:00:11. > :00:18.The tabloids on trial, two newspapers are fined for contempt

:00:18. > :00:22.of court, many more have to pay out for liable. Chris Jefferies was

:00:22. > :00:27.briefly arrested on suspicion of murder, but freed without charge.

:00:27. > :00:31.The Attorney General hits out at how the Sun and the Mirror covered

:00:31. > :00:34.the story. These two newspapers lost the plot and engaged in a

:00:34. > :00:40.feeding frenzy over the new year period, in which they were trying,

:00:40. > :00:44.the copy became more extreme, as each day went by. A total of eight

:00:45. > :00:49.newspapers have to pay substantial damages for libelling Mr Jefferies.

:00:49. > :00:52.Chris Jefferies is the latest victim of the regular witch-hunt

:00:52. > :00:56.and character assassination conducted by the worst elements of

:00:56. > :01:00.the British tabloid media. Also on tonight's programme:

:01:00. > :01:05.Norway grieves, as the first funerals take place after last

:01:05. > :01:13.week's massacre. Formula One, some live race also no

:01:13. > :01:16.longer be free for TV viewers, as BSkyB shares the rights.

:01:16. > :01:21.Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall have one last rehearsal before the big

:01:21. > :01:31.day. Homes and businesses under threat,

:01:31. > :01:48.

:01:48. > :01:53.the Government's urge today re- Good evening, welcome to the BBC

:01:53. > :01:57.News. Tabloid newspapers found themselves in the dock today. The

:01:57. > :02:01.Daily Mirror from fined and the Sun, after printing details about the

:02:01. > :02:04.landlord of Joanna Yeates, murdered last year. Chris Jefferies was

:02:04. > :02:07.arrested last December, but freed without charge. The Attorney

:02:07. > :02:13.General said the newspaper's copy could have seriously prejudiced the

:02:13. > :02:17.course of justice. The Sun, and The Mirror and six other newspapers had

:02:17. > :02:22.to pay substantial damages to Mr Jefferies for libel.

:02:22. > :02:27.He was the innocent man who was taken apart by the tabloids. Chris

:02:27. > :02:31.Jefferies was vilified by the Sun and the Daily Mirror, that was the

:02:31. > :02:35.damaging judgment from the Lord Chief Justice today. He said if

:02:35. > :02:39.Chris Jefferies faced trial, these articles would have created

:02:39. > :02:42.substantial risks to the course of justice. The articles were

:02:42. > :02:46.published as Chris Jefferies was under arrest, suspected of

:02:46. > :02:52.murdering Joanna Yeates. While he was in custody, his past was

:02:52. > :02:55.dissected, his behaviour questioned. The Daily Mirror, linked him to an

:02:55. > :02:59.earlier murder and paedophile offences. So great was the concern

:02:59. > :03:03.over these articles, that it was the Government's chief law officer

:03:03. > :03:08.who prosecuted the papers. When Mr Jefferies was arrested, these two

:03:08. > :03:13.newspapers completely lost the plot. They just went on a sort of

:03:13. > :03:18.extraordinary frol ic of villification of Mr Jefferies -

:03:18. > :03:22.frolick of villification of Mr Jefferiess, it was outrageous.

:03:22. > :03:27.Joanna Yeates's disappearance dominated the headlines over

:03:27. > :03:31.Christmas and new year, a neighbour, Vincent Tabak, has admitted killing

:03:32. > :03:37.her, he faces court in the autumn. Today at the High Court the Sun was

:03:37. > :03:41.fined �18 though, the Mirror, �50 though. For both the financial

:03:41. > :03:46.penalties did not end there. In a separate hearing, they were among

:03:47. > :03:50.eight newspapers who agreed to pay out substantial libel damages to

:03:50. > :03:55.Christopher Jefferies, the actual amount remains private. All the

:03:55. > :04:01.papers apologised to Mr Jefferies, who wasn't in court. His lawyer

:04:01. > :04:04.spoke to him. Christopher Jefferies is the latest victim of the witch-

:04:04. > :04:07.hunt and character assassination, conducted by the worst elements of

:04:07. > :04:11.the British media. Many of the stories published in these

:04:11. > :04:15.newspapers are designed to monster the individual. The coverage of the

:04:15. > :04:19.Joanna Yeates case could become a legal watershed for newsroom, say

:04:19. > :04:23.some experts. The Mirror is planning to appeal against the

:04:23. > :04:27.contempt of court real rule - ruling, but this is seen as a

:04:27. > :04:32.pivitol day for the press. It is extremely expensive day for sectors

:04:33. > :04:36.of the press, with not only the contempt of court fine, but in

:04:36. > :04:39.addition the libel and court costs which were substantial. This is a

:04:39. > :04:42.terrible month for the tabloids, after the extremes of the phone

:04:42. > :04:46.hacking scandal, now they are making more headlines, with

:04:46. > :04:50.questions about the judgment of some of those at the top of the

:04:50. > :04:53.newspaper trade. The Attorney General's statement

:04:53. > :04:57.has shone another negative light on tabloid journalism, now everything

:04:57. > :05:03.from the techniques employed by the journalists to the impact on the

:05:03. > :05:09.victims is under scrutiny. After the phone hacking you would

:05:09. > :05:13.think it couldn't get any worse the tabloid, now this? Terrible month

:05:13. > :05:17.and dreadful day. Humiliating for the newspapers who have had to pay

:05:17. > :05:21.out the libel payments to Christopher Jefferies. Embarrassing

:05:21. > :05:25.and humiliating for the newspapers found guilty of contempt of court.

:05:25. > :05:28.A contempt of court that was wholly theoretical, it is supposed to

:05:28. > :05:32.protect against newspapers prejudicing a future trial, there

:05:32. > :05:35.was never going to be a future trial of Christopher Jefferies,

:05:35. > :05:39.because he's entirely innocent. The Attorney General has decided to

:05:39. > :05:44.step in and read the newspapers the riot act. Will it make a

:05:44. > :05:48.difference? Well he has other sanctions to apply, an editor went

:05:48. > :05:50.to jail before for contempt of court, we haven't seen that

:05:50. > :05:54.yesterday. That other tabloid and the News of the World and the

:05:54. > :05:57.hacking scandal, any news there? Revelations that not only Sara

:05:57. > :06:00.Payne, but also the policeman who investigated her daughter's

:06:01. > :06:05.disappearance and murder may have had his phone hacked. And then a

:06:05. > :06:09.statement today issued by his solicitor on behalf of Glenn

:06:09. > :06:13.Mulcaire, he was the private detective who conducted most of the

:06:14. > :06:16.phone hacking for News of the World, as far as we are aware. He said he

:06:16. > :06:19.acted as an employee on the instruction of others. Any

:06:19. > :06:24.suggestion that he acted in such matters unilaterally is untrue, if

:06:24. > :06:27.you read between the lines of that, what he's doing is throwing this

:06:27. > :06:35.straight back at the News of the World and News International. So

:06:35. > :06:40.the spotlight wings back to them. BSkyB, of which Rupert Murdoch's

:06:40. > :06:44.News Corporation is the major shareholder, has reported operating

:06:44. > :06:47.profits of over one billion pounds. The board gave unanimous backing to

:06:47. > :06:51.James Murdoch to stay on, despite questions being raised in the light

:06:51. > :06:55.of the phone hacking scandal, and his evidence given to MPs. There is

:06:55. > :06:58.flash photography in this report from our business editor.

:06:58. > :07:04.On the menu for British Sky Broadcasting today, annual results

:07:04. > :07:08.which showed revenues or income of �6.6 billion, up 16%. Which contoll

:07:08. > :07:12.dates his position as the biggest - consolidates his position as the

:07:12. > :07:18.biggest British broadcaster, but for its chairman, James Murdoch,

:07:18. > :07:21.life hasn't been rosy, because he's also chairman of the arm that owned

:07:21. > :07:24.News of the World. Given the criticism of News International and

:07:24. > :07:28.James Murdoch, why did the board take the view that James Murdoch

:07:28. > :07:32.shouldn't stand down as chairman? The vast majority of shareholders

:07:32. > :07:36.are very supportive of James, they recognise his contribution. They

:07:36. > :07:41.want to see the appropriate system of governance and independence at

:07:41. > :07:44.Sky, which we will have and continue to have. But he has strong

:07:44. > :07:49.support with shareholders and in the business and from the board.

:07:49. > :07:56.But evidence from these two former colleagues of James Murdoch, Colin

:07:56. > :08:00.Myler and Tom Crone, could weaken James Murdoch, depending on this

:08:00. > :08:04.committee rules over a disagreement between them, about when James

:08:04. > :08:07.Murdoch knew about the extent of phone hacking at the News of the

:08:07. > :08:10.World. Colin Myler and Tom Crone have made statements that the

:08:10. > :08:14.evidence given to the committee by James Murdoch was incorrect. We

:08:14. > :08:17.want more details of that, we want them to supply more information.

:08:17. > :08:22.Once we have that it is very likely we will want to put that to James

:08:22. > :08:26.Murdoch and hear his response. What's striking is all the bad

:08:26. > :08:32.publicity about what happened at BSkyB's biggest shareholder, News

:08:32. > :08:35.Corporation, doesn't seem to have harmed BSkyB. In a pretty weak

:08:35. > :08:40.economy, British Sky Broadcasting pushed up its operating profits by

:08:40. > :08:44.more than a billion pounds. It ended the year with 10.3 million

:08:45. > :08:49.paying customers, and it is handing back to shareholders �750 million

:08:49. > :08:52.in cash. The moment James Murdoch's more

:08:52. > :08:56.famous father, Rupert Murdoch received a foam pie in the face,

:08:56. > :09:00.delivered by this protestor, who today pleaded guilty to assault.

:09:00. > :09:03.would just like to say this has been the most humble day of my life.

:09:03. > :09:07.What if the Murdoch's find something much worse than foam

:09:07. > :09:11.sticking to them, would that persuade the regulator that BSkyB

:09:11. > :09:15.is no longer fit and proper to hold a broadcasting license. I strongly

:09:15. > :09:19.refute any suggestion that BSkyB is not an appropriate, fit and proper

:09:19. > :09:24.owner of a broadcast license. The license is held by the company. And

:09:24. > :09:27.the company is controlled by an majority of independent directors

:09:27. > :09:32.at board level, we have strong systems of control, and strong

:09:32. > :09:35.standards, right throughout Sky. Which implies that if the going

:09:35. > :09:39.gets stuff for James and Rupert Murdoch, the independent directors

:09:39. > :09:45.of Sky, would try to put distance between themselves and the

:09:45. > :09:48.business's founders, the Murdochs. Two men have been seriously injured

:09:49. > :09:56.after their light aircraft crashed into a residential area in Greater

:09:56. > :10:01.Manchester. The plane caught fire as it landed between two houses in

:10:01. > :10:05.Salford. The injured pilot and passenger were taken to hospital to

:10:05. > :10:09.be treated for severe burns. President Obama has warned America

:10:09. > :10:12.is in danger of losing its top credit rating if a decision to

:10:12. > :10:16.solve the debt problem isn't agreed soon. The President has urged

:10:16. > :10:19.Americans to keep up the pressure on Republicans and Democrats for a

:10:19. > :10:23.compromise on a deal to raise the debt limit.

:10:23. > :10:28.The first funeral has taken place of the many victims killed a week

:10:28. > :10:33.ago in Norway, by the gunman Anders Behring Breivik. Bano Rashid was an

:10:33. > :10:40.18-year-old Iraqi Kurd who came to Norway as a refugee in 1996.

:10:40. > :10:47.Hundreds of people have attended a memorial service in Oslo, given by

:10:47. > :10:52.the Labour Party there. The coffin, containing the body of

:10:52. > :10:56.18-year-old, Bano Rashid, it is brought out from church, to be laid

:10:56. > :11:03.to rest. Her family, originally from Iraq, mourning the loss of a

:11:04. > :11:09.daughter, who had been a leading light in the Muslim community here.

:11:09. > :11:14.Exactly a week ago, Bano Rashid was shot dead, along with more than 60

:11:15. > :11:21.others, attend ago youth camp on the island of Utoeya. She had

:11:21. > :11:29.dreamt of becoming a politician. So many friends and relatives came to

:11:29. > :11:34.the funeral, that hundreds had to stand outside. She will be missed,

:11:34. > :11:41.the youth can use her as an example to go into politics, or follow

:11:41. > :11:46.their dreams, because she was well on her way to becoming a perfect,

:11:46. > :11:50.perfect human being. This is just the first of at least 76 funerals

:11:50. > :11:54.due to take place in the coming days. And while people mourn here,

:11:54. > :11:59.thousands have been taking part in memorials being held in the capital,

:11:59. > :12:03.Oslo. Members of the governing Labour

:12:03. > :12:08.Party, gathered for an emotional reunion, the party, the target of

:12:08. > :12:16.both attacks last Friday, the summer camp on Utoeya Island, had

:12:16. > :12:20.been for its youth wing. The Prime Minister, Jens

:12:20. > :12:26.Stoltenberg, said many had their finest young people were now dead.

:12:26. > :12:32.But in unity, he said, they will manage to go on.

:12:32. > :12:35.And as they mourned, the police took the man responsible for the

:12:35. > :12:40.atrocity, Anders Behring Breivik, for a second round of questioning.

:12:40. > :12:45.But so far they have not found any evidence he was part of a network

:12:45. > :12:51.of extremists, as he claims. And so far there is no sign his

:12:51. > :12:56.killing spree will deepen divisions within Norwegian society. At

:12:56. > :13:06.today's funeral, Christians and Muslims, immigrants and ethnic

:13:06. > :13:07.

:13:07. > :13:12.Norwegians, side-by-side. The top story tonight:

:13:12. > :13:17.Tabloids in the dock over last year's arrest of Chris Jefferies

:13:17. > :13:23.two, papers are fined for contempt, many more to pay out for libel.

:13:23. > :13:33.Coming up: Stuart Broad leads an England

:13:33. > :13:34.

:13:34. > :13:44.fightback in the second test against India at Trent Bridge.

:13:44. > :13:49.

:13:49. > :13:53.Next season Lewis Hamilton dominates practice in Hungary.

:13:53. > :13:56.The food crisis in Somalia, that is threatening thousands of lives is

:13:56. > :14:01.deepening. With the United Nations warning that the worst is yet to

:14:02. > :14:06.come. Many of the people affected by the familiar anyone are crossing

:14:06. > :14:12.the border from Somalia to the refugee camp in Kenya. We report

:14:12. > :14:18.from there. And still they come. Somalia's

:14:18. > :14:28.weary exodus, 1500 a day, every day. Arriving at this refugee camp in

:14:28. > :14:31.

:14:31. > :14:34.Kenya. Their only luggage, empty water containers. Yeah, he's hot.

:14:34. > :14:38.Two-year-old Mohammed has diarrhoea and a fever. His mother tells me

:14:38. > :14:42.she has been walking with him for three weeks.

:14:42. > :14:49.As the you drought bites into Somalia, the condition of those

:14:49. > :14:52.escaping is getting much worse. That is putting extra pressure on

:14:52. > :15:00.the aid operation here at the border, the number of children on

:15:00. > :15:05.the danger list at this hospital has doubled in the past fortnight.

:15:05. > :15:10.Aiden, is three, his mother died on the way here. Things are getting

:15:10. > :15:13.worse. Do you have enough to cope with it here? Right now we are

:15:13. > :15:16.struggling, in terms of the human resources and supplies, because the

:15:16. > :15:20.numbers are increasing quite quickly. What we are trying to do

:15:20. > :15:26.is try to mobilise resources so we can bring in more doctors, more

:15:26. > :15:30.nurses and buy a bit more of the medical commodities that we need.

:15:30. > :15:33.And where to house everyone? The camps are bursting. Kenya doesn't

:15:33. > :15:37.want refugees to move into this permanent settlement in case they

:15:37. > :15:42.stay for good. The solution, at least for now,

:15:42. > :15:45.comes in the form of these tents, thousands of them have just been

:15:45. > :15:54.put up by the United Nations, there is one for each family here, and

:15:54. > :15:58.they are filling up fast. Showing me round today is a young

:15:58. > :16:03.Somali who fled here when war first came to his country. He has lived

:16:03. > :16:08.in this camp for 20 years. Will he ever go home? I'm really optimistic

:16:08. > :16:16.that in the near future everything will be back to normal, and that we

:16:16. > :16:21.will be citizens in our own country. But while one man dreams, another

:16:21. > :16:26.Somali family arrives, to set up camp in the wilderness. Here the

:16:26. > :16:35.outside world can treat the symptoms of famine and conflict,

:16:35. > :16:41.but it can't fix Somalia. Formula One fan also no longer be

:16:41. > :16:45.able to watch all of the races live on the BBC from next year. The

:16:45. > :16:50.corporation will share the broadcasting rights with Sky Sports,

:16:50. > :16:54.it will be the first time the public will have to pay for

:16:54. > :16:57.watching all of the races live. When news of this surprise deal

:16:57. > :17:03.broke earlier on this morning t appeared to be an arrangement that

:17:03. > :17:08.allowed the BBC to continue its F1 coverage, and make savings of an

:17:08. > :17:12.estimated �30 million a season. It comes very much at a cost. It

:17:12. > :17:16.represent as major scaling back of a popular and previously exclusive

:17:16. > :17:21.service. From next season until 2018 the BBC will show just half of

:17:21. > :17:25.the F1 calendar, as it happens, alongside prime time highlights

:17:25. > :17:29.coverage. In contrast Sky will show practice, qualifying and the races

:17:29. > :17:34.themselves as they happen throughout the racing year. It is

:17:34. > :17:38.an overtaking manoeuvre, that is proving controversial.

:17:38. > :17:44.Lewis Hamilton wins the German Grand Prix. It is moments like this

:17:44. > :17:47.that have helped to make Formula One a ratings hit for the BBC. Now,

:17:47. > :17:50.despite ever-growing audience, the corporation will share the action.

:17:50. > :17:55.Today the teams have been practising ahead of this weekend's

:17:55. > :18:04.Hungarian Grand Prix. All the talk was of Sky claiming poll for the

:18:04. > :18:08.sport's coveted TV rights. We don't want to lose the bid, they do - the

:18:08. > :18:14.Beeb, they do fantastic job, we have tried to find way to keep them

:18:14. > :18:18.in, and generally now with BBC and Sky, the public will get much

:18:18. > :18:22.better coverage. You couldn't ask for better coverage than the BBC

:18:22. > :18:27.give, but you will have the same with Sky but a lot more coverage.

:18:27. > :18:32.The BBC will still show certain key races live, the British Grand Prix

:18:32. > :18:36.here at Silverstone, the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix, and

:18:36. > :18:41.the concluding race of each season. It means now, for the first time,

:18:41. > :18:46.viewers won't be able to watch every Grand Prix live on free--to--

:18:46. > :18:50.air competition. Here at the world of motor sport, the reaction from

:18:50. > :18:55.the fans was negative? People will get annoyed and go off it, it won't

:18:55. > :18:59.help the sport and they will lose fans. It is the same as Wimbledon,

:18:59. > :19:03.can you see that going to Sky, there is so much that England has

:19:03. > :19:07.got that is already taken way from them with Sky, as in football and

:19:07. > :19:12.anything else. It is something we should pay for and the BBC should

:19:12. > :19:19.keep. If we are not able to watch all of the season or all the races

:19:19. > :19:25.that is pretty disappointing. it make you buy Sky? No. F1 fits

:19:25. > :19:28.into a wider portfolio of BBC sports rights. Other prized assets

:19:28. > :19:31.include Wimbledon, the Grand National, and the Olympics.

:19:31. > :19:36.Historic high-profile events that bring the corporation together. The

:19:36. > :19:40.corporation must make 20% savings t appears no area is immune from cuts.

:19:40. > :19:43.We have to be pragmatic, we have to be flexible and adaptable, we are

:19:43. > :19:50.operating in a very tough financial climate, there are lots of

:19:50. > :19:54.pressures on the BBC to deliver savings, this new deal does that.

:19:55. > :19:58.Before today's news, there had been speculation that the BBC may be

:19:58. > :20:05.forced to drop its F1 coverage all together. Now this joint deal has

:20:05. > :20:11.been struck, it will be for the sports' fans to give their verdict

:20:11. > :20:17.in the years ahead. Sky have tried to reassure fans by stressing there

:20:17. > :20:22.will be no ad breaks during their sports sessions. But with a company

:20:22. > :20:26.that relies and a sport that relies so much on sponsors are are doubts

:20:26. > :20:31.about that. This is an example of maximising

:20:31. > :20:35.revenue and audience reach. The Ministry of Defence is to cut

:20:36. > :20:40.another 7,000 civilian jobs on top of the 25,000 posts announced last

:20:40. > :20:44.year. A letter seen by the Guardian Newspaper, and sent to all civilian

:20:44. > :20:46.staff, says the cuts are necessary and concedes the move will raise

:20:51. > :20:54.numbers down by around a third over a period of nine years.

:20:54. > :20:57.After a convincing win at Lords last week, England's cricketers

:20:57. > :21:02.have struggled on the first day of the second test against India at

:21:02. > :21:08.Trent Bridge. In front of a full house, the home side suffered an

:21:08. > :21:14.early collapse, only reaching 221 all-out, thanks to a spirited

:21:14. > :21:20.fightback, thanks to Stuart Broad. A short time ago India were 61 in

:21:20. > :21:25.rely. After England's Gero nimo spirit

:21:25. > :21:31.took them to a first victory at Lords, this caught the public's

:21:31. > :21:35.imagination. There is a feeling that this team is on the March.

:21:35. > :21:40.thank you very much. Overcast, not a high-scoring game, fingers

:21:40. > :21:50.crossed hopefully we can turn it round. After losing the toss they

:21:50. > :21:50.

:21:50. > :21:55.were in retreat. The reviews that they wanted would have saved them.

:21:55. > :22:01.Sreesanth striking in his first over. Kevin Pietersen was as

:22:01. > :22:06.confident as ever, after 202 he might well be in the first test. He

:22:06. > :22:13.had hardly time to digest lunch before being back in the pavilion.

:22:13. > :22:19.Wickets were flying, Praveen Kumar was brought back, the swing bowler

:22:19. > :22:24.had Morgan drapped LBW. Matthew Prior the latest to be done by

:22:25. > :22:30.swinging ball. Bresnan led a brief resistance, Bell followed. England

:22:30. > :22:35.now 124-8. But having seen his colleagues humbled by India all day,

:22:35. > :22:43.Stuart Broad finally wrested some initiative. He scored a vital 50,

:22:43. > :22:49.taking his side to 2221 all out. James Anderson's first all was

:22:49. > :22:51.telling. Although this is a long way from the glory of Lords,

:22:51. > :22:56.eventually they have produced some of the spirit.

:22:56. > :23:01.Now you wait for years, then two come along at once. Tomorrow the

:23:02. > :23:05.second Royal Wedding of the summer takes place, as Zara Phillips ties

:23:05. > :23:10.the knot with Mike Tindall. Their wedding is expected to be more down

:23:10. > :23:15.to earth than the grand affair enjoyed by William and Kate. It

:23:15. > :23:19.will be a grand fair at Canongate Kirk. The wedding may be tomorrow,

:23:19. > :23:23.but the celebrations are about to start, aren't they? Yes, the guests

:23:23. > :23:27.have started arriving, we are told the happy couple have left the

:23:27. > :23:30.palace and are expected here within a few minutes time. There may be up

:23:30. > :23:37.to 400 guests here this evening, among them many members from the

:23:37. > :23:41.world of sport, and members of the royal family as well. What a venue

:23:41. > :23:45.for what is likely to be a very big celebration.

:23:45. > :23:49.They are a low-key couple, who had been planning for a private

:23:49. > :23:53.ceremony, but this was a very public entrance for Zara Phillips

:23:53. > :23:57.and Mike Tindall, as they arrived for a final run through for their

:23:57. > :24:02.wedding. It has taken them eight years to get to this point. She was

:24:02. > :24:06.the royal wild child with a tongue piercing and he was a tough rugby

:24:06. > :24:11.player from Yorkshire. Introduced in 200 by rugby fan, Prince Harry,

:24:11. > :24:16.they seemed an unlikely couple. But together they have become sporting

:24:16. > :24:21.royalty, she a World Championship eventer, he captain of England. And

:24:21. > :24:24.when they got engaged last year, in typical style, the laidback pair

:24:24. > :24:29.posed for official pictures wearing jeans. In fact, they are so laid

:24:29. > :24:33.back, their families say they found it hard to fix the timings for the

:24:33. > :24:37.wedding. I think there were a number of factors on the date,

:24:37. > :24:42.probably had quite a bit to do with the start of the England warm-up

:24:42. > :24:47.games as well. The date was a tricky one to choose. Managed to

:24:47. > :24:51.squeeze it in. Edinburgh has been getting ready. There are extra

:24:51. > :24:55.police. But the narrow historic streets mean wellwishers will be

:24:55. > :25:00.limited. Already they have been gathering.

:25:00. > :25:03.Their friendly understated welcome, perhaps adding to Scotland's

:25:03. > :25:11.longheld royal appeal. The Royal Family connections stretch a long

:25:11. > :25:17.way back to Balmoral, the tartan image, Queen Vicoria developed that.

:25:17. > :25:20.The Queen enjoys Balmoral a lot and the simple lifestyle. And Zwara

:25:20. > :25:24.went to Gordonstoun, and that is the premier school, that is

:25:24. > :25:29.probably why the wedding will be held here. What about commemorative

:25:29. > :25:35.souvenir, one bride walking down the aisle tomorrow has taken up the

:25:35. > :25:39.baton, she was due to marry in the church where they are tying a knot,

:25:39. > :25:43.but when requested agreed to shift their venue. I'm happy, I hope she

:25:43. > :25:47.is. I'm really looked forward to tomorrow's big day, I hope she

:25:47. > :25:51.enjoys her big day as well, like every bride should. When it comes

:25:51. > :25:54.to public appearances, Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall are used

:25:54. > :26:00.to being in the background, just how they like it. Tomorrow it is

:26:00. > :26:04.their turn to take centre stage. Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall have

:26:04. > :26:11.arrived here within the last few moments. They are making their way

:26:11. > :26:17.to the Royal Yacht Brittannia, a yacht bizarre ra has fond memory

:26:17. > :26:21.she spent a considerable - Britannia, she has fond memories of

:26:21. > :26:24.childhood here. For the vast majority of people on the yacht

:26:24. > :26:28.carriages are expected at might night, she may go earlier.

:26:28. > :26:36.Now a look at how the weekend weather will be shining or not

:26:36. > :26:40.It looks good, there will be showers for most of us this weekend.

:26:40. > :26:45.Cloud as well. The headline is bright, rather than sunny. Even

:26:45. > :26:50.with the cloud t will feel quite warm. We have seen more cloud today

:26:50. > :26:56.across the southern half of the UK, by contrast, the sunshine came out

:26:56. > :27:00.across the north. A lovely evening in Scotland, clear skies here

:27:00. > :27:04.overnight. Clear skies in Northern Ireland, northern England, parts of

:27:04. > :27:08.the Midland with parts to the south west. A bit chily where skies are

:27:08. > :27:13.clear from northern England and northwards. Sunshine to begin with

:27:13. > :27:18.in these parts, through the day the clouds may increase, and for some

:27:18. > :27:21.areas the clouds will decrease, for just about all of us it will be dry

:27:21. > :27:25.and fine. For Scotland the cloud won't build up at all. For central,

:27:25. > :27:29.southern areas lots of sunshine. The cloud will bubble up and

:27:29. > :27:33.increase in northern England, not so much around the coast, plenty of

:27:33. > :27:38.sunshine here. The cloud will remain for most of the day for East

:27:38. > :27:41.Anglia and London. The clouds will break up a bit towards central and

:27:41. > :27:44.southern England, improving across the south west as well. Good

:27:44. > :27:49.sunshine here. Across Wales the cloud will decrease through the

:27:49. > :27:52.afternoon, any spots of main in the morning will fade away, with

:27:52. > :27:55.sunshine it will turn out to be warm. For Northern Ireland, after a

:27:55. > :27:59.bright start the cloud will tend to build through the day, you might

:27:59. > :28:04.get a spot of rain throughout the day. Generally it will be dry. For

:28:04. > :28:07.Northern Ireland on Sunday thicker clouds, drizzley rain, pushing into

:28:07. > :28:10.Scotland, around some of the western fringes of England and

:28:10. > :28:20.Wales, with more sunshine and warmth towards the east. If you are
