After weeks of protests by anti- capitalists, another high profile | :00:06. | :00:12. | |
resignation at St Paul's Cathedral. This time it's the Dean, Graeme | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Knowles, who says his position became untenable. Colleagues say | :00:15. | :00:25. | |
:00:25. | :00:26. | ||
they're shocked. I'll regard this as a tragedy for a | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
man who has served a very distinguished way. With protesters | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
still camped outside, we'll be asking where St Paul's goes from | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
here. Also on the programme. Looking for growth amid more bleak | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
economic warnings. Nick Clegg explains where a billion pounds of | :00:39. | :00:46. | |
government money will go. What we are doing is investing in | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
success, building jobs that last in areas where for too long word over | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
reliant on the beck and call of Whitehall. Battle of the | :00:55. | :00:58. | |

After two weeks of turmoil, it is the biggest convulsion of all. Rt | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
Rev Graeme Knowles was the chairman of the board, he had a casting vote, | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
enormous prestige, but in the end he felt that made him responsible | :02:12. | :02:20. | |
for the serious mistakes which appear to have been made here. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
Only hours from his resignation, his body language betrayed the | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
enormous pressure he was under. Visibly uncomfortable as he asked | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
protesters yesterday to give St Paul's the space to pursue social | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
justice in its own way. I find it quite difficult that you assume | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
that I do not hold the same views as you, simply because I do not use | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
the same methods of expressing my views as you. To date, the news | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
that has shocked the church, a statement from the Dean saying he | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
was going, with immediate effect. It has become increasingly clear to | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
me that, as criticism of the cathedral has mounted in the press, | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
media and in public opinion, my position as Dean of St Paul's was | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
becoming untenable. Protesters said they had not wanted to force him | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
out. There have been times when there have been certain amounts of, | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
let's say, pressure, going around. This is a good show of one her to | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
resign. Everyone here is it really shocked. I am personally saddened | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
he felt he had to stand down. We want to get back to the issues, as | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
when we met with them on Sunday. 15th October when protesters were | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
barred from the Stock Exchange, the cathedral appeared to offer | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
sanctuary. A week later, the cathedral suddenly closed, citing | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
health and safety concerns. On 27th October, Rev Dr Giles Fraser | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
resigned saying he could not sanction the use of force to evict | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
protesters. Then today came the most dramatic development, the Dean | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
forced out of office by a public protest. The Bishop of London will | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
take over those duties. He said the resignation was a tragic and had | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
saddened him. He made clear the cathedral's policy would not change. | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
I am not taking a softer line at all. As people were saying to me | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
yesterday morning, the camp site has have to disappear at some point, | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
has to be scaled down. The cathedral is prudent and sensible | :04:39. | :04:49. | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 89 seconds | :04:49. | :06:18. | |
in exploring the legal territory. The Government thinks babies are | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
waiting to long to be adopted. 3050 children were adopted last year. On | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
average, they waited two years and seven months. Roger and Helen know | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
all about the frustrations of adoption. They got a negative | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
response from their local councils are went around an agency and | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
adopted three siblings whose identity they want to protect. | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
There was a set of demands we were expected to comply with, which were | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
quite critical if you did not understand what they wanted you to | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
do. Or if you had a difficult to with the hoops that you had to jump | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
through. The Government thinks too many councils are limiting the pull | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
of prospective adopters by rejecting them because of age or | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
ethnicity. It has ranked councils to name and shame them on councils | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
-- on adopting, also on what -- on adopting, also on what | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
happens to children in their care. But the tables show that York, | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
South Tyneside and Hartlepool came top over the last few years for | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
placing those destined for adoption with families within 12 months. | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
Hackney and Brent did well on other Hackney and Brent did well on other | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
measures but came bottom on speed. On average, children are waiting | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
over two years to get adopted. That over two years to get adopted. That | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
is not good enough. There is a massive gap between the practice of | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
best authorities and the worst. We need a culture change in this | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
country, to be more pro adoption. country, to be more pro adoption. | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
For many children, it is the right answer. Adoption is one of the most | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
emotive issues. The vast majority of children in care will have | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
experienced neglect or abuse and need care. Many agree that the | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
system is too slow but they say that decisions about adoption | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
cannot be rushed. Officials in charge in Hackney, where adoption | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
take longer, say that those that do take place a strong and lasting and | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
that is what counts. Hackney is the top counsel for the suitability of | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
placement. We make placements that last, we do not make placements | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
that breakdown. We are concerned about timeliness and we work hard | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
to get the right people for the right children. Ministers have | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
focused on speed. But with one in five adoptions breaking down, many | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
think Supporting families after they adopt a child should have the | :08:35. | :08:43. | |
New details of which companies are in line for investment totalling | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
nearly �1 billion have been unveiled by the government. The | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said the money would help to create | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
or safeguard more than 200,000 jobs. Labour's criticised the move, | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
saying the government is failing to deal with a "perfect storm" in the | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
economy. And there were more warnings today of a possible global | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
recession. Our deputy political editor James Lansdale has the | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
latest. Looking for growth, that is what | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
Nick Clegg was doing today, announcing when �950 million of | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
money would be invested over three years to encourage private | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
investment. With �36 million coming to this steel plant near his | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
constituency. They were not always smiling, last year he was attacked | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
for blocking and �80 million loan to the same company. As part of | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
government cuts. Now he says cash is available and it will make a | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
difference. It is very excitement, this is a fund where we use | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
taxpayers' money and for every pound of taxpayers' money to | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
private sector puts up �6 to create and safeguard jobs in areas like | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
this where for too long they were dependent under Labour on handouts. | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
In Sheffield, this company suppliers electrical parts for cars, | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
employees 14 people. Getting finance is always difficult. If you | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
don't need it you can get as much as you want. If there is a slight | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
risk, they want your house, everything put in. 119 firms are | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
getting loans from the growth fund. But the news in the global economy | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
is bleak. The OECD has said the eurozone would grow by 2% next year. | :10:37. | :10:46. | |
To date it cut that to just 0.3%. At an engineering firm in Derby, | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
Labour's leader attacked the government and said today's grants | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
were too little too late. We have a perfect storm in our economy of | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
higher unemployment, higher inflation. Energy bills are going | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
up. Pay at the top is going up by 50% while everyone's standards are | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
being squeezed. The government has not come to grips with the problem. | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
The latest figures are out tomorrow and a few at the Treasury already | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
know the numbers. Some ministers are hoping for better news but few | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
expect the underlying position to change fundamentally, there is | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
little growth in the system and the government is under pressure to act. | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
But ministers know the fate of the economy may hang more on what it is | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
sited -- of what is decided that the G20 summit in Cannes. | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
Our chief economics correspondent Hugh Pym is here. The government | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
trying to be seen to work hard domestically, but we are part of a | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
global economy. The government would have that | :11:54. | :12:04. | |
:12:04. | :12:04. | ||
knowledge growth strategies can only go so far. We have had this | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
forecast from the OECD's suggesting a marked slowdown next year in the | :12:08. | :12:16. | |
eurozone, assuming Europe's leader model -- leaders muddle through the | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
crisis. Tomorrow we get figures for UK growth in the third quarter. It | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
might show up a little bounce back. But that we -- but the question is, | :12:28. | :12:36. | |
where do we go? October was the best month for the FTSE 100 share | :12:36. | :12:44. | |
index since 2009. But today, it was down a little bit. Fears about the | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
world economy. The US financial broker, M-F Global, | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
has filed for bankruptcy protection in America, partly because of its | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
exposure to the eurozone debt crisis. The company, which employs | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
2,000, 600 of them in London, is attempting to sell some of its | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
assets to a rival. Barclays has reported a 5% rise in | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
profits, helped by continuing cost- cutting. While profits rose at its | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
UK retail banking business, they fell at its main investment banking | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
arm. The company's performance was significantly better than most city | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
analysts had predicted. The Duke of Edinburgh has withdrawn | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
from a trip to Italy because of a cold. The Prince, who's 90, had | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
been due to travel today. He's just returned from an 11-day tour of | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
Australia, and officials expect him to undertake official engagements | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
later in the week. It's been called the "battle of the | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
oligarchs". A courtroom showdown between two of the richest men in | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
Britain. One is the Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, and the other, | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
the exiled Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky. Today, his billion- | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
pound lawsuit brought Mr Abramovich into court to give evidence. Our | :13:46. | :13:56. | |
:13:56. | :13:58. | ||
correspondent Luisa Baldini was there. | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
Roman Abramovich a ride looking relaxed and confident. The | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
fortifies the rod is the third richest person in the UK with an | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
estimated fortune of over �10 billion. He bought Chelsea Football | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
Club in 2003 and has the ear of the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
Putin. Suing him is 65-year-old Boris Berezovsky, worth �500 | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
million, and although he was politically powerful in the 90s, he | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
fell out with Vladimir Putin and fled to Britain. Their argument is | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
over a Russian oil company. Boris Berezovsky claims Roman Abramovich | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
threatened him into selling his shares for refraction of their | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
value. He is suing for breach of trust and contract. Roman | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
Abramovich denies the allegations and says the two men were never | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
business partners but he paid Boris Berezovsky as a power-broker. In | :14:54. | :15:04. | |
:15:04. | :15:10. | ||
statements to the court, he said Roman Abramovich's riches means he | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
lives a lavish life. This is a case about two men who got extremely | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
rich after the collapse of the Soviet Union and about the power | :15:18. | :15:28. | |
:15:28. | :15:30. | ||
struggles in Nottinghamshire. participants of this case, both | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
represent the Russia of we would not associate with, it security | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
obsessed, obscenely wealthy. Roman Abramovich is usually very private. | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
Here in court, between his cross- examinations and the publication of | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
all his statements in English and Russian, light is being shed on | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
Roman Abramovich, the man, his money and the manner he does his | :15:54. | :16:02. | |
Our top story, after weeks of anti- capitalist protest, the Dean of St | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
Paul's Cathedral has stepped down. Coming up, the war memorials looted | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
of metal plaques and the new campaign to stop that happening. | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
In business, a US brokerage firm files for bankruptcy, victim of the | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
Euro debt losses. And the outgoing boss of the European Central Bank | :16:22. | :16:32. | |
:16:32. | :16:35. | ||
Events have been taking place around the world today to mark the | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
birth of the seven billionth person on the planet. The United Nations | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
are calculated that the milestone would be reached today and has been | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
charting the extraordinary rise in the global population from just 3 | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
billion back in 1960. It is estimated that 200,000 babies are | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
born every day, working out at around 80 million a year. | :16:58. | :17:08. | |
:17:08. | :17:08. | ||
Equivalent to the entire population of Germany. | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
A milestone in human history. Born today, this girl in India is the | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
seven billionth person on the planet. So is this boy in Russia | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
and these babies in Australia and Brazil. It is all symbolic. It is | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
impossible to pinpoint the seven billionth person, but there is no | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
doubt that our numbers are rising fast. The world's population is | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
fast. The world's population is projected to reach 8 billion by | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
2025 and 9 billion by 2050. Perhaps 10 billion by the end of the | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
10 billion by the end of the century. Some predictions see it | :17:40. | :17:47. | |
falling by then. Another new arrival at the Whittington Hospital | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
in north London. After two daughters, a son. Three is enough! | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
I will not be having any more. I have done my bit for society. I | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
have never thought about how much people are in the world. You learn | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
something new every day. It is a paradox that although the global | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
population is rising, the number of children women are having on | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
average is falling. That is why, at some point, probably in this little | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
boy's lifetime, the world's population will start to fall. The | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
UK's population, unlike many in UK's population, unlike many in | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
Europe, is set to rise from 62 million to 73 million by 2035. Two- | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
million to 73 million by 2035. Two- thirds is due to migration to the | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
UK and their future children. migrants tend to be young people, | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
often starting families so that they contribute to the birth rate, | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
as well as adding to the population, just due to the fact that more | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
people are entering the UK than leaving it. Born into a world of | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
contradictions. Of plenty for some and poverty for others. The UN says | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
that governments will face rising public anger from the next | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
generation, unless they tackle inequality. | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
War memorials across Britain are being smashed up and stripped of | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
their mettle parks. It is not that the rising price of metal has | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
pushed up the number of incidents. -- metal plaques. The war memorials | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
Trust has launched a campaign to stop it happening. | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
You can see the damage on the corner there. Once you have won out, | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
you can remove the rest. This place of remembrance became a crime scene | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
last month. In the middle of the night, thieves came here and | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
crowbar at all for the metal plaques. With them went the names | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
of more than 4700 young men killed fighting for their country. For | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
local people, it is an attack on the community and on a monument as | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
relevant today as it ever was. Captain Dan Read was killed in | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
Afghanistan last year. It is disgusting. It is just not right. | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
The only reason they can come here at night and do it is because the | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
people on their gave their lives so that we could have an open society. | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
But this is not an isolated example. It is thought at least one memorial | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
every week is vandalised or stolen. The parks here probably only | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
fetched as little as �50. Memorials became widespread only after the | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
First World War. The Cenotaph was originally built out of wood and | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
plaster as a temporary structure. But the public still grieving for | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
the dense, demanded more permanent ways of marking their loss. -- | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
grieving for the dead. Now they are becoming victims of the global rise | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
in metal prices. Police are searching through a scrapyard for | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
stolen materials sold to unscrupulous dealers. They melted | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
down and sell it on again. It is mainly copper and lead but | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
campaigners say as many as three war memorial so weak are being | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
vandalised or stolen to make money. -- war memorials are a week. That | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
comes out very clearly. This week, a new campaign has been launched to | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
trace all the UK's war memorials and mark them protectively. | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
bright green is unique. The police know what they're looking for. If | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
that is found in a scrapyard or in a FIFA's house, he has questions to | :21:31. | :21:39. | |
answer. -- a thief. The town will replace what was lost, but Tim | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
Stone this time. If the names of dead -- if the names of the dead | :21:44. | :21:54. | |
:21:54. | :21:54. | ||
are stolen, the names -- the memory of their own losses lost forever. | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
The NATO's mission in Libya ends tonight. Air strikes began in March | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
as Colonel Gaddafi's forces moved to crush the uprising against him. | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
A small team of military advisers will remain in Libya to help the | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
transitional authorities. Meanwhile, Ban Ki-Moon has said the | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
alliance has no intention of launching a similar operation in | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
support of the uprising in Syria. The Arab League is awaiting a | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
response from Syria to its proposals to end the violence there, | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
which has claimed more than 3000 lives. | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
Israel says that a decision to grant the Palestinians full | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
membership of the United Nations cultural body will harm prospects | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
for the Middle East peace process. Two-thirds of delegates at the | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
UNESCO congress in Paris voted in favour with the United States and | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
Israel posed. Up to 2 million homes in the United | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
States are still without power after a very early and deadly snow | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
storm. At least nine people were killed in small related accidents | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
in the north-east of the US with the worst affected areas stretching | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
from Maryland to Massachusetts. Emergency services are struggling | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
to cope. So begins again. Big winter weather | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
has come early to America. -- so it begins again. New Englanders are | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
digging themselves out and it is only have a win. Over the weekend, | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
more than a third of snow fell, settling on trees that have not | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
lost their leaves and causing tremendous damage. This is our | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
third day without light. It is cold and citizens and children are | :23:28. | :23:36. | |
suffering. No heat, no food, no power. It is October. This aircraft | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
and its 100 passengers were stuck on the tarmac for seven hours at | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
Hartford, Connecticut. The pilot pleaded for help. I have a | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
paraplegic on board that needs to come off. I have a diabetic with an | :23:48. | :23:55. | |
issue. I have to get some help. Today, 2 million people were still | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
without power. Why? Because power lines here still run up of ground. | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
So when those branches come down, so to the electricity cables. | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
Nobody wants to pay to put cables underground. It has become a | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
difficult political sell to say that it makes sense for us to spend | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
more money today so that we can have good infrastructure for | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
decades into the future allowing us to get economic benefits and to get | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
better living standards. When people talk about America's ageing | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
and on reliable infrastructure, this is the sort of thing they mean. | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
Many Americans feel that winter weather really should not make them | :24:32. | :24:41. | |
as missable as it does. -- as miserable. A Red Arrows | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
flypast has paid tribute to one of their own, Jon Egging, who died in | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
a crash in August. He has been remembered at a memorial service at | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
Lincoln Cathedral and in the sky by his former colleagues. | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
A fitting, flying tributes to one of their own. This, the Red Arrows' | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
unique salute to Jon Egging. On the ground, they gathered with grief | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
but also to celebrate the Reif -- the life of Jon Egging, pilot, son, | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
brother, husband and friend. Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging, Harrier | :25:17. | :25:25. | |
pilot, good friend, and thoroughly nice chap. He was the comprehensive | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
school boy who became a Top Gun, one of the RAF's elite pilots, a | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
veteran of the Afghanistan conflict. Less than a year after joining the | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
Red Arrows, tragedy. Jon Egging's plane crashed following a display | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
in Bournemouth. The cause, still unknown. The investigation | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
continues. His death leaves huge gaps. His family are determined | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
that his spirit will continue to inspire young people. He loved what | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
he represented as a young -- Red Arrows pilot and a Harrier pilot. | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
Not only was he aware of his capacity in all of those roles, he | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
also was aware of his responsibility to inspire others. | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
To day has been about dealing with loss and giving thanks for a life. | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
But you also get the sense that it is time for John Akins' beloved Red | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
Arrows to turn their thoughts to the future. -- Jon Egging as'. They | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
had been flying with eight planes and the team but now a new pilots | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
have joined the roster. The Red Arrows, back to full strength but | :26:34. | :26:43. | |
still missing a much-loved, at. still missing a much-loved, at. | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
-- much-loved comrades. We saw the snow in the United | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
States before ourselves, something typically autumnal. Bands of rain | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
and strong wind at times. The wind will be unusually mild for this | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
time of year. If you're about to send the children out trick or | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
treating, through the south-west, Wales and western Scotland, they | :27:04. | :27:11. | |
will be coming home with soggy costumes. The rain will not quite | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
reached the south-east corner overnight, but as the rain Grand -- | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
as the rain band clears, clear skies will mean a drop of | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
temperatures. Northern Ireland waking up with sunshine. In the Far | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
East, starting with cloud and rain but most will see sunshine | :27:28. | :27:34. | |
developed through the morning and into the afternoon. Showers taking | :27:34. | :27:40. | |
us through north-west Scotland during the afternoon. For much of | :27:40. | :27:46. | |
Scotland, staying predominantly dry and bright. Temperatures 12 or 13 | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
in the north-east. It will be a fine day in Northern Ireland with | :27:49. | :27:56. | |
long spells of sunshine. Parts of East Anglia and parts of Sussex, | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
after some heavy rain will still hold on to cloud. Elsewhere, like | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
wind across much of England and Wales. Isolated showers. It is a | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
fine start for November. Staying dry through Tuesday night and | :28:08. | :28:12. | |
Wednesday. But then this low pressure will move in. It has | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
brought the snow to the United States and it is pushing towards us. | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
Rain will reach our shores by Wednesday, particularly in the West. | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
Further east, the breeze will pick up but it will stay dry during the | :28:24. | :28:29. | |
day. Bright or sunny spells, and temperatures above what they should | :28:29. | :28:31. | |
be. Wet weather pushing across all be. Wet weather pushing across all | :28:31. | :28:36. | |
of us during Wednesday night. Thank you very much. A reminder of | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
tonight's main news, after weeks of Paddy Campbell as protests, the | :28:39. | :28:43. |
