Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
Two weeks after the Paris attacks, a memorial service has taken place | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
in the French capital to remember the 130 people who were killed. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
Around a thousand people attended the service, including survivors of | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
There was a minute's silence, and the names | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
The French President Francois Hollande said | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
his country would do all it could to destroy the "army of fanatics" who | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
attacked bars and restaurants, a concert hall and a stadium - vowing | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
that France would respond with more music, concerts and sport. | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
Let's go to Ben Brown, who's in Paris for us now. | :02:14. | :02:54. | |
Two weeks on from the attacks in Paris the grief is still raw. | :02:55. | :03:13. | |
President Hollande came to mourn the victims alongside their loved ones | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
and many of the survivors, too. On a bitterly cold Paris morning in one | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
of the great courtyards, the names and ages of all of those who lost | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
their lives were read out in remembrance. | :03:32. | :03:49. | |
Nick Alexander. John Jack Amiel. | :03:50. | :04:02. | |
MUSIC. In his address, and emotional | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
President Hollande said that France will fight to the end to destroy | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
what he called the army of fanatics behind the attacks. | :04:14. | :04:22. | |
TRANSLATION: We are one nation. We believe in the same values. | :04:23. | :04:31. | |
With me is Hugh Schofield. What do you think was the symbolic | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
significance of staging this day of remembrance here, at one of the | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
great monuments in Paris? France does not do religion. If this had | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
happened in Britain the ceremony would have been at Westminster | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
Abbey. It is the state that does appear in France. Here we have the | :04:51. | :04:59. | |
Dome and the tomb. It is a military complex. That is significant because | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
of the language President Hollande has been using about taking more to | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
Islamic State. It is almost as if the 130 unfortunate victims have | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
been given military honours. It is a place everybody can rally around, | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
with one slight discordant note. There is a current of feeling | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
represented by a handful of families who have not turned up. They say the | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
state should have done more. That had France reacted properly back in | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
January and enacted the emergency measures then, this could have been | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
averted. Two weeks on, how nervous are people in Paris that there could | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
be more attacks? I think people are apprehensive, nervous. That has not | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
gone away. Life is returning to normal. But nobody is without that | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
nagging sense that this could come from anywhere at any time. | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
Thank you very much indeed. Hugh Schofield, our Paris correspondent. | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
President Hollande asked people across France today to drape their | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
homes and their businesses in the colours of the French flag, the red, | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
white and blue of the trigger, to make this a National day of | :06:12. | :06:23. | |
remembrance. Tom Watson says David Cameron has made a compelling case | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
for British air strikes against the Islamic State in Syria. His views | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
put him at odds against Corbyn who opposes military action. The Labour | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
Party is to decide on Monday if MPs are ordered to back their leader in | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
a Commons vote. We have this report. | :06:40. | :06:50. | |
The Prime Minister could seek the backing of the Commons as early as | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
next week to extend air strikes to Syria. | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
David Cameron, meeting other world leaders has made it clear he will | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
not put the issue to a vote unless confident of winning a clear | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
majority. I believe there is a case to take | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
effective action to keep our country safe. I thought many members of | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
Parliament on all sides of the House of Commons agreed there was a | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
compelling case. I urge all of them to vote on the basis of the | :07:20. | :07:28. | |
arguments for effective action on a compelling action to keep our | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
country safe. Jeremy Corbyn said he was not convinced. Others in the | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
Shadow Cabinet disagree. One saying that Jeremy Corbyn should resign. | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
But the deputies defended him. It is in his right to outline his | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
position on all military action and policy issues. He is our leader. I | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
want to ensure we make the right decision on his behalf as well as | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
other countries. The Shadow Party is to meet to | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
discuss this more on Monday. I am told there is favour of | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
supporting the support for the Prime Minister and some were furious when | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
Jeremy Corbyn sent a letter to MPs setting out his opposition to air | :08:17. | :08:17. | |
strikes. Several prepared to resign if they are told to vote against | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
military action in Syria. It is not clear if they are free to vote as | :08:20. | :08:19. | |
they choose. . It is not for me to say in there | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
is a free vote. Jeremy Corbyn has made his decision clear. As is | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
appropriate. I think in the end that the party members will want MPs to | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
unite behind the leader. What Jeremy Corbyn is saying about the bombing | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
is what party members are sayle. Prime Minister is saying we should | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
not leave it to allies like the French but some are not convinced, | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
the Scottish nationalists are likely to oppose him. So the decision of | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
the Labour MPs could help decide as to whether or not to oppose. | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
While Labour are in turmoil over airstrikes, Russia and France have | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
agreed to co-ordinate operations against IS in Syria - and this | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
morning the French Foreign Minister questioned whether airstrikes were | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
enough. Our Security Correspondent Frank Gardner is here. | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
discussion here? in ground troops, so what is under | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
This is the question that keeps coming up again and again. Air | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
strikes will not win a campaign on their own. You have to win it on the | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
ground. Part of the problem in the area that is controlled by the | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria is that they are embedded in | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
the local population. So you need the support of the local population | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
and a ground force. The local support initially welcomed them in. | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
The figure spoken about yesterday by David Cameron was 70,000. This is | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
the number of so-called moderate opposition rebel forces in Syria. | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
That figure is more or less accurate, the question is whether | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
they would actually want to unite and drive Isis out. They don't like | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
Isis but they also don't like President Assad. For the last four | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
years they have been fighting more of President Assad. So the figure is | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
broadly accurate but there are 110 different factions, getting it | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
together is a Herculean task. Thank you. | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
Today is Black Friday - the day retailers copy their American | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
counterparts and offer big discounts in the run-up to Christmas. Last | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
year saw long queues and some hot tempers - this year though it's been | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
a different story - as our Business Correspondent Emma Simpson reports. | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
They opened early for business in Norwich. But they need not have | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
bothered, there was not a shopper in sight. In Northumberland this man | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
should have no trouble getting what he came for. | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
You are the only one here? Yep! In Milton Keynes, shoppers that turned | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
up were surprised it was so quiet. I thought it would be busy, that | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
there would be big queues. That I would be late. Surprised that nonis | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
around! No chaos as doors opened. Retailers like this one have been | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
running deals to avoid a massive stampede today. They have learned | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
lessons from last year. It is gone 7.00am, this store is quiet, that is | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
because the manager tells me that people have been waking up in the | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
middle of the night, ordering online and going back to bed, knowing that | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
they can collect from here later. Today we are expecting 3 million | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
visitors to the website. We should take ten orders a second and I | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
expect to sell 1 million products on this one day alone. | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
Black Friday is not just about big TVs, it is big numbers. Could online | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
shoppers spend ?1 billion in a single day for the first time? Even | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
if they do, many exparodists say that this entirely manufactured | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
event does retailers more harm than good. | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
Black Friday is the craziest thing from the US. It sucks full-priced | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
December spending into November at cut-prices, retailers make less | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
profit. But good for the consumers, though. | :12:22. | :12:30. | |
Take Rena. What are you buying? A kettle, toaster, printer, a | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
microwave and I am waiting for the Dyson hot and cold fan! How much | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
have you spent? I don't know! When it adds up, I will know! How will | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
Black Friday add up for the industry? The predictions are it | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
will be a record-breaking day for sales. The question is, has it hit | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
'People of prominence' linked to Westminster are to be investigated | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
by the judge leading an inquiry into child sex abuse. The Church of | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
England, the Roman Catholic Church and certain councils will also be | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
scrutinised. Justice Lowell Goddard said she would run twelve separate | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
investigations into institutions that failed children. Tom Symonds is | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
Tom, where is this inquiry heading? Well it is heading throughout much | :13:09. | :13:23. | |
of British society. Justice and Equality Movement said that among | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
the councils she would look at, Lambeth and Nottinghamshire, where | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
boys and girl girls, it is claimed, were abused in care. Rochdale were | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
boys were abused in schools, including Cyril Smithmph. The | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
Anglican and the Roman Catholic churches are to be investigated. | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
Sexual abuse in residential schools, on the internet, in organised groups | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
such as on streets around Britain. In British institutions abroad, the | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
armed forces, and the foreign and the Commonwealth offices and the | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
current one, Westminster, and people in the security services, so very | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
few places will not be touched by this investigation. Justice and | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
Equality Movement has said she will get to the bottom of child abuse, it | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
has been a major issue in British history. | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
That is a very long list. How feesily do you think it is for her | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
and the inquiry to do all of that? It is a long list but the first bit | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
of work that the inquiry is to do. Justice and Equality Movement said | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
it could take probably 18 months but longer for the areas where the | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
police are also investigating. Therefore a delay. But there must be | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
a question for resources. The stated aim is not just to get across the | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
old paperwork and open archives but to develop new investigations that | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
get new evidence. That is labour intensive, the police have hundreds | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
of officers doing that work in each force. So therefore there will be a | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
question about how much the inquiry can do. It is said, although it is | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
supposed to take five years, it could take longer than that. | :15:12. | :15:12. | |
Thank you very much. France holds a memorial service | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
for those killed in the terror attacks - the names | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
of each of the 130 victims was read And in Australia, cricketers pay | :15:22. | :15:35. | |
tribute to Phillip Hughes, who died one year ago after being struck by a | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
cricket ball under his helmet. Later on BBC London, despite the | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
promises of bargains, are Londoners going cold on Black Friday? | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
And the spending boost could mean more help for a talented young | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
athletes from poor backgrounds. The Queen has opened | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
the Commonwealth Heads of Government Conference in Malta this | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
morning, with climate change and the threats posed by violent extremism | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
expected to be on the agenda. The event is taking place | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
on the second day of the Queen's And at times she has | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
exercised gentle diplomatic But | :16:10. | :16:24. | |
the Queen is no longer travelling And as the leaders of its 53 member | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
nations gathered for the opening ceremony of its biannual conference, | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
they will have been aware that this may be the last Commonwealth | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
conference the Queen will attend. She was joined on stage | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
by the Prince of Wales, a broad hint that he is ready, | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
if requested, to take on the role The Queen's speech was | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
in no sense a farewell. But it did look back. Ladies and | :16:48. | :17:01. | |
gentlemen, I feel enormously proud of what the Commonwealth has | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
achieved and all of it within my lifetime. | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
She paid a rare public tribute to the -- support she received from her | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
husband. And of her eldest son... Nor could I wish to be better | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
supported in the Commonwealth by the -- than by the Prince of Wales, who | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
continues to give so much to it, with great distinction. | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
Was that a further hint from his mother that Charles is Commonwealth | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
inclined? Nobody would ever say as much. But the prince is maintaining | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
a high profile at this conference, urging the Commonwealth to take | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
decisive action on global warming. The other big issue is the fight | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
against extremism. David Cameron says the Commonwealth as a role to | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
play. To one of the most important things we can do here is talk about | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
the perils of Islamist extremist violence and the problem of | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
extremism more broadly. I want to put that on the agenda of the | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
Commonwealth, particularly when you consider how many young people there | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
are in the Commonwealth. This is the struggle of a generation. | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
Nobody has seen more Commonwealth leaders than the Queen. In private | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
meetings she will continue to do as she has done for 60 years and | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
ordered them to utilise the Commonwealth's shared ideals for the | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
common good. Its detractors sometimes dismissed the Commonwealth | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
as little more than a worthy talking shop. But on these issues, global | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
warming and extremism, it is engaged and determined to make a | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
contribution. Nicholas Witchell, BBC News, Malta. | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
Pope Francis has criticised wealthy minorities who, he says, | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
hoard resources at the expense of the poor. | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
He was addressing crowds during a visit to Kangemi, a slum area on the | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
He told them there should be better living conditions | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
Police in Belfast are investigating a gun attack on a police car. | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
Two officers were in the car when eight rounds were fired | :18:54. | :18:55. | |
The police said it "bore the hallmarks of dissident | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
Road traffic accidents have claimed the lives of more British soldiers | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
in the past 13 years than in the war in Afghanistan. | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
The military says those coming back from tours of duty often have | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
Our correspondent, Duncan Kennedy, reports. | :19:14. | :19:24. | |
Soldiers on a night out. Speed up. We have got 15 minutes. These are | :19:25. | :19:35. | |
actors but the scenario is real. Squaddies back from a tour of duty | :19:36. | :19:43. | |
when this happens. Military road accident deaths are | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
now running at double the rate of civilian road deaths. That is why | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
5000 soldiers are this week being shown the video to try to educate | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
them about the dangers. They also have -- here from David and clear | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
Barnet, who lost their son, James, 13 years ago. There are more | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
soldiers killed on our roads in Britain than in conflict. We are | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
here just to make them aware of the dangers on our roads. Today's | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
military accident figures are a stark. 489 soldiers have died in | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
crashes since 2002. That is more than the 454 soldiers who died in | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
the whole of the Afghan conflict. In fact, today's figures show that | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
military personnel and their likely -- twice as likely as the general | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
population to die in road traffic accidents. That is why the military | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
and emergency services are using vehicles like this one, in which a | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
driver died, to try to shock soldiers into changing their | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
motoring habits. Their understanding of risk is | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
different to a civilian. They come into an environment now where they | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
say they are invincible. These soldiers seem ready to accept | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
the safety message. It is a good presentation. It was quite sad but | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
very worthwhile. Some of that should change people's averages. Very | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
hard-hitting, very emotional. Soldiers with money, adrenaline and | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
vehicles are proving a dangerous mixture. One where the battle is not | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
always with the enemy but with the road. | :21:24. | :21:26. | |

Really what these figures show is a system of gearing up for winter, | :21:43. | :21:55. | |
putting in place extra resources and more beds to cope with the extra | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
pressures we see at this time of the year. But still struggling to cope. | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
If you look at accident and emergency, for example, a steady | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
decline over a six-week period up to the middle of this month. They are | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
supposed to deal with 95% of patients coming in within four | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
hours. By the middle of this month it was 88%. In terms of delayed | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
discharges, this is another situation where there are real | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
problems. In some trusts, one in five beds are being occupied by | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
patients ready to leave, ready to move on, but there is not the | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
appropriate care available. Bad news on cancelled operations. The Royal | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
College of Nursing is the medicine says current trends the situation | :22:41. | :22:41. | |
looks set to get worse. Where are these figures from, | :22:42. | :22:42. | |
they don't actually come This is an interesting one. The | :22:43. | :22:52. | |
Royal of emergency medicine say they need reliable data to identify where | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
the problems lie and what needs to be fixed. A couple of years ago the | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
NHS was accused of flying blind as it prepared for winter by MPs. Last | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
year we got regular weekly updates from NHS England. We're not getting | :23:08. | :23:09. | |
that kind of detail this time around. The Royal is talking to | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
hospitals up and down the UK to get that information. | :23:15. | :23:15. | |
Adam, thanks. An American space rocket which | :23:16. | :23:17. | |
crashed last June, has reached an unlikely new destination after being | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
found near the Isles of Scilly. The wreckage, which is about 30 feet | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
long, was spotted floating in It was brought to shore | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
by local boatmen, and is currently Coastguards believe it is | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
from an unmanned Space X Falcon 9 rocket, which exploded moments | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
after take-off in Florida. Great Britain's tennis team has | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
begun its attempt to win the Davis Cup for the first time | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
in nearly 80 years. Kyle Edmund is making his debut | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
in the first match against the Belgians, which is | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
already underway this lunchtime. They came for the tennis, they went | :23:52. | :24:10. | |
through the motions of security measures without drama. Gent is | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
vigilant. Reports that a suspect bag had closed some roads in the | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
morning. At the tennis the police were happy for the British fans to | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
do their things. After all, it is a Davis Cup final. Supposed to be a | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
celebration. It was very camp, very friendly, business as usual. No | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
problem. We have been to many matches, Glasgow, Queens, Naples. We | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
are up for the big one. We follow them everywhere. We are loyal. Those | :24:40. | :24:49. | |
are the home team and they are -- the noise behind the curtain will be | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
their biggest asset. Britain's biggest asset, Murray. Andy plays | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
the second singles match today. He plays Ruben Bemelmans, ranked 108 in | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
the world. If he is a virtual unknown, he hopes that is just the | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
point. It is going to be new for him as | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
well. I think I probably know him better how he plays than him me, | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
maybe I have a slight advantage. They will be well prepared. | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
Some names are known, some names can be made on estates like this. Kyle | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
Edmund, aged 20, ranked 100 in the world, is the first British player | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
in action. No more time to practice. If the spirit of this Davis Cup | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
final is that the show must go on, the key thing is this. The show has | :25:36. | :25:37. | |
begun. This is a multipurpose venue, more | :25:38. | :25:49. | |
used to staging pop concerts. The Belgian team laid a clay court. It | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
was supposed to give them an advantage. David Goffin has been | :25:55. | :25:56. | |
caught against Kyle Edmund. He has been struggling. Edmund is serving | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
for the first set. If Britain could win this match that would be a | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
flying start for the British team. Indeed. Joe Wilson there. | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
It's a year since the Australian batsman, Phillip Hughes, | :26:09. | :26:10. | |
died after being struck by a bouncer under his helmet - | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
and the cricketing world has been paying tribute to him today. | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
The England and Wales Cricket Board have used the anniversary to | :26:17. | :26:18. | |
announce that all professional cricketers will now be required to | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
wear helmets when batting and close fielding from next season. | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
Our Sports Correspondent, Patrick Gearey, reports. | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
At Adelaide on mines and on arms, remembering Phillip Hughes. As | :26:32. | :26:40. | |
Australia played in the first ever day night test, on the big screen, a | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
video rang at 408, Hughes's capped number. Reminding everyone of the | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
lost batsmen, the team's lost friend and professional sport's lost | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
innocence. A life lost to a cricket ball. In the year since Phillip | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
Hughes died, sharper focus has fallen on the risks of cricket, and | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
the importance of these in protecting against them. Yes, I | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
think wearing helmets is crucial. I do not know why some wicketkeepers | :27:08. | :27:14. | |
do not wear them standing up. Bales and balls, it can be very severe on | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
impact. Cricket has always had a fast and furious side. Danger was | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
part of a quick bowler's menace. In the modern era, helmets have offered | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
protection. Now that protection is compulsory. For batsmen and close | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
fielders. Officially welcomed by the players. | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
We have to help people to help themselves. I also think that | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
professional players have a duty to set an example to recreational | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
players, where it may not be quite as easy to make wearing helmets | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
compulsory. The England and Wales Cricket board | :27:52. | :27:54. | |
insist that helmets meet a safety standard. Research test project -- | :27:55. | :28:02. | |
the products before they reach the pitch. There is no doubt the Phillip | :28:03. | :28:06. | |
Hughes incident amplified those concerns. For a while cricketers | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
were understandably looking for reassurance that the helmets they | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
were wearing were going to do the best job possible. Phillip Hughes | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
was wearing a helmet when he was hit. A painful reminder that though | :28:20. | :28:25. | |
it can be made safer, sport a never be entirely safe. Patrick Geary, BBC | :28:26. | :28:27. | |
News. I would normally say our Weather | :28:28. | :28:38. | |
Watchers were out and about taking their photographs. But in Dundonald | :28:39. | :28:43. | |
and across the water into Scotland, the smart move has been to be | :28:44. | :28:48. | |
inside. Both locations far too close to this weather front. You get the | :28:49. | :28:52. | |
sense there is a succession of different types of weather given the | :28:53. | :28:56. | |
different cloud. All the way back to green and it is heading our way for | :28:57. | :29:00. | |
the next few days. Bad weather front is the boundary between the | :29:01. | :29:03. | |
relatively mild air that we have seen of late and something slightly | :29:04. | :29:07. | |
colder for a time. Set to hit the British Isles. It is already working | :29:08. | :29:10. | |
its way into Scotland and Northern Ireland. Ahead of it, Prydie | :29:11. | :29:20. | |
drizzly. 12 bits of sunshine. -- one or two bits of sunshine. There will | :29:21. | :29:25. | |
be a conversion of rain to snow and high levels this afternoon. Watch | :29:26. | :29:30. | |
out for that in Scotland and the higher ground in Northern Ireland. | :29:31. | :29:33. | |
Squally conditions. Just in time for the school run. Look at this, all | :29:34. | :29:39. | |
over western England, the North of England and much of Wales. Ahead of | :29:40. | :29:44. | |
it, quieter for a time. That whether I have described is coming your way. | :29:45. | :29:50. | |
And notice this, for the later commute, watch out. A lot of surface | :29:51. | :29:54. | |
water and spray. It gets away before midnight. Temperatures will dip. As | :29:55. | :30:01. | |
the colder air comes in and the snow keeps coming on what will be a cold | :30:02. | :30:07. | |
night. That sets us up for the start of Saturday. Showers if not longer | :30:08. | :30:11. | |
spells of rain. Wintry across the higher ground in Scotland. 40 to 50 | :30:12. | :30:22. | |
mph gusts. Then the showers. In East Anglia and the south-east in the | :30:23. | :30:27. | |
afternoon you will see few showers. If you have got the combination of | :30:28. | :30:31. | |
plenty of showers and a lot of wind, it will be miserable. The weekend | :30:32. | :30:36. | |
already marked by the windy weather, wet at times with the odd sunny or | :30:37. | :30:41. | |
dry spell. New set of weather France on Sunday. More rain. Turning | :30:42. | :30:51. | |
showery. The gusts could be 50 to 60 mph. Windy across the North of | :30:52. | :30:56. | |
Scotland. Milder on Sunday for some. Because it is colder further north, | :30:57. | :31:01. | |
the snow will be a feature. There is a lot going on. The website is a | :31:02. | :31:04. | |
good place a lot going on. The website is a | :31:05. | :31:04. | |
good place to keep abreast of it. Now a reminder | :31:05. | :31:06. | |
of our top story this lunchtime: France holds a memorial service for | :31:07. | :31:16. | |
those killed in the terror attacks. The names of each of the victims was | :31:17. | :31:21. | |
read out and a minute's silence held. | :31:22. | :31:22. | |
That's all from us, now on BBC One - it's time | :31:23. | :31:24. |
