:00:08. > :00:19.after his conviction yesterday of indecently assaulting young girls.
:00:20. > :00:22.But the Director of Public Prosecutions says it's too
:00:23. > :00:25.early to say whether the entertainer will face new charges:
:00:26. > :00:30.No matter who the allegations are against, if they come forward, we
:00:31. > :00:34.will take the evidence to court and support the victims.
:00:35. > :00:38.Also this lunchtime: Israel mounts airstrikes on Gaza as
:00:39. > :00:41.it says it will make Hamas pay for the murder of three teenage boys.
:00:42. > :00:44.Lawyers for the former News of the World editor Andy Coulson
:00:45. > :00:46.tell the Old Bailey he didn't know phone hacking was illegal.
:00:47. > :00:51.As increased fines for fly-tipping come in, we are

:00:54. > :00:58.are to investigate allegations of match-fixing during the World Cup.
:00:59. > :01:02.Later on BBC London. The borough
:01:03. > :01:05.which took five days instead of six hours to count votes at recent
:01:06. > :01:07.elections is told it must improve. And the police officer who
:01:08. > :01:08.accidentally shot this woman, sparking the Brixton riots,
:01:09. > :01:32.speaks at her inquest. Good afternoon
:01:33. > :01:35.and welcome to the BBC News at One. His career is over
:01:36. > :01:38.and his reputation in shreds, but this afternoon there are fresh
:01:39. > :01:39.allegations against Rolf Harris, who was convicted yesterday of
:01:40. > :01:48.indecent assault on four victims. One solicitor, who represented
:01:49. > :01:51.victims of Jimmy Savile, said he'd had up to 12 people
:01:52. > :01:54.contact him with claims of abuse. The Director of Public Prosecutions,
:01:55. > :01:57.Alison Saunders, has said the Crown Prosecution Service will work with
:01:58. > :02:00.the police to look at new cases, although it was too early to say
:02:01. > :02:03.whether more charges would follow. Meanwhile in Australia,
:02:04. > :02:06.Rolf Harris's home country, the prime minister Tony Abbott said
:02:07. > :02:07.he was "gutted and dismayed" by news of the conviction.
:02:08. > :02:19.Our correspondent Jon Brain reports. This is the image of Rolf Harris
:02:20. > :02:23.that stand out from every newspaper this morning. The ones much loved
:02:24. > :02:28.entertainer who will now be remembered as a serial sex offender
:02:29. > :02:32.-- the ones much loved. The 84-year-old is lying low at his
:02:33. > :02:37.house in Bray, the house where he abused a friend of his daughter.
:02:38. > :02:42.Some of his friends are struggling to come to terms with his
:02:43. > :02:46.conviction. The singer, Vince Hill, whose walls are decorated with Rolf
:02:47. > :02:54.Harris's artwork has known him for half a century. He's just not that
:02:55. > :02:59.kind of person. It wouldn't happen. Unfortunately, the jury has said
:03:00. > :03:03.that it has. But there could be more to come. Since the trial began, a
:03:04. > :03:09.number of other women have claimed that they too were abused by Harris.
:03:10. > :03:12.Other women that have come forward who have made allegations today will
:03:13. > :03:17.be investigated by the police, and once they have decided if there is
:03:18. > :03:21.sufficient evidence to return to the Crown Prosecution Service, we will
:03:22. > :03:24.look at it, and decided there is a realistic prospect of conviction and
:03:25. > :03:28.if it is in the public interest to bring more charges. It was in the
:03:29. > :03:31.middle of the night on the other side of the world when Harris was
:03:32. > :03:34.found guilty. Australians awoke this morning to learn that one of their
:03:35. > :03:41.most famous fellow citizens was now a convicted criminal. It's really
:03:42. > :03:45.sad. It's sad for the victims, but it's also sad that Rolf Harris,
:03:46. > :03:50.after a fantastic career, this is what he will be remembered for. Rolf
:03:51. > :03:54.Harris's fall from grace will be complete on Friday when he returns
:03:55. > :03:58.here to Southwark Crown Court for sentencing. The judge has warned him
:03:59. > :04:01.that he's facing a jail term. Given his age and failing health, it's
:04:02. > :04:06.conceivable that he will live out his last days in prison. And after
:04:07. > :04:11.charming the public for more than six decades, it's a more sinister
:04:12. > :04:14.side of Harris that has been laid bare to the world.
:04:15. > :04:16.Our correspondent David Silitto has been following the case
:04:17. > :04:24.and joins me. David, a day after the conviction,
:04:25. > :04:28.there is a profound sense of shock that he could have been doing this.
:04:29. > :04:33.What many people are feeling is what we have felt in court, that
:04:34. > :04:36.disconnection between hearing the stories in the witness stand from
:04:37. > :04:39.the women who came forward, then looking in the dock and thinking,
:04:40. > :04:48.this is Rolf Harris. Surely it cannot be. One of the things that
:04:49. > :04:51.has to be brought out is that he was charged with indecent assault, 12
:04:52. > :04:55.counts of indecent assault, but these are charges based on the law
:04:56. > :04:59.back when he committed the crimes, back in the 1960s and 70s. Many of
:05:00. > :05:05.those crimes, if he had committed them today would have a very
:05:06. > :05:10.different name, sexual assault, like penetration. This was a man who was
:05:11. > :05:15.assaulting children seven, 11, 13. Some of those assaults, forcing
:05:16. > :05:21.hands underneath clothing into intimate areas, and if he was
:05:22. > :05:26.sentenced according to today's's guidelines that would be for each
:05:27. > :05:29.assault, maybe six or nine years for each one. So sentencing on Friday
:05:30. > :05:34.will have to be according to the law as it was in the 1960s and 70s. But
:05:35. > :05:40.certainly, with those thoughts in mind of how serious this is. And of
:05:41. > :05:44.course, the NSPCC said yesterday they had 350 calls, big spike, not
:05:45. > :05:50.all about Rolf Harris, but 28 people have come forward, and 14 say they
:05:51. > :05:53.have allegations specifically and we need to find out if there will be
:05:54. > :05:56.charges brought. David, thank you very much.
:05:57. > :05:59.The Israeli Prime Minister is promising to "make Hamas pay",
:06:00. > :06:02.after the bodies of three teenagers missing
:06:03. > :06:05.for a fortnight were found near Hebron in the West Bank yesterday.
:06:06. > :06:09.The bodies were discovered under a pile of rocks near the Palestinian
:06:10. > :06:12.town of Halhul yesterday. Hamas has denied having anything
:06:13. > :06:13.to do with the disappearances. Our correspondent Yolande
:06:14. > :06:25.Knell is in Modi'in. I am here, because this is where the
:06:26. > :06:30.families of the dead decided to have a joint funeral for them later
:06:31. > :06:34.today. You can see that preparations are well underway and there is lots
:06:35. > :06:36.of security here because both the Israeli Prime Minister and the
:06:37. > :06:41.Israeli president are expected to attend. That is a real sign of just
:06:42. > :06:44.how much the fate of these three Israelis has really gripped the
:06:45. > :06:47.nation over the past two and a half weeks. Already there has been an
:06:48. > :06:57.Israeli military response to their deaths. Israel vowed retribution,
:06:58. > :07:03.and was true to its word. Last night, soldiers destroyed the homes
:07:04. > :07:05.of two Palestinian men named as prime suspects in kidnapping and
:07:06. > :07:13.killing three teenagers. They are still at large. As news spread of
:07:14. > :07:21.the deaths, Israeli settlers in the West Bank began to gather. Prayers
:07:22. > :07:24.were raised for all three teenagers. These candles were laid out earlier
:07:25. > :07:31.in a show of grief for the dead Israelis. They actually spell out
:07:32. > :07:33.their names. And here, we are close to the popular hitchhiking spot
:07:34. > :07:36.where they were last seen alive. But if you drive along in this
:07:37. > :07:43.direction, just about ten minutes, you the field by a Palestinian
:07:44. > :07:49.village outside the village of Hebron where the grim discovery was
:07:50. > :07:53.made -- you reach a field. Over two weeks, the Israeli army search for
:07:54. > :07:57.the teenagers, and Palestinian anger grew. Six Palestinians were killed
:07:58. > :08:04.in clashes. The Islamist group, Hamas, already the sworn enemy of
:08:05. > :08:07.Israel, has been the main target. The Israeli occupation is trying to
:08:08. > :08:12.utilise this story to justify the aggression against the Palestinian
:08:13. > :08:16.people, its resistance, and the Hamas movement. We stress that the
:08:17. > :08:21.Israeli threats do not scare Hamas nor its leadership or the
:08:22. > :08:24.Palestinian people. But now, political pressure is being heaped
:08:25. > :08:28.on the Palestinian secular president. He is being told to
:08:29. > :08:36.choose between peace with Israel and his new unity deal with Hamas. The
:08:37. > :08:38.Palestinian leader cannot say that they are committed to peace and
:08:39. > :08:42.reconciliation and, at the same time, be in a political alliance
:08:43. > :08:48.with these terrorists. With these murderers of children. The three
:08:49. > :08:52.Israeli families have seen a deep tragedy, but with further Israeli
:08:53. > :08:53.action expected, it's also likely to have dramatic implications for
:08:54. > :09:04.politics and the peace process. The Israeli military has said that
:09:05. > :09:09.its operations aren't yet over, and it's also thought that there could
:09:10. > :09:12.be an Israeli announcement sometime soon about settlement construction,
:09:13. > :09:16.perhaps the construction of new settler homes near to that busy
:09:17. > :09:20.junction where the teenagers were last seen. That would be very
:09:21. > :09:22.controversial, of course. Settlements are considered illegal
:09:23. > :09:26.under international law, although Israel disputes that.
:09:27. > :09:30.The former News of the World editor Andy Coulson has
:09:31. > :09:33.blamed lawyers for not telling him phone hacking was illegal.
:09:34. > :09:36.In a pre-sentencing hearing, he claimed that
:09:37. > :09:39."no-one at the News of the World, or the newspaper industry at large,
:09:40. > :09:44.realised that the interception of voice-mail messages was illegal."
:09:45. > :09:45.Our home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds was in court this
:09:46. > :09:52.morning, and is with me. Tell us a little more about what was
:09:53. > :09:56.said in court. This was a speech by the representation of Andy Coulson,
:09:57. > :09:59.and the sentencing is on Friday and the judge has to decide on the
:10:00. > :10:02.sentenced to be handed down. In the speech, it was said that Andy
:10:03. > :10:06.Coulson was not aware it was illegal and he thought it might be a breach
:10:07. > :10:10.of the Press Complaints Commission code of practice. He said he thought
:10:11. > :10:13.there might be a public interest defence the phone hacking and he
:10:14. > :10:16.said it was a great pity that the legal department at the News of the
:10:17. > :10:20.World had not told him it was illegal. Later on, Andrew e-disk,
:10:21. > :10:26.prosecuting in this case, said that was not true. In August 2004, around
:10:27. > :10:30.the time Andy Coulson was involved in the hacking of David Blunkett's
:10:31. > :10:37.phone, he was told by the legal department that it was illegal.
:10:38. > :10:40.There was also a dispute about something the prosecutor said
:10:41. > :10:44.yesterday. He said the phone hacking conspiracy at the News of the World
:10:45. > :10:51.was a criminal enterprise and went right to the top of News
:10:52. > :10:53.International. To that, the representative said it was an
:10:54. > :10:59.exaggerated in sweeping allegation. He betrayed Andy Coulson of a man of
:11:00. > :11:02.great integrity and had a lot to offer society -- he portrayed Andy
:11:03. > :11:06.Coulson. He wanted to make sure he could serve his sentence and get on
:11:07. > :11:10.with his work as quickly as possible. The judge has to decide
:11:11. > :11:11.the maximum sentence in these charges, which is two years in
:11:12. > :11:16.prison. The Labour leader, Ed Miliband,
:11:17. > :11:17.has promised to give more power and money to English cities outside
:11:18. > :11:19.London. Under a Labour government,
:11:20. > :11:22.local councils would be encouraged to work together to form "regional
:11:23. > :11:25.powerhouses", and would be given greater control of business rates.
:11:26. > :11:28.The Conservatives say the plan would result in higher taxes.
:11:29. > :11:35.Our political correspondent Vicky Young reports.
:11:36. > :11:41.Should it be ministers sitting here in the heart of Whitehall who decide
:11:42. > :11:45.how to spend money to boost economic growth, or is it time to let go and
:11:46. > :11:51.give England's it time to let go and give England's cities Labour leader
:11:52. > :11:57.told factory workers whose aim was to spread prosperity beyond London
:11:58. > :12:00.and called for new city and county regions which could work together to
:12:01. > :12:04.be economic powerhouses. Not just because we think it's good for local
:12:05. > :12:07.people to make the decisions, that because they will make better
:12:08. > :12:12.decisions because they have a much more of a sense of what the local
:12:13. > :12:15.needs are. If you can involve local businesses in those decisions,
:12:16. > :12:20.you're more likely to succeed. In Devon, viz businesswoman runs a
:12:21. > :12:24.restaurant and cookware shop and is keen to know more about the Labour
:12:25. > :12:28.plans and thinks local people should get more say -- this businesswoman.
:12:29. > :12:32.The different areas of the country obviously know their own needs, so
:12:33. > :12:37.anything that can be more locally orientated is only going to be a
:12:38. > :12:40.good thing. Labour would release ?6 billion per year from central
:12:41. > :12:45.government for regional housing and transport, that's not extra money,
:12:46. > :12:49.but councils have more control. 25% of all government contracts would
:12:50. > :12:53.have to go to smaller businesses, and Labour wants more engineering
:12:54. > :12:57.and technology apprenticeships. If all this sounds familiar, it's
:12:58. > :13:00.because two years ago the Conservative peer Lord Heseltine put
:13:01. > :13:03.forward similar ideas to boost regeneration throughout the country.
:13:04. > :13:08.Labour-saving government ignored them, but ministers insist the plan
:13:09. > :13:12.is working -- Labour said that the government. In the financial boom we
:13:13. > :13:15.had lopsided growth down on financial services, and mainly in
:13:16. > :13:18.London in the south-east. We are reversing that. We are seeing growth
:13:19. > :13:24.more evenly spread across the regions. Ed Miliband has been under
:13:25. > :13:29.attack for some of his own side for focusing too much on criticisms of
:13:30. > :13:33.big companies. Whether it is the tax arrangements of coffee chains, or
:13:34. > :13:37.the vast profits of energy firms. This detailed report today is a
:13:38. > :13:39.chance for Labour to reassure the business community that it does
:13:40. > :13:42.understand some of the day-to-day problems that it faces.
:13:43. > :13:44.Portuguese detectives, investigating the disappearance
:13:45. > :13:48.of Madeleine McCann have begun questioning a number of suspects.
:13:49. > :13:54.They were been identified following the latest investigations
:13:55. > :13:56.by Scotland Yard detectives. The three year-old vanished
:13:57. > :13:57.from the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz, where her family
:13:58. > :14:03.was staying in 2007. The English National Opera has had
:14:04. > :14:09.its annual funding cut by 29% by Arts Council England.
:14:10. > :14:11.It's part of a major shake-up of how arts funding is distributed.
:14:12. > :14:15.In all, some 670 arts, music and other cultural bodies
:14:16. > :14:26.in England will share grants of ?340 million per year.
:14:27. > :14:34.Will, what has the reaction been in the art world? The English National
:14:35. > :14:36.Opera have been quite defensive about the 30% cut, saying they
:14:37. > :14:40.negotiated it with the arts Council and they expected it. They have a
:14:41. > :14:44.business plan which will ameliorate the problem, so it will be fine.
:14:45. > :14:49.Regardless, it's a big slap on the wrist. The problem, as I understand
:14:50. > :14:53.it, from the arts Council point of view is that they are putting on too
:14:54. > :14:55.many shows are not getting big enough audiences. The idea is to cut
:14:56. > :14:59.the amount of money they have, therefore they cannot put enough
:15:00. > :15:03.shows on. The other thing about this which is interesting is that there
:15:04. > :15:08.has been a lot of pressure on the arts Council. We had the chairman on
:15:09. > :15:11.the BBC talking about the issue of the discrepancy between how much
:15:12. > :15:17.London gets in funding and how little the regions get in
:15:18. > :15:21.comparison. It is quite stark. ?60 per head in London, three or ?4
:15:22. > :15:25.outside. He is saying it's a shift in the right direction. They have
:15:26. > :15:33.made a 2% change. It was 51% in the regions, and it is now 53%. That
:15:34. > :15:37.equates to ?5.3 million, but to help the EN oh transferred to the new
:15:38. > :15:44.regime, they've given it another ?7 million. So there is still some
:15:45. > :15:47.natural inclination by the arts Council to invest in London, to
:15:48. > :15:52.invest in the cultural crown jewels, and it finds it a struggle to find
:15:53. > :15:53.ways of releasing proper, big money into the regions. Will, thank you
:15:54. > :15:58.very much. Newly elected members
:15:59. > :16:01.of the European Parliament are meeting today, for the first time
:16:02. > :16:03.since the elections in May. Although the parliament still has a
:16:04. > :16:07.clear majority of pro-European MEPs, there will now be more Euro-sceptics
:16:08. > :16:07.in the chamber than ever before. Our Europe correspondent
:16:08. > :16:25.Chris Morris reports. The European anthem, ode to Joy,
:16:26. > :16:27.Palladium side of the Parliamentary chamber in Strasbourg at the
:16:28. > :16:32.beginning of a new five-year parliamentary term -- played
:16:33. > :16:35.inside. UKIP MEPs, the largest delegation of the UK turned their
:16:36. > :16:41.backs on the orchestra, a sign of things to come. Earlier they
:16:42. > :16:47.gathered outside to hear the advice of their leader. What is the message
:16:48. > :16:51.today? I know what the Scottish message is. There are more
:16:52. > :16:55.Eurosceptics and Europhobes in this parliament than ever before, and
:16:56. > :16:58.that will have an effect. It is a different Parliament and it will be
:16:59. > :17:03.a more exciting Parliament, but that's not the delusion -- let's not
:17:04. > :17:08.delude ourselves, the opposition have the power. As if to emphasise
:17:09. > :17:10.the point, the first order of business, electing a new
:17:11. > :17:14.Parliamentary Speaker. The winner was never really in any doubt,
:17:15. > :17:18.Martin Schultz, the German socialist, who has held the post but
:17:19. > :17:21.the last couple of years. His victory was part of a political deal
:17:22. > :17:26.between the centre-left and centre-right which saw John Claude
:17:27. > :17:37.Juncker nominated last week as president of the EU commission. I
:17:38. > :17:43.can't change it now. My proposal is what can I do for the Brits. To
:17:44. > :17:48.encourage them to be a fully fledged member of the European Union, with
:17:49. > :17:52.the United Kingdom in a European Union, it is stronger. This
:17:53. > :17:56.Parliament may become more competition and whether you love it
:17:57. > :18:00.or hate hate it, certainly more people are aware of the increased
:18:01. > :18:05.power it has, but with greater power comes right and responsibility. And
:18:06. > :18:07.issues such as the abuse of the generous Parliamentary expenses
:18:08. > :18:12.system will also need to be dealt with much more openly. This time
:18:13. > :18:17.it's different was the official Parliamentary slogan in May's
:18:18. > :18:20.European elections. The MEPs gathered here, whatever their
:18:21. > :18:27.political persuasion, now have a chance to prove it.
:18:28. > :18:38.Fresh allegations are made against Rolf Harris after his conviction
:18:39. > :18:40.yesterday of indecently assaulting young girls.
:18:41. > :18:43.Our top story... And still to come:
:18:44. > :18:45.the perils of pedal power. Why half
:18:46. > :18:49.of British adults think their roads are too dangerous to cycle?
:18:50. > :18:56.Raising the standard of maths for pupils and teachers. The Government

:19:02. > :19:09.take up tennis. Fly tipping - the dumping of rubbish
:19:10. > :19:11.- has been illegal for years. But from today,
:19:12. > :19:14.courts in England and Wales will have the power to impose tougher
:19:15. > :19:17.penalties on those who do it. For a typical company dumping
:19:18. > :19:20.household waste in the countryside, the penalty could be up to ?95,000
:19:21. > :19:23.for the most serious offences, with offenders facing up to three
:19:24. > :19:25.years in jail. In a BBC investigation,
:19:26. > :19:34.our correspondent, Colin Campbell, reports on one fly tipper in Kent.
:19:35. > :19:39.Fly tipping, it is a nationwide problem causing
:19:40. > :19:43.disruption and annoyance. There he goes.
:19:44. > :19:46.I am out to catch a repeat offender. He has completely blocked the lane.
:19:47. > :19:51.It is disgusting. The road is impossible.
:19:52. > :19:58.I have cars that come down here and have to reverse in my driveway
:19:59. > :20:03.to get back up the road. Wally Marney runs a company called
:20:04. > :20:04.All Loads Rubbish Clearance. With a tracker in the rubbish
:20:05. > :20:19.we engaged his services. Eight hours later, he heads
:20:20. > :20:22.towards isolated country lanes. We temporarily lost the van
:20:23. > :20:25.and the rubbish. We have now found him.
:20:26. > :20:28.He is empty and we suspect he has just dumped it back there.
:20:29. > :20:33.Emitting a signal, our tracker shows he entered
:20:34. > :20:36.the country lane at 9:51pm. Three minutes later, the tracker was
:20:37. > :20:40.emitting a stationary signal, suggesting the waste
:20:41. > :20:48.from the truck had been tipped. Here we go, just in front of us!
:20:49. > :20:54.That is it, isn't it? Every item he had in the back of his
:20:55. > :20:56.truck now littered the country lane. The following morning I
:20:57. > :20:59.discovered the waste blocked access to someone's home.
:21:00. > :21:03.Devastated. Unbelievably devastated.
:21:04. > :21:06.I cannot believe that they have just dumped this right outside
:21:07. > :21:09.of our gate. In one week,
:21:10. > :21:18.we believe he fly-tipped on at least three occasions.
:21:19. > :21:21.In response to our investigation, Mr Marney told us he never fly tips.
:21:22. > :21:24.He said he pays someone else to dispose of the rubbish,
:21:25. > :21:27.sometimes at night. He said if we tried to film him
:21:28. > :21:31.he would smash up our camera. Mr Marney...
:21:32. > :21:37.Colin Campbell from BBC News. After repeat requests for
:21:38. > :21:40.an interview, we decided to ask him about his fly tipping activities.
:21:41. > :21:43.People pay you to get rid of their rubbish but all you do is
:21:44. > :21:47.dump in the countryside, isn't it? We want some answers off you.
:21:48. > :21:54.You will get nothing off me, nothing.
:21:55. > :21:57.Do you hear me? Last year, it cost more than ?36
:21:58. > :22:01.million to clear up fly tipped waste in England and Wales.
:22:02. > :22:04.This fly tipper says he has now given up collecting
:22:05. > :22:07.people's rubbish. And viewers in the South East
:22:08. > :22:10.of England can see a special report on that story at 1:30pm and 7:35pm
:22:11. > :22:12.tonight. Viewers across the UK can watch
:22:13. > :22:19.online via the BBC iPlayer. From today,
:22:20. > :22:20.the amount of money that savers can put into tax-free ISAs has increased
:22:21. > :22:28.to ?15,000 from just under 12,000. The accounts are also
:22:29. > :22:29.being made more flexible. But critics have warned of low rates
:22:30. > :22:51.of return from some providers. 3000 people were interviewed ahead
:22:52. > :22:58.of the Tour de France coming to Cambridgeshire and Essex. This
:22:59. > :23:02.report from Cambridge. Britain 's roads can be a dangerous place.
:23:03. > :23:12.Close. An accident is about to happen but it is still a shock. The
:23:13. > :23:26.cyclist was OK in the end. Here the rider has an incredibly lucky
:23:27. > :23:31.escape. Every year, around 19,000 cyclists are killed or injured on
:23:32. > :23:36.Britain 's roads. It is not just the daily clash that is to blame. Our
:23:37. > :23:42.country 's roads are battle scarred and written with potholes. A survey
:23:43. > :23:45.commissioned by the BBC has found half of British adults are too
:23:46. > :23:50.scared to cycle on local roads because they believe they are too
:23:51. > :23:53.dangerous. The Tour de France starts in Leeds this weekend and will
:23:54. > :23:59.eventually roll through here in Cambridge, right along this route.
:24:00. > :24:05.This BBC survey suggests that one in five of us feel inspired to take up
:24:06. > :24:10.cycling because the race is here. Is getting on a bike too dangerous?
:24:11. > :24:17.People need to take responsibility for what they do on their bike.
:24:18. > :24:22.There is not enough understanding between cyclists and cars. In
:24:23. > :24:26.Cambridge, with cycle paths, it makes it easier. This weekend, the
:24:27. > :24:31.professionals will show off their cycling prowess. When they are gone,
:24:32. > :24:33.the rest of us will need our wits about us when we get back into the
:24:34. > :24:35.saddle. of return from some providers.
:24:36. > :24:38.Cameroon's football authorities are to investigate claims that seven
:24:39. > :24:40.of their players were involved in match-fixing at the World Cup
:24:41. > :24:43.in Brazil. They lost all their games
:24:44. > :24:44.including a 4-0 defeat to Croatia. Our sports correspondent, Richard
:24:45. > :24:56.Conway, is in Rio de Janeiro. Tell us more about these
:24:57. > :25:01.allegations. The Camarillo FA are certainly taking them very
:25:02. > :25:06.seriously. They have launched an investigation. -- the Cameroon FA.
:25:07. > :25:11.There were claims that all three matches in Brazil were affected.
:25:12. > :25:15.They are saying seven players are under suspicion. This stems from
:25:16. > :25:22.claims made by a convicted match fixer. He told the German media
:25:23. > :25:27.organisation that the Portugal game in particular, where Cameroon lost
:25:28. > :25:34.4-0. The game was a tempestuous affair. They went down 4-0 to the
:25:35. > :25:39.Portuguese side. The midfielder was sent off for an elbow against one of
:25:40. > :25:41.his opponents. It was marred by an incident between two players who
:25:42. > :25:45.came together at the end of the game. The game. FIFA will not
:25:46. > :25:52.confirm whether they are looking at this as well as the Cameroonian FA.
:25:53. > :25:56.They will not comment, as per normal practice, given the sensitivity of
:25:57. > :26:01.the case. It will be a concern to them. Match fixing has affected the
:26:02. > :26:06.game in many ways over recent years. They know the integrity of the sport
:26:07. > :26:09.is vital to public trust. The fact it has raised its head here at the
:26:10. > :26:13.World Cup will be a worry. Conway, is in Rio de Janeiro.
:26:14. > :26:16.Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Maria Sharapova will all be
:26:17. > :26:18.in action today at Wimbledon, as organisers look to make up time
:26:19. > :26:21.lost to rain. Tournament officials have dismissed
:26:22. > :26:24.calls to consider play on the middle Sunday, which is traditionally
:26:25. > :26:25.a rest day at the All England Club. Our correspondent, Katherine Downes,
:26:26. > :26:37.is there for us now. Today is traditionally women's
:26:38. > :26:41.quarterfinals day. Because of the rain on Saturday and then again
:26:42. > :26:46.yesterday, Wimbledon has some catching up to do. Some players have
:26:47. > :26:50.a rather hectic schedule, now the sun is out again. The club says it
:26:51. > :26:56.is getting back on track but there have been complaints that some of
:26:57. > :27:00.the biggest names. The shades and shorts are back out at Wimbledon
:27:01. > :27:05.after the weather closed in on FW 19 yesterday. 50 matches were rained
:27:06. > :27:10.off. Unaffected by the showers, Novak Djokovic powered through under
:27:11. > :27:16.the Centre Court roof. His sympathy lies with those who were left
:27:17. > :27:21.outside. He says one of Wimbledon 's long traditions, a day off on the
:27:22. > :27:25.middle Sunday, needs to change. We all know that tradition is something
:27:26. > :27:30.which is nurtured here at the all England club and we respect that.
:27:31. > :27:34.There are some rules that I believe should be updated, changed, for the
:27:35. > :27:39.better of the schedule and the better of the players. Training
:27:40. > :27:46.under blue skies today, standard Rinker faces a battle today. Rain
:27:47. > :27:50.delays means he will have to play five times in seven days if he makes
:27:51. > :27:55.it to the final. He said the all England club are not considering the
:27:56. > :28:00.effect on players. We treat all the players as fairly as we can. It is a
:28:01. > :28:05.busy schedule. If we get rained, it cannot be perfect but we do take
:28:06. > :28:11.things very seriously and that is what we are trying to do. The great
:28:12. > :28:16.post rain catch up operation means there is some top tennis to watch
:28:17. > :28:28.today. Maria Sharrock over is already a breakdown. -- Sharapova.
:28:29. > :28:32.There are some great matches in prospect on the outside courts. As
:28:33. > :28:37.far as the spectators are concerned, yesterday 's loss is today's game.
:28:38. > :28:48.Time for a look at the weather. It is looking much better than
:28:49. > :28:52.yesterday and it is a lovely day across the bulk of the UK. If you
:28:53. > :28:55.like your weather like this, cloud and sunshine with temperatures
:28:56. > :29:02.around 20 Celsius, this is the day for you. One or two showers across
:29:03. > :29:06.the Pennines but most of us will stay dry. In parts of western
:29:07. > :29:10.Scotland and Northern Ireland, temperatures have reached into the
:29:11. > :29:14.low 20s. We have seen the odd shower developed. You may catch a heavy one
:29:15. > :29:18.but they are very few and far between. One or two in the Midlands
:29:19. > :29:22.and Wales. The cloud we have had towards the south coast of South
:29:23. > :29:27.West England has faded away. Brighter skies for the rest of the
:29:28. > :29:32.day. We have seen sunnier weather in the south-east of England. Cloud is
:29:33. > :29:36.building. Occasional sunshine still this afternoon. There may be a
:29:37. > :29:40.shower arriving this evening but by no means guaranteed. It looks pretty
:29:41. > :29:45.much a safe bet for plenty of play for the rest of the day. Into
:29:46. > :29:48.tonight, any of those showers that have developed will fade away. We're
:29:49. > :29:53.left with trying clear weather overnight. A bit misty in places and
:29:54. > :29:58.temperatures will fall at their lowest in rural spots about five, 6
:29:59. > :30:03.degrees. A glorious start for the morning with lots of sunshine. To
:30:04. > :30:06.the far north-west of the UK, some rain into the Hebrides.
:30:07. > :30:10.Strengthening winds with gales developing. It will reach into
:30:11. > :30:14.western parts of Scotland and eventually Northern Ireland. Ahead
:30:15. > :30:18.of that, still some hazy sunshine. The best of the sunshine with
:30:19. > :30:28.highest temperatures in England and Wales. Damages into the mid-20s. The
:30:29. > :30:33.area of rain -- temperatures into the mid-20s. A breezy day generally.
:30:34. > :30:38.We will see temperatures coming down in a few spots in the south-east but
:30:39. > :30:44.it could be the hottest day of the year so far. More brain to come at
:30:45. > :30:50.the end of the week. More substantial rain from this area of
:30:51. > :30:55.low pressure. Rain will spread south. It will not reach England
:30:56. > :31:01.till Friday night or Saturday. Showers elsewhere but they will
:31:02. > :31:04.continue into Sunday. If you're getting sunshine and higher
:31:05. > :31:09.temperatures for the rest of the week, pollen levels are heading up
:31:10. > :31:11.as well if you have not been sneezing as much recently, get the
:31:12. > :31:24.hankies ready again. More weather online. A reminder of our top story:
:31:25. > :31:27.Fresh allegations are made against roles can -- Rolf Harris after his
:31:28. > :31:28.conviction yesterday.
