:00:09. > :00:13.in Northern Ireland over the murder in 1972 of a mother of ten. Mr Adams

:00:14. > :00:15.denies any involvement in the killing of Jean McConville, a

:00:16. > :00:23.37-year-old widow who was abducted and shot by the IRA. We'll have the

:00:24. > :00:25.latest from outside the police station where the Sinn Fein leader

:00:26. > :00:30.is being held. Also this lunchtime: Police may not

:00:31. > :00:34.be recording a fifth of all crime. The Home Secretary calls it

:00:35. > :00:36."unacceptable". A 15-year-old schoolboy appears in

:00:37. > :00:41.court charged with murdering Leeds teacher Ann Maguire.

:00:42. > :00:45.How that funny turn could be more dangerous than you think. A new

:00:56. > :00:58.Kate and Gerry McCann speak to the BBC seven years on from the

:00:59. > :01:06.disappearance of their daughter Madeleine. That is the last place we

:01:07. > :01:11.were with Madeleine and I still walk those streets and try and look for

:01:12. > :01:14.answers. On BBC London: Poor patient safety, the Berkshire Hospital trust

:01:15. > :01:16.put in special measures. And after the devastating floods what repairs

:01:17. > :01:40.are needed to the River Mole? Good afternoon and welcome to the

:01:41. > :01:43.BBC News at One. The Sinn Fein leader, Gerry Adams, is still being

:01:44. > :01:47.questioned in connection with one of the most notorious murders of the

:01:48. > :01:50.Northern Ireland Troubles. He was detained yesterday evening after

:01:51. > :01:53.agreeing to go to Antrim police station voluntarily for questioning

:01:54. > :01:59.about the abduction and shooting of Jean McConville in 1972. She was

:02:00. > :02:02.dragged from the family home in West Belfast in front of her children.

:02:03. > :02:06.Her body remained undiscovered for more than thirty years. Our Ireland

:02:07. > :02:15.correspondent Chris Buckler is in Antrim.

:02:16. > :02:19.Gerry Adams spent the night at Antrim police station and he

:02:20. > :02:23.continues to be questioned this lunchtime about claims and

:02:24. > :02:27.allegations linking him to Jean McConville's murder. That is

:02:28. > :02:33.something he has always denied. He has also accused pleads of playing

:02:34. > :02:37.politics in terms of the timing of his arrest. Nonetheless Jean

:02:38. > :02:43.McConville's family say they welcome any investigation into their

:02:44. > :02:48.mother's murder. In the 1970s divisions were obvious

:02:49. > :02:52.in Belfast. As was the IRA's influence in the Republic part of

:02:53. > :02:58.the city. It was the organisation that had the capacity to be both

:02:59. > :03:02.ruthless and vicious. Among the most notorious murders committed by

:03:03. > :03:06.republican paramilitaries were those of the so-called disappeared, people

:03:07. > :03:11.who were abducted and killed in secret. Jean McConville was one of

:03:12. > :03:15.them. The widowed mother of ten was killed because of false claims she

:03:16. > :03:24.had passed on information to British soldiers. Her children watched as

:03:25. > :03:29.she was dragged from her home. You keep thinking and you keep having

:03:30. > :03:33.dreams about what torture they put our mother through. The current

:03:34. > :03:41.peace investigations into the murder in West Belfast more than 40 years

:03:42. > :03:44.ago are based on part on interviews conducted by former republican

:03:45. > :03:48.paramilitaries. The tapes were recorded to gather and oral history

:03:49. > :03:52.of the troubles at Boston University. Brendan Hughes was one

:03:53. > :03:58.of the interviewees. He was once a close friend of Gerry Adams, but he

:03:59. > :04:03.claims the Sinn Fein's president was involved in Jean McConville's

:04:04. > :04:08.murder. There is only one man gave the order for that woman to be

:04:09. > :04:13.executed. That man is now the head of Sinn Fein. That is something

:04:14. > :04:19.Gerry Adams has always denied, but last night he's placed himself at

:04:20. > :04:26.this PlayStation in Antrim where he was arrested. I am going voluntarily

:04:27. > :04:32.because there has a lengthy and malicious time against me. Jean

:04:33. > :04:37.McConville was killed in 1972, but it is only just over a decade since

:04:38. > :04:41.her remains were discovered at a beach in County Louth. The bodies of

:04:42. > :04:46.some of the disappeared have never been found in spite of digging and

:04:47. > :04:49.searching. They're murderers are part of the dreadful history that

:04:50. > :04:55.continues to haunt. How long can they hold him? Gerry

:04:56. > :05:00.Adams was arrested last night at eight o'clock in Antrim and they

:05:01. > :05:05.have 24 hours to decide to charge or release. However they can extend

:05:06. > :05:10.that to another 24 hour period. Beyond that they would have to apply

:05:11. > :05:15.to a court and technically they could question him for up to 28

:05:16. > :05:20.days, but that is highly unlikely and has never happened in Northern

:05:21. > :05:24.Ireland. But it is very clear the police are treating this as an

:05:25. > :05:30.active investigation and it is worth remembering it is only in March they

:05:31. > :05:36.arrested a man and charged him, Ivor Bell, in connection with aiding and

:05:37. > :05:39.abetting the murder in 1972. There will be more on that story

:05:40. > :05:41.throughout the afternoon on the BBC News Channel. A 15-year-old boy has

:05:42. > :05:46.been remanded in News Channel. A 15-year-old boy has

:05:47. > :05:47.teacher who was stabbed to death at Corpus Christi Catholic College in

:05:48. > :05:49.Leeds on Corpus Christi Catholic College in

:05:50. > :06:00.Danny Savage is in Leeds. It was the briefest of court

:06:01. > :06:06.hearings today lasting just two minutes. During that time the

:06:07. > :06:11.15-year-old schoolboy said yes four times as he answered questions about

:06:12. > :06:15.his name, date of birth and address. He was also asked if he understood

:06:16. > :06:21.the charge he faces, that of murdering Ann Maguire. Among those

:06:22. > :06:26.who came to court this morning were Ann Maguire's husband and two

:06:27. > :06:29.daughters, ushered in by police officers. Also in the courtroom

:06:30. > :06:36.where the 15-year-old schoolboy's parents who he nodded at as they

:06:37. > :06:40.came in. The teenager was wearing a plaster cast on his right arm and

:06:41. > :06:47.Ann Maguire's husband looked at him intently throughout. Don Maguire and

:06:48. > :06:51.his family have also released their first statement, describing his wife

:06:52. > :06:56.as they're beautiful, shining light, who brightened the world for so

:06:57. > :07:01.many. A loving wife, the best mother, a treasured sister, a true

:07:02. > :07:08.friend. This horrific happening has robbed us of all of this and so much

:07:09. > :07:11.more. We are devastated. All the tributes and messages outside the

:07:12. > :07:15.school have not gone unnoticed by the family. They say they are

:07:16. > :07:29.overwhelmed by the support and it has been a source of great comfort

:07:30. > :07:32.at this dark time. And this dark time saw them in a courtroom today

:07:33. > :07:35.face to face with the child accused of murdering a teacher too many, but

:07:36. > :07:38.a wife and mother to them. The next stage will be tomorrow morning when

:07:39. > :07:43.the 15-year-old boy appears at Leeds Crown Court by video link from a

:07:44. > :07:47.secure youth custody suite. That will be in front of a judge tomorrow

:07:48. > :07:50.morning. A fifth of crimes in England and

:07:51. > :07:54.Wales, amounting to hundreds of thousands of offences, may be going

:07:55. > :07:57.unrecorded by police. A report by HM Inspectorate of Constabulary said an

:07:58. > :08:01.inspection of thirteen forces found that fourteen rapes hadn't been

:08:02. > :08:02.registered by officers. Our Home Affairs Correspondent June Kelly

:08:03. > :08:13.reports. Affairs Correspondent June Kelly

:08:14. > :08:15.Recorded crime in England and Wales is continuing to fall, that was the

:08:16. > :08:24.message from the official figures. But how accurate are those figures?

:08:25. > :08:29.Today's report says after people have reported crime the police may

:08:30. > :08:34.be failing to log 20% of those offences. Inspectors looked at 13

:08:35. > :08:39.forces and they found significant under recording of crime, including

:08:40. > :08:46.serious sexual offences. 14 rapes were not recorded and there was a

:08:47. > :08:51.lack of focus on victims. Victims are not being believed. They are not

:08:52. > :08:55.getting the services they are entitled to and they are not getting

:08:56. > :09:02.justice and the community is not getting justice. When it comes to

:09:03. > :09:06.why crimes are not being recorded, the report blames weak management, a

:09:07. > :09:11.lack of training our knowledge and workload pressures and in some cases

:09:12. > :09:13.and ethical conduct by officers. It says we will have

:09:14. > :09:18.and ethical conduct by officers. It figures from all forces to get the

:09:19. > :09:24.complete picture. Ministers meanwhile I'm focusing on a separate

:09:25. > :09:28.set of figures, based on people's experiences of crime. We are in no

:09:29. > :09:34.doubt that crime is falling because we have had an independent survey

:09:35. > :09:39.which has been going since 1981 which shows crime is down way more

:09:40. > :09:44.than 10% under this Government. Labour says the Government should

:09:45. > :09:49.put pressure on forces to improve their systems. Police chiefs insist

:09:50. > :09:55.they are on the case. We are doing a lot of hard work to ensure there is

:09:56. > :09:58.consistency across all forces and we are investigating crimes thoroughly

:09:59. > :10:04.and we will make some mistakes and there are mistakes in this report,

:10:05. > :10:08.but it is not as bad as the picture paints. But this report will add to

:10:09. > :10:11.scepticism about what is the real crime story.

:10:12. > :10:14.A judge has halted a fraud trial claiming the Government's changes to

:10:15. > :10:17.the way barristers are paid is undermining the legal system.

:10:18. > :10:20.Barristers had refused to take on the case because their fees for such

:10:21. > :10:24.long and complex trials have been cut by 30%. Judge Anthony Leonard

:10:25. > :10:27.said there was no realistic prospect of the defendants getting a fair

:10:28. > :10:35.trial. Our home affairs correspondent, Danny Shaw, is with

:10:36. > :10:41.me. It is very unusual for a judge to be this outspoken. Yes, this is a

:10:42. > :10:47.landmark ruling by Judge Anthony Leonard. He has halted the criminal

:10:48. > :10:52.proceedings against five men who are accused of a serious fraud involving

:10:53. > :10:56.land they were allegedly aggressively marketing and selling

:10:57. > :11:01.under false pretences. He has halted that, so the trial will not go

:11:02. > :11:06.ahead. He has made clear the reasons for that is because the men could

:11:07. > :11:10.not get adequate representation in court. Independent barristers would

:11:11. > :11:15.not accept the complex case because their fees have been cut by 30% and

:11:16. > :11:20.barristers employed by the state, the judge said there were not enough

:11:21. > :11:25.of them to be sure that even if the case was put back until next year

:11:26. > :11:29.the trial could go ahead. He said it would be a violation of the process

:11:30. > :11:35.of this Court to delay the trial until next year, so the proceedings

:11:36. > :11:39.have stopped. There will be the possibility of an appeal to the

:11:40. > :11:44.Court of Appeal. Prosecutors have until tomorrow to decide on that.

:11:45. > :11:49.The Ministry of Justice which is pushing through all the cuts to

:11:50. > :11:53.legal aid rates has disputed some of the claims about the cuts and say

:11:54. > :11:59.barristers involved in this case would earn between ?60,000 and

:12:00. > :12:06.?100,000. They saying there were enough barristers available to take

:12:07. > :12:10.it on. The one added point about all this is that this week the

:12:11. > :12:15.defendants were represented in court for free by the Prime Minister's

:12:16. > :12:19.brother, Alexander Cameron. Danny Shaw. There's a warning that

:12:20. > :12:22.thousands of people are putting their lives at risk by dismissing

:12:23. > :12:25.the symptoms of mini-strokes as just "a funny turn". The Stroke

:12:26. > :12:29.Association says one in 12 affected patients will go on to have a major

:12:30. > :12:32.stroke within a week, and it says early treatment could prevent 3,000

:12:33. > :12:39.deaths a year. Our health correspondent Dominic Hughes

:12:40. > :12:43.reports. When a stroke strikes, the damage

:12:44. > :12:49.spreads like a fire in the brain. You have to think and act fast. A

:12:50. > :12:54.series of adverts has been bringing home the devastating impact of a

:12:55. > :12:58.full-blown stroke and how fast treatment can make a huge

:12:59. > :13:01.difference. But thousands of people are missing vital warning signs that

:13:02. > :13:07.could allow them to the danger they face. Two years ago Nicola knew

:13:08. > :13:11.something was not quite right, but she was told the tingling in her

:13:12. > :13:18.arms was probably a trapped nerve. In fact it was a mini stroke and the

:13:19. > :13:23.next day she suffered a serious stroke. Do not ignore the signs. If

:13:24. > :13:28.your body is telling you you have got numbness and tingling, a

:13:29. > :13:34.headache, any form of altered speech, seek medical attention. Each

:13:35. > :13:40.year around 46,000 people in the UK suffer a mini stroke for the first

:13:41. > :13:46.time. One in 12 will have a major stroke within a week, but a survey

:13:47. > :14:03.found one third dismissed their symptoms as a funny turn. The NHS

:14:04. > :14:06.and the Government have done a lot to put in place clinics people can

:14:07. > :14:09.go to swiftly to get their mini strokes sorted. About 80% of people

:14:10. > :14:11.will get help that will make a real difference in terms of avoiding a

:14:12. > :14:14.stroke. Nicola is well on the road to recovery. The Stroke Association

:14:15. > :14:20.says a greater awareness of mini strokes can save thousands of lives.

:14:21. > :14:24.Our top story this lunchtime: The Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams

:14:25. > :14:31.continues to be questioned by police in Northern Ireland over the murder

:14:32. > :14:35.in 1972 of a mother of ten. Still to come: After the disaster down under

:14:36. > :14:40.the England captain Alastair Cook tells his cricketing hero why he is

:14:41. > :14:45.no longer needed. On BBC London: The battle in Barnet,

:14:46. > :14:51.elections will test how privatising services has gone down with voters.

:14:52. > :15:00.And the poster boy of Britpop talks about growing up in east London.

:15:01. > :15:05.seven years ago while on holiday with her family, three-year-old

:15:06. > :15:09.Madeleine McCann disappeared from an apartment in Praia da Luiz in the

:15:10. > :15:12.Algarve. Today, on the eve of the anniversary, her parents gave an

:15:13. > :15:16.emotional interview to the BBC's Fiona Bruce. They spoke of their

:15:17. > :15:19.frustration that the Portuguese police had not agreed to a joint

:15:20. > :15:23.investigation with Scotland Yard. They also talked of their sadness as

:15:24. > :15:28.their daughter's birthday approaches, a milestone that does

:15:29. > :15:32.not get an easier for them. To as it makes sense that the two

:15:33. > :15:36.police forces should work together. To have a more streamlined

:15:37. > :15:41.approach, to avoid duplication and to progress the investigation at a

:15:42. > :15:45.faster pace and not -- I am not sure myself and I have not been given a

:15:46. > :15:49.reason as to why a joint investigation team has been knocked

:15:50. > :15:54.back. The concern we have and that the Metropolitan Police have is at

:15:55. > :15:59.the minute there is almost parallel investigation going on does not make

:16:00. > :16:05.sense. Would you ever go back? I mean, I remember going to Praia da

:16:06. > :16:10.Luiz along with so much of the media around the time when Madeleine was

:16:11. > :16:14.first taken. I do go back. I haven't been since last April, but I do go

:16:15. > :16:18.back for personal reasons. I guess for you it is a chance to be close

:16:19. > :16:22.to her first remark is that how it feels? It is, that is the last place

:16:23. > :16:28.we were with Madeleine and I still walk those streets and I guess try

:16:29. > :16:34.and look for answers or, you know, so it helps me. Most of the time. It

:16:35. > :16:42.is the seventh anniversary on Saturday. How will you mark that?

:16:43. > :16:45.Well, usually it is very quietly. We usually have a small gathering in

:16:46. > :16:50.the village, which we have done for the last so many years will stop we

:16:51. > :16:55.have always said it is actually Madeleine's birthday, which follows

:16:56. > :17:02.soon after really. It is a more difficult day. She would have been

:17:03. > :17:06.11. Yes. How do you mark that? It is hard, really hard. She is not there,

:17:07. > :17:13.we should be celebrating and it is by far the toughest day of our year,

:17:14. > :17:20.I think. Every year. Oh yes, definitely. You think, 11, she is

:17:21. > :17:28.due to start secondary school in September, which is just, you know,

:17:29. > :17:32.it is a long time. What is your best hope of where Madeleine is now?

:17:33. > :17:35.it is a long time. What is your best Because you have always maintained

:17:36. > :17:39.she could be alive. I suppose the scenario, it has not been ruled out,

:17:40. > :17:44.is that Madeleine was taken by someone who wanted to child and she

:17:45. > :17:49.has been loved and cared for. That is I think the best scenario. But of

:17:50. > :17:52.course there are many others. It is a long shot, but if Madeleine is

:17:53. > :17:57.alive, if she could hear you, a long shot, but if Madeleine is

:17:58. > :18:01.would you say to her? We love you, Madeleine. We

:18:02. > :18:06.would you say to her? We love you, we did that very first day and we

:18:07. > :18:17.are waiting for you. We are never going to give up. We will do

:18:18. > :18:18.are waiting for you. We are never with Fiona on the

:18:19. > :18:21.are waiting for you. We are never Doctors and health specialists have

:18:22. > :18:24.sent an open letter to David Cameron, warning an increasing

:18:25. > :18:29.number of families can't afford healthy diet. The letter, from 170

:18:30. > :18:32.members of the Faculty of Public Health, urges the Prime Minister to

:18:33. > :18:36.set up an independent panel to advise on nutrition and hunger in

:18:37. > :18:43.the UK. Our health correspondent Arab -- Adam Brimelow reports.

:18:44. > :18:46.Is hunger and poor health a lasting legacy of economic downturn?

:18:47. > :18:50.Charities and church leaders point to a rapid rise in demand for

:18:51. > :18:55.emergency food aid. In the food banks across south London we are

:18:56. > :18:57.seeing parents, who skip meals so that children can eat, families

:18:58. > :19:00.living on the edge who are that children can eat, families

:19:01. > :19:06.to pay for food and are being referred here, so they can eat and

:19:07. > :19:09.their children can eat. Government figures/purchases of fruit and

:19:10. > :19:14.vegetables have declined, especially in low income households. The

:19:15. > :19:18.faculty's letter, also published in the Lancet, says rising food prices

:19:19. > :19:22.and falling real wages have placed an overwhelming strain on household

:19:23. > :19:26.budgets. It is worried that could leave the damaging legacy. Are

:19:27. > :19:30.concerned that if current trends go on and we are going to have a

:19:31. > :19:35.malnourished generation and you only grow up once. Your development is

:19:36. > :19:39.for ever. It is the protection, particularly of children growing up

:19:40. > :19:43.now, that we have to be concerned about. The faculty argues an

:19:44. > :19:47.independent group of experts could offer reliable and trusted advice

:19:48. > :19:53.about the state of nutrition on the basis of facts, not politics. The

:19:54. > :19:57.government says it knows the recession has hit families hard and

:19:58. > :20:00.that is why it has cut taxes, particularly for low paid

:20:01. > :20:04.households. But public health specialists say more needs to be

:20:05. > :20:11.done to monitor and tackle hunger and poor nutrition.

:20:12. > :20:16.The family of Peaches Geldof has refused to comment on reports that

:20:17. > :20:21.she died from a heroin overdose. The body of the 25-year-old mother of

:20:22. > :20:25.two was found at her home in Wrotham in Kent. A postmortem examination

:20:26. > :20:29.proved inconclusive, prompting further tests to be conducted. A

:20:30. > :20:34.report in The Times today says the tests showed she died from a heroin

:20:35. > :20:37.overdose. The inquest will be adjourned later that afternoon and

:20:38. > :20:41.is expected a cause of death will be given.

:20:42. > :20:44.A future Labour government would put a limit on rent increases in the

:20:45. > :20:49.private sector and scrap letting fees to estate agents to give what

:20:50. > :20:53.it calls a fairer deal to tenants. The Labour leader Ed Miliband made

:20:54. > :20:56.the announcement as he launched his party's campaign for local council

:20:57. > :20:59.and European elections. He said Labour would take action to ensure a

:21:00. > :21:04.generation of people who had been unable to get on the housing ladder

:21:05. > :21:09.due to spiralling prices would no longer be ignored.

:21:10. > :21:14.It will be cheaper to rent a home as we ban charges tenants by letting

:21:15. > :21:19.agents. There will be greater security with three-year tenancies

:21:20. > :21:24.and we will tackle the cost-of-living crisis. By putting a

:21:25. > :21:31.ceiling on excessive rent rises. Generation rent is a generation left

:21:32. > :21:37.ignored and insecure offer to long. Not under a Labour government.

:21:38. > :21:41.Our chief political correspondent Norman Smith is in Redbridge. There

:21:42. > :21:43.has been criticism of this not just politically but from when the

:21:44. > :21:49.housing industry. Why is he doing it? Well, he has announced this plan

:21:50. > :21:52.for a cap on rent rises because he believes the cost of renting is key

:21:53. > :21:56.to the whole cost-of-living crisis, which he wants to make the

:21:57. > :22:00.centrepiece not just of his local and European election campaign but

:22:01. > :22:04.the general election as well. But today's policy is a policy with some

:22:05. > :22:10.risks. First, it is easy for the Tories to say it is alert -- a lurch

:22:11. > :22:18.to the left, to old Labour, to rent controls, vehemently denied. Second,

:22:19. > :22:19.even some in the industry are decidedly queasy. The Royal

:22:20. > :22:23.Institute of Chartered Surveyors says it is not a solution. There are

:22:24. > :22:26.those who feel the whole cost of living attackers running out of

:22:27. > :22:30.steam as the economy recovers. But Mr Miliband is willing to take those

:22:31. > :22:35.risks because he believes the cost-of-living crisis is" the

:22:36. > :22:39.defining issue of our generation" and he does believe that the state

:22:40. > :22:43.can intervene in the markets and we have seen that, we saw it with the

:22:44. > :22:48.energy companies, we saw it with the banks and today, we are seeing it

:22:49. > :22:52.with landlords. Norman Smith, thank you. It is three weeks until the

:22:53. > :22:55.polls open for the European elections and here in the UK

:22:56. > :23:00.immigration could prove to be a key issue for voters. But what is

:23:01. > :23:03.influencing people elsewhere on the continent? Chris Morris and Matthew

:23:04. > :23:10.Price have travelled to Poland and to Portugal and their reports reveal

:23:11. > :23:13.very different attitudes from ours. This is a tale of two Europes.

:23:14. > :23:18.The first, elegant, beautiful and old. Where even those with jobs,

:23:19. > :23:24.like the tram driver, are barely coping. We suffer directly all the

:23:25. > :23:34.cutbacks of the economy, or the service for people. It's tough for

:23:35. > :23:39.everybody? For everybody. The eurozone crisis almost destroyed

:23:40. > :23:43.Portugal. A bailout from the EU saved it and there are now signs of

:23:44. > :23:47.economic recovery and yet the huge public sector cuts here mean that

:23:48. > :23:52.the economy took a massive drop. Whereas Poland still feels like a

:23:53. > :23:55.place on the up. The EU has helped modernise this country, putting tens

:23:56. > :23:58.of billions of euros in development aid, not just in cities like Warsaw,

:23:59. > :24:08.out in Poland's huge rural economy too. The apple trees are in blossom.

:24:09. > :24:12.Poland is the biggest exporter of apples in the world. This farm has

:24:13. > :24:22.benefited from being part of the world's largest single market. Just

:24:23. > :24:25.before Poland joined the EU in 2004, the owner told the BBC he was

:24:26. > :24:33.sceptical. Not any more. Many good things have happened. We have

:24:34. > :24:40.modernised, our products are better and we sell all over Europe. The

:24:41. > :24:44.last ten years have helped. But a huge number of Poles still have to

:24:45. > :24:47.look for work abroad. Free movement in the EU has been a lifeline. But a

:24:48. > :24:50.few, like Joanna, are now returning home. Change has been slow but over

:24:51. > :24:53.time the opportunities here will increase. It's completely different

:24:54. > :24:55.and it really changed for the better. There are more

:24:56. > :25:01.opportunities. There is more freedom. It is complicated, average

:25:02. > :25:04.salaries in Poland will grow most of Western Europe and yet they've

:25:05. > :25:07.doubled in the last ten years and the differences people here at least

:25:08. > :25:12.have the hope they will be better off than their parents. Whereas here

:25:13. > :25:15.in Portugal, many of the unemployed are being supported by the pensions

:25:16. > :25:18.of either their grandparents or even their parents, or like this lot,

:25:19. > :25:27.they are looking for work outside the country. It is a big change.

:25:28. > :25:30.Here, they are hoping to find jobs in the British health system which

:25:31. > :25:35.is actively recruiting now in Portugal and overall record numbers

:25:36. > :25:38.of workers are going. I think it's very sad that the young people and

:25:39. > :25:46.not so young people, the nurses with experience have to emigrate to other

:25:47. > :25:50.countries. So two different perspectives from new Europe and

:25:51. > :25:54.old. Portugal is downsizing, cutting back, imposing austerity in order to

:25:55. > :25:59.stay in the eurozone. While Poland has grown and is in no hurry to join

:26:00. > :26:11.the single currency. Now the voters get their say.

:26:12. > :26:14.After the miserable winter, English cricket continues relentless

:26:15. > :26:18.rebuilding operation, with not even the most famous names safe from the

:26:19. > :26:22.sack. Today, Graham Gooch has lost his job as England's batting coach,

:26:23. > :26:26.even though he was the hero of Captain Alastair Cook. Joe Wilson

:26:27. > :26:29.has been speaking to Cook about that decision and the way back from the

:26:30. > :26:33.winter's rock bottom. When your new sponsor is a

:26:34. > :26:40.supermarket in the captain is a Cook, where -- well, where else to

:26:41. > :26:43.launch a season but the kitchen? Might the most appropriate utensil

:26:44. > :26:45.may be the axe? You don't make progress without breaking eggs.

:26:46. > :26:51.Graham Gooch played progress without breaking eggs.

:26:52. > :26:54.matches for England. Formerly captain until today he was

:26:55. > :26:59.England's batting coach. It was also Alastair Cook's meant all. The two

:27:00. > :27:04.could not have been closer. Now Cook has told him he is no longer needed.

:27:05. > :27:08.To be the guy bringing him up saying we need freshening up in the

:27:09. > :27:10.coaching staff and he is no longer going to be

:27:11. > :27:16.coaching staff and he is no longer the match day squad, it was an

:27:17. > :27:19.incredibly tough week for me personally. Is this Alastair

:27:20. > :27:20.incredibly tough week for me being ruthless? I don't think so, it

:27:21. > :27:23.incredibly tough week for me is just making a decision that we

:27:24. > :27:25.think will benefit the team and when you are talking about an England

:27:26. > :27:31.legend who has done so much for me personally and for the side over the

:27:32. > :27:34.last four years, it does make it harder. Cook knows he needs to

:27:35. > :27:38.assert himself. After humbling England over the winter, Australia

:27:39. > :27:42.are officially ranked number one side in the world. A

:27:43. > :27:44.are officially ranked number one England recently held. Is it a

:27:45. > :27:48.realistic ambition for during your time as captain, the next few

:27:49. > :27:52.years, that England can get back to the number-1 spot? It is a realistic

:27:53. > :27:56.aim. We have not discussed it with the yet, so certain people are

:27:57. > :28:04.motivated by different things. I would love to see an England side

:28:05. > :28:09.playing good cricket to watch and to conduct themselves in a manner

:28:10. > :28:12.befitting an England player. Well, Kevin Pietersen has put itself

:28:13. > :28:18.forward on Twitter to replace Graham Gooch as England's batting coach.

:28:19. > :28:25.Presumably he was joking. No need for Cook indigestion.

:28:26. > :28:30.If we are talking about cricket it can mean only one thing. Chris

:28:31. > :28:34.Fawkes has details of the weather. The bank holiday Monday and the Bank

:28:35. > :28:38.Holiday weekend is looking pretty good. Today, we are looking at lots

:28:39. > :28:43.of cloud for most areas of the British Isles with outbreaks of

:28:44. > :28:47.rain. The radar picture picks up the rain, across Wales and south-west

:28:48. > :28:49.England. It is damp for the rest of England and southern and eastern

:28:50. > :28:53.Scotland. Northern Ireland should stay largely dry. As we had through

:28:54. > :28:58.this afternoon what will happen across England and while since the

:28:59. > :29:00.winds will rush together in the convergence zone and it will leave a

:29:01. > :29:04.strip of moist air from south-east England across the Midlands into

:29:05. > :29:08.Wales. It is along the line of extra moist air where we will see heavy,

:29:09. > :29:10.thundery showers breaking out. Across the south-west

:29:11. > :29:11.thundery showers breaking out. showers should clear away to give

:29:30. > :29:34.getting up to five Celsius this afternoon. Dry weather for Northern

:29:35. > :29:38.Ireland, but cloudy. Extensive cloud for Scotland. The Northern Isles, an

:29:39. > :29:43.exception, its sunshine, but not warm. Seven Celsius in Shetland.

:29:56. > :30:01.Scotland where we have clear skies, it will be a cold night and in rural

:30:02. > :30:07.temperatures -- and in rural areas, down to four Celsius. A cold start

:30:08. > :30:11.for a morning. On Friday, we start the day Friday. Behind this front we

:30:12. > :30:14.start to see the skies clearing. Buy to weather for Scotland pushing into

:30:15. > :30:20.northern England, the far north of Wales and perhaps the end of the

:30:21. > :30:25.day. One showers could be quite heavy. Temperatures, highs of 15

:30:26. > :30:29.degrees. That takes us into the start of the weekend. The high

:30:30. > :30:34.pressure becomes established across Scotland, England and Wales. With

:30:35. > :30:37.clearing skies it will be a cold start to Saturday. Some patches of

:30:38. > :30:42.frost in the towns and cities. Brobbell areas will be colder. We

:30:43. > :30:45.could see a few patches of frost across southern England. In

:30:51. > :30:54.sunshine. As we head towards Bank Holiday Monday, dry, sunny weather,

:30:55. > :30:57.temperatures into the low 20s across south-east England. Not many Bank

:30:58. > :31:05.Holiday is you can say that about but decent weather is around the

:31:06. > :31:09.corner. Our top story. The Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams continues to be

:31:10. > :31:15.questioned by police in Northern Ireland over the murder in 1972 of a
