Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. | :01:34. | :01:57. | |
Gaza has seen one of its heaviest nights of bombardment in the current | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
conflict, as Israel carried out 60 air strikes, targeting sites | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
associated with Hamas, and also damaging Gaza's only power plant. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Local health officials said at least 60 Palestinians were killed. | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
his country would continue to act to destroy tunnels dug by militants | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
under the Gaza-Israel border, which he said had the "sole purpose" | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
of destroying Israeli citizens and killing Israeli children. | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
Our correspondent Chris Morris sent this report. | :02:28. | :02:36. | |
Overnight, Israel took its gloves off... Again. Massive explosions all | :02:37. | :02:48. | |
across Gaza as flares lit up the night sky. On the ground, people | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
moved to try and find safety. Daybreak. Among the targets, the TV | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
station of Hamas. The house of Ismael Haniyeh as well. Both | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
buildings were empty. This is a gradual increase in the pressure on | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
this organisation. They have taken a new step every day and indeed, we | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
are striking and are determined to strike this organisation and | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
relieves ourselves from this thread. The port had also been hit. A small | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
ring warehouse used by local fishermen. TRANSLATION: Each room | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
had 20,000 dollars of fishing equipment in it. It is a | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
catastrophe. Does Hamas use this place? That is a lie. Israel said it | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
carried out 60 air strikes all over Gaza last night and there have been | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
more this morning. You can see the damage that has been done just here. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
Benjamin Netanyahu said this could be a prolonged military campaign and | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
the damage would be felt most deeply by the people of Gaza. This is | :04:02. | :04:18. | |
barbaric, one man said. What do you think of the argument that if Hamas | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
stopped firing rockets into Israel... No, no, this is no | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
argument. Do not talk to me about rocket. Look at this. Look at this. | :04:30. | :04:40. | |
This is nonsense. I am now south of Gaza City. This is the main fuel | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
storage facility for Gaza's only power plant. It was hit by a strike | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
last night. There is not much to say about it, just look at it. Israel | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
said it also targeted command and control units last night. In | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
southern Gaza they were looking through the rubble once again for | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
the bodies of Palestinians. We can speak to our correspondent in | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
Jerusalem, Bethany Bells. Israel says it is not going to give up | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
until it has destroyed the network of tunnels. How easy will that be? | :05:20. | :05:28. | |
It seems to be complicated. The Israeli army says it is identified | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
30 of these tunnels but the army were caught off guard last night | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
when five Israeli soldiers were killed I Palestinian militants | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
coming up through the tunnels from Gaza into Israel. We have been told | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
that these are not single shaft tunnels but they are a labyrinth of | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
multiple underground passageways with many openings to the ground, | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
and destroying them and finding them is difficult. Some Israelis are | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
beginning to ask whether the government and army underestimated | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
this threat, but in general there is widespread support for what the Army | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
is doing in Gaza. Recent polls suggest that the Israelis are about | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
90% in favour of what is going on in Gaza. | :06:21. | :06:32. | |
David Cameron says the government intends to halve the amount of time | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
From November, EU nationals will be able to claim | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
for only three months, unless they have "very clear" job prospects. | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
The Prime Minister says he wants the system to put Britain first, | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
but Labour says the government has produced little in the way | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
Our political correspondent Robin Brant reports. | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
Immigration, we have warrants, open the door, please. Early this morning | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
in west London, a team was out looking for people who may be in the | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
UK working illegally. The Prime Minister, with his Home Secretary in | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
tow, got to see for himself and then explain why it is those who may be | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
here working illegally we will see changes. Some people are coming to | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
work, some people are coming to claim, some people are pretending to | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
be students. I have a clear approach to this. If you do not have a right | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
to be here, you will be sent home, you should not be here. From the | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
autumn, EU migrants will be able to claim jobseeker's allowance for | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
three months, down from six. It is not so much a crackdown but a series | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
of measures to make the UK less attractive to foreigners who do not | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
want to work. It is not clear what the numbers are or how many will be | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
affected. It is claimed 600 thousand migrants are in this country who are | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
out of work. The EU said it is far lower at 60,000. We are from the EU | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
and we deserved to have this benefit. I think the government are | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
trying to do everything they can to support the people. You just have to | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
get into employment or some form of training or a course. Or whatever. | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
This should save taxpayers money. Parliament predicts tens of millions | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
of pounds but it is more about domestic X. The Coalition Government | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
and the Tories in particular are showing that they are trying to | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
address that most vacations of issues that has made UKIP a force in | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
politics. The scars are still healing after UKIP's big win in the | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
May elections. David Cameron is trying to send out the message that | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
he is tackling immigration. Labour say he is failing on his promise. | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
This obsession with a net migrates targets. They said they would cut it | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
to 100,000 but it is up to 200,000. They are taking their eye off the | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
ball on things that could make a difference, like tackling illegal | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
immigration. The reality is they guarantee freedom of movement means | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
the Prime Minister is limited in what he can do to restrict numbers | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
coming here. Let's speak to our chief political correspondent, | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
Norman Smith. How much has this announcement got to do with pressure | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
on the Conservatives from UKIP? This is all about sending out a series of | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
political messages, more than migrant numbers. Yes, it is about | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
appealing to those Tory voters who deserted Mr Cameron for Nigel | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
Farage. It is also about sending out a message to EU migrants who then | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
they can come to Britain and live on the benefit system. It is a message | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
to the electorate generally to say David Cameron takes immigration | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
seriously. It matters because he seems doomed to miss his target of | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
getting net migration down to the tens of thousands by the next | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
election. The figures suggest that it is going up to more than 200,000 | :10:02. | :10:10. | |
in the last year. When you ask ministers how big a problem we have | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
here, how many EU migrants are coming here to claim benefits, there | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
is silence, there is no answer. The EU insists there is no trouble with | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
benefits tourism which reinforces the view that this is more about | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
sending out a message that it is about migrant numbers. Norman, thank | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
you. As fighting intensifies between government and rebel forces in | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
eastern Ukraine, international investigators have been forced to | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
cancel plans to travel to the crash site of the Malaysian airline plane. | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
It is the third day running that the delegation has been turned back. 298 | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
people were killed and some bodies are still unaccounted for. This | :10:55. | :11:04. | |
field of destruction could also be a war crime scene. For a third day, | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
international inspectors have been blocked from getting here to carry | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
on the vital task of finding the clues of what happened and how. It | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
is feared there may be the remains of victims here as well. It is the | :11:19. | :11:26. | |
new flare-up in fighting in Ukraine that has troubled inspectors. These | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
images are from the pro-Russian rebels. Having retaken a town, the | :11:31. | :11:39. | |
focus of year seems to be on Donetsk. It is perilously close to | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
the crash site which has been in rebel hands. So, the grieving | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
families are preparing to meet David Cameron, full of anguish and with | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
many questions unanswered. There are urgent questions for the aviation | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
industry about continuing to fly over conflict zones like Ukraine and | :12:00. | :12:09. | |
Barack. -- Iraq. Our concern is that some airlines are making decisions | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
based on financial security rather than saving six minutes. On the | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
ground in Ukraine families have continued to flee the fighting, all | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
part of the backdrop to a new level of economic sanctions on Russia | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
for, they say, destabilising Ukraine, something that Moscow | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
denies. It is the fallout from flight MH17 and the loss of life | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
that may have tipped the balance in finally agreeing to turn the | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
economic screw on Moscow. As the fighting continues, new sanctions | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
are being drawn up by EU ambassadors in Brussels. Russia is accused of | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
destabilising Ukraine with its support for rebels. We can speak to | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
our correspondent in Brussels. The move seems to have changed, why is | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
that and what can we expect in terms of sanctions? The 28th ambassadors | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
of the EU are meeting now and we expect by the end of the day an | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
announcement on sanctions, tougher than we have seen before. The EU has | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
struggled to come up with any agreement about extending sanctions, | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
beyond the limited asset freezes and travel bans for a certain number of | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
individuals. There has been a feeling that the economic interests | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
are too great for any agreement on wide-ranging economic sanctions to | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
hurt specific sectors of the Russian economy. What changed was the | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
downing of MH17. That has firmed the resolve of European leaders to get | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
serious and sent Moscow a message. It does not believe Russia is doing | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
enough to secure the crash site or doing enough to stop the flow of | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
arms between Russia and eastern Ukraine. They want Vladimir Putin to | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
the escalate this crisis. We expect sanctions on an EU wide basis | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
against sections of the Russian economy, making it difficult for | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
Russian banks to tap European capital, banning the flow of exports | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
in energy and arms, all capital, banning the flow of exports | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
that this economic pressure will convince President Putin to change | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
course in the Ukraine. Thank you. The top story this lunch time: | :14:34. | :14:42. | |
Israel steps up its bombardment of Gaza. Officials say 60 Palestinians | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
were killed. Israel says it was targeting Hamas. Still to come. It | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
is not cricket. A cricketer comes under fire over the wristbands he is | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
wearing. On BBC London: Could thousands of derelict sites across | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
the capital be the answer to easing the housing shortage? The fight to | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
prevent these Victorian allotments from being concreted over. | :15:07. | :15:16. | |
After a successful night on the track and in the pool for | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
the home nations, today there are 31 more gold medals up for grabs, | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
from track and field, to gymnastics, to mountain bikers taking to | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
the trails around Glasgow. Well, with all the morning's news | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
so far, our sports correspondent, Andy Swiss, is at | :15:32. | :15:32. | |
the athletics venue, Hampden Park. It has been another busy morning | :15:33. | :15:42. | |
around Glasgow, not least here inside Hampden Park. 40,000 fans | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
inside the stadium. Tremendous atmosphere. They have seen plenty of | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
the big names in action. He was the man who lapped into Olympic history | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
will stop Greg Rutherford, gold in London, now going for gold in | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
Glasgow. Wow. So far, so good. He qualified for the final with his | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
very first leap. But for his team-mate Andy Turner there was only | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
agony. The defending hurdles champion crashing out in the first | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
round. His title defence over before it had begun. Make a mistake like | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
that at the first hurdle, to come back is very difficult. Schoolboy | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
error. Idiot. It was the return of the well-off, David Weir in the | :16:34. | :16:41. | |
heats of the 1500m. He proved in a class of his own once again. The | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
morning's biggest cheer was reserved for Scotland's biggest star. She | :16:47. | :16:56. | |
carries the nation's hopes into the hurdles heat. What nerves? She | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
charged to a comfortable win and safely through to the final. I have | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
been dying to get out and get the first round out of the way and get a | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
feel for the atmosphere. It was nerve wracking watching it all | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
happening. Mountain biking came back, dropped for the last Games, it | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
returned in style. The picturesque Trail south of Glasgow. The | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
hillsides filled with fans as Canada and Australia battled it out. There | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
has also been a new doping controversy. The 16-year-old from | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
Nigeria won weightlifting gold last week. She has been provisionally | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
suspended after failing a drugs test. Plenty for the fans to enjoy | :17:42. | :17:49. | |
here inside Hampden Park. Let us talk to the Commonwealth 400m | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
medallist. First of all, what they performance from a Lee Childs. She | :17:55. | :18:03. | |
is one of the medal hopes on the track. She coped very well with the | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
pressure. She controlled the race from the start and she had a great | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
run. Fantastic. Give us an idea of some of the pressure. She is the | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
poster girl. She is. Huge amount of pressure. She has coped really | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
well. She said she is aware she is the poster girl, high expectations, | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
but she is coping with it and enjoying it and that is how she is | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
managing to deliver great performances. Tonight we have the | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
final of the 400m. Tell us how you see it shaping up. It is between the | :18:41. | :18:50. | |
three Jamaicans and the raining Commonwealth champion from Botswana. | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
They are the four main contenders. The English girl in there, we will | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
see what she can do. She did well to get to the final. Also the women's | :19:01. | :19:09. | |
1500m final. That is the one I am excited about seeing. We have a | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
Scottish girl, third in the Commonwealth at the moment. Two | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
strong girls ahead of her. Two Kenyans. She will have it tough. A | :19:22. | :19:31. | |
couple of English girls as well. Hannah England was silver medallist | :19:32. | :19:33. | |
from the World Championships but not running quite so well this year. A | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
busy morning for the athletes. Also busy for the Royals who have been | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
touring the facilities in Glasgow as Lorna Gordon now reports. A royal | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
visit to a grassroots sporting project in Glasgow. Prince Harry and | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
Prince William are in the city for the Commonwealth Games. This morning | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
they took the chance to show off their sporting price. We are | :19:58. | :20:06. | |
delighted to welcome... -- sporting prowess. They have been enjoying the | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
action at a number of different sports. Boxing, watching the | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
swimming pool. At the gym asters, the royals were for a time almost | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
unnoticed by the crowd for a short time at least. And informal tribute | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
to her Majesty at the hockey. Perhaps because of this, the selfie | :20:31. | :20:39. | |
who hit the internet. Inadvertently photo bombed by the Queen last week. | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
We did ask, can we have a selfie with you? He said, I hate selfie 's. | :20:47. | :20:56. | |
I will have a photo with you. We had a photo with him with a few of the | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
other girls. While Prince Harry professes to hate what are known as | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
selfies, he did pose happily in the back of someone else's. The royals | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
showed their support for athletes from all over the Commonwealth | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
competing for glory. We have some big finals here | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
tonight. Including the men's 110m hurdles. 24 of the fans to look | :21:27. | :21:34. | |
forward to. Back to you. -- plenty for all of the fans. | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
the athletics venue, Hampden Park. Some of the South Korean teenagers | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
who survived the ferry disaster last April in | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
which over 300 people died have been telling a court about their ordeal. | :21:45. | :21:46. | |
The captain and 14 crew members are on trial. | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
Our Seoul correspondent, Lucy Williamson, | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
was at court this morning and we spoke to her a short while ago. | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
There have been some harrowing details that have emerged | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
from the second day of the student testimony here in South Korea. | :21:57. | :21:58. | |
One student described how the teenagers tried to stay in | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
their places inside the ship when suddenly all the lights went out | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
and the water started rushing in. We were swept along, he said. | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
He described at least one student having to swim | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
his way out to safety under water. Another schoolmate said how he was | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
feeling guilty for having survived. A third, how he found it difficult | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
even to take showers in the aftermath of the sinking. | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
This trial, in which the captain and three other | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
crew members are facing homicide charges, has also been examining | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
the behaviour of the coastguards sent to rescue those on board. | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
One student said the passengers inside the ship could be clearly | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
seen by the rescuers outside. Another student described how he | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
only received help from the coastguard as he was about | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
to board the rescue helicopter. There is a strong sense here | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
in South Korea that people need to know who to blame for this shocking | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
and unexpected disaster. But the list of allegations is long | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
and the targets include individuals, commercial interests | :23:02. | :23:14. | |
and state organisations. The Shadow Health Secretary, | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
Andy Burnham, has called for all contracts | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
between the NHS and private providers in England to be halted | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
until after the general election. He claims the health service | :23:28. | :23:29. | |
is being forcibly privatised. Further privatisation | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
of services should not proceed until the public have had a proper say. | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
Today I have written to the chief executive of NHS England to ask that | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
no further contracts for NHS clinical services are signed until | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
after the next election when we have had a chance to have that debate. | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
Well, our health editor, Hugh Pym, is with me. | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
Why is Andy Burnham raising this? I think he is trying to tap into a | :23:50. | :23:58. | |
groundswell of opinion against what he calls for Sprite is. This view | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
holds the Government's reforms to the NHS in England a couple of years | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
ago opened the back door to private companies to come in. The people who | :24:07. | :24:14. | |
commission health care argue they are obliged to put things out to | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
tender. Staffordshire, a contract for cancer care, contracts are out | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
there and up for grabs. The argument is the very fabric of the NHS is | :24:24. | :24:32. | |
being threatened. But the Government says Labour started allowing the NHS | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
to commission hip replacements from private hospitals. If you look at | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
the percentage spent on clinical provision from the private sector, | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
it is only about 6.6% of the overall NHS budget in England. The | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
Government says they have given the power of decision-making to local | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
clinical commissioning groups, GPs in effect. I think this argument | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
will run and run until the election. Thank you very much. | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
is with me. England's cricketers have | :25:09. | :25:10. | |
re-inforced their strong position on day three of the third Test | :25:11. | :25:12. | |
against India. The tourists are 108-3 at lunch, | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
but as our sports correspondent, Joe Wilson, reports, | :25:16. | :25:17. | |
at the start of the day, it was England batsman Moren Ali who | :25:18. | :25:19. | |
was attracting all the attention. Moeen Ali is a serious cricketer, | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
thoughtful man, a Muslim. What opinion is he allowed to express | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
during play? On Monday, he wore wristbands supporting Gaza and | :25:33. | :25:34. | |
Palestine. Would he do it today question he not say. The cricket's | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
governing body warned him not to. England said he could. Look for the | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
long sleeves in the centre of the shot. His wrists appeared bare. | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
England's job was to take wickets. Close here, not out. The umpire | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
statement was clear. Highly visible on England's collars, a charitable | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
cause theme permissible. It was Broad who got the breakthrough. A | :26:01. | :26:09. | |
significant obstacle removed. India 56-2, still over 500 behind. | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
Sometimes when you are bowling, the stumps can seem 15 feet macro tool. | :26:15. | :26:24. | |
-- 15ft tall. Anderson found the edge of his bat. The ball bounced in | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
front of Ian Bell who was in pain and took a precautionary trip to | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
hospital. Vijay had made over 300 runs in the first two Tests. To get | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
him out before lunch as well as a cause for serious celebration. Moeen | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
Ali was using his wrist to bowl before the end of the session. Did | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
it brushed the glove? Probably. Not out. Everyone obeys the umpire. | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
was attracting all the attention. Four years ago, | :26:56. | :26:57. | |
Xander Parish left Hull to become the first British dancer, male or | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
female, to join the illustrious Mariinsky Ballet in Russia. | :27:01. | :27:02. | |
Well, after being promoted to soloist earlier this year, he's | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
back in the UK starring in three ballets in London's Covent Garden. | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
Our arts correspondent, Rebecca Jones, has been to see him. | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
On stage and in the spotlight, Xander Parish is Romeo | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
in Romeo and Juliet. For a boy born in the North | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
of England, it is no surprise he was inspired by Billy Elliot. | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
It was just great to see ballet and boys dancing brought to | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
a wider audience. I think Billy had it a lot | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
harder than I did, to be honest. I didn't go down any coal mines. | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
Away from the gilded grandeur of Covent Garden is the Skelton Hooper | :27:37. | :27:38. | |
School of Dance and Theatre in Hull. Vanessa Hooper taught him ballet. | :27:39. | :27:49. | |
She can still picture a small boy arriving | :27:50. | :27:55. | |
for his first lesson 20 years ago. I remember this enthusiastic little | :27:56. | :27:57. | |
boy running into class, with his sister, in his black shorts | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
and a T-shirt, looking very out of control, rather like Bambi on ice. | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
Then eventually he started to understand the technique and I | :28:08. | :28:16. | |
realised he had these beautiful legs and feet. | :28:17. | :28:19. | |
Now he is in a very different class. From Hull, | :28:20. | :28:21. | |
he joined the Royal Ballet, but no one took much notice of him and he | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
became increasingly frustrated. You are already in the cream | :28:26. | :28:28. | |
of the crop. Each year they kick people out. | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
The cream joins the company. Out of that cream, | :28:34. | :28:35. | |
everyone is trying to get the same parts and the same roles. | :28:36. | :28:38. | |
It is very difficult to break out. It took a visit from the | :28:39. | :28:41. | |
Mariinsky Ballet to spot his potential and invite him | :28:42. | :28:44. | |
to join the ballet in Russia. I feel very privileged to | :28:45. | :28:47. | |
have gone for the Mariinsky. It is a huge honour. | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
For a Brit, it is unheard of. It is a huge experience for me and | :28:52. | :28:56. | |
one I would not change for anything. Now he is returning home a star. | :28:57. | :29:00. | |
Quite a journey for the Yorkshire lad turned Russian romantic lead. | :29:01. | :29:11. | |
Time for a look at the weather. Here's Stav Daneos. | :29:12. | :29:17. | |
This is the satellite picture of what has been going on for the last | :29:18. | :29:23. | |
few hours. A bit of cloud across the south-east which cleared away. | :29:24. | :29:27. | |
Plenty of unbroken sunshine. The different story further north and | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
west. Thicker cloud and a breeze and spots of rain. More of a breeze in | :29:33. | :29:37. | |
Glasgow for the Games. It could be quite gusty at times. The odd | :29:38. | :29:43. | |
shower. As we had through the course of this afternoon, the cloud | :29:44. | :29:48. | |
spilling further south. Not spoiling the sunshine in the south-east. | :29:49. | :29:53. | |
Across Scotland and the Northern Isles, frequent showers. The best of | :29:54. | :29:59. | |
the sunshine for eastern Scotland. For Northern Ireland, thicker cloud, | :30:00. | :30:05. | |
the odd spot of light rain, maybe the odd shower pushing into the | :30:06. | :30:09. | |
north-west of England. Maybe for the Pennines. In the south, holding onto | :30:10. | :30:17. | |
the sunshine. Very warm. Unbroken sunshine for the cricket at | :30:18. | :30:21. | |
Southampton. Looks like there will not be any interruptions there. | :30:22. | :30:24. | |
Perfect conditions. This evening and overnight, the band of cloud will | :30:25. | :30:30. | |
continue to advance south-east. Clearing away. Not really any rain. | :30:31. | :30:38. | |
Slightly cooler air. Cloudy and breezy in the north-east. Wednesday, | :30:39. | :30:46. | |
the northern half of the UK will remain unsettled. Closer to the area | :30:47. | :30:49. | |
of low pressure. Quite a breeze blowing in from the west. Midlands, | :30:50. | :30:54. | |
much of Wales, southern England, a fine day to come. Variable amounts | :30:55. | :31:00. | |
of cloud. Mainly dry. Not quite as hot. Looking at upper teens to | :31:01. | :31:07. | |
around 1 degrees. Thursday looks like the unsettled conditions | :31:08. | :31:11. | |
continue to move further south. Outbreaks of rain for Northern | :31:12. | :31:14. | |
Ireland, northern England and Scotland. Breezy too. The south-east | :31:15. | :31:22. | |
just holding onto the dry weather. Friday on the weekend, an area of | :31:23. | :31:27. | |
low pressure turns things more unsettled. As we look towards the | :31:28. | :31:30. | |
end of the week, things turn more unsettled but good news for the | :31:31. | :31:33. | |
gardens that need some rain. | :31:34. | :31:36. |
