to coordinate the response to the | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
problem. Modern slavery is an absolutely horrendous crime and are | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
too many victims in the UK. What this bill is doing is enabling us to | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
get tough on the slave drivers and the perpetrators of these crimes. | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
Critics of this bill say it should have included specific measures to | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
help children caught up in slavery and trafficking. Labour and many of | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
the organisations involved in this debate once designated guardians who | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
would work with young people to help them escape the cruelty they have | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
experienced and build new lives. The former Labour minister Frank Field | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
examine the evidence for the government. His conclusion. We | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
should change our attitude to victims because it's crucial that we | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
actually step over the line and help those on the receiving end of modern | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
slavery. And we do that by, for example, making sure the care that | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
we give them is first rate. And the government wants prosecutions. | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
Police officers who fight slavery and trafficking no one can be hard | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
to define, let alone detect. It's a largely hidden problem for every | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
victim rescued, like these, women trafficked for sex in the Midlands, | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
an estimated nine go undiscovered and it's often the victims who make | :12:28. | :12:35. | |
the best witnesses. Should always be illegal to help someone to die? The | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
Supreme Court has begun hearing arguments about whether a doctor | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
should be allowed to help someone kill themselves. The latest round of | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
the legal battle involves the family of the late Tony Nicklinson who had | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
locked-in syndrome, and Paul Lamb from Leeds, who's been paralysed | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
since a road crash. Our Legal Correspondent Clive Coleman reports. | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
For more than two decades, Paul Lamb has suffered chronic pain having | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
been power lies from the neck down in a car accident. He needs help of | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
almost everything, having just minimal use of one hand. This was | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
him as a young active man. Now he wants the doctor to assist in to | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
die. At a time of his choosing. He is taking of the legal battle fought | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
by the late Tony Nicklinson, who died last year, just days after his | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
bid to change the law failed. Now he is taking the challenge to the | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
highest court in the land. To get the change in the law would be... It | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
would be... Give me the peace of mind I need, as and when I want to | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
take my life, the law is on my side when nobody can get prosecuted. In | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
July, the Court of Appeal said only Parliament which it said represented | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
the conscience of the nation, on issues of life and death, could | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
change the law and that judges, however eminent, couldn't. Well, | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
today, Paul Lamb is going to ask nine of the most senior judges hear | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
the Supreme Court to do just that. To change the law on assisted | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
suicide so that a doctor can assist the patient to end their life. But | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
any change to the law on assisted suicide is opposed by many. A change | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
in the law would be a recipe for the exploitation and abuse of elderly | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
and disabled people who would feel under pressure to end their lives so | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
as not to be a financial and emotional burden. It would also put | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
pressure on relatives and doctors. And this is the very last thing we | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
need. The court will also consider the case of a man known only as | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
Martin. He once current guidance which said Lublin acting | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
compassionately the two assist suicide are unlikely to be | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
prosecuted to include medical professionals. Cases like Martin and | :14:51. | :14:58. | |
Paul Lamb raise some of the most profound moral, ethical and legal | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
issues imaginable. The Supreme Court's decision is eagerly awaited | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
by those both for and against a change to the law. | :15:07. | :15:15. | |
A police of us are accused of falsely claiming to have witnessed a | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
row at the gates of Downing Street has been charged with misconduct in | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
public office. PC Wallace said he saw what happened in Downing Street | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
when Andrew Mitchell became involved in a dispute with a police officer. | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
Mr Mitchell has always denied using the word pleb. | :15:33. | :15:42. | |
A woman who worked as an account assistant for a Charles Saatchi says | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
she is committing career suicide by speaking out. She told the court | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
that somebody needs to speak up because most people are too scared | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
to. She was giving evidence at the trial of two former PAs accused of | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
defrauding Nigella Lawson and her ex-husband, Charles Saatchi. Tell us | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
more about what was said in court. This woman worked for the Saatchis | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
for about 4.5 years. The relationship broke down and she was | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
accused of stealing from petty cash and taking taxes home without | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
authorisation. She was asked to terminate her agreement and she was | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
asked what the consequences would be if she did not. She said, if I did | :16:23. | :16:31. | |
not sign, the consequence would be she would accused of fraud. She said | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
she was not speaking out in defence of her sister. She said, I have | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
everything to lose and nothing to gain. I am committing career | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
suicide. She said, other former employees were too scared to come | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
forward and she was worried about, at four. By Jessica Grillo has been | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
giving evidence, talking about starting at six o'clock in the | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
morning and waiting until very late. She said she had a loving | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
relationship with Nigella and Charles. | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
The UN launches its biggest ever appealed to help Syria. It wants ?8 | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
billion to give food, shelter and medicine to people inside the | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
country and in refugee camps. England's cricketers are on the | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
verge of a humiliating defeat in Australia. | :17:30. | :17:30. | |

It was the worst mining disaster in Wales in recent times. Four men died | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
in September 2011 after they were trapped 300 feet below ground after | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
an explosion. The place where they were working quickly flooded with | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
water. The man who owned the colliery where they worked denied | :18:13. | :18:22. | |
charges of manslaughter. The coffin either work for also denied | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
corporate manslaughter. Moving tonnes of silt and rock by hand, | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
rescue teams worked for over 24 hours to try and reach the four men | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
killed. Gary Jenkins, Philip Hill, David | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
Powell and Charles Breslin were all experienced miners. They became | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
trapped in the flood 90 metres underground. Malcolm Fyfield was | :18:46. | :18:55. | |
also in the mind that day. Today he appeared in court to deny | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
responsibility for the deaths through gross negligence. | :18:59. | :19:06. | |
Accompanied's directors appear to deny corporate manslaughter. Members | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
of the victims Pae families were in court. For the last two years, they | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
have followed every step of the case as a way to learn what happened to | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
their loved ones. The colliery was a small drift mine. It's removed | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
location made it difficult for rescue teams to reach. Through the | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
night and into the next day, the miners' families waited for news in | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
a community centre until the police finally confirmed that four dead | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
bodies had been recovered. There is now a permanent memorial to the men | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
and more than ?1 million has been raced to help the families. Their | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
thoughts when I turned to preparing for a trial which is due to begin in | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
March. At 22-year-old man has been remanded | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
in custody after being charged with murdering the missing Oxfordshire | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
teenager, Hayden Parkinson. Police are still searching for a | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
17-year-old Jayden, who was last seen at Didcot Parkway railway | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
station on 3rd December. Ben Blakeley was additionally charged | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
with perverting the court of justice -- course of justice. Ben Blakeley | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
was Jayden's boyfriend, said police. He appeared in court today and he is | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
accused of disposing of her body and lying to police about when he last | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
saw her. A second man has also been charged in connection with this | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
murder. It is a 17 you old man from Didcot, charged with assisting an | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
offender. He will appear here at Oxford Magistrates' Court this | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
afternoon. Jayden disappeared 13 days ago. What began as a missing | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
persons investigation turned into a murder enquiry but the spiked | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
expensive -- despite extensive searching, police have not found the | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
body. The BBC has been criticised by MPs over payoffs to senior | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
managers. They have accused the BBC of | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
cronyism and failing in its studio to protect public money. A report by | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
the Commons Public Accounts Committee says the large payoffs | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
revealed a system of oversight which was dysfunctional and broken. In | :21:14. | :21:22. | |
July, it emerged the BBC paid ?25 million to outgoing executives. | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
Since then, the corporation has wrought in a cap on severance pay. | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
Tottenham Hotspur have sacked their manager, Andre Vilas Boaz, day after | :21:30. | :21:38. | |
they were 5-0 at home by Liverpool. He has been under pressure since | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
Spurs lost last month. In the 18 month he has been there he has spent | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
?100 billion on players. The booing that echoed around White | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
Hart Lane yesterday afternoon said it all. The manager's fate hung in | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
the balance following just one win in six home games, this 5-0 drubbing | :22:01. | :22:08. | |
to Liverpool was the breaking point. Afterwards he insisted he could hold | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
onto his job. I am not going to resign and I am not a quitter. The | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
only thing I could do with is get the players on track. Today, | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
Tottenham Hotspur released a statement saying... | :22:23. | :22:41. | |
The decision is for a rapid rise and fall for Andre Villas-Boas. He | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
achieved great success in Portugal before moving to Chelsea in 2011. | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
After a poor run of form and reported disagreements with senior | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
players, he was dismissed by the West London club in early 2012. He | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
joined Tottenham and early this year, after Gareth Bale was sold for | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
a record fee, he went on a spending spree on new players. Results were | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
not just expected, they were demanded by the board and fans. | :23:06. | :23:16. | |
Tottenham Hotspur should now appoint a new manager, with speculation that | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
Fabio Capello could take over. Is now left to ponder how it could all | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
have gone so wrong. -- is now left. Yorkshire is doing | :23:28. | :23:37. | |
rather well in films at the moment. It is the setting for some of the | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
highest profile television programmes this Christmas, including | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
the Great Train Robbery and Death Comes To Pemberley. Production | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
cabinets are spending millions pounds in Yorkshire. | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
Certain parts of Yorkshire have been used in films for years. This is how | :23:55. | :24:02. | |
Earth -- Bronte country. This is home to the line and location in the | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
Railway children. It has also been used recently for filming a more | :24:10. | :24:16. | |
modern railway story. In 125 years no one has thought of knocking it | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
off? That is the beauty, none. No police, no security. One of the | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
biggest challenges was finding the right railway location. They came | :24:27. | :24:38. | |
here, and it is one of several locations used for the production | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
here in Yorkshire. But it was not as easy as it looked. | :24:43. | :24:51. | |
Trying to rekey it -- recreate the West Coast Main Line in August | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
during a snowy April was the biggest challenge I shall ever faced in my | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
life. 40 miles away in North Yorkshire, another production is | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
underway. Set in Napoleonic times, this stately home has been turned | :25:06. | :25:15. | |
into the set of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. Set in Yorkshire, it | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
seemed like the right place to make it. It has got everything. It has | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
got fantastic landscapes and everything you would want to see. | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
Yorkshire is doubling for Venice and Italy and all sorts of places. This | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
isn't the place to film just because of the scenery and the people, it is | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
about money. Drama is very expensive to produce, so when you have an | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
investment fund like the Yorkshire Content Fund, that attracts | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
producers. If you can match that funding with good locations and a | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
good crew, you have got a strong reason to come here. 20 productions | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
are underway or planned for next year. The Christmas Showcase is Mr | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
Darcy and the Bennetts returning in Death Comes To Pemberley, shot on | :26:11. | :26:18. | |
location in the county. And it all brings jobs and money to | :26:19. | :26:26. | |
the region. Jess, the hair stylist and Eugene, the extra, are both | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
based in the area. It means an industry in the North of England is | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
drawing people who once thought the industry was based in the south. The | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
actress, Joan Fontaine, who starred in several Hollywood films in the | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
40s and 50s, has died at the age of 96. | :26:47. | :26:47. | |
Among her best-known films work Alfred Hitchcock was Mike Rebecca | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
and Suspicion, for which she won an Oscar. -- Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca | :26:53. | :27:05. | |
will stop she shared her reverie with her sister, Olivia De | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
Havilland. Australia seemed poised to regain the Ashes with two games | :27:09. | :27:10. | |
to spare. At the end of the fourth day of the | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
third test England are on 251-5, 252 runs behind. | :27:16. | :27:23. | |
The Ashes, the most precious prize in cricket. They are not supposed to | :27:24. | :27:30. | |
be handed over cheaply. Anyone can buy a replica. Winning the real | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
thing should take everything you have got. In past it was a help | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
yourself morning. That is Graeme Swann, with over 250 test wickets, | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
hit 452 in an over. Shane Watson raced to a century. And Anderson was | :27:43. | :27:50. | |
head for 28 in an over by George Bailey. It equalled the Test record. | :27:51. | :27:58. | |
Australia were ruthless. They stopped battling with a lead of over | :27:59. | :28:04. | |
500, again. For England, things can always get worse. Alastair Cook's | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
first ball, as good as any he has faced. So, what was left for | :28:09. | :28:15. | |
England? They had to dig deep for pride. Three wickets down, Kevin | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
Pietersen on the attack. The trouble is, this is what came next - | :28:20. | :28:28. | |
Pietersen on 45. These days, the Australians do not dropped catches. | :28:29. | :28:31. | |
There must be something in the future? Step up Ben Stokes. In just | :28:32. | :28:36. | |
his second Test match, taking on the bowling. Ian Bell was the | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
outstanding batsmen of the last Ashes, nothing like that in this | :28:41. | :28:42. | |
series. Until this flash of defiance. Ian Bell on 60 had this | :28:43. | :28:57. | |
overturned. Stokes played the senior role, striding for others had | :28:58. | :29:02. | |
stumbled. English batting in general has been grim this series. Australia | :29:03. | :29:07. | |
have been fantastic in all departments. They have batted, | :29:08. | :29:11. | |
caught and bowled better than us and that is what cricket is about. 253 | :29:12. | :29:20. | |
more runs to win. But maybe purely theoretical. It feels like England | :29:21. | :29:23. | |
have delayed the inevitable as we go into the fifth day. | :29:24. | :29:28. | |
What a dreary start for many of us to our mandate. We have seen | :29:29. | :29:36. | |
outbreaks of rain pushing down from the north-west in a southeasterly | :29:37. | :29:41. | |
direction. We have also got sharp showers through Scotland and | :29:42. | :29:44. | |
Northern Ireland. If we look at the satellite picture, sandwich between | :29:45. | :29:47. | |
the two you can see breaks in the cloud. Hopefully something a little | :29:48. | :29:50. | |
bit brighter for one or two of us for the rest of the afternoon. We | :29:51. | :29:54. | |
still have the potential for rain across the south-east. It is going | :29:55. | :30:01. | |
to be nuisance, I suspect. But there should be a bright afternoon with a | :30:02. | :30:04. | |
cluster of showers across Northern Ireland and Scotland. There is the | :30:05. | :30:08. | |
potential for some hailstones and maybe some thunder, and yes, snow to | :30:09. | :30:12. | |
the tops of the mountains. A cool afternoon, but some brightness | :30:13. | :30:17. | |
across the North a figment and North Wales. It will dry up through the | :30:18. | :30:22. | |
south-west but staying damp and jury. There is more rain to return | :30:23. | :30:27. | |
later this evening. There is rain across the south-east corner. It is | :30:28. | :30:30. | |
mild for the time of year, but perhaps that is not what you want to | :30:31. | :30:34. | |
hear with temperatures around 13 or 14 degrees. The rain will be a | :30:35. | :30:38. | |
nuisance for the early evening rush. Persistent rain anywhere from the M4 | :30:39. | :30:45. | |
corridor to East Anglia. It'll be grey and wet through the evening and | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
overnight. Clearer skies overnight mean the temperatures will fall | :30:49. | :30:51. | |
away. We could see some pockets of frost forming as well. Also, some | :30:52. | :30:57. | |
fog. Some showers to the extreme north and west. A cold night to come | :30:58. | :31:01. | |
with temperatures around five degrees. Some of the fog may will | :31:02. | :31:09. | |
linger into the day but generally, Tuesday will be a better day, | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
perhaps the best of the week. Make the most of it if you cancel top | :31:14. | :31:17. | |
largely fine and dry, just the potential for a little rain across | :31:18. | :31:20. | |
the Kent coast and a cooler field to things with highs of around six to | :31:21. | :31:25. | |
nine degrees. On Wednesday things turned decidedly unsettled stop an | :31:26. | :31:31. | |
area of low pressure pushes in and wet and windy weather arrives. | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
Myler, yes, because the winds are southerly body will be grey, wet and | :31:36. | :31:41. | |
windy. The wind could strengthen to severe gales do the latter stages of | :31:42. | :31:47. | |
Wednesday into Thursday. That will push the rain through sharply. It | :31:48. | :31:53. | |
could be pretty unsettled at the end of the week, often wet and often | :31:54. | :31:59. | |
windy. Please watch the forecast for the end of the week. | :32:00. | :32:00. |
