This super-head faces being struck off after spending hundreds of | :01:01. | :01:19. | |
thousands of pounds on herself. Hello, good afternoon, | :01:20. | :01:38. | |
and welcome to the BBC News At One. Ukraine has launched a military | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
operation against pro-Russian separatists in the eastern city | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
of Sloviansk, in the latest round Ukraine says two of its helicopters | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
have been shot down, and at least In Moscow, | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
President Putin's spokesman said the offensive has, in effect, destroyed | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
the last hope for the implementation of the Geneva agreements which were | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
intended to defuse the crisis. We'll get the latest from | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
the eastern Ukraine in a moment. But, first, here's our world affairs | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
correspondent, Nick Childs. The report suggests the Ukrainian | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
government has launched its most determined operation yet to | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
dislodge pro-Russian separatists from their positions in and | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
around the town of Sloviansk. Raising the tensions | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
and stakes again in the crisis over Government forces have already | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
paid a price in this new showdown. These unverified pictures, | :02:32. | :02:44. | |
apparently of one of two military helicopters downed | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
in the operations so far. Two Ukrainian personnel killed, | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
according to the authorities There was another | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
helicopter shot down. This man was abandoned | :02:52. | :03:19. | |
by his people. This may look like the most serious | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
government offensive so far, but how far will these forces go | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
and what will the fallout be? Here, an army column is locked by | :03:26. | :03:37. | |
locals. In Sloviansk, they are reinforcing | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
their defences should Ukrainian military tried to move in. | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
TRANSLATION: We are standing here to prevent military people coming into | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
our city to protect our land and people. We are normal people of the | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
city. There are no Russian troops here as they claim. From the | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
self-proclaimed Russian mayor of the city, an appeal. It is under siege. | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
He asks women and children to stay at home and men to defend the city. | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
Kiev says it is not facing just ordinary protesters but heavily | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
armed Russian backed militants. Moscow says Kiev Gracnar are we | :04:23. | :04:34. | |
looking down the barrel of further escalation here? | :04:35. | :04:43. | |
Let us go to our special correspondent. I am six miles from | :04:44. | :04:54. | |
the border of Sloviansk. There is a large group of Russian locals. From | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
where I am standing as I look across, I can see Ukrainian troops | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
patrolling in the fields. There has been a heavy downpour of rain, it | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
has pushed people back. It is a tense situation here. At one | :05:11. | :05:19. | |
checkpoint, there has been an attempt to take away body armour. | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
Through the morning, people have been getting Hortense. | :05:24. | :05:33. | |
The Sinn Fein president, Gerry Adams, is being questioned | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
for a second day about the murder of a woman during the Northern Ireland | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
Last night, Jean McConville's eldest child told the BBC she was now ready | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
to give police the names of those she believed were involved. | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
Jon Brain is outside the police station in Antrim where | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
This Gerry Adams may have arrived here voluntarily on Wednesday | :05:50. | :05:59. | |
evening. Whether he thought he would still be | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
here on Friday lunchtime is another matter. As detectives continued to | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
question him about the Jean McConville 's case, one of her | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
daughters has said she has significant information she wants to | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
give them. For more than four decades, her life has been blighted | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
by the abduction of Jean McConville. Aged just 15 at the time, she never | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
saw her mother again. In later years, she watched as search teams | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
look for her body. It was finally discovered on the beach at County | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
Louth in 2003. She says she has always known who was responsible for | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
her mother's death and is now prepared to name names. I have no | :06:41. | :06:48. | |
fear anymore and I will happily give names to the police. What are they | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
going to do to me? They have done so much already. Put a bullet in my | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
head? They know where I live. I have always believed Gerry Adams was | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
involved in the murder of my mother, yes. Gerry Adams is one of Northern | :07:03. | :07:11. | |
Ireland's most senior figures, he strenuously denies he had any | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
involvement in what happened to Jean McConville. Former paramilitary 's | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
have implicated him in a murder in recordings made for an oral history | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
project. There was only one man who gave the order that man to be | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
executed, that man is now the head of Sinn Fein. Believed by all and | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
tearing himself for questioning, Mr Adams may be trying to resolve the | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
problem which has overshadowed him for years. If he is not charged, he | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
will say he has done his civil duty, he went to the police and | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
asked them to put the Chargers to me and I answered them. They haven't | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
been able to charge me. Sinn Fein claim the timing of the rest is | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
politically motivated, designed to undermine the party in the run-up to | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
the elections. It has emerged Martin McGuinness was found last night by | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
David Cameron, to assure him that would be no political interference | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
will stop the Prime Minister and I appreciate the sensitivity of the | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
situation which is why he was engaging with the deputy and First | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
Minister to give the message that working together on those big | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
challenges for Northern Ireland is crucially important. But for Helen | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
McHendry, the only crucial thing is to get justice for her beloved | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
other. This has been used tensions between | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
those who want to move on from the troubled past and those who say you | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
cannot do that if it means denying justice to the victims. | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
The 15-year-old boy, charged with the murder of the teacher | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
Ann Maguire, has appeared via a videolink at Leeds Crown Court. | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
The teenager, who can't be named because he's under 16, is accused | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
of stabbing Ann Maguire to death in her classroom on Monday morning. | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
The former publicist Max Clifford is due to be sentenced today, | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
after he was found guilty of eight charges of indecent assault | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
on teenage girls and women during the late 1970s and early 1980s. | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
Our correspondent Richard Lister is at Southwark Crown Court for us. | :09:14. | :09:23. | |
Max Clifford left his Surrey mansion today with a suitcase, anticipating | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
he would be spending two nights in jail. When he got to court this | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
morning, he was as defiant as ever, insisting he stood by the account he | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
had given, that he never indecently assaulted anybody. He turned down | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
the opportunity to apologise to his victims. Once inside court, he was | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
forced to listen to the mitigation statements from his victims, the | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
youngest was 15 when she was assaulted by Max Clifford. In a | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
statement, she said her schooling had suffered, the abuse had impacted | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
on her relationship with her pants and with her husband. The judge is | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
expected to pass sentence this afternoon and said he would be | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
considering consecutive sentences for each of the eight counts on | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
which Max Clifford was found guilty. AstraZeneca has rejected | :10:14. | :10:27. | |
a new ?63 billion takeover proposal It had upped its offer for the | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
British company, to ?50 a share. Let's get more from | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
our business editor, Kamal Ahmed. Kamal, let's analyse these latest | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
developments in a move that has This is a business deal and | :10:38. | :10:48. | |
political controversy. AstraZeneca rejected the deal. In reality, they | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
want more money. Wolf eyes comeback with a better bid? It is hoped so. | :10:53. | :11:05. | |
Now, let us turn to the politics. Pfizer have made a number of | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
pledges. In those pledges, they have said they want to see substantial | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
research and element in Cambridge. That they will commit to a European | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
and tax headquarters in the UK. And manufacturing jobs will be retained. | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
That is important. One of the key manufacturing sites is in the | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
constituency of the Chancellor who has been taking a key interest. | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
Politicians want to ensure if this deal goes ahead it will not mean | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
less research, or fewer jobs in the UK. | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
Royal Bank Of Scotland has announced a pre-tax profit for the first | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
That's double what it made in the same period last year. | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
However, the bank says that it still faces | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
difficult conditions, and will face costs for winding down the so called | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
A part-time judge, Constance Briscoe, has been jailed | :12:03. | :12:13. | |
for 16 months, after being found guilty of lying to the police. | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
She was convicted yesterday of perverting the course of justice in | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
connection with the investigation into how the former Cabinet | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
Minister, Chris Huhne, asked his then wife, Vicky Pryce, to take the | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
Our legal correspondent Clive Coleman was in the Old Bailey | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
courtroom this morning to hear the sentencing. | :12:31. | :12:40. | |
A woman who once passed sentence on other people today have a | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
devastating sentence passed upon her, she was sentenced to three | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
counts of intending to convert the course of justice, lying to police | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
investigating the points swapping case, investigating how that story | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
got into the press. Constance Briscoe lied about her involvement. | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
And she falsified around witness statement. And then she supplied a | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
false document to an expert witness with the intention of misleading the | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
jury. Sentencing her today, the judge said it was a personal tragedy | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
for Constance Briscoe and her family. He described her as a woman | :13:23. | :13:31. | |
who had been a role model but said there was the arrogance of educated | :13:32. | :13:43. | |
people and disrespect for the law. Our main story. Ukrainian forces had | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
been fighting pro-Russian troops in the east of the country. Moscow | :13:51. | :13:51. | |
calls for an end to the violence. calls for an end to the | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
Still to come, space, the final frontier for gastro food? | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
Later on BBC London, as house prices hit a record high, this row of | :14:05. | :14:12. | |

And scientists are studying these brothers checking in the Arctic. | :14:17. | :14:25. | |
With so many of us living increasingly busy lives, getting to | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
the shops isn't always that easy. There is more competition between | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
outlets to make it simply for people to shop online and to pick up their | :14:36. | :14:43. | |
goods. Today, that condition intensified. John Lannis has opened | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
a click and collect outlet at a railway station. | :14:48. | :14:59. | |
temperature-controlled lockers, to collection points and getting your | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
eBay order at an Argos, shopping is getting more convenient. This is the | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
new battleground in retail. We are in the exhibition that we have put | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
together. Ill tells the story of John Lewis back to 1864. They are | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
focussing on celebrating 150 years of history this weekend. But the | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
boss has most got his eye on the future. The ease of click and | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
collect. It has been a phenomenon. You still have to go to another high | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
street location. We are about to trial the new news - click and | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
commute - taking small shops offering click and collect and we | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
will see if that works. Click and collect's growing fast. It now makes | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
up nearly a fifth of all online sales from high street retailers, a | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
figure that has quadrupled in a few years. How convenient could things | :15:55. | :16:02. | |
get? Amazon in America is trialling these drones to drop off deliveries. | :16:03. | :16:10. | |
In hi-tech South Korea, Wi-Fi balloons are used to connect | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
consumers with offers, but what will shopping look like in the future? | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
When you walk into a store, the technology you are carrying, your | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
mobile phone, will liaise with the store and tell it who you are. It | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
will have a photograph of your face. It will know what you like. As you | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
stand in various places in the store, you will get personalised | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
service, personalised signage and personal pricing. In the old days, | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
shops made it their business to know all about their customers. In | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
future, the march of technology will mean retailers will know more about | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
us and what we want. More than 300,000 people are taking | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
part in the world's biggest study The aim - to try to predict what | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
factors may increase the risk Our medical correspondent, Fergus | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
Walsh, reports. Like it or not, as we | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
get older, our memory and speed of Four years ago, I did a series of | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
puzzles, and now I'm repeating them, I was joined by the scientist who | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
helped devise them. He says our reaction times will have | :17:21. | :17:29. | |
slowed, but even the tiniest changes could help the Medical Research | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
Council study discover why some people and not others go on to get | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
dementia. We hope to find out what are the | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
causes of cognitive decline with age, whether they are genetic, or | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
lifestyle, or both. And we hope to be able to advise people how to | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
reduce their risk of cognitive decline and therefore dementia over | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
time. If we can delay the onset of dementia by five years, we can halve | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
the number of people in the UK that actually get it. And I think that's | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
a result for me. Ann Johnson was diagnosed with | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
Alzheimer's disease when she was It affects her short-term memory and | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
makes reading difficult. She'd like to know why dementia has | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
affected her family. My father had this before me. His | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
lifestyle, like mine, there was nothing wrong with it. I can't | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
identify what caused it for him or for me. We need to identify if there | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
are any common denominators there which give us a clue as to what may | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
be the cause of this. That is what UK Biobank will seek to | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
find out. Scientists are now analysing the DNA | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
from half a million volunteers, and will compare this with information | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
on lifestyle and health records. It is a huge biomedical database. | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
This should yield vital clues on dementia and may eventually lead to | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
new treatments. David Cameron has repeated his | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
promise to give the public a vote on Britain's membership of the European | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
Union IF he wins next year's Launching the Conservatives' local | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
election campaign, the Prime Minister said he won't | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
lead a Government that could not - or did not - deliver an in/out | :19:21. | :19:22. | |
referendum. This is our message on the stump and | :19:23. | :19:33. | |
on the doorstep. We have come this far, from a great recession, to a | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
great British revival. If you want to see this progress through, if you | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
want our country to go from strength to strength, if you want to finish | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
the job we have started together, then back the party with a plan. | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
Back the party that delivers a better, more secure future for you, | :19:50. | :19:55. | |

you. Our Political Correspondent Gary | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
O'Donoghue listened to David Cameron's speech in Newcastle | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
Under Lyme. What did you make of it? It is interesting that David Cameron | :20:03. | :20:15. | |
came to this big JCB warehouse, massive seven football pitches in | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
size, in the north of Staffordshire to underline his point that the | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
economy had been recovering. He talked about a great British | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
recovery. Now, he did say that Labour had short-term gimmicks and a | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
very interesting swipe at UKIP here. He said, "I don't need to discredit | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
them, they do a good enough job of doing that themselves." Also a | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
cautious message, talking about the job not being dene, "Give us more | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
time." That is the message not just for these local and European | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
elections, that is the message you will hear from him and the rest of | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
the Conservative Party for the next year into the next general election. | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
That is what they believe will persuade the British people that | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
they need five more years to spread and secure the recovery. | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
The Top Gear presenter, Jeremy Clarkson, has apologised for | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
appearing to use a racist word during a recording of the programme. | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
The material was never broadcast but he said today it had been a mistake. | :21:13. | :21:21. | |
#34R50ez Please be assured I did everything in my power to not use | :21:22. | :21:29. | |
that word. And as I'm sitting here begging your forgiveness, for the | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
fact that obviously my efforts weren't quite good enough. | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
A new campaign group has been launched against an independent | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
Scotland promoting itself as a "people's campaign voiced by | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
ordinary Scots" - without any politicians. | :21:44. | :21:45. | |

A recording studio on the outskirts of Edinburgh. A group of musicians | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
putting the finishing touches to a song that they hope could save the | :22:01. | :22:11. | |
United Kingdom. The song is part of a new campaign called No Borders. | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
Their bid will be officially launched in two weeks to keep | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
Scotland within the UK. The Union is the most successful merger of | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
sovereign nations in the world. For the benefit of all the people and | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
prosperity and safety, they can pull together. That is what the Union is | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
about. Here in the heart of Glasgow, in fact almost anywhere you go, | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
anywhere in Scotland, you are never far away from some monument or | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
memorial to our 300 years of shared British history. While the No | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
Borders campaign is reluctant publicly to criticise the official | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
"No" campaign Better Together, others are not so polite, saying | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
it's been a shambles. The idea is a grassroots campaign to rival that of | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
the pro-independence "Yes" campaign based on testimonials from those who | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
wish to remain in the UK. The "yes" campaign appears more confident than | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
ever and they are scathing of what they see as disarray in the "no" | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
camp. There is a break-up of the "no" campaign. It's failed miserably | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
to make an impact. Some of its own supporters are beginning to feel | :23:26. | :23:27. | |
they have to break away. In the music industry, they say that you | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
should never rewrite a hit and No Borders believes the UK has been a | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
great hit worldwide for 300 years. But others say it might be time to | :23:38. | :23:39. | |
sing a new song. Ever since astronauts have been | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
going into space they've complained that the food is bland and | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
tasteless! Which is why the British astronaut, | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
Tim Peake, has asked British school children to come up with some | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
ideas for space-age gastro food - Here's our Science Correspondent, | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
Pallab Ghosh. Eating on the International Space | :24:01. | :24:16. | |
Station is different. The fooz is freeze-dried, bland and has a life | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
of its own. This is some... Schoolchildren have been asked by | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
Tim Peake to create more of a gourmet experience for him when he | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
is in space next year. Step one - try out what astronauts eat. Is it | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
nice eating it out of a packet? This is what Tim Peake might be eating | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
while he is up on the International Space Station. Dehydrated green | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
beans and mushrooms. Here is his fish course. And this is the kind of | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
thing he will be drinking - dehydrated orange and mango. Not the | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
most appetising of menus. Some of the food on board isn't as nice as | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
it could be. It is nutritional, but some of it is mushy and it lacks | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
taste and texture. And so I thought this is a great idea for - or a | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
great way for people to come up with an idea of something that is | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
nutritional, healthy, tastes good and also can have a bit of a | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
Britishness about it as well. And good food is vital for the exertions | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
of a long mission on the space station. We want the food to be so | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
good that he will want to share it with his colleagues on the space | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
station. We want a happy crew in space. A happy crew is an efficient | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
crew. Food is an important part of making them happy and effective as a | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
team. So here are some ideas from the pupils of this school in London. | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
It would be more appetising if it would be in a bowl or something, | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
that you can smell. Bacon, or sausages, so that he can have, like, | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
the British classic fry-up, maybe. So, it is now time for | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
schoolchildren to get their teeth stuck in to a project to create the | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
first great British dinner to be eaten in space. | :26:05. | :26:12. | |
She knew from an early age that she'd been adopted. | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
was that she had a twin sister, Lizzie. | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
They'd been separated at birth - one living her life in Aldershot - | :26:21. | :26:23. | |
Well now - after 78 years - they've been re-united. | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
An emotional reunion, back together after almost eight decades apart. | :26:29. | :26:44. | |
Their unmarried mother was in domestic service and couldn't afford | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
Anne was given up for adoption and never knew she had a twin | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
I wanted to pinch myself, am I dreaming? I've got someone, someone | :26:58. | :27:05. | |
from, you know, as well as me, you know, part of me, you know, twin. | :27:06. | :27:13. | |
Elizabeth knew she had a long-lost sister but she never thought they | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
would be reunited until she received a letter from Ann's daughter. | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
I saw Aldershot, oh, I did a double take on that. And opened it up and | :27:23. | :27:30. | |
looked at it and my eyes popped out of my head. | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
The sisters have agreed to take part in a university study into the lives | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
We want to get a comprehensive overview of their lives, their | :27:41. | :27:46. | |
abilities, their interests and really put it altogether as an | :27:47. | :27:49. | |
important case study because this is really the world's longest separated | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
For now, Ann and Elizabeth want to get to know each other better. | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
Blue eyes. Mother's blue eyes. Hello, mother! | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
Against the odds - sisterly love blossoming late in life. | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
A lot of catching up to do there. Now, let's catch up with the | :28:08. | :28:17. | |
weather. For most of us, we started the day | :28:18. | :28:23. | |
on a cloudy note. There are already signs that the weather is cheering | :28:24. | :28:30. | |
up. We should get brighter skies filtering southwards as we head | :28:31. | :28:32. | |
through the rest of the afternoon. The reason we will see some subtle | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
changes is because we have a weak cold front giving the odd spot of | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
rain. For most of us, it will be dry. That will sink southwards. It | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
is behind that front that the clearer skies will start to move in. | :28:45. | :28:52. | |
South East England slow to brighten up, so we will keep a lot of cloud. | :28:53. | :28:57. | |
Wales also staying probably rather cloudy. A few brighter spells | :28:58. | :29:01. | |
getting into the north. Yesterday, what a miserable day it was across | :29:02. | :29:06. | |
the North East of England. Temperatures around 6 Celsius in | :29:07. | :29:10. | |
some places. Today, it is dry and bright and a bit warmer as well. So | :29:11. | :29:13. | |
bright skies there. Northern Ireland will stay rather cloudy. Overnight, | :29:14. | :29:18. | |
the cloud will continue to thicken up across western areas. That will | :29:19. | :29:21. | |
stop temperatures from falling too low. Across Plymouth, Cardiff, | :29:22. | :29:26. | |
Belfast, temperatures 7-10 Celsius. It will be a different story further | :29:27. | :29:33. | |
east. Last night across northern Scotland, temperatures got down to | :29:34. | :29:38. | |
-4 Celsius. So a cold night coming up. | :29:39. | :29:39. | |
-4 Celsius. So a cold night coming The frost will be a bit more | :29:40. | :29:43. | |
widespread as well. -4 Celsius possible across the Vale of York. | :29:44. | :29:47. | |
Further south, the Midlands, we could see a few patches of frost. | :29:48. | :29:51. | |
Southern England, the coldest spots down to -2 Celsius. So expect a | :29:52. | :29:56. | |
cold, frosty start to the morning. But, at least there will be plenty | :29:57. | :30:01. | |
of sunshine to start the day. Thanks to an area of high pressure. For | :30:02. | :30:05. | |
Northern Ireland, the weather is going downhill pretty quickly. | :30:06. | :30:10. | |
Eventually, that rain will move into western Scotland. Otherwise, it will | :30:11. | :30:15. | |
stay dry. The rest of the bank holiday weekend - there is a bit of | :30:16. | :30:18. | |
uncertainty as far as the weather goes with weather fronts pestering | :30:19. | :30:33. | |
the North West of the British Isles. Across the eastern side of Scotland | :30:34. | :30:37. | |
and England, the weather is better. It should be dry for just about | :30:38. | :30:41. | |
everyone. The best of the sunshine the further south and east you are. | :30:42. | :30:45. | |
There could be further changes with the weather forecast because there | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
is a bit of uncertainty. You can stay one step ahead of the weather | :30:49. | :30:51. | |
by checking the forecast on bbc.co.uk/weather. | :30:52. | :30:56. | |
Thank you very much. Before we leave you, the headlines: Ukrainian forces | :30:57. | :31:02. | |
