:01:32. > :01:37.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. The former News of
:01:38. > :01:40.the World editor, Rebekah Brooks, has told the Old Bailey that she
:01:41. > :01:44.didn't know phone hacking was illegal when she was in charge of
:01:45. > :01:48.the paper and she said she never sanctioned it. Mrs Brooks said she
:01:49. > :01:51.wasn't aware of a request by a journalist to illegally access to
:01:52. > :01:55.vows mails of the missing schoolgirl Mully Dowler in 2002. She says the
:01:56. > :02:00.first time she had heard the phone had been hacked was in 2011. Our
:02:01. > :02:03.Home Affairs correspondent, Tom Symonds is at the Old Bailey for us
:02:04. > :02:08.now. In the last hour, the questioning
:02:09. > :02:11.has turned to that, arguably the most controversial episode in the
:02:12. > :02:17.phone hacking affair. Rebekah Brooks was the boss of the newspaper in
:02:18. > :02:23.2002 when someone illegally accessed the phone messages of the missing
:02:24. > :02:26.schoolgirl, Milly Dowler. Milly Dowler's disappearance,
:02:27. > :02:31.abduction and murder is among the most horrifying crimes of recent
:02:32. > :02:35.decades and a huge media story and in 2002, the News of the World was
:02:36. > :02:40.among the newspapers pursuing it. On April 14th, the paper published this
:02:41. > :02:43.story, that Milly had phoned an employment agency looking for work.
:02:44. > :02:47.It was wrong. But it had been obtained through phone hacking of
:02:48. > :02:51.voice mail messages left on her phone in error. Rebekah Brooks
:02:52. > :02:54.giving her third day of evidence was the editor of the News of the World
:02:55. > :02:59.at the time but denies having anything to do with the hacking.
:03:00. > :03:04.In fact, the courts heard she was on holiday in Dubai and her deputy Andy
:03:05. > :03:08.Coulson was in charge. She was asked by her barrister,
:03:09. > :03:11.Jonathan Laidlaw QC, did she know anything about the decision to
:03:12. > :03:18.access the voice mails, a decision made by a News of the World
:03:19. > :03:20.journalist. She said, no, I didn't. Earlier, she'd been asked business
:03:21. > :03:31.Mr Laidlaw: She was asked would it be a useful
:03:32. > :03:42.thing to do. She admitted knowing the technique
:03:43. > :03:50.of hacking was possible and what did she think about it, she was asked.
:03:51. > :03:56.She said. : Both she and Andy Coulson deny
:03:57. > :03:59.conspireing to hack mobile phones. And returning to Milly Dowler,
:04:00. > :04:03.Rebekah Brooks has said she only found out about that phone hacking
:04:04. > :04:08.in 2011 and she says that when she did, her reaction was one of shock
:04:09. > :04:12.and horror. She said it was "pretty abhorrent". She's also said that she
:04:13. > :04:15.felt the use of phone hacking, although she didn't know it was
:04:16. > :04:19.illegal, would have been a serious breach of privacy.
:04:20. > :04:23.Thank you. The Deputy Leader of the Labour
:04:24. > :04:26.Party, Harriet Harman, has issued a partial apology for links the
:04:27. > :04:30.between an organisation she used to work for and a pro-paedophile
:04:31. > :04:36.campaign group. She said she regrets that the Paedophile Information
:04:37. > :04:38.Exchange was allowed to afilliate to the National Council for Civil
:04:39. > :04:43.Liberties before she began to work for it. Our Political Correspondent,
:04:44. > :04:46.Vicki Young, reports. She's the most senior woman in the
:04:47. > :04:50.Labour Party and for over 30 years, Harriet Harman's been a high profile
:04:51. > :04:53.figure at the heart of British politics, earning a reputation as an
:04:54. > :04:57.ardent campaigner on equal rights. But now she's having to answer
:04:58. > :05:03.questions about her work as a legal adviser in the '70s for a civil
:05:04. > :05:06.liberties group that had links to a paedophile organise zaik. Miss
:05:07. > :05:10.Harman's repeatedly refused to say whether it was a mistake for the
:05:11. > :05:13.National Council for Civil Liberties to afilliate the Paedophile
:05:14. > :05:17.Information Exchange, a group that spoke positively about adults who
:05:18. > :05:22.were attracted to children. Today she insisted she had nothing
:05:23. > :05:25.to apologise for but... It was regrettable that they even existed
:05:26. > :05:30.and regrettable that they had newing to do with NCCL ever but it's not
:05:31. > :05:35.true that to influence my work at the time I was at NCCL or that I've
:05:36. > :05:38.ever apologised for or colluded with peedle fill ya because that is the
:05:39. > :05:44.smear. The Daily Mail has focus on the
:05:45. > :05:46.Harriet Harman, her MP his Jack Dromey and former Cabinet Minister
:05:47. > :05:51.Patricia Hewitt who all worked alet the NCCL. The paper denies it's
:05:52. > :05:55.unfairly singling out the Labour politicians. When we looked into the
:05:56. > :05:59.archive, there were pages and pages and pages and it's all the more
:06:00. > :06:04.remarkable that a woman of such high office never saw once fit to say, I
:06:05. > :06:09.don't think this can be right, how on earth can we be associated with
:06:10. > :06:15.such a devious, wicked organisation. No smear, no vendetta, it's just the
:06:16. > :06:19.repetition of a fact and a question. Labour's Deputy Leader is clearly
:06:20. > :06:26.furious. In a Tweet, she's hit out at the newspaper's own coverage:
:06:27. > :06:32.Alongside a photo of girls in bikinis that was. Harriet Harman's
:06:33. > :06:37.intervention is unlikely to be the end of this matter.
:06:38. > :06:40.Our chief Political Correspondent, Norman Smith, is at Westminster. So,
:06:41. > :06:44.so this a battle between Harriet Harman and the Daily Mail or does it
:06:45. > :06:49.have much wider significance? My sense Sophie is this goes way
:06:50. > :06:55.beyond a row about newspaper headlines or smears, as Miss Harman
:06:56. > :06:57.regards them into a storm about Miss Harman's political judgment and a
:06:58. > :07:01.looming storm about whether the Labour Party is on the cusp of an
:07:02. > :07:05.all out war with the Daily Mail. On the former, I know many of Miss
:07:06. > :07:12.Harman's colleagues, friends even, have been appalled, aghast, by her
:07:13. > :07:15.repeated refusal to apologise. One former Labour Cabinet Minister I
:07:16. > :07:21.spoke to earlier shook his head in despair at her response, a situation
:07:22. > :07:25.made even worse by the fact that the current Head of The civil rights
:07:26. > :07:30.group has spoken of her horror and disgust at the situation. So there
:07:31. > :07:33.are questions about Miss Harman's judgment and the way she's responded
:07:34. > :07:36.to this whole story, but it goes further than that because she's
:07:37. > :07:41.escalated it by going on the offensive against the Daily Mail, in
:07:42. > :07:45.effect accusing them of pandering to paedophiles by publishing pictures
:07:46. > :07:49.of young girls in bikinis and then for good measure Tweeting a picture
:07:50. > :07:54.of some of these offending pictures. Now, what we don't know is whether
:07:55. > :07:57.team Miliband are going to row in behind Miss Harman or whether they
:07:58. > :08:03.are going to leave her to slug it out on her own with the Daily Mail.
:08:04. > :08:07.But we know that Ed Miliband has unfinished business with the Daily
:08:08. > :08:13.Mail following their claims last year that his father hated Britain.
:08:14. > :08:17.So it may be that we are on the cusp of an all out war between Ed
:08:18. > :08:20.Miliband and the Labour Party and one of Britain's most unfluent usual
:08:21. > :08:23.newspapers. Thank you very much.
:08:24. > :08:27.Police in the West Midlands have arrested a British man who was held
:08:28. > :08:31.at Guantanamo Bay for nearly three years. 45-year-old Moazzam Begg,
:08:32. > :08:34.from Birmingham, is among four people being questioned on suspicion
:08:35. > :08:40.of terrorist offences linked to Syria. Mr Begg, released from
:08:41. > :08:44.Guantanamo in 2005, is facing allegations of attending a terrorist
:08:45. > :08:49.training camp and facilitating terrorism overseas. Here is our Home
:08:50. > :08:54.Affairs correspondent, June Kelly. It was at this address in Hall Green
:08:55. > :08:59.in Birmingham that police arrested Moazzam Begg. He was one of four
:09:00. > :09:03.people detaunted in the City in a Syria related Counter-Terrorism
:09:04. > :09:07.operation. 45-year-old Moazzam Begg is a
:09:08. > :09:13.well-known campaigner, commentator and former Guantanamo Bay detauntee.
:09:14. > :09:17.He was moved there by the Americans after originally being arrested in
:09:18. > :09:22.Pakistan in 2002. They accused him of having links to three extremist
:09:23. > :09:27.organisations including Al-Qaeda. Moazzam Begg has always denied this.
:09:28. > :09:33.Together with three other Britons, he was released from Guantanamo in
:09:34. > :09:36.2005. Back in the UK, he was held by British police and then released
:09:37. > :09:41.without charge. For years, Moazzam Begg has been a
:09:42. > :09:47.leading figure in campaign group Countryside Agency which helps those
:09:48. > :09:49.deteenaged and -- Cage which helps those detained and their families.
:09:50. > :09:54.There is been a string of arrests in the UK.
:09:55. > :09:57.This footage recently emerged of Mr Majid from Crawley, said to have
:09:58. > :10:03.blown himself up in a suicide bomb attack on a prison.
:10:04. > :10:06.Moazzam Begg has spoken of how he has visited Syria. Now he's being
:10:07. > :10:10.questioned by Counter-Terrorism detectives on suspicion of attending
:10:11. > :10:17.a terrorist training camp and facilitating terrorism there.
:10:18. > :10:20.Our Home Affairs correspondent, is here with me now. How much more do
:10:21. > :10:25.we know about his trips to Syria? Yes. Moazzam Begg has spoken quite
:10:26. > :10:29.clearly about these trips, he says they were part of his investigations
:10:30. > :10:33.into allegations of complicity and torture. West Midlands Police say
:10:34. > :10:38.the arrests are squarely focussed on allegations of activity in Syria,
:10:39. > :10:41.nothing to do with the UK. But the part of a pattern of behaviour from
:10:42. > :10:45.the police we have seen has increased in the last few weeks. We
:10:46. > :10:49.have had about 16 arrests for allegations of terrorism related to
:10:50. > :10:54.Syria since January, that compares to about 24 I think it is of last
:10:55. > :10:58.year, so there's been a real change. The Security Services are very
:10:59. > :11:00.worried about a small number of people who're going to fight. There
:11:01. > :11:03.are hundreds of people going to Syria to deliver aid, but the
:11:04. > :11:06.Security Service is concerned about people who're going to fight and
:11:07. > :11:09.that's what this appears to be related to. They are trying to
:11:10. > :11:13.investigate. The police have about 14 days to decide whether to release
:11:14. > :11:17.or charge Moazzam Begg. Thank you very much.
:11:18. > :11:21.A South African judge has ruled that the trial of Olympic athlete, Oscar
:11:22. > :11:27.Pistorius, will be televised but only in parts. The athlete admits
:11:28. > :11:31.shooting his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, at his home in Pretoria
:11:32. > :11:34.over a year ago but he says he mistook her for an intruder. The
:11:35. > :11:38.trial starts next Monday and is likely to last several weeks. Our
:11:39. > :11:43.correspondent is in Pretoria. How much of this trial will actually
:11:44. > :11:51.been broadcast? Yes. What we know from judge dues
:11:52. > :11:56.tan that limit but is that the opening and closing arguments will
:11:57. > :12:02.be televised on TV live during the trial, including the judgment. What
:12:03. > :12:06.the judge then said is, the conditions such as three cameras
:12:07. > :12:12.only allowed and they have to be unmanned, in other words they have
:12:13. > :12:16.to be remotely controlled, stills photographs will be allowed but no
:12:17. > :12:20.flash photography and witnesses who do not want to be filmed will have
:12:21. > :12:24.to put it into writing to the court that they do not want to be filmed.
:12:25. > :12:30.Also the judge made it very clear that there shouldn't be any
:12:31. > :12:35.close-ups of the faces of the people who'd be testifying in court.
:12:36. > :12:39.Milton, thank you very much. One of the biggest chains of state
:12:40. > :12:42.funded academies in England is being stripped of control of nearly a
:12:43. > :12:46.third of its schools. Ofsted inspectors have raised concerns
:12:47. > :12:51.about ten of the schools run by the charity, eE-ACT. Our correspondent,
:12:52. > :12:55.Daniel Boettcher is here with the details. Academies are state funded
:12:56. > :12:58.but independently run, giving them more control over curriculum,
:12:59. > :13:04.finances, the length of the school day, some of them run has individual
:13:05. > :13:09.schools, others are parts of groups or bigger changes and E-ACT is one
:13:10. > :13:13.of the largest, sponsoring 34 academies. It's having to give up
:13:14. > :13:15.control of up to ten of these. We haven't been given the individual
:13:16. > :13:21.reasons but it's known there have been issues of underperformance in
:13:22. > :13:24.some e-Act schools. It's the first time something like this has
:13:25. > :13:29.happened. It's been working with the Department of Education to identify
:13:30. > :13:34.where its best place is to make a significant difference to academies
:13:35. > :13:38.and it's hoped E-ACT can raise the standards in remaining schools. What
:13:39. > :13:41.does it mean for the way they have been supervised? Some concerns have
:13:42. > :13:47.been raised about the speed with which some of these groups have been
:13:48. > :13:50.growing and also their size. The number of academies have been
:13:51. > :13:55.growing rapidly over the past few years. For example, in May, 2010,
:13:56. > :14:00.there were 203 academies, the latest figure is well over 3,500. Labour
:14:01. > :14:05.and some of the teaching unions say that there hasn't been enough
:14:06. > :14:09.supervision and scrutiny and the Head of Ofsted believes that as well
:14:10. > :14:12.as inspecting individual schools, his organisation should also be able
:14:13. > :14:17.to inspect the groups themselves. That is the view also of the Liberal
:14:18. > :14:20.Democrats schools, many David Lawes, but that appears to put him at odds
:14:21. > :14:23.with the Education Secretary, Michael Gove.
:14:24. > :14:27.Thank you very much. The time is very nearly 1. 1.15. Our

:14:32. > :14:34.phone hacking was illegal when she was editor of the News of the World.

:15:12. > :15:16.Fields under several feet of water, crops ruined and livestock moved
:15:17. > :15:19.into barns. Farmers have been hit hard by this winter's flooding and
:15:20. > :15:21.many have said they don't know how they will survive. Now the
:15:22. > :15:27.Government has announced that every farmer affected will be offered
:15:28. > :15:30.grants of up to ?5,000. The immediate response fund will come
:15:31. > :15:41.from the ?10 million already set aside to help farmers caught up in
:15:42. > :15:46.the crisis. Here is our correspondence Sarah Ransome. It has
:15:47. > :15:50.been like this for months, thousands of acres feet deep underwater and
:15:51. > :15:56.little prospect of it going anywhere any time soon. Homes and businesses
:15:57. > :16:02.flooded, livestock moved, many farmers struggling to survive. It
:16:03. > :16:08.has been a terrible time. On a day like today Heather's cattle should
:16:09. > :16:13.be out in the fields, but there are no fields left for them to go into.
:16:14. > :16:20.Record-breaking rainfall with long-term, heartbreaking results. We
:16:21. > :16:25.cannot farm underwater, so it is a huge problem. It is not like people
:16:26. > :16:30.whose houses have gone, it is a longer term problem. It is
:16:31. > :16:34.devastating for them, but this is years of recovery. Today the
:16:35. > :16:39.Government outlined a crisis package to repair flood defences and for
:16:40. > :16:45.farmers like Heather what money is on offer from a new ?10 million fund
:16:46. > :16:51.to help them get back on their feet. It may sound a lot, but some are
:16:52. > :16:55.concerned the pot is too small. Is it too small, but it is welcome to
:16:56. > :17:01.the farming industry. We need to assess where that need is and make
:17:02. > :17:06.sure the right people get the help they need. We will assess the upper
:17:07. > :17:11.limit for grants and keep the scheme under constant review to ensure it
:17:12. > :17:17.remains flexible and targeted at those in greatest need. Back on the
:17:18. > :17:21.farm Heather is doing her best to cope. Like everyone else she has no
:17:22. > :17:26.idea how long that will be fought and when the water eventually does
:17:27. > :17:32.go down and the clear upstarts, they are hoping these political promises
:17:33. > :17:42.don't simply drain away. How have farmers reacted to the Government's
:17:43. > :17:45.latest offer of help? The farmers I have spoken to today
:17:46. > :17:47.on the Somerset Levels are pleased the Government announced this new
:17:48. > :17:50.tranche of money available to them a couple of weeks ago. But they say
:17:51. > :17:54.their real concern is whether there will be too much red tape, whether
:17:55. > :17:59.it will take too long to find its way into their bank accounts once
:18:00. > :18:03.they apply for it. They are most concerned about whether the money
:18:04. > :18:08.goes to the people who really need it. They say it is imperative
:18:09. > :18:13.someone overseas this and someone is in charge of making sure the money
:18:14. > :18:19.goes where it is needed and when it is needed and quickly. They say
:18:20. > :18:22.there is no point hanging around, because a farmer needs the money
:18:23. > :18:28.straightaway. But you can see behind me some of the water that is still
:18:29. > :18:31.here and some farms are feet deep underwater and it will be some time
:18:32. > :18:36.before some farmers work out how much money they will need. Ministers
:18:37. > :18:39.from the US and Britain are due to meet later today to discuss an
:18:40. > :18:42.emergency package of economic aid to save Ukraine from bankruptcy. It
:18:43. > :18:47.follows the weeks of protests that led to the ousting of President
:18:48. > :18:51.Victor Yanukovych. But Russia is warning against forcing Ukraine to
:18:52. > :18:58.choose between East and West. Our diplomatic correspondent Bridget
:18:59. > :19:04.Kendall is in Moscow. It seems they are watching events in Ukraine very
:19:05. > :19:08.nervously in Russia. Yes, that is the case. If you read the Russian
:19:09. > :19:13.press, it paints a terrifying picture of virtual anarchy, armed
:19:14. > :19:18.groups roaming the streets and setting fire to buildings and
:19:19. > :19:23.toppling statues. The Russian Government has had some very harsh
:19:24. > :19:27.rhetoric when it questioned the legitimacy of the new authorities
:19:28. > :19:30.and said Russians' interests were being threatened. Today there was a
:19:31. > :19:38.different message from the Russian Foreign Minister. They seem to have
:19:39. > :19:43.taken their time and thought, and he said they had to choose between East
:19:44. > :19:47.and West, but Russia would not intervene in the affairs of another
:19:48. > :19:52.country. He also said Moscow would wait to see what the new Government,
:19:53. > :19:55.due to be announced on Thursday, what it is made and what their
:19:56. > :20:00.policies are and whether they could end the violence and restore law and
:20:01. > :20:05.order and reach out to other groups in Ukraine, particularly to the

:20:10. > :20:14.Russia would take part in a donor conference which has been talk about
:20:15. > :20:18.in Western capitals to get together a bailout plan to save Ukraine's
:20:19. > :20:23.economy from collapse, he did not rule that out. There are mixed
:20:24. > :20:28.messages coming from Moscow. My suspicion is they are still trying
:20:29. > :20:32.to work out what their policy should be. The lives of more than half a
:20:33. > :20:38.million babies around the world could be saved every year if mothers
:20:39. > :20:47.had access to a trained midwife. A report from Save the Children says
:20:48. > :20:49.in many countries access to a skilled midwife is limited. In 2012,
:20:50. > :20:53.40 million women around the world gave birth without a trained health
:20:54. > :20:58.worker present. 2.9 million babies died within 28 days. Of these, 1
:20:59. > :21:04.million babies died on their first day of life. One of the worst
:21:05. > :21:09.countries for newborn deaths is South Sudan. George Alagiah is
:21:10. > :21:16.therefore as now. You join us in the maternity ward. It may not look like
:21:17. > :21:19.much, but this hospital, this unit, has got the best reputation in the
:21:20. > :21:25.country for looking after mothers and their babies. This lady had a
:21:26. > :21:31.baby a couple of days ago and it was a very complicated birth, but both
:21:32. > :21:35.mother and baby are doing fine. That would not have been the case
:21:36. > :21:41.anywhere else outside in South Sudan. It has got a terrible record.
:21:42. > :21:44.You might be able to hear some of the crying. There has been a baby
:21:45. > :21:50.delivered just in the last few minutes. It is a very different
:21:51. > :21:59.situation outside. One in seven women in this country, rather one in
:22:00. > :22:07.seven stand a chance of dying during pregnancy. This is the matron at the
:22:08. > :22:11.hospital. Stella, you have got a tough job, but it is made even
:22:12. > :22:19.tougher by the fighting that started last December. Yes, the crisis in
:22:20. > :22:29.South Sudan has added a lot to our staff here. In December we had 237
:22:30. > :22:38.admissions in the maternity for different medical illnesses and we
:22:39. > :22:45.had 129 deliveries and 13 Caesarean sections and two stillbirths and two
:22:46. > :22:51.premature and one death. So a very tough time, but you and your staff
:22:52. > :22:56.are doing a very good job. Yes, they are doing a good job, but it is very
:22:57. > :23:02.hard for them. There are only eight midwives working here in maternity
:23:03. > :23:08.and we have another DOS working in child health. Stella, thank you very
:23:09. > :23:15.much. There are ten midwives in this hospital. In the country there are
:23:16. > :23:19.just 300 midwives for a population of 10 million people. You can
:23:20. > :23:24.imagine what challenges these people, people like Stella, phase.
:23:25. > :23:29.But the report from Save the Children says it would not take much
:23:30. > :23:33.in the way of commitment from leaders to turn around the
:23:34. > :23:37.situation. There has been progress and there are beacons of hope like
:23:38. > :23:40.this hospital. Maths teachers in England are being
:23:41. > :23:44.urged to be more like their counterparts in Shanghai. Recent
:23:45. > :23:46.figures suggest pupils in the Chinese city are three years ahead
:23:47. > :23:49.of English schoolchildren when it comes to maths. But critics argue
:23:50. > :23:51.that Shanghai schools only get such good results because many children
:23:52. > :24:03.are excluded and educated separately. John Sudworth reports
:24:04. > :24:09.from Shanghai. If only English children were this clever. Education
:24:10. > :24:15.Minister Elizabeth Truss is here to find out how Shanghai does it. It is
:24:16. > :24:21.a system in which hard work and long study hours pay off. In maths,
:24:22. > :24:26.according to the rankings, the city's 15-year-olds are three years
:24:27. > :24:32.ahead of their UK counterparts. But rather than something to be emulated
:24:33. > :24:38.critics suggest the system here is deeply flawed. China's strict
:24:39. > :24:44.residency rules mean a huge number of the most disadvantaged students
:24:45. > :24:50.are missing from this picture. A city of 23 million people should,
:24:51. > :24:56.according to the global average, have almost 300,015 -year-olds. But
:24:57. > :25:02.Shanghai has only a little more than 100,000. This, the critics argue,
:25:03. > :25:06.cannot be explained purely by the low birth rate. Many thousands of
:25:07. > :25:12.15-year-olds appear to have vanished into thin air. Students like this
:25:13. > :25:17.14-year-old. Her parents are migrants, but despite having lived
:25:18. > :25:21.and worked in Shanghai for nine years, they do not have full
:25:22. > :25:27.residency papers so she cannot go to a Shanghai high school. There is
:25:28. > :25:32.nothing we can do about it, her dad says, my daughter is having to leave
:25:33. > :25:36.Shanghai not because she wants to do, but because of the system.
:25:37. > :25:42.Elizabeth Truss is convinced there is much to learn from Shanghai.
:25:43. > :25:47.There is a strong belief maths gets you everywhere and it is an
:25:48. > :25:52.important subject and everybody can achieve in maths. Secondly, it is
:25:53. > :25:56.the focus on the core basics, so making sure every student gets
:25:57. > :26:03.arithmetic, they can do their times tables and long division. But there
:26:04. > :26:08.are other criticisms. Chinese pupils complain about how highly
:26:09. > :26:13.pressurised this system is. Finally, one British export
:26:14. > :26:17.customers abroad cannot seem to get enough of is our television with
:26:18. > :26:22.shows like Paddington Kirby and the great British bake of getting an
:26:23. > :26:25.ever bigger slice of the international cake. Old favourites
:26:26. > :26:33.like Top Gear are often a little bit different in their new homes. The
:26:34. > :26:42.man speaking fluent Farsi is of course Jeremy Clarkson. The joke
:26:43. > :26:47.about Loughborough might lose something in translation, but Iran
:26:48. > :26:53.is rather partial to Top Gear. And in French because they are making a
:26:54. > :27:00.cake. What is number one in British TV in Finland? It is Benton Abbey.
:27:01. > :27:04.Thomas has come here to buy TV for Finland, a place where Doctor Who
:27:05. > :27:12.has not taken off and an old, British peace programme has.
:27:13. > :27:17.Heartbeat from ITV. The audience she is absolutely amazing. TV is
:27:18. > :27:23.becoming increasingly globalised and if you want to go shopping, you come
:27:24. > :27:29.to events like this. This event began in 37 years ago and it was in
:27:30. > :27:37.a small hotel in Brighton and there were 37 people. Now we have row
:27:38. > :27:41.after row, 600 booths, 720 buyers, all watching television ten hours a
:27:42. > :27:47.day, determining what the world is going to be watching on TV. It is
:27:48. > :27:53.global producers creating global brands and then adapting them. Take
:27:54. > :28:01.Strictly Come Dancing, unlike Britain in India there are no cruel
:28:02. > :28:08.judges. The judges tend to be on the more positive side, so there is less
:28:09. > :28:12.criticism. I was watching a version of it in Panama and found even in
:28:13. > :28:18.week one and the judges were handed out tens. US programming is
:28:19. > :28:23.suffering at the moment. No matter how good it is and you put it on the
:28:24. > :28:27.schedule, the figures are quite low. I don't know, that is something I
:28:28. > :28:33.have discussed with colleagues all over Europe and everybody is feeling
:28:34. > :28:38.the same. The new power in the Middle East is Turkey and the new
:28:39. > :28:44.market everyone wants to break is China. This is Masterchef. But the
:28:45. > :28:50.biggest stir has been made by this man, Sherlock. These are the
:28:51. > :28:56.world's most powerful TV viewers. A tear or a smile on these faces and
:28:57. > :29:03.it could be very big news. Time now for a look at the weather.
:29:04. > :29:09.I am not sure we could export the British weather at the moment. The
:29:10. > :29:14.last of the overnight rain is clearing away from eastern areas.
:29:15. > :29:19.Following on behind are more showers which are pushing away and our
:29:20. > :29:27.attention now is to the west where we have got these heavy showers
:29:28. > :29:32.coming in. But it is showers and not constant rain and there will be some
:29:33. > :29:36.sunshine around as well. But the showers are coming with blustery
:29:37. > :29:42.winds and there is a chance of hail and thunder as well. This is three
:29:43. > :29:50.o'clock this afternoon. The odd shower pops up and they are very hit
:29:51. > :29:55.and miss in nature. Where we had 15 degrees yesterday, it is closer to
:29:56. > :30:00.ten today. Sunshine amongst the showers in the East Midlands, East
:30:01. > :30:04.Anglia and Lincolnshire. But they are working their way across England
:30:05. > :30:11.and Scotland and there is some snow on the hills. Gusts of 40 or 50
:30:12. > :30:17.miles an hour or so in western Scotland and in the Irish Sea and
:30:18. > :30:22.the showers head into Wales and south-west England. But once you
:30:23. > :30:27.have had a shower it will move out of the way. They are moving east and
:30:28. > :30:32.it is a process that continues for a time this evening before they fade
:30:33. > :30:40.away. Many of us will be dry with clear spells. Where it is dry and
:30:41. > :30:46.the skies are clear it will be a cold night and last night, but not
:30:47. > :30:50.many of us getting all the way down to freezing. In the early morning
:30:51. > :30:55.showers in northern Ireland and they will move across western Scotland.
:30:56. > :31:00.To the south there is plenty of dry and sunny weather to be had.
:31:01. > :31:07.Brightening up in Northern Ireland and temperatures are close to
:31:08. > :31:11.normal. There is another Atlantic weather system coming on Wednesday
:31:12. > :31:16.night and into Thursday morning, but again it is quick moving. The rain
:31:17. > :31:23.totals do not have time to add up because it is out of the way by
:31:24. > :31:27.Thursday morning. A little bit cooler by Friday and into the
:31:28. > :31:33.weekend there are still some showers around. More details on the website
:31:34. > :31:39.and you can find out how some rain is heading to California to help out
:31:40. > :31:42.with the drought. The main story: Rebekah Brooks said she did not know
