:01:46. > :01:48.and welcome to the BBC News at One. The Prime Minister has set out

:01:49. > :01:51.his demands for change in the UK's relationship with the European Union

:01:52. > :01:54.ahead of the referendum on Britain's David Cameron says he'll only

:01:55. > :01:58.campaign to remain in the EU They include restricting benefits

:01:59. > :02:04.for EU migrants living in the UK. The European Commission says some

:02:05. > :02:07.of the issues he's raised are From Westminster,

:02:08. > :02:23.Chris Mason reports. With this letter to the European

:02:24. > :02:28.Union today, the UK's renegotiation of its relationship with CEU really

:02:29. > :02:33.cranks up. David Cameron said the referendum would be the biggest vote

:02:34. > :02:39.of our lifetimes. He said he wanted us to stay in if four things change.

:02:40. > :02:44.Firstly... We've propose that people coming to Britain from the EU are to

:02:45. > :02:48.live here and contribute for four years before they qualify for in

:02:49. > :02:51.work benefits or social housing. And I understand how difficult some of

:02:52. > :02:54.these welfare issues are four other member states, and I am open to

:02:55. > :02:57.different ways of dealing with this issue.

:02:58. > :03:01.Cutting the benefits migrants can get could prove crucial in changing

:03:02. > :03:07.people's minds on whether we should stay in the EU, but did you notice

:03:08. > :03:11.the wiggle room that the Prime Minister left himself? This will be

:03:12. > :03:14.one to watch as the negotiations gather pace. Let's take a quick look

:03:15. > :03:20.at the three other things David Cameron said he wanted to achieve.

:03:21. > :03:24.If the European Union were to involve -- were to evolve into a

:03:25. > :03:28.single currency club, where those outside the single currency are

:03:29. > :03:33.pushed aside and overruled, it would no longer be the club for us.

:03:34. > :03:36.The commitment in the treaty to an ever closer union is not a

:03:37. > :03:41.commitment that should apply any longer to Britain. But there is much

:03:42. > :03:46.more that we can do. For all that we have achieved in

:03:47. > :03:49.stemming the flow of new regulations, the burden from

:03:50. > :03:54.existing regulation is too high. What is the reaction from those on

:03:55. > :03:58.both sides of the debate? This is not a set stature renegotiation, he

:03:59. > :04:05.is not asking for anything other than a change to migrants benefit,

:04:06. > :04:09.on which today he has conceded he is prepared to compromise.

:04:10. > :04:11.Undoubtedly the four year ban on in work benefits for EU migrants

:04:12. > :04:16.claiming benefits will be the most challenging proposal. We know that a

:04:17. > :04:22.number of member states have some sympathy but Germany, on the other

:04:23. > :04:25.hand, would have problems out. Statement, the Minister of State for

:04:26. > :04:30.Europe. Now the debate truly begins. In the

:04:31. > :04:33.end, stay in or leave, it is your call.

:04:34. > :04:36.In a moment we'll speak to Norman Smith in Westminster, but

:04:37. > :04:42.first our political correspondent Alex Forsyth is in Brussels.

:04:43. > :04:45.Restricting benefits for EU migrants already seems to be shaping up

:04:46. > :04:52.as one of the big problems the EU will have with his demands.

:04:53. > :04:58.Sophie, the European Commission has already said it is highly

:04:59. > :05:01.problematic. The president of the European Parliament says he has

:05:02. > :05:05.serious doubts over the legality. The concern as it could be

:05:06. > :05:08.discriminatory, a worker from Poland, the Czech Republic or

:05:09. > :05:12.Hungary doing the same job as a UK citizen could get paid worse... Less

:05:13. > :05:17.because they will not be eligible for benefits. That is shaping up to

:05:18. > :05:21.be one of the most difficult areas for Cameron to shape reforms. The

:05:22. > :05:24.idea of making the EU more competitive might be more

:05:25. > :05:27.acceptable. Talks of how to implement some of these things and

:05:28. > :05:32.Brad does have been going on in Brussels for a number of months, but

:05:33. > :05:36.negotiations between member states could start in earnest now, and we

:05:37. > :05:40.will see what is and is not acceptable. There is an awareness

:05:41. > :05:44.that David Cameron needs to be seen to win some concessions so his

:05:45. > :05:48.reforms look substantial. There is a willingness among EU leaders to do a

:05:49. > :05:53.deal because most one UK to stay in the EU. But they won't roll over or

:05:54. > :05:57.do anything which undermines the fundamental principles of the

:05:58. > :06:03.European Union. The only real consensus that the that the process

:06:04. > :06:06.will not be easy. Norman, despite what the European

:06:07. > :06:11.Commission has said today, David Cameron does not think this is

:06:12. > :06:14.mission impossible? Much of it is not. Cameron could probably get

:06:15. > :06:20.agreement on three quarters of this, or protection for non-EU countries,

:06:21. > :06:24.a more competitive Europe and more powers for Parliament, over a couple

:06:25. > :06:29.of leisurely lunches in Brussels. Crunch time is to ban number four,

:06:30. > :06:35.benefit curbs on EU migrants. It is crunch time because most voters are

:06:36. > :06:38.not fussed about ever closer union, they are fussed about immigration

:06:39. > :06:44.and benefits. They have to get a deal on a -- he has to get a deal.

:06:45. > :06:47.His plans could hit the buffers on this issue. Many Eurocrats regard

:06:48. > :06:55.this as a non-negotiable issue of principle. But many Tory MPs this is

:06:56. > :06:59.a fairly thin package already. If he gave on benefits he would have real

:07:00. > :07:06.trouble on his own backbenchers. Not mission impossible but maybe mission

:07:07. > :07:10.incredible, because he has to satisfy anxious posters, distrustful

:07:11. > :07:14.Eurocrats and his own party all at once. Thank you, Norman and Alex.

:07:15. > :07:16.The World Anti-Doping Agency has suspended Russia's drug-testing

:07:17. > :07:18.laboratory in Moscow as one of sport's biggest scandals deepens.

:07:19. > :07:21.But the Kremlin has said allegations of doping against Russian athletics

:07:22. > :07:23.Our sports correspondent Richard Conway reports on the

:07:24. > :07:34.pressure on Lord Coe - the man now tasked with saving world athletics.

:07:35. > :07:43.He described it as his dream job. But with athletics embroiled in an

:07:44. > :07:48.unprecedented crisis, Lord Coe's presidency of its governing body is

:07:49. > :07:50.at risk of becoming a nightmare. With an independent commission

:07:51. > :07:55.recommending Russian athletes be barred from competing, there is

:07:56. > :08:00.mounting pressure on the IAAF to act. A decision of the sanctions

:08:01. > :08:03.will be taken on Friday, but wider questions are already being raised

:08:04. > :08:10.about whether the organisation needs to change. We have to now look

:08:11. > :08:13.forwards. For me, that is about suspending the Russian athletics

:08:14. > :08:19.Federation until they prove that house is in order, and for Seb Coe

:08:20. > :08:23.as the new leader of local FedEx, -- global athletics, he needs to hire

:08:24. > :08:27.business leaders to transform the organisation. It needs to be led by

:08:28. > :08:31.better and stronger people. From the track to the boardroom,

:08:32. > :08:36.everything Lord Coe has touched on his long career has turned to gold.

:08:37. > :08:40.After retiring as an athlete he was up the centre of delivering the

:08:41. > :08:44.London 2012 Olympic Games. Now after being elected as the head of world

:08:45. > :08:50.athletics in August, he faces his sternest task to date if he is to

:08:51. > :08:54.rescue his board. Pressure is a big global superpower. Not only in terms

:08:55. > :08:58.of athletics but also politically. People are wondering if you are

:08:59. > :09:03.tough enough to stand up to the Russians? I am tough enough to

:09:04. > :09:06.defend my sport. This is not just limited to athletics and almost

:09:07. > :09:10.certainly not just limited to Russia. Brasher has long been a

:09:11. > :09:14.sporting superpower, but it has radically stepped up its investment

:09:15. > :09:22.in hosting major events in recent years. -- Russia has long been. It

:09:23. > :09:27.spent and I were to ring ?33.7 billion to host the Winter Olympics

:09:28. > :09:32.in 2014. A range of sports including swimming and athletics have

:09:33. > :09:38.benefited from Russian largess. In 2018 it will host the Fifa World

:09:39. > :09:43.Cup, a decision mired in controversy and under investigation.

:09:44. > :09:47.And Lord Coe have urged Russia to voluntarily suspend its athletes.

:09:48. > :09:52.But with the Kremlin saying that the allegations are groundless, a

:09:53. > :09:55.showdown seems inevitable. Russian anti-doping authorities have

:09:56. > :09:59.defended their position, but a Moscow laboratory used to test

:10:00. > :10:03.samples has stopped operating. With this board undergoing intense

:10:04. > :10:08.speculation, former athletes believe that the blame should be shared.

:10:09. > :10:13.People making decisions around this are often well-meaning, sometimes,

:10:14. > :10:16.it doesn't matter if it is a local, national or international

:10:17. > :10:20.federation, we have to have better people in there. Maybe we should all

:10:21. > :10:24.hold our hands up, we have about them pretty useless people to be

:10:25. > :10:30.ringing -- running sport on a world level. With the legacy of London

:10:31. > :10:35.2012 Olympics being labelled a sabotaged, the past four athletics

:10:36. > :10:38.is under question, and its future is uncertain. Its new leadership must

:10:39. > :10:38.fight to prevent the dying of the light.

:10:39. > :10:48.Banning Russia would be a huge decision but it is one they will

:10:49. > :10:53.have to may quickly? Lord Coe says he wants answers from the Russian

:10:54. > :10:59.authorities over the next 24 248 hours, a decision by the IAAF board

:11:00. > :11:04.come on Friday this week, so very soon. Intense pressure to accept the

:11:05. > :11:09.recommendation to suspend Russia from athletics competitions,

:11:10. > :11:13.including the Olympics. Let's not discount Russia's role in world

:11:14. > :11:17.sport and their influence. It was the first person to call the IOC

:11:18. > :11:22.president when he was elected a couple of years ago? Vladimir Putin.

:11:23. > :11:27.This shows how sport has been placed at the centre of Russian national

:11:28. > :11:30.strategy. They have welcomed sport into their country. These same

:11:31. > :11:32.sports will have to decide if they now banned them and suspend them

:11:33. > :11:34.from competition. Thank you. Police investigating the killings

:11:35. > :11:36.of 13 people when soldiers opened fire on protestors on Bloody Sunday

:11:37. > :11:38.in Londonderry in 1972 have arrested a former

:11:39. > :11:41.member of the Parachute Regiment. The investigation began

:11:42. > :11:42.three years ago. Our Ireland correspondent

:11:43. > :11:46.Chris Buckler is in Londonderry. This is

:11:47. > :11:58.the first person to be arrested It is, indeed. Luddy Sunday, of

:11:59. > :12:05.course, a notorious day that cannot be forgotten here in the box side of

:12:06. > :12:08.Derry -- Bloody Sunday. There are murals of some of the notorious

:12:09. > :12:13.images of what happened on bloody Sunday. It has been five years since

:12:14. > :12:16.the ward which concluded that members of the Parachute Regiment

:12:17. > :12:21.fired on a crowded civil rights protesters, they fired the first

:12:22. > :12:24.shot and without warning, and they fired at some people who were

:12:25. > :12:29.fleeing or trying to help the dead injured. That led to a formal

:12:30. > :12:34.apology from the Prime Minister in the House of Commons. There has been

:12:35. > :12:38.this investigation that you mentioned run by a specialist unit

:12:39. > :12:42.within the Police Service of Northern Ireland, known as the

:12:43. > :12:46.Legacy Investigations Brands. The Ministry of Defence said in a

:12:47. > :12:50.statement today that a former member of the Parachute Regiment had been

:12:51. > :12:54.arrested. He is 66 and was detained in County Antrim. The Police Service

:12:55. > :12:58.of Northern Ireland's statement said the arrest marked a new phase in

:12:59. > :13:01.their investigation and one that will continue for some time. That is

:13:02. > :13:04.an indication that there could be more arrests.

:13:05. > :13:05.The Foreign Secretary says all the British holiday-makers still

:13:06. > :13:08.stranded in Sharm el-Sheikh should be home by the weekend.

:13:09. > :13:10.Flights to and from the UK were grounded six days

:13:11. > :13:13.ago amid concerns that a Russian plane was brought down by a bomb.

:13:14. > :13:16.Nearly three million Egyptians rely on the tourist industry for work.

:13:17. > :13:18.Now there are fears for their future.

:13:19. > :13:22.Mark Lowen reports from Sharm el-Sheikh.

:13:23. > :13:24.A Red Sea picture of perfection, Sharm el-Sheikh is Egypt's tourism

:13:25. > :13:30.This is the image Egypt wants to present, it's been tainted

:13:31. > :13:35.by emergency flights out and a possible airline attack.

:13:36. > :13:40.Holiday-makers have been driven away, the pleasure boats left empty.

:13:41. > :13:43.This man runs a beach club and boat business.

:13:44. > :13:47.His livelihood depends on tourism, and he's worried.

:13:48. > :13:50.If this continues for more than two months, we have to reduce

:13:51. > :14:00.Sharm el-Sheikh is built entirely on tourism, an industry that is

:14:01. > :14:03.crucial for Egypt as a whole - making up 12% of the economy last

:14:04. > :14:10.National pride here was hurt when flights were grounded

:14:11. > :14:14.and accusations made of lax security, but oi tourists are

:14:15. > :14:19.to return here, they'll need to be reassured it's safe.

:14:20. > :14:25.At the nearby beach, they are struggling to stem

:14:26. > :14:28.It should be packed with those seeking some winter sun,

:14:29. > :14:33.Thousands of British and Russian tourists on their way out

:14:34. > :14:37.Looking round now, there's a lot of empty shops,

:14:38. > :14:44.Obviously, if the British don't come back here,

:14:45. > :14:49.It's a good decision to stop all flights from Russia to Egypt.

:14:50. > :14:55.I think safety of passengers is first.

:14:56. > :14:58.But Egypt has weathered plenty of storms before,

:14:59. > :15:02.and the beach club owner is confident it will bounce back.

:15:03. > :15:08.We've been through this many times before during Gulf War, and we've

:15:09. > :15:24.But fear that a bomber may have accessed this resort could cast

:15:25. > :15:31.Mark Lowen, BBC News, Sharm el-Sheikh.

:15:32. > :15:37.The Prime Minister sets out his demands for a reformed European

:15:38. > :15:39.Union, including restricting benefits for EU migrants in the UK.

:15:40. > :15:47.In the pink - could this become one of the world's

:15:48. > :15:52.most expensive diamonds when it's auctioned today?

:15:53. > :15:59.Later, on BBC London, the police appeal for information about a

:16:00. > :16:06.machete wielding gang responsible for ?500,000 worth of robberies.

:16:07. > :16:10.How do you solve Europe's migration crisis?

:16:11. > :16:13.Tomorrow, leaders from the European Union and from Africa will meet

:16:14. > :16:18.The majority of those travelling to Europe are

:16:19. > :16:21.from Syria, but the second largest group of migrants trying to reach

:16:22. > :16:27.One in ten are from the state of Eritrea.

:16:28. > :16:30.It's difficult to get accurate figures, but the UN estimates

:16:31. > :16:33.around 4000 people leave the country in the Horn of Africa every month.

:16:34. > :16:37.But Eritrea is not a country at war, so why are so many people

:16:38. > :16:45.Clive Myrie has been to a refugee camp to find out.

:16:46. > :16:48.The camp here has been open for about six years

:16:49. > :16:51.in northern Ethiopia, and the vast territory of the 7000-8000 people

:16:52. > :16:54.who are here are from Eritrea, which is just over that ridgeline over

:16:55. > :17:00.And the people here are well looked after, there is even

:17:01. > :17:03.a man repairing clothes if anyone needs that facility here,

:17:04. > :17:14.To my right over here is the block where they bake bread.

:17:15. > :17:17.So everyone is well catered for as far as food and water is concerned.

:17:18. > :17:20.And remember, Eritrea is a dictatorship, it's a country that

:17:21. > :17:23.has been under the rule of one man for the last 25 years.

:17:24. > :17:27.He doesn't believe in the rule of law and he has not enacted a

:17:28. > :17:28.democratic constitution, there is no freedom

:17:29. > :17:31.of speech and crucially there is also forced conscription.

:17:32. > :17:36.All boys and girls, once they leave school, have to join the military.

:17:37. > :17:39.It's essentially forced labour and it's open-ended service as well,

:17:40. > :17:45.If we show you what is inside here, this is actually a sweet shop.

:17:46. > :17:49.A lot of the refugees that cross the border from Eritrea here into

:17:50. > :17:54.And they are sent here by their parents because they want

:17:55. > :18:03.The parents don't want them to grow up in a dictatorship, where

:18:04. > :18:05.they more than likely will have to serve

:18:06. > :18:12.As you can see around here, the dwellings that the refugees are

:18:13. > :18:15.living in are well-built, they are breeze blocks, well cemented in.

:18:16. > :18:19.In fact, let's have a look inside this one.

:18:20. > :18:21.They are expecting us, I'm not just intruding.

:18:22. > :18:36.I'm just going to show our viewers what it's like in here.

:18:37. > :18:38.There are seven girls in this particular block,

:18:39. > :18:41.They've got their posters up and cooking facilities, all their

:18:42. > :18:45.They might look like pretty basic facilities, but

:18:46. > :18:48.much better, they would argue, than having to live in the dictatorship

:18:49. > :18:57.It is a temporary situation that people are living in here because

:18:58. > :19:02.many of them want to move on, they want to go west to Sudan, further

:19:03. > :19:05.north to Egypt, and many want to cross the Mediterranean, make that

:19:06. > :19:07.very difficult journey and head towards the European Union.

:19:08. > :19:10.In fact it's only Syria that has produced more refugees trying to

:19:11. > :19:13.cross the Mediterranean over the last few years than Eritrea.

:19:14. > :19:16.So we are talking thousands of people from this part of Africa

:19:17. > :19:21.trying to get into the European Union.

:19:22. > :19:23.And it's that migration crisis and the situation here in East

:19:24. > :19:27.Africa that is going to be high on the agenda when African leaders and

:19:28. > :19:30.European Union leaders meet for that crucial summit in Malta this week.

:19:31. > :19:32.Well, many of the refugees seeking a new life

:19:33. > :19:38.The authorities there say they have taken in more than three quarters of

:19:39. > :19:48.The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has said Germany will change

:19:49. > :19:52.Our Berlin correspondent Jenny Hill has been to the town of Oberhausen

:19:53. > :19:55.to find out what impact it's already having.

:19:56. > :20:01.The region has taken more refugees than any other part of the country.

:20:02. > :20:04.In the town of Oberhausen alone, 2500 people are waiting and hoping

:20:05. > :20:18.In the converted school which is now his home, we met this man.

:20:19. > :20:21.I am just, you know, dreaming that in Syria

:20:22. > :20:25.the war will end and I go back to my country and build it again.

:20:26. > :20:29.This was once Germany's industrial heartland.

:20:30. > :20:36.There is unemployment, there is deprivation

:20:37. > :20:43.We don't really know what change they will bring.

:20:44. > :20:58.There is a lot of fear among people who are already disadvantaged.

:20:59. > :21:02.Support for Angela Merkel's refugee policy is waning.

:21:03. > :21:04.In some respects, Oberhausen typifies the German

:21:05. > :21:11.Broadly speaking, people want to help, but they are concerned

:21:12. > :21:13.about this country's ability to cope with such high numbers.

:21:14. > :21:18.These are the people Angela Merkel must convince,

:21:19. > :21:37.These days Oberhausen's schools have an extra classroom.

:21:38. > :21:43.It's not just about teaching them to read and write, they come from very

:21:44. > :21:49.They must also learn about our country and our customs.

:21:50. > :22:07.Speaking of which, this is also football country.

:22:08. > :22:08.And five-a-side as a regular fixture.

:22:09. > :22:10.There are a lot of refugees in Oberhausen.

:22:11. > :22:15.There is a welcome culture which we lacked in the 90s when we

:22:16. > :22:19.But nearly 800,000 people have sought asylum

:22:20. > :22:26.And here in Oberhausen, they wonder, how many more are on their way?

:22:27. > :22:36.An inquiry has begun into the use of a controversial anti-malarial drug

:22:37. > :22:42.A committee of MPs is looking into the use of Mefloquine, also

:22:43. > :22:45.known as Lariam, which can cause severe side effects including

:22:46. > :22:50.The wife of a British General who's in a mental health hospital has

:22:51. > :22:52.accused the Government of ignoring medical evidence about the drug.

:22:53. > :23:08.Alan Duncan says her husband is no longer the man he once was. He used

:23:09. > :23:09.to be an army officer but now he is in a psychiatric unit battling

:23:10. > :23:15.severe post-traumatic stress disorder. She says the antimalarial

:23:16. > :23:19.drug Lariam, that he took more than a decade ago while serving in Sierra

:23:20. > :23:27.Leone, has made him worse. Yellow he is a shadow of himself. Right now he

:23:28. > :23:34.is sleepy and distressed. He is unable really to function... He can

:23:35. > :23:39.function intermittently and then he begins to ramble again. It's awful.

:23:40. > :23:43.Medical experts they it is impossible to be sure that Lariam

:23:44. > :23:47.has affected him in this way, but they say his symptoms are consistent

:23:48. > :23:51.with the drug's known side-effects. The drug is given to soldiers

:23:52. > :23:54.serving overseas but in recent months a growing number of military

:23:55. > :23:59.personnel have been complaining about it, saying it has made them

:24:00. > :24:03.depressed and anxious. There are calls for the Government to stop

:24:04. > :24:09.prescribing it. The Ministry of Defence says all its medical advice

:24:10. > :24:15.is based around guidelines set out by Public Health England. It says

:24:16. > :24:20.Lariam is not the first choice for personnel and that it is only ever

:24:21. > :24:24.prescribed after an -- and individual risk assessment. Today a

:24:25. > :24:30.group of MPs have begun an inquiry into the drug. Appearing before them

:24:31. > :24:33.first worthy Manufacturers. The benefit risk ratio, the balance of

:24:34. > :24:41.risk to the balance of benefit and taking the drug, is still believed

:24:42. > :24:45.to be viable and important in this global endemic, if it is prescribed

:24:46. > :24:49.to the right people. So that would apply globally as well. That is why

:24:50. > :24:53.the information has been added in and the drug is still believed to

:24:54. > :25:00.have an advantageous position. The inquiry will also hear from military

:25:01. > :25:02.medical experts, as well as former personnel who claim to have suffered

:25:03. > :25:14.side-effects after taking the drug. One of the greatest jockeys

:25:15. > :25:16.of all time, Pat Eddery, He was crowned flat racing champion

:25:17. > :25:20.jockey 11 times among his most famous victories were

:25:21. > :25:22.the King George VI and Fellow jockey AP McCoy paid tribute

:25:23. > :25:33.to him today, calling him The 1986 The Reader like the tree,

:25:34. > :25:41.Europe's most Christian just horse race, won by one of horse racing's

:25:42. > :25:52.greatest jockeys. Pat Eddery's victory was his third of four in the

:25:53. > :25:56.Arc. He won his first race in 1969 and was the champion flat racing

:25:57. > :26:00.jockey for the 11th time many years later. Still he went on, still

:26:01. > :26:07.making weight putting his body through the demands of the sport.

:26:08. > :26:11.Pat Eddery rode more than 4700 winners. Only one man has ever

:26:12. > :26:17.written more. Won all the classics, including the Derby three times.

:26:18. > :26:21.I've been at it a long time, riding horses for 37 years. I just feel now

:26:22. > :26:28.is as good a time as any. I'm 51 years old, can't go on forever. But

:26:29. > :26:31.Pat Eddery and horses would become inseparable. He became a train is

:26:32. > :26:36.still riding in the morning to test his horses's fitness. After all, who

:26:37. > :26:42.would know better than Pat? Enshrined in memories, Pat Eddery

:26:43. > :26:47.will be one of racing's greats, the king of jockeys.

:26:48. > :26:48.Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch has swapped Baker Street

:26:49. > :26:52.The 39-year-old actor, who recently finished a run playing Hamlet

:26:53. > :26:55.at London's Barbican Theatre, has been awarded a CBE for services to

:26:56. > :27:11.The iconic British character he plays on-screen has already visited

:27:12. > :27:17.Britain's most famous building. Buckingham Palace... Here to see the

:27:18. > :27:25.Queen? Today it was the turn of the actor himself. Afterwards he spoke

:27:26. > :27:29.about what the honour meant to him. It's fantastic. It's quite nerve

:27:30. > :27:33.wracking. There's nothing really that prepares you for it. It's a

:27:34. > :27:42.unique occasion. I feel very privileged to be here and very

:27:43. > :27:47.flattered that I have been honoured for my work as an actor and to

:27:48. > :27:56.charities. He is one of the UK's biggest stars, on TV with Sherlock

:27:57. > :28:06.and in cinema, earlier this year he was nominated for an Oscar for The

:28:07. > :28:10.Imitation Game. Of course you're asking a stupid question. Of course

:28:11. > :28:14.machines can't think as people do. On stage he has recently finished a

:28:15. > :28:18.sell-out run as Hamlet in London. It has brought him a worldwide fan

:28:19. > :28:27.base, dozens of prizes and now perhaps his most prestigious award

:28:28. > :28:34.of all, coming a CBE, commander of British Empire.

:28:35. > :28:37.Two rare coloured diamonds are going under the hammer this week and are

:28:38. > :28:40.expected to fetch a record breaking price.

:28:41. > :28:50.The 16 carat jewel known as The Pink is expected to fetch more

:28:51. > :28:55.than ?18 million at the auction in Switzerland today.

:28:56. > :29:01.Tomorrow will see the sale of this 12 carat Blue

:29:02. > :29:04.Moon Diamond and it's thought that it could go for 35 million pounds,

:29:05. > :29:12.which would make it the world's most expensive ring.

:29:13. > :29:17.The warmest November night ever, last night.

:29:18. > :29:26.It won't surprise you to hear that it is going to be very warm. The

:29:27. > :29:30.wind direction is still coming from the south westerly and it is

:29:31. > :29:34.dragging this warmer air from the Azores. It's also bringing quite a

:29:35. > :29:38.lot of cloud across the country. We have seen relentless rain continuing

:29:39. > :29:41.across western Scotland in particular with a few sharp showers

:29:42. > :29:47.further south. These showers into the south-west are very hit and

:29:48. > :29:51.miss. One or two heavy bursts. If you get caught in them, you could

:29:52. > :30:00.know about it. Add a little sunshine into the mix, highs of 17 or 18

:30:01. > :30:05.degrees into the afternoon. The rain slowly drifting its way south and we

:30:06. > :30:09.will gradually see an improvement, with a view showers up in the far

:30:10. > :30:15.north. That front is still there overnight, slipping its way slowly

:30:16. > :30:24.south through the night. We keep that south-westerly flow, a lot of

:30:25. > :30:28.cloud and murky the south. For Armistice Day, we have still got

:30:29. > :30:33.that nuisance weather front and it will bring some persistent rain

:30:34. > :30:36.across north-west England and North Wales, may be leading to some

:30:37. > :30:41.localised flooding. To the south, bits and pieces of rain from time to

:30:42. > :30:48.time but it stays cloudy and relatively mild. To the north, a bit

:30:49. > :30:52.brighter and fresher but better into western Scotland. Temperatures 12

:30:53. > :30:56.degrees as opposed to 16 or 17 further south. That front disappears

:30:57. > :31:01.overnight and by Thursday it's all change. We start off dry and

:31:02. > :31:06.brighter but the winds pick up out to the west with severe gales likely

:31:07. > :31:11.up to the extreme north-west and this area of low pressure could be

:31:12. > :31:18.quite a significant player as it pushes its way south and east. Then

:31:19. > :31:23.it's going to introduce something cooler and fresher behind that cold

:31:24. > :31:29.front. It's all change briefly on Friday but after today's warmth of

:31:30. > :31:33.17 or 18, we will see ninth and 10th and believe me, after today that is

:31:34. > :31:35.going to be a bit of a shock to the system.

:31:36. > :31:43.Thank you. Our main story, the Prime Minister sets out his plans for a

:31:44. > :31:46.reformed EU, including restricting migrants benefits in the UK. That is

:31:47. > :31:47.it from us.
