democracy protesters had wondered whether they would ever see this | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
day - Hosni Mubarak wheeled into a courtroom on a hospital trolley. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
Tens of millions in Egypt and around the Middle East watched as | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
the man who had ruled the country with an iron fist for nearly 30 | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
years denied charges of corruption and ordering the killing of | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
activists. John Leyne reports on the moment the Arab uprising | :02:07. | :02:17. | |
:02:17. | :02:19. | ||
delivered its first major trial. From early morning they gathered | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
outside the courthouse they Police Academy. Protesters and relatives | :02:22. | :02:32. | |
of those killed in the revolution, denieding justice and revenge. | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
Clashes quickly broke out. There is still anger here towards the police, | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
and the opposition don't trust the military who from in charge either. | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
Most Egyptians still did not believe the military would put on | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
trial their former mabder and President. But as the hearing began, | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
they filed into the caged dock. The two sons, Gamal and Alaa. The | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
former interior Minister, finally Hosni Mubarak himself. Brought in | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
on a stretcher, but clearly conscious and fully aware of what | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
was going on. The judge refused his lawyer's plea for the 83-year-old | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
to be allowed out of the hearing on grounds of ill health. Then the | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
prosecutor read out the charges. Hosni Mubarak did nothing to | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
prevent attacks on demonstrators, he said. TRANSLATION: The intention | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
was to kill the biggest number of protesters possible. For the first | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
time in 30 years the former leader was forced to answer for his | :03:35. | :03:45. | |
actions. TRANSLATION: All these accusations I deny them all. Then | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
an unpleasant surprise for Egypt's current military leader. As loyals | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
called for -- lawyers called for him to testify. So this is Hosni | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
Mubarak, once all powerful, now on a stretcher in a courtroom facing | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
charges which could lead to the death penalty. The accusation is | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
that the former President responded to these protests by ordering his | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
men to open fire. More than 800 protesters were killed. But proving | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
his command responsibility will be a huge challenge. This is a moment | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
Egyptians surely never believed they would ever see - their former | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
President, members of his family, and officials, in all the dock of | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
what used to be the Mubarak Police Academy. The implications will be | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
felt across the Middle East. Certainly the protesters outside | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
the court within exhilarated by the spectacle. When I saw him today I | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
felt it was the very first step on a long way to justice. It is not | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
like they are happy to -- because of what's happening to him but they | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
are happy that justice came this this country. Will this now heal or | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
just re-open Egypt's wounds? Our world affairs editor John | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
Simpson, the only western journalist allowed in court, joins | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
me now. It must have been extraordinary to see this once | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
powerful man brought low like this in a courtroom. It really was, | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
George. I've seen various of these sorts of things. I've watched the | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
trial of Saddam Hussein from beginning to end. But this was | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
different. Somehow or another this was all about power and the | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
destruction of a leader that had come to be hated. People were | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
really excited about it. A lot of the journalists here, a lot of the | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
newspapers here, had managed to convince themselves, this really is | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
the home of the conspiracy theory, that President Mubarak wouldn't be | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
there for some reason, that a deal had been done or whatever. So when | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
we actually saw the figure of the President being brought in on a bed, | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
and lying there, that was an amazing and exciting thing for many | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
people here. The thought that they were seeing a sick President and | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
they were seeing him as he is - weak and lacking in any kind of | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
defences. All the things that are different from how they were. There | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
was a sharp intake of breath and then suddenly a real silence. I | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
think this country won't ever be the same again, having seen ex- | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
President Mubarak in that position. They will never forget it here. | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
Tens of thousands of British holidaymakers have had their plans | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
wrecked after a tour operator specialising in packages to Turkey | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
went into administration. The crisis at the Brighton-based | :06:54. | :07:03. | |
Holidays 4U comes at the height of the holiday season. For the latest, | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
live to Manchester Airport and our correspondent there, Chris Buckler. | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
If you look behind me you will see some people with their bags packed | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
but they are not Holidays 4U passengers. They should have been | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
checking in around about now for a 9 o'clock flight. They've been told | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
that the company has ceased operating. That's affecting | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
passengers not just here in Manchester but those in Bristol, | :07:27. | :07:36. | |
Glasgow, Belfast and elsewhere. To rest to the sun and to begin their | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
holidays, but the getaway isn't going to happen for Holidays 4U | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
passengers. They've been told not to make the journey to the airport. | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
Those booked on-line were promised a flight to guaranteed good weather | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
but today there's a new gloomy message on the website. The company | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
is now in administration and its customers' plans are ruined. | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
Confirmations mean nothing, and for couples who have spent hundreds of | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
pounds there is not just the inconvenience. They don't yet know | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
if they will get their cashback. No-one likes to lose money on | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
something like this, but I suppose the way things are and the economic | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
climate as it is, these sort of things are going to happen. We just | :08:18. | :08:25. | |
have to grit our teeth and bear bear it. Those currently on holiday | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
have been contacting the administrators with their concerns. | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
It has another 20,000 bookings, including family holidays. That | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
means the number of people affect could be twice or three time that | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
is. This is a company with a turnover of �35 million. This is | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
going to be a terrible time for 50 ,000 people who now have to run | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
around and try and find alternative holidays. They will find that it is | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
a sudden spike in demand, so other companies are putting their prices | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
up. Not everybody can afford a holiday. It is people's worries | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
about money that are blamed for this firm's problems. The travel | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
business over the last couple of years has had a tough time. We | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
understand this business in particular had a difficult June and | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
July, so trading conditions have contributed. But those hoping to | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
join other holiday-makers on another trip abroad may have to | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
wait to get their money back. The departures board in Manchester, a | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
flight is missing, this evening's 9 o'clock flight to Dalaman in Turkey | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
won't fly. The story is the same at other UK airports, with families | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
discovering their holiday plans have simply disappeared. There are | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
reassurances for those currently on package holidays. They are covered | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
by the atoll scheme. In simple terms they are going to get back to | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
the UK, that's pretty much guaranteed. For those who haven't | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
got away yet, the future is a little more uncertain. We are | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
expecting some of the first people making it back from a Holidays 4U | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
holiday to be back here in Manchester this evening. | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
The UK border force and the Serious Organised Crime Agency have | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
uncovered a record �300 million pounds worth of cocaine hidden in a | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
luxury yacht headed from the Caribbean to the Netherlands. | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
Officers boarded the boat in Southampton after close co- | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
operation between the British agencies and their French and Dutch | :10:19. | :10:26. | |
counterparts. Six men have been arrested. Our home affairs | :10:26. | :10:33. | |
correspondent, June Kelly, reports. The Louise, a luxury yacht with all | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
the touches and trappings of a wealthy lifestyle. The Louise had a | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
hidden extra - the largest cache of cocaine ever siezed in the UK. And | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
this is what it looks like. 1.2 tonnes. This was an international | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
law enforcement operation involving seven countries. This is a global | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
threat, it require as global response and it requires trusted | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
partnerships and for people to rely on the information and the | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
intelligence they are given. It was from Venezuela that the drugs | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
consignment set sail. The cocaine was shipped to the British Virgin | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
Islands and packed inside the Louise, a 65 foot cruiser. This is | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
where the British and French authorities were tipped off. They | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
attracted the Louise across the Atlantic. With her illegal cargo | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
she was transported on a container ship. The next stop was Southampton. | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
The Louise was en route to the Netherlands, but the UK became her | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
journey's end when law enforcement agencies boarded the boat. It was | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
under the yacht's diving platform that they located what they had | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
been looking for - cocaine. The street value? �300 million. So how | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
do you hide such a large stash of drugs? The smugglers were pretty | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
clever. It took search teams working 12 hours a day six days to | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
find all the cocaine. Often smuglers use a false fuel tank to | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
hide liar drugs. The Louise had a false fuel tank but it was empty. | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
The smugglers were hoping to put the searchers off the scent. But | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
they kept burrowing for the cocaine, which was 90% pure. Ifrts It would | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
have found its way into Europe and then around Europe and back to the | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
UK in large store. We think this would amount to in terms of street | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
availability something in the region of 7 or 8 tonnes of cut | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
cocaine. This is huge. This will damage, harm health. With Louise | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
impounded, the owner, his three sons and two other men are under | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
arrest in the Netherlands. As well as the cocaine, also seized from | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
the gang were guns and more than 1 million euros in cash. | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
Part of the Sellafield nuclear plant in Cumbria is to close, | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
putting 800 jobs at risk, according to the union, Prospect. The Mox | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
fuel manufacturing plant which supplied the Fukushima plant in | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
Japan has been badly affected by the disaster there. The Nuclear | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
Decommissioning Authority says it will help to find the plant's | :13:07. | :13:15. | |
workers new jobs at the site. A multi-billion bound computer | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
project for the NHS in England has been condemned as unworkable by MPs. | :13:20. | :13:24. | |

The Italian Prime Minister has been addressing parliament on the | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
country's debt crisis, amid calls from opposition parties for him to | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
step down. Silvio Berlusconi said Italy's country had a solid | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
economic foundation and its banks had good reserves. Cuts to the | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
armed forces may leave them unable to do what's asked of them after | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
2015. That's the warning from the Commons Defence Committee. They | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
rejected David Cameron's assurance that Britain retains a full | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
spectrum of defence capability. White white the details. | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
After scrutinising the defence review the MPs warn that Britain | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
risks turning from a nation that punched above its weight to one | :14:06. | :14:09. | |

the current commitments Afghanistan, with some 10,000 personnel from all | :15:11. | :15:17. | |

the Army Air Corps are in action. They are also in the Falklands, as | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
well as fighting piracy and drugs. MPs warned that the forces risk not | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
being able to take on new tasks, something the Government disputes. | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
We have been able to operate in Libya while we are still deployed | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
in Afghanistan. We have been able to deploy more assets than we have | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
been asked for by NATO to that. It is still clear that we are able, | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
with the fourth-biggest defence budget in the world, to mount | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
operations to a greater extent than most European allies. The committee | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
also worries about gaps left by the scrapping of the Nimrod. Or having | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
no carriers with aircraft for a decade. Analysts say that they will | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
need more money. We are going to need increases in the defence | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
budget after the spending review in 2014. That is difficult for the | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
Treasury to agree to in the long term. Who knows where the economy | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
is in 2014? Can the UK hope to retain the same influence on the | :16:18. | :16:22. | |

work has got a pay rise this year. More phone hacking allegations have | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
emerged, this time about the Mirror Group. Heather Mills has made | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
claims to BBC Newsnight that a senior Mirror Group journalist | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
admitted hacking a highly sensitive voicemail left for her by Sir Paul | :17:20. | :17:28. | |
McCartney before they were married. Heather Mills is a former model, | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
best known for her four year marriage to Sir Paul McCartney. She | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
was the subject of tabloid stories for many years. She once said she | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
had always been driven to suicide by them. Tonight, she alleges that | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
a senior journalist at Mirror Group Newspapers admitted having a voice | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
mail left for her in 2001 by Sir Paul McCartney. She said the | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
journalist quoted part of a message following an argument she had with | :17:51. | :17:58. | |
her then boyfriend. He said, oh, I hear you have had a big argument | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
with your boyfriend? I said, you have obviously hacked my phone. If | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
you do anything with that story, because they will fiercely private | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
conversations between a couple, I said I would go to the police. I | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
said, OK, OK, we did here it on your voice messages. I won't run | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
this story. The parent company, Trinity Mirror, which publishes | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
more than 260 titles, said in response to the allegation that its | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
position was clear, that all its journalists work with in criminal | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
law and the Press Complaints Commission code of conduct. The | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
journalist who Heather Mills said had contacted her was not then | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
editor Piers Morgan. However, the message in question appears to be | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
one which Mr Morgan it admitted listening to in 80,006 article in | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
the Daily Mail, in which he wrote, at one stage I was played a tape of | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
a message Paul Hart left for head on her mobile phone. It was | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
heartbreaking. They had clearly had a tiff, Heather had fled to India | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
and he was pleading with her to come back. He sounded lonely, | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
miserable and desperate and even sang, we can work it out. If the | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
recollection is correct, the message that he listened to have | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
been hacked. A fellow umbrella group -- Mirror Group journalist | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
had tried to use it to get a story. Piers Morgan has consistently | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
denied phone hacking authorising it. James Hipwell worked for the | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
company as a business journalist before he was sacked and later | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
convicted of conspiring to illegally inflate share prices at a | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
time that Heather Mills alleges her phone was hacked. He said that the | :19:44. | :19:51. | |
practice was widespread at the time. When I was there, it was accepted | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
technique to get a story. The BBC has also learned that many other | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
prominent people, including Rio Ferdinand and TV presenter Ulrika | :20:00. | :20:09. | |
Jonsson also believe they were The Chief Constable of Cleveland | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
police Sean Price and his deputy Derek Bonnard have been arrested as | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
part of an investigation into alleged corruption. The two men are | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
being questioned along with a woman at a police station in North | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
Yorkshire. Danny Savage is in Middlesbrough now. What do we know | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
about these allegations? Well, for the last three months an | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
investigation into allegations of corruption has been taking place | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
into the Cleveland police authority. That is the public body which | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
oversees the police. Today, the inquiry went one big step further | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
when detectives from it came calling for the Chief Constable of | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
Cleveland Police, Sean Price, and his deputy, Derek Bonnard. They | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
were arrested and taken to a police station in North Yorkshire. They | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
were arrested on suspicion of misconduct, fraud by a fierce | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
opposition and corrupt practice. Since the arrest they have also | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
been suspended. The police authority here say that is routine | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
and it should not shed any light on whether or not anybody thinks they | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
are guilty of anything. It is purely routine to suspend them from | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
duty at this stage of this investigation. War sort of reaction | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
has there been? -- what sort of reaction. Sean Price has been chief | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
constable here since 2003. He has been the leader of the police force | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
here. The Cleveland Police Federation, who represent rank-and- | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
file officers, say it has come as a massive shock, what has happened | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
today. It is highly unusual for a chief constable to be arrested. | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
People living here now face the prospect of having their most | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
senior law keeper arrested by fellow officers. | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
Almost 30,000 pupils in Scotland have received their exam results a | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
day early by mistake. The Scottish qualifications Authority said the | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
results, sent out by text message, where correct, but that the matter | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
was being investigated. Barely 160,000 students were expecting | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
results of Highers and Standard Grades tomorrow. | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
Proposals to modify UK copyright legislation have been set out by | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
the Government. Changes include making it legal for individuals to | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
copy the Rhone CDs and DVDs for private use. Plans to block | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
websites which host pirate Material are to be abandoned. | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
It's one of those issues that seems to divide public opinion. Should | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
mothers breast-feed babies in public? Leeds wants to become the | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
most breast feeding friendly city in the UK. The council and health | :22:42. | :22:51. | |
services are running a campaign to This might be just as nature | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
intended, but breast-feeding in public can take a little courage, | :22:57. | :23:04. | |
particularly for first timers. People do get embarrassed. It never | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
used to be acceptable. I breast-fed in the aisles of a shop, and I've | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
not been bothered. Some people are definitely bothered, about people | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
staring. A recent survey found more than half of mothers were too | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
embarrassed to breast feed in front of people. A third said they went | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
to public toilets to feed their babies. A 5th of new fathers | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
admitted they felt embarrassed about watching their partner | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
breast-feeding the beginning. In Leeds, they are trying to counter | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
that by branding the city and its shops as breast-feeding friendly. | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
Although some people say it does make them feel awkward. | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
offended, no. I just feel uncomfortable. It would be better | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
if there was somewhere in public to go out of public sight, kind of | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
thing. Last month, these mothers protested inside Old and Civic | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
Centre after one of them was asked to leave because she was breast- | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
feeding. It led to an apology from the council. To judge whether the | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
scheme is a success, health professionals will be looking to | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
see if the number of breast-feeding mothers rises. There are huge | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
health advantages. It can protect babies against childhood in this -- | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
illnesses like gastroenteritis. It can also prevent developing | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
allergies, eczema and asthma. Mothers have the right to breast- | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
feed in whichever Business they are visiting, that he is the law | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
throughout the UK. Although protection is more limited in | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
Northern Ireland. An Australian teenager has been | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
subjected to a 10 hour ordeal after she was trapped in her home with | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
what she thought was a bomb. Police in Sydney, who have yet to confirm | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
if it was a bomb or not, are looking for the person that place | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
the device in the house in one of Sydney's upmarket suburbs. | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
This is a Sydney suburb known for its stunning views and fabulous | :24:53. | :24:59. | |
wealth. But for 10 hours Mossman became the unlikely scene for the | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
most terrifying of ordeals. 18 year-old Madeleine poll there had | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
been studying for final-year exams. At intruder, reportedly wearing a | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
balaclava, entered the house and attached a potentially explosive | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
device around her neck. There are also reports that the intruder left | :25:16. | :25:23. | |
behind a note, possibly an attempt at extortion. As dust faded into | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
night, police bomb disposal experts struggled to neutralise the device. | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
They even sought help from the British military. Police have | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
described this as a delicate and painstaking operation, a tough | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
enough to crack. They have also said that no contact has been made | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
with the person that left the device and that no negotiation has | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
been under way. But just after midnight a breakthrough. The | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
teenager, who was said to have remained remarkably calm throughout, | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
was finally freed. She has been and will be uncomfortable for a little | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
while to come. But she is in good hands, with her mum and dad. | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
was taken to a nearby hospital to recover. Her ordeal was not only | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
traumatic but physically uncomfortable. Meanwhile, police | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
are trying to establish a motive. They have never seen this kind of | :26:15. | :26:24. | |
Well, it is positively tropical out there, let's see what the prospects | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
are. 30 Celsius in a number of spots | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
through the day. If it's been too much for you, you will be glad to | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
hear that the heat has peaked. Those temperatures will be sliding | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
away, feeling cooler and fresher by the weekend. One more muggy night | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
to go. With that, quite a lot of mist. In the short term, in parts | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
of Norfolk, the East Midlands, Yorkshire, intense thunderstorms. | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
There could be minor flooding before they clear. More details on | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
your regional news but it in. -- bulletin. Temperatures are no lower | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
than the mid- to high teens for many. A completely different day | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
tomorrow. Outbreaks of rain across southern England to start the day. | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
Some of that is heavy on the south coast. Very misty over the hills, | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
with some fog around. A sluggish rush-hour in many parts of England | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
and South-East Wales. Drying up in the north of Wales. A damp start | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
across much of southern Scotland and into Northern Ireland. Breaks | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
in the rain across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Wet everywhere to | :27:30. | :27:36. | |
start the day. A few brighter breaks here and there in northern | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
Scotland. Certainly misty around the coast. Across many easternmost | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
counties of England, only a little bit of rain first thing in the | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
morning. Some sunshine possible across coastal parts of Yorkshire, | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
Lincolnshire and into the East Anglia. A humid start, but things | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
will change rapidly. Heaviest rain will be from the Isle of Wight, | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
through Hampshire and into East Anglia. We could see in excess of | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
an inch of rain. That rain will remain heavy across eastern parts | :28:03. | :28:06. | |
and into northern Scotland by the end of the day. Skies are brighter, | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
it will feel fresher but still warm in the sunshine. That's the story | :28:10. | :28:15. |
