:00:26. > :00:30.billion reduction. 2014 is the year of hard truths, the year when
:00:31. > :00:35.Britain faces a hard choice. We will assess what the figures mean in
:00:36. > :00:40.practice. Also this lunchtime, more storms across the UK as flood

:01:37. > :01:44.Good afternoon, welcome to the News at one. The Chancellor George
:01:45. > :01:48.Osborne says a further ?25 billion of spending cuts will be needed
:01:49. > :01:53.after the next election to reduce the country's deficit. Just under
:01:54. > :02:00.half of that will come from welfare cuts. He said the economy was far
:02:01. > :02:04.from fixed and 2014 would be a year of hard choices. Our political
:02:05. > :02:09.correspondent has more news in Birmingham for us.
:02:10. > :02:13.We saw a lock of the Chancellor at places like this last year talking
:02:14. > :02:19.about economic growth. In the New Year the backdrop is pretty similar,
:02:20. > :02:24.but the message has changed. Details about future prosperity and cuts and
:02:25. > :02:29.creating what he described as a permanently smaller welfare system.
:02:30. > :02:34.The Chancellor, back at work with a New Year 's resolution, to plan
:02:35. > :02:40.another ?12 billion worth of cuts to welfare spending, a choice that he
:02:41. > :02:45.says makes sense. When you see politicians on the telly who say
:02:46. > :02:48.welfare cannot be cut any more, or even promising they will reverse the
:02:49. > :02:56.changes we have already made, ask yourself this, what public services
:02:57. > :03:01.with they cut instead? He is talking about spending after the next
:03:02. > :03:08.general election. He plans an extra ?25 billion of cuts each year by
:03:09. > :03:12.2017, of which ?12 billion will come from the welfare budget. He is
:03:13. > :03:17.considering cutting housing benefits for under 25 's and stopping people
:03:18. > :03:20.with big incomes are getting social housing. That would not be enough on
:03:21. > :03:31.its own and the Lib Dems are not signed up to the plan. The only
:03:32. > :03:33.people in society, the only section of society, which will bear the
:03:34. > :03:36.burden further our working age people. But the policy is designed
:03:37. > :03:42.to go down well in places like this, a few minutes drive away from where
:03:43. > :03:45.he made the announcement in this conservative constituency. The
:03:46. > :03:53.Chancellor is saying this is a choice, either cut services or spend
:03:54. > :03:59.it on other services that people value. In my area there are a lot of
:04:00. > :04:03.people who live on benefits and they seem to do fine, to be quite
:04:04. > :04:11.honest. They have got nice cars and nice holidays. He is off his head,
:04:12. > :04:16.to be truthful. Among those who are unimpressed, the Labour Party. He
:04:17. > :04:21.has failed to admit the reason why more spending cuts will be required
:04:22. > :04:26.is because of the failure of his economic plan. It may sound a risk
:04:27. > :04:31.for him to promise more austerity as the economy is picking up, that he
:04:32. > :04:36.has promised tough words with the audience here and beyond the factory
:04:37. > :04:41.gates. He said hard truths are coming this year. He is trying to
:04:42. > :04:45.say this is the only way to look at this question. He is beginning the
:04:46. > :04:49.year by defining the political debate and hoping his opponents go
:04:50. > :04:54.along with that. Labour will resist quite hard and they will say rather
:04:55. > :04:58.than worrying about cuts that may or may not be need in the future, we
:04:59. > :05:03.should be focusing on the cost of living and the crisis they say is
:05:04. > :05:08.affecting people now. That is the political landscape, our
:05:09. > :05:14.chief economics correspondent Hugh Pym is with us. Let's firstly drill
:05:15. > :05:19.down into the figures. We are learning for the first time that if
:05:20. > :05:24.he is still in office in 2016 - 2017, he wants to see 25 billion of
:05:25. > :05:29.spending cuts on top of those that have already happened. Half of those
:05:30. > :05:33.will be cuts from the welfare budget. This was implicit in the
:05:34. > :05:38.Autumn statement numbers we got before Christmas, but he is inking
:05:39. > :05:44.in a bit more detail. The cuts will be at the same rate as we have seen
:05:45. > :05:49.in the current Parliament, cuts to departmental spending as well as to
:05:50. > :05:55.welfare. No more deeper austerity, but continued austerity. To get to a
:05:56. > :06:01.balanced budget you need to carry on with spending cuts for the next few
:06:02. > :06:07.years. It was a tough message and things are not going to get any
:06:08. > :06:11.easier for the foreseeable? We have had a warning from the official who
:06:12. > :06:16.has to go out and borrow money on behalf of the Government, Roberts
:06:17. > :06:20.Damon. Although we have got this austerity programme, the Chancellor
:06:21. > :06:27.has to borrow ?100 billion this year and reduce it slightly in the
:06:28. > :06:30.following year. The head of the debt management office says it is
:06:31. > :06:35.becoming a bit more challenging to sell that debts to investors. They
:06:36. > :06:40.start switching to other opportunities. Although the deficit
:06:41. > :06:47.is lower, it does not get any easier selling that debt. Huge waves are
:06:48. > :06:52.battering the southern coast of the UK as forecasters warned exposed
:06:53. > :06:57.areas could see a fresh round of flooding. Waves up to eight metres
:06:58. > :07:02.have been seen of lands and in Cornwall and road and rail
:07:03. > :07:06.disruption has caused problems for many people returning after the
:07:07. > :07:11.Christmas break. The Environment Secretary is chairing a meeting of
:07:12. > :07:17.the emergency Cobra committee. Our correspondence is a new gale in
:07:18. > :07:22.south Wales for us with more. Wellcome and for a fourth day part
:07:23. > :07:26.of the Pembrokeshire coast is being pummelled by the waves. The flood
:07:27. > :07:32.defences are struggling to cope with that mixture of high tide, strong
:07:33. > :07:35.winds and heavy rain. It is not just west Wales that has been bearing the
:07:36. > :07:42.brunt of this weather. Other parts of the UK have been struggling as
:07:43. > :07:47.well. This is farmland in Somerset. This particular farmhouse is still
:07:48. > :07:52.on dry land, but some have not been so lucky. Whole communities are shut
:07:53. > :08:00.off. David and Tracey Bradley have been making daily trips by canoe to
:08:01. > :08:05.fetch essential supplies. When the water starts coming down a stock up,
:08:06. > :08:09.but you always run out of fresh produce and things like that. Those
:08:10. > :08:16.are the things people want and basic medical supplies. Environment
:08:17. > :08:22.Secretary Owen Paterson is chairing a Cobra emergency meeting to ensure
:08:23. > :08:28.agencies are ready to respond. Today he promised more investment in flood
:08:29. > :08:33.protection to help people in future. We are determined to carry on
:08:34. > :08:38.long-term flood schemes. We will be spending ?2.3 billion in the cause
:08:39. > :08:44.of this Parliament. We have a more ambitious programme going up to
:08:45. > :08:48.2020. In West Wales force ten wins and a high tide sent waves crashing
:08:49. > :08:55.into the coast line, Aberystwyth once again bearing the brunt as
:08:56. > :09:00.students had to be evacuated from seafront halls of residence. In
:09:01. > :09:04.Pembrokeshire seat flood defences struggled to cope. This is the main
:09:05. > :09:08.road that leads through this part of Pembrokeshire and it is completely
:09:09. > :09:14.covered by shingle. A few days ago that was part of the sea wall. The
:09:15. > :09:17.waters are coming over again today because the flood defences cannot
:09:18. > :09:23.cope with day after day of such ferocious weather. It is certainly
:09:24. > :09:28.spectacular, but locals say they have never seen such conditions. I
:09:29. > :09:35.have lived here all my life and I have never seen anything like this
:09:36. > :09:40.before. I have seen high tides, but this is exceptional. Areas like this
:09:41. > :09:45.are suffering for a third day. The only consolation is better weather
:09:46. > :09:49.is forecast for tomorrow. Believe it or not better weather is forecast
:09:50. > :09:53.for the remainder of the week here in West Wales. That is when the
:09:54. > :09:58.clean-up operation will begin and that will be a huge job of work. The
:09:59. > :10:04.Welsh Government has ordered a review of coastal defences, but they
:10:05. > :10:07.will be constrained as to how much financial assistance they will be
:10:08. > :10:13.able to offer. Thank you very much for that.
:10:14. > :10:20.Jimmy Savile's victims are calling for a single inquiry into how the TV
:10:21. > :10:23.presenter managed to evade justice. They say the current multiple
:10:24. > :10:28.investigations will not answer the key questions of how he operated and
:10:29. > :10:35.warned without a single inquiry the truth may not be uncovered. Welcome
:10:36. > :10:40.to January the 1st... It is years since the scale of Jimmy Savile's
:10:41. > :10:44.offending was revealed by police and it led to enquiries by the police,
:10:45. > :10:51.the Crown Prosecution Service, the BBC, the NHS. But frustration is
:10:52. > :10:55.growing. I met one victim who wishes to remain anonymous. He says he was
:10:56. > :11:03.assaulted by Jimmy Savile when he was 15 during a visit top of the
:11:04. > :11:06.Pops in Manchester in 1964. It was unbelievable what he did to me with
:11:07. > :11:14.both of his hands, unbelievable, and I was totally shocked and I froze.
:11:15. > :11:19.He wants to know why Jimmy Savile was not caught and feels there are
:11:20. > :11:27.too many enquiries. If there was just one inquiry led by someone
:11:28. > :11:36.competent and then we might know exactly why Jimmy Savile got away
:11:37. > :11:41.with serious sexual abuse for 50 years. And he is just one of many.
:11:42. > :11:50.One solicitor says the current process is flawed. There is no
:11:51. > :11:55.compulsion, there is no ability to propel the production of documents
:11:56. > :12:00.or the production of people to appear before those enquiries and to
:12:01. > :12:06.be questioned and to be subjected to tough questioning. The Government is
:12:07. > :12:11.waiting for the enquiries to report and the NSPCC rig geek -- agrees a
:12:12. > :12:17.review of their findings would be the best option. I know there is a
:12:18. > :12:23.call for one overall inquiry, but the danger is lessons are pushed off
:12:24. > :12:28.into years in the future. But amongst victims a growing feeling
:12:29. > :12:35.that one inquiry with powers to question anyone, see any document,
:12:36. > :12:39.is the only way to get real answers. The German Chancellor Angela Merkel
:12:40. > :12:44.has been injured in a ski accident. She partially fractured her pelvis
:12:45. > :12:47.in a cross-country skiing trip. She has had to cancel several trips in
:12:48. > :12:53.the coming weeks so that she can rest. Let's speak to our Europe
:12:54. > :12:59.correspondent Matthew Price who is in Brussels. How is this going to
:13:00. > :13:03.impact on her political schedule? She has had to cancel a few meetings
:13:04. > :13:08.this week and is not making a planned trip to Poland. This is
:13:09. > :13:13.your's most influential politician and it will influence her schedule
:13:14. > :13:19.for the next week or so. We learned about are just a few hours ago. It
:13:20. > :13:24.actually happened on the Swiss Alps in the Italian border just before
:13:25. > :13:30.Christmas. She is a keen skier and she had a fall whilst she was a
:13:31. > :13:34.cross-country skier. She was not going at any particular speed. She
:13:35. > :13:39.had a full and she got what she thought was a bruise, but when she
:13:40. > :13:43.had it checked out last Friday a doctor said it was a partial
:13:44. > :13:50.fracture of her pelvis. When she walks she will have to use a walking
:13:51. > :13:54.frame for the next couple of weeks. As we said at the beginning it does
:13:55. > :13:59.impact on her schedule possibly for the next three weeks. But they do
:14:00. > :14:06.insist in Berlin today she is still the German Chancellor and she is
:14:07. > :14:09.still doing her job. Protests by barristers and solicitors here have
:14:10. > :14:14.disrupted proceedings at criminal courts in England and Wales. They
:14:15. > :14:21.are angry at plans to cut the legal aid budget by ?220 million over the
:14:22. > :14:27.next few years and they say it could see lawyers' fees reduced by as much
:14:28. > :14:32.as 30%. This has not happened before, barristers and solicitors
:14:33. > :14:38.downing wigs and briefs and bringing the criminal courts to a standstill.
:14:39. > :14:43.They are careful not to call it a strike, but that is what many will
:14:44. > :14:48.think it is. They are protesting against the Government's proposed
:14:49. > :14:54.reforms to legal aid. The Government wants to cut ?220 million from the
:14:55. > :15:01.budget. Lawyers' fees in very complex cases are due to be cut by
:15:02. > :15:05.30% and in other cases by 17%. Barristers and solicitors say this
:15:06. > :15:11.dispute is about more than just money. They say it is about quality
:15:12. > :15:18.and legal representation that any member of the public can expect.
:15:19. > :15:21.There will be nobody of ability to prosecute serious cases. Rapists
:15:22. > :15:25.will not be doing the 100 years time, but they will be living next
:15:26. > :15:35.door to the public if their convictions fail. Janis Sharp's
:15:36. > :15:42.son, Gary MacKenzie and, received hundreds of thousands of pounds of
:15:43. > :15:47.legal aid when he was defending himself on charges of hacking into
:15:48. > :15:51.US computers. It is not sensational to say he would have taken his own
:15:52. > :15:56.life. He would have. But because we had that hope and that trust, it
:15:57. > :16:01.gave us time to get more medical evidence and medical experts and so
:16:02. > :16:06.on. It was massively important. But the government says the legal aid
:16:07. > :16:11.system is simply too expensive. We are talking about tax payers money
:16:12. > :16:15.who are giving money to the legal aid budget. I have to ensure that
:16:16. > :16:18.that money goes as far as possible. At the end of the day, I am
:16:19. > :16:24.confident that that budget will be adequate to make sure that those who
:16:25. > :16:29.qualify for legal aid are properly represented. This half day of
:16:30. > :16:34.action, though unprecedented, will delay not jeopardise trials. But if
:16:35. > :16:42.this dispute isn't resolved, murder, rape and other trials due to start
:16:43. > :16:45.after April could be put at risk. The president of Saddam, Omar
:16:46. > :16:50.al-Bashir, is in South Sudan for talks with his counter port on the
:16:51. > :16:54.continuing conflict there. More than 1000 people have died in the
:16:55. > :16:59.violence between government troops and rebels since December, with more
:17:00. > :17:03.than 200,000 civilians having fled their homes. The conflict started as
:17:04. > :17:07.a political struggle between factions following the split from
:17:08. > :17:12.Sudan in 2011, but there is real concern that the country is being
:17:13. > :17:18.split along tribal lines. That is a real concern, isn't it, from what
:17:19. > :17:22.you have seen on the ground? That's right. What you've got here is an
:17:23. > :17:28.army fighting a rebel army, but that rebel army is mostly made up of
:17:29. > :17:33.sections, tribal sections, of the army that have split off. So you
:17:34. > :17:36.have troops fighting troops. They are all well trained. They've got
:17:37. > :17:41.heavy arms, and there are many of them, so it makes it a very
:17:42. > :17:45.dangerous situation. We have recently travelled up to some of the
:17:46. > :17:49.areas where there has been the most serious fighting, and the general
:17:50. > :17:55.leading the convoy was attacked and ambushed three times. They are some
:17:56. > :18:02.distance away from taking back Bor and another city that is still under
:18:03. > :18:07.control by the rebels. While these talks are going on, a cease-fire has
:18:08. > :18:11.not been agreed. The incentive for both sides is to gain as much ground
:18:12. > :18:14.as they can, so that when the cease-fire is called, they will have
:18:15. > :18:19.more to bargain with. The longer they talk, the fighting it -- the
:18:20. > :18:25.harder it is for the fighting to stop. Then you have this crisis with
:18:26. > :18:31.over 200,000 people displaced and living in these camps.
:18:32. > :18:38.Thank you. Our main story this lunchtime: The job is not even half
:18:39. > :18:45.dumb - the Chancellor says the economy is on the rise but more cuts
:18:46. > :18:50.will have to come. Welfare will be the high dust hit.
:18:51. > :18:58.-- the hardest hit. And conflict on the high seas as an Australian group
:18:59. > :19:03.chases Japanese whalers. Almost... And as the BBC's

:19:12. > :19:13.Parts of the United States are braced for more record-breaking low
:19:14. > :19:19.temperatures as a polar vortex brings more freezing weather. The
:19:20. > :19:21.whirlpool of frigid, dense air has already brought temperatures down to
:19:22. > :19:24.their lowest ever recorded levels, but forecasters are warning that
:19:25. > :19:31.conditions could get even worse in the next few days, with temperatures
:19:32. > :19:33.as low as minus 50 degrees. The National Weather Service says the
:19:34. > :19:41.conditions are life-threatening across many states. Our world
:19:42. > :19:47.affairs correspondent, Mike Wooldridge, reports.
:19:48. > :19:54.The big freeze is already biting hard across a swathe of the American
:19:55. > :19:58.midwest. High winds and snow already making any kind of getting around
:19:59. > :20:04.difficult, and in many places treacherous. It is set to get a good
:20:05. > :20:08.deal colder than this. A polar vortex, as it is called by experts,
:20:09. > :20:12.bringing some of the lowest temperatures in years. Hundreds of
:20:13. > :20:17.flights have already been cancelled, and little wonder.
:20:18. > :20:21.Officials are investigating a crash landing at this snowy airport in
:20:22. > :20:26.Aspen, Colorado. One person was killed. The private Jet flipped over
:20:27. > :20:35.and burst into play the Dutch burst into flames. This jet came off a
:20:36. > :20:39.taxiway at New York's JFK. And the pilot of this light aircraft was
:20:40. > :20:44.forced to land on a snow lined New York highway. The city of
:20:45. > :20:48.Indianapolis banned anyone from driving other than in an emergency
:20:49. > :20:54.or to seek shelter, and the last time it issued such a travel warning
:20:55. > :20:58.was in 1968. This weather combination that we are seeing right
:20:59. > :21:02.now with all the snow and the cold is unlike anything we have seen in
:21:03. > :21:10.decades. I cannot emphasise that enough. But in Wisconsin, no one was
:21:11. > :21:15.going to let the extreme weather prevent a key national sporting
:21:16. > :21:26.event from going ahead. Some fans went to extreme lengths to fight the
:21:27. > :21:30.freeze. Layers, four layers of long johns, sweat pants, sweatshirts and
:21:31. > :21:34.a coat. America is braced for more of this and for what has been called
:21:35. > :21:37.a storm for the record books. The inquest into the death of PC
:21:38. > :21:40.David Rathband is taking place today. PC Rathband was found dead 19
:21:41. > :21:43.months after being shot and blinded by gunman Raoul Moat, who went on
:21:44. > :21:50.the run after shooting his ex-girlfriend and killing her
:21:51. > :21:56.partner. Ed Thomas reports. Could more have been done to support
:21:57. > :22:01.PC death -- PC David Rathband before his death. The officer was found
:22:02. > :22:07.hanged in his home, 18 months after he was blinded by killer Raul Mote.
:22:08. > :22:14.Today, his family arrived at his inquest, still looking for answers.
:22:15. > :22:18.The evidence that the coroner has given shows that David was let down
:22:19. > :22:24.by the people who might have prevented his death. The inquest
:22:25. > :22:30.might be a foregone conclusion to many, but our hope is that David's
:22:31. > :22:35.death was preventable. This was PC Rathband before he was shot, bring
:22:36. > :22:41.the job he loved as a traffic officer. But in July 2010, Raoul
:22:42. > :22:47.Moat tried to kill him, after vowing to attack the police. He was shot
:22:48. > :22:51.twice at point-blank range. A week later, Mode shot himself dead. PC
:22:52. > :22:59.Rathband received massive public support, but the inquest heard how
:23:00. > :23:04.he struggled to cope. His widow, Cafu Rathband, spoke of how he
:23:05. > :23:12.started an affair with another woman. -- cat Rathband. The court
:23:13. > :23:16.was told that David Rathband hang -- phoned his wife and threatened to
:23:17. > :23:21.hang himself. For his body was found, Catherine Rathband visited
:23:22. > :23:28.her estranged husband. She told the coroner that he looked awful and was
:23:29. > :23:32.crying. She told the court that this was a pattern of behaviour and she
:23:33. > :23:36.did not think he would take his own life. She also asked the police to
:23:37. > :23:41.check on her husband. A text message was sent to his liaison officer. By
:23:42. > :23:50.the time police arrived, he had already died. The inquest into his
:23:51. > :23:53.death is expected to last five days. A 36-year-old man has been found
:23:54. > :23:56.guilty of dangerous driving after he was filmed in August last year
:23:57. > :23:59.driving for about 30 seconds with both his hands behind his head.
:24:00. > :24:01.Magistrates told him the video evidence was conclusive. Danny
:24:02. > :24:11.Savage is at Scarborough Magistrates' Court. Kate, this dates
:24:12. > :24:18.back to August the night last year, when this very police van was parked
:24:19. > :24:21.on a moorland road near Whitby, catching speeding motorists. But the
:24:22. > :24:27.operator of this band said he was shocked and surprised when he saw
:24:28. > :24:31.this - 36-year-old David Newton driving along with both his hands
:24:32. > :24:38.behind his head for about 30 seconds, driving at about 62 miles
:24:39. > :24:42.an hour. The operator of the fan swung the camera around and filmed
:24:43. > :24:47.him as he went by driving along the road. A couple of days later, a
:24:48. > :24:51.policeman went knocking on Mr Newton's door. He said that it was
:24:52. > :24:55.him driving at the time and that it was a stupid thing to do, but in
:24:56. > :25:00.court today he tried to argue that what he was doing was careless but
:25:01. > :25:05.not dangerous, and that he was controlling the steering wheel using
:25:06. > :25:08.his knees. The magistrates decided that what he was doing was very
:25:09. > :25:12.dangerous driving, and they found him guilty of dangerous driving here
:25:13. > :25:21.today. He was sentenced to a 12 month ban from driving, community
:25:22. > :25:27.work, court costs, and will have to take a extended -- and extended
:25:28. > :25:32.driving test, which will no doubt focus on keeping both hands on the
:25:33. > :25:34.wheel. Australian anti-whaling activists
:25:35. > :25:37.say they're pursuing a fleet of Japanese ships involved in the
:25:38. > :25:40.killing of four whales in the Southern Ocean. The activists say
:25:41. > :25:41.the whales were killed within an internationally-recognised whale
:25:42. > :25:48.sanctuary. From Sydney, Jon Donnison, reports.
:25:49. > :25:51.These are the pictures that infuriate many environmentalists.
:25:52. > :25:57.They filmed by the anti-whaling group, Sea Shepherd. They apparently
:25:58. > :26:03.shows three dead Minke whale is on board one of five Japanese ships in
:26:04. > :26:09.the icy waters of the Southern open -- Southern Ocean. The bloody decks
:26:10. > :26:13.suggest another whale was killed and had already been cut up. The
:26:14. > :26:20.activists save the whales were caught within a whale sanctuary, a
:26:21. > :26:25.50 mile -- a 50 square kilometre area around the Antarctic. The
:26:26. > :26:30.sanctuary was set up in 1994 to detect Wales, and there was a
:26:31. > :26:37.moratorium on all commercial whaling. But the Japanese say their
:26:38. > :26:44.whaling is carried out for research reasons. The environmentalists
:26:45. > :26:47.reject that. Japan upholds this lie that it is scientific research. Have
:26:48. > :26:52.a look at the footage from the slaughter of the last 24 hours.
:26:53. > :26:58.There is nothing scientific about this. A spokesperson at the Japanese
:26:59. > :27:03.Foreign Ministry denied that Japan was exploiting a loophole, and said
:27:04. > :27:07.it was carrying out its legitimate rights. Australia is taking Japan to
:27:08. > :27:13.the International Court of Justice in an attempt to get it to cease
:27:14. > :27:16.whaling. Environmentalists here have criticised the Australian government
:27:17. > :27:21.for not doing enough to stop the Japanese.
:27:22. > :27:25.England cricket coach Andy Flower says he is determined to stay on and
:27:26. > :27:28.help rebuild the team after its crushing 5-0 defeat to Australia in
:27:29. > :27:31.the Ashes series. He and captain Alastair Cook have come under
:27:32. > :27:34.pressure to resign, but he says it's time for a new start. Our sports
:27:35. > :27:41.correspondent, Dan Roan, reports from Sydney.
:27:42. > :27:47.The morning after the Tour before. Regrets but no resignations. I don't
:27:48. > :27:53.feel pride in the way we have played this test series. So why would you
:27:54. > :27:59.not resign, if you are not proud of what happened? Why have you decided
:28:00. > :28:02.to stay? I am proud of my involvement in England cricket, and
:28:03. > :28:07.I am proud of the results we have had over the last however many years
:28:08. > :28:16.that we have all been working together. Defeat by 281 runs in
:28:17. > :28:22.Sydney sealed a 5-0 whitewash, and all this after England beat
:28:23. > :28:27.Australia 3-0 last summer. But while Andy Flower and England's captain
:28:28. > :28:30.Alastair Cook will keep their jobs, what now looks certain that the team
:28:31. > :28:35.who left the field yesterday will look very different when it plays
:28:36. > :28:40.again next summer. It does feel like the end of some type of Iraq, and
:28:41. > :28:48.there will be some type of new start. -- some type of Iraq.
:28:49. > :28:52.Preparations for the new one-day series started today, and some are
:28:53. > :28:58.now calling for a complete change in approach. The players, the
:28:59. > :29:02.management, the hierarchy of the ECB, they have to look at the way
:29:03. > :29:06.that England have played for the last two years or so now. OK, they
:29:07. > :29:16.have won games, but you have to be dynamic. You have to win games.
:29:17. > :29:19.Having enjoyed the good times, England's captain and coach are now
:29:20. > :29:25.experiencing some of the worst. Their true test is about to begin.
:29:26. > :29:32.Time for a look at the weather now. Chris Fawkes is here.
:29:33. > :29:39.There are over 100 weather warnings in force. Today we are going to see
:29:40. > :29:43.a lot of blustery showers. The radar picture picks up the showers pretty
:29:44. > :29:48.well. The heaviest downpour is working in from northern England and
:29:49. > :29:52.into parts of Scotland this afternoon, bringing a real risk of
:29:53. > :29:56.hail and thunder. There will be plenty of downpours elsewhere. In
:29:57. > :30:00.the south-west of England, with strong winds, there will be ten
:30:01. > :30:06.metre waves battering the coastline. Don't go to to near the coastline as
:30:07. > :30:10.we could see some coastal erosion. Gusty winds across England and
:30:11. > :30:15.Wales, gusting up to 70 miles an hour around the coast of Wales.
:30:16. > :30:19.Northern Ireland and Scotland also seeing plenty of showers. A real
:30:20. > :30:24.risk of hail in the showers across Scotland. Overnight and night, the
:30:25. > :30:28.strong winds will continue to blow in further showers. There will be a
:30:29. > :30:32.lengthy spell of rain across southern counties of England, where
:30:33. > :30:39.we have most of the flood warnings in place at the moment. Another ten
:30:40. > :30:43.to 20 millimetres possible here. Tuesday, having another day of
:30:44. > :30:49.sunshine for Scotland and Northern Ireland. The weather is then set to
:30:50. > :30:53.get quieter as we head through the afternoon. The showers fewer in
:30:54. > :30:59.number and some sunshine poking through. And it stays dry. Tuesday
:31:00. > :31:06.night, another band of rain works its way in from the south-west. The
:31:07. > :31:10.risk of further localised flooding. Wednesday will generally be a
:31:11. > :31:15.quieter day. A few showers across the north of the British Isles. A
:31:16. > :31:19.dry start to the day for some with some welcome shout -- welcome
:31:20. > :31:23.sunshine, but we will then see the next band of rain working its way in
:31:24. > :31:28.from the South West. Southern counties may see another ten to 20
:31:29. > :31:34.millimetres of rain. If you are bored of all this wet when -- wet
:31:35. > :31:39.weather, the weather looks to improve on Thursday. Meanwhile, the
:31:40. > :31:44.weather gets worst across North America. This area of low pressure
:31:45. > :31:50.will bring blizzards across Canada. Really miserable weather.
:31:51. > :31:57.Temperatures in New York, maximum temperatures, hit -10 on Tuesday.
