:00:00. > :00:07.Not out of the woods yet, as latest housing and inflation

:00:08. > :00:11.figures suggest there's still pressure on the UK economy.

:00:12. > :00:14.Inflation rose for the first time in 10 months.

:00:15. > :00:19.Houses prices were up too in the year to March, in London by 17%.

:00:20. > :00:21.We'll be assessing what those figures tell us about the state

:00:22. > :00:27.More than 150,000 people sign an online petition calling on US

:00:28. > :00:31.coastguards to resume its search for four missing British sailors.

:00:32. > :00:37.They say they've done everything they can.

:00:38. > :00:40.Profits at Marks and Spencer fall for the third year

:00:41. > :00:42.in a row, but the company says it's made solid progress.

:00:43. > :00:46.The military in Thailand imposes martial law amid a political crisis.

:00:47. > :00:49.They say it's to preserve law and order and is not a coup.

:01:07. > :01:28.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:01:29. > :01:32.The economy may be recovering, but two bits of news today showed that

:01:33. > :01:38.Figures for house prices showed they were still going up rapidly,

:01:39. > :01:41.particularly in London and the South East, confirming fears

:01:42. > :01:45.expressed only a few days ago by the governor of the Bank of England.

:01:46. > :01:49.And today's small increase in inflation, the first

:01:50. > :01:52.in ten months, showed the squeeze on incomes is far from over.

:01:53. > :01:58.Here's our economics correspondent, Simon Jack.

:01:59. > :02:05.The price of goods and services rose at an annual rate of 1.8% in April,

:02:06. > :02:11.a slight rise on last month and ahead of annual wage increases which

:02:12. > :02:15.are running at 1.7%. The timing of Easter helped push the price of some

:02:16. > :02:18.things, like air fares and holidays, up that little bit more.

:02:19. > :02:22.But the picture remains the same, wages are still struggling to keep

:02:23. > :02:26.pace with prices, especially if you take out the value of bonuses, which

:02:27. > :02:29.few people get, what most of us take home in our wallets is still buying

:02:30. > :02:34.a little bit less. That certainly rings true for this family having a

:02:35. > :02:39.birthday lunch in Surrey. I am aware that the pension doesn't quite spend

:02:40. > :02:44.as much, because the basics, heating and this sort of thing, they are

:02:45. > :02:50.going up. The main things I notice our day-to-day items, shopping,

:02:51. > :02:55.petrol. Although pay rises are small, there are signs we feel more

:02:56. > :02:59.confident spending what we do in, according to Natasha, who has worked

:03:00. > :03:02.in this pub for several years. Compare to the last few years,

:03:03. > :03:05.customers have maybe been a little bit better. But I think it's a long

:03:06. > :03:09.way to go to catch up from what happened a few years ago. I think we

:03:10. > :03:14.have a bit of a climb to get back up to feeling well off again. But

:03:15. > :03:18.customers have been tipping slightly better. Nowhere is the confidence

:03:19. > :03:25.more evident than in the housing market, particularly in Sunderland

:03:26. > :03:30.and -- London and south-east. There are calls for action to prevent

:03:31. > :03:33.overheating. A number of things can be done. The Government could modify

:03:34. > :03:38.the help to buy scheme. That is allowing people relatively low

:03:39. > :03:42.incomes to borrow more. The other thing that the Bank of England could

:03:43. > :03:48.do is put pressure on the High Street banks to lend less to people

:03:49. > :03:52.that are a bit more financially vulnerable. Although up over the

:03:53. > :03:56.year, prices actually fell in March for the first time in 12 months,

:03:57. > :03:59.signs perhaps that new stricter rules on mortgage lending are

:04:00. > :04:02.beginning to have an effect. It may be too early to tell if it is

:04:03. > :04:07.slowing down or just pausing for breath.

:04:08. > :04:11.Norman Smith is in Westminster. There are concerns about the housing

:04:12. > :04:16.market, I suppose the question is what the Government will do about

:04:17. > :04:20.it? That is the big question, house prices are politically critical. How

:04:21. > :04:23.many times have we been here before, one a recovering economy has been

:04:24. > :04:29.derailed when the housing bubble bursts? This time, a slightly

:04:30. > :04:33.different situation, insofar as responsibility of what to do is

:04:34. > :04:37.being passed off to the Governor of the Bank of England. It's an extent

:04:38. > :04:42.it seems something of a hospital pass. He cannot magic up new homes,

:04:43. > :04:45.is constrained on interest rates because of the impact on the

:04:46. > :04:50.economy. He can tinker with help to buy, but it is only a small part of

:04:51. > :04:54.the market. When you talk to ministers, they seem to be of the

:04:55. > :04:58.view that it is not a UK problem, it is a London problem. They point out

:04:59. > :05:04.that outside of London, house prices only went up by 4%. They are still

:05:05. > :05:08.15% below their pre-crash peak. If the governor agrees, it may be that

:05:09. > :05:11.when he comes forward with recommendations next month, these

:05:12. > :05:14.may be measures not to dampen down the housing market in the UK, but to

:05:15. > :05:17.dampen down the housing market in London.

:05:18. > :05:21.And if you want to know where you can afford to live you can use the

:05:22. > :05:27.BBC's house calculator on the website at bbc.co.uk/news.

:05:28. > :05:29.More than 150,000 people have now signed an online petition urging

:05:30. > :05:32.the US Coastguard to resume the search for four British yachtsmen

:05:33. > :05:38.Efforts to find them were called off after a two day

:05:39. > :05:43.The Foreign Office says the US Coastguard had assured them they

:05:44. > :05:45.did everything they could and would have done exactly

:05:46. > :05:49.The experienced sailors were last in contact on Friday

:05:50. > :05:51.after their boat, the Cheeky Rafiki, began taking on water.

:05:52. > :06:00.Duncan Kennedy joins us now from Southampton.

:06:01. > :06:07.Well, Simon, the numbers of people signing the petition you spoke of

:06:08. > :06:12.our going up and up. A short time ago it was, as you said, more than

:06:13. > :06:19.150,000. It is not just people in the yachting world, it is a wider

:06:20. > :06:23.world that has been caught up in the story. What we are told by everyone

:06:24. > :06:26.we speak to us that they are not questioning the professionalism of

:06:27. > :06:32.the US Coast Guard, they are saying this is a basic human plea, please,

:06:33. > :06:37.please, stop this search again. -- start.

:06:38. > :06:40.These are the dramatic new pictures from the Atlantic on the same day

:06:41. > :06:44.the Cheeki Rafiki went missing. But this is not the British yacht, it is

:06:45. > :06:49.a French one in trouble, in roughly the same area, south of Cape Cod.

:06:50. > :06:55.The American Coast Guard says by the time the Cheeki Rafiki sent out the

:06:56. > :07:00.distress call, the wind was stronger and the seas were higher. Four

:07:01. > :07:05.British men, Andrew Bridge, James Male, Paul Goslin and Steve Warren,

:07:06. > :07:09.used electronic beacons to raise the alarm. That did lead to a Coast

:07:10. > :07:15.Guard search for the vessel lasting 50 hours. It was called off on

:07:16. > :07:19.Sunday. The Foreign Office today said the US Coast Guard had assured

:07:20. > :07:25.us that they did everything they could and they would have done

:07:26. > :07:29.exactly the same for US citizens. 150,000 people, the support has got

:07:30. > :07:33.quite big. Vast numbers of people in the yachting world disagree. Clubs

:07:34. > :07:38.like this one in Southampton have been leading a massive online

:07:39. > :07:42.campaign to push for a new search. We are such a sailing nation that

:07:43. > :07:43.everybody knows somebody who is a sailor.

:07:44. > :07:46.everybody knows somebody who is a agree with what the sailors think

:07:47. > :07:53.and they want more people out there searching. Extraordinary rescues at

:07:54. > :07:57.sea are possible. 27 years ago, Tony Bullimore survived five days

:07:58. > :08:00.clinging to his upturned yacht in the treacherous Southern Ocean. He

:08:01. > :08:06.says the Americans should rethink their decision. The crew are all

:08:07. > :08:10.pretty fit, experienced guys. They have the right equipment, a good

:08:11. > :08:13.life raft, life jackets and the other equipment that goes with them.

:08:14. > :08:19.They could well and truly be out there waiting for somebody to rescue

:08:20. > :08:23.them. It is a view shared by Susan, who took part in the same race that

:08:24. > :08:28.the missing men had been in. Since Sunday, nobody has been looking for

:08:29. > :08:35.them. That is the frustration. Every hour that passes, we are wasting

:08:36. > :08:39.time. The US Coast Guard has rescued people for more than 200 years. It

:08:40. > :08:41.knows its business. With these men unaccounted for, it is facing police

:08:42. > :08:50.to search again. The reality is that it has been five

:08:51. > :08:54.days since these men were last heard of. Unless there is an organised

:08:55. > :08:56.search, the chances of another passing ship coming along and

:08:57. > :09:00.finding anything are getting more and more remove, which is why we are

:09:01. > :09:04.here this lunchtime that some members of the families of the men

:09:05. > :09:08.wanted the Prime Minister, David Cameron, to get involved. The truth

:09:09. > :09:09.is, the window of hope and the of opportunity is narrowing with every

:09:10. > :09:12.hour. The trial of Rolf Harris has been

:09:13. > :09:15.hearing from the fourth and final alleged victim, who has

:09:16. > :09:18.waived her right to anonymity. Tonya Lee told

:09:19. > :09:20.the court how he allegedly assaulted The former entertainer is charged

:09:21. > :09:26.with 12 counts of indecent assault, Sangita Myska is

:09:27. > :09:40.at Southwark crown court. What has the court been hearing this

:09:41. > :09:44.morning? That's right, as you say, we have been hearing from Tonya Lee,

:09:45. > :09:49.Rolf Harris's for alleged victim. She is now 43. We can name her

:09:50. > :09:53.because she has waived her right to anonymity, because she has given a

:09:54. > :09:57.series of paid interviews about her story in Australia. She told the

:09:58. > :10:01.court that in 1986 she was 15 years old. She flew to London from Sydney

:10:02. > :10:05.with an Australian theatre group. Altogether there were 14 or 15

:10:06. > :10:11.people, including three adults. She says when they arrived at Heathrow

:10:12. > :10:15.Airport, she was met, along with the others, by Rolf Harris because he

:10:16. > :10:19.was a friend of the director. She said that they went to dinner at a

:10:20. > :10:23.London pub, busy with other people. She said it was a happy atmosphere

:10:24. > :10:27.and they had been singing and making jokes. She said, one point, Rolf

:10:28. > :10:31.Harris beckoned her over to sit on his knee and she didn't think

:10:32. > :10:36.anything of it because he was such a well-known face on television, both

:10:37. > :10:40.here and in Australia. She went on to say it was then that he carried

:10:41. > :10:44.out his first alleged indecent assault by putting his hand up her

:10:45. > :10:47.skirt. She said she was frightened and went to the toilet to get away,

:10:48. > :10:52.but when she came out Rolf Harris was standing outside. She said he

:10:53. > :10:55.then gave her a bear hug. During that time, he indecently assaulted

:10:56. > :11:01.her one more time by putting his hand down her blouse. She said she

:11:02. > :11:06.was very frightened and confused but did not tell anyone because she felt

:11:07. > :11:07.she would not be believed. The case continues. Rolf Harris denies all of

:11:08. > :11:10.the charges against him. Marks and Spencer's annual profits

:11:11. > :11:12.have fallen The retailer's underlying profits

:11:13. > :11:18.were down 3.9%, to ?623 million. Its Chief Executive, Mark Bolland,

:11:19. > :11:20.said the food part of the business had grown,

:11:21. > :11:22.but sales of general merchandise Our business correspondent

:11:23. > :11:37.Emma Simpson reports. The clothes look nice and sunny. But

:11:38. > :11:42.the same cannot be said for Marks Spencer's profits. Although food is

:11:43. > :11:45.doing well, it has been another year of disappointing sales in women's

:11:46. > :11:49.fashion. I think that they have not moved as far as it needs to move. It

:11:50. > :11:53.hasn't met its key targets in profits or sales. It is actually, if

:11:54. > :11:58.anything, falling backwards in terms of market share. The main thrust of

:11:59. > :12:03.the problem as it has not got to grips with its womenswear business.

:12:04. > :12:08.Getting this bit right is crucial for M It has been revamping

:12:09. > :12:14.clothes and stores to try and get women's fashion back on track. After

:12:15. > :12:18.several years of declining sales, it is taking time. M have injected

:12:19. > :12:22.more fashion content into their ranges. You can see that in their

:12:23. > :12:26.stores. It is definitely an improvement, but there is still a

:12:27. > :12:31.long way to go in order to really meet customer needs. M has spent

:12:32. > :12:36.?1 billion in the last three years trying to revitalise the business.

:12:37. > :12:40.For instance, it is heavily promoting its new look website right

:12:41. > :12:45.now. The question is, when will all of this investment start to pay off?

:12:46. > :12:48.The company says it is now in much better shape to produce stronger

:12:49. > :12:52.returns. But it warns that sales could be hit over the next few

:12:53. > :12:57.months as customers get used to the new website. But in retail it all

:12:58. > :13:00.comes down to the product and whether shoppers want to buy.

:13:01. > :13:05.Opinion is still mixed. I like Marks Opinion is still mixed. I like Marks

:13:06. > :13:09.Spencer 's and I go there a lot. But it's not as good as it used to

:13:10. > :13:14.be. I think they have far too much stuff in there. The price and

:13:15. > :13:19.quality, it does actually make sense, you know? You get quality for

:13:20. > :13:27.your money. I usually have a lot to see if there is anything, but I can

:13:28. > :13:30.never find anything. M says that progress is being made, but with all

:13:31. > :13:33.of this investment in place it knows it really needs to deliver.

:13:34. > :13:36.Thailand's army has declared martial law, it says to restore order

:13:37. > :13:39.after six months of street protests that have left the country without

:13:40. > :13:43.The military have denied that this was a de-facto coup

:13:44. > :13:46.and have called for talks between the rival political factions.

:13:47. > :13:57.Jonah Fisher, our correspondent in Bangkok, has just sent this report.

:13:58. > :14:04.After seven months of demonstrations on the streets of the capital, the

:14:05. > :14:09.Army decided it had seen enough. In the early hours of this morning,

:14:10. > :14:20.troops moved in, blocking Bangkok streets, surrounding protest sites

:14:21. > :14:22.and occupying television stations. The army commander, General Prayuth,

:14:23. > :14:28.declared that martial law had been introduced, to prevents Billy Bragg

:14:29. > :14:32.reprint bloodshed and restore stability. He stopped short of

:14:33. > :14:35.announcing a coup. But the military is now firmly in charge and the

:14:36. > :14:41.status of the elected government is a vague. It is not clear what forced

:14:42. > :14:45.the Army's hand. But as the protests have dragged on, they have become

:14:46. > :14:49.ever more violent and unpredictable. This week, the leader

:14:50. > :14:54.of the anti-government movement called for a final battle in what

:14:55. > :14:58.has become an increasingly desperate attempt to seize power. Many of his

:14:59. > :15:03.supporters are wealthy Bangkok residents and they see politics as

:15:04. > :15:09.having been hopelessly corrupted by the former feminist, Thaksin

:15:10. > :15:16.Shinawatra. Two weeks ago, the court forced his sister to step down. But

:15:17. > :15:19.the protests have continued. Much will now depend on how the

:15:20. > :15:24.government's supporters, for now camped outside Bangkok, respond to

:15:25. > :15:28.the Army's move. For now, there is an almost eerie calm here. Many

:15:29. > :15:32.soldiers have returned to barracks. On the surface at least, this is a

:15:33. > :15:42.very discreet form of martial law. Having decided to step in, the onus

:15:43. > :15:43.is now on the military to broker some kind of way out of Thailand's

:15:44. > :15:55.political crisis. the first time in ten months. House

:15:56. > :15:59.prices were up to in the year to March in London by 17%.

:16:00. > :16:03.And still to come: Unwrapping the secrets of the Egyptian mummies. New

:16:04. > :16:10.scans reveal details never seen before.

:16:11. > :16:13.Later on BBC London, 70 years on from the Normandy landings, D-Day

:16:14. > :16:19.veterans mark the anniversary on HMS Belfast.

:16:20. > :16:27.And, why the Science Museum's Denman Horn is making waves again.

:16:28. > :16:34.No-one who fought in the First World War is alive today and children of

:16:35. > :16:37.today are unlikely to have ever met someone who lived during the Great

:16:38. > :16:41.War. So, making a personal connection to the past can be hard,

:16:42. > :16:45.but from today, the Government will pay for two children from every

:16:46. > :16:47.secondary school in England to visit battlefield sites in Belgium and

:16:48. > :16:50.France. It's hoped it will give them a

:16:51. > :16:54.deeper understanding of the conflict and they'll share their knowledge

:16:55. > :16:55.when they come home. Robert Hall accompanied students on

:16:56. > :17:11.one of the first tours. Under the great arch of the Menin

:17:12. > :17:15.Gate. The British children who're standard

:17:16. > :17:24.bearers for their schools and their communities.

:17:25. > :17:28.I'm going to be around over the next couple of days helping you get the

:17:29. > :17:33.most from this battlefield tour. Over the next four years, 8,000

:17:34. > :17:38.children will share an experience which offers remembrance but above

:17:39. > :17:40.all, a deeper understanding. The aim is to convince every student that

:17:41. > :17:42.the story of a is to convince every student that

:17:43. > :17:50.connect with. is to convince every student that

:17:51. > :17:55.I think seeing like actual pictures and finding out through this

:17:56. > :17:59.everything about them kind of gives more than a 3D effect of who they

:18:00. > :18:02.were. It's going to bring it alive to them so much more and make them

:18:03. > :18:07.more in tune with their community and locality and hopefully give them

:18:08. > :18:10.even more of a passion for history. The following morning, they were

:18:11. > :18:14.travelling across the Belgian battlefields. I want to talk briefly

:18:15. > :18:19.about the third Battle of Ypres. It's easy to be overwhelmed by the

:18:20. > :18:30.11,000 white gravestones which line the slopes of the cemetery. But

:18:31. > :18:35.these visitors have a focus. Sam and Regan have tracked down one

:18:36. > :18:45.man who's also commemorated on their local war memorial.

:18:46. > :18:51.This was 100 years ago. A couple of years, we could be going off to war

:18:52. > :18:56.as well. It's almost scary in a way that this could have been us.

:18:57. > :18:58.14-year-old Charlotte has that this could have been us.

:18:59. > :19:03.that her great great uncle lies in that this could have been us.

:19:04. > :19:06.another cemetery close by. A century on, she

:19:07. > :19:11.another cemetery close by. A century behalf of his family.

:19:12. > :19:17.It was a bit emotional, but yes, I just wanted to just say a little

:19:18. > :19:18.prayer in my head and yes. I think it's really important

:19:19. > :19:22.prayer in my head and yes. I think it's really because again, you feel

:19:23. > :19:27.a connection to the people that are here and I guess it's another

:19:28. > :19:30.opportunity because these people when their family passes, they won't

:19:31. > :19:38.get to have people visit their graves.

:19:39. > :19:38.In the going down of the sun and in the morn

:19:39. > :19:43.them. These young people will share them. These young people will share

:19:44. > :19:48.their experiences and knowledge back home, bringing history alive for

:19:49. > :19:57.their class mates and families. Their journey does not end when the

:19:58. > :20:02.bugles fade. The Prime Minister has welcomed the

:20:03. > :20:06.conviction in the United States of the radical preacher, Abu Hamza, but

:20:07. > :20:10.David Cameron's promised to review the lengthy extradition system if he

:20:11. > :20:12.wins the next general election. The radical Muslim cleric faces a

:20:13. > :20:15.possible life sentence after being found guilty of supporting terrorism

:20:16. > :20:17.by a court in New York. Our Security Correspondent, Frank Gardner joins

:20:18. > :20:21.me now. It's been a very lengthy process,

:20:22. > :20:24.and much of the evidence on which he was convicted came from this country

:20:25. > :20:29.in the first place, so why wasn't he convicted here? I put exactly that

:20:30. > :20:32.question today to the Crown Prosecution Service because the main

:20:33. > :20:36.thing he was convicted for in the States in this court was his role in

:20:37. > :20:41.the kidnapping of 16 western tourists by a very ruthless armed

:20:42. > :20:46.gang back in 1998. As you rightly say, he wasn't convicted of that in

:20:47. > :20:51.the UK, he was convicted of that in the US of incitement to murder. On

:20:52. > :20:56.two separate occasions they say they tried to bring the case against him.

:20:57. > :21:00.They worked with senior prosecutors and officers to bring the case

:21:01. > :21:03.against him and they decided they simply didn't have enough evidence.

:21:04. > :21:06.They say there were things used in the US court against him that would

:21:07. > :21:10.not have been admissible in the UK. They won't say what they were, but

:21:11. > :21:14.one of the things that was instrumental in this was the

:21:15. > :21:19.satellite phone that he supplied to the kidnappers and he spoke to the

:21:20. > :21:25.kidnappers during the ordeal of the 16 western hostages. That's one of

:21:26. > :21:29.the things that appears post appears to have gone for him in this case.

:21:30. > :21:35.New research suggests using electronic cigarettes does help

:21:36. > :21:38.people give up smoking. A study of around 6,000 e-cigarette smokers in

:21:39. > :21:43.England found the success race was around 60% higher than those who

:21:44. > :21:48.used will power alone, nicotine patches or even gum. Here is Branwen

:21:49. > :21:52.jetries. Suddenly you see them everywhere. E-cigarettes are easy to

:21:53. > :21:56.buy over-the-counter, but how good are they at helping you give up?

:21:57. > :22:00.Some health experts say they are helping make cigarettes seem normal.

:22:01. > :22:05.They worry it could encourage smoking to linger as a habit. But

:22:06. > :22:08.this research suggests that right now, they may be making a

:22:09. > :22:11.difference. Smoking rates are coming down, the

:22:12. > :22:14.rates at which people are trying to stop smoking are going up, the rates

:22:15. > :22:19.at which people are succeeding at stopping smoking is going up, the

:22:20. > :22:22.proportion of people using e-cigarettes who've never smoked is

:22:23. > :22:29.extremely low. This research on quitting smoking

:22:30. > :22:33.looked at different methods. More than 5,800 smokers were asked about

:22:34. > :22:39.their experience. It found e-cigarettes were 61% better than

:22:40. > :22:44.will power alone or than buying nicotine patches over-the-counter.

:22:45. > :22:50.NHS Stop Smoking Services which also offers support worked best. What it

:22:51. > :22:54.doesn't tell us is whether e-cids help people stay a non-smoker. We

:22:55. > :22:58.are reasonably confident that in what we know about the rate of

:22:59. > :23:01.relapse when people have stopped for a given length of time that any

:23:02. > :23:05.benefits that we have observed now will probably continue.

:23:06. > :23:10.The amount of nicotine in e-cids varies greatly. As a commercial

:23:11. > :23:17.product, there's no set standard. Critics want to see them more

:23:18. > :23:20.tightly regulated. The Police Federation meets today

:23:21. > :23:24.with the Annual Conference dominated by the row over allegations of

:23:25. > :23:27.bullying. The BBC has been told about new claims that a senior

:23:28. > :23:32.official was bullied at a federation meeting. Let's go to Bournemouth and

:23:33. > :23:35.speak to our Home Affairs correspondent, Matt Prodger.

:23:36. > :23:37.Mat. That's just the latest allegation of

:23:38. > :23:41.bullying within the Police Federation. It's actually been

:23:42. > :23:45.dismissed by the federation itself and indeed the alleged victim of

:23:46. > :23:49.that particular bullying claim, the vice chairman of the organisation,

:23:50. > :23:53.Steve White, has said he's not a bully. But it contributes to the

:23:54. > :23:57.perception of an organisation that's been out of control and

:23:58. > :24:01.unaccountable. Indeed, it was described today as crude and

:24:02. > :24:05.disrespectful, not by an MP, not by a Government, but by one of the men

:24:06. > :24:10.who's hoping to lead this federation at the end of this conference, a man

:24:11. > :24:14.called Will Richards, saying they had been crude and disrespectful,

:24:15. > :24:17.they made enemies in Government when they should have been looking for

:24:18. > :24:22.friends and that they had targeted individuals, a reference there to

:24:23. > :24:26.plebgate back in 2012 when Andrew Mitchell, the Government minister,

:24:27. > :24:29.was forced out of the Government and there was Police Federation

:24:30. > :24:33.involvement there. Now, there's been a couple of reviews since then, both

:24:34. > :24:37.stinging in their criticism of the federation, not just bullying, but

:24:38. > :24:41.scrutiny of its finances and a need for greater accountability. So

:24:42. > :24:47.that's what the delegates here will be voting on over coming days, a

:24:48. > :24:51.wide-ranging reform, most of which will go through, some may not. What

:24:52. > :24:56.we can say is that, after this conference, the Police Federation

:24:57. > :25:01.which represents 125,000 officers in England and Wales, is unlikely to be

:25:02. > :25:04.the same again. Be Thank you. The Premier League's

:25:05. > :25:07.Chief Executive, Richard skewed me, remains under pressure today as the

:25:08. > :25:12.FA's PROBLEM WITH SOUND

:25:13. > :25:16.He was told yesterday by the Premier League that he won't face

:25:17. > :25:20.disciplinary action over the messages which were leaked to a

:25:21. > :25:23.newspaper. It said that although the e-mails included inappropriate

:25:24. > :25:26.remarks, there was no evidence of wider discriminatory attitudes. Our

:25:27. > :25:33.sports correspondent, Nat Liz Perks reports.

:25:34. > :25:37.-- Natalie Perks. The backing of his 17 clubs. The process that kept

:25:38. > :25:42.Richard Scudamore in his job has left the Premier League open to

:25:43. > :25:46.criticism with the PA who exposed derogatory e-mails describing it as

:25:47. > :25:50.a whitewash. The Premier League hired external legal advisers to

:25:51. > :25:53.help clubs reach a decision, but campaign group Kick It Out believes

:25:54. > :25:58.a more independent inquiry was needed.

:25:59. > :26:01.We could have had a proper process that was fair, independent and

:26:02. > :26:05.objective, probably arrived at the same conclusion, but most people

:26:06. > :26:11.would have felt there was justice in the way in which it was conducted.

:26:12. > :26:16.We now need to see that addressed in future, that there is a proper

:26:17. > :26:20.process, one that most people believe applied to everyone. Greg

:26:21. > :26:23.Dyke maintained taking action against Scudamore was outstied FA's

:26:24. > :26:28.remit. The BBC understands legal advice sent to the likes of Heather

:26:29. > :26:32.Rabbatts, chair of the inclusion and viery board which meets later this

:26:33. > :26:35.afternoon, argues there is no law stopping the governing boaty from

:26:36. > :26:39.taking the matter further. It's a move that would be welcomed. Women

:26:44. > :26:46.about demonstrating that all the messages that come out of football

:26:47. > :26:49.about equality that women are important are going to be put into

:26:50. > :26:53.action. The Premier League insists Scudamore has the full support of

:27:19. > :27:24.they ate and even how they died. Pallab gauche reports.

:27:25. > :27:29.An ancient burial casket that's never been opened since it was

:27:30. > :27:34.sealed thousands of years ago. Very soon, researchers will be able to

:27:35. > :27:40.see the woman inside. This is how we used to see mummies,

:27:41. > :27:45.entombed in their burial caskets. The CT scans enable us to see right

:27:46. > :27:49.through the casket and even through the bandages.

:27:50. > :27:54.Here is the body of a 40-year-old woman, buried with her precious

:27:55. > :28:00.amlets, it's the first time that has been seen for 4,000 years.

:28:01. > :28:05.And this mummy is of a young girl, seven or eight years old. Even her

:28:06. > :28:09.hair has been preserved. On an emotional level, you become

:28:10. > :28:15.closer to these people, you start to recognise them as individuals who

:28:16. > :28:19.once lived just like ourselves. The enbalmers often got it wrong.

:28:20. > :28:23.This man's head fell off when he was being mummified. It had to be stuck

:28:24. > :28:28.back on with poles, shown in green. The aim of the study is to learn

:28:29. > :28:35.more about the people underneath the bandages, and, in a sense, bring the

:28:36. > :28:42.mummies back to life. Let's have a look at the weather

:28:43. > :28:44.with Phil Avery. Pretty cheery and fair for some

:28:45. > :28:50.parts of the British Isles. There's got to be a but. There is a notion

:28:51. > :28:54.about thunder storms in the afternoon. We have been here, as was

:28:55. > :28:59.coo the case yesterday, the south-west seen much of the action,

:29:00. > :29:03.it's on its way across the Bristol channel now. As you see, as the

:29:04. > :29:08.afternoon progresses, it isn't just going to be there. I suspect we are

:29:09. > :29:11.seeing the first signs of the showers beginning to develop

:29:12. > :29:14.elsewhere. Remember the headline, some could be thundery in nature if

:29:15. > :29:18.circumstances come together. The south-west of England for the most

:29:19. > :29:20.part, you have had your turn, but in this belt away from central and

:29:21. > :29:24.southern parts of Wales, this belt away from central and

:29:25. > :29:27.the Midlands and north of England, parts of East Anglia, here the rain

:29:28. > :29:30.could develop during the course of the afternoon. A lull in proceedings

:29:31. > :29:33.for Northern Ireland after a wet morning, northern England too at

:29:34. > :29:36.this stage fine and dry. Don't discount the possibility where the

:29:37. > :29:41.heat's broken through across the north of Scotland, 22 in one or two

:29:42. > :29:45.spots here, that we may find one or two thunder storms popping off.

:29:46. > :29:50.Before this arc of potential, and I do stress potential, thunder storm

:29:51. > :29:54.activity and heavy downpours works its way across the northern half to

:29:55. > :29:57.reside across the north-west on a night that will be a tad fresher

:29:58. > :30:00.than was the case during the course of last night. Mist and fog around,

:30:01. > :30:05.perhaps across the south-east, maybe Wales and the south-west. Murky

:30:06. > :30:09.across the north-east and the Northern Isles tomorrow. A sandwich,

:30:10. > :30:12.if you like. Rain across the far north-west, a lot of dry weather and

:30:13. > :30:15.rain coming out through East Anglia and the south-east and France. As

:30:16. > :30:20.the heat gets going again, we may pop off some showers across southern

:30:21. > :30:24.England, through the Midlands, one or two spray ones further north. The

:30:25. > :30:26.prospects for Chelsea. I was pessimistic about Tuesday and

:30:27. > :30:30.Wednesday. Wednesday looks half decent. A different beast on

:30:31. > :30:36.Thursday though, and near again, we are looking away towards the south.

:30:37. > :30:39.Warmth and moisture again. The Met Office already have concerns about

:30:40. > :30:42.the intensity of the rainfall.ivity could be, and again it is a bit of a

:30:43. > :30:46.could, across Wales and the south-west, we could see 40mm of

:30:47. > :30:50.rain and then that rain drives towards the central goal finish off

:30:51. > :30:52.the day, something cooler again across the northern parts of

:30:53. > :30:58.Scotland. Come Friday, much of that rain will be confined to the borders

:30:59. > :31:01.area of Scotland, maybe the odd drib and drab in the south-west. A lot of

:31:02. > :31:05.dry weather elsewhere and the temperatures very pleasant indeed,

:31:06. > :31:08.maxing at about 20 or so. Lots going on. Back again tomorrow to bring you

:31:09. > :31:12.the very latest. Thank you very much.

:31:13. > :31:16.Now a reminder of the top story: Inflation has risen for the first

:31:17. > :31:22.time in ten months. House prices were up too in the year to March in

:31:23. > :31:24.London by 17%. That is all from us. Now
