Britain is to commit 1000 troops to a new NATO rapid reaction force able | :00:07. | :00:20. | |
to deploy anywhere within 48 hours. As fighting continues in Ukraine, | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
there is condemnation of Russia's involvement. Russia is ripping up | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
the rule book with its annexation of Crimea and its troops on sovereign | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
soil in Ukraine. We will look at why Ukraine is causing concern and what | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
the military commitment means. Also, more police on patrol in Calais as | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
migrants make their way across the English Channel. The high streets | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
are open for business, new figures show shop vacancies at their lowest | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
level for four years. The Lord Mayor of London is the new head of the | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
independent enquiry into historic child sex abuse. Walking with the | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
world's biggest dinosaur. Later on BBC London: | :01:05. | :01:13. | |
Police shoot dead a man who was threatening a woman with a knife at | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
a house in Islington. And tributes are paid to the | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
grandmother who was beheaded in Edmonton yesterday. | :01:19. | :01:36. | |
Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. | :01:37. | :01:53. | |
David Cameron has said Britain is ready to contribute 3,500 service | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
personnel to a new rapid reaction force which could be deployed to any | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
trouble spot, such as Ukraine or the Middle East, within 48 hours. | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
Speaking at the final day of the NATO summit in Wales, | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
Mr Cameron also expressed serious doubts about plans for a ceasefire | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
between Kiev and Moscow. Fighting between pro-Russian rebels | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
and Government forces is continuing in the east of the country and NATO | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
leaders are determined to impose further sanctions against Russia. | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
Our diplomatic correspondent Bridget Kendall sent this report. | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
The Red Arrows, with aircraft from eight other NATO nations. An | :02:21. | :02:30. | |
impressive fly past where might the airpower be used in earnest and not | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
just for show? As leaders watched the skies, foreign and defence | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
ministers conferred over plans to counter the Islamic threat in Iraq | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
and Syria. The Americans want a coalition ready before world leaders | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
meet at the UN in two weeks' time. At the round table session this | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
morning, it was the rapid reaction force that was showcased, to respond | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
quickly to world emergencies and counter Russian expansionism on | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
NATO's borders. In 2002, NATO stood down there force. I hope we can | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
agree a new force, deployable anywhere in the world within five | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
days. There are other plans to counter Russian aggression. New EU | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
and US sanctions. Britain thinks they should be slapped on Russia | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
despite peace talks in Belarus today which had raised hopes of a | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
cease-fire in Ukraine. Based on experience, what would be sensible | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
is to go ahead with the plan for increased sanctions. If there is a | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
cease-fire and if it is signed, and if it is then implemented, we can | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
then look at lifting sanctions. And this is why Great Britain is | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
suspicious that peace moves may not work. Fierce fighting on the ground | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
in eastern Ukraine. This was in the South East of the country. Shelling | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
by missiles. Ukrainian government troops have been fearing an assault | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
by pro-Russian rebels. Today, the peace talks in Belarus are being | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
watched closely. Envoys from Russia, Ukraine and rebel representatives | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
are working on a cease-fire mechanism. If agreed, it could lead | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
to a truce. But here at the NATO summit, they are not holding their | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
breaths. They point out that this is not the first time that President | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
Putin has come up with a cease-fire plan as Western leaders ramp up | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
their sanctions. All the more reason to keep up the pressure. | :04:44. | :04:57. | |
Well, as we've heard the volatile situation in Ukraine is causing | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
great concern among world leaders. So, how did we get here | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
and just what are the dangers? Well, with me is | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
our correspondent Christian Fraser. Christian. | :05:07. | :05:07. | |
Let's go back to the turn of the year and the start | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
of the Ukraine conflict. You'll remember President Yanukovych | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
abandoned an agreement to forge closer ties with the EU, bringing | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
thousands onto the streets. It culminated | :05:16. | :05:15. | |
thousands onto the streets. in one of the bloodiest days | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
thousands onto the streets. shot dead in Kiev by the snipers | :05:21. | :05:20. | |
loyal to the outgoing President. Within a month | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
of the new interim government taking power Russian forces were massing | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
on Ukraine's eastern border. power Russian forces were massing | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
Followed by the quick annexation of Crimea, so strategically important | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
to the Russian Black Sea Fleet. I want to show you this map, issued | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
yesterday by the National Security and Defence Council in Ukraine, | :05:39. | :05:47. | |
which shows you the situation now. These are the majority Russian | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
speaking districts of Luhansk, Donetsk, | :05:51. | :05:51. | |
where the fighting continues. And there's an increasingly tense | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
situation down here in Mariopol. The NATO satellite imagery | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
demonstrates how momentum is shifting, | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
in fact quite decisively this past week in favour of the rebels who are | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
backed, according to everyone but Moscow, by the thousands of | :06:03. | :06:12. | |
Russian troops now inside Ukraine. Let me put up some amateur footage | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
from Lugansk this week, which would appear to show one | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
Russian column on the move. So what is Russia up to? | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
Well, let's shift our perspective for a moment - | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
have a look at what Moscow sees. NATO has grown, particularly since | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
2004, right onto Russia's doorstep. Ukraine is now the buffer. | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
One of President Putin's main objectives is to stop his biggest | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
neighbour drifting to the alliance. At the moment, Moscow is seeing that | :06:39. | :06:48. | |
NATO is trying to surround it from the US and from the south. | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
Basically, it is by military standards. That is aggression. | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
Ukraine is not a member of NATO so it doesn't have | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
the protection of Article 5, the agreement that an attack | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
on one state is an attack on all. But others satellite states do. | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania - all members of NATO | :07:11. | :07:11. | |
and increasingly nervous. The Baltic countries are very happy | :07:12. | :07:20. | |
to see the high readiness units are operating in the Baltic Sea. | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
So new deployments at sea, there have been fighters jets moved | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
to Lithuania and Romania, these are American paratroopers | :07:28. | :07:36. | |
arriving in Estonia. The dilemma is how to reassure these | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
NATO members, sending that clear signal to Russia, | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
without antagonising President Putin further. | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
The compromise it seems is this new multinational force, capable | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
of deploying within just 48 hours. It's titled the | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
Readiness Action Plan. Ammunition, command and logistics, | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
as you have seen, being pre-positioned in Baltic states. | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
In other words, we have gone back in time. | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
Not necessarily to a new Cold War. But NATO are certainly moving | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
back to its main purpose. Collective Territorial Defence. | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
Let's go back to the NATO summit and speak to Norman Smith. What you make | :08:05. | :08:21. | |
of this rapid reaction force? It is one of a series of significant | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
announcement by NATO leaders, designed to send a message to | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
President Putin to back off the Ukraine and ambitions he may have in | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
eastern Europe. This new force, which will be British led, will be | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
in eastern Europe with its headquarters in Poland. Over the | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
next two years or so, we will see a series of military exercises by NATO | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
along the eastern flank with Russia. The next NATO summit will be in | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
Poland. On top of that, NATO leaders were quite clear that the latest | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
cease-fire proposals by President Hooton, they do not trust them | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
believe them. They are going to go ahead with sanctions come what may. | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
Later today we will see new sanctions announced in Brussels and | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
Washington, designed to incur exports of defence material, as well | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
as financial restrictions on the energy sector. In the past few | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
minutes we heard from the Secretary General of NATO who significantly | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
said that NATO would retain its open door policy to new applicants. It is | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
going to encourage new members to join. Among those seeking to join is | :09:41. | :09:50. | |
Ukraine, a move that will be deeply resisted in Moscow. NATO are trying | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
to put a protective arm around Ukraine. Thank you. | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
Extra police are being deployed in Calais to tackle an increase | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
in people trying to get to Britain illegally. | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
For the first time, Eurotunnel has warned its customers that people are | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
now trying to smuggle themselves in cars, not just lorries. | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
The French authorities say they've never seen such high numbers | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
of migrants. Our correspondent Leah Gooding is | :10:13. | :10:13. | |
in Calais. Good afternoon. This location is | :10:14. | :10:25. | |
where migrants turn up every single day for the only hot meal of the | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
day, many arriving with next to nothing and facing an uncertain | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
future. Very soon we are expecting migrants to gather here for | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
demonstrations. They are unhappy with their lack of support. Many | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
still arrive every day in the hope they will reach Great Britain. The | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
desperation here is clear. Day after day, migrants return with one aim | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
which is to reach Great Britain. And now what is also clear is that the | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
police have also stepped up their presence. Dozens of migrants early | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
this morning were targeting those lorries, scaling the fences here, | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
desperate to get into those lorries and head out to the English Channel | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
and reach Great Britain. Many are desperate, fleeing from countries | :11:20. | :11:30. | |
that are war-torn. Sudan Syria. Security have been stepping up their | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
presence but they say they need more help from British authorities. Both | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
sides are becoming increasingly angry. The migrants said the police | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
are being heavy-handed and say they have nowhere else to go. Each day it | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
is thought more migrants will arrive here, leaving the authorities with a | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
big challenge ahead. They need to stay in control of an ever more | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
volatile situation. The local police are telling us today that they are | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
in control of that situation, as least for now. Eurotunnel are | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
telling British tourists to stay vigilant around their vehicles and | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
making sure they are locked and secure ROM and making sure their | :12:13. | :12:13. | |
safety comes first. The | :12:14. | :12:22. | |
Lord Mayor of London Fiona Woolf has replaced Lady | :12:23. | :12:35. | |
historical child abuse. historical child abuse. | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
child abuse experts and victim of abuse. Well, our Home | :12:39. | :12:39. | |
Affairs correspondent Tom Symonds is with me. | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
She is a very respected public figure and is a tax lawyer, she is | :12:42. | :12:49. | |
not an expert in child abuse. I have spoken to people at the Home Office | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
and asked them whether it was a conscious decision, to find someone | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
who would not be tainted on how child abuse was dealt with in the | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
past. No was the answer but there were experts who saw her as the best | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
person for the job. She is backed up by a panel. The Home Office has | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
announced a panel which includes at least one victim of child abuse and | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
one expert in the field who has served with a children's bureau. | :13:18. | :13:26. | |
Will she be acceptable to all sides, remembering her predecessor was | :13:27. | :13:34. | |
not? No, the last person was not acceptable because of her family | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
links. There are some survivors of child abuse who say she is too | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
establishment. But in general, she has had a better reaction from those | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
survivors, who say it is good to have someone who is not connected | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
with the arguments about the way this was dealt with in the past, and | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
that they like the panel that has been put alongside her. Thank you. | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
After years of gloom, there are signs that Britain's high | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
streets are gradually reviving, with the number | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
of empty shops slowly declining. The Local Data Company, | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
which monitors the health of town centres, says average | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
vacancy rates are now at their lowest level since June 2010. | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
Our business correspondent Emma Simpson reports. | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
The empty shops are slowly being re-let. Sid cup is on the up. An | :14:21. | :14:32. | |
empty supermarket is now a gym. -- Sidcup. A High Street has been | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
spruced up. This affluent town lost its way dealing with big out-of-town | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
shopping areas. It is finding new ways to bring them back. The | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
traditional High Street is probably dead but you have to look at it in a | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
different way. We are bringing gymnasiums onto the High Street, | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
higher education, training centre, and we have little shops to enable | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
the young entrepreneurs to and move on to the future. This entrepreneur | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
has certainly made a difference. She turned an empty store into a | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
thriving cafe. Then she cleaned up by reviving this business. She also | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
bought the empty shop next door. Why invest so much on her High Street? | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
We believe in Sidcup. I know Sidcup has a lot of potential and a lot of | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
residents have money to spend. has a lot of potential and a lot of | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
keep it in Sidcup. Here is has a lot of potential and a lot of | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
refurbished. This town is being turned around. Three years ago, | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
refurbished. This town is being in five shops were lying empty and | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
now it is just one in 20. Sidcup is not the | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
now it is just one in 20. Sidcup is looking up. Today's research | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
suggests the overall picture on the High Street is improving. We have | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
300 Moorfield shops than the previous month but we have | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
significant polarisation up and down the country and not all towns are | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
getting better. The majority are getting better but there are | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
significant numbers continuing to get worse. That means that we still | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
have way too many of these, and with billions of pounds worth of shop | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
leases coming up for your -- renewal, further challenges lie | :16:22. | :16:22. | |
ahead for the High Street. The top story this lunch time... | :16:23. | :16:59. | |
Britain is to commit 1000 troops to new NATO reaction forces able to | :17:00. | :17:09. | |
deploy anywhere within 48 hours. Joe Root rallies England. Will it be | :17:10. | :17:19. | |
enough for victory. On BBC London, we visit the London Academy in the | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
top ten comprehensive is for GCSE results in the country. We will be | :17:24. | :17:32. | |
live at the Tall Ships Let's get more details for my health | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
correspondent. It is a booming market and 2 million people in the | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
UK use e-cigarettes. Opinion is divided and we do not have the | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
answers about the long-term impact on health. Researchers say it is | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
clear that the products are much safer than conventional cigarette. | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
They say more than 6000 early deaths can be prevented every year in the | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
UK for every million smokers who switched to e-cigarettes. A separate | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
team of researchers say the level of vapour for devices would not cause | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
problems for people nearby, and they argue the popularity of e-cigarettes | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
could help smokers quit. E-cigarettes are much less harmful | :18:17. | :18:24. | |
than cigarette smoking. Smoking is so dangerous that the single best | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
thing a smoker can do is stop smoking as soon as possible. If | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
e-cigarettes can help them stop smoking then that'll be beneficial | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
to their health. Other health experts are calling for stronger | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
regulation. They fear there are still too many unanswered questions | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
about the long-term effects of this business. The biggest worry is the | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
whole idea of raft of young people being brought into the nicotine | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
habit. Tobacco companies are buying these organisations like crazy as | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
they see it as a big opportunity. The worry is that it will take the | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
edge of some smokers who feel like they want to give up. The World | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
Health Organisation said in a report last week that there should be new | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
laws to stop e-cigarettes being used in public. That idea will be | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
discussed at a meeting next month, and there will be more arguments in | :19:19. | :19:28. | |
the meantime. The former Radio 1 DJ Dave Lee Travis has pleaded not | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
guilty to charges of sexual assault between 1990 and 2008. The | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
prosecution has described him as an opportunity -- opportunist. What was | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
said in court, Matt? For the past hour, the jury has heard from a | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
woman who gave evidence from behind a screen to protect their | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
anonymity. She said she was a researcher, aged 24, when she went | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
to visit Dave Lee Travis at his home to interview him. She said he placed | :20:06. | :20:14. | |
his hands on her breasts. She said she did not know what to do and she | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
was embarrassed. She said that later on she felt exploited and she felt | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
very depressed about what had happened. She is one of three women | :20:23. | :20:30. | |
that Dave Lee Travis is alleged to have indecently assaulted or | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
sexually assaulted. Two of the charges relate to a previous trial | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
in which a jury was unable to reach a verdict. There is a third charge | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
against a woman who was working as a researcher on a TV programme in the | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
1990s. Dave Lee Travis denies all the charges against him. Thank you. | :20:49. | :20:58. | |
Some good news for people who despair of remembering endless | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
passwords. Today sees the launch of a new way of accessing bank accounts | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
by identifying individuals through the pattern of veins in their | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
fingers. Instead of passwords and numbers, users can log onto their | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
accounts by placing a finger onto a scanner. Our correspondent has more. | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
Once you had to go into a branch to do your banking. Now there is the | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
Internet. Keeping fraudsters out of the account is a problem. It is | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
where this comes in. Banking with your finger. It is not using your | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
fingerprints but the unique veins on the inside of your finger, scanning | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
them with infrared light and giving access to your bank account. This is | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
usually say. Barclay's Bank says only alive finger will work, so no | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
fraudulent copies. This one is for a business. Obviously, you cannot use | :21:54. | :22:05. | |
this mobile tool with mobile banking. This will definitely go for | :22:06. | :22:15. | |
retail. This may be helpful for the people who are fed up with numbers | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
and passwords. You have to get bank details, set it up, and then they | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
call you, and put in a code and all that kind of business, it is a | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
hassle. They asked me for my membership number, a middle name of | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
my mother, it is too much. It is a long process but it is worth it | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
because I trust it. Finger vein scanning has appeared on cash | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
machines in Poland and Japan. Barclay's Bank is charging for the | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
scanners and they do not work with smartphones but make them smaller | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
and cheaper and finger banking could be here to stay. The Green Party of | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
England and Wales has kicked off their party conference in | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
Birmingham. The leader, Natalie Bennett, has called for the National | :23:06. | :23:13. | |
minimum wage to rise. We can go to our political correspondent. This is | :23:14. | :23:21. | |
a party who once said it is not just about the environment but a broader | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
left wing agenda. They are talking about a guaranteed income for | :23:26. | :23:27. | |
everybody in the country, paid for by the taxpayer, worth ?80 a week | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
for adults, and a higher minimum wage as well. Natalie Bennett is the | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
leader of the Green Party. We need to make the minimum wage minimum | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
wage now. That would lift it to ?7 65 an hour. We would look for a 3% | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
increase year on year. We are talking about a gradual increase. We | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
really have two balance our economy. Wealthy individuals and | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
multinational companies are not paying their taxes or paying | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
adequate wages. Britain is a low-wage economy. We have two allow | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
people to get a decent return on their Labour. I have already been | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
talking to defecting Lib Dems who were Lib Dem members but they have | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
come to the Green Party. The Green Party's hope will be that there will | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
be plenty more of them to help them in the general election. They fear | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
losing their one Parliamentary seat in Brighton. They also fear the | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
prospect of a new Parliament with no Green Party MP. Alistair Cooke's | :24:35. | :24:53. | |
side has already lost the series but with Joe Root having reached his | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
century and England on 249-6, it leaves them well-placed for a | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
consolation victory. Like a summer spent waiting for a barbecue to | :25:06. | :25:13. | |
ignite, cricket watchers have looked questionably at Cook. The captain | :25:14. | :25:24. | |
hits to fours at Headingley but this series is a lost cause. The last | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
71-day internationals, England have won one. They know they have to | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
accelerate but how? They fell quickly but risk-taking is part of | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
this game. Early next year, it is another World Cup. Should | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
this game. Early next year, it is rely on Joe Root's correctness, for | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
example? The clock is ticking, the scoreboard is slowing. 91-3 with the | :25:50. | :25:57. | |
innings approaching halfway. While Joe Root 's continued to excel, | :25:58. | :26:11. | |
Hitler -- Butler reminded us... The remains of a huge dinosaur, seven | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
times bigger than a T Rex and weighing more than a herd of | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
elephants has been discovered in Argentina. Scientists say it could | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
be the biggest creature ever to roam the earth. Experts say that it is | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
likely that when it died it was not fully grown. | :26:30. | :26:44. | |
They were the largest creatures ever to have walked the earth - the | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
Titanosaurus . This computer animation is only an | :26:50. | :26:49. | |
Titanosaurus . This computer their size and what these | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
Titanosaurus . This computer creatures looked like , based on | :26:54. | :27:13. | |
just a handful of bones discovered over the decades. Now, US scientists | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
writing in the journal Scientific Reports say they have found 100 | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
bones from just one dinosaur. This leg bone is the size of a grown man | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
. They've pieced together this creature which they have called | :27:24. | :27:25. | |
Dreadnoughtus on a computer and discovered much more about it. The | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
researchers say that Dreadnoughtus is the largest land mammal | :27:29. | :27:30. | |
discovered so far. It would have dwarfed us. From head to tail it was | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
26 metres long, just under the length of a passenger aircraft . But | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
it weighed 60 metric tonnes . That is the weight of a dozen elephants. | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
And what is really amazing is that this particular animal wasn't even | :27:42. | :27:44. | |
fully grown . We are learning a lot from this animal already . We have | :27:45. | :27:47. | |
experiments going on in the laboratory that have to do with the | :27:48. | :27:50. | |
biomechanics of the mammal, how it walked and how it moved. We are | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
doing experiments to do with the growth history of the animal , | :27:55. | :27:56. | |
looking at bone cells, and experiments where we are trying to | :27:57. | :27:59. | |
extract ancient tissues from the dinosaur bones themselves. Earlier | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
this year, a separate team discovered the remains of another | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
huge dinosaur that they say was 20 metres tall when its neck was | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
upright. Scientists hope that these discoveries will help them learn | :28:15. | :28:17. | |
just how these creatures became so gigantic. These animals grew really | :28:18. | :28:19. | |
quickly, reaching their full body size in 30 or 40 years . There was | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
this enormous growth spurt that they had early on. The large size might | :28:24. | :28:26. | |
be down the fact that they eat plants. They are basically giant | :28:27. | :28:35. | |
fermentation tanks, walking around and digesting nasty and unnutritious | :28:36. | :28:38. | |
plant food and that may have made them bigger. The titanosaurus lived | :28:39. | :28:46. | |
70 to 100 million years ago . It was a time when herds of these giant | :28:47. | :28:50. | |
creatures were roaming the planet. creatures were roaming the planet. | :28:51. | :28:59. | |
Time for a look at the weather. The satellite picture reveals all. You | :29:00. | :29:18. | |
can see where the best of the sunshine is. It is mainly across | :29:19. | :29:20. | |
northern England and Wales. 23 Celsius in Northumberland. Cooler | :29:21. | :29:22. | |
than that where we have grey skies. I have the radar here, showing where | :29:23. | :29:25. | |
outbreaks of rain are. It is all associated with that cold front | :29:26. | :29:29. | |
which is pushing its way southwards across the country. As we head into | :29:30. | :29:34. | |
the afternoon, we will see plenty of sunny spells and clouds for England | :29:35. | :29:39. | |
and Wales. A few showers break out ahead of that rain bands. Sunshine | :29:40. | :29:45. | |
is moving in across northern Scotland. Much cooler and fresher | :29:46. | :29:51. | |
here as the rain band moves south. A wet afternoon for Northern Ireland, | :29:52. | :29:56. | |
central and southern Scotland. A few showers across northern England, | :29:57. | :29:59. | |
primarily the Pennines. The cloud may be thick produced a few showers. | :30:00. | :30:10. | |
In the sunshine, feeling warm, 20 Celsius. The winds will stay light. | :30:11. | :30:13. | |
This evening and overnight, the band of rain moved southwards and | :30:14. | :30:19. | |
fragments as it reaches northern England and into North Wales. Ahead | :30:20. | :30:23. | |
of it, it stays mild and cloudy. Behind it, much cooler and fresher. | :30:24. | :30:30. | |
Really chilly to start Saturday morning but it will be bright. A few | :30:31. | :30:34. | |
showers pushing into northern Scotland and some will be heavy. | :30:35. | :30:39. | |
Across England and Wales the rain will fizzle out to leave some good | :30:40. | :30:44. | |
spells of sunshine. Many places staying dry. A bit cooler across the | :30:45. | :30:50. | |
board. We could see 21 Celsius in the South East. I will show you the | :30:51. | :30:55. | |
pressure start for Sunday. It grazes past the North East corner of | :30:56. | :31:01. | |
Scotland. Windy conditions on Sunday in this north-east corner. A | :31:02. | :31:08. | |
good-looking day coming up, plenty of dry and fine weather after a | :31:09. | :31:12. | |
chilly start. Temperatures around 20 or 21 degrees. Good conditions for | :31:13. | :31:24. | |
the Great North Run. Next week, high-pressure dominate and it will | :31:25. | :31:27. | |
stay mainly dry. Variable amounts of cloud. It will be chilly, however. | :31:28. | :31:33. | |
Thank you very much. That is all from us. | :31:34. | :31:34. |
