:01:43. > :01:45.the local community. We will also have a special report on the
:01:46. > :02:02.disturbing past of one of the men involved.
:02:03. > :02:09.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News that one. Two men have been
:02:10. > :02:12.found guilty of the brutal murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby near Woolwich
:02:13. > :02:16.Barracks in May. Michael Adebowale to and Michael Adebowale had both
:02:17. > :02:20.denied the charges, claiming they were soldiers of Allah. But in the
:02:21. > :02:24.last few minutes a jury has found them guilty of his murder. Let's
:02:25. > :02:30.cross to the Old Bailey and our correspondent, June Kelly.
:02:31. > :02:35.The barbarity of this crime caused revulsion of -- across the country.
:02:36. > :02:39.These men described themselves as soldiers of Allah and said Lee
:02:40. > :02:43.Rigby's killing was an act of war. For his family, they have had to
:02:44. > :02:46.endure days of terrible evidence. A warning to viewers, this report does
:02:47. > :02:51.contain some of that distressing material.
:02:52. > :02:55.The reason we have killed this man today is because Muslims are dying
:02:56. > :03:01.daily by British soldiers and this British soldier is an eye for an
:03:02. > :03:03.eye, tooth for a too. He had just butchered a British soldier by
:03:04. > :03:10.trying to behead him in broad daylight on a London street. Michael
:03:11. > :03:13.Adebolajo, on the left, and his killer, Michael Adebowale, has now
:03:14. > :03:18.been convicted of murder. Their victim, Lee Rigby, in a Help for
:03:19. > :03:23.Heroes top, was on his way back to his barracks when he was killed. The
:03:24. > :03:26.men targeted him because he was carrying a military rucksack. As he
:03:27. > :03:29.crossed the road close to the barracks in Woolwich they drove
:03:30. > :03:34.their car at him. The jury saw footage of him being thrown into the
:03:35. > :03:39.air. Adebolajo then tried to decapitate Fusilier Rigby, striking
:03:40. > :03:45.his neck repeatedly with a meat cleaver. While Adebowale used a
:03:46. > :03:49.knife to cut at his body. And all this being watched by members of the
:03:50. > :03:53.public. The men dragged the soldier's body into the middle of
:03:54. > :03:58.the road. Ingrid Loyau-Kennett was among those who tried to help Lee
:03:59. > :04:03.Rigby. I heard a voice saying, don't touch the body. That is when I
:04:04. > :04:08.lifted my head and I saw straight at eye level two hands, one carrying
:04:09. > :04:13.two bloodied hands, one carrying the meat cleaver is on the butcher's
:04:14. > :04:17.knife and the other one having a revolver. One of the suspects pulled
:04:18. > :04:20.a handgun out from behind the back of his trousers. As I was on the
:04:21. > :04:24.phone to the police standing outside my garage a bunch of school kids
:04:25. > :04:28.came out of that alleyway there and I shouted at them, get the kids in
:04:29. > :04:32.the school because there is a bloke up there with a handgun. With his
:04:33. > :04:37.hands soaked in the soldier's blood, Michael Adebolajo began
:04:38. > :04:41.delivering his message. You people will never be safe. Your government
:04:42. > :04:45.don't care about you. He and Adebowale then waited for firearms
:04:46. > :04:51.officers to arrive. The plan was to martyr themselves by dying in a hail
:04:52. > :04:55.of bullets. The first Michael was walking up and down with the meat
:04:56. > :04:58.cleaver is and as soon as they heard the police car come around the
:04:59. > :05:01.corner, they didn't even get chance to come out of the car, he ran at
:05:02. > :05:07.them with the meat cleaver is and they had to shoot him. They have no
:05:08. > :05:11.choice. You can see Adebolajo go down as a police marksman opened
:05:12. > :05:16.fire. Officers then surrounded Adebowale. In one hand his revolver
:05:17. > :05:20.raised at them, in the other, a knife. He too was shot. After
:05:21. > :05:27.ensuring the attackers were no longer a threat the police began
:05:28. > :05:29.giving them both first aid. In police interviews Adebolajo
:05:30. > :05:36.describes how the men had selected their victim. Baleen is -- between
:05:37. > :05:49.us we decided that the soldier is the most target because he joins the
:05:50. > :05:54.army is kind of an understanding that the life is at risk when you
:05:55. > :05:58.joined the Army -- the most fair target. Since the 77 attacks most
:05:59. > :06:01.obvious limit spots in the UK five involved a number of people and the
:06:02. > :06:05.use of explosives. What happened here was far less sophisticated.
:06:06. > :06:11.Minimal planning, so the authorities were not alerted, and easy to carry
:06:12. > :06:16.out. Lee Rigby 25 when he was killed, had joined the Army as a
:06:17. > :06:21.teenager. This was him during a tour of Afghanistan. He returned from
:06:22. > :06:25.their safely to his family, only to lose his life in his home country.
:06:26. > :06:30.He was a real character in the second Fusiliers and is missed
:06:31. > :06:34.greatly. He was a true warrior, having served with distinction in
:06:35. > :06:40.Afghanistan. His life was ended in this way, a cruel tragedy. He has
:06:41. > :06:45.left a young son, Jack. One day he will learn how his father was
:06:46. > :06:50.murdered because he was a British soldier.
:06:51. > :06:54.Well, obviously for the family this whole trial process has been a
:06:55. > :06:57.terrible ordeal. They are not making any statement outside the Old Bailey
:06:58. > :07:01.today, but we have just had a statement on their behalf. They say
:07:02. > :07:06.they welcome the verdict, they say they are very proud of Lee and they
:07:07. > :07:11.now want to be left in peace. Now, the jury took less than an hour and
:07:12. > :07:16.a half to return their verdicts. Guilty obviously of murder of Lee
:07:17. > :07:21.Rigby but they found both men not guilty of the attempted murder of a
:07:22. > :07:26.police officer. Now, in terms of sentencing that will not happen
:07:27. > :07:28.today. That will take place in the New Year.
:07:29. > :07:32.June Kelly at the Old Bailey, thank you very much. As June was saying it
:07:33. > :07:36.has been a traumatic trial for Lee Rigby's family, who have often been
:07:37. > :07:41.seen leaving court in tears. In an exclusive interview with panorama,
:07:42. > :07:45.Lee Rigby's parents talked to Peter Taylor and paid tribute to their
:07:46. > :07:51.son. He did numerous things. He went to college on a pre-training
:07:52. > :07:55.course. Everything leading up to going into the army. Anything he
:07:56. > :07:59.could do that would give him some clue or inkling over what the army
:08:00. > :08:07.would be about because it is really something he always had a craving to
:08:08. > :08:11.do. He was so determined. Were you worried about him when he was in
:08:12. > :08:17.Afghanistan? Yes, very. It was every time the phone rang or if there was
:08:18. > :08:23.a knock on the door, you know, that sort was always in your head. --
:08:24. > :08:28.that thought was always in your head. Lee, whenever anything
:08:29. > :08:35.happened in Afghanistan, even not killed, just hurt, he would phone
:08:36. > :08:39.home immediately, he knew anything about it, just to put our mind at
:08:40. > :08:44.ease. The first thing he always did. It is not me, ma'am, I am safe, you
:08:45. > :08:49.know. It was afternoon, tea-time, I had gone to work. The tips came on
:08:50. > :08:58.the telly of it going on. I go into work and are screens that we have in
:08:59. > :09:07.work and it was on. The TV, in the canteen, yes, I actually sat there
:09:08. > :09:14.and watched it, watched it all. I was just going up to bed, I had just
:09:15. > :09:19.put the light out in the hallway was going into the bedroom and obviously
:09:20. > :09:26.there was a knock on the door. So I go to the window and there was four,
:09:27. > :09:35.you know, four gentleman stood there and I knew then why they were here.
:09:36. > :09:41.I would not wish anybody, whoever they are, to go through the same
:09:42. > :09:45.pain of what they put Lee through, what they have put the family
:09:46. > :09:55.through, having to sit and watch what they did to hourly. What did
:09:56. > :10:01.Leeds die for? Lee died serving his country, doing what he believed in,
:10:02. > :10:09.serving the country to preserve our way of life of freedom of speech and
:10:10. > :10:17.the opportunity to be able to what -- to be able to walk the streets in
:10:18. > :10:21.peace and say what you feel, because that is what this whole country is
:10:22. > :10:26.all about. Lee Rigby's parents talking to Peter
:10:27. > :10:31.Taylor and you can see more of that interview on panorama on BBC One at
:10:32. > :10:38.10:35pm tonight. Ben Brown is outside the Royal Artillery Barracks
:10:39. > :10:42.in Woolwich, where Lee Rigby died. Yes, Sophie, this is the barracks
:10:43. > :10:47.where Lee Rigby was a 25-year-old drummer, a Fusiliers. He died just
:10:48. > :10:51.round the corner from here seven months ago. He was deliberately run
:10:52. > :10:55.down and then attacked with a meat cleaver and knives. Seven months on
:10:56. > :11:00.floral tributes are still being laid to Lee Rigby, wreaths and flowers in
:11:01. > :11:03.his memory. There were some reprisals against the Islamic
:11:04. > :11:08.community here in this part of London after his death and today we
:11:09. > :11:12.have had some reaction from Muslims in this part of London through the
:11:13. > :11:16.Greenwich Islamic Centre. They have just put out a statement saying they
:11:17. > :11:20.are relieved and delighted. They say justice has been served. They also
:11:21. > :11:25.say that they are against anybody who says that they should kill in
:11:26. > :11:29.the name of religion and they are urging the government to take
:11:30. > :11:34.stronger, tough action against those who preach messages of hate. But I
:11:35. > :11:37.think here in Woolwich there is some relief and pleasure today's
:11:38. > :11:41.verdict. Ben Brown, thank you very much. You
:11:42. > :11:44.can see more on that story throughout the afternoon on the BBC
:11:45. > :11:48.News Channel. The rest of the news now. A report into the UK's
:11:49. > :11:52.intelligence services says officers may have been an appropriate
:11:53. > :11:56.edge-macro inappropriately involved in cases of so-called extraordinary
:11:57. > :12:00.renditions. The findings also found officers were aware of inappropriate
:12:01. > :12:03.delegation techniques used on prisoners who were taken to a
:12:04. > :12:08.country where those practices are not illegal. Here is our security
:12:09. > :12:10.correspondent, Gordon Corera. Four years there have been
:12:11. > :12:15.allegations that British intelligence knew of or was involved
:12:16. > :12:17.in the mistreatment and torture of detainees including in their
:12:18. > :12:22.rendition or transferred to other countries. To find out what really
:12:23. > :12:27.happened on taking office the government announced an independent
:12:28. > :12:32.inquiry led by a judge. Today, Sir Peter Gibson released his initial
:12:33. > :12:35.findings based on examining 20,000 documents. 40 cases were
:12:36. > :12:43.investigated with serious issues uncovered. It does appear from the
:12:44. > :12:48.documents that the United Kingdom may have been inappropriately
:12:49. > :12:54.involved in some renditions, that is a very serious matter. No doubt any
:12:55. > :12:59.future enquiry would want to look at that. But the enquiry was stopped
:13:00. > :13:02.before it could talk to witnesses or finish because of what is believed
:13:03. > :13:05.to have happened in this Libyan prison. Documents were found
:13:06. > :13:09.suggesting that Britain had been involved in the rendition or
:13:10. > :13:14.transfer to Libya of this month Abdul Hakim Belhadj, who says he was
:13:15. > :13:19.tortured. A police investigation into MI6 meant the judge could not
:13:20. > :13:22.finish his work. Mr Kenneth Clarke. Today, the government announced the
:13:23. > :13:26.27 issues raised by Sir Peter Gibson's work would now be
:13:27. > :13:31.investigated by a Parliamentary Committee. The Prime Minister has
:13:32. > :13:33.discussed and agreed with the Intelligence and Security Committee
:13:34. > :13:38.of Parliament that they will enquiry into the themes and issues which Sir
:13:39. > :13:43.Peter has raised. They will take further evidence and they will
:13:44. > :13:49.report to the government and Parliament on the outcome of their
:13:50. > :13:53.enquiry. Critics to say this is a U-turn and the Intelligence and
:13:54. > :13:57.Security Committee will not get to the truth. When the allegations came
:13:58. > :14:00.out that the intelligence services were involved in rendition and
:14:01. > :14:04.torture the government promised that there would be an independent judge
:14:05. > :14:08.Les Munro -- judge led review of the situation. David Cameron promised it
:14:09. > :14:13.to Parliament, Ken Clarke promised it, Clegg promised it, William Hague
:14:14. > :14:17.promised it and now it is extremely disappointing because the IOC is not
:14:18. > :14:22.fit for purpose on this. The committee says it has more powers
:14:23. > :14:25.and done in the past to investigate but Sir Peter Gibson's work has
:14:26. > :14:30.raised serious questions for British intelligence and the ministers who
:14:31. > :14:33.have overseen it answer. It has been claimed for the first
:14:34. > :14:39.time that the Duchess of Cambridge was a victim of phone hacking. The
:14:40. > :14:41.Old Bailey has been hearing how staff at the News of the World
:14:42. > :14:45.hacked into the then Kate Middleton's voice mail and listened
:14:46. > :14:48.to messages from Prince William. In one he calls her babykins. In
:14:49. > :14:53.another he tells her how he got lost on a training exercise at Sandhurst
:14:54. > :14:57.and almost got shot by blank rounds. Let's speak to our correspondent at
:14:58. > :15:03.the Old Bailey, Clive Coleman. What more can you tell us? This is the
:15:04. > :15:07.first time the jury of nine Ben -- women and three men have been told
:15:08. > :15:11.that the mobile telephone of Kate Middleton, that messages left on it
:15:12. > :15:15.were intercepted. In one Prince William, they were then girlfriend
:15:16. > :15:20.and boyfriend, calls her by the affectionate pet name of babykins.
:15:21. > :15:24.In another he says, high, baby, it is me, sorry I have just got off my
:15:25. > :15:28.night navigation exercises. He says I have been running around the woods
:15:29. > :15:32.of Aldershot chasing shadows and getting terribly lost. He said, I
:15:33. > :15:35.walked into some of the regiment's ambush which was slightly
:15:36. > :15:40.embarrassing because I nearly got shot, not by live rounds but by
:15:41. > :15:44.blank rounds, which would be very embarrassing though. The jury were
:15:45. > :15:47.told that when that story was written up by the News of the World
:15:48. > :15:55.it was written up that Prince William had been shot by blank
:15:56. > :15:59.rounds. Briefly, we have also heard in court that Prince Harry's phone
:16:00. > :16:05.was hacked as well? We have. We were told a voice message was left on
:16:06. > :16:07.Prince Harry's voice mail messages from an unnamed male, who was
:16:08. > :16:15.impersonating his then girlfriend Chelsy Davy, for a joke. Now, when
:16:16. > :16:18.that was written up by the News of the World it was claimed that the
:16:19. > :16:21.unnamed male was in fact his brother, Prince William. And that
:16:22. > :16:27.Prince Harry had taken an ear-bashing. The jury were told
:16:28. > :16:30.there were references to the words "ginger" but when it was written up
:16:31. > :16:34.it was said the News of the World said that the person impersonating
:16:35. > :16:38.Chelsy Davy had said, I miss you so much, you big ginger. In the article
:16:39. > :16:43.it was said that Prince Harry have thought the whole thing was
:16:44. > :16:53.hilarious. Clive Bayley at the Old Bailey, thank you very much. Our top
:16:54. > :16:59.story. Two men are found guilty of the murder of Fuseli Lee Rigby.
:17:00. > :17:02.Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale have both denied the
:17:03. > :17:08.charges that they were soldiers of Allah. Later on BBC London, as two
:17:09. > :17:11.men are found guilty of murdering Lee Rigby, we will be live in
:17:12. > :17:16.Woolwich where we hear from local people about the impact on the
:17:17. > :17:24.area. As a man is jailed for raping two women, the Metropolitan Police
:17:25. > :17:28.admit it makes -- made mistakes. Police say the family of the missing
:17:29. > :17:32.teenager Jayden Parkinson are heartbroken and devastated after her
:17:33. > :17:36.body was found in a churchyard in Oxfordshire last night. A postmortem
:17:37. > :17:40.will now be carried out to determine how she died. The 17-year-old had
:17:41. > :17:45.not been seen since the 3rd of December. A 22-year-old ex-boyfriend
:17:46. > :17:46.appeared in court earlier this week charged with murder. Duncan Kennedy
:17:47. > :17:56.has this report. Steeling themselves for. Local
:17:57. > :18:00.people reacted by bringing flowers and their thoughts to the church
:18:01. > :18:03.where Jade and's body was found -- it was the news everybody here was
:18:04. > :18:09.steeling themselves for. One after the other they came to give and to
:18:10. > :18:14.reflect. Some new Jade, some did not. None could believe what had
:18:15. > :18:23.heard. She was a lovely girl. It is devastating. I just feel for her
:18:24. > :18:27.family and parents. Jayden Parkinson had been missing for just over two
:18:28. > :18:34.weeks. This morning police confirmed that their search for her was now
:18:35. > :18:38.over. We have prepared her family for the worst, but I'm afraid
:18:39. > :18:45.nothing can prepare you for the loss of your child. They remain
:18:46. > :18:54.heartbroken. They remain devastated. And our thoughts are with them at
:18:55. > :18:56.this time. On Monday, Ben Blakeley, her former boyfriend was charged
:18:57. > :19:01.with her murder and a 17-year-old boy was also charged with
:19:02. > :19:05.obstructing the enquiry. As the family absorbed news of the tragedy,
:19:06. > :19:08.the police say the forensic operation in the graveyard will now
:19:09. > :19:12.be wound down as they put in place their preparations for a trial that
:19:13. > :19:23.is most likely to take place sometime next year. The church where
:19:24. > :19:27.Jayden was found will conduct a spiritual service and offer support
:19:28. > :19:31.to her family. An independent enquiry into how a surgeon was able
:19:32. > :19:35.to continue using a controversial technique on women with breast
:19:36. > :19:39.cancer has revealed a catalogue of missed opportunities. Ian Pattison
:19:40. > :19:43.carried out cleavage baring mastectomies which leave behind
:19:44. > :19:47.potentially cancerous tissues for cosmetic reasons. Today the hospital
:19:48. > :19:50.apologised unreservedly and admitted that managers should have acted
:19:51. > :19:54.earlier to stop him. Dominic Hughes reports.
:19:55. > :19:59.This is Ian Pattison, or once a respected surgeon, now suspended by
:20:00. > :20:02.the General Medical Council and under investigation by the police.
:20:03. > :20:07.He under -- operated on one with suspected breast cancer and used a
:20:08. > :20:11.procedure known as a cleavage sparing mastectomy, and left behind
:20:12. > :20:15.some potentially cancerous tissue, exposing women to harm, and its use
:20:16. > :20:20.is not approved in the UK. Concerns were raised by colleagues in the
:20:21. > :20:24.heart of England trust in 2003, and in 2007, but he continued to operate
:20:25. > :20:26.until 2011. At the trust has received a damning report into how
:20:27. > :20:33.the surgeon was allowed to continue work -- now the trust. An
:20:34. > :20:40.ineffective board, weak leadership, staff reluctant to speak out. The
:20:41. > :20:42.priority of patients, not the highest priority. Those sorts of
:20:43. > :20:50.things. When that happens, patients suffer. Gayle was one of Ian
:20:51. > :20:53.Pattison's patients. In 1995 he told Gayle she had breast cancer, and
:20:54. > :20:58.last year she was informed the operation was unnecessary. She had
:20:59. > :21:02.never had cancer in the first place. He said I've got cancer, and you
:21:03. > :21:06.believe him. But the children said you have gone with a man who said he
:21:07. > :21:12.could save your life, and he has let us all down. This report tells a
:21:13. > :21:15.story that its author says is depressingly familiar, one of the
:21:16. > :21:18.collapse of culture where managers are more interested in protecting
:21:19. > :21:21.the reputation of an organisation rather than making sure their
:21:22. > :21:25.parents are safe from harm. This morning the trust, now under new
:21:26. > :21:30.management, apologised to patients and to staff, who for years had
:21:31. > :21:35.tried to raise concerns. I'm angry about what this doctor did. The fact
:21:36. > :21:39.he never got proper consent from his patients, the fact he did not keep
:21:40. > :21:42.proper record-keeping. And I am angry that the former leadership of
:21:43. > :21:47.this trust that had so many opportunities to stop this operation
:21:48. > :21:50.happening, but they didn't. Meanwhile hundreds of women are
:21:51. > :21:56.taking legal action and the police investigation into Ian Paterson
:21:57. > :22:02.continues. The jury in the trial of Nigella Lawson's to former
:22:03. > :22:05.assistance has been sent out to consider their first pics Elizabeth
:22:06. > :22:12.and Francesca Grillo are alleged to have spent ?685,000 on credit cards
:22:13. > :22:16.belonging to Nigella Lawson under husband, the art dealer, Charles
:22:17. > :22:20.Saatchi. They both deny one count of committing fraud. As the clear up
:22:21. > :22:23.the stormy weather across the UK continues last night, forecasters
:22:24. > :22:28.predict more gales across parts of the UK tonight. The search for a
:22:29. > :22:32.sailor who overboard on the River Trent resumes this morning, and a
:22:33. > :22:36.19-year-old is still in hospital this morning after a tree fell on
:22:37. > :22:40.his car. Thousands of homes are without power in Northern Ireland
:22:41. > :22:45.and north-west England. Cumbria police say they dealt with more than
:22:46. > :22:48.60 weather-related incidents, a number of roads were closed by
:22:49. > :22:53.falling trees. Elsewhere in the county, a man was injured when his
:22:54. > :22:57.truck was blown over. Part of the roof of this disused hotel was blown
:22:58. > :23:01.off. The nearby road had to be closed. There are weather warnings
:23:02. > :23:07.of snow, ice and rain the next few days, and the longer-term prospect
:23:08. > :23:10.is not better. Looking further ahead to the beginning of next week we
:23:11. > :23:13.have even more stormy weather to come with the run-up to Christmas,
:23:14. > :23:20.so it looks as though the weather will hamper people 's plans if they
:23:21. > :23:23.are travelling. An intense hailstorm stopped Stoke City's match against
:23:24. > :23:28.Manchester United for ten minutes. The referee said he could not see
:23:29. > :23:31.the players. And Sheffield Wednesday's game against Wigan had
:23:32. > :23:36.to be abandoned because the pitch was completely waterlogged. The
:23:37. > :23:40.Irish Republic was the first place to be hit by the storm. This debris
:23:41. > :23:44.is all that remains of a train station roof in Cork. Three people
:23:45. > :23:48.were injured. Witnesses say it was like the station had been hit by a
:23:49. > :23:52.tornado. Elsewhere in Co Limerick, the roof was blown off a house onto
:23:53. > :23:57.the street below. Several people were injured by falling debris. In
:23:58. > :24:02.Northern Ireland, high winds brought down chimneys and power lines. At
:24:03. > :24:06.one point, 7000 homes were left in darkness, although engineers have
:24:07. > :24:12.now restored power to most people. In Bristol and South West England,
:24:13. > :24:15.flooding was the problem. In Cardiff it looked much the same, and in
:24:16. > :24:19.parts of Wales it was an anxious night with sandbags at the doorways
:24:20. > :24:26.and the Fire Service in the street pumping out standing water. It is
:24:27. > :24:30.the world's world 's most powerful camera and has just been launched
:24:31. > :24:34.into space in an ambitious five-year mission to map the stars in our
:24:35. > :24:38.galaxy. The guy a probe took off from French Guiana on a month-long
:24:39. > :24:43.journey to reach its destination more than 19 million miles away from
:24:44. > :24:46.us. Once there it will begin the job of surveying the Milky Way, mapping
:24:47. > :24:59.precise positions and distances of more than 1 billion stars.
:25:00. > :25:09.Lighting up the night sky and leaving the Earth towards the stars.
:25:10. > :25:19.The European Space Agency's latest mission is to find out exactly where
:25:20. > :25:23.the stars are. At the heart of the Gaia space telescope is a camera
:25:24. > :25:27.sensitive enough to detect stars that are trillions of miles away.
:25:28. > :25:32.The company that made the camera have one -- one just like it that
:25:33. > :25:35.they are keeping on earth. Its senses shine like jewels. Each a
:25:36. > :25:41.different colour to detect different types of light. This is the most
:25:42. > :25:47.powerful camera ever built. It's able to take a picture of a human
:25:48. > :25:51.hair that is 1000 miles away. In space, its job will be to measure
:25:52. > :25:59.the size, brightness and position of more than 1 billion stars. Each
:26:00. > :26:04.sensor is shaken to test whether it would withstand the vibration of a
:26:05. > :26:08.rocket during take-off. It's going to get a much better view of our
:26:09. > :26:11.Milky Way. It will be able to look at the colour information of the
:26:12. > :26:18.stars, those elements that are there, where they are moving, and
:26:19. > :26:22.how the Milky Way evolved. Gaia will chart stars that are similar to our
:26:23. > :26:28.own sun and find exploding ones called super Novi. It will look for
:26:29. > :26:31.mysterious stuff called dark matter, Hunt for black holes, and the
:26:32. > :26:38.spacecraft will no doubt find things in our galaxy that no one had ever
:26:39. > :26:41.imagined. That is the fun of doing a survey like this, finding things
:26:42. > :26:44.that you don't expect. You can always learn more about the objects
:26:45. > :26:49.you know about, but it's the unexpected that I think is really
:26:50. > :26:52.interesting. And we may even discover that our galaxy is a
:26:53. > :26:54.completely different shape to what we see here, which is the one in the
:26:55. > :27:05.textbooks. Back to our main story, two men have
:27:06. > :27:09.been found guilty of the brutal murder of fusillade Lee Rigby near
:27:10. > :27:13.Woolwich barracks in May. Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale have
:27:14. > :27:16.both denied the charges, saying they were soldiers of Allah. At the Old
:27:17. > :27:20.Bailey in the last few minutes, a family liaison officer has been
:27:21. > :27:23.reading a statement for the Wrigley family, who said it had been the
:27:24. > :27:29.toughest time of their lives. -- Rigby family. Lee Rigby's family
:27:30. > :27:32.have asked me to read the following statement on their behalf. We would
:27:33. > :27:36.like to thank everybody who has helped us finally get justice for
:27:37. > :27:41.leak, and the overwhelming support we have received. This has been the
:27:42. > :27:44.toughest time of our lives. No one should have to go through what we
:27:45. > :27:49.have been through as a family. We are satisfied that justice has been
:27:50. > :27:54.done, but unfortunately, no amount of Justice will bring Lee back.
:27:55. > :27:58.These people have taken him away from us for ever, but his memory
:27:59. > :28:02.lives on in all of us and we will never forget him. We are very proud
:28:03. > :28:07.of elite, who served his country, and we will now focus on building a
:28:08. > :28:14.future for his son Jack, making him as proud of leak as we all are --
:28:15. > :28:17.Lee. Lee will be sorely missed by his siblings, nieces and nephew and
:28:18. > :28:27.all of those who love him. We now ask we are left alone to grieve for
:28:28. > :28:29.our loss. Thank you. That was a detective inspector speaking on
:28:30. > :28:33.behalf of Lee Rigby's family outside the Old Bailey in the last few
:28:34. > :28:37.minutes. Let's have a look at the weather with Philip Avery.
:28:38. > :28:42.Thank you very much. As Helen suggested in the package earlier
:28:43. > :28:44.on, the run-up to Christmas is no picnic, often wet very windy
:28:45. > :28:48.conditions across parts of the British Isles. Friday's weather is
:28:49. > :28:53.lured in on our doorstep, the speckled shower cloud, -- lurking.
:28:54. > :28:56.Something a bit more organised stretching down from the North of
:28:57. > :29:00.England and into the south-west. More of that in a second. The
:29:01. > :29:05.further east you are, the drier and finer prospects in the short-term.
:29:06. > :29:09.This feature has produced under in the far west of Cornwall in the last
:29:10. > :29:13.couple of hours or so. Hail across the valley area as well in Anglesey.
:29:14. > :29:18.And there will be definite wintry traits as it moves through Wales,
:29:19. > :29:24.not just on the high ground as it could turn nasty with really sharp
:29:25. > :29:27.hail showers some snow too. Similar prospects in Northern Ireland and
:29:28. > :29:30.the high grounds of Scotland, and the totals are beginning to mount
:29:31. > :29:33.up, and the heavier showers will drag the snow to lower levels as
:29:34. > :29:39.well. In the short-term, central and eastern parts of England, finer
:29:40. > :29:42.prospects but not with one or two showers, and some of them could be
:29:43. > :29:46.wintry. Just through the heart of the Midlands we could see something
:29:47. > :29:50.like squall E and nasty and wintry before it shoots off into the North
:29:51. > :29:54.Sea -- squirrelly. All the while we have the showers across Northern
:29:55. > :29:59.Ireland and Scotland. It will be a cold night, and that will lead to a
:30:00. > :30:03.significant ice problem, not just in Scotland and Northern Ireland, but
:30:04. > :30:07.also Wales and parts of the Midlands as well. Into Friday, we changed the
:30:08. > :30:12.script. A chilly start having had the clear skies overnight, but as I
:30:13. > :30:16.was suggesting, lurking in the Atlantic another spell of wet and
:30:17. > :30:20.windy weather. Certainly for northern and western parts. You may
:30:21. > :30:24.start dry but it won't last all day. Where it might stay dry is through
:30:25. > :30:31.central and eastern parts of the British Isles. With the wind coming
:30:32. > :30:34.back more towards the south-west, and plenty of it as well across the
:30:35. > :30:37.north-western part where the low pressure is close by, we will find
:30:38. > :30:41.the temperatures lifting of today's values after those chilly and RAC
:30:42. > :30:45.starts. The same weather band will have slumped across the British
:30:46. > :30:51.Isles but will have not cleared the stars -- IC starts. Wet and windy
:30:52. > :30:55.fair here, and the temperatures will mount up across the higher ground.
:30:56. > :30:59.And as Helen was saying, on Monday, we will turn back to something much
:31:00. > :31:03.wetter, much windy again. Lots going on over the next few days. The BBC
:31:04. > :31:07.weather website has got all the information you could possibly want.
:31:08. > :31:18.A reminder of the main story this lunchtime. Two men have been found
:31:19. > :31:21.guilty of the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby in Woolwich barracks. Michael
:31:22. > :31:24.Adebolajo Michael Adebowale said they carried out the killing because
:31:25. > :31:28.of British foreign policy. You can keep up-to-date with all the latest
:31:29. > :31:31.reaction to the guilty verdict on the BBC News channel throughout the
:31:32. > :31:32.afternoon. That is all from the News at one this afternoon.
