Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner, | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
denies colluding with Russia, during the President's | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
He also says he's never relied on Russian money, | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
to finance business activities in the private sector. | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
Mr Kushner issued the denials in a statement, hours before | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
appearing before a Congressional panel, investigating Russian | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
meddling in last year's Presidential election. | :00:27. | :00:28. | |

Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. | :01:16. | :01:37. | |
Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, | :01:38. | :01:48. | |
says he didn't collude, nor know of anyone who did collude, | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
with any foreign government, during Donald Trump's run | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
He's also made it clear he hasn't relied on Russian money, | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
to finance business activities in the private sector. | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
In a statement issued before appearing in front of special Senate | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
investigations panel, he did admit to four contacts | :02:02. | :02:02. | |
with Russian officials, but denied any wrongdoing. | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
Our correspondent Andy Moore has the details. | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
Jared Kushner, the President's son-in-law... | :02:07. | :02:07. | |
The person of interest has a name, and that name is Jared Kushner. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
Jared Kushner is not used to being centre stage. | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
As one of Donald Trump's closest advisers, he's been at his side, | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
But he has done some talking with Russians. | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
First, with the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak. | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
And then with this man, Sergei Gorkov. | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
He's the head of a Russian bank tied to the Kremlin. | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
When asked by the BBC about the subject of that meeting, | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
The revelations made Mr Kushner front-page news. | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
His father-in-law didn't seem too pleased. | :02:45. | :02:45. | |
I appreciate everything that Jared... | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
Jared has actually become much more famous than me! | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
LAUGHTER I'm a little bit upset about that! | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
Now, in a statement before his committee appearance, | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
Mr Kushner has said he had four contacts with Russian officials, | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
Mr Kushner was also part of a meeting with a Russian lawyer | :03:01. | :03:24. | |
arranged by Donald Trump Jr in a series of e-mails, | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
which promised dirt on Hillary Clinton. | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
He's bound to be asked about it in Congress today. | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
I want to know whether these meetings | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
took place, whether other meetings took place. | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
Some Democrats have described Mr Kushner as a threat | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
to national security, but Republicans say this is his chance | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
The whole purpose of the meeting is for the guy to explain. | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
"Here's how I met the Russian ambassador, here's what | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
"we talked about, here is how I met the banker guy, | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
"Here is how I found the e-mail about the meeting," and once | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
he gives his side of the story, then we can make an informed decision. | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Yesterday, the White House said it hoped Mr Kushner's appearance before | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
Congress will be the last time he would have to talk about Russia. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
That's very unlikely. Andy Moore, BBC News. | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
Laura Bicker is in Washington for us. | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
What more do you think we can expect on the hearing later on today? Jared | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
Kushner in his statement is very clear. He believes there has been no | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
collusion with Russia by him or any member of the Trump campaign. That, | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
he will reiterate to the Senate panel today. He said he had hardly | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
any contacts with Russia during the campaign, or even afterwards. But he | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
will be asked and quizzed about the meeting he took alongside Donald | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Trump Jr with a Russian lawyer, a Russian lawyer who had promised | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
incriminating evidence about Hillary Clinton. Now, in a statement, Mr | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
Kushner said that in the meeting, he said it was a waste of time. He | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
tried to find a way out of it. But he will be asked a bit more about | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
why he decided to take it. And then when it comes to his meetings with | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
the Russian banker and Russian ambassador, he said he did not seek | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
those meetings, and he said he did not put them on his White House | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
clearance forms, because it was a draft form. Expect more questions | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
about that. Donald Trump has described this investigation as a | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
witchhunt and a hoax. He's clearly infuriated that it is overshadowing | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
his agenda, and it may feel close to home. Donald Trump Jr will be giving | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
evidence in here later this week. But Congress has bowed to go | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
wherever this enquiry may lead them, and at this point, it is down | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
Pennsylvania Avenue, down the White House gates and into the inner | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
circle of the president. Laura, thank you for that. Laura Bicker | :05:55. | :05:55. | |
live in Washington. A High Court judge is hearing | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
new evidence, in the case of the terminally ill baby | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
Charlie Gard. It follows an assessment | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
by an American doctor of his condition, after his parents | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
launched a legal challenge, to prevent their son having his life | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
support switched off. Doctors at Great Ormond Street | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
Hospital, say Charlie, who has a rare genetic disorder, | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
should be allowed But his parents say their son should | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
to travel to America, Charlie Gard, the little baby at the | :06:15. | :06:29. | |
centre of what has become a complex and emotive case. Today, his parents | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
will once again be back at the High Court. Charlie suffers from a rare | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
genetic condition. It causes muscle weakness, and has lead to | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
irreversible brain damage. There is no cure. His parents want to take | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
him to America for experimental treatment, but Great Ormond Street | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Hospital say Charlie should be allowed to die with dignity. There | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
is absolutely no clear right or wrong. Much of the time in medicine, | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
we deal in shades of grey. And in terms of making a decision and the | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
right way forward is, ideally, it has to be a collaborative decision | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
with doctors and parents. Clearly, that relationship has broken down so | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
it has gone legal. This afternoon, the judge here will go over new | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
evidence, crucially what happened at that meeting between this Doctor, | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
the American urologist offering treatment, and medical staff at | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
Great Ormond Street last week. Reports on new scans for Charlie, | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
including an MRI on his brain, may also be revealed. The judge, Mr | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
Justice Francis, says he expects to give his final judgment this week. | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
Charlie's parents will either be able to allowed to take him to | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
America, or will prepare for his treatment to be moved to palliative | :07:49. | :07:49. | |
care. Our medical correspondent | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
Fergus Walsh is at the High Court. The judge has already said in the | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
past that it would have to be compelling new evidence to make him | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
change his mind. He has said that, and what is crucial today is the | :08:06. | :08:14. | |
outcome of the meeting between the American urologist, a very senior | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
doctor in the United States, and the team from Great Ormond Street. He | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
made his offer of help before he had examined Charlie. He got the chance | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
to examine Charlie last week, and to go through his medical records, and | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
now we have had new MRI scans, new EEG scans measuring Charlie's | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
current brain activity, and we will have to wait and see now whether | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
there has been any kind of mediated settlement between this American | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
doctor and another from Italy, and the team at Great Ormond Street. It | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
is dependent on what the two sides say on the way forward. Fergus, | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
thank you. Fergus Walsh at the High Court. | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
The government is promising what it calls a revolution, | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
in the way electricity is generated, used and stored, saying | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
households could save up to ?40 billion by 2050. | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
A special fund to award hundreds of millions of pounds to companies | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
researching battery technology, is being created, part | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
of a broader strategy, to help the UK become much more | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
Here's our Environment Analyst, Roger Harrabin. | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
The future of motoring looks electric as governments strive to | :09:25. | :09:36. | |
combat. It needs a solution. In Birmingham, the Business Secretary | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
put batteries at the heart of his industrial strategy. Joining | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
together, the research, development, application and manufacture of | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
energy storage technologies, and specifically battery storage, is a | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
huge opportunity for the energy sector and the automotive sector | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
alike. Catching up with big Chinese firms, like the makers of this car | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
will be tough. They have had years of huge support from their | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
government. But batteries of all sizes will be needed. This one, near | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
Leighton Buzzard, holds energy generated by wind power for the | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
National Grid. Our washing will play a part in the future energy system. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
People will be offered cheap power to clean their clothes when solar | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
energy is plentiful on a sunny day. Even fridges of the future will play | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
a part in the energy system. When there's a surge in demand | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
on the grid, an internet signal will ask your fridge to switch off | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
for a few moments. If enough people are switching off, | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
it will save a power station being built, and in turn, | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
it will save you some cash. There is a massive opportunity now | :10:43. | :10:51. | |
to go from a system where the only job of the consumer is debatable, to | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
a system where energy flows to and from consumers. Need a flexible | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
electricity will and grow. Overnight, this floating wind farm | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
made in Norway was being towed to be moored off the east coast of | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
Scotland. It will store energy for when we need it. | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
Britain's economic growth forecast has been downgraded, | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
It follows a weaker than expected performance | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
The Treasury says the forecast highlights the importance of a good | :11:23. | :11:34. | |
Well our Economics Correspondent Andrew Walker is here. | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
Back in April, the International monetary fund forecast growth this | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
year of 2%. In an updated assessment of the global outlook, the new | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
figure for the UK is 1.7%, somewhat slower. You may remember, in the | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
days ahead of the referendum last you, the IMF was well known, some | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
may say notorious, for having warned of adverse economic consequences if | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
the UK left the EU. You may wonder if this downgrade is connected with | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
that. The IMF says it is due to the weak start the British economy got | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
off to Abba star of the year, with growth in the first three months of | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
0.2%. Having said that, BBC Radio 2 is told this morning that they | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
maintain their view that over time it is likely to be negative for the | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
British economy if we do leave. Looking ahead to next year, the | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
forecast is 1.5%, so that is somewhat lower again. Turning to the | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
global outlook, the phrase the IMF uses is "A firming recovery" with | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
growth projected this year at 3.5%. That would be an improvement over | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
the last few years, but is still below the average for the years | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
before the financial crisis. It is a non-changed view compared with the | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
April forecast. There have been downward revisions. The UK and the | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
United States have been offset by favourable changes for a number of | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
countries, including several in the Euros own. Andrew, many thanks. | :13:02. | :13:09. | |
You may have noticed some foods, particularly chocolate bars, | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
Manufacturers say it's because ingredients like cocoa | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
and sugar are costing more, and they've had to put up prices, | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
Economists call it "shrinkflation," and the Office for National | :13:18. | :13:27. | |
Statistics says more than 2500 products have shrunk in sizein | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
the last five years, and yet are being sold | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
Scientists say they've found human material, | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
in soil samples taken in Greece by British police, who've been | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
He was 21 mths old, when he disappeared | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
Our reporter Marta Newman has the details. | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
Ben Needham was 21 months old when he disappeared | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
on the Greek island of Kos in July, 1991. | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
In the years that followed, Ben's mother Kerry pleaded | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
with anyone who knows anything about her son's disappearance | :13:59. | :14:00. | |
Last October, an extensive 21 day search was conducted of land around | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
the farmhouse where he was last seen, and a second site close by, | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
after it emerged the toddler may have been crushed | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
And now, on the 26th anniversary of his disappearance, | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
Signs of blood have been found on items recovered by police | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
Some of the items that we brought back we submitted for further | :14:26. | :14:34. | |
forensic work, and the result that to date, I'm led to believe, | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
shows signs that there is some human decomposition around those items | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
The sandal and toy truck believed to have belonged to Ben will now be | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
About 60 items in total were brought back to the UK for analysis. | :14:49. | :14:57. | |
What we're providing is information that there's a strong indication | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
from this chemical profile that we were able to ascertain, | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
there's a strong indication that this was present on these items | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
South Yorkshire Police hope that this latest development will go | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
some way in proving what happened to this little boy. | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
Top story: Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner | :15:18. | :15:36. | |
denies colluding with Russia during the President's election campaign. | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
we've caught up with England cricket star Anya Shrubsole, | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
central to the team's spectacular victory in the Women's | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
After the success of the world parrot championships, London | :15:50. | :15:58. | |

The people of Mosul in north eastern Iraq, are slowly | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
returning to the city, after it's liberation | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
from the brutal rule of so called Islamic State. | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
The fierce nine-month battle to end IS occupation claimed tens | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
of thousands of lives destroyed whole neighbourhoods, | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
and forced 700,000 people to flee their homes. | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
Yalda Hakim has been to meet some of those now hopeful, | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
The Isis reign of terror is now over, but this | :16:27. | :16:35. | |
is what liberation looks like: the city has been flattened. | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
Nual has returned to her neighbourhood with her two children | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
They had attempted to get away during the battle | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
but were captured by Isis soldiers and imprisoned. | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
She says that she may now be liberated, but it means nothing | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
Life, she says, has become even more difficult. | :16:55. | :17:04. | |
At the local hospital, there is chaos. | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
Every day, people queue up, the injured, the sick, | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
The battle is officially over, but it is not safe in Mosul. | :17:11. | :17:20. | |
Isis rigged houses and buildings with booby traps. | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
All over this city now, Iraqi forces work day and night to clear | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
the areas of unexploded devices and booby-traps so that families can | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
This particular unit has been working for the last two days | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
TRANSLATION: There was a car bomb over there, today, we detonated it. | :17:37. | :18:00. | |
there were also IEDs nearby and IEDs in the school. | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
Sheikh says that his Sunni tribe did not support Isis, | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
but when the Iraqi military fled the city, they have no choice. | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
The Iraqi military controlled all of Mosul, when Isis came, | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
they ran, we had no weapons to fight them, he says. | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
I blame what happens to our city on politics, and the leaders. | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
The people of Mosul remain the same, the politicians need to strike | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
to strike a deal, he says, if they don't come up | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
with an agreement, we will be victims again. | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
Laughter is once again allowed in Mosul, and children leap to take | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
Many have known nothing but life under Isis. | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
The Iraq they will inherit has arguably never been more divided. | :18:33. | :18:48. | |
STUDIO: When so-called Islamic State fighters swept through northern Iraq | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
nearly three years ago they targeted the country's oldest ethnic | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
They expelled thousands of them from their homes | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
Women and children were kidnapped, taken as hostage and raped. | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
Some managed to escape and the German government stepped | :19:01. | :19:02. | |
in to help by re-settling many of them in secret locations. | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
Fiona Lamdin has sent this report from a psychiatric | :19:06. | :19:07. | |

VOICEOVER: Seventeen Yazidis are living on this | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
corridor in the middle of | :19:25. | :19:25. | |
a psychiatric hospital in Germany. It's a long way from their home | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
in northern Iraq but at least they are safe here. | :19:29. | :19:40. | |
She was 14 at the time, she and her family tried | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
to escape up the mountain, Mount Sinjar, but they could not run | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
fast enough, and she was then kidnapped, torn from her mother, | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
She told me she saw things which will always haunt her. | :19:50. | :20:25. | |
Would you like to go back to Iraq, to live there? | :20:26. | :20:51. | |
Leading this team, Jacqueline Isaac, an American lawyer. | :20:52. | :21:00. | |
She met with her just days after she had escaped. | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
When I first met her, her head was down, | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
There was no eye contact in the beginning. | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
There were councillors we had brought, stood | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
on the right-hand side, to give counselling, | :21:19. | :21:19. | |
"this is not the time for counselling yet, | :21:20. | :21:35. | |
this is the time to recognise them as human beings." | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
More than two years on, she and her friends are starting | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
to live again, living with deep scars. | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
It is estimated between 2000 to 4000 Yazidi children, women and men | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
STUDIO: More than 30 people have been killed, and around 50 others | :21:47. | :21:57. | |
injured, in a suicide bomb attack in the Afghan capital, Kabul. It's | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
understood the attacker detonated the car bomb, close to a bus | :22:00. | :22:01. | |
carrying government workers in the west of the city. The Taliban, has | :22:02. | :22:03. | |
claimed responsibility. Three men have been given | :22:04. | :22:16. | |
suspended prison sentences, disqualified from driving and fined | :22:17. | :22:18. | |
after being filmed racing at 134 mph on a dual | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
carriageway near Birmingham. Amar Paul, Tejinder Bhuee | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
and Zafar Iqbal were being followed The Judge at Birmingham Crown Court | :22:23. | :22:24. | |
said they avoided being sent to jail VOICEOVER: Driving conditions were | :22:25. | :22:38. | |
horrendous, dark, torrential rain, that did not stop this terrifying | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
illegal street race. Tejinder Bhuee and Zafar Iqbal Were | :22:41. | :22:50. | |
driving their Mercedes at breakneck speeds alongside Amar Paul, in a | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
Volkswagen golf, they seemed oblivious to the risks being taken | :22:55. | :23:02. | |
with their lives and the lives of others. What are you doing in excess | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
of 120? They seemed disinterested when we spoke with them. No? This is | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
the stretch where the races usually occur. Among the officers in | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
pursuit, PC Mark Hodgson. Literally these people drive their cars like | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
they think they are in a film or on a video game. Of course, it is not | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
like a film or a video game, because it is real life, things do go wrong, | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
they go wrong all the time, when people drive in this manner. The | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
consequences are just tragic and we have to pick up the pieces. -- Mark | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
Hodson. Illegal street racing in the West Midlands has already cost | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
lives, student Rebecca McManus was killed while waiting at a bus stop | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
with a friend on the way to a hen party. There is now a permanent | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
memorial at the place where she died. The complete stupidity of the | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
whole thing, to race like that, with no thought of the consequences, and | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
the consequences can be so devastating, Rebecca lost her life, | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
we have lost our daughter, Rebecca has been lost to so many people. | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
They lost their liberty for a bit, and... They brought ridicule on | :24:10. | :24:11. | |
their own families for doing such a stupid thing and it is a stupid | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
thing to do. Local authorities have begun to take out a High Court | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
injunctions like this, giving the police greater powers to stop | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
motorists gathering and taking part in a legal racing. There is some | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
evidence they are working, in places like this the problem has declined | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
but there is still a hard-core of motorists willing to take part in | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
illegal street racing, putting bears and other people's lives at risk. | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
Police believe that if the three men had been sent to jail, it would have | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
sent out a strong message to street racers. An operation targeting them | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
has already seen the number of incidents fall dramatically, more | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
than 20 drivers have been disqualified and more than 60 cars | :24:55. | :24:55. | |
have been seized. STUDIO: Prince William has revealed, | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
how he tells his children stories about their grandmother, | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
Diana Princess of Wales, Next month marks the 20th | :25:05. | :25:06. | |
anniversary of her death. Our Royal Correspondent Nicholas | :25:07. | :25:14. | |
Witchell's report contains some VOICEOVER: She was once one | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
of the most recognised constantly, or so it seemed, | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
in the headlines, at 20 years after Diana's death | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
there is now a generation Among them, her two grandchildren, | :25:28. | :25:29. | |
George and Charlotte, so how does William keep his mother's memory | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
alive for his son and daughter? I think, constantly talking | :25:34. | :25:43. | |
about Granny Diana. So, they have more photos | :25:44. | :25:45. | |
up around the house, and we talk about her a bit, | :25:46. | :25:47. | |
and it is hard because obviously Katherine didn't know her, | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
she cannot really provide that So I do regularly, when I put George | :25:51. | :25:52. | |
and Charlotte to bed, talk about her and try to remind her | :25:53. | :26:03. | |
that there is two grandmothers, there were two | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
grandmothers in their lives, it is important they knew | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
who she was and that she existed. Perhaps the most effective way | :26:09. | :26:10. | |
of keeping Diana's memory alive One of her most significant | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
contributions was to break down the stigma then attached to people | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
with AIDS, in 1987 during a visit in 1987 during a visit | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
to Middlesex Hospital, by all those who have campaigned | :26:23. | :26:23. | |
for greater understanding of AIDS. -- she shook hands | :26:24. | :26:33. | |
with an AIDS patient, a small gesture but one | :26:34. | :26:46. | |
which is remembered today by all those who have campaigned | :26:47. | :26:48. | |
for greater understanding of AIDS. It was considered | :26:49. | :26:50. | |
to be a gay disease. For someone who was within the royal | :26:51. | :26:52. | |
family, and who was a woman, and who was straight, | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
to have someone care, from the other side, | :26:56. | :26:57. | |
was an incredible gift. You look back to these | :26:58. | :26:59. | |
days, when the reality The reality then was doom and gloom | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
yet everybody in that Twenty years after her death, it is, | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
as William himself has said, a tribute to Diana from her two | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
sons, and an opportunity STUDIO: England's women cricketers | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
have been back at Lords today after their World Cup winning | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
performance against India. It was the fourth time | :27:21. | :27:22. | |
they've won the tournament, with Anya Shrub-sole the heroine, | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
taking six wickets. Our Sports Reporter David Ornstein | :27:29. | :27:30. | |
joins us now from Lord's. VOICEOVER: With a single delivery, | :27:31. | :27:37. | |
England were champions of the world, a thrilling end to a momentous | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
tournament. Possibly the greatest day for English women's sport, and | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
the morning after the historic night before, the hero, Anya Shrubsole, | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
returned to savour the scene of triumph. Probably the greatest day | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
of my life, I'm not sure if I could find any better days than this. | :27:57. | :28:03. | |
India were stunned by the produced Shrubsole a record spell of six | :28:04. | :28:10. | |
wickets in 46 runs to produce an astonishing triumph. Before the | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
match, her father posted photos of her visiting Lourdes in 2001, in the | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
future she wanted to play there, now she has done that and so much more. | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
You kind of dream of these moments, obviously when we knew the | :28:25. | :28:26. | |
tournament was going to be in England and the final at Lord's, you | :28:27. | :28:30. | |
dream you would be at the final, at Lord's. -- Lord's. You never really | :28:31. | :28:35. | |
dream that you will take the final wicket. It is a reality now. So | :28:36. | :28:41. | |
happy, the whole team, to have done this. The fact that yesterday's | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
final was a sell-out, with almost 27,000 spectators here at Lord's, | :28:47. | :28:50. | |
speaks volumes for the success of the tournament, and the interest it | :28:51. | :28:55. | |
has sparked. Now there is a genuine belief that this could prove a | :28:56. | :28:59. | |
turning point for the progression of the women's game. It does feel a | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
little bit like a watershed moment in terms of the coverage we have | :29:04. | :29:08. | |
had, the ECB are in a great position to maximise our success, and get | :29:09. | :29:13. | |
more girls playing the game, it has never been a better time to play | :29:14. | :29:17. | |
women's sport or women's cricket in this country. The celebrations | :29:18. | :29:21. | |
continue long into the night, but today, the team were back inspiring | :29:22. | :29:26. | |
future generations, because for all they have achieved so far, arguably | :29:27. | :29:30. | |
the biggest question will be the legacy they leave. | :29:31. | :29:35. | |
I'm delighted to be joined by one of the heroes, the only player to score | :29:36. | :29:43. | |
two centuries in this, tournament, a half-century in the final, is it | :29:44. | :29:48. | |
starting to sink in, what you have achieved? Yes, little bit more so | :29:49. | :29:52. | |
today, I woke up with a massive shiner, I think my cheek will start | :29:53. | :29:58. | |
hurting soon! How far have England women cricketers come, and how far | :29:59. | :30:02. | |
is there still to go for women's cricket and women's sport? | :30:03. | :30:06. | |
In the last few years it has really been growing, but this tournament | :30:07. | :30:13. | |
has been a massive step for us. In terms of cricket but also women's | :30:14. | :30:18. | |
sport, I think we can use this and really go places. Fourth title for | :30:19. | :30:23. | |
the England women's cricket team but possibly the most important, for | :30:24. | :30:28. | |
what it could mean? Yes, I think in this day and age, that is definitely | :30:29. | :30:33. | |
the case. I think we can use it to inspire as many people as we can. | :30:34. | :30:40. | |

sensation, the England women's team World Cup winners. -- Bay are front | :30:47. | :30:50. | |
and back page news. Time to take a look at the weather | :30:51. | :30:56. | |
forecast, decidedly chilly. Western and northern parts of the country | :30:57. | :31:00. | |
are basking in sunshine, take a look at this stunning picture from | :31:01. | :31:04. | |
Scotland, it will be the hotspot today, south-western parts of | :31:05. | :31:10. | |
Scotland. Looking at the East, no, grey skies, around 11 or 12 degrees, | :31:11. | :31:15. | |
on the Yorkshire coast line, so a massive difference between the East | :31:16. | :31:16. | |
and the sunny West. Tomorrow should be better almost | :31:17. | :31:24. | |
everywhere, this is the forecast for the week ahead, very changeable, | :31:25. | :31:28. | |
forecasting a changeable week, heavy rain on the way on Wednesday, but | :31:29. | :31:32. | |
there will be some sunshine around, on Wednesday a bit of sunshine | :31:33. | :31:37. | |
around. All the rest of today, the East remains cloudy and dreary, not | :31:38. | :31:42. | |
a pretty picture. Looking at Cornwall, Devon, throughout the West | :31:43. | :31:45. | |
Country and Wales, right now in Cardiff, temperature 24 degrees. | :31:46. | :31:50. | |
Still basking in sunshine at this stage, light winds, beautiful | :31:51. | :31:56. | |
summery day, sunny weather in Northern Ireland and throughout | :31:57. | :31:58. | |
western Scotland. I will point out, if you happen to be up in the | :31:59. | :32:03. | |
Highlands, there is just a chance of a shower, but that is pretty much | :32:04. | :32:07. | |
it, other than that, looking fine. Eastern areas stay fine through the | :32:08. | :32:12. | |
evening and into tonight, then a tendency for all of that Merck and | :32:13. | :32:16. | |
drizzle to push away towards the east through the course of the | :32:17. | :32:19. | |
night, not immediately, still first thing in the morning, might be | :32:20. | :32:23. | |
cloudy in the east, but clearer skies in place across western areas | :32:24. | :32:29. | |
of the UK. Tuesday, overall, looking like it is going to be the best day | :32:30. | :32:33. | |
of the week, because we will all have at least some sunshine, a | :32:34. | :32:36. | |
couple of showers dotted around, on balance, it is going to be a very | :32:37. | :32:41. | |
nice day. And then, all change from Wednesday. Very powerful jet stream | :32:42. | :32:46. | |
from the Atlantic is going to shunt this low pressure and the weather | :32:47. | :32:51. | |
front in our direction, so there will be rain sweeping across the | :32:52. | :32:55. | |
country quite swiftly, a good few hours of heavy rain, five, six, | :32:56. | :33:02. | |
seven hours. In the east you can see it is still dry, the weather front | :33:03. | :33:06. | |
wishes across, then we have the fresh Atlantic air coming, and late | :33:07. | :33:11. | |
on Wednesday and into Thursday, the low approach, even a chance of gale | :33:12. | :33:14. | |
force winds across western coasts. -- whooshes across. A blustery | :33:15. | :33:19. | |
Thursday, on the way. You can see some showers on Thursday, Friday | :33:20. | :33:23. | |
looking a little mixed, certainly the wettest day will be Wednesday. | :33:24. | :33:26. | |
Up and down the hill through this week. | :33:27. | :33:29. |
