:00:50. > :00:52.star Bill Roache has arrived in court for the start of his trial. He

:01:38. > :01:45.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:01:46. > :01:50.The former radio one DJ Dave Lee Travis has gone on trial accused of

:01:51. > :01:54.a series of sex offences against ten women and a 15-year-old girl. The

:01:55. > :01:59.presenter is charged with 13 counts of indecent assault and one of

:02:00. > :02:04.sexual assault between 1976 and 2008. He has pleaded not guilty to

:02:05. > :02:10.all the charges. June Kelly is at Southwark Crown Court.

:02:11. > :02:13.Well, soapy, and above these alleged incidents are said to have taken

:02:14. > :02:18.place on BBC premises. The court heard this morning that one of his

:02:19. > :02:22.alleged victims said she was at a recording of top of the Pops in the

:02:23. > :02:26.late 1970s and Dave Lee Travis was introducing a record. She was

:02:27. > :02:30.standing close to him and as he introduced the record, he assaulted

:02:31. > :02:40.her. The jury was shown footage from that Top Of The Pops Central --

:02:41. > :02:45.show, and you can see the expression on the young woman's face change,

:02:46. > :02:48.that is when he assaulted. It is also claimed that an 18-year-old

:02:49. > :02:53.woman working at the BBC was assaulted by the DJ in his Radio 1

:02:54. > :02:56.studio, while he was on air and a record was playing. She says he then

:02:57. > :03:00.prevented her from leaving the studio, put his hand over the door.

:03:01. > :03:05.She did eventually managed to get out. There was a third incident,

:03:06. > :03:11.also at the BBC, where a Continuity Announcer, a female, say she was

:03:12. > :03:13.assaulted by him as she was making a continuity announcement. She said

:03:14. > :03:18.she did not tell her bosses because she was a trainee, he was a powerful

:03:19. > :03:22.DJ and she did not want to lose her job. The youngest alleged victim in

:03:23. > :03:26.this case was 15 years of age when the incident was said to have taken

:03:27. > :03:31.place and she says Dave Lee Travis assaulted her in his trailer at a

:03:32. > :03:34.pop concert. She said that after the assault, she was so frightened, she

:03:35. > :03:40.was terrified and she thought he was going to rape her.

:03:41. > :03:46.He was one of the biggest names on Radio 1. Dave Lee Travis was also a

:03:47. > :03:52.regular on BBC TV. Today, he faced the cameras as a defendant in a

:03:53. > :03:54.criminal trial. From the dock, he listened as the prosecution

:03:55. > :04:01.barrister Miranda Moore QC outlined the case against him. The former DJ,

:04:02. > :04:05.who was referred to in court by his real name of David Griffin, is

:04:06. > :04:10.pleading not guilty to all of the charges. He is facing 13 counts of

:04:11. > :04:17.indecent assault and one of sexual assault. The allegations run from

:04:18. > :04:25.1976 up to 2008. Welcome to another exciting addition of Top Of The

:04:26. > :04:31.Pops. Four years, DLT, as he was known, was a presenter on one of the

:04:32. > :04:34.BBC's most popular shows. It is the accusations during his career both

:04:35. > :04:36.inside and outside of the corporation that is coming under

:04:37. > :04:41.scrutiny. The trial is due to last six weeks.

:04:42. > :04:43.Well, what the jury was also told this morning was that Dave Lee

:04:44. > :04:46.Travis was first interviewed and arrested after the Jimmy Savile

:04:47. > :04:51.scandal blew up, this is all part of Scotland Yard's Operation Yewtree.

:04:52. > :04:57.One of his alleged victims said she went to the BBC after the Sabol

:04:58. > :05:01.scandal blew up and told him what -- the Jimmy Savile scandal blew up and

:05:02. > :05:04.told them what he had done to her and she got no reaction, which is

:05:05. > :05:08.why she went to the Daily Mail and told her story. He has been

:05:09. > :05:11.described in court this morning as an opportunist who preyed on women a

:05:12. > :05:15.lot younger than him. He said in police interviews that none of these

:05:16. > :05:19.things happened, he said that all of these women had been motivated by

:05:20. > :05:22.greed, the desire to compensation and the need for media attention.

:05:23. > :05:26.June, thank you very much. For the first time in four years,

:05:27. > :05:30.inflation has fallen to 2%, hitting the Bank of England's target. The

:05:31. > :05:34.rate of inflation has been falling since the middle year. This latest

:05:35. > :05:37.drop makes it more likely that the Bank of England will be able to keep

:05:38. > :05:44.interest rates low. Here's our chief economics correspondent, Hugh Pym.

:05:45. > :05:49.The inflation wheel has turned and, in a direction which will be

:05:50. > :05:51.welcomed by households as well as policymakers. Cost of living

:05:52. > :05:56.increases are running at their lowest in four years and the Bank of

:05:57. > :06:01.England can at last say inflation is back on target. Today's inflation

:06:02. > :06:05.numbers are undoubtedly good news. After four years of inflation above

:06:06. > :06:11.the 2% target, we are now back on target and it symbolises the end of

:06:12. > :06:15.the squeeze on household finances. Back in December 2011, inflation was

:06:16. > :06:20.above 4%. Since then, it has fallen, with a few upward blips, to

:06:21. > :06:24.a standard 2% last month, less than half the raid two years earlier.

:06:25. > :06:29.Inflation has been running well ahead of average wage rises for some

:06:30. > :06:32.time now, but this year, some policymakers and economists think

:06:33. > :06:37.the trend could be reversed, with economic recovery pushing pay growth

:06:38. > :06:41.above the cost of living increases. So potentially there is better news

:06:42. > :06:47.ahead for consumers, whose spending power has been squeezed while

:06:48. > :06:50.inflation has been above wage rises. But as things stand, citizens advice

:06:51. > :06:55.say some on low pay want help, because they are struggling with the

:06:56. > :06:58.cost of living. Clients are mentioning things like transport

:06:59. > :07:02.costs, so it is great if they get a job but they can then struggle with

:07:03. > :07:06.the cost of actually getting to work on a day-to-day basis. Education

:07:07. > :07:13.costs, such as school uniforms on school trips for their children, and

:07:14. > :07:17.even food costs are going up. We also learned today that annual house

:07:18. > :07:24.price inflation was running at 514%. This estate agent in

:07:25. > :07:30.Manchester ex-miner prices in flats like this in a city had covered --

:07:31. > :07:34.recovered ground after the downturn. Speaking at this property came on

:07:35. > :07:38.the market in 2007, just as the property market fell. It has taken

:07:39. > :07:41.seven years for it to come back up to that value but today, we are

:07:42. > :07:46.realising the value prior to the market falling.

:07:47. > :07:49.Economic growth, low inflation, falling unemployment. It looks a

:07:50. > :07:54.fair combination for 2014, as long as there are no unexpected shocks,

:07:55. > :07:56.higher oil prices, for example, which might throw a spanner in the

:07:57. > :08:01.works. And Hugh is with me now. So finally,

:08:02. > :08:03.it is going the right way not just the Bank of England but also for its

:08:04. > :08:07.new governor. Yes, indeed, all of the people will

:08:08. > :08:11.be thinking Mark Carney is a lucky governor. He hears with inflation

:08:12. > :08:16.back to 2%, he has only been in the jobs for a few months and for many

:08:17. > :08:19.of the four years, his predecessor Mervyn King was having to battle of

:08:20. > :08:24.criticism that the bank had lost its grip, inflation running high above

:08:25. > :08:28.target, add 5% at one point. What does it mean for interest rates?

:08:29. > :08:32.Mark Carney and his colleagues at the bank had made it clear they will

:08:33. > :08:36.not consider an interest rate rise until unemployment falls down to

:08:37. > :08:42.numeric 7%. When they introduced that clause last year, it looked

:08:43. > :08:46.like it would be three years before it hit, interest rates staying low

:08:47. > :08:49.for some time. Then growth has become faster than most expected and

:08:50. > :08:53.unemployment started falling rapidly, so it looks like we will

:08:54. > :08:59.hit that 7% sometime this year, that is very possible. Mark Carney has

:09:00. > :09:03.since had to make it clear that he would not say a rate rise would come

:09:04. > :09:07.in without looking at other things but he does have leeway now to look

:09:08. > :09:11.at other things, and implement is falling, but he can consider other

:09:12. > :09:15.things and not rush. Norman Smith is in Westminster.

:09:16. > :09:17.Politically, what does it all to do these arguments about the cost of

:09:18. > :09:20.living? There is a rough rule of thumb at

:09:21. > :09:25.Westminster which bluntly is economic recovery equal is political

:09:26. > :09:28.recovery and there is no doubt that ministers feel that the wind is now

:09:29. > :09:32.firmly billowing in their sales on the economic front. Not just with

:09:33. > :09:36.today's inflation figures, the better than expected growth

:09:37. > :09:39.forecast, that big fall in unemployment last month. The one

:09:40. > :09:45.chink in our argument, as you say, is the cost of living and the fact

:09:46. > :09:52.that prices are still at raising prices. But you sense they are on a

:09:53. > :10:01.cusp of a rethink on Labour's cost of living. Today, Ed Miliband had an

:10:02. > :10:04.article in the daily Telegraph -- Daily Telegraph, which basically

:10:05. > :10:07.amounted to Ed Miliband, why I love the middle classes, looking to

:10:08. > :10:12.readdress the middle-class way of life, issues like housing, sending

:10:13. > :10:15.your children to university, and the reason for that, I think, is because

:10:16. > :10:19.it becomes increasingly hard to make the cost of living argument against

:10:20. > :10:24.a recovering economy, so we can expect to see Ed Miliband, at the

:10:25. > :10:27.end of this week, in a big speech on the economy, just reframing,

:10:28. > :10:30.revamping, Labour's argument on the cost of living.

:10:31. > :10:33.Norman, thank you very much. The Coronation Street actor William

:10:34. > :10:36.Roache has gone on trial, accused of sexual offences - including two

:10:37. > :10:40.counts of rape - against five girls in the 1960s. Mr Roache, who plays

:10:41. > :10:43.Ken Barlow in the television soap, has pleaded not guilty to all

:10:44. > :10:53.charges. Our correspondent Judith Moritz is at Preston Crown Court.

:10:54. > :10:59.Yes, that's right. Bill Roache is charged with five counts of indecent

:11:00. > :11:04.assault and two counts of rape, dating back to the period of 1965

:11:05. > :11:07.and 1971, and he arrived here at Preston Crown Court this morning to

:11:08. > :11:11.a barrage of cameras. He is very well known, of course, as the

:11:12. > :11:16.character Ken Barlow in Coronation Street. That is a situation which

:11:17. > :11:22.the trial judge, Mister Tim Holroyd QC, is acutely aware of. He is in

:11:23. > :11:26.the process at the moment of selecting the jury who will sit on

:11:27. > :11:31.this case and he has been addressing the panel from which that a jury

:11:32. > :11:35.will be selected. He said to them, " You may, in one sense, feel you

:11:36. > :11:40.already know Bill Roache. He has played a part of Ken Barlow in

:11:41. > :11:45.Coronation Street. But this is, of course, not a fictional character on

:11:46. > :11:48.trial, it is a real person." And he has asked the potential jurors if

:11:49. > :11:51.they can distinguish between the actor and the character he plays

:11:52. > :11:55.and, if they are unable to do so, they should not serve. He has also

:11:56. > :11:58.asked potential jurors to make sure they have no connections with some

:11:59. > :12:01.cast members from Coronation Street who will be coming here to give

:12:02. > :12:06.evidence, including Anna Kirkbride who has played the wife of Ken

:12:07. > :12:12.Barlow, Deirdre Barlow, for many years.

:12:13. > :12:14.President Hollande of France will face the world's media this

:12:15. > :12:17.afternoon for the first time since allegations surfaced of an affair

:12:18. > :12:19.with an actress. Mr Hollande's partner, Valerie Trierweiler, has

:12:20. > :12:22.been in hospital since the claims were published in a celebrity

:12:23. > :12:27.magazine last Friday. Our Paris correspondent Christian Fraser has

:12:28. > :12:31.the latest. Sophie, we have been told this week

:12:32. > :12:35.that the French don't care about the Private lives of their politicians.

:12:36. > :12:40.Well, judging by this morning's newspapers, I am not sure I believe

:12:41. > :12:45.it. The front page never delete pages are now full of the crisis

:12:46. > :12:48.that envelops this deeply unpopular president and these revelations of

:12:49. > :12:51.his private life could hardly have come at a worse time.

:12:52. > :12:54.The annual meeting with the press is a big fixture on the presidential

:12:55. > :12:59.diary. It was viewed this year as a moment for Mr Holllande to reset his

:13:00. > :13:02.ailing presidency. In his sights today, those white hot issues.

:13:03. > :13:06.Taxes, public spending, cuts to welfare. All dangerous territory for

:13:07. > :13:09.a French president. But this afternoon, reform will be

:13:10. > :13:14.overshadowed by the deeper questions of the President 's infidelity. And

:13:15. > :13:18.his affair with the actress Julie Gayet. His official partner and

:13:19. > :13:24.First Lady, Valerie Trierweiler, still remains in hospital. We are

:13:25. > :13:34.told she is in need of rest. But former colleagues say her world is

:13:35. > :13:37.imploding. She probably, probably put too much distance between her

:13:38. > :13:40.and her former colleagues, female friends from the journalistic world,

:13:41. > :13:48.so I would say today that she is a very solitary woman. She is all on

:13:49. > :13:51.her own. It is said the president was incensed at the unwelcome

:13:52. > :13:54.intrusion into his private life, but it is expected he will respond to

:13:55. > :14:02.posed question about the First Lady 's position, hoping he can quickly

:14:03. > :14:05.draw a line. The trouble is, the focus is turning to the dangerous

:14:06. > :14:08.risk the president took, travelling to his lover on a moped without the

:14:09. > :14:11.usual security, tailed by the paparazzi, and with every suspicion

:14:12. > :14:13.that someone in the Elysee Palace was keeping the First Lady in the

:14:14. > :14:26.dark. Well, the politicians left and right

:14:27. > :14:29.have given good support to Mr Holllande in the past week, but

:14:30. > :14:34.there is one man, judging by the photographs in today's paper, who is

:14:35. > :14:38.enjoying his discomfort. He is the former incumbent of the Elysee

:14:39. > :14:40.Palace, Nicolas Sarkozy, and according to this paper, he is

:14:41. > :14:44.already thinking about his return. The plot thickens.

:14:45. > :14:46.And you can watch live coverage of President Hollande's news conference

:14:47. > :14:53.this afternoon here on BBC News, from 3:30pm.

:14:54. > :14:58.NHS hospitals in England are still having problems recruiting full-time

:14:59. > :15:02.dock force for Accident Emergency departments. Figures obtained by

:15:03. > :15:07.Labour shows that spending on temporary staff in casualty units

:15:08. > :15:12.has risen by 60% to more than ?80 million a year. Government says it

:15:13. > :15:17.is creating extra training places to tackle the shortage. Here is Jane

:15:18. > :15:25.Draper. It is another busy winter for A Casualty departments are

:15:26. > :15:29.under pressure. And today's figures showing increasing amount of money

:15:30. > :15:34.are being spent on temporary doctors to fill gaps in A More than 100

:15:35. > :15:39.NHS Trusts responded to Labour's free dom of information request. The

:15:40. > :15:45.total spent by those Prosts was almost ?52 million in 2009. It rose

:15:46. > :15:49.to almost ?80 million last year. Temporary doctors are more

:15:50. > :15:53.expensive. They earn as much as ?1,500 a shift. Emergency medicine

:15:54. > :15:58.is very exciting, it is a rewarding career, but it is also a very

:15:59. > :16:01.stressful career as well. A number of the challenges that we have seen

:16:02. > :16:07.in emergency departments over the last few years add it that stress.

:16:08. > :16:12.So it is a very intense speciality. The shortage of A doctors is a

:16:13. > :16:17.long-standing problem, which has built up over ten years. Ministers

:16:18. > :16:24.have announced extra training places but it takes six years to become an

:16:25. > :16:28.A consultant, so hospitals are relying on temporary staff in the

:16:29. > :16:32.meantime. Loenchts locums cost more. But I'm not sure we get the best

:16:33. > :16:36.care when we have A departments staffed by temporary doctors. They

:16:37. > :16:39.don't have the same commitment to those hospitals, they are not there

:16:40. > :16:45.day-in and day-out, like full-time doctors. We end up paying more for a

:16:46. > :16:49.worse service. In the Commons this morning, the Government criticised

:16:50. > :16:53.Labour's record When he was a Minster in the department he failed

:16:54. > :16:56.the make the long-term workforce decisions and signed up to the

:16:57. > :17:01.European quoshg time directive which exacerbated the problems on medical

:17:02. > :17:05.rotas. They were decisions he made. He created this crisis. We are

:17:06. > :17:11.fixing it and increasing the number of doctors working in E. All

:17:12. > :17:14.this comes as casualty units are about to enter their busiest part of

:17:15. > :17:18.winter. Dramatic footage has emerged of the

:17:19. > :17:21.moment an elephant in South Africa overturned a car, driven by a

:17:22. > :17:25.British teacher from Lincolnshire and a man thought to be her partner,

:17:26. > :17:29.who were on a self-drive safari. This is the moment that Sarah Brooks

:17:30. > :17:34.and the man, can be seen driving up closely behind the elephant in the

:17:35. > :17:38.Kruger National Park on December 30th. The elephant, being filmed by

:17:39. > :17:43.another group of tourists in a car behind, stopped for a moment and

:17:44. > :17:46.then turnings on them. It rolled the car over, several times, flattening

:17:47. > :17:50.it. Sarah brction was gored in the leg

:17:51. > :17:55.by one of the animal's tusks. The couple were taken to hospital but

:17:56. > :17:59.later discharged. The park's manager said the animal had to be killed

:18:00. > :18:08.because they couldn't understand its behaviour.

:18:09. > :18:15.The time is coming up to 1.20pm. O Our top story: What it actually is,

:18:16. > :18:27.is beyond description. Trenches, ammunition, tools, caps. 100 years

:20:16. > :20:19.is immensely important. They are the raw material of understanding the

:22:27. > :22:30.the police. The jury was told it began when they left Oxfordshire,

:22:31. > :22:35.where they have a country home, on the 17th July, 2011. Rebekah Brookes

:22:36. > :22:40.was to be interviewed by police in London. At 12.15, her husband

:23:24. > :23:26.That evening, another security man for News International, arrives back

:23:27. > :23:31.in the car park. The prosecution says this bin liner contains the

:23:32. > :23:35.laptop, the bag and the brief case. Mr Brookes wanted them returned, so

:23:36. > :23:38.they are placed back behind the bins.

:23:39. > :23:43.The jury was told a pizza delivery was used as cover for returning the

:24:16. > :24:18.what had happened to the items but car park managers have handed them

:24:19. > :24:21.into the police, sparking the investigation that led to these

:24:22. > :24:26.charges. The prosecution says this sequence

:24:27. > :24:31.of events can only be explained as an attempt, literally to hide

:24:32. > :24:37.evidence from the police. But, Rebekah Brookes Charlie Brookes and

:27:05. > :27:08.Celsius, Melbourne was melting. It is boiling. I'm sweating real bad.

:27:09. > :27:12.Disgusting, it is hot. It is a bit warm. We shouldn't complain. We

:27:13. > :27:17.didn't come here for it to be cold. It is good. Ridiculous. So hot. I'm

:27:18. > :27:21.dripping. Unbearably hot. It was hard enough to stay cool while

:27:22. > :27:26.watching. Imagine playing. One player had fainted and another had

:27:27. > :27:29.vomited before Andy Murray entered the furnace. Even the shade was

:27:30. > :27:35.scorching. So it was best to keep rallies to a minimum, one shot if

:27:36. > :27:40.possible. While Murray's service games were

:27:41. > :27:46.short, much of what his opponent, Go Soeda hit sailed long, forced into

:27:47. > :27:51.mistakes by the relentless miles per houry. First set, 6-1. Murray

:27:52. > :27:56.adapted to the temperatures, apparently fully recovered from his

:27:57. > :28:01.back injury. Murray broke twice and by the third

:28:02. > :28:03.set was conner serving energy, channelling his brilliance into a

:28:04. > :28:09.few telling strokes. That was enough. Soeda faded towardsed the

:28:10. > :28:12.end of the third. Murray through in three mercifully brief sets but

:28:13. > :28:16.should they have been allowed to play? If something bad happened to

:28:17. > :28:22.one of the players, they would change the rules and obviously the

:28:23. > :28:26.same today, there were guys fainting and people in the stands fainting.

:28:27. > :28:30.It is really, really tough challenging conditions. I don't

:28:31. > :28:34.know, even what the heat rule is. None of the players really do.

:28:35. > :28:39.Organisers say a relatively low humidity made playing safe. Murray

:28:40. > :28:43.meanwhile signs on with a win, having made the uncomfortable,

:28:44. > :28:48.comfortable: The weather now with Alex.

:28:49. > :28:58.Let's take it it down by about 40 degrees. There were some freezing

:28:59. > :29:01.temperatures this morning. This picture shows rivers are still

:29:02. > :29:05.swollen. Some rain in the forecast but not downpours we have seen in

:29:06. > :29:09.recent weeks. For most places it is lovely this afternoon, with hazy

:29:10. > :29:12.sunshine to enjoy. For most places, always one or two exceptions. There

:29:13. > :29:16.is cloud spilling in from the west. That's already bringing rain into

:29:17. > :29:19.County Fermanagh, Tyrone and Londonderry. That rain will continue

:29:20. > :29:23.to trickle across eastern parts of Northern Ireland over the next few

:29:24. > :29:27.hours. Rain into Pembrokeshire, and Devon and Cornwall, too. For most,

:29:28. > :29:30.dry and bright this afternoon. One or two scattered showers still

:29:31. > :29:34.across the east of Scotland, they are fading away. There is still fog

:29:35. > :29:37.patches through the central belt of Scotland, where the fog sticks,

:29:38. > :29:40.temperatures struggling to get above freezing. Always feels cold in

:29:41. > :29:45.Northern Ireland, so the rain arrives through the rest of today.

:29:46. > :29:50.But for the bulk of England and Wales, staying dry in the sunshine

:29:51. > :29:54.across the Midlands and East Anglia and the south-east, temperatures 6

:29:55. > :29:58.or 7. Sunshine is disappearing over Wales and south-west England with

:29:59. > :30:04.rain arriving, the rain will spread to most areas overnight. The breeze

:30:05. > :30:07.will pick up, too, as the weather arrives, some snow over hills of

:30:08. > :30:11.northern England and hills of Scotland. Not as much as we were

:30:12. > :30:15.thinking yesterday but a bit of snow over the Grampians. It'll be mostly

:30:16. > :30:18.rain we'll see as temperatures will be climbing, we are frost-free by

:30:19. > :30:23.dawn. The weather front bringing the rain is also bringing milder air,

:30:24. > :30:27.moving around an area of low pressure, sucking up the warm air

:30:28. > :30:30.from France, Spain and Portugal. The cold air across Scandinavia where

:30:31. > :30:34.temperatures are well below freezing. We will be well above in

:30:35. > :30:38.the morning but it will be a different morning. Not the sparkling

:30:39. > :30:42.sunshine. A dull start. Outbreaks of rain across the east will clear away

:30:43. > :30:45.and bands of showery rain will work into western areas. Northern Ireland

:30:46. > :30:48.looking brighter tomorrow afternoon. Where we see brightness in the east

:30:49. > :30:52.tomorrow afternoon, temperatures could be aes high as 13. For most

:30:53. > :30:57.places nine or ten, so milder than today, certainly but it will be a

:30:58. > :31:00.rather drab affair. More cloud and showers to come really for the rest

:31:01. > :31:02.of the week. This area of low pressure is still in control of our

:31:03. > :31:06.weather. Not the same beast as the lows we have seen over recent weeks,

:31:07. > :31:09.it'll provide a lot of cloud and bands of showers across the country

:31:10. > :31:12.and it'll continue to feed in southerly winds. Still on the mild

:31:13. > :31:16.side on Thursday, with showers and some drier spells and that's how we

:31:17. > :31:19.go into Friday and the weekend with a stiff breeze and a few showers but

:31:20. > :31:23.some dry spells, too. Thank you very much.
