:01:41. > :01:45.Good afternoon, and welcome to the BBC News At One.

:01:46. > :01:48.An investigation is underway after a US military helicopter crashed on

:01:49. > :01:54.the North Norfolk coast last night, killing all four people onboard. The

:01:55. > :01:57.Pave Hawk was taking part in a low-flying exercise flying out of

:01:58. > :02:01.RAF Lakenheath, when it came down in marshes near Cley-next-the Sea. Our

:02:02. > :02:10.correspondent Jo Black is near the scene of the crash.

:02:11. > :02:16.Yes, yesterday afternoon to helicopters took off from RAF

:02:17. > :02:21.Lakenheath, but only one survived. That aircraft can be seen on the

:02:22. > :02:24.landscape but find me. The other one is complete wreckage, now being

:02:25. > :02:37.looked at by investigators. What happened here cost for people there

:02:38. > :02:40.lives. One helicopter remains grounded, the other is

:02:41. > :02:47.unrecognisable, shattered in pieces. Last night, both took off from the

:02:48. > :02:52.base. It was supposed to be a low-level training exercise, but

:02:53. > :02:57.something went wrong. The helicopter came very low over the back, very

:02:58. > :03:06.noisy, and the lights were bright, they lit the whole house up. It was

:03:07. > :03:15.making a weird noise and then the next thing I heard was the sky

:03:16. > :03:19.rinse. It is a better-known version of the Black Hawk. It is used in

:03:20. > :03:24.humanitarian missions. It usually had a crew of four but can carry 12

:03:25. > :03:29.passengers. It is designed for flying at night and has an excellent

:03:30. > :03:38.safety record. It is a very reliable, tough helicopter. It has

:03:39. > :03:42.been constantly upgraded. I would imagine it has the best safety

:03:43. > :03:50.record of any helicopter the United States military has ever owned. This

:03:51. > :03:52.afternoon, officers are collecting evidence. Debris has scattered

:03:53. > :03:57.everywhere and the crash site is beside a big football pitch. Cos

:03:58. > :04:04.there was live ammunition board, conditions remain hazardous. There

:04:05. > :04:09.are some problems in that the aircraft was carrying gun

:04:10. > :04:12.ammunition, said there are bullets scattered about this area I've just

:04:13. > :04:21.described it will have to be recovered. The Pave Hawk was one of

:04:22. > :04:25.a number at the US force. The fighter jets also blight out of

:04:26. > :04:32.here. Today, Blagdon at the base are at half-mast. Meanwhile, bodies of

:04:33. > :04:35.the crew members will remain at the crash site until the coroner is

:04:36. > :04:40.satisfied and the investigation can be handed over to the military.

:04:41. > :04:44.There has been lots of speculation as to the cause of this crash. Some

:04:45. > :04:47.have cited technical difficulties, some have talked about a possible

:04:48. > :04:52.bird strike, because this happened near a nature reserve. But the

:04:53. > :04:55.investigations are in the early stages and it could be weeks before

:04:56. > :05:00.we know the real reason why this happened. In the meantime, the

:05:01. > :05:06.Norfolk police are expecting to give us an update in the next half-hour.

:05:07. > :05:11.I defence correspondent is with me now. Tell us more about what they

:05:12. > :05:16.were doing. Nothing too unusual about this mission, a lot of

:05:17. > :05:20.military helicopters fly in this area. We've been told this was a

:05:21. > :05:24.training exercise, a low-level flying mission, and they do that

:05:25. > :05:32.quite often, as I said. The question is perhaps why night? Well, this

:05:33. > :05:38.kind of crew go in potentially behind Avenue -- behind enemy lines,

:05:39. > :05:45.so they have to be combat ready. And why was it armed? We understand it

:05:46. > :05:50.was carrying 1200 rounds for its machine gun. Essentially, it

:05:51. > :05:55.could've been going to a range, there are a number of nearby ranges.

:05:56. > :06:02.And were also told it is routine to carry weapons on board and

:06:03. > :06:05.ammunition on a training exercise. Weather records have been broken

:06:06. > :06:07.across America, with all 50 states experiencing sub-zero temperatures

:06:08. > :06:10.yesterday. The small town of Embarrass in Minnesota was the

:06:11. > :06:13.coldest, at -37C. The most extreme arctic blasts, blamed on a weather

:06:14. > :06:18.pattern known as the polar vortex, were said to have affected nearly

:06:19. > :06:29.190 million people. Katy Watson reports.

:06:30. > :06:34.These are Arctic conditions, but this is no glacier, it is the

:06:35. > :06:36.Niagara River. The freezing temperatures and blizzard like

:06:37. > :06:41.conditions are creating scenes like this all over the US. The past few

:06:42. > :06:51.days have been relentless. Temperatures in the midwest fell to

:06:52. > :06:59.-37 Celsius. Twice the cold of to Google freezer. I'm freezing. I'm

:07:00. > :07:07.numb, and I'm pregnant, so were both numb. In Chicago, Lake Michigan is

:07:08. > :07:09.warmer than the air outside. Residents are used to freezing

:07:10. > :07:15.temperatures, but these conditions are testing the homeless, who have

:07:16. > :07:20.had to find shelter in doors. Last night we had over a thousand people

:07:21. > :07:25.individuals, which we've never had before. Nearly 190 million people

:07:26. > :07:28.have been affected across the country by the pattern known as the

:07:29. > :07:35.polar vortex which began at the weekend. For some, these have been

:07:36. > :07:42.deadly. The weather has brought roads to a standstill, literally.

:07:43. > :07:45.These cars were frozen to the ground after a water main broke. Canada did

:07:46. > :07:56.not escape will stop hundreds of flights were frozen -- cancelled on

:07:57. > :08:01.Tuesday. It has been so cold that even Hell has frozen over. Residents

:08:02. > :08:06.of this small town have been digging themselves out of snow. Along with

:08:07. > :08:16.everyone else, they are hoping the warmer temperatures by the end of

:08:17. > :08:20.the week. Well, here it is the jet stream that

:08:21. > :08:25.is responsible for the heavy rain and floods that have been swamping

:08:26. > :08:37.parts of the UK. More than 100 drug warnings remain in place.

:08:38. > :08:41.I'm hearing what should be a very pretty part that actually looks more

:08:42. > :08:45.like a swimming pool. Not that you would want to swim in this. As you

:08:46. > :08:57.said, more than 100 blood warnings are in place across the U K -- flood

:08:58. > :09:04.warnings. It might look pretty, but beneath

:09:05. > :09:10.the Meadows lies the Merc. Filthy floodwater coursing through this

:09:11. > :09:17.ancient city. A site where enough for locals to want to snap it and

:09:18. > :09:21.share it. I haven't seen it as bad as this. I've lived here for 16

:09:22. > :09:26.years and it is the third time I've not been able to cross this without

:09:27. > :09:30.Wellington boots. Let's hope they continue to have it under control.

:09:31. > :09:39.For one village in Somerset, the water has proved beyond control.

:09:40. > :09:44.Residents were told it was a once in a century event. No wonder they are

:09:45. > :09:48.angry it has happened again. We've been pushing and pushing for

:09:49. > :09:54.dredging to be done. They say it won't make any difference. Of course

:09:55. > :09:58.it will. The church has changed. It is now part supermarket, part

:09:59. > :10:05.listening point, admit disbelief the deluge has happened again. Some are

:10:06. > :10:11.not waiting for the Environment Agency to wade in and help. One

:10:12. > :10:14.farmer in Shropshire is trying to protect his land by dredging his own

:10:15. > :10:22.River. They don't like is to take silk out of the river, they don't

:10:23. > :10:25.like is to take weeds out or to raise the banks, but if we didn't do

:10:26. > :10:33.this sort of thing in this situation, the land either side

:10:34. > :10:36.would be flooded fairly regularly. You've heard of pop-up shops, now in

:10:37. > :10:42.guilt that they have pop-up flood defences. One of many ways that the

:10:43. > :10:48.Environment Agency is acting to protect homes and businesses. These

:10:49. > :10:53.are tried and tested. They might look a bit flimsy that they are

:10:54. > :10:57.tried and tested and these came from East Anglia over the weekend, so we

:10:58. > :11:03.got no concerns about the fact they will be able to deal with the

:11:04. > :11:09.situation. Not far away is pearly, where there are yet more problems

:11:10. > :11:12.filmed by those living along. Every county in England has now had a

:11:13. > :11:19.flood warning. All because of the weather that has marred this winter.

:11:20. > :11:23.You get a sense from all that that all this water is creating a lot of

:11:24. > :11:27.frustration. The Environment Agency tell us they are protecting more

:11:28. > :11:30.than 1 million homes with their various defence systems. They have

:11:31. > :11:35.teams working around the clock to try to stop people from getting

:11:36. > :11:40.flooded by waters like this. But the bad news is that, as always, there

:11:41. > :11:46.is more water on the way. That means more problems and frustration across

:11:47. > :11:53.the UK. Sarah Campbell is in Chertsey in

:11:54. > :11:56.Surrey. The Thames is where that boaters,

:11:57. > :12:02.but there is a lot of water in between there and here. Not so much

:12:03. > :12:05.a problem on the flood plain, but residents are seeing they have not

:12:06. > :12:11.seen water levels like this since 2003. You can see the houses over

:12:12. > :12:15.here. Daniel Butcher is one of the local residents. It's a bit of a

:12:16. > :12:22.mess, isn't it's yes, there is about three foot at the back of the house.

:12:23. > :12:30.It is running through the house like a river. The digger has been hired

:12:31. > :12:35.by the local residents to cut the channel through. A bit of a

:12:36. > :12:42.desperate measure. It is just trying to alleviate the flood plain. We do

:12:43. > :12:49.see it the lab in times but this is the highest it's been since 2003. Is

:12:50. > :12:53.your home recoverable? No, the ground floor has three feet flowing

:12:54. > :12:56.through it like a river. We've moved and was upstairs but the water is

:12:57. > :13:02.slowly creeping in. It's just time now. This is why were trying to

:13:03. > :13:09.drain away. The longer it sits, the more it soaks in and stagnates.

:13:10. > :13:12.Thank you and good luck will stop the bad news for residents as you

:13:13. > :13:16.been hearing across the country is that the River Thames level is due

:13:17. > :13:23.to rise further over the next few days. There is more rain forecast

:13:24. > :13:27.for tomorrow. As we saw a moment ago in America it

:13:28. > :13:29.is the big freeze paralysing parts of the state.

:13:30. > :13:36.America's ABC correspondent, Linzie Thomas, is in Buffalo, in the state

:13:37. > :13:42.of New York. Extraordinary conditions. How much

:13:43. > :13:47.longer will this last? Not too much longer, luckily. We are in the

:13:48. > :13:56.bull's-eye of that polar vortex right now. It is -12 Celsius. I'm

:13:57. > :14:00.standing on a frozen lake. That polar air is sweeping across this

:14:01. > :14:04.lake, colliding with the warmer temperatures at its service and

:14:05. > :14:09.dumping so much snow on the shores it is coming down at a rate of four

:14:10. > :14:15.inches per hour. This area is expecting up to five feet of snow,

:14:16. > :14:21.blizzard like white out conditions, as you can see. Roads are closed,

:14:22. > :14:27.schools are closed. This is what they call lake effect snow. And this

:14:28. > :14:33.is the place for it, the snow belts. Incredible, thank you.

:14:34. > :14:36.The Labour MP Paul Goggins has died a week after collapsing while out

:14:37. > :14:39.jogging with his son. He was 60. The former Northern Ireland and Home

:14:40. > :14:42.Office minister - who represented Wythenshawe and Sale East - had been

:14:43. > :14:45.in Parliament since 1997. The Labour leader Ed Miliband said the party

:14:46. > :14:51.had lost "one of its most dignified, humane, wise and loyal MPs."

:14:52. > :14:53.It's emerged around half of criminals convicted of sexual

:14:54. > :14:59.assault, burglary and drug dealing in England and Wales in 2012 were

:15:00. > :15:02.not sent to prison. The figures were released by the Ministry of Justice

:15:03. > :15:04.following a parliamentary question from Shadow Justice Secretary Sadiq

:15:05. > :15:12.Khan. Our political correspondent Ross Hawkins has more.

:15:13. > :15:19.How many people who break the law gets sent straight to jail? It turns

:15:20. > :15:24.out last year roughly half of those convicted of burglary, half of those

:15:25. > :15:27.convicted of sexual assault and half convicted of suspected drug dealing

:15:28. > :15:33.went direct to prison in England and Wales. It means, of course, that the

:15:34. > :15:36.rest of those offenders face fines or suspended sentences after

:15:37. > :15:41.convictions, but not time walking corridors like these. This is

:15:42. > :15:46.leading to victims saying, what is the point of reporting a crime, what

:15:47. > :15:49.is the point of giving evidence if it means people who are found guilty

:15:50. > :15:55.don't receive the appropriate sentence? The figures vary, 94% of

:15:56. > :15:59.rapists go straight to prison. Changing things could be expensive.

:16:00. > :16:03.More prisoners would mean more prison places and they don't come

:16:04. > :16:07.for free. Politicians who work at the Ministry of Justice, or who want

:16:08. > :16:12.to in the future, like to talk tough. In fact, the percentage of

:16:13. > :16:16.offenders sent straight to jail in England and Wales has fluctuated

:16:17. > :16:21.between roughly seven and 8% over the last ten years. What has changed

:16:22. > :16:25.are the sentences. They have got longer, rising on average by a month

:16:26. > :16:28.since the general election. The minister says they are dealing with

:16:29. > :16:33.a system created by the last government. One of the things that

:16:34. > :16:37.really frustrated me was the level of people who commit that kind of

:16:38. > :16:41.offence who are getting off with a caution. We have stopped that now,

:16:42. > :16:46.they have to end up in court and we will continue to take measures to

:16:47. > :16:50.toughen up. This is a convex business. These measures include

:16:51. > :16:56.offenders under 18 who often get lighter sentences than adults -- a

:16:57. > :17:01.complex business. These figures are of concern. Every case needs to be

:17:02. > :17:04.treated on its own merits and judges will make decisions about sentencing

:17:05. > :17:08.at we want them to be sure they are understanding what the impact of

:17:09. > :17:15.that crime has been on victims. The question of who ends up here

:17:16. > :17:18.remains, gated, emotive and one the politicians can't afford to ignore

:17:19. > :17:21.-- remains complicated. Our top story this lunchtime.

:17:22. > :17:23.An investigation's underway after a US Air Force helicopter crashes in

:17:24. > :17:27.Norfolk, killing four people onboard.

:17:28. > :17:30.And still to come - a football first? FIFA's Secretary General

:17:31. > :17:45.rules out the summer months of June and July for Qatar's 2022 World Cup.

:17:46. > :17:47.Later on BBC London. 54 flood warnings and almost 100 alerts -

:17:48. > :17:51.because of the continuing wet weather. We're live in Surrey with

:17:52. > :17:54.the latest. And we go Underground to take a look at the latest work on

:17:55. > :17:58.the new Tottenham Court Road Station.

:17:59. > :18:02.Ten days after the skiing accident that left Michael Schumacher with a

:18:03. > :18:05.life-threatening head injury, the Formula 1 star remains critical but

:18:06. > :18:10.stable - in a medically induced coma in hospital. He was wearing a camera

:18:11. > :18:13.on his helmet when he hit a rock in Meribel in the French Alps. This

:18:14. > :18:16.morning French investigators, who've been examining the footage, have

:18:17. > :18:19.been giving details of what it revealed. Our correspondent, Imogen

:18:20. > :18:27.Foulkes, is outside the court house in Albertville in France where they

:18:28. > :18:36.were speaking. What have they been saying? This investigation is

:18:37. > :18:39.already well underway. The team have staged a reconstruction up on the

:18:40. > :18:44.slope where Michael Schumacher had his accident. They have interviewed

:18:45. > :18:51.his teenage son who was with him. They have analysed this video

:18:52. > :18:53.footage from his helmet camera. All of that evidence corroborates it

:18:54. > :18:58.self. We know that Michael Schumacher chose to go off piste, to

:18:59. > :19:04.leave pistes which were clearly marked. The chief investigator here

:19:05. > :19:09.said that video footage in particular divide some very clear

:19:10. > :19:13.evidence of how Michael Schumacher fell and where he felt -- provides

:19:14. > :19:18.some very clear evidence. TRANSLATION: His position after he

:19:19. > :19:24.fell was nine metres away from the least. We proceeded to examine the

:19:25. > :19:26.film he recorded. This film is perfectly clear and gives us a lot

:19:27. > :19:33.of information and confirms all of the detail we already had. So we

:19:34. > :19:39.know from that film, and from witnesses that Michael Schumacher,

:19:40. > :19:44.off piste, skied over a rock. That caused him to fall, he was thrown

:19:45. > :19:49.forward, he hit his head on another rock and that is what caused those

:19:50. > :19:53.serious injuries. Interestingly, the investigative team who performed 50

:19:54. > :19:58.such enquiries into ski accidents each year, say they can't say yet

:19:59. > :20:01.just how fast he was going. They need to look at the video footage

:20:02. > :20:12.frame by frame to assess that. They did say, though, he was skiing as he

:20:13. > :20:15.is, a very experienced skier. The investigation continues. Michael

:20:16. > :20:18.Schumacher, as you said, still in a coma in hospital.

:20:19. > :20:21.The boss of Sainsbury's says the supermarket chain had its "best

:20:22. > :20:24.Christmas ever" with more than 28 million transactions in the week

:20:25. > :20:29.running up to Christmas Day. Waitrose has also been toasting a

:20:30. > :20:32.record Christmas. But there are warnings that 2014 could prove to be

:20:33. > :20:35.a difficult year for supermarkets as customers tighten their belts. Our

:20:36. > :20:41.business correspondent, Ben Thompson, is here.

:20:42. > :20:47.Sainsbury's, better than expected, but latest results reflect how tough

:20:48. > :20:51.it is out there. They do. Despite beating expectations, the boss of

:20:52. > :20:55.Sainsbury's today, warning that still conditions out there remain

:20:56. > :21:00.very tough. Nonetheless, Sainsbury's managed to report a 0.2% rise in

:21:01. > :21:04.sales for the last quarter. They say that a good Christmas really did

:21:05. > :21:07.help offset a difficult October and November. That means it is the 36th

:21:08. > :21:13.consecutive quarter of growing sales. That is more than nine years.

:21:14. > :21:17.All the more impressive, given the state of the economy and the

:21:18. > :21:22.economic recovery. But its biggest growth area has been in smaller than

:21:23. > :21:26.brilliant stores. Sales there rose by 18%. Nonetheless, the boss of

:21:27. > :21:28.Sainsbury's told us that all supermarkets are having to work much

:21:29. > :21:34.harder to get customers through their doors. You can see that small

:21:35. > :21:40.shops RE where it is at at the moment in terms of growth. -- really

:21:41. > :21:47.wear. Yes, algae, Lidl, a lot of the retailers that your viewers will

:21:48. > :21:54.know are all important. -- Aldi. They will have one supermarket that

:21:55. > :21:56.they consider to be their main supermarket but they will shop

:21:57. > :22:01.around. Waitrose have had a great Christmas but what about the rest of

:22:02. > :22:03.the competition? Their sales were up over the vital Christmas period. We

:22:04. > :22:10.have also heard from the Co-op, telling us that sales in its food

:22:11. > :22:14.business were up. The important test will come tomorrow, we will hear

:22:15. > :22:18.from Marks Spencer, we are expected sales to fall for its

:22:19. > :22:21.clothing but it could be offset by better-than-expected food sales. We

:22:22. > :22:25.will also hear from the UK's largest supermarket, Tesco, they are also

:22:26. > :22:32.expected to see a fall in sales. Thank you.

:22:33. > :22:36.A coroner has ruled that PC David Rathband - who was found hanging a

:22:37. > :22:39.year and a half after he was shot and blinded by gunman Raoul Moat -

:22:40. > :22:43.did take his own life. PC Rathband was shot in July 2010 by Raoul Moat

:22:44. > :22:46.who was on the run. At the inquest, the Coroner Eric Armstrong said the

:22:47. > :22:50.attack on PC Rathband was the "first step" in the series of events which

:22:51. > :22:52.led to him killing himself. He urged none of those involved in the

:22:53. > :22:56.hearing to blame themselves. Voters should be required to show ID

:22:57. > :22:58.at polling stations in an attempt to stamp out electoral fraud - that's

:22:59. > :23:01.according to the elections watchdog. The Electoral Commission also wants

:23:02. > :23:03.to prevent political candidates and campaigners handling any postal

:23:04. > :23:06.votes. It's been reviewing vote-rigging, and admits that whilst

:23:07. > :23:09.it is rare, electoral fraud is normally committed by candidates or

:23:10. > :23:18.their supporters as Alex Forsyth reports.

:23:19. > :23:24.Elections, a time when the public decides who is in power. Now the

:23:25. > :23:28.voting watchdog, the Electoral Commission, has suggested a change

:23:29. > :23:33.to the system. It wants voters to produce ID at the ballot box to

:23:34. > :23:37.prevent electoral fraud, as they do in Northern Ireland. What do voters

:23:38. > :23:41.in England think? Fraud is too much so the only thing to stop is to

:23:42. > :23:45.carry our own IDs. I think that is fantastic. People who don't have

:23:46. > :23:48.driving licence which some people carry around, you have got to take

:23:49. > :23:53.your passport and that is a bit silly, isn't it? I am not fully

:23:54. > :23:57.aware of how much broader is in election so it is difficult for me

:23:58. > :24:02.to make a mad, but obviously we shouldn't allow any, so if it helps,

:24:03. > :24:06.I am for it. The Electoral Commission has identified 16 areas

:24:07. > :24:10.at risk of vote ringing. -- rigging. It is also examining allegations

:24:11. > :24:16.that Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities are susceptible. Tower

:24:17. > :24:20.Hamlets is alleged to have a history of electoral fraud. Proven cases are

:24:21. > :24:23.red but the Electoral Commission says even suspicion is enough to

:24:24. > :24:30.damage public trust in the voting system and that is what it wants to

:24:31. > :24:33.restore -- cases are rare. We will make sure we get the balance right

:24:34. > :24:37.between security and accessibility, and that the form of ID which we

:24:38. > :24:40.finally recommend doesn't disenfranchise people. We don't see

:24:41. > :24:46.that it would but we need to get that right. From June, voters will

:24:47. > :24:51.have to register individually and provide personal details to prevent

:24:52. > :24:56.fraud. A senior Liberal Democrat source has suggested the party would

:24:57. > :25:04.be nervous about a system which required voters to carry ID.

:25:05. > :25:07.FIFA's Secretary General has ruled out the 2022 World Cup in Qatar

:25:08. > :25:14.being played in the summer months of June and July. It comes after fears

:25:15. > :25:16.that the summer heat in the Gulf emirate could be dangerous for both

:25:17. > :25:20.fans and players. Our sports correspondent, Richard Conway, is in

:25:21. > :25:24.Salford. When could it be played? That remains the question. We have

:25:25. > :25:29.had a consultation process started by FIFA, that was launched in

:25:30. > :25:33.October last year. That was looking into possible dates. Jerome Valcke

:25:34. > :25:38.is a key member of that consultation process. His comments today that

:25:39. > :25:41.June and July would be ruled out effectively are significant in that

:25:42. > :25:45.context. FIFA were quick to clarify, they issued a statement

:25:46. > :25:48.saying it was his view and that the consultation process was still

:25:49. > :25:53.ongoing. We will wait to see that decision later this year. When will

:25:54. > :25:56.this World Cup be played? We know that January and February are ruled

:25:57. > :26:00.out, there is a clash with the Winter Olympics and that makes it

:26:01. > :26:03.impossible to play them. The comments on June and July seemingly

:26:04. > :26:07.rule out the summer, the traditional time slot. It seems increasingly

:26:08. > :26:11.likely that November and December is FIFA's preferred choice, but they

:26:12. > :26:15.are talking to players, leagues and domestic partners such as TV

:26:16. > :26:18.companies. We will see later in the year on a final decision when that

:26:19. > :26:21.World Cup, some eight years away from us still, will finally be

:26:22. > :26:24.played. Nominations for this year's Bafta

:26:25. > :26:26.film awards have been unveiled - with space drama Gravity, starring

:26:27. > :26:29.Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, leading the way. It's been short

:26:30. > :26:32.listed in 11 categories including best film and best British film,

:26:33. > :26:39.original screenplay and original music. 12 Years A Slave and American

:26:40. > :26:49.Hustle also landed ten nominations each. Here's our entertainment

:26:50. > :26:53.correspondent, Lizo Mzimba. Space thriller Gravity leads this year 's

:26:54. > :26:56.list with 11 nominations, including best film and Best actress for

:26:57. > :27:08.Sandra Bullock. Despite its American cast, it is a

:27:09. > :27:12.British movie. It was shot here and the ground-breaking special effects

:27:13. > :27:13.were done in the UK. Unsurprisingly, then, it is also up for best richest

:27:14. > :27:28.film. Come here. I said, near! Close behind is harrowing drama 12

:27:29. > :27:35.Years A Slave. It has ten nominations including best film and

:27:36. > :27:46.best actor for British star Chiwetel Ejiofor. To see myself and other

:27:47. > :27:51.people in the film talks about and thought of in this way, and the

:27:52. > :27:58.story we were trying to tell, just to talk about it it is very

:27:59. > :28:04.touching, and I am really thrilled. Every year, we are asked to predict

:28:05. > :28:09.who will wing and every year, most critics get it completely wrong --

:28:10. > :28:14.who will win. It is extraordinary for how long, harmony people have

:28:15. > :28:22.been saying 12 Years A Slave is the one to watch. -- how many people.

:28:23. > :28:26.Crime comedy drama American Hustle also has ten nominations, it is

:28:27. > :28:29.recognised in every category. These are the British Academy Awards and

:28:30. > :28:35.this is a strong year for many British performances, and not just

:28:36. > :28:41.in the biggest nominated films. Emma Thompson is nominated for best

:28:42. > :28:49.actress as Mary Poppins author PL Travers in Saving Mr Banks. And with

:28:50. > :28:53.her 15th nomination, this time for Philomena, the true story of a woman

:28:54. > :28:57.searching for the son she was forced to give up for adoption, Dame Judi

:28:58. > :28:59.Dench becomes the actress with the most ever film nominations from

:29:00. > :29:07.BAFTA. Time for a look at the weather. Here's Peter Gibbs. A bit

:29:08. > :29:11.quieter than it has been, we have even managed some spells of sunshine

:29:12. > :29:15.for many parts of the UK. You probably won't be too surprised to

:29:16. > :29:19.hear that we can't shake off the rain completely. Some rain is

:29:20. > :29:22.heading in from the South East as we speak, heavy bursts are possible for

:29:23. > :29:26.that we can see that gathering on the satellite picture. This big area

:29:27. > :29:31.of cloud is running in from the Atlantic. It looks like perhaps

:29:32. > :29:34.Wales is in the firing line as far as the heavy, more persistent rain

:29:35. > :29:38.is concerned through the rest of this afternoon. We have weather

:29:39. > :29:42.warnings in force because of the sogginess of the ground, still. As

:29:43. > :29:47.we had three to five o'clock this evening, during the busy travel

:29:48. > :29:52.period, the rain easing off for a good part of south-west England,

:29:53. > :29:54.very mild as well across the southern parts. Through the West

:29:55. > :29:59.Midlands and southern parts they will be a lot of rain, a lot of

:30:00. > :30:05.standing water am not terribly pleasant travelling conditions.

:30:06. > :30:13.Apache mist and fog starting to turn up but a fairly quiet end to the

:30:14. > :30:20.weekend -- Apache mist. Heavy bursts may be getting in a cross southern

:30:21. > :30:27.England. It will turn to snow across the high ground of northern England

:30:28. > :30:29.and southern Scotland. I touch of frost for the northern half of

:30:30. > :30:36.Scotland, maybe some ice around, most places will stay frost free. It

:30:37. > :30:40.will turn breezy overnight, the wind slowly easing during tomorrow. The

:30:41. > :30:43.cloud and the rain has taken a while to get out of the way, still some

:30:44. > :30:49.snow over the tops of the Pennines for a time. Most places end up with

:30:50. > :30:52.something drier and brighter as the day wears on. Temperatures in double

:30:53. > :30:57.figures in the south, near normal across northern areas. Let's look

:30:58. > :31:00.out into the Atlantic for Thursday into Friday. This weather front is

:31:01. > :31:04.the leading edge of this cold weather that has been hitting

:31:05. > :31:08.America over the last few days. By the time it gets across to our part

:31:09. > :31:12.of the world it is a spent force. It has been warmed up by the warmer

:31:13. > :31:16.waters of the Atlantic. A bit of rain but nothing terribly heavy

:31:17. > :31:20.living in. Some cold air in behind which could give snow across higher

:31:21. > :31:25.ground in Scotland. A cold, crisp start to the weekend, the chance of

:31:26. > :31:30.more rain from the west later on Sunday. Some uncertainty about that

:31:31. > :31:35.but overall, the message is quieter than we have seen but we need to

:31:36. > :31:39.watch for rain occasionally. Thank you very much.

:31:40. > :31:41.Now a reminder of our top story. Specialist investigators are

:31:42. > :31:43.examining the site in Norfolk where an American helicopter crashed last

:31:44. > :31:45.night, killing all four
