:01:42. > :01:47.The Prime Minister is warning of the dangers of not acting urgently

:01:48. > :01:53.25,000 people are estimated to die in Europe every year from infections

:01:54. > :01:55.which are resistant to antibiotics. Now the Prime Minister is warning of

:01:56. > :02:05.the dangers of not acting urgently to tackle a growing threat. But drug

:02:06. > :02:05.company say there is little incentive to produce new

:02:06. > :02:09.antibiotics. This is a race against evolution,

:02:10. > :02:11.the means by which bacteria constantly find ways

:02:12. > :02:13.to resist antibiotics. 25,000 people die

:02:14. > :02:17.in Europe each year from antibiotic David Cameron said if governments

:02:18. > :02:25.and drug firms fail to act, that We are in danger

:02:26. > :02:31.of going back to the dark ages of medicine, to see infections that

:02:32. > :02:37.were treatable not be treatable. And we would see many thousands

:02:38. > :02:53.of people, potentially, Kelly from Kent did nearly died as a

:02:54. > :02:59.result of a drug resistant urinary infection. Her family were called to

:03:00. > :03:05.her bedside at hospital, and told she might not make it through the

:03:06. > :03:08.night. I was scared. Really scared, and felt lucky that I was still

:03:09. > :03:14.there, but it made me worry because every night, I was like I going to

:03:15. > :03:17.make it? I had hallucinations. The concern for the industry is that any

:03:18. > :03:21.new powerful antibiotics would be so precious that they would be kept in

:03:22. > :03:23.reserve and barely used, so there is little profit.

:03:24. > :03:26.We've spent something like $1 billion over the last 10 or

:03:27. > :03:28.12 years on antibiotic research, trying to make new medicines.

:03:29. > :03:31.If, at the other end of that, the answer is, "Thank you very

:03:32. > :03:44.much, we're not going to use it", that's not a great incentive.

:03:45. > :03:48.Researchers at University College London are trying a novel approach,

:03:49. > :03:51.trying to weaken bacteria so that they can be killed more easily. They

:03:52. > :03:56.are also worried about a world without antibiotics. We use

:03:57. > :04:01.antibiotics not only to treat patients with infections, we use

:04:02. > :04:03.them to provide protection during major operations at as hip

:04:04. > :04:08.replacements, and we use them to provide protection to patients

:04:09. > :04:13.undergoing cancer tumour therapy during this vulnerable period. If we

:04:14. > :04:16.lose the EU to use antibiotics, we will have to abandon these

:04:17. > :04:19.approaches. Prime Minister has asked an economist to lead a review which

:04:20. > :04:24.would try to find new ways to encourage drug development, and

:04:25. > :04:34.ensure that we have new weapons in the constant war against microbes.

:04:35. > :04:38.And Fergus is with me. Listening to that, people might wonder why an

:04:39. > :04:44.economist leads this? Indeed. What we have got here is a market

:04:45. > :04:47.failure. 1987 was the last time a new class of antibiotics came on

:04:48. > :04:53.stream, the golden age of antibiotics is over. Something has

:04:54. > :04:56.to be done to put that right. It is not just pharmaceutical companies,

:04:57. > :05:01.but universities are also pulled out of research into infectious disease.

:05:02. > :05:05.People thought it was a problem had been dealt with. The problem that

:05:06. > :05:11.Jim O'Neill, the Economist, will look at, is how they can change

:05:12. > :05:14.things, put in levers to encourage the pharmaceutical industry to make

:05:15. > :05:19.the huge investment, things like pricing agreements and removing

:05:20. > :05:24.bureaucracy to try and kick start this. But it will need to be done on

:05:25. > :05:28.a global level. We have in hearing about resistance to antibiotics for

:05:29. > :05:32.some time, so is the sense that the dangers really are as great as we

:05:33. > :05:37.are talking about? Yes, I think they are, and the Prime Minister was

:05:38. > :05:42.echoing what his Chief Medical Officer has said time and time

:05:43. > :05:51.again. David Cameron discussed this briefly with the G7 last month. And

:05:52. > :05:54.Chancellor Merkel and President Obama were effusive dig. It is

:05:55. > :05:58.likely that the proposals from this will be discussed at a meeting of

:05:59. > :06:01.world leaders next year. The former

:06:02. > :06:02.Home Secretary Leon Brittan has confirmed that he was given a

:06:03. > :06:05.dossier alleging paedophile activity The Conservative peer has come

:06:06. > :06:10.under pressure to reveal what In a statement, Lord Brittan said he

:06:11. > :06:14.asked Home Office officials to "look carefully" at the papers he'd

:06:15. > :06:18.been given, but said the issue Let's speak to our chief political

:06:19. > :06:31.correspondent Norman Smith. Just explain more about what Lord

:06:32. > :06:36.Brittan has been saying? This morning, more key pieces of this

:06:37. > :06:39.jigsaw of allegations involving historic claims of child sexual

:06:40. > :06:44.abuse, the activities of the paedophile information exchange and

:06:45. > :06:49.allegations of an establishment cover-up have fallen into place. The

:06:50. > :06:52.Leon Britton, in a statement, has confirmed that a dossier was

:06:53. > :06:57.prepared by the former Conservative MP Geoffrey Dickens, alleging claims

:06:58. > :07:02.of child sexual abuse by prominent individuals. He handed it in to the

:07:03. > :07:08.Home Office. The Leon Britton confirmed that as Home Secretary, he

:07:09. > :07:11.met with Sir Geoffrey and he saw and read the allegations, and then

:07:12. > :07:16.handed them on to officials. This matters, because up to now, Sir Leon

:07:17. > :07:21.has said he cannot recall whether he had been passed that dossier. We now

:07:22. > :07:25.know firstly that the dossier existed, and secondly that it was

:07:26. > :07:29.handed in to him personally. Thirdly, it was passed on to his

:07:30. > :07:35.officials. What we do not know is what happened next. And do we know

:07:36. > :07:41.whether dossier is now? Bluntly, we know that the dossier appears to

:07:42. > :07:44.have been lost. I say that because the Home Office have issued a

:07:45. > :07:51.statement this morning, pointing to an interim report they conducted

:07:52. > :07:58.last year, which has copies of the material have not been retained.

:07:59. > :08:01.That was news to Sir Leon Brittan, who then put out a subsequent

:08:02. > :08:06.statement saying he was not even aware that had been a Home Office

:08:07. > :08:12.investigation. This matters because it is all part of the backdrop to

:08:13. > :08:17.these allegations, the insinuation of some high-level establishment

:08:18. > :08:25.cover-up. We have had demands from one of the leading campaigners for

:08:26. > :08:29.this dossier to be published. Now I am told the dossier was apparently

:08:30. > :08:33.lost, because it was on paper and there is no record of it. But the

:08:34. > :08:38.likelihood is that that will simply fuelled the allegations and

:08:39. > :08:41.suspicions of some sort of cover-up. Norman, thank you for now.

:08:42. > :08:43.There are fears that a Palestinian teenager has been kidnapped and

:08:44. > :08:46.murdered in revenge for the killing of three abducted Israeli youths.

:08:47. > :08:49.The partly-burned body of the 17-year-old boy was found in a wood

:08:50. > :08:55.Clashes with police have broken out in that part of the city.

:08:56. > :09:03.Our correspondent Yolande Knell is in Jereusalem.

:09:04. > :09:12.There is a real mood of unease in East Jerusalem, and plenty of action

:09:13. > :09:16.still going on behind me. This is the Arab part of the city, where

:09:17. > :09:22.people came up this morning, finding out about Aluko teenager who had

:09:23. > :09:26.disappeared from outside his family -- a local teenager who had

:09:27. > :09:29.disappeared from outside his family's store. It is thought he was

:09:30. > :09:35.abducted and killed. It was in this woodland beauty spot that the body

:09:36. > :09:39.was found. Israeli police think he was a young Palestinian who had been

:09:40. > :09:48.abducted, and say this may have been a revenge attack. It is believed he

:09:49. > :09:55.was aged 17. And in East Jerusalem, there has already been an angry

:09:56. > :10:02.response. Palestinians began ripping up shop fronts for ammunition. With

:10:03. > :10:08.heavily armed security forces trying to drive them back. Snatch squads

:10:09. > :10:14.were deployed to make arrests. Minister Netanyahu has instructed

:10:15. > :10:16.the police to conduct this investigation expeditiously, to get

:10:17. > :10:20.to the truth of the matter as soon as is. He has also called upon

:10:21. > :10:26.everyone to not take the law into their own hands and not to interfere

:10:27. > :10:29.in the police investigation. There have been lots of clashes between

:10:30. > :10:35.young Palestinians and Israeli special forces police on these

:10:36. > :10:39.streets in the past few hours. The Palestinians were throwing stones

:10:40. > :10:42.and the police as bonding by firing tear gas and rubber bullets. There

:10:43. > :10:49.have also been attempts to destroy these shelters for the Israeli

:10:50. > :10:52.tramline that runs along the road. Yesterday, it was a sombre mood at

:10:53. > :10:56.the funeral for three Israeli teenagers who were found dead in the

:10:57. > :11:00.West Bank earlier in the week. But that quickly gave way to calls from

:11:01. > :11:05.right-wing Israelis for retribution. The government says it holds the

:11:06. > :11:08.Palestinian militant group Hamas responsible, and that it will pay.

:11:09. > :11:16.Hamas has not said it was behind attacks. Now, tensions are rising

:11:17. > :11:21.again, with concerns that this could lead to a new cycle of violence.

:11:22. > :11:26.The Israeli police are still in Vesta gating what happened, -- they

:11:27. > :11:30.are still investigating, but the mother of the Palestinian teenager

:11:31. > :11:34.has told the BBC that if it is confirmed that her son is the one

:11:35. > :11:41.who was killed, she once the Israeli government's response to be as eerie

:11:42. > :11:45.as as it was the those three Israeli teenagers -- she once their response

:11:46. > :11:46.to be as serious as it was for the three Israeli teenagers who were

:11:47. > :11:49.killed. UK house prices have risen

:11:50. > :11:51.above their peak of 2007 after they climbed 1% in June, and

:11:52. > :11:55.were up 11.8% from a year earlier. The figures, from the Nationwide,

:11:56. > :11:58.show the average value of a UK property is now almost ?189,000,

:11:59. > :12:03.though in London, it has topped Our economics correspondent

:12:04. > :12:18.Simon Jack reports. According to the UK's second-biggest

:12:19. > :12:22.lender, house prices accelerated again in June, and once again, there

:12:23. > :12:26.were massive regional differences. If we look at price rises since last

:12:27. > :12:31.year, the lowest rise was in Scotland, which saw 5.4% growth. In

:12:32. > :12:39.the south-west, prices rose 9.8%, but that was overshadowed by a

:12:40. > :12:41.whopping 25.8% rise in London. It is definitely the case that the gap

:12:42. > :12:45.between London and the rest of the UK has never been wider. If you look

:12:46. > :12:50.outside London, prices are half what they are in the capital. So what?

:12:51. > :12:54.Does it matter that house prices in London are double the national

:12:55. > :12:57.average? The Bank of England said an overheated housing market was the

:12:58. > :13:02.number one threat to the UK economy, and a 26% rise sounds white hot full

:13:03. > :13:08.of so are things getting dangerous? Even before these figures came out,

:13:09. > :13:13.the Bank of England was concerned enough big mortgages relative to

:13:14. > :13:16.incomes. I think the bank of even have been keen to emphasise that

:13:17. > :13:22.they are not targeting house prices per se. They are worried about

:13:23. > :13:28.levels of household debt. They have to formulate policy for the country

:13:29. > :13:33.as a whole, and only an ice later part of the country, London, is

:13:34. > :13:37.showing rapid house price growth -- an isolated part of the country. So

:13:38. > :13:41.where do we go from here? The number of mortgages being approved has been

:13:42. > :13:44.falling over the last few months. There was some evidence that even

:13:45. > :13:50.London buyers are beginning to balk at high prices. We have noticed more

:13:51. > :13:53.properties coming on the market. Prices are softer. Not so much

:13:54. > :13:59.confidence about taking offers forward. Less interest, fewer

:14:00. > :14:03.offers. As a result, there is more balance between supply and demand

:14:04. > :14:06.and we have seen for some time. Would-be buyers and the Bank of

:14:07. > :14:07.England will hope that that anecdotal evidence shows up in the

:14:08. > :14:11.numbers in the months to come. The former French president,

:14:12. > :14:13.Nicolas Sarkozy, has been placed under formal investigation,

:14:14. > :14:16.and appeared in court in Paris last He's the first former head

:14:17. > :14:21.of state in France to be held Our Paris correspondent

:14:22. > :14:38.Hugh Schofield sent this report. A grim faced and exhausted Nicolas

:14:39. > :14:42.Sarkozy, at two in the morning after 15 hours of cross-examination. He

:14:43. > :14:46.has been placed under formal investigation, criminal charges of

:14:47. > :14:52.influence peddling and corruption are looming ever closer. The former

:14:53. > :14:56.president spent the morning at his Paris home, considering his next

:14:57. > :14:59.move. He had been preparing a political comeback later this year,

:15:00. > :15:05.but those plans are now severely compromised. Everything we know

:15:06. > :15:10.about Nicolas Sarkozy suggest that he will not take this setback lying

:15:11. > :15:15.down. He has fought off criminal proceedings before and is no doubt

:15:16. > :15:19.determined to do it again. Ever since he left office in 2012,

:15:20. > :15:23.Nicolas Sarkozy has been dogged by a series of investigations. His

:15:24. > :15:27.supporters have said all along that it is a deliberate campaign of

:15:28. > :15:31.harassment. TRANSLATION: Every time Nicolas Sarkozy makes a public

:15:32. > :15:34.appearance, every time you talk about his return to politics or give

:15:35. > :15:42.him a chance to speak publicly, a case is brought against him. But

:15:43. > :15:47.speaking today, the Prime Minister said talk of a left-wing plot

:15:48. > :15:54.against Mr Sarkozy was ridiculous. TRANSLATION: I am not going to

:15:55. > :15:57.discuss a political plot. It is unacceptable. Judges carry out their

:15:58. > :16:02.work independently and we should not interfere. Nicolas Sarkozy is no

:16:03. > :16:07.stranger to struggle, but this latest blow with test him severely.

:16:08. > :16:08.If he is to make his comeback, he needs to prepare for a long and

:16:09. > :16:20.bitter fight. The top story this lunchtime: A

:16:21. > :16:26.ticking time bomb calls for global action to tackle the growing threat

:16:27. > :16:30.of resistance to antibiotics. And coming up, after the upsets of

:16:31. > :16:34.yesterday, all eyes are on Andy Murray and his quarterfinal against

:16:35. > :16:40.the gifted Grigor Dimitrov. On BBC London: A history lesson in

:16:41. > :16:42.the trenches. How RAF Northolt is helping teach schoolchildren about

:16:43. > :16:47.World War I. From Space Invaders to sci-fi film

:16:48. > :16:48.effects. We take a look at the Barbican's new digital media

:16:49. > :17:00.exhibition. As councils are being forced to

:17:01. > :17:03.tighten their belts, for the first time one local authority says it

:17:04. > :17:08.will have to find volunteers to help look after its parks and green

:17:09. > :17:12.spaces. Bristol City Council says it needs to reduce the parks budget by

:17:13. > :17:17.20% so it needs help with grass cutting, litter picking and other

:17:18. > :17:25.maintenance work on the city's 5500 acres of green space. Jon Kay

:17:26. > :17:32.reports from Bristol. So once you have finished your own garden, how

:17:33. > :17:37.about giving these guys a hand? In Bristol, they are hoping to use

:17:38. > :17:42.volunteers to tackle parks, verges and cemeteries, as the council cuts

:17:43. > :17:52.its budget. Would you have time to mow the lawn? Not with a little one

:17:53. > :17:55.and one at school. No! The council says that it will still look after

:17:56. > :18:00.its green spaces but it cannot afford to do as much as it has in

:18:01. > :18:06.the past. To mow this grass, you are talking two football pitches. John

:18:07. > :18:10.already runs a group of volunteers that this park, mainly pensioners

:18:11. > :18:15.who keep things nice and tidy. But he says asking them to do hard

:18:16. > :18:19.labour is out of the question. It just wouldn't happen. It just

:18:20. > :18:28.wouldn't happen. People haven't got the time or, as I say, the

:18:29. > :18:33.equipment. The council says it is about engaging with the community as

:18:34. > :18:37.well as saving money. But they admit there are issues about volunteers

:18:38. > :18:41.using chainsaws and lawn mowers on public land. Health and safety is a

:18:42. > :18:45.not we are still trying to crack and hopefully we will get there soon. We

:18:46. > :18:52.have been hitting that for some years now. Marianne says it is time

:18:53. > :18:56.for public spaces to be prioritised. She recently fell into

:18:57. > :19:03.an open grave because the grass in this cemetery was so high she could

:19:04. > :19:07.not see where she was going. The next thing I knew, I was flat down

:19:08. > :19:12.on my knees. She says councils should be doing the work themselves

:19:13. > :19:18.and not relying on the public. It is why we pay our council tax, to keep

:19:19. > :19:24.cemeteries looking good and keeping roadsides tidy. But with council

:19:25. > :19:27.budgets under pressure, the Local Government Association says we can

:19:28. > :19:34.expect more authorities to follow Bristol's lead.

:19:35. > :19:37.Jon Kay in Bristol. Britain's biggest police force has

:19:38. > :19:42.been criticised by an employment tribunal for telling staff to delete

:19:43. > :19:45.internal findings of discrimination. The allegation emerged after a

:19:46. > :19:48.hearing that ruled that a black female firearms officer had been

:19:49. > :19:54.directly discriminated against because of her race and gender.

:19:55. > :20:00.Scotland Yard says it will review the findings. Clive Coleman is with

:20:01. > :20:03.me now. This is quite extraordinary. This is a damning finding for a

:20:04. > :20:08.police force that was dubbed institutionally racist in 1999 by

:20:09. > :20:12.the Macpherson inquiry. Carol Howard is a 35-year-old woman. She was a

:20:13. > :20:16.police officer and she worked for the Diplomatic Protection Group as

:20:17. > :20:27.unarmed officer, one of just two black women within that group of

:20:28. > :20:31.700. -- armed officer. A page of her in uniform was used to promote

:20:32. > :20:35.diversity within the Met Police. But she was targeted by an acting

:20:36. > :20:38.inspector who accused her of tampering with sickness records and

:20:39. > :20:42.a variety of other things. She raised a grievance at work which was

:20:43. > :20:47.investigated, and a finding was amazed that she had been

:20:48. > :20:54.discriminated against on the basis of sex and race. -- are finding was

:20:55. > :20:59.made. Then that report was amended. The key findings were taken out of

:21:00. > :21:02.the report. She took the case to the tribunal and it was only because the

:21:03. > :21:06.solicitors pushed and pushed that the original report with the

:21:07. > :21:09.findings in it was put before them, and they could see the Met Police

:21:10. > :21:13.had amended it to protect their position at the tribunal. The

:21:14. > :21:17.tribunal was very critical of what they said was a policy of amending

:21:18. > :21:22.and deleting findings of discrimination in these internal

:21:23. > :21:31.grievance procedures. The Metropolitan Police have disputed

:21:32. > :21:34.that this was a policy but that is how the tribunal described it. They

:21:35. > :21:39.have said they will look carefully at the findings and act on any key

:21:40. > :21:48.learnings. Thank you. The father of two men who

:21:49. > :21:52.have -- one of the three men from Cardiff who have become jihadists in

:22:14. > :22:18.Muthana. We asked him why he left the UK to join ISIS and if he plans

:22:19. > :22:23.to return home. He said that jihad is obligatory and he had no plans to

:22:24. > :22:28.return home. Do you have any regrets about leaving UK and how far you

:22:29. > :22:33.willing to go for your cause? His response is, no. I can say I am

:22:34. > :22:36.willing to die. So no apparent regrets from the teenager who said

:22:37. > :22:43.he had come across many other Britons in Syria. To him, killing

:22:44. > :22:49.people is just a religious duty, which I think is completely shocking

:22:50. > :22:54.and frightening, to be honest. How can he take the life of a human

:22:55. > :23:01.being? Muslim or non-Muslim? He went to join his brother Nasser Muthana

:23:02. > :23:04.and Reyaad Khan, who appeared in a video recently promoting ISIS

:23:05. > :23:09.propaganda. We discovered that they also appear to have been using

:23:10. > :23:14.social media, in which they describe brutal killings by ISIS. A friend of

:23:15. > :23:22.Reyaad Khan's family says his mother will be devastated. She is shocked

:23:23. > :23:25.and as soon as she sees that, she will be even more shocked and it

:23:26. > :23:29.will be heartbreaking for her as a mother. The men's families in

:23:30. > :23:38.Cardiff have renewed their calls for them to come home to face justice.

:23:39. > :23:42.Just to tell you, if you are in Wales come you can see Tim Rogers's

:23:43. > :23:46.full report about Islamic extremism in Cardiff on BBC One tonight at

:23:47. > :23:50.10:35pm. If you are anywhere else in the country, it will be available on

:23:51. > :23:53.the iPlayer. The Queen has been meeting staff and

:23:54. > :23:59.volunteers who are preparing for the Commonwealth Games. As excitement

:24:00. > :24:02.around the competition builds in Glasgow, the Queen and the Duke of

:24:03. > :24:09.Edinburgh were given a behind-the-scenes look at the venues

:24:10. > :24:14.in the city where the velodrome is hoping to see a lot of medals for

:24:15. > :24:21.the home nations. Add another exciting day in prospect

:24:22. > :24:25.at SW19. Andy Murray takes on Grigor Dimitrov for a place in the

:24:26. > :24:28.semifinals, he hopes, and that Australian teenager who knocked out

:24:29. > :24:31.the world number one Rafael Nadal yesterday is back in action as well.

:24:32. > :24:36.Katherine Downes has all of that from Wimbledon.

:24:37. > :24:40.Hello. Yesterday the tournament was blown wide open. Maria Sharapova out

:24:41. > :24:45.of the women's and Rafael Nadal beaten by a teenager from Australia.

:24:46. > :24:49.Whether or not that helps Andy Murray's prospects is hard to say

:24:50. > :24:52.because the youngsters causing the upsets looked dangerous and ready

:24:53. > :24:57.for more. Today Andy Murray is taking on one of the more talented

:24:58. > :25:01.ones. On Centre Court, even the lines are infused with British hoax.

:25:02. > :25:12.Now it is time to focus on what is at stake in a race for a trophy that

:25:13. > :25:14.could be anyone's. It all starts here. At least six of those guys

:25:15. > :25:16.could win the tournament. It will be exciting tennis fighting for the

:25:17. > :25:25.biggest prize. Two champions fell here. Nick Kyrgios outplayed the

:25:26. > :25:28.great Rafael Nadal. Just 19, and here thanks to a wild card entry, he

:25:29. > :25:34.could not quite believe what he had done. I am just a young kid. Never

:25:35. > :25:40.did I think I would make the quarterfinals of Wimbledon in my

:25:41. > :25:46.first appearance. I am sure some of you have 19-year-old kids. Also

:25:47. > :25:49.gone, Maria Sharapova ten years since she won the title. Angelique

:25:50. > :25:54.Kerber put paid to her hopes of a happy anniversary. She may stick

:25:55. > :25:59.around to see this man, her boyfriend Grigor Dimitrov, who plays

:26:00. > :26:02.Andy Murray today. Judging from pictures that Grigor Dimitrov has

:26:03. > :26:07.posted online recently, he and Andy Murray enjoy each other's company on

:26:08. > :26:11.tour, but any friendship will be set aside this afternoon. This could be

:26:12. > :26:14.the match to finally stretch the Wimbledon champion. Andy Murray has

:26:15. > :26:19.to be a little arrogant and he doesn't like to do that. He has to

:26:20. > :26:24.B, this is my house, and he doesn't like to do that, but this is the

:26:25. > :26:29.kind of persona he have to take on. I think he can do it. Don't get me

:26:30. > :26:34.wrong. But shot be shot on grass, Dimitrov might be better than him

:26:35. > :26:38.but Andy Murray has the experience. Some say Dimitrov has yet to mature

:26:39. > :26:42.into a genuine Grand Slam contender but last month he won Queens, the

:26:43. > :26:47.tournament Andy Murray was supposed to win. Today he is quite capable of

:26:48. > :26:52.another victory that on paper should go to the defending champion. They

:26:53. > :26:58.are just locking up and after that match on Santa court there is an all

:26:59. > :27:01.Swiss match between Stanislas Wawrinka and Roger Federer, so a

:27:02. > :27:03.great match for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge watching from the royal

:27:04. > :27:08.box. Thank you. When tickets went on sale

:27:09. > :27:13.for the first of Monty Python's reunion shows, they sold out in 44

:27:14. > :27:18.seconds. Last night they took to the stage at the O2 Arena in London for

:27:19. > :27:25.the first of ten performances but did the expectation live up to the

:27:26. > :27:29.hype? Tim Muffet was there. The Holy Grail for any Monty Python fan.

:27:30. > :27:34.Tickets not just for a comedy gig but a milestone in popular culture.

:27:35. > :27:41.I have wanted to see Monty Python live since I was ten years old. To

:27:42. > :27:46.me it is like the Beatles reuniting. Extraordinary comic talents. Who

:27:47. > :27:50.would have thought 40 years ago we would be sitting here doing Monty

:27:51. > :27:54.Python? Performing together in the UK for the first time in four

:27:55. > :28:03.decades, they have promised classics with a twist. New material,

:28:04. > :28:12.alongside the very familiar. # Always walk on the bright side of

:28:13. > :28:20.life! Nine more dates at the O2 have been

:28:21. > :28:30.added. But has to wait to see them live once more been worth it? A bit

:28:31. > :28:34.of me thought that I would see septuagenarian men at the O2 to pay

:28:35. > :28:39.their bills, but you can see the love inspired by their material. I

:28:40. > :28:42.don't think I'll ever see a performance as good as theirs ever.

:28:43. > :28:47.Fantastic. I was at the Hollywood bowl show 30 years ago and as great

:28:48. > :28:53.as it was back then. Something completely different? Maybe not, but

:28:54. > :28:59.for Monty Python fans, a night to savour. Nudge, nudge, say no more!

:29:00. > :29:06.Tim Muffet, BBC News. Time for the weather. Hello. Nice

:29:07. > :29:10.and warm out there for many of us with sunshine and especially across

:29:11. > :29:13.the South of the country but not completely dry because in western

:29:14. > :29:19.Scotland and Northern Ireland, the cloud has been thickening into the

:29:20. > :29:23.afternoon. This clear band of cloud is upsetting the weather in the

:29:24. > :29:27.North West of the country and it is the beginning of an unsettled spell

:29:28. > :29:31.heading our way over the next few days. For the time being, still some

:29:32. > :29:35.sunshine and warmth to talk about. We will get to that for tomorrow in

:29:36. > :29:40.a second but this is the here and now, so we can see rain in Scotland

:29:41. > :29:43.nudging into Northern Ireland. To the South of that, in northern

:29:44. > :29:48.England and Wales, skies will turn hazy through the course of the day.

:29:49. > :29:55.It will stay dry and the best weather will be across the South and

:29:56. > :30:01.Southeast and into East Anglia, with temperatures up to 24 and maybe 25.

:30:02. > :30:03.Tonight the cloud and rain sinks further South and by Thursday

:30:04. > :30:09.morning there is not much rain around, just some cloud and a few

:30:10. > :30:14.spots. Tomorrow and Atlantic breeze will bring fresh conditions to a

:30:15. > :30:20.number of areas. For most of us it will not be hot but cloudy with some

:30:21. > :30:24.sunny spells and some rain. The warm weather will be squeezed into the

:30:25. > :30:28.southern and southeastern portion of the country. In London we could get

:30:29. > :30:33.the hottest day of the year with high temperatures of 27 or 28, and

:30:34. > :30:36.as for Wimbledon, it will stay warm and sunny all day. You will be

:30:37. > :30:44.roasting if you are heading there. On Friday, the weather is going

:30:45. > :30:48.downhill a little bit. Well, a fair bit across the West of the country.

:30:49. > :30:53.That means the warmth is still with us on Friday across the East and the

:30:54. > :30:56.South East. This will be the warm spot for most of us. Yellow

:30:57. > :31:03.colouring indicates pressure conditions and then this is the

:31:04. > :31:07.weekend. How low can you go? Right over our neighbourhood, meaning

:31:08. > :31:19.plenty of showers on the way. This is the morning on Saturday. You can

:31:20. > :31:22.see where the rain is by the morning and then by the afternoon it pushes

:31:23. > :31:24.into the North Sea, good riddance. Then we get a slightly better

:31:25. > :31:30.afternoon but no guarantee how good. Sunday should be breezy, fresh

:31:31. > :31:31.with sunshine and showers, so quite mixed. Thank you. That is all
