It's 120-years-old today! We're at Tower Bridge - one of the most

:01:00.:01:02.

Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:01:03.:01:25.

The former News of the World editor, Andy Coulson, and the paper's royal

:01:26.:01:28.

editor, Clive Goodman, are to face a new trial over allegations they

:01:29.:01:32.

paid police officers for royal telephone directories.

:01:33.:01:36.

Last week, a jury failed to reach a verdict on

:01:37.:01:38.

the charges, but convicted Coulson of conspiracy to hack phones.

:01:39.:01:42.

From the Old Bailey, our home affairs correspondent,

:01:43.:01:45.

He's facing prison and months more legal uncertainty. For Andy Coulson,

:01:46.:01:57.

the end of the eight-month phone-hacking trial is only the end

:01:58.:02:00.

of one chapter of the legal saga he's caught up in. These

:02:01.:02:04.

confidential royal phone directories are at the heart of the charges he

:02:05.:02:09.

still faces. Purchased by Andy Coulson's News of the World, at the

:02:10.:02:12.

request of his then Royal Editor, Clive Goodman. They both deny paying

:02:13.:02:18.

officers to obtain them, what the law describes conspiring to commit

:02:19.:02:21.

misconduct in public office. That's for later. This morning's main

:02:22.:02:26.

business was the speeches that will help the judge decide what sentences

:02:27.:02:31.

to hand down. In total, of eight charged with phone-hacking, six were

:02:32.:02:36.

convicted and the prosecutor said that they were highly paid and

:02:37.:02:41.

influential executives who corrupted a newspaper which became at the very

:02:42.:02:45.

highest levels a criminal enterprise. As well as Coulson in

:02:46.:02:56.

the dock are the former news editors, Dan Evans, Glenn Mulcaire

:02:57.:03:02.

and Neville Thurlbeck, once the paper's chief reporter. The evidence

:03:03.:03:07.

was overwhelming. Glenn Mulcaire kept notebooks in which he recorded

:03:08.:03:12.

at the top left of each page the name of whoever commissioned his

:03:13.:03:17.

work - in this case Neville Thurlbeck. The prosecutor told the

:03:18.:03:21.

judge: The sentences are expected to be

:03:22.:03:36.

handed down on Friday, bringing to its end what all involved have taken

:03:37.:03:48.

to calling trial one. Andy Coulson is to face a retrial. What factors

:03:49.:03:51.

would the Crown Prosecution Service have to weigh up in deciding that?

:03:52.:03:56.

Well, prosecutors start from the position that it is in the public

:03:57.:03:59.

interest for there to be a retrial, for there to be a verdict. They have

:04:00.:04:03.

to decide whether there is enough evidence to justify going ahead. Has

:04:04.:04:09.

the evidence changed in any way? Have witnesses decided they can't no

:04:10.:04:13.

longer give evidence? And they also have to look at whether the jury

:04:14.:04:17.

failed to reach a verdict for any particular reason. Now, there is no

:04:18.:04:20.

suggestion of any particular reason playing a part in the jury's

:04:21.:04:24.

decisions here last week. It is fair to say that Mr Coulson's legal team

:04:25.:04:29.

will be arguing at future hearings that he can't face a possible

:04:30.:04:33.

retrial fairly because of the level of publicity there was following his

:04:34.:04:38.

conviction last week. One other piece of information that's come out

:04:39.:04:42.

of court that is relevant this lunch time. It was made clear to the judge

:04:43.:04:47.

and to everybody at court that Mr Coulson and the others face a

:04:48.:04:51.

maximum two-year sentence for the phone-hacking charges. That's under

:04:52.:04:58.

the Conspiracy to Intercept Telecommunications charges, which

:04:59.:05:01.

would mean that Mr Coulson might be released within a year. That is if

:05:02.:05:03.

he got the full sentence. David Cameron says he WILL now work

:05:04.:05:08.

with the new President of the European Commission,

:05:09.:05:11.

despite having argued for months that Jean-Claude Juncker

:05:12.:05:13.

was "the wrong person" for the job. This afternoon he'll appear

:05:14.:05:16.

before MPs to explain why he lost the battle to stop

:05:17.:05:19.

the former Prime Minister Downing Street said this morning the

:05:20.:05:21.

defeat in Europe would "redouble the Here's our political correspondent,

:05:22.:05:26.

Vicki Young. David Cameron spent weeks opposing

:05:27.:05:33.

Jean-Claude Juncker's appointment but that battle has been lost and

:05:34.:05:36.

Mr Cameron has no choice but to work with a man he tried

:05:37.:05:39.

so hard to block. Let me be absolutely clear. This is

:05:40.:05:42.

a bad day for Europe. But Mr Cameron has to build bridges,

:05:43.:05:50.

starting with a phone call yesterday to Mr Juncker

:05:51.:05:53.

congratulating him on his new job. The Prime Minister insists he can do

:05:54.:05:58.

business with the new Commission President, but in an article for the

:05:59.:06:02.

Telegraph he was defiant, writing: "Sometimes it is possible to

:06:03.:06:06.

be isolated and to be right." On renegotiating the EU's

:06:07.:06:10.

membership he said: "I do not deny that it has made the

:06:11.:06:13.

task harder and the stakes higher. Some Euro-sceptic Conservatives

:06:14.:06:17.

think it will be very difficult to get concessions from other EU

:06:18.:06:23.

leaders but they think One of the levers is that

:06:24.:06:26.

people don't want us to leave. That is real. The Germans don't want

:06:27.:06:31.

us to leave. We support their free market approach. Others don't want

:06:32.:06:35.

us to leave because we are a counterweight to the Franco-German

:06:36.:06:37.

axis so that is powerful. Labour say Mr Cameron is isolated

:06:38.:06:43.

and the appointment of Mr Juncker is a personal defeat

:06:44.:06:46.

and a diplomatic humiliation. My objection is not just to his

:06:47.:06:50.

tactics but also to his strategy. He seems to think that wandering the

:06:51.:06:55.

corridors of Brussels, threatening to leave the European Union

:06:56.:06:58.

increases Britain's negotiating muscle. All the evidence indicates

:06:59.:07:02.

it has had the reverse effect. David Cameron may have lost this

:07:03.:07:06.

battle but he says it shows other EU leaders that he is willing to stick

:07:07.:07:10.

to his principles even That's gone down well with some

:07:11.:07:13.

of his own Euro-sceptic MPs, but critics say he's failed to

:07:14.:07:19.

build alliances with other countries and that doesn't bode well

:07:20.:07:23.

for any future negotiations. Let's speak to our chief political

:07:24.:07:26.

correspondent, Norman Smith. David Cameron says that it is

:07:27.:07:40.

possible to be isolated and right and presumably that will be his

:07:41.:07:45.

message to MPs this afternoon? Mr Cameron is intent on trying to

:07:46.:07:50.

snatch victory from the jaws of that shattering defeat in Brussels when

:07:51.:07:55.

he was routed by 26 votes to two in his opposition to Jean-Claude

:07:56.:07:58.

Juncker. He will tell his MPs I didn't back off, I didn't blink,

:07:59.:08:02.

he's shown other EU countries we are not bluffing when we talk about

:08:03.:08:06.

leaving the EU and he believes he's beginning to win the argument. He

:08:07.:08:10.

faces two huge challenges. One from some of his own Euro-sceptic MPs who

:08:11.:08:15.

seem intent on ratcheting up the pressure on him, by demanding he

:08:16.:08:19.

gets back more and more powers and the expectation he will fail and

:08:20.:08:23.

therefore Britain will leave. The other from other EU leaders. On

:08:24.:08:35.

Friday, he only had one other ally - Hungary. The German Finance

:08:36.:08:40.

Minister, a close friend of Chancellor Merkel, said this morning

:08:41.:08:44.

it was unthinkable, unimaginable that Britain could leave the EU, but

:08:45.:08:49.

he also said it was unthinkable, unimaginable to have a football

:08:50.:08:53.

World Cup without England and as we know, England were eliminated in the

:08:54.:08:55.

first round. The Islamist group ISIS has said

:08:56.:08:58.

it's establishing an Islamic state, or caliphate, made up of areas it

:08:59.:09:02.

now controls in Iraq and Syria. The announcement came

:09:03.:09:07.

amid continued fighting this morning between the insurgents and Iraqi

:09:08.:09:10.

government forces around Saddam Here's our security

:09:11.:09:13.

correspondent Frank Gardner. Celebrating the caliphate. Jihadists

:09:14.:09:29.

in eastern Syria greet the announcement. A strict Islamic

:09:30.:09:32.

caliphate stretching across the border with Iraq and ruled by the

:09:33.:09:38.

extremist group ISIS. Now renamed the Islamic State. They bulldozed

:09:39.:09:43.

their way through the border, merging the areas they have seized,

:09:44.:09:48.

areas now lost to the governments in Baghdad and Damascus. And they are

:09:49.:09:52.

posting it all online, trumpeting what they see as the end of the old

:09:53.:09:58.

colonial border, drawn up by the pact of 1916. This is all one

:09:59.:10:12.

country. There is no more. Iraq's government forces are fighting back

:10:13.:10:16.

in places. Here they appear to have retaken a border crossing with

:10:17.:10:20.

Jordan. Iraqi state television has been broadcasting their alleged

:10:21.:10:24.

successes, but the truth is that both Iraq and Syria are now deeply

:10:25.:10:31.

damaged countries, facing a violent and potent insurgency. We have seen

:10:32.:10:35.

a group that has gone from being one of the losing sides of the

:10:36.:10:39.

insurgency in Iraq, to being something that is dominating the

:10:40.:10:43.

insurgency in Syria, to now surge back into Iraq to take over this

:10:44.:10:48.

large piece of territory. Russian fighter jets have arrived in

:10:49.:10:50.

Baghdad, requested by the government to push back the jihadist advance.

:10:51.:10:55.

Iraq doesn't have an air force to speak of and there are doubts over

:10:56.:10:59.

who will fly them. And Iraq will need far more than air strikes to

:11:00.:11:02.

recover the ground it's lost. Let's speak to our correspondent in

:11:03.:11:06.

Baghdad, Rafid Jaboori. What reaction has there been in

:11:07.:11:18.

Baghdad to this declaration by ISIS? Well, let's talk about Tikrit where

:11:19.:11:24.

fierce fighting is taking place between the government forces, the

:11:25.:11:28.

Iraqi troops and the militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and ISIS.

:11:29.:11:34.

This is the major counterattack launched by the Iraqi forces since

:11:35.:11:40.

they lost vast areas in northern and western Iraq over the past few

:11:41.:11:46.

weeks. It is very unfortunate for the Iraqi troops and for the

:11:47.:11:49.

government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to get that done in order

:11:50.:11:56.

to restore the pride of his forces, which is not an easy task. Here in

:11:57.:12:02.

Baghdad, everyone is talking about that battle. This country - the

:12:03.:12:08.

public opinion here is significantly divided across the sectarian line,

:12:09.:12:12.

the Shia-Sunni sectarian line over that fight and over this whole issue

:12:13.:12:16.

with the confrontation between the government and ISIS. Thank you.

:12:17.:12:19.

In South Africa, the trial of Oscar Pistorius has resumed, with a

:12:20.:12:23.

ruling that the Paralympic athlete IS fit to stand trial for the murder

:12:24.:12:26.

The trial had been adjourned for more than a month, while

:12:27.:12:32.

But today, the court ruled he HADN'T been mentally ill when he shot

:12:33.:12:37.

From Pretoria, Andrew Harding reports.

:12:38.:12:44.

REPORTER: How are you feeling? Back in court after a month of mental

:12:45.:12:51.

evaluation, Oscar Pistorius's own psychiatrist had earlier diagnosed a

:12:52.:12:56.

general anxiety disorder. Today, the court was told that a panel of

:12:57.:13:00.

experts had found nothing significantly wrong with the

:13:01.:13:04.

athlete. Mr Pistorius did not suffer from a mental defect or mental

:13:05.:13:07.

illness at the time of the commission of the offence. That

:13:08.:13:12.

would have rendered him criminally not responsible for the offences

:13:13.:13:17.

charged. The main focus today was on his physical condition. With the

:13:18.:13:21.

doctor who amputated his legs as a child, he described how he still

:13:22.:13:26.

struggles without prosthetic legs. The doctor, declining to be filmed

:13:27.:13:31.

in court. His ability to turn around is severely impaired by his lack of

:13:32.:13:37.

balance and the instability of his stumps. On his stumps in a dangerous

:13:38.:13:43.

situation, his ability of fleeing is severely impaired and his ability to

:13:44.:13:48.

ward off danger is severely impaired. At one point, Oscar

:13:49.:13:52.

Pistorius was asked to remove his prosthetic legs. The judge came

:13:53.:13:57.

forward to inspect his stumps as the athlete's doctor explained why it

:13:58.:14:01.

was difficult and painful for the athlete to walk. The defence wants

:14:02.:14:07.

to highlight Pistorius's acute sense of vulnerability the night he shot

:14:08.:14:11.

dead his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. But the prosecutor was

:14:12.:14:18.

sceptical. The most amazing part of this is - walking to the bathroom on

:14:19.:14:28.

the accused's version, firing the shots, running back from the

:14:29.:14:37.

bathroom, all done in the dark. The defence then called an acoustics

:14:38.:14:42.

expert whose task is to show why those neighbours who insist they

:14:43.:14:45.

heard a woman screaming that night could have been mistaken.

:14:46.:14:52.

One of the four crew involved in a high-speed collision between two

:14:53.:14:55.

RAF jets in Scotland was suffering from a fear of flying at the time.

:14:56.:14:58.

Investigators believe it was one of the contributory factors but not

:14:59.:15:02.

James Cook is outside RAF Lossiemouth.

:15:03.:15:27.

since this accident happened, involving two Tornado jets which

:15:28.:15:31.

were on training missions, when they collided, with the deaths of three

:15:32.:15:41.

of the people on board. A fourth man was badly hurt, but he did survive.

:15:42.:15:47.

Today's report by the Military Aviation Authority identifies 17

:15:48.:15:50.

contributory factors to this accident, and rather startlingly,

:15:51.:15:55.

perhaps, one of them is this evidence that a weapons systems

:15:56.:16:00.

operator, one of the crew, who was sitting in the back of one of the

:16:01.:16:03.

aircraft, had essentially developed a fear of flying. It was known

:16:04.:16:08.

about, according to the report, and yet he was still up in the aircraft

:16:09.:16:13.

that day. In terms of the other factors, ineffective supervision of

:16:14.:16:16.

the training programme, and the flights on that day. That is also

:16:17.:16:22.

raised as a problem in the report, as is the absence of a collision

:16:23.:16:25.

warning system on the aircraft, which might possibly have given them

:16:26.:16:29.

a few seconds to prevent this accident. The Ministry of Defence

:16:30.:16:35.

say that is now being tested on Tornados, and that there will always

:16:36.:16:39.

be a certain element of risk in these flights, and that its thoughts

:16:40.:16:42.

are with the families of those who died. Our main headline... A former

:16:43.:16:52.

editor of the News of the World Andy Coulson is to face a retrial over

:16:53.:16:57.

allegations he made illegal payments to police officers. I live at

:16:58.:17:01.

Wimbledon, where Andy Murray is facing a tall task today, in more

:17:02.:17:08.

later on BBC One, the wrestler hoping to become a role model for

:17:09.:17:13.

women. And we will have a full weather forecast. First it was

:17:14.:17:31.

biting. Now, attention at the World Cup has turned to diving, after

:17:32.:17:35.

Arjen Robben admitted faking a fall during his team's victory over

:17:36.:17:41.

Mexico. He told a TV channel that it had been a stupid, stupid thing to

:17:42.:17:45.

do. The Mexicans have said the striker should have been sent off.

:17:46.:17:49.

We can go now to Ben Brown in Rio de Janeiro. It is not often footballers

:17:50.:17:56.

admit diving, but that is what Arjen Robben has done. He said, I have to

:17:57.:18:02.

apologise, in the first half, I took a dive, and I really should not do

:18:03.:18:06.

that. Does that open him up to a charge from FIFA? Under their

:18:07.:18:12.

disciplinary code, it for bids unsportsmanlike behaviour. Jon Brain

:18:13.:18:16.

reports. Arjen Robben breaking excipient

:18:17.:18:27.

hearts and World Cup hopes, winning the penalty that sent Holland into

:18:28.:18:34.

the quarterfinals. But did he go to ground a little bit too easily?

:18:35.:18:40.

Mexico's coach claims the decision was the culmination of 90 minutes of

:18:41.:18:43.

play acting from a footballer who has got something of a reputation.

:18:44.:18:50.

TRANSLATION: If the referee starts changing things, marking faults

:18:51.:18:55.

which do not exist, then in the end, he invents a penalty, and you

:18:56.:18:59.

leave the World Cup because of circumstances which are not your

:19:00.:19:04.

fault. The striker said seem to have a problem staying on his feet at

:19:05.:19:09.

times. Here, he falls not once, but twice. If there was any contact from

:19:10.:19:14.

the defenders, it appears to have been minimal. In an extraordinary

:19:15.:19:22.

admission after the game, Robben said he had dived.

:19:23.:19:33.

The problem is with Robben, he does it so often, that the referees are

:19:34.:19:40.

put in a horrible position. For such a wonderful player, I wish he would

:19:41.:19:44.

put that out of his game. But Song rushed to the player's defence. Dive

:19:45.:19:52.

or no dive, Holland's Brazilian adventure continues, and it is the

:19:53.:19:54.

Mexicans who are going home. Today it is day 19 in the World Cup,

:19:55.:20:05.

and it is effectively Europe against Africa, with France against Nigeria

:20:06.:20:09.

and Germany against Algeria. No doubt there will be more

:20:10.:20:13.

controversy, and who knows, maybe even a bit of diving.

:20:14.:20:19.

The Italian Navy has found the bodies of 30 dead migrants on board

:20:20.:20:24.

eight packed ship in the Mediterranean, which had about 600

:20:25.:20:28.

people on board. It is thought the refugees asphyxiated. This weekend

:20:29.:20:34.

alone, they said they had rescued 5000 migrants. Our correspondent

:20:35.:20:39.

Alan Johnston is in Rome. What more can you tell us about the deaths,

:20:40.:20:43.

and about how the authorities are coping with this influx? Well, the

:20:44.:20:52.

Italian Navy conducts a major, round-the-clock search and rescue

:20:53.:20:55.

operation in those waters around Sicily. This fishing craft was in

:20:56.:21:01.

distress and it sent a boarding party to investigate. Among the

:21:02.:21:06.

hundreds of migrants pact on board, these 30 dead bodies were

:21:07.:21:09.

discovered, these were passengers who had been travelling crammed into

:21:10.:21:13.

a compartment down below decks, up in the bowel, and it seems they

:21:14.:21:17.

suffocated. There is speculation that perhaps dangerous, choking

:21:18.:21:21.

fumes from the engine might have contributed. We know that on these

:21:22.:21:27.

vessels, sometimes migrants with a little bit more money can pay to

:21:28.:21:31.

travel up on deck in the fresh air, and those with less money are forced

:21:32.:21:34.

to go down below in the more dangerous, sometimes deadly

:21:35.:21:40.

conditions. All the time, the number from places like Syria and all of

:21:41.:21:44.

Africa who are willing to risk this journey seems to be growing. As you

:21:45.:21:49.

said, at the weekend, 5000 people rescued by the Italian Navy, a far

:21:50.:21:53.

higher figure than we have seen over any 48-hour period so far this year.

:21:54.:21:59.

It is straining the Italian capacity to receive these people beyond

:22:00.:22:04.

breaking point. The small town in Sicily where those 30 dead people

:22:05.:22:09.

who are about to be brought in says it just will not have room in the

:22:10.:22:15.

morgue. Britain's biggest union, the Unite

:22:16.:22:19.

union, has promised its full support to Labour at the next general

:22:20.:22:21.

election, despite having cut its funding earlier this year in anger

:22:22.:22:27.

over changes to union links. Their general secretary told a conference

:22:28.:22:33.

that Labour could not fight the election with one hand tied behind

:22:34.:22:37.

its back, and that it needed the union's financial support. John

:22:38.:22:42.

Moylan reports. Len McCluskey has been on a journey. Once a Liverpool

:22:43.:22:48.

dock worker, today he came to his home city to address his union and

:22:49.:22:52.

to draw a line under its long and troubled relationship with the

:22:53.:22:57.

Labour Party. Let there be no doubt, the Unite union stands fully behind

:22:58.:23:02.

Labour and Ed Miliband in the increasingly radical agenda he has

:23:03.:23:07.

outlined. This was Labour MPs meeting in 1906. The party had only

:23:08.:23:12.

just been set up by unions at the start of the previous century. Over

:23:13.:23:15.

the years there have been accusations that unions hold too

:23:16.:23:20.

much influence in its affairs. More recently, Labour was critical of the

:23:21.:23:24.

Unite union's attempts to influence the selection of a Labour candidate

:23:25.:23:29.

in Falkirk. Then there was the row over Ed Miliband's decision to

:23:30.:23:33.

reform the relationship Dwayne the union and the party. But today, Len

:23:34.:23:39.

McCluskey put all of that in the past. Unite will do its bit to make

:23:40.:23:48.

sure the election is not financially lopsided. Democracy demands a fair

:23:49.:23:52.

fight. There was never any doubt that the Unite union would be

:23:53.:23:55.

supporting Labour in the next election, but this is the clearest

:23:56.:23:59.

statement yet that the union will back up that support with funding,

:24:00.:24:03.

will be to the tune of millions of pounds, in order to help Labour take

:24:04.:24:09.

the fight to the Tories. Unite has given ?15 million to Labour since

:24:10.:24:12.

the last election. Today, Downing Street said it amounted to the same

:24:13.:24:18.

old Labour, dominated by unions. Later, the Unite union's members are

:24:19.:24:24.

expected to back a major strike over pay in July.

:24:25.:24:28.

Every employee in the UK will from today have the right to request

:24:29.:24:34.

flexible working hours. Previously, only parents and carers could do so.

:24:35.:24:39.

It has now been extended to include 20 million workers. Five, reports.

:24:40.:24:45.

Stephany works as a quality assurance manager for the Yorkshire

:24:46.:24:51.

Building Society Group. Because she has flexible working, she has been

:24:52.:25:02.

able to pursue an Open University course in business. I have got a

:25:03.:25:06.

really good quality work balance now. The Government says fixable

:25:07.:25:13.

working boosts productivity. 38% of businesses survey offering flexible

:25:14.:25:19.

working have seen a drop in staff absences.

:25:20.:25:29.

Until now, the only workers with a right to request flexible working

:25:30.:25:35.

were parents with children under 17 and some carers. But now, every

:25:36.:25:41.

employee who has been employed for more than 26 weeks can request it.

:25:42.:25:48.

If I could come in at seven in the morning on one day, and finish at

:25:49.:25:51.

three o'clock, and then I can do other things, I think it would be

:25:52.:25:56.

great. It would be incredibly hard for somebody who is managing to

:25:57.:26:00.

predict how their workforce is going to be. Whilst employers' groups and

:26:01.:26:07.

unions welcome the changes, there is a note of caution. This is only a

:26:08.:26:13.

right to request, and many employers can simply say they have got a

:26:14.:26:17.

business reason to say no. But for people like Stephanie, today could

:26:18.:26:21.

make the worklife balance just that bit easier.

:26:22.:26:27.

Tennis, and Andy Murray is back on court this afternoon. The defending

:26:28.:26:34.

champion plays the world number 18, Kevin Anderson, in the fourth round

:26:35.:26:38.

at Wimbledon. The South African stands at 6ft eight. Katherine

:26:39.:26:46.

Downes is there. Yes, Andy Murray is by now accustomed to walking out on

:26:47.:26:50.

to centre court. At for his towering opponent today, it is a new

:26:51.:26:54.

experience. I understand Kevin Anderson spend some time at the

:26:55.:26:58.

weekend walking around on centre court taking photographs. He is

:26:59.:27:01.

bound to be nervous later this afternoon.

:27:02.:27:08.

Memories of last year stand tall over this second week at Wimbledon.

:27:09.:27:13.

With those memories come excite and and expectation. I think people

:27:14.:27:19.

expect him to win. Do you think he can do it? Straight sets, easily.

:27:20.:27:25.

Andy Murray is aware that the eyes of the nation are on him, more than

:27:26.:27:31.

ever. Rivals like Rafa Nadal and Djokovic have toiled in the first

:27:32.:27:35.

week, but Murray has sailed through in straight sets, and he even looks

:27:36.:27:41.

to be enjoying himself. But an easy ride so far may not be the best

:27:42.:27:45.

preparation for what lies ahead. You want to save energy for the latter

:27:46.:27:51.

stages, but at the same time, having tough matches early on gives you

:27:52.:27:54.

more confidence going into the second week. I am sure Rafa, after a

:27:55.:28:01.

couple of tough matches, is thinking that he can win the tournament.

:28:02.:28:06.

South African Kevin Anderson, the world number 18, is 6ft eight, and

:28:07.:28:13.

he will be up against Murray today. He is a big guy, with a big game, so

:28:14.:28:19.

I will need to be sharp, I will have to return well, if I want to win.

:28:20.:28:23.

Andy Murray knows that on current form, he should have the upper hand,

:28:24.:28:27.

but he will leave nothing to chance. And he is right to approach this

:28:28.:28:32.

match with respect, of course. Anderson has beaten him before. On

:28:33.:28:36.

Saturday, the world number one Serena Williams was knocked out. In

:28:37.:28:40.

the last half an hour, hard-line Wozniacki has been sent home.

:28:41.:28:44.

Sometimes here at Wimbledon, the underdog refuses to lie down. Let's

:28:45.:28:47.

have a look at the weather. Just the small chance of a shower at

:28:48.:28:56.

Wimbledon this afternoon, and after that, warming up for the rest of the

:28:57.:29:01.

week. For most, it is going to be dry, with broken cloud and sunshine.

:29:02.:29:11.

Over the past few hours, some patchy cloud has developed. There are a few

:29:12.:29:17.

showers popping up over southern England, which will be drifting a

:29:18.:29:22.

bit further north as the afternoon goes on. But these are the exception

:29:23.:29:30.

to the rule, the vast majority will be staying fine through the

:29:31.:29:35.

afternoon. In the very far south-west of England, there is more

:29:36.:29:40.

cloud around, and maybe some patchy rain in the Isles of Scilly. Here is

:29:41.:29:44.

that line of showers. It is drifting north. There is that threat for

:29:45.:29:51.

Wimbledon this afternoon, but by no means a guarantee of a shower, and

:29:52.:29:56.

even if there is one, it should be a fleeting affair. It will be

:29:57.:30:04.

pleasantly warm in the sunshine. A fine evening to come. That cloud in

:30:05.:30:10.

the far south-west will be pushing across more of southern coastal

:30:11.:30:15.

England. A little bit of missed around. -- miss. Elsewhere, broken

:30:16.:30:25.

cloud and sunshine, with some showers. But again, the vast

:30:26.:30:37.

majority staying dry tomorrow. Temperatures creeping up a bit. For

:30:38.:30:40.

England and Wales, with high pressure close by, on Wednesday

:30:41.:30:45.

temperatures will be getting even higher. But look to the north, and

:30:46.:30:52.

we have got a weather front coming our way, which will start to spoil

:30:53.:30:58.

things in northern Scotland on Wednesday. But in England and Wales,

:30:59.:31:03.

with that sunshine, fixtures will be creeping into the mid-20s. Thursday

:31:04.:31:10.

could be even warmer, the warmest day of the week, maybe of the year

so far. That cloudy weather finally reaches southern England we think
