:00:13. > :00:17.talks about a slow motion moral collapse. New pictures of looting.
:00:17. > :00:22.Now there's a political row about how to fix what the Prime Minister
:00:22. > :00:28.calls the broken society. Children without fathers, schools without
:00:28. > :00:32.discipline, reward without effort. Crime without punishment, rights
:00:32. > :00:37.without responsibilities, communities without control.
:00:37. > :00:41.A new policy a day, meagre -- knee- jerk gimmicks, not thought through,
:00:41. > :00:45.they will not solve the problems. We'll be asking if the war of words
:00:45. > :00:49.will put the gangs out of business. I think the police should have more
:00:49. > :00:52.force and carry guns because when the young kids see big guns, it
:00:52. > :00:55.will scare them away. Also on tonight's programme: Jersey in
:00:55. > :00:58.shock. A father will be questioned over the murder of six people -
:00:58. > :01:01.four of them are members of his own family.

:01:16. > :01:19.goes home to Barcelona. But he has got fond words for his old club.
:01:19. > :01:23.They are one of the best clubs in the world and they will keep going
:01:23. > :01:28.without me as they have been doing without so many big stars that

:01:58. > :02:03.Good evening. Welcome to the BBC News at 6pm. The looters are still
:02:03. > :02:06.being arrested and the courts are still in session. But now the
:02:06. > :02:10.political argument over what to do about last week's riots is out in
:02:10. > :02:16.the open. David Cameron blamed what he called a slow motion moral
:02:16. > :02:18.collapse and promised a review of all government policies. He says
:02:19. > :02:24.ministers will target the most troubled families, look at benefits
:02:24. > :02:26.and promised an all out war on gangs. But Labour leader Ed
:02:27. > :02:34.Miliband warned against knee-jerk gimmicks that won't deliver long
:02:34. > :02:37.lasting solutions. We will have the latest on the looters in a moment
:02:37. > :02:39.but first Mark Easton on the riots and the political argument that has
:02:39. > :02:44.followed. New footage tonight of the moment
:02:44. > :02:49.when a swarm of local youngsters broke into a convenience store.
:02:49. > :02:57.This was close to Hackney's Pennbury estate one week ago. The
:02:57. > :03:01.owner was a much loved community figure. But that did not step them
:03:01. > :03:04.-- stop them. Today, friends were trying to put the shot back
:03:04. > :03:10.together again. In this impoverished neighbourhood, people
:03:10. > :03:15.still gave what they could. I think if the police was carrying guns,
:03:15. > :03:19.people would have morphia and they would not have done so much. The
:03:20. > :03:24.Ashmore fear. They should not put them in prison, they should put
:03:24. > :03:28.them in an orange suit, put some chains on the lakes and let them
:03:28. > :03:32.rebuild communities. The Prime Minister promised more no-nonsense
:03:32. > :03:38.policing, tougher sentencing and a sweeping review of policies on
:03:38. > :03:42.schools, welfare and parent ing. we have the determination to
:03:43. > :03:47.confront the slow-motion more or collapse that is taking place in
:03:47. > :03:51.the past few generations? Irresponsibility, selfishness,
:03:51. > :03:55.behaving as if your choices have no consequences, children without
:03:55. > :04:00.fathers, schools for their discipline, reward without effort,
:04:01. > :04:06.crime without punishment, rights without responsibilities,
:04:06. > :04:11.communities without control. big government also says it would
:04:11. > :04:16.consider cutting benefits. The opposition leader when took this in
:04:16. > :04:21.is at his school today to accuse the Prime Minister of play into the
:04:21. > :04:26.newspapers. A new policy a day, knee-jerk gimmicks, not thought
:04:26. > :04:32.through, they will not solve the problems. At a youth club on the
:04:32. > :04:37.estate, there was also anxiety about cutting the welfare of the
:04:37. > :04:42.rioters. They need rescue, not abandonment, says this woman.
:04:42. > :04:46.might mean we've run specialist programmes and work really hard...
:04:46. > :04:50.There is not a lot of sympathy, the public does not want to spend money
:04:50. > :04:56.on these people. Yeah, they don't, but I would not want to give up on
:04:56. > :05:01.them. This is a community cowering behind bars. No one was prepared to
:05:01. > :05:10.talk publicly. They say they are too frightened of reprisals. Who
:05:10. > :05:13.runs this estate, I asked? The whispered reply came: My gangs.
:05:13. > :05:21.Type the name of the Hackney estate into you tube and dozens of
:05:21. > :05:26.gangster rap videos pop up. Today, David Cameron says it was time the
:05:26. > :05:30.government confronted exactly this. A concerted all-out war on gangs
:05:30. > :05:35.and gang culture. This is not a side issue. It is a major criminal
:05:35. > :05:40.disease that has infected streets and estates across the country.
:05:40. > :05:45.Stamping out these gangs should be a new national priority. More new
:05:46. > :05:51.footage of the night Hackney turned on itself. For all the party jibes,
:05:51. > :05:55.there does seem to be a broad political consensus. These pictures
:05:55. > :06:03.are a metaphor for something rotten about Britain. From the richest to
:06:03. > :06:06.the poorest, there is greed, selfishness and immorality.
:06:06. > :06:10.Let's go to our political correspondent at Westminster. David
:06:10. > :06:15.Cameron would not be the first Prime Minister to say he would deal
:06:15. > :06:19.with problems families and crack down on gangs. David Cameron feels
:06:19. > :06:23.he is on strong territory because he has been talking about mending
:06:23. > :06:27.the broken society for many years, from the time he became
:06:27. > :06:30.Conservative leader. He thinks because of the rioting, the message
:06:30. > :06:33.can be crystallised and the audience will be more receptive
:06:33. > :06:38.because when he has been talking about a lack of responsibility in
:06:38. > :06:41.society, people will understand what he's talking about, but
:06:41. > :06:46.translating these ideas into reality and policies that will work
:06:46. > :06:52.is a different matter. One idea being talked about today, to take
:06:52. > :06:55.benefits away from people convicted of rioting who do not go to prison.
:06:55. > :06:59.Some are questioning already whether that will help families
:06:59. > :07:03.turn around the situation. National citizens' service, a programme to
:07:03. > :07:07.take 16-year-olds and get them to work together from different
:07:07. > :07:10.backgrounds. Pilot schemes this year already and they want to
:07:10. > :07:16.extend it, but is it really affecting the people who need it
:07:16. > :07:21.most because it is not compulsory? The idea that every policy should
:07:21. > :07:24.be evaluated to see if it is family-friendly. There is already a
:07:24. > :07:29.ministerial task force that is supposed to have been doing this.
:07:29. > :07:34.And I understand Ed Miliband, Labour leader, who has been calling
:07:34. > :07:36.for an independent inquiry, he now feels pretty hopeful that coalition
:07:37. > :07:39.leaders will announce something pretty soon for.
:07:39. > :07:42.Three people appeared in court today charged with the murder of
:07:42. > :07:48.three men killed in a hit-and-run incident during the riots in
:07:48. > :07:51.Birmingham last week. Adam King, 23, was in the dock. Joshua Donald, who
:07:51. > :07:55.is 26, and a 17-year-old, who can't be named for legal reasons,
:07:55. > :08:00.appeared on a video-link. They were remanded in custody until December.
:08:00. > :08:03.In total seven people have been arrested over the deaths.
:08:03. > :08:05.In south London, a man has appeared in court charged with starting the
:08:05. > :08:08.fire that destroyed the Reeves furniture store in Croydon last
:08:08. > :08:16.week. Gordon Thompson, who is 33, was remanded in custody to appear
:08:16. > :08:21.in court next week. Following the four nights of
:08:21. > :08:27.rioting, there have been more than 2500 arrests across England, the
:08:27. > :08:31.vast majority of those have been in London, more than 1500. More than
:08:31. > :08:35.900 people have been charged in London. Many had been sentenced to
:08:35. > :08:39.prison, even if it was their first offence, which some families
:08:39. > :08:42.claimed is too harsh a punishment. Our correspondent has been talking
:08:42. > :08:46.to the families of some of the looters.
:08:46. > :08:51.As you have been hearing, the government has been talking to us
:08:51. > :08:55.today. David Cameron saying people must be seen to be punished for the
:08:55. > :08:59.crimes committed recently. There are families and solicitors of
:08:59. > :09:04.those who have been appearing before this and other courts who
:09:04. > :09:09.say their sentences are harsh but the judiciary say they have not
:09:09. > :09:13.been given any directives as far as sentencing does.
:09:13. > :09:18.Another day at court for troublemakers and their parents.
:09:18. > :09:23.This mother handed her son into the police. He cannot be identified
:09:23. > :09:27.because he is only 12. Dead right I am ashamed. Dead right. Her son was
:09:27. > :09:32.given a referral order but many others have faced more severe
:09:32. > :09:37.sentences. This woman is a mother of two. Her housemaid gave her a
:09:37. > :09:43.pair of stone in shirts and she was sentenced to five months in jail,
:09:43. > :09:47.to be genuine shock of friends and family. It is a farce, it is a joke.
:09:47. > :09:52.Ain't no justice system. If it was a justice system, she would not
:09:52. > :10:00.have been sent to jail. She has to kits, where is the justice in that?
:10:00. > :10:04.It is a joke -- she has two kids. Some people will be saying she
:10:04. > :10:08.received stolen goods and it is a crime. It is a crime but she had a
:10:08. > :10:14.clean record. There is little sympathy for those caught up in the
:10:14. > :10:19.insanity in Manchester. They are still repairing the shops here. But
:10:19. > :10:23.the government knows its message of being tough on crime and delivering
:10:23. > :10:30.swift justice is popular with the public. The UK is too soft. They
:10:30. > :10:36.should not have got away with it in London and instead they went to
:10:36. > :10:40.Manchester and London. Good old CCTV has caught a lot of them out!
:10:40. > :10:44.The many suspect identified from the pictures have been appearing
:10:44. > :10:47.before courts that have been sitting day and night, their crimes
:10:47. > :10:50.and treated more seriously because they were committed during the
:10:50. > :10:56.widespread violence. People convicted of relatively minor
:10:56. > :11:00.offences, for example, the burglary of a doughnut, will be treated as
:11:00. > :11:04.harshly as people committing more serious offences in the context of
:11:04. > :11:09.the rioting. On Friday this 13- year-old appeared in court charged
:11:09. > :11:13.with having a hammer. The Crown Prosecution Service says in serious
:11:13. > :11:17.circumstances, the ban on identifying children can be lifted.
:11:17. > :11:23.His mother said they had suffered enough. People look at us like we
:11:23. > :11:28.are scum but he wasn't right and that is why I am annoyed. He was
:11:28. > :11:35.not a rioter, he was just caught up, he was not rioting. But he did have
:11:35. > :11:39.a hammer strapped to his legs. enough but he was a child. It is
:11:39. > :11:44.not only the courts determined to see people punished. Manchester
:11:44. > :11:49.council says the guilty will be banned from the city centre stores,
:11:49. > :11:52.rioters not welcome in the places they tried to destroy. As far as
:11:52. > :11:57.then the thing is concerned, we have some new statistics on the
:11:57. > :12:02.Ministry of Justice tonight -- sentencing is concerned. They say
:12:02. > :12:08.of the first 1200 cases in court, 65% of people were remanded in
:12:08. > :12:12.custody. Compare that to the figure of 2010. It was 10% of people
:12:12. > :12:16.appearing that were remanded in custody. That is a big difference
:12:16. > :12:21.and it indicates the courts of been tough but those appearing are
:12:21. > :12:25.appearing in the context of all the riots that have taken place for.
:12:25. > :12:29.Jersey is in shock after the fatal stabbing of six people on the
:12:29. > :12:35.island. The BBA and stands the man in custody will face questions over
:12:35. > :12:40.the deaths, four of them are members of his own family -- the
:12:40. > :12:43.BBC understands. In a leafy Victorian crescent
:12:43. > :12:48.overlooking St Hellier, the people of Jersey came to express their
:12:48. > :12:53.horror of one of the worst crimes on their island's history. Police
:12:53. > :12:57.activity has not ceased. Forensic scientists have been reinforced by
:12:57. > :13:00.others from the mainland. At one stage, and number of cars were
:13:00. > :13:03.removed for more detailed examination. Detectives are
:13:03. > :13:07.beginning to piece together the sequence of events which led to
:13:07. > :13:14.such extreme violence. It is now clear that the attacks took place
:13:14. > :13:16.both inside and outside the buildings. The 30-year-old man
:13:16. > :13:21.under police guard is expected to be questioned about the murders of
:13:21. > :13:25.his children, or wife and father in law. Another woman and her child
:13:25. > :13:30.also died. The police of us are heading the inquiry said they were
:13:30. > :13:34.still trying to contact relatives - - of the police officer heading the
:13:34. > :13:40.inquiry. One of the Jersey families was Polish and we are working
:13:40. > :13:44.closely with the leaders as you will hear from both the local St
:13:44. > :13:49.Hellier and Polish communities to support the investigation and the
:13:49. > :13:53.local people affected by this very tragic incident. Prayers have been
:13:53. > :13:59.set for victims and their families. The Polish community, several
:13:59. > :14:07.thousand strong, is very much part of life here. For us, it is a
:14:07. > :14:11.double tragedy, for people of Jersey and the Polish. We feel
:14:11. > :14:19.beautiful for the victims and the children and the family is.
:14:19. > :14:25.Jersey's government have spoken of the shop and -- shock and pain felt
:14:25. > :14:31.for everyone. Support and comfort, all was there for those who need it.
:14:31. > :14:35.If our top story tonight: David Cameron said the rioting was a
:14:35. > :14:42.wake-up call for my country and he talks about a slow-motion moral
:14:42. > :14:47.collapse. Coming up: We have never actually met. We have, several time
:14:47. > :14:53.It has already sought over a million copies but can Britain's
:14:53. > :14:57.best seller repeat that success at the box office?
:14:57. > :15:02.Later on the news channel, calm returns to the markets as investors

:15:20. > :15:22.Turning the Government's hopes of a green revolution in Britain into
:15:22. > :15:26.fact is one of the great engineering challenges of our time.
:15:26. > :15:29.The plan is for thousands of turbines out at sea, but the cost
:15:29. > :15:33.is huge. Our Science Correspondent, David
:15:33. > :15:38.Shukman, has been given special access to a shipyard where the
:15:38. > :15:42.massive component for the latest wind farms are being put together.
:15:42. > :15:46.In Belfast, in the shipyard where they built the Titanic, another
:15:46. > :15:52.giant project. This one meant to help revolutionise how reget our
:15:52. > :15:56.power. The task right now, to manoeuvre these massive wind
:15:56. > :16:01.turbines, carfully and slowly and load them on to a ship.
:16:02. > :16:06.Most wind farms are built on land. These turbines will be stuck out at
:16:07. > :16:12.sea. The hope is there'll be fewer objections.
:16:12. > :16:16.This is just one blade of one of the largest wind turbines in the
:16:16. > :16:20.world. It's made of fibre glass. When you get this close, you get a
:16:20. > :16:26.sense of the incredible engineering challenge involved in building
:16:26. > :16:33.these things. This is the next one to be lifted.
:16:33. > :16:36.Hoisting this huge structure up off the quayside and on to a ship is an
:16:36. > :16:41.incredibly painstaking, difficult task. It's got to be repeated
:16:41. > :16:44.thousands of times if the Government's energy tarts are to be
:16:44. > :16:47.fulfilled. It's one reason why getting energy from these things
:16:48. > :16:52.out at sea is so incredibly expensive.
:16:52. > :16:57.Speed it up, this is how the huge row tars are loaded on board.
:16:57. > :17:02.Building wind farms at sea is a new industry and there's a lot to learn.
:17:02. > :17:06.Above a stack of blades, each move is controlled from a tiny cabin
:17:06. > :17:09.perched right unat the top of the crane, usually they do heavy lift
:17:09. > :17:14.for ships, now it's more delicate work with wind turbines.
:17:14. > :17:18.What is it like picking them up? How difficult is it?
:17:18. > :17:22.It is nerve-racking, there's a lot of pressure. They are not something
:17:22. > :17:27.that you want to be bouncing about off different structures or even
:17:27. > :17:34.off the crane, they can get close to the legs of the crane. A dozen
:17:34. > :17:39.wind farms have sprung up off shore, the latest for Barrow company
:17:39. > :17:44.Vattenfall. Each turbine towering over the ocean, taller than Big Ben,
:17:44. > :17:48.each blade stretches for 60 metres, that's longer than the entire wing
:17:48. > :17:53.span of a Boeing 747 and very difficult to build.
:17:53. > :17:57.If the wind picks up, your operations can be delayed and
:17:57. > :18:00.particularly when you work offshore, the sea conditions can really
:18:00. > :18:05.impact the time it takes for the vessel to get from one place to
:18:05. > :18:09.another. Two more turbines are readyed for the journey off to sea.
:18:09. > :18:14.Offshore wind is the most expensive form of power. The Government's
:18:14. > :18:21.plans could cost more than �100 billion, a massive controversial
:18:22. > :18:25.investment now getting under way. At least 200 tonnes of oil may have
:18:25. > :18:28.leaked into the North Sea following Shell's oil spill last week. The
:18:28. > :18:33.Government described the spill as substantial and said the energy
:18:33. > :18:38.firm is still trying to stop any further leakage. Shell says the
:18:38. > :18:42.leak which took place 112 miles east of Aberdeen is under control.
:18:42. > :18:46.Colonel Gaddafi today urged Libyans to free the country from what he
:18:46. > :18:50.called traitors as rebels began to tighten the noose on a major

:18:55. > :18:59.strategic towns controlling access to Tripoli, Zawiya, about 30 miles
:18:59. > :19:05.west of the capital and Gharyan to the south. If the coastal town
:19:05. > :19:07.falls, rebels will control the main supply route from Tunisia to
:19:07. > :19:13.Tripoli from where Matthew Price reports.
:19:13. > :19:20.Tripoli is starting to feel like a city under siege. The power cuts
:19:20. > :19:24.are taking their toll. This family brought out the candles and then

:19:33. > :19:37.gun, ready to defend my country and Muammar Gaddafi who has done so
:19:37. > :19:42.much good for us. Outside, Gaddafi's agents were on alert. As
:19:42. > :19:48.we left, we, and our government minders, were stopped. They took
:19:48. > :19:53.our Libyan permits as armed loyalists checked every vehicle.
:19:53. > :19:55.This checkpoint we've been stopped at is manned by local people and we
:19:56. > :19:59.are told that there are similar checkpoints across Tripoli during
:19:59. > :20:04.the night at the moment. It's clearly not normal, it's here
:20:04. > :20:10.because of the war and it is a sign of the tensions in the Libyan
:20:11. > :20:15.capital right now. This has only increased the tension.
:20:15. > :20:22.30 miles to the west, rebel forces are celebrating an advance on
:20:22. > :20:26.Zawiya. The opposition feels the momentum is finally firmly with
:20:26. > :20:32.them. But how much they hold and how long
:20:32. > :20:38.they can hold it for is unclear. Libyan state television showed
:20:38. > :20:41.crowds cheering as Colonel Gaddafi addressed them in audio only on a
:20:41. > :20:46.crackly telephone line. He called on his supporters to
:20:46. > :20:53.prepare for the fight, cleanse the country he said, the blood of

:20:56. > :21:04.of east Tripoli, the mood was different. They were worried about
:21:04. > :21:10.the camera, so we've blurred the pictures.
:21:10. > :21:15.This man told me Gaddafi must go. Now listen to this man's anger.
:21:16. > :21:19.hate Gaddafi here. Everyone? Everyone. It's hard to gauge how
:21:19. > :21:24.many agree. The rebels are now closer to
:21:24. > :21:32.Tripoli than ever. The army, we assume, will fight back. This war
:21:32. > :21:36.may have entered a decisive phase. The former Egyptian President,
:21:36. > :21:40.Hosni Mubarak, has appeared in court in Cairo for the second time.
:21:40. > :21:44.He was wheeled into the caged dock on a stretcher once again to face
:21:44. > :21:48.charges of corruption and of ordering the killing of protestors
:21:48. > :21:52.during the uprising this year. The case was adjourned until September.
:21:52. > :21:56.He was a linchpin of the team for nearly a decade, but Cesc Fabregas,
:21:56. > :22:01.who until this weekend was Arsenal captain, today put on a Barcelona
:22:01. > :22:06.shirt in his boyhood home. He signed a fif-year deal worth around
:22:06. > :22:09.�35 million. Our sports correspondent, Dan Roan, is at the
:22:09. > :22:14.Emirates Stadium in North London -- five-year deal. It will go down as
:22:14. > :22:18.one of the most protracted transfer sagas in Premier League history,
:22:18. > :22:22.one that's left a bitter taste in the mouths of many Arsenal fans.
:22:22. > :22:26.This club tried for years to hang on to its former captain, but
:22:26. > :22:33.ultimately, player power and the relentless pursuit of the world's
:22:33. > :22:38.greatest club proved too much to resist.
:22:38. > :22:43.Back together again, Cesc Fabregas had made no secret of his desire to
:22:43. > :22:47.be reunited with his home town club. The fans made clear the feeling was
:22:47. > :22:50.mutual today. After a long courtship, the midfielder is
:22:50. > :22:54.finally back where his career began, but not without a look over his
:22:55. > :22:58.shoulder. Not to be able to lift a trophy as an Arsenal captain is one
:22:58. > :23:02.of the biggest regrets I will always have, but I'm sure they'll
:23:02. > :23:09.now be a very strong team again. They are one of the best clubs in
:23:09. > :23:14.the world. Fabregas, this could finish it. It
:23:14. > :23:17.has! A beautifully worked goal. Fabregas, 2-0 to Arsenal. It's
:23:17. > :23:20.moments like these that established Fabregas as one of the most gifted
:23:20. > :23:25.players in Arsenal's history. In London today, the team-mates he
:23:25. > :23:30.left behind were getting used to life without their former captain.
:23:30. > :23:33.The manager, Arsene Wenger, under increasing pressure having lost his
:23:33. > :23:38.best player. It is an important period for this club, but I'm
:23:38. > :23:44.confident that we'll get over it in a very successful way, but we need
:23:44. > :23:49.to remain united and not get the media to manipulate our fans in the
:23:49. > :23:55.way that they should not do it. It could get worse for Arsenal,
:23:55. > :23:59.with their other star player, Samir Nasri, on the verge of a move to
:23:59. > :24:01.Manchester City. In Arsene Wenger's 15 years at Arsenal, he's become
:24:01. > :24:06.their most successful ever manager winning three Premier League titles
:24:06. > :24:10.and four FA Cups. But it's now been six seasons since the club last won
:24:10. > :24:14.silverware and the fans are growing impatient.
:24:14. > :24:18.We can see that the best players are looking elsewhere, for bigger
:24:18. > :24:22.wages and tro try to win trophies. Arsenal need to look at their
:24:22. > :24:26.financial model and set-up to make sure we can compete with the very
:24:26. > :24:30.best. Even at �35 million, the best team in the world will feel they've
:24:30. > :24:35.got themselves something of a bargain, in a sport where money
:24:35. > :24:39.talks for Fabregas at least, home is where the heart is.
:24:39. > :24:43.The post-Fabregas era begins in earnest here at the Emirates
:24:43. > :24:47.tomorrow night when Arsenal take on Udinese in a key Champions League
:24:47. > :24:51.qualifier. The task facing Arsene Wenger is to help this club to move
:24:51. > :24:55.on from the trauma of recent weeks, to replace Cesc Fabregas, to
:24:55. > :24:59.rebuild the team around the likes of Jack willshire and to prove
:24:59. > :25:03.Arsenal are not a team in decline. It could be the greatest challenge
:25:03. > :25:07.of the Frenchman's career. It's one of the publishing word's
:25:07. > :25:11.most successful books of the last decade. One Day has sold over a
:25:11. > :25:15.million copies since it came out and now filmmakers are hoping to
:25:15. > :25:20.repeat that success on screen. Here is our arts correspondent, Rebecca
:25:20. > :25:23.Jones on what the producers hope will be this summer's cinema
:25:23. > :25:30.blockbuster. Meet Emma and Dexter. If you don't know them already, you
:25:30. > :25:35.haven't read One Day. We've never actually met. Actually we have
:25:35. > :25:42.several times. Have we? You gate- crashed my birthday party, called
:25:42. > :25:48.me Julie and spilt red wine down my top... We revisit their lives on
:25:48. > :25:51.the same day each decade. The writer of the book and the screen
:25:51. > :25:55.play explains. People make a strong connection between the book and
:25:55. > :26:00.their own lives. Most of the messages I receive say things like,
:26:00. > :26:03.I am Emma or I know a Dexter, they make a connection between
:26:03. > :26:07.themselves and the characters in the novel and I think that's quite
:26:07. > :26:11.rare. The book has enjoyed huge success.
:26:11. > :26:15.It was first published two years ago and since then it's sold over a
:26:16. > :26:22.million copies in the UK alone. It's also been translated into 40
:26:22. > :26:26.languages, including Arabic, Greek and Chinese.
:26:26. > :26:31.The question now is whether that success can be matched at the
:26:31. > :26:35.multiplexes. Fans of the novel won't necessarily love the film.
:26:35. > :26:37.Especially with an American actress adopting a Yorkshire accent to play
:26:37. > :26:43.Emma. It was a big learning experience
:26:43. > :26:46.for me to do the accent and there were plenty of times when I thought
:26:46. > :26:51.I couldn't do it and other people thought I couldn't do it. Once I
:26:51. > :26:59.got into Emma and who she was, the act isn't became less important and
:26:59. > :27:06.I basically put my best accent out there and hoped it was up to snuff.
:27:06. > :27:11.Absolutely no skiddy tipping. will be a tall order for One Day at
:27:11. > :27:12.the box office to beat the success it's had with the book. Now the
:27:12. > :27:17.it's had with the book. Now the weather with Matt.
:27:18. > :27:22.Things are changing tonight for many of us. A cloudy and
:27:22. > :27:26.increasingly damp night. Norwich, Newcastle and Edinburgh, you have
:27:26. > :27:31.the sunshine ahead at the moment, but it won't last. Rain in Northern
:27:31. > :27:37.Ireland, Wales and the south-west. Many will see a little bit of damp
:27:37. > :27:40.damp weather overnight. In the west, it will turn misty and murky. Not a
:27:40. > :27:44.chilly night by any means, warmer than last night with temperatures
:27:44. > :27:47.in double figures as we start Tuesday. For the Midlands and
:27:48. > :27:52.northern England, it will be a grey start.
:27:52. > :27:55.A bit of light rain or drizzle elsewhere extending into southern
:27:55. > :27:59.Scotland. The north-east of Scotland staying mostly dry.
:27:59. > :28:02.Sunshine here for a short while. Heavy rain lurking in the Hebrides.
:28:02. > :28:06.That will have cleared from Northern Ireland so something drier
:28:06. > :28:10.in places but still a fairly cloudy start. Grey conditions will greet
:28:10. > :28:14.you in the morning in Wales and the south-west. The rain will be fairly
:28:14. > :28:18.light and patchy. More persistent over the hills. It will be a grey
:28:18. > :28:23.start with some mist and hill fog around. Grey too across much of the
:28:23. > :28:26.Midlands and the south. Not much wet weather, just the odd spot of
:28:26. > :28:30.light rain or drizzle. Fairly cloudy with one or two brighter
:28:30. > :28:34.breaks into the afternoon. The wettest conditions for the day will
:28:35. > :28:38.tend to be across Scotland. The rain in the Hebrides pushing north
:28:38. > :28:43.and east. Something brighter towards the west later on. If you
:28:43. > :28:47.get a few breaks, you could get highs of around 21. Into Tuesday
:28:47. > :28:50.night, the rain heaviest in Scotland. It will ease away. We'll
:28:50. > :28:53.see some clearer skies into Wednesday. For Wednesday and
:28:53. > :28:56.Thursday, a lot more brighter weather around where the cloud
