:04:53. > :04:55.there is a caveat, lots. What about the other technology needed to

:05:18. > :05:21.strategy has been to put pressure on the Chinese, you are the guys with
:05:22. > :05:25.the economic cloud who can influence North Korea because of the huge
:05:26. > :05:30.economic influence China has. At the moment, China is unwilling to use
:05:31. > :05:47.that. It prefers the status quo to provoking some kind of a crisis

:06:17. > :06:20.Mark Easton, who's in West London. The inquiry is not even under way
:06:21. > :06:22.and already there is trouble? That is right. Many local people, the
:06:23. > :06:25.local Labour MP, local councillors, some claim to represent victims of
:06:26. > :06:29.the fire. They are all saying Sir Martin Moore-Bick does not enjoy the
:06:30. > :06:33.confidence of the local community, a neighbourhood which has long felt
:06:34. > :06:37.marginalised from those who have power over them, trust and respect
:06:38. > :06:42.of commodities in short supply and the tragedy of course has diminished
:06:43. > :06:49.though still further. In Sir Martin Moore-Bick you have a Cambridge
:06:50. > :06:50.educated gentleman who looks every inch the establishment figure and
:06:51. > :06:54.that causes some concern that the inquiry could turn into some kind of
:06:55. > :06:59.establishment cover-up or whitewash in the minds of local people.
:07:00. > :07:03.Interestingly, the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and the mayor of
:07:04. > :07:06.London, Sadiq Khan, have both indicated that while they are not at
:07:07. > :07:11.this stage talking about him stepping down, they are saying he
:07:12. > :07:15.must listen more to the concerns of local people. I am told there are
:07:16. > :07:19.planned meetings, we do not know the form, I am sure they will happen
:07:20. > :07:23.over the next days and weeks, and there is a meeting today with the
:07:24. > :07:26.police commander and the coroner also meeting local residents. The
:07:27. > :07:33.hope must be that lines of communication can be opened up,

:21:36. > :21:38.there was a sensation, I think he was actually crouching
:21:39. > :21:45.down by the bed and he stood up There was no doubt
:21:46. > :21:55.in my mind that... The abuser was his commanding
:21:56. > :22:03.officer, Lieutenant Colonel Alan Waters, then aged 33,
:22:04. > :22:06.a volunteer cadet instructor in When Tony's parents complained,
:22:07. > :22:12.they got a visit at home from senior We was ready to go to the police,
:22:13. > :22:21.and they convinced us that we should They tried to explain to us that
:22:22. > :22:29.if we went to the police that In return for not pressing
:22:30. > :22:39.the complaint, Tony's parents say they were promised Alan Waters
:22:40. > :22:41.would never work But Panorama has
:22:42. > :22:45.discovered that was a lie. The Sea Cadets did not dismiss him,
:22:46. > :22:48.they didn't even suspend him. In fact they actually promoted him
:22:49. > :22:52.and moved him to another Panorama has found in Cheshunt,
:22:53. > :23:01.Glasgow and Birmingham too a pattern Cadet leaders sexually abused
:23:02. > :23:05.children in their care and senior officials in the organisation then
:23:06. > :23:09.covered it up. It is being compared in scale
:23:10. > :23:15.to other sex abuse scandals. We have obtained figures which show
:23:16. > :23:17.in the last five years 363 sex abuse allegations,
:23:18. > :23:20.both historical and current, have been made across the UK
:23:21. > :23:24.for the Army, Air and Sea Cadets. 282 cases have been referred
:23:25. > :23:27.to the police, 99 volunteers In Tony's case it was only 25 years
:23:28. > :23:33.later that Alan Waters saw justice. He was convicted in India of raping
:23:34. > :23:36.and abusing street children The Sea Cadets have apologised
:23:37. > :23:40.unreservedly and said it is not reflective
:23:41. > :23:46.of the organisation today. The MoD has so far paid out
:23:47. > :24:03.more than ?2 million And you can see Panorama tonight
:24:04. > :24:19.at 10.45pm on BBC One. It is on at the later time of
:24:20. > :24:24.11:10pm in Northern Ireland and 11:45pm in Scotland.
:24:25. > :24:26.The way children watch television has changed dramatically over
:24:27. > :24:29.the past few years - they now spend more time online
:24:30. > :24:33.The BBC has decided to respond by spending an extra ?34 million
:24:34. > :24:35.on new content for children over the next three years.
:24:36. > :24:38.The corporation says it's facing increased competition from companies
:24:39. > :24:40.Our Arts Correspondent, David Sillito, is here.
:24:41. > :24:46.That money will be spent on programmes going on TV or online?
:24:47. > :24:51.Increasingly online, not just programmes as well, all sorts of new
:24:52. > :24:56.interactive content. For instance, when you have these voice user
:24:57. > :25:02.interface computers where you can talk to them, can you talk to the
:25:03. > :25:07.BBC? Will the BBC characters be able to talk back? All this will be
:25:08. > :25:11.developed. It is the amount of time that children are not watching TV,
:25:12. > :25:16.down by more than a quarter over the last six years. One in four children
:25:17. > :25:22.still watch CBBC every week but 70% are watching YouTube and many say it
:25:23. > :25:25.is their favourite media brand so the BBC has to respond to all of
:25:26. > :25:29.this. A massive change, anyone who has kids knows how different it is
:25:30. > :25:37.now to when they were young but the problem is the amount of money. Your
:25:38. > :25:43.pocket but going from 110 million to 124 million, an extra 15 million
:25:44. > :25:48.more you can look at Netflix and of them are spending on content, not
:25:49. > :25:51.just children's content but overall, 8 billion a year spent on
:25:52. > :25:55.programming. These are the new competitive in the market and this
:25:56. > :25:59.is where everybody is having to look and four British children's TV
:26:00. > :26:04.content, if you compare it to a few years ago, I to be used to do 424
:26:05. > :26:09.hours a year of original programming but it is now a tenth of that -- ITV
:26:10. > :26:19.used to do. The other providers are pretty much out of the market so if
:26:20. > :26:21.you want British children's TV content, the BBC wants to create
:26:22. > :26:22.more and put it where children are actually watching. Thank you.
:26:23. > :26:24.Seven-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer will take
:26:25. > :26:26.to Centre Court later on Day Two of the championship.
:26:27. > :26:29.Also in action on the show courts are the women's top seed,
:26:30. > :26:31.Angelique Kerber, and three-time winner Novak Djokovic.
:26:32. > :26:35.They'll be hoping to emulate the performance of Andy Murray,
:26:36. > :26:37.Johanna Konta and Heather Watson, who all earned their place
:26:38. > :26:41.Our Sports Correspondent, David Ornstein, is at
:26:42. > :26:53.We know that Wimbledon is an event that is steeped in history on and
:26:54. > :26:59.off the court and busy it is possible a bit more could be created
:27:00. > :26:59.by Roger Federer them his 19th consecutive campaign beginning later
:27:00. > :27:08.this afternoon. The start of one of the greatest
:27:09. > :27:13.success stories sport has ever seen. Wimbledon 2003, Roger Federer's
:27:14. > :27:18.first grand slam title, 14 years on, the tally now stands at 18 and
:27:19. > :27:23.counting. Back where it all began his quest for a record eighth win on
:27:24. > :27:28.the grass begins. You may have aged but his status remains. It is
:27:29. > :27:31.strange, yes, for a 35-year-old who have not played the clay-court
:27:32. > :27:34.season at all to go in at the David, that is what I don't believe
:27:35. > :27:39.everything I hear. It is important to me that unhealthy and ready to go
:27:40. > :27:44.and creative on the court and all that stuff and then good things can
:27:45. > :27:48.happen. Federer made centre court his kingdom but since last lifting
:27:49. > :27:53.the trophy in 2012 Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have shared the
:27:54. > :27:58.spoils with Murray already in round two, Djokovic will hope to join him.
:27:59. > :28:02.The second seed want up with victory in Eastbourne but the past 12 months
:28:03. > :28:07.have been largely forgettable and he will want to avoid the fate suffered
:28:08. > :28:11.by Stan Wawrinka yesterday, the fifth seed's defeat the biggest
:28:12. > :28:16.shock on the first date. Top seed in the women's draw is Angelique Kerber
:28:17. > :28:19.the runner-up to Serena Williams a year ago, she opens play on centre
:28:20. > :28:25.court, one of a group of contenders with a chance to capitalise on
:28:26. > :28:28.Serena's absence. I think there are ten names that Goodwin. We have the
:28:29. > :28:33.much more depth in women's tennis, we could be seeing the brink of the
:28:34. > :28:37.best era in women's tennis is that we have ever seen before and I think
:28:38. > :28:42.it will be a very special five or six years coming up. In that time
:28:43. > :28:45.Federer will aim to add even more titles to his collection, a story of
:28:46. > :28:49.success that shows little sign of ending just yet.
:28:50. > :28:56.The most interesting match from a British perspective that it is Kyle
:28:57. > :29:01.Edmund against Alex Ward and Edmund is leading by two sets to one and a
:29:02. > :29:06.break in the fourth set. I enjoyed by a former British player and
:29:07. > :29:11.Wimbledon quarter finalist, Jo Durie. Tel is a bit more about both
:29:12. > :29:16.this matter, Ward and Edmund, and Roger Federer who we will see later.
:29:17. > :29:21.I think Kyle Edmund was a bit nervous when he went on record. It
:29:22. > :29:24.is difficult playing a fellow Brit at Wimbledon because you both think
:29:25. > :29:29.there is such a big chance to get through, lots of prize money and
:29:30. > :29:32.points to be won. Roger Federer, what can I say? I think the roof
:29:33. > :29:38.might come off when he goes on court, it will be a fabulous day of
:29:39. > :29:43.tennis. He is third on centre court, following Novak Djokovic in what is
:29:44. > :29:45.an afternoon of two former champions here at you. The weather is not
:29:46. > :29:52.looking too bad either. So far so good at Wimbledon, a bit
:29:53. > :29:57.of cloud bubbling up but generally it is warm out there and I suspect
:29:58. > :30:03.it will stay dry during the day. 24 degrees, tomorrow warm still,
:30:04. > :30:08.probably the best day of the week but Thursday a chance of some
:30:09. > :30:11.thundery showers. Not everywhere is seeing beautiful weather, pretty
:30:12. > :30:17.disappointing in North Berwick with a lot of cloud and some rain, some
:30:18. > :30:21.quite heavy in Northern Ireland where we have seen nearly an inch of
:30:22. > :30:25.rain and it is to be in Central and southern Scotland and northern
:30:26. > :30:28.England. Not too bad north of Glasgow, some sunshine here but
:30:29. > :30:32.underneath the cloud and rain it is disappointing with only 12 degrees
:30:33. > :30:36.at the moment. We have already got 24 in the south-east which is where
:30:37. > :30:41.the best of the Centre has been, a bit more clout in the afternoon but
:30:42. > :30:45.in England and Wales, it should start to think out and break and an
:30:46. > :30:49.improving picture. By the middle of the afternoon not bad for the
:30:50. > :30:53.Northern Isles and Western Isles and the bulk of northern and central
:30:54. > :30:57.Scotland with the rain sitting there and it will be persistent and feel
:30:58. > :31:01.pretty miserable for much of the day also further south, the cloud breaks
:31:02. > :31:06.up, the sunshine comes through and it will be pleasant with
:31:07. > :31:08.temperatures peaking at 25 degrees which is 77 Fahrenheit, very nice
:31:09. > :31:13.with just a light breeze. Through the night it will stay warm and
:31:14. > :31:16.sultry in the south-east, the weather front weakens considerably
:31:17. > :31:20.but sit in the north and by the end of the night we could see them sharp
:31:21. > :31:25.showers cropping up in the south-west. We start tomorrow with
:31:26. > :31:33.the best of the centre in England and Wales, a glorious day in
:31:34. > :31:36.prospect if you like it hot and dry and sunny. After a cloudy and grisly
:31:37. > :31:38.start where the Weatherford has been it will improve across much of
:31:39. > :31:40.Northern Ireland, central and southern Scotland with a few
:31:41. > :31:45.scattered showers in the afternoon but warmer than today with highest
:31:46. > :31:51.values of 16 to 18 degrees but look further south and we could see 28,
:31:52. > :31:55.that is 82 Fahrenheit. But we are heading into that classic British
:31:56. > :31:58.summer, a couple of fine days followed by a thundery breakdown and
:31:59. > :32:04.that is the potential on Thursday for heat and moisture to move up
:32:05. > :32:08.from the Channel and that could spark of some thundery downpours.
:32:09. > :32:13.They are showers so they could be very hit and miss some may get them,
:32:14. > :32:17.some not, but if you catch one they could be significant and could cause
:32:18. > :32:21.some problems with some flooding. A few sharp showers further north and
:32:22. > :32:24.east but a better day, prior and brighter. Likely to stay warm on
:32:25. > :32:25.Friday and into the weekend. Thank you.
:32:26. > :32:28.A reminder of our main story this lunchtime...
:32:29. > :32:31.North Korea says it has launched a missile which they claim
:32:32. > :32:39.is capable of reaching any corner of the globe.
:32:40. > :32:43.State TV claim the intercontinental ballistic missile landed in the Sea
:32:44. > :32:44.of Japan and the North Korean leader watched as it was launched.
:32:45. > :32:48.That's all from the BBC News at One so it's goodbye from me
