0:01:43 > 0:01:46Good afternoon, welcome to the BBC News at one.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47The Zimbabwean leader Robert Mugabe has been seen
0:01:47 > 0:01:50in public for the first time since the military
0:01:50 > 0:01:51takeover on Wednesday.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52He's been attending a university graduation
0:01:52 > 0:01:55ceremony in the capital, Harare.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Earlier, the military said talks with Mr Mugabe were continuing
0:01:58 > 0:02:01and there had been significant progress in the operation
0:02:01 > 0:02:03targeting what it called the criminals surrounding him.
0:02:03 > 0:02:12Ben Brown is in Zimbabwe.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17He was supposed to be under house arrest.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20But today it look like business as usual for Robert Mugabe,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22awarding degrees to university graduates in
0:02:22 > 0:02:28Harare and even walking down a red carpet.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30So, after this week's dramatic military takeover here, is
0:02:30 > 0:02:31he still president or not?
0:02:31 > 0:02:36Out in the streets, no-one seems quite sure.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Right across Zimbabwe, millions of people are waiting and watching to
0:02:39 > 0:02:44see what happens next in this crisis, and whether the rule of
0:02:44 > 0:02:50Robert Mugabe, after 37 years, is finally coming to an end. After
0:02:50 > 0:02:54decades of political oppression, and economic disaster, Zimbabweans are
0:02:54 > 0:02:58hungry for change.Almost any kind of change. We don't want Mugabe any
0:02:58 > 0:03:05more, please, anyone, no one likes him, this time we are going to tell
0:03:05 > 0:03:09you, we don't want you, you must go. The country has been going
0:03:09 > 0:03:13backwards. You can't reinvent the wheel, before you lads already been
0:03:13 > 0:03:19invented, this country is going down and down and down.We are tired of
0:03:19 > 0:03:24begging food for my baby to put on the table. No, we say no to that, we
0:03:24 > 0:03:29need better things to happen in this country.The Zimbabwe defence Force
0:03:29 > 0:03:33says significant progress has been made in that operation...Robert
0:03:33 > 0:03:38Mugabe has been negotiating with the head of the army here, General
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Chiwenga, but it is not clear whether Mr Mugabe is trying to cling
0:03:41 > 0:03:47to power or negotiate a dignified exit in which he would step down in
0:03:47 > 0:03:51return for guarantees about his safety and that of his family. If
0:03:51 > 0:03:56that happened, one scenario could be a transitional government run by
0:03:56 > 0:04:02Zanu-PF but including members of the opposition. Zimbabwe, once again, is
0:04:02 > 0:04:05at a crossroads. Ben Brown, BBC News, Zimbabwe.
0:04:05 > 0:04:11Anne Soy is in Zimbabwe.
0:04:11 > 0:04:17From where we sit and watch, it is quite surreal situation. What is
0:04:17 > 0:04:22your best understanding of what is going on, what is being said to
0:04:22 > 0:04:27Robert Mugabe? Well, what is clear is that the
0:04:27 > 0:04:32military is micromanaging what is going on here in Zimbabwe. They did
0:04:32 > 0:04:36allow him to leave his steak house and go to attend that ceremony, even
0:04:36 > 0:04:41though they had said that they had confined him to his official
0:04:41 > 0:04:46residence. What I can read in this is that they are very keen to show
0:04:46 > 0:04:51that it is not Mr Mugabe who has fallen out of favour with the
0:04:51 > 0:04:59military, it is his wife, Grace Mugabe, who wanted to succeed Mr
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Mugabe, and the politicians who supported her and who we understand
0:05:02 > 0:05:07have been detained by the military. The higher education Minister, he
0:05:07 > 0:05:11ought to have been at the ceremony but was missing, he is one of the
0:05:11 > 0:05:17key allies of Mr Mugabe. Up until now Mrs Mugabe has not been seen in
0:05:17 > 0:05:22public, her whereabouts remain unknown, as well as the former vice
0:05:22 > 0:05:26president who was sacked last week and who fled to South Africa, but we
0:05:26 > 0:05:30understand that he may have returned to the country. So a very delicate
0:05:30 > 0:05:34process is going on here, we understand negotiations are going
0:05:34 > 0:05:38on. Many people would rather Mr Mugabe steps down right now and then
0:05:38 > 0:05:44the succession happens from him to a civilian leader. However, they also
0:05:44 > 0:05:47understand Mr Mugabe has insisted that he wants to complete his term,
0:05:47 > 0:05:51that is until next year. Thank you very much, our correspondent there
0:05:51 > 0:05:54with the latest.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59Theresa May says she hopes the EU will respond positively
0:05:59 > 0:06:02to her efforts to push forward the Brexit talks, as she meets other
0:06:02 > 0:06:12EU leaders at a summit in Sweden.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15But the President of the European Council Donald Tusk said
0:06:15 > 0:06:18it's not a given that negotiations on a trade deal
0:06:18 > 0:06:19will begin next month.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Meanwhile, the Brexit Secretary David Davis has claimed the EU has
0:06:22 > 0:06:24not offered as many 'creative compromises' as the UK to try to
0:06:24 > 0:06:26resolve the current sticking points.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28This report from our political correspondent Leila Nathoo contains
0:06:28 > 0:06:29some flash photography.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32If only the path to Brexit was this clear.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34The Prime Minister in Sweden with a push
0:06:34 > 0:06:39to convince EU leaders to allow negotiations to move on to trade.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Making the case that Britain has already offered enough money
0:06:42 > 0:06:45to separate from the European Union.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49I was clear in my speech in Florence that we will honour our commitments
0:06:49 > 0:06:53but of course we want to move forward together, talking
0:06:53 > 0:06:56about the trade issues and trade partnership for future.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59I've set out a vision for that economic partnership.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04I look forward to the European Union responding positively to that.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Across the continent, her minister in charge of delivering
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Brexit in Berlin to speak to business leaders,
0:07:09 > 0:07:15armed with a warning to EU member states not to put politics
0:07:15 > 0:07:25above prosperity, and telling the BBC it's now Brussels' move.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33On the citizens' rights front, we've made all the running,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36you know, we've made the running in terms of things like the right
0:07:36 > 0:07:40to vote, where the European Union doesn't seem to be able to agree.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Everybody involved, 3 million Europeans in Britain,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44a million Brits abroad, should be able to vote,
0:07:44 > 0:07:46they can't do that, so we have been offering some
0:07:46 > 0:07:47quite creative compromises.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52We haven't always got that back.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57And in Dublin the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson arguing the Irish
0:07:57 > 0:07:59border question can't be settled until negotiations turned
0:07:59 > 0:08:03to future arrangements.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06But he was met with a now-familiar riposte - Britain
0:08:06 > 0:08:12hasn't yet gone far enough.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Yes, we all want to move on to phase two of Brexit negotiations,
0:08:15 > 0:08:19but we are not in a place right now that allows us to do that.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21It's just weeks before European leaders must decide whether
0:08:21 > 0:08:24to give the green light to trade talks beginning, but so far in all
0:08:24 > 0:08:25quarters the view's the same.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28The clock is ticking.
0:08:28 > 0:08:35I hope that we will be able to come to an agreement as far as
0:08:35 > 0:08:37the divorce amount is concerned in December, but work
0:08:37 > 0:08:39has still to be done.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41And so, for now, the diplomatic effort continues.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Both sides are entrenched.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45They know, though, to make a breakthrough,
0:08:45 > 0:08:46something has to give.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Leila Nathoo, BBC News.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50In a moment we'll speak to our political correspondent
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Ben Wright in Westminster, but first to Kevin Connolly
0:08:52 > 0:08:56in Gothenburg, where EU leaders are meeting.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Not for the first time, we keep hearing that phrase, the prop is
0:08:59 > 0:09:06ticking. Yes, it was good to hear one of the
0:09:06 > 0:09:10European Union's greatest hits again, the clock is ticking, the
0:09:10 > 0:09:13catchphrase of this whole process from the European point of view. I
0:09:13 > 0:09:17think behind the scenes, pretty sharp disagreement because the UK is
0:09:17 > 0:09:22failing that, in effect, the next move has to come from Brussels, from
0:09:22 > 0:09:27the EU 27, that the UK has put other is on the table, made compromises,
0:09:27 > 0:09:40and now it is time for the EU to do something in return. That goes
0:09:41 > 0:09:44to the difficulty, which is that the view from EU leaders, with
0:09:44 > 0:09:46increasing clarity, is that this is not a situation where there is a
0:09:46 > 0:09:49mutual opportunity to do a good deal, this is a problem in the
0:09:49 > 0:09:51European perspective of Britain's own making and it is up to Britain
0:09:51 > 0:09:56to come up with the solutions to that problem. Leo Varadkar, the
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Irish Prime Minister, put it pretty clearly and critically when he said
0:09:59 > 0:10:03to me early on, look, I sometimes wonder so far into the Brexit
0:10:03 > 0:10:10process whether the people who were so keen on the Brexit project had
0:10:10 > 0:10:15really thought everything through. So there is no guarantee that the
0:10:15 > 0:10:19progress of the EU -- that the EU wants to see by December is going to
0:10:19 > 0:10:23be there, no guaranteed the UK will get that shift onto talks about
0:10:23 > 0:10:27trade in the future. Kevin, thank you. Let's talk to Ben
0:10:27 > 0:10:32Wright as well. When you listen to that, that is precisely the tone and
0:10:32 > 0:10:36language that Theresa May, David Davis and others do not want to
0:10:36 > 0:10:45hear?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50They don't, but listened to David Davis speaking to the BBC and he has
0:10:50 > 0:10:52an undimmed, affable swagger as he approaches negotiations and he said
0:10:52 > 0:10:55again that in his view the UK had made compromises, they have moved
0:10:55 > 0:10:58far on the question of guaranteeing the right of each use it isn't in
0:10:58 > 0:11:00the UK, for example, and he said smaller EU countries like Holland,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Spain, wanted to crack on with trade talks and transition discussions
0:11:03 > 0:11:07right now and suggested it was France and Germany holding things
0:11:07 > 0:11:11up, a brave thing, I think, for David Davis to say, whereas it is
0:11:11 > 0:11:15clear that so far the EU has remained solid on how they are
0:11:15 > 0:11:28approaching these talks. As Kevin said, the key issue for
0:11:30 > 0:11:33them to get that green light in December and begin to talk about
0:11:33 > 0:11:35trade is to find more clarity from the UK about the financial
0:11:35 > 0:11:38obligations the UK is prepared to stump up. Theresa May said in
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Florence she would effectively put 20 billion euros on the table, the
0:11:40 > 0:11:43EU guarantees it will be more if they are to give the green light to
0:11:43 > 0:11:46talks and that remains the big difference between the big sides. It
0:11:46 > 0:11:48is clearly also buried politically contentious in Westminster, and so
0:11:48 > 0:11:51is the date of Brexit. The Government wants that to be cemented
0:11:51 > 0:11:56into UK law and MPs will vote on that next month, but about two dozen
0:11:56 > 0:12:01of their own Tory MPs are concerned about that and today the Prime
0:12:01 > 0:12:14Minister's spokesman insisted that remained the Government's
0:12:17 > 0:12:20intention, to persuade MPs to vote for that day to be in law, but this
0:12:20 > 0:12:22lunchtime a cross-party group of MPs has said there are real problems
0:12:22 > 0:12:24with that. In their view it could create significant difficulties if
0:12:24 > 0:12:27EU negotiations go down to the wire. Then, thank you very much. Ben
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Wright and Kevin Connelly.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Police are continuing to question a 49-year-old man about the murder
0:12:31 > 0:12:33of a missing teenager from Dorset.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Gaia Pope, who's 19, was last seen in the coastal town
0:12:35 > 0:12:37of Swanage ten days ago.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Ian Palmer reports.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Gaia Pope went missing ten days ago.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Clothes similar to the ones the teenager was wearing
0:12:42 > 0:12:44when she disappeared were found yesterday in coastal fields.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48The area was sealed off by police.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Officers searched the scene in an attempt to discover what happened
0:12:51 > 0:12:54to the missing 19-year-old.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56We continue to investigate whether Gaia has come to harm
0:12:56 > 0:12:59through an act of crime, or whether she is missing,
0:12:59 > 0:13:00and we will continue to do so.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Gaia lives in a village near Swanage.
0:13:03 > 0:13:12She was last seen in Morrison Road by a family friend.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17Shortly before she was captured on camera in a petrol station buying
0:13:17 > 0:13:19ice cream.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Two people were arrested and released pending further enquiries.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Yesterday, in a country park, some clothing was found
0:13:23 > 0:13:25by a member of the public.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30Miss Pope has severe epilepsy and needs regular medication.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Her family say she likes being at home, and her
0:13:32 > 0:13:35absence is hard to bear.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Mum and younger sister Maya are basically holed up in the house,
0:13:39 > 0:13:45trying to keep away from upsetting conversations, keep away from social
0:13:45 > 0:13:48media, keep away from the stuff that has been in the press,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50parts of the press, which has been extremely
0:13:50 > 0:13:51distressing for the family.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53They're just trying to look after each other.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55The man being questioned on suspicion of murder by police has
0:13:55 > 0:13:59been identified by his father as Paul Elsey, who is 49 and lives
0:13:59 > 0:14:00in the Swanage area.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04He's the third person to be arrested.
0:14:04 > 0:14:10Ian Palmer, BBC News.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Our correspondent Jon Donnison is in Swanage.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19Explain what is happening where you are?
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Police said they continue to keep an open mind about what might have
0:14:23 > 0:14:27happened, not ruling out the possibility that Gaia might still be
0:14:27 > 0:14:30alive but obviously becoming increasingly concerned. The focus of
0:14:30 > 0:14:35the search now is this clifftop area behind me. Up to 50 officers
0:14:35 > 0:14:39involved, not just from the police but from the fire service and
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Coastguard, searching the area at the bottom of those clips. This is
0:14:43 > 0:14:46where those items of clothing were found yesterday, items the police
0:14:46 > 0:14:53say were similar to what Gaia was wearing the last time she was seen.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56She was last seen at a property belonging to the family of Paul
0:14:56 > 0:15:06Elsey, who police are continuing to question. The family of a Pope
0:15:06 > 0:15:09obviously extremely upset, concerned. Her father Richard again
0:15:09 > 0:15:14making an appeal this morning for information to come forward, and
0:15:14 > 0:15:17he's saying, look, she did suffer this problem with epilepsy, she
0:15:17 > 0:15:21didn't have her medication, and I think the family still hoping this
0:15:21 > 0:15:25might have been some sort of medical incident rather than anything more
0:15:25 > 0:15:31sinister, but I think the police now are increasingly worried. John
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Gunnarsson in Swanage in Dorset, thank you.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36The former Catalan regional president, Carles Puigdemont,
0:15:36 > 0:15:38is appearing in court in Belgium this lunchtime.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41A judge is considering a request by the Spanish authorities
0:15:41 > 0:15:48to extradite Mr Puigdemont and four former ministers.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51They are wanted in Spain on charges of sedition and corruption
0:15:51 > 0:15:52for declaring independence for Catalonia.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57Damian Grammaticas is following the case in Brussels.
0:15:57 > 0:16:03It is due to begin around now. What is happening?It is under way,
0:16:03 > 0:16:10it began a short time ago. We are at the huge, very grand Court complex
0:16:10 > 0:16:15in the centre of Brussels. Mr Puigdemont slipped in through a side
0:16:15 > 0:16:20door out of view of the cameras, got into the courtroom without being
0:16:20 > 0:16:25seen. His lawyers came in too. The court case began, or the hearing
0:16:25 > 0:16:32began. The Belgian judge is now deciding whether that Spanish
0:16:32 > 0:16:36extradition request, the European arrest warrant, has legal merit,
0:16:36 > 0:16:40whether it stands and whether he will honour it and send Mr cellar
0:16:40 > 0:16:45Carles Puigdemont back. Lawyers are Carles Puigdemont have argued this
0:16:45 > 0:16:53will be a political case, a political prosecution, an attempt by
0:16:53 > 0:16:56the Spanish government to shut down a political opponent. They might
0:16:56 > 0:16:59find that a difficult argument to win because the judge will simply
0:16:59 > 0:17:06examine this on its legal merit. We do know that Mr Puigdemont has said
0:17:06 > 0:17:10if a decision comes, and it could come as early as today, to send him
0:17:10 > 0:17:17back, he will appeal. That could take several levels of appeal,
0:17:17 > 0:17:21perhaps 60 more days. The earliest we could hear is this afternoon,
0:17:21 > 0:17:27possibly within the next week to ten days.Thank you, Damian Grammaticas.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28Our top story this lunchtime...
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe makes his first public appearance
0:17:30 > 0:17:33since the country's army took over.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35And coming up...
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Accessing the archives - the campaign to get us
0:17:37 > 0:17:42unearthing our own family history.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Coming up in sport, the former England women's goalkeeping coach
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Lee Kendall admitted to using a fake Caribbean accent towards striker
0:17:47 > 0:17:53Eni Aluko, before stepping down from his role yesterday.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03A military dog who helped save the lives of British and Afghan
0:18:03 > 0:18:06troops in Afghanistan is to receive the animal equivalent
0:18:06 > 0:18:13of the Victoria Cross - the Dickin Medal.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Mali was seriously wounded in 2012 when he entered a building in Kabul
0:18:17 > 0:18:19under fire to sniff out explosives and insurgents.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20His new handler, Corporal Daniel Hatley, says Mali
0:18:20 > 0:18:25was exceptionally brave.
0:18:25 > 0:18:32Richard Lister reports.
0:18:32 > 0:18:39Meets Mali. He is an eight-year-old Belgian Malabar, and a war hero. He
0:18:39 > 0:18:45has been recognised with the highest award for gallantry and animal can
0:18:45 > 0:18:48get, the Dickin Medal for his bravery in Afghanistan, where he
0:18:48 > 0:18:51helped clear the building overrun by Taliban fighters.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56A massive gun battle hardened stewed with coalition forces, Mali was sent
0:18:56 > 0:19:01in ahead of the troops to search for IEDs and enemy fighters. The noise,
0:19:01 > 0:19:06the dust and smoke, it must have overloaded the senses. He received a
0:19:06 > 0:19:10blast injuries from two grenades thrown down the stairs at him,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13multiple injuries to his face, body and hips.
0:19:13 > 0:19:19Again, still carried on.After treatment, Mali made a full
0:19:19 > 0:19:23recovery. The Ministry of Defence says there is no doubt his work in
0:19:23 > 0:19:28Afghanistan helped save lives. Britain's Armed Forces have some 500
0:19:28 > 0:19:34dogs in a variety of roles, from sniffing out explosives to hunting
0:19:34 > 0:19:44down
0:19:46 > 0:19:47insurgents. Despite the technological advances
0:19:47 > 0:19:49another aspect of the military, dogs, it seems, are irreplaceable.I
0:19:49 > 0:19:52think there is a long way to go before we can get something that
0:19:52 > 0:19:55will do all the great things that dogs can do. The dog is an extremely
0:19:55 > 0:19:58good detector, very agile, it can go on all sorts of places and they are
0:19:58 > 0:20:01very good for morale as well. Mali is now part of the canine
0:20:01 > 0:20:04training Squadron, which teaches dogs and their handlers about their
0:20:04 > 0:20:08role in the military. Soldier and dog face the same
0:20:08 > 0:20:12dangers on the battlefield, and the charity which introduced the Dickin
0:20:12 > 0:20:18Medal exactly 100 years ago says it is important to acknowledge that
0:20:18 > 0:20:22animals can be heroes, too. I think the Dickin Medal is there to
0:20:22 > 0:20:26recognise animals and the devotion to duty. It raises the role that
0:20:26 > 0:20:30they play, the vital role that they play. What I see more and more is
0:20:30 > 0:20:33these citations of the incredible bonds between the handler and the
0:20:33 > 0:20:37animals. In recent years the Dickin Medal has
0:20:37 > 0:20:41been awarded almost exclusively to dogs, a sign of their continuing
0:20:41 > 0:20:45importance to the modern military. But when it was created in the
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Second World War, among the other recipients with 32 pigeons, four
0:20:49 > 0:20:54horses and a ship's cat. It is not entirely clear what Mali
0:20:54 > 0:21:00makes of this medal. Corporal Daniel Hatley says he was quite keen to eat
0:21:00 > 0:21:05it at first. But for those who might owe Mali their lives, it is a
0:21:05 > 0:21:08fitting tribute.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11More than a million credit card users who are struggling financially
0:21:11 > 0:21:13have had their credit limit increased in the last year
0:21:13 > 0:21:15without being asked, according to the charity Citizens
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Advice.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18It's calling on the Chancellor to ban unsolicited increases
0:21:18 > 0:21:19in the Budget next week.
0:21:19 > 0:21:26Our personal finance correspondent Simon Gompertz is here.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30How on earth does this happen? What is going on?It is the last thing
0:21:30 > 0:21:34you need if you are having trouble managing your debts, for your credit
0:21:34 > 0:21:38card company to say here is a whole lot more you can borrow by using
0:21:38 > 0:21:43your card. Cards are useful for people who are good at paying them
0:21:43 > 0:21:46back quickly or have the financial resources so it doesn't matter, but
0:21:46 > 0:21:50to give you an idea of the sort of increases people are being given
0:21:50 > 0:21:57without asking for them, the average is almost £1500, but for one in ten
0:21:57 > 0:22:05it is £3000 or more. What Citizens Advice says is that according to
0:22:05 > 0:22:09their estimates, which is from a survey of people using credit cards,
0:22:09 > 0:22:131.4 million who are struggling financially are being given these
0:22:13 > 0:22:19increases without their consent. And so is anything going to be done
0:22:19 > 0:22:22to change that system? There is a voluntary code of
0:22:22 > 0:22:27conduct, we will hear more details about that in a few weeks. That is
0:22:27 > 0:22:32basically the card companies saying if they see that within people's
0:22:32 > 0:22:36monthly repayments most of it is being swallowed up by interest or
0:22:36 > 0:22:40charges over a 12 month period, people will not be offered a higher
0:22:40 > 0:22:45credit limit or given one. But what Citizens Advice says is it would be
0:22:45 > 0:22:52so much easier to have a clear ban on unsolicited credit card limit
0:22:52 > 0:22:56increases for everyone, that is what they are asking the Chancellor to
0:22:56 > 0:22:59bring in. Thank you, Simon Gompertz.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01The electric car maker, Tesla, has unveiled
0:23:01 > 0:23:04the prototype of a new lorry - the latest in its growing
0:23:04 > 0:23:04range of vehicles.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07The company's chief executive, Elon Musk, says the vehicle
0:23:07 > 0:23:09could travel 500 miles on a single charge.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12He also unveiled a new sports car, which he said would make traditional
0:23:12 > 0:23:13vehicles look like a steam engine.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Our business correspondent Theo Leggett reports.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20It certainly looked the part - emerging gleaming out of the
0:23:20 > 0:23:25darkness, appearing every inch the king of the road.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28This is the new Tesla Semi, a big rig trailer that
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Silicon Valley entrepreneur Elon Musk
0:23:29 > 0:23:31thinks can revolutionise the
0:23:31 > 0:23:34haulage industry.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Tesla has made its name producing high-end electric
0:23:36 > 0:23:40cars, and this is an all electric truck.
0:23:40 > 0:23:45So will it leave conventional lorries struggling in its wake?
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Tesla has high hopes for its new zero emissions lorry.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51For a start, it will be equipped with self-driving technology so that
0:23:51 > 0:23:54one-day convoys of trucks will be able to
0:23:54 > 0:23:56travel close together.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58In theory, that should reduce running costs and
0:23:58 > 0:23:59improve safety.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Tesla says it will also be cheaper to run per mile than
0:24:02 > 0:24:04conventional models.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08But it will only have a range of 500 miles.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Existing lorries can do double that on a single tank of diesel.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16And the technology as yet is still relatively unproven.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Tesla will be able to make its electric Semi.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23Whether they'll be able to make it at scale and to the production
0:24:23 > 0:24:26timetables that they set out is very much in question.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30They haven't been able to do it on any of their
0:24:30 > 0:24:31models so far.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Assuming the new lorry can be produced in numbers, will
0:24:34 > 0:24:36hauliers actually want to buy it?
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Tesla is promising low running costs and a high degree of driver comfort,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41but that may not be enough.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43The problem with electric lorries is the
0:24:43 > 0:24:44price point.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46A new lorry, a diesel lorry, costs us £85,000 each at the
0:24:46 > 0:24:48moment.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50These new Teslas are probably going to be around the
0:24:50 > 0:24:52£200,000 mark.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56That's way beyond the budget of most hauliers in the UK.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Tesla is already struggling to turn itself from a niche luxury car-maker
0:24:59 > 0:25:04into a mass-market producer with its new Model 3.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07And hidden in the back of the electric lorry was yet
0:25:07 > 0:25:10another new project, a hi-tech roadster which Tesla says will be
0:25:10 > 0:25:14the quickest production car on the planet.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Now analysts are worried the company may be trying to go too for
0:25:17 > 0:25:18too fast.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Theo Leggett, BBC News.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Australia have retained the Women's Ashes, with an emphatic
0:25:24 > 0:25:26six-wicket victory over England in the first Twenty20
0:25:26 > 0:25:30international in Sydney.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Victory gave the holders an 8-4 lead in the series,
0:25:32 > 0:25:37meaning England can only draw if they win the final two matches.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Our sports correspondent Andy Swiss was watching.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50England knew it was win or bust for the Ashes hopes. Not the moment for
0:25:50 > 0:25:54one of the most chaotic starts you will see. Second ball, Heather
0:25:54 > 0:26:00Knight caught behind. Or was she? The catch seemingly taken in front
0:26:00 > 0:26:04of the stumps. Knight was reprieved before another change of mind, and
0:26:04 > 0:26:10was out again. Confused? England were, as they utterly disintegrated
0:26:10 > 0:26:15in a flash. 16-4, the Ashes surely over. Then a
0:26:15 > 0:26:19recovery thanks to Australian butterfingers and are battling
0:26:19 > 0:26:27half-century from Danielle Wyatt. Their total of 132 at least gave
0:26:27 > 0:26:30them a chance. But it proved a mere flicker as Beth Mooney of Australia
0:26:30 > 0:26:33said about despatching them into the Sydney night. A couple of wickets
0:26:33 > 0:26:37briefly revived England's hopes but ultimately only postpone the
0:26:37 > 0:26:40inevitable, as Mooney struck the runs to retain the Ashes. They did
0:26:40 > 0:26:44it with two games to spare. England might be the world
0:26:44 > 0:26:47champions, but in this series they were second best.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52You could see it on the faces of the girls, there is a lot of emotion
0:26:52 > 0:26:55around tonight. Disappointed with the way we played today, I thought
0:26:55 > 0:27:07we have a chance when we were going from
0:27:15 > 0:27:1716-4 to get 130, but credit to Australia, they have played better
0:27:17 > 0:27:19cricket than is this series. With the men's Ashes starting next
0:27:19 > 0:27:21week, for Australian fans, plenty to cheer.Spectacular, I can't wait
0:27:21 > 0:27:24until next Thursday to win it again. Twice we will be doing it this year.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27A great venue, the girls are playing such a great Stander, it is awesome.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29The men's coming up, it will be great.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32What a time to be Australian.So a year in which England scaled the
0:27:32 > 0:27:35heights of a World Cup win has ended in disappointment. The first triumph
0:27:35 > 0:27:39of the winter has gone Australia's way.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Now many of us would like to clear out the clutter at home -
0:27:42 > 0:27:44and now the National Archives says sorting through old memorabilia
0:27:44 > 0:27:47could unearth previously untold family stories.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49It's launching a campaign to get more of us interested
0:27:49 > 0:27:51in researching our history.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53As part of this, one family memento has gone
0:27:53 > 0:27:57on public display in Reading.
0:27:57 > 0:28:02The treasured item is a frame carved from a First World War
0:28:02 > 0:28:03British Army biscuit.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Robert Hall explains.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08For many of us, this is the archive.
0:28:08 > 0:28:14A loft or a cupboard or a set of shelves where we tend to put
0:28:14 > 0:28:16family stuff away and then forget about it.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18But what if amongst all these objects there was something
0:28:18 > 0:28:20which told a bigger story about a family member,
0:28:20 > 0:28:27and perhaps took us on a journey to something extraordinary?
0:28:27 > 0:28:30This is Jeremy Collingwood.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33An object he found at home is now a star exhibit in Reading Museum.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36It looks like an ordinary framed photo of his grandfather,
0:28:36 > 0:28:40but the frame is a biscuit.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Reading used to be home to one of the most famous
0:28:43 > 0:28:44names in biscuit making.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46During the First World War, Huntley and Palmer provided
0:28:46 > 0:28:49what looked like rather solid snacks for the troops.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51So solid, in fact, that some soldiers carved them
0:28:51 > 0:28:55and sent them home as gifts.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58In the drawer at home there was this...
0:28:58 > 0:29:00I suppose a keepsake that Mum really liked,
0:29:00 > 0:29:02and would show me, of her father.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06And he'd sent it back to his mother to say how much he loved his mother.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07And you look at the...
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Look at that picture, the scaredness in his eyes,
0:29:10 > 0:29:12the worry and concern.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Yeah, he's wanting to show his mother he is all right.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17I mean, it just connects in a really human way.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21If you are following a trail, you might well end up here.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24The National Archives store 11 million paper records
0:29:24 > 0:29:27going back 1000 years.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Every day, hundreds of documents are brought from 2500
0:29:30 > 0:29:35kilometres of shelving or read as digital copies.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39What we have here is a spy file from the Second World War.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43This file contains the case of Karl Friedrich Miller,
0:29:43 > 0:29:45the evidence that is collected against him includes
0:29:45 > 0:29:47a number of letters.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50You will see across the top here what is written in black
0:29:50 > 0:29:53is what he wanted you to see, and what is in gold was hidden
0:29:53 > 0:29:58by the secret or invisible ink.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01If you scan through the file and click through a number of cases
0:30:01 > 0:30:04you will even find the lemon he used to read those letters.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08This is an example of a file relating to suffrage and women's
0:30:08 > 0:30:11rights, this is the case of a woman called Hilda Burkett,
0:30:11 > 0:30:15who went by the alias of Byron, she was one of the first women to be
0:30:15 > 0:30:18forcibly fed in prison and she talks about how she's willing
0:30:18 > 0:30:21to give her life if needed, it's a really great example of one
0:30:21 > 0:30:25of the personal stories that we have here at the archives.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27From tomorrow, archives nationwide will be asking us to get involved
0:30:27 > 0:30:32and to explore these amazing places.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Who knows, the next big discovery could be yours.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Robert Hall, BBC News.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45Time for a look at the weather.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Here's Louise Lear.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51Here's Louise Lear.
0:30:51 > 0:30:56It was cold this morning, I did not want to say I told you so, but it
0:30:56 > 0:31:01was cold. Lots of -4, cold and frosty but a glorious day for many,
0:31:01 > 0:31:06with lots of sunshine coming through. Some beautiful Weather
0:31:06 > 0:31:10Watchers' pictures into the afternoon. Temperatures ten or 11
0:31:10 > 0:31:13degrees. With the light winds and sunshine that is not bad, but it is
0:31:13 > 0:31:18not for all. Looking at the satellite picture, high cloud and to
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Wales and Northern Ireland, further north shower clouds moving to
0:31:20 > 0:31:25Scotland and northern England, accompanied by gale force gusts.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Some of the show is frequent, heavy with hail and thunder and even snow
0:31:29 > 0:31:32to the higher ground. They will continue to the rest of
0:31:32 > 0:31:36the afternoon, one or two perhaps into north-west England but a
0:31:36 > 0:31:41beautiful afternoon for many. Highest values likely of around
0:31:41 > 0:31:45seven to 10 degrees. Down on yesterday but hopefully the sunshine
0:31:45 > 0:31:48will compensate a little. As we go through the night we keep a
0:31:48 > 0:31:52strong, gale force gusts in the north, and the news and showers keep
0:31:52 > 0:31:57coming. Elsewhere it becomes messy, we are going to see a bit of drizzly
0:31:57 > 0:32:01rain pushing into Wales in south-west England. Not quite as
0:32:01 > 0:32:05cold, around four to 6 degrees to the west. We might see light
0:32:05 > 0:32:10frosting clear skies but not the hard frost that we had this morning.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13It is the meteor showers throughout the night, that is interesting
0:32:13 > 0:32:18because as we keep the clear skies and there is a new moon, in Loupe --
0:32:18 > 0:32:23rural spots you might see a good chance of catching a good glimpse.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28But back to the mess that is Saturday. Plowden drizzly rain
0:32:28 > 0:32:31across Wales, south-west England will eventually have sunshine into
0:32:31 > 0:32:34the South East. The best chance on Saturday of seeing sunshine.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38Northern England and Scotland away from the showers to the far
0:32:38 > 0:32:43north-east, around 6 degrees here. Milder with a cloud and drizzle.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47Those are your choices. Not much change as we move out of Saturday
0:32:47 > 0:32:50into Sunday, keeping the mild and damp flow towards the south-west
0:32:50 > 0:32:59with outbreaks of light rain, clearer skies into the North. The
0:32:59 > 0:33:01north-east looks likely to cling onto the cold Dhaka, the milder air
0:33:01 > 0:33:04trying to squeeze in birds really taking its time. The weather front
0:33:04 > 0:33:09not moving very far very fast, by Sunday it looks likely we will keep
0:33:09 > 0:33:12the clearer, colder weather the further east you are, cloudy but
0:33:12 > 0:33:14milder to the West.
0:33:14 > 0:33:19A reminder of our main story this lunchtime...
