as part of a re-organisation Good afternoon | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
and welcome to the BBC News at One. It is a blazingly hot September | :01:21. | :01:52. | |
day. Edinburgh slightly lost in the heat haze, a phrase you don't hear | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
often. With eight days to go before people go to the polls, and the | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
three main Westminster leaders are here to back the no vote. Opinion | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
polls are currently neck and neck and David Cameron says he will be | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
heartbroken if Scotland were to leave the United Kingdom. Alex | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
Salmond has responded saying that this is Team Westminster against | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
Team Scotland, and Westminster is Palace -- panicking. Political | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
careers may be on the line, but this is now about something much bigger, | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
a vote which could redefine Scotland and the UK. These campaigners for | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
independence say their country could soon control its own affairs, and | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
they are not impressed by flying visits from Westminster party | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
leaders. It is far too late. We still have no guarantees of what | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
they can give us, and you can see the excitement in the people. It is | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
too late for them. Or is it? Today several big firms in Scotland like | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
standard life and BB voiced concerns about independence, but Alex Salmond | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
was not impressed. -- BT. We are at the stage in Scotland where people | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
will look at scaremongering, shake their heads and wonder if these | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
people have nothing else to say but this negative doom mongering when | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
the people of Scotland are looking forward to a more prosperous and | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
fairer society, the ability to have a powerhouse parliament to create | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
jobs. The campaign about independence is now attracting very | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
significant media attention from all over the world. And today has seen a | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
bit of a battle for the attention of all of these journalists between the | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
yes campaign and their opponents. David Cameron's trip north was more | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
sedate. In a tightly controlled event, the Prime Minister addressed | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
Scottish Widows staff in the Edinburgh financial district, | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
insisting he has put party politics aside to urge Scotland to stay in | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
the UK. IK hugely about this extraordinary country, this United | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
Kingdom we have built together, and that is what I want to talk about | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
today -- ie care hugely. I would be heartbroken if this family of | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
nations we have put together and on such amazing things together, if his | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
family invasions was torn apart. His message was backed up by the former | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
Conservative Prime Minister John Major. This country is within a few | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
days perhaps splitting up a union that has existed for three times as | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
long as the longest person today. The impact of that on everyone in | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
the United Kingdom, not just Scotland, the impact on everyone in | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
the United Kingdom would be absolutely profound. And from | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
observing the debate that has gone on, I am not at all convinced that | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
people have not fully understood what all the applications of this | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
art. Very soon this country will make its choice, and one way or the | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
other, it will be a big, big decision. Not everyone is impressed | :04:47. | :04:56. | |
with the visit of the three Westminster leaders, asking after | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
the three Stooges and the three Amigos. Norman Smith has been with | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
David Cameron. What is David Cameron hoping to achieve from this, and the | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
other leaders, given that they are not entirely popular here in | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
Scotland? Gavin, what was striking was that David Cameron's speech this | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
lunch time was unlike any I have heard from him on Scottish | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
independence. There was scant reference to the issue of the | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
economy, the single currency on whether an independent Scotland | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
would be able to join the European Union. Instead, this was an attempt | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
to appeal to the emotional case for the union. It was an appeal to the | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
hearts rather than their heads, and the reason for that is because there | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
is an awareness on the no campaign side that they have been unable to | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
match the emotional appeal of the Nationalists, so today we had David | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
Cameron making a very direct and very personal and at times | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
passionate appeal to Scottish voters, saying he would be | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
heartbroken if the Scottish voted to go it alone. He went out of his way | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
to cite common heritage and history, defeating Hitler, defeating slavery, | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
building the NHS. And he acknowledge that he and the Conservatives were | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
unpopular in Scotland, but he said he cared more about this country | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
than he did about his party. What we had was an attempt to change the | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
tone of the no campaign in the hope that that might galvanise support | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
behind the union. Norman, thank you. Let's find out how this is going | :06:29. | :06:36. | |
with the yes campaign. Alex Salmond was campaigning in Portobello in | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
Edinburgh and James Cook was with him. How is Alex Salmond handling | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
the United front from the three leaders which divides them at | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Westminster even though they are united on this issue? It is funny | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
that Norman should use the word galvanise, because that is the word | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
Alex Salmond use but in a different context. He said, in fact, the visit | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
of the three party leaders north from Westminster to Scotland today | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
would galvanise support for Scotland becoming independent. And it has | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
been an exciting few days for the yes campaigners. They are buoyed by | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
the opinion polls showing how tight the race is. This does have the feel | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
of the last days of a very big, very serious, very important campaign. It | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
is frenetic, dramatic as well, and it may just be decisive for the | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
future of Scotland and the UK as well. These are very, very | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
interesting days. Indeed they are, James. Interesting in terms of the | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
politics and very interesting in terms of the economics and finance | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
which is so important, particularly in the city of Edinburgh. We have | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
heard rumblings on the stock market and Robert Preston joins me now. | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
What has been going on with Standard Life and BP? Standard Life have put | :07:52. | :08:04. | |
out a letter from their chief executive, broadly saying that the | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
interest of customers will be protected in the event of Scotland | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
voting per independence. Because some customers are getting a little | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
bit anxious about what will happen to the value of their savings if, | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
for example, Scotland didn't keep the British pound and adopted a | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
currency that was weaker, that could reduce the value of people's | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
savings. Tax rates in Scotland might be different, maybe higher from tax | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
rates in England and Wales and Northern Ireland, so what Standard | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
Life have said to their customers is that it is in the process of setting | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
up new companies in England, new, regulated companies, and were | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
Scotland to vote for independence the savings, the investment, the | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
pensions of customers outside of Scotland would be transferred to | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
those new English companies to protect their value to make sure | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
that they are subject to English tax regulation and therefore preserved | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
in value. I suppose the thing in Scotland is it does not say what it | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
would do for Scottish customers, it said it would keep the situation | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
under review. There might be the odd jitter in Scotland about all this. | :09:26. | :09:38. | |
Indeed, Robert, thanks very much. There are a lot of what ifs, and | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
here is Christian Fraser looking at that part of the story. | :09:43. | :09:50. | |
We have put together a timetable of the events ahead if Scotland | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
votes yes next week - or indeed should they vote no. | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
And you'll see that if it is a yes there are one or two | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
Let's start here with the vote itself. | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
Alex Salmond has confirmed he will reveal the identity | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
of his 'Team Scotland' negotiators within a week of the referendum. | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
Right now his preferred date for independence is here, 24th March | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
2016 - the anniversary of the Act of Union. | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
That would be two months before the Scottish elections. | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
It's a very tight deadline, and already there are questions | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
over whether that is realistic given the challenges ahead. | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
How will the UK's national debt be shared out? | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
If Scotland wants to borrow more money, who will act as guarantor? | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
Will it still be the Bank of England? | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
Or will it have to use the Euro if if joins the EU? | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
What will happen to the RAF, to the Navy, to the UK's Trident nuclear | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
Well, yes, it does, but Alex Salmond will be in a hurry. | :10:49. | :10:58. | |
Imagine for a moment the SNP were not returned to government | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
in the elections in 2016, and the negotiations were still ongoing. | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
A different Scottish government, perhaps Labour, might want very | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
Can it be David Cameron's Government given that in eight months' time | :11:07. | :11:16. | |
And what about those Westminster elections set for 7th May 2015? | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
Currently there are 650 constituencies - | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
If those constituencies did take part, their MPs would be ejected | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
in 2016 once Scotland gains its independence, | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
Some would be calling for David Cameron to postpone | :11:34. | :11:47. | |
it for 12 months but of course he would face a huge fight with Labour. | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
And now we will put up a timeline for the No vote on September 18th. | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
Much less complicated of course, but still some fundamental questions | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
and some sizable concerns ahead for the UK. | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
We know the three main parties at Westminster are committed to | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
more devolution, particularly in areas of tax and welfare. | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
It seems then, a white paper would be put forward | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
Draft legislation appearing here, somewhere near the end of January. | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
And they would hope to vote through those changes before the end of this | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
Can such huge constitutional changes be agreed and refined in six months? | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
Some say, no, they can't, and to finish let's ponder the last | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
date, all the way down here at the end - whether it's a yes or | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
a no - the Conservative's proposed referendum in 2017 on the EU. | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
If next week Scotland votes to stay in the UK - but down the line the UK | :12:38. | :12:46. | |
votes to leave the EU - the pro-Europe movement in Scotland | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
is saying that would be grounds for another referendum on Scottish | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
If Scotland votes yes next week, depriving Labour of its | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
Scottish MPs, then the entire political system in the rest of the | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
And in that scenario we could have the UK opting to pull out of the EU | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
A lot ahead whether they vote yes or no. We will have updates throughout | :13:06. | :13:25. | |
the day on the BBC News Channel and we will be pursuing the theme of | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
what if? If you've got questions you | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
want answered, you can text The American Secretary of | :13:30. | :13:31. | |

to announce plans to widen American attacks on Islamic State, | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
which recently beheaded two Our correspondent Quentin | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
Sommerville reports from Baghdad. Back in Iraq and ready to take on | :13:55. | :14:10. | |
the Islamic State. The US Secretary of State is drumming up Arab support | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
for a counteroffensive. Iraq has been asking for help since last year | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
but the government was divided and the country split on ethnic and | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
sectarian lines. Secretary Kerry met the new Prime Minister who promised | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
greater unity. That needs a precondition for American support. | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
The Islamic State last year took over the Lodz in Iraq, and their | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
control spread across the Syrian border, and then those all fell, a | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
self-declared Islamic State created across Iraq and Syria -- Mosul fell. | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
The Iraqi politicians warned that the war would spread here, and | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
sectarian divisions widened in Iraq and Islamic State moved in to | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
exploit the gap. Healing the divisions will take a long time, | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
even with US support a fight to take back Iraq from Islamic State would | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
be a long one. In the north-east, the Iraqi Kurdish forces have | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
struggled with outdated weaponry and limited supplies in their fight | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
against Islamic State. Britain has given more than half ?1 million in | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
aid to buy new guns and more ammunition. US air strikes are | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
already making a difference here will stop on the ground, they are | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
helping Iraq and Kurdish forces win back territory from the Islamic | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
State, and a broadening of the air campaign is expected. It's very | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
useful, and we are very thankful for everything that the US is doing so | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
far. But I don't think it's enough. We believe that the strikes should | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
target the nerve centre and the leadership of Islamic State, where | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
ever they may be, even in Syria. The details of how much bought these | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
Kurdish and Iraqi troops will receive in their fight will come | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
with President Obama's beach later today. But Iraq's support will be | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
vital -- President Obama's speech. If they can afford internal | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
confusion, fightback can begin in this will stop -- in earnest bots | :16:04. | :16:14. | |
The education watchdog Ofsted is warning that too many courses | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
for school leavers in England are not up to scratch - and that's | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
stopping teenagers finding work or going on to university. | :16:21. | :16:22. | |
The school leaving age rises to 18 from next year. | :16:23. | :16:24. | |
Ofsted argues that could delay an "inevitable fall" for young | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
people becoming NEET - "not in education, employment or training". | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
Our education correspondent Alex Forsyth reports. | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
These college students are firmly focused on their future, learning | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
skills they hope will lead to work. Since September, pupils aged 16 and | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
older, should be offered tailored courses to help them get the jobs | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
they want. I want to be a doctor so medical science will help me in the | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
future. I am thinking of working with old people or children and head | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
lamps -- health and social care is all about that. This college in | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
London focuses on vocational qualifications. Today, the education | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
watchdog Ofsted said too many courses are failing to do that so | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
children are leaving without the skills they need to do a job. The | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
numbers of young people not in education, training or work has | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
fallen to 1.2 million. From next year teenagers will have to stay in | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
education until they are 18. Ofsted says unless careers advice or | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
courses are good, it will not help them in the long-term. We are being | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
told that young people do not have the English or mathematics skills to | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
be in work. They also tell us they have not had the work experience | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
they need. This college does focus on those skills and says the | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
government must ensure there is funding. The further education | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
sector has done fantastic work in developing our young people. | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
Government policy into the future has to make sure it invests | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
appropriately into the long-term future of our students. The | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
government says more older teenagers are taking English and maths and it | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
has changed college funding to focus on hype quality courses which | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
employers value. David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick | :18:19. | :18:23. | |

Nikki Fox is there for is now. Hello, I am outside the velodrome | :19:24. | :19:39. | |
and we have been here since very early this morning. It is quiet now | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
but it got very busy around eight o'clock and nine o'clock with a lot | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
of competitors training on their hand bikes in preparation for the | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
games starting tomorrow. I spent the morning finding out from the | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
athletes what the games really mean to them. | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
This morning at the velodrome, members of the 100 strong British | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
Armed Forces teamwork training hard. Among the team is Josh who lost both | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
his legs and right arm when he stood on an IED in Afghanistan back in | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
2010. I would not say at any point I felt down on myself. The minute you | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
accept this happened, you can move on. What gave you this attitude? | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
When you are in the army you are always put in situations where you | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
are tested. The driving force for the games came from Prince Harry. He | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
got the idea after seeing a similar competition in America. He saw what | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
a positive affect the games had on rehabilitating injured servicemen | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
and women. The banter, the camaraderie. Whatever country you | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
are from, you get peoples sharing their stories. For me it is very | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
special to sit back and watch it. 1400 athletes from 13 different | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
nations will compete in nine adapted sports. It is not just about the | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
competition. The Invictus Games gives those affected by conflict a | :21:11. | :21:24. | |
new focus. When you find it again, you get something physical which you | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
can be engaged in, it starts to heal you mentally as well as physically. | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
The process of recovery for many has begun. The games are not only a | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
celebration, they are also a chance for some people to come to terms | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
with their new disability. When you get injured, it is not the end. As | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
long as you have life, you have hoped. That is why we have Invictus | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
Games, to let the public know, to let the people know that our lives | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
have begun and all we ask for is your continued support and | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
assistance to help us live our new lives now. Prince Harry hopes the | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
Invictus Games will continue for as long as they are needed, and the | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
inaugural event here in London will be a success. | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
So Prince Harry threw a surprise party last night for the | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
competitors. We also have the opening ceremony which is coming | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
live on the BBC tonight. And then there is the four-day sporting | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
action which kicks off tomorrow and the closing ceremony on Sunday. Many | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
thanks indeed, thank you. The new | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has announced | :22:46. | :22:46. | |
his team of EU commissioners. He's given an important financial | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
portfolio to the British In a moment we'll get reaction | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
from Westminster but first our Europe correspondent | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
Chris Morris is in Brussels. Chris, how significant you think | :22:55. | :23:15. | |
this announcement is? I think it is an important sign that the EU is | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
prepared to give a top financial post to an official from a country | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
outside the euro zone. That has always been a big concern. Mr | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
Junker, said he always intended to give Lord Hill a major portfolio, in | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
part because he wanted to avoid any impression that he held a grudge | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
against David Cameron's very open opposition to his appointment. He | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
said he wanted Britain to remain a construct constructive at live | :23:49. | :23:57. | |
member of the European Union. What is the reaction in Westminster? I | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
must say, expectations around here were pretty low. Lord Hill was not a | :24:04. | :24:12. | |
prominent name around here, even less so in Brussels. In the run-up | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
to this, it David Cameron had a bust up with Jean-Claude Juncker as the | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
tried to stop him getting the job of European Commission president. | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
Britain now has this important economic portfolio which is snapped | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
bank in the middle of where Britain's economic interest is, | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
financial services. The symbolism of this is a clear. It enables David | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
Cameron to say to his sceptical backbenchers, the renegotiation that | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
I have promised, that I can put to a referendum in 2017, I can deliver | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
and Europe will help. Thank you very much indeed. | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
Families caring for people with dementia are paying | :24:59. | :25:00. | |
a so-called "care tax" according the Alzheimer's Society. | :25:01. | :25:02. | |
New research says most care is provided - unpaid - | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
The Alzheimer's Society say it can cost the equivalent | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
Our health correspondent Adam Brimelow reports. | :25:09. | :25:17. | |
Dementia imposes a cruel human cost. This research reveals the financial | :25:18. | :25:25. | |
burden, much of it falling on those who need support and the family and | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
friends who often provided. It is a burden campaigners say is unfair and | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
unsustainable. Researchers say the number of people with dementia is | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
rising in line with the ageing population and will reach 850,000 | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
next year. The overall cost they say has reached more than ?26 billion, | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
two thirds of it met by family and friends and charges for social care. | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
They say it is much more than people with cancer and heart disease. The | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
difference between dementia and cancer is a much higher proportion | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
of the cost is borne by the individual. Cancer patients do not | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
pay for their NHS care. They would not have much in social care needs. | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
People with dementia have to pay for it themselves. The Health Secretary | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
for England says the government has responded to unfair care costs. For | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
example, by capping the amount people have to pay. He says he has | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
also doubled funding for research and focus on dementia is greater | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
than ever before. Scientists have discovered | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
a hidden complex of archaeological monuments at Stonehenge, which | :26:40. | :26:41. | |
challenges the long-held view that New evidence suggests that in fact | :26:42. | :26:43. | |
Stonehenge was originally part of a huge network of religious shrines, | :26:44. | :26:50. | |
including a mile-wide "super henge". Think you know it? Well, think | :26:51. | :27:06. | |
again. The history of this iconic landscape with Stonehenge at its | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
centre, has now been rewritten. These are clearly man-made, they are | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
not natural. From the remains of pristine circular henge is, two | :27:19. | :27:25. | |
giant hit channels and monuments, 17 new structures that nobody knew | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
existed have been found. This wouldn't long barrow is among the | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
most spectacular, a burial site previously hidden to history. It is | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
extraordinary to think there have been so many investigations of this | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
landscape and the land we are standing on now and nobody before | :27:46. | :27:50. | |
has previously suspected all this. Ten square kilometres was mapped | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
around Stonehenge using radar which looks into the ground, to chart the | :27:55. | :27:59. | |
evolution of ever more spectacular monuments dating from 10,000 years | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
ago. Even here at the well-known, well researched Arrington Walls site | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
near Stonehenge, they found something new. Beneath my feet, the | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
radar discovered 60 holes two metres wide, all part of a new unknown | :28:15. | :28:19. | |
structure they are calling the super henge -- Dorrington walls. We have a | :28:20. | :28:29. | |
complete feature... It all shows Stonehenge is not alone and never | :28:30. | :28:36. | |
was. New monuments from changing societies who became more organised. | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
This is the place memories and traditions started in Britain, where | :28:41. | :28:45. | |
human beings began collective endeavours and cultural ambition, | :28:46. | :28:49. | |
all leading up to the most spectacular creation of all, its | :28:50. | :28:54. | |
origins once hidden, it secrets now seen. | :28:55. | :28:59. | |
Time for a look at the weather. Here's Louise Lear. | :29:00. | :29:06. | |
Hello. This is a photograph of a very atmospheric misty start in | :29:07. | :29:23. | |
Kettering. And this is new key. I know this shot very well. Hardly a | :29:24. | :29:32. | |
cloud in the sky for many of us. A little bit of fair weather cloud | :29:33. | :29:36. | |
starting to develop. I suspect that will become more of a story into the | :29:37. | :29:42. | |
afternoon. There is a good deal of dry weather into the forecast. A | :29:43. | :29:47. | |
good afternoon in prospect for western and central Scotland. | :29:48. | :29:51. | |
Temperatures will respond. After a chilly start in Northern Ireland, | :29:52. | :29:55. | |
into the high teens with some sunshine coming through. To the west | :29:56. | :30:03. | |
of the Pennines and across the South West and Wales, we could get up to | :30:04. | :30:09. | |
22 degrees. If you are heading off to the Invictus Games, it looks like | :30:10. | :30:13. | |
perfect weather conditions for the opening ceremony this evening. | :30:14. | :30:19. | |
Cloudy bit dry. More of a breeze develops through this evening and | :30:20. | :30:22. | |
overnight into the south-east corner. That will keep more cloud | :30:23. | :30:28. | |
here, I suspect. A little bit of mist and shallow fog forming. In | :30:29. | :30:33. | |
rural parts we could see low single figures. Thursday will start off | :30:34. | :30:43. | |
again on a cloudy and briefly note across the south-east corner. It | :30:44. | :30:49. | |
will make it feel a bit fresher. Maybe the odd spot of rain. The best | :30:50. | :30:55. | |
of the sunshine further west. I suspect for Thursday, more cloud | :30:56. | :30:59. | |
than we have seen in recent days. Though is an area of low pressure. | :31:00. | :31:07. | |
It just love into Scandinavia but it will influence our weather for some | :31:08. | :31:13. | |
time. -- it drifts off into Scandinavia. We could pick up some | :31:14. | :31:20. | |
dry air in the south-east corner. Temperatures above average for the | :31:21. | :31:26. | |
time of year. The outlook, it stays predominantly dry. There will be | :31:27. | :31:30. | |
some sunshine around but from time to time, a little more cloud than we | :31:31. | :31:34. | |
have seen in recent days. Thank you. A reminder of our top | :31:35. | :31:40. | |
story this lunch time: The leaders of all three main Westminster | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
parties travelled to Scotland to campaign for a no vote in the | :31:44. | :31:46. | |
referendum. The SNP leader Alex Salmond | :31:47. | :31:48. |
