A warning on fuel prices after a major oil refinery in Essex goes | 0:00:01 | 0:00:07 | |
bust. This plant is one of only eight refineries across the UK, up | 0:00:07 | 0:00:12 | |
to 1,000 jobs are at risk. What will it mean when we fill up? | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
Experts say the bankruptcy comes on top of other problems in the | 0:00:16 | 0:00:21 | |
industry. All of that is going to mean further pressure on price as | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
we have to import more product and I can see a new record for diesel | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
within days. Also tonight: More gloomy forecasts | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
for the economy. A recession in the eurozone, a slow down across the | 0:00:32 | 0:00:37 | |
world and Britain's debt hits a trillion pounds - that's a record. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |

something positive will come out of it and even if it doesn't improve | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |

News at Six. One of the UK's eight oil refineries has gone bust, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
prompting fears that it could lead to a disruption in fuel supplies. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:48 | |
More than 800 jobs at the plant in Coryton, Essex are now at risk. The | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
refinery supplies a tenth of all the fuel in Britain. Industry | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
experts are already predicting a hike in the price at the pump. Our | 0:01:55 | 0:02:01 | |
industry correspondent John Moylan has the story. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
This huge complex is a key part of our energy infrastructure. But | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
tonight it's in the hands of administrators, its future and that | 0:02:09 | 0:02:14 | |
of its 1,000 employees is now uncertain. A lot of apprehension. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
People don't know what's going to happen, insecure about their future. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:23 | |
But I think there's a little bit of quiet optimism that people do | 0:02:23 | 0:02:29 | |
believe that they are a viable concern, as a refinery, and very | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
hopeful that something can be done to solve the situation and a buyer | 0:02:33 | 0:02:38 | |
may be found. The problems here were triggered by the bankruptcy of | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
the plant's Swiss parent company. Coryton is one of the UK's eight | 0:02:42 | 0:02:48 | |
refineries. The plant can refine around 17 ra,000 -- 175,000 barrels | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
a day, around 10% of UK fuel needs. Should we be worried about | 0:02:52 | 0:02:57 | |
supplies? Supplies in the UK should be absolutely fine. Our reserves | 0:02:57 | 0:03:02 | |
exceed two months' work at any given time, so even if every | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
refinery closed simultaneously we would have adequate. The realish | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
sue a logistics issue, those supplies are around the country in | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
reserve, they've all to be moved to the right places at the right time. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:18 | |
But Coryton also provides around 20% of the fuel in London and the | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
south-east. BP is its biggest customer, today the company | 0:03:22 | 0:03:28 | |
insisted it had no supply problems across its network. But there were | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
problems elsewhere. In Lincolnshire around 100 tanker drivers started | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
seven days of strike action. It's all led some to warn of higher | 0:03:36 | 0:03:42 | |
prices on the forecourts in the days to come. With the petrol plus | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
refinery in some doubt, we have tanker drivers striking, all of | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
that is going to mean further pressure on price as we have to | 0:03:50 | 0:03:57 | |
import more product. I can see a new record for diesel within days. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:02 | |
At Coryton's refinery this is how... Once refineries were owned by the | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
big oil giants, but in recent years they've been sold to smaller | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
independent firms, which don't have such deep pockets when times get | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
tough. Tonight some petrol companies are | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
seeking other sources of supply, and the search for a buyer for this | 0:04:16 | 0:04:21 | |
plant continues. And John is at the refinery now. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:26 | |
Presumably there are talks going on, what's the latest? Well, today the | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
plant has been continuing to operate. It's refining crude oil | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
and that's sort of the plan. So they're talking to the companies | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
who take fuel out of here, the likes of BP and talking to giants | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
who bring crude oil in here to try and ensure those contracts continue, | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
and that fuel continues to flow through and that hopefully supplies | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
could start coming out of the plant in the next few days. Of course, | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
longer-term what they really need here probably is a new buyer. The | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
good news on that front is that this is a profitable plant, whereas | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
many across Europe are not, and there are reports tonight that | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
there have been some expressions of interest in the plant. But all of | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
that will take sometime. You have to say that tonight the future of | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
this really important part of our energy infrastructure still looks | 0:05:08 | 0:05:16 | |
uncertain. New figures on Britain's economic | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
prospects have been released today and they make for some gloomy | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
reading. The International Monetary Fund has revised down its forecast | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
for growth here. It comes on the day that Britain's debt topped a | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
trillion pounds. As our economics editor, Stephanie Flanders, reports, | 0:05:26 | 0:05:31 | |
we are not alone. The IMF is warning of a tough road ahead for | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
the eurozone. The International Monetary Fund | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
doesn't know what's going to happen to the global economy in 2012, but | 0:05:39 | 0:05:45 | |
it's not looking good. Its latest forecast say the global recovery | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
has stalled, down side risks are intensifying and the financial | 0:05:49 | 0:05:55 | |
systems deep into the danger zone. It's all thanks to the crisis | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
across the Channel. The epicentre of the danger is Europe, but the | 0:05:59 | 0:06:06 | |
rest of the world is increasingly affected. There's an even greater | 0:06:06 | 0:06:11 | |
danger, namely that the European crisis intensifies, in this case | 0:06:11 | 0:06:16 | |
the world could be plunged into another recession. Where do we fit | 0:06:16 | 0:06:21 | |
into this gloomy picture? The answer is somewhere in the middle. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:26 | |
The funds still expects the US economy to grow in 2012, that's not | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
what President Obama would be hoping for, but it's a lot better | 0:06:29 | 0:06:35 | |
than most. The forecast for the UK this year has been cut to just 0.6%, | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
slightly less than the official forecast. And even that's better | 0:06:39 | 0:06:44 | |
than the eurozone, which is expecting to shrink slightly in | 0:06:44 | 0:06:50 | |
2012, with much sharper downturns for countries like Spain and Italy. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:54 | |
European finance Ministers disappointed the markets today by | 0:06:54 | 0:07:00 | |
failing to reach a deal on Greek debt, but it's not just Greece, the | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
IMF says debt, private and public, is weighing on all of the advanced | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
economies, and so are Government efforts to get the debt under | 0:07:07 | 0:07:14 | |
control. Increasing debt is a marathon, not a sprint. Going too | 0:07:14 | 0:07:19 | |
fast will kill growth and further derail the recovery. It is useful | 0:07:19 | 0:07:24 | |
to remember that it took more than two decades to successfully | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
decrease debt from its World War II levels. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
Does that mean the fund wants the Government to ease up on cutting | 0:07:32 | 0:07:42 | |
0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | ||
our deficit? Well, yes. Today the UK Government's debt rose | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
to over a trillion pounds, believe it or not that's below average for | 0:07:49 | 0:07:55 | |
an economy of our size, but it's still the equivalent of �16,000 for | 0:07:55 | 0:08:00 | |
everyone in the country. It has hit a new high but that was expected. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
The positive news is the monthly figures are starting to come down | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
and down considerably. So if that does offer the Government more room | 0:08:06 | 0:08:11 | |
to offer a fiscal stimulus that's good news for the UK. The message | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
from the IMF today is he shouldn't expect a lot more good news on | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
borrowing or the economy, if the world can't put the eurozone crisis | 0:08:19 | 0:08:28 | |
hyped it -- behind it. Police are investigating the death | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
of a sixth person which they think may be linked to saline drip | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
contamination at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport. Detectives | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
believe 73-year-old John Beeley was among the 21 people poisoned with | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
insulin last July. A 46-year-old nurse has been arrested and bailed | 0:08:39 | 0:08:45 | |
in connection with the investigation. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
The source of a deadly infection that has claimed the lives of three | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
babies at the Royal Maternity Hospital in Belfast has been traced | 0:08:51 | 0:08:56 | |
to the taps in the neo-natal unit. All of the taps and connecting | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
pipework are to be removed to eliminate all trace of the pseudo- | 0:08:59 | 0:09:05 | |
monas bacterium. A �10,000 reward for information is | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
being offered by police investigating the escape of a | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
murder suspect from a prison van. John Anslow, who is 31, got away | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
when the vehicle taking him to court was ambushed near Bromsgrove, | 0:09:14 | 0:09:19 | |
in Birmingham on Monday. Let's get the latest from Daniel Boettcher | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
who joins us now from outside Staffordshire Police headquarters. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:28 | |
Are the police any closer to finding this man, Daniel? Well, | 0:09:28 | 0:09:33 | |
it's almost 36 hours since he escaped. Police have not found him | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
but they say their investigation continues to move quickly, they're | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
following several lines of inquiry. He escaped yesterday morning when | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
the van that was taking him from prison near Redditch to Stafford | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
Crown Court was stopped by a gang of masked men armed with sledge | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
hammers. Police are interested in the movement of two cars they | 0:09:52 | 0:09:59 | |
believe were used by the gang in the escape, one was later found | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
abandoned and a silver Mercedes. Police have offered a �10,000 | 0:10:02 | 0:10:07 | |
reward for information that leads to the arrest of John Anslow and | 0:10:07 | 0:10:12 | |
this afternoon we got an update on the latest in this inquiry from the | 0:10:12 | 0:10:17 | |
detective superintendent. Last night search warrants were | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
executed at five homes in the West Midlands area. We have recovered | 0:10:21 | 0:10:26 | |
some property following the searches and this is now being | 0:10:26 | 0:10:32 | |
further examined. We also arrested a 44-year-old man from the Tipton | 0:10:32 | 0:10:38 | |
area last night on suspicion of assisting an offender. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
They give -- to give you a sense of the scope of the inquiry police are | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
liaising with other forces in the UK, also with the UK Border Agency | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
and with authorities in other countries, too. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:56 | |
Thank you. The trial of the Spurs manager, | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
Harry Redknapp, has been told that he failed to declare his offshore | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
bank account for six years, only registering it with tax officials | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
two months after he'd been arrested. Mr Redknapp denies two charges of | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
tax evasion. From Southwark Crown Court, here's our sports | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
correspondent James Pearce. There's some flash photography in this | 0:11:10 | 0:11:15 | |
report. Arriving at court, the second day | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
of a trial which has put the the financial affairs of the Tottenham | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
manager in the spotlight. And made his dog one of the best known in | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
the country. That's because rosy, on the left, is alleged to have | 0:11:26 | 0:11:30 | |
given her name to the Monaco bank account which at the heart of this | 0:11:30 | 0:11:35 | |
case. The court was told today about the conflicting reasons given | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
by Redknapp and Mandaric, the former Portsmouth owner, about why | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
the money was put there in the first place. The prosecution have | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
pointed to the transfer of Peter Crouch, they claim that Harry | 0:11:46 | 0:11:53 | |
Redknapp was unhappy about his 5% share of the profit, demanding 10%. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
Mandaric told a reporter from the News of the World who got hold of | 0:11:56 | 0:12:00 | |
some of this information that the transfer was nothing to do with | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
bonuses, not money from football. But Harry Redknapp told the same | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
reporter that the money was paid to me as a bonus for selling Peter | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
Crouch. The prosecution told the jury that | 0:12:10 | 0:12:15 | |
Harry Redknapp had kept quiet about his Monaco account, in fact he | 0:12:15 | 0:12:19 | |
hadn't told his own accountant for four and a half years. Later in | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
interviews with the police Harry Redknapp said that was because he | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
didn't realise there was any money still left in the account. He | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
claimed that Mandaric had told him that the investment there had been | 0:12:29 | 0:12:36 | |
a disaster, totally wiped out. Harry Redknapp and Mandaric both | 0:12:36 | 0:12:41 | |
deny using the account in Monaco to avoid paying taxes. The trial is | 0:12:41 | 0:12:50 | |
due to last two weeks. The time is coming up to 13 minutes | 0:12:50 | 0:12:55 | |

For the first time scientists have used stem cells derived from human | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
embryoes in the treatment of eye disease, the experts say helping | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
the blind to see again is a long way off, but two patients who | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
received stem cell injections into their retinas had slight | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
improvement in their sight. Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
is here. How important are these latest trials? | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
Well, we have to be cautious because the trial involved just two | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
people and and its aim was to see whether the treatment was safe, not | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
if it was effective. A newly fertilised human embryo has the | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
potential to turn into any tissue, that's why many scientists believe | 0:14:13 | 0:14:17 | |
the stem cells inside offer potential to treat a vast range of | 0:14:17 | 0:14:22 | |
diseases. But the destruction of embryoes just a few days old has | 0:14:22 | 0:14:27 | |
made it controversial. American scientists manipulated embryo stem | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
cells to become become specialised eye cells and injected them into | 0:14:31 | 0:14:37 | |
the back of the eye of two patients. Their vision is so poor their | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
registered blind and the hope was the treatment might restore some of | 0:14:41 | 0:14:46 | |
their damaged eye cells. Both patients noticed a slight | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
improvement in vision, that might be down to chance, but importantly, | 0:14:50 | 0:14:55 | |
they suffered no ill-effects. Marcus Hilton, who runs a bar in | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
West Yorkshire, is the first patient in Europe to have the | 0:14:59 | 0:15:04 | |
treatment. He has a disease which means his sight's been getting | 0:15:04 | 0:15:14 | |

it has always been like that. eye specialist at Moorfields | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |

world. There is little we can do for people at the moment and it is | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
exciting to start to test the potential of new interventions. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:53 | |
Marcus had his treatment last week so it will be some time before he | 0:15:53 | 0:15:59 | |
knows whether it has had any effect. It is exciting, hopefully something | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
positive will come out of it and even if it doesn't improve my sight, | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
if it might improve the level it is that now, that will be good enough. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:12 | |
This trial is the first time a treatment involving a human | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |

it is far too early to know whether the treatment reworks and what its | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
potential might be in the future. - - really works. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |

Egypt will be decided. Not in Tahrir Square, but in the thousands | 0:17:01 | 0:17:06 | |
of villages where most Egyptians live. Deeply conservative and a | 0:17:06 | 0:17:13 | |
long way from Cairo. This is the heartland of the Salafists. Ahmed | 0:17:13 | 0:17:19 | |
and his wife are Salafists. They want and Egypt where Islamic Sharia | 0:17:19 | 0:17:28 | |
law is applied to every aspect of life. TRANSLATION: Islam is king. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:33 | |
If someone steals, his hand will be cut off. Killers will be killed. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:42 | |
And adulterers will be stoned to 20 minutes' drive away, Stan the | 0:17:42 | 0:17:47 | |
ancient ruins of Luxor. This place draws thousands of tourists from | 0:17:47 | 0:17:53 | |
across the world. Outside, a group of German tourists is grilling the | 0:17:53 | 0:17:58 | |
newly elected local MP. Cut off your hand if you take something. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:04 | |
Yes. They have to stay in your constitution? Abdul is from the | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
Muslim Brotherhood. The biggest party in the new parliament. That | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
is something that needs to be handed in the court, cutting the | 0:18:11 | 0:18:17 | |
hands is not an end in itself. But the essence of it is to protect the | 0:18:17 | 0:18:22 | |
larger society. The German tourists do not look reassured. Since last | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
year's revolution, tourists have deserted Egypt. Now the industry | 0:18:26 | 0:18:32 | |
must deal with the new power of the Islamists. I have just sat down at | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
this cafe on the waterfront and opened the menu and there's a whole | 0:18:35 | 0:18:39 | |
page of alcoholic drinks. When I tried to order a beer are was told | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
they no longer serve alcohol here, the waiter said they are scared of | 0:18:43 | 0:18:49 | |
what he called the men with beards. The men with beards would certainly | 0:18:49 | 0:18:57 | |
not approve of this or anything like it. And back in the village, | 0:18:57 | 0:19:02 | |
the local English teacher is also one of the Salafists and he has | 0:19:02 | 0:19:06 | |
this description for this thousands of tourists visiting Egypt speeches. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:11 | |
Why not have special beaches for women to swim and we can also have | 0:19:11 | 0:19:17 | |
special beaches for men. It may not be what Egypt's liberals and its | 0:19:17 | 0:19:22 | |
Western friends want to hear, but out here, such friends -- views are | 0:19:22 | 0:19:27 | |
extremely common and can no longer be ignored. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
A British soldier serving with the 200 Signals Squadron has died at a | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
patrol base in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand province. The | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
Ministry of Defence said the death was not thought to be the result of | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
hostile action. The soldier's family has been informed. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
Divers searching the wreck of the Costa Concordia cruise liner have | 0:19:44 | 0:19:49 | |
found another body. It brings to 16 the number of bodies found on the | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
ship which ran aground on the island of Giglio 11 days ago. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
Salvage operators have attached a platform to the hulk and are | 0:19:55 | 0:20:00 | |
working on ways of draining the fuel from the wreck. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
The Sunday Times has handed police emails linked to the investigation | 0:20:03 | 0:20:07 | |
into the Energy Secretary Chris Huhne. There have been allegations | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
that Mr Huhne asked his wife to take penalty points after he was | 0:20:11 | 0:20:16 | |
caught speeding. The nominations for the 84th | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
Academy Awards have been announced in Los Angeles. The Martin Scorsese | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
children's film, Hugo, is leading the field with 11 Oscar nominations, | 0:20:23 | 0:20:28 | |

Leithead joins us live from Los Yes, those other two films that | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
stand out from the crowd. The French silent-movie The Artist and | 0:20:44 | 0:20:49 | |
Hugo. Brad Pitt and George Clooney go head to head in Best actor, | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
along with British hopeful Gary Goldman, who has also been | 0:20:53 | 0:20:57 | |
nominated for the first time. As you would expect, it was a very | 0:20:57 | 0:21:04 | |
This morning, we will share the news we have all been waiting for. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
It seems nothing matters more in Hollywood than this. The Oscars | 0:21:09 | 0:21:14 | |
have always been the most formal award ceremony, as well as the most | 0:21:14 | 0:21:20 | |
prestigious. And in the melee of names, if you stood out. Hugo. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:26 | |
Their descendants. The Artist. all, The Artist picked up 10 | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
nominations, including best film, director and actor. The Descendants | 0:21:30 | 0:21:36 | |
took five, it is also a favourite for best picture, as is Hugo, | 0:21:36 | 0:21:41 | |
nominated in 11 categories, most of them technical. For best actor, | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
George Clooney in The Descendants goes up against Brad Pitt for | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
Moneyball. And the best British hope lies with Gary Oldman and and | 0:21:48 | 0:21:53 | |
his role in tinker tailor soldier Spy. His first Oscar nomination. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:57 | |
Meryl Streep's portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in the Iron Lady | 0:21:57 | 0:22:01 | |
is a favourite for Best actress category, up against Michelle | 0:22:01 | 0:22:08 | |
Williams in My Week With Marilyn and viola Davies in the help. The | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
entertainment reporter has managed to rev up their excitement. Right | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
now it is all about Hugo and The Artist. Despite the announcement | 0:22:15 | 0:22:22 | |
being made before dawn in LA. It hit the American breakfast shows. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:27 | |
If The Artist wins Best Film, it will be only the second time a | 0:22:27 | 0:22:33 | |
silent movie has won the top prize since Wings won at the first ever | 0:22:33 | 0:22:38 | |
Academy Awards in 1929. The Artist is the No. 1 contender right now | 0:22:38 | 0:22:42 | |
because everybody has a crush on it. They are delighted with it. But | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
there are big reservations about whether it is really an Oscar | 0:22:46 | 0:22:51 | |
winner for best picture. George Clooney has never won an Oscar for | 0:22:51 | 0:22:55 | |
best leading actor. His Golden Globe has tipped the odds in his | 0:22:55 | 0:23:00 | |
favour for The Descendants. And it would be Brad Pitt's first gong for | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
best actor if he won. Tinker tailor soldier Spy was ignored by the | 0:23:05 | 0:23:11 | |
Golden Globes. If you're caught... The film gives Gary Oldman his | 0:23:11 | 0:23:15 | |
first ticket to the awards, which will be held on the last Sunday in | 0:23:15 | 0:23:19 | |
February. Everybody seems to be talking about The Artist. Do you | 0:23:19 | 0:23:27 | |
think it will do it? Oh dear. I'm sorry. We seem to have lost | 0:23:27 | 0:23:31 | |
Alastair. Now, �41 million - how would you | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
spend it? Well, for one Nottinghamshire couple, that's | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
reality not fantasy tonight. Gareth and Catherine Bull hit the | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
EuroMillions jackpot and they've been speaking about their new life | 0:23:38 | 0:23:48 | |

as the Mansfield millionaires, as This contains flash photography. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
This is Mansfield, home to Britain's newest multi-millionaires, | 0:23:53 | 0:23:57 | |
the whole town has been guessing who they might be until this | 0:23:57 | 0:24:02 | |
afternoon. Gareth and Catherine Ball collected their lottery | 0:24:02 | 0:24:06 | |
winnings and a much bigger cheque than they were expecting. You're | 0:24:06 | 0:24:10 | |
looking at the numbers and trying to comprehend things. It must be �4 | 0:24:10 | 0:24:18 | |
million, maybe. So how do you tell the family? I said I need to tell | 0:24:18 | 0:24:26 | |
you we have won a raffle. Then your mum said, do you mean the lottery? | 0:24:26 | 0:24:32 | |
It all clicked. The big one on Friday? Yes. She just cried and | 0:24:32 | 0:24:36 | |
screamed. We are all encouraged to save for a rainy day, but it was | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
the wet weather that stopped Gareth ball from working so he popped in | 0:24:40 | 0:24:45 | |
here and bought a ticket worth a fortune. There were no set numbers | 0:24:45 | 0:24:50 | |
or superstitions behind the jackpot. Gareth, a self-employed builder, | 0:24:50 | 0:24:58 | |
took the lucky dip option. First thing, I will check my ticket! If I | 0:24:58 | 0:25:04 | |
am not the winner, my brother called me, he's the boss. So happy. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:10 | |
Good luck to them. Whoever it is. All week I come in here so | 0:25:10 | 0:25:15 | |
hopefully it is my lucky week! Fingers crossed! When you think | 0:25:15 | 0:25:21 | |
about the champagne lifestyle they can now accelerate into, they are | 0:25:21 | 0:25:25 | |
now appearing to have modest plans. Get a box at Old Trafford, football | 0:25:25 | 0:25:30 | |
ground and cricket. You're a big fan? A big man United fan. I could | 0:25:30 | 0:25:35 | |
not afford a season-ticket any more. I said a carpet for my landing! | 0:25:35 | 0:25:39 | |
news is still sinking in for Britain's 7th biggest EuroMillions | 0:25:39 | 0:25:43 | |
winners. They left here to tell their children, who may have a few | 0:25:43 | 0:25:52 | |
ideas of their own about what to do with �40 million. Great stuff. We | 0:25:52 | 0:25:55 | |

sunshine today. A grey day across the country and it was cold as well. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:09 | |
Tomorrow should be brighter and it will be a bit warmer because | 0:26:09 | 0:26:13 | |
tonight, at milder air is spreading across the country. One of foes | 0:26:13 | 0:26:17 | |
nights where temperatures will rise, particularly in the east. It will | 0:26:17 | 0:26:22 | |
be a cloudy night, further rain for many in Scotland and parts of | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
eastern England. Damp and drizzly almost anywhere. Look at these | 0:26:25 | 0:26:29 | |
temperatures. This time yesterday they were dropping to freezing. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:34 | |
Tonight, no hint of a frost. It will be a milder day tomorrow, but | 0:26:34 | 0:26:38 | |
in the West there will be a brisk wind blowing, particularly across | 0:26:38 | 0:26:43 | |
western Scotland. Wet and windy here and rain moving across | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
Northern Ireland. Slowly approaching Western parts of | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
England and Wales, arriving in the afternoon. Look at these | 0:26:49 | 0:26:55 | |
temperatures. 10 or 11 Celsius. Central and eastern areas will | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
generally be dry, but it will be cloudy. Today across parts of | 0:26:59 | 0:27:04 | |
Yorkshire, just one or two Celsius. Tomorrow, nine of ten Celsius. A | 0:27:04 | 0:27:09 | |
windy day for Northern Ireland and western Scotland. That rain in the | 0:27:09 | 0:27:13 | |
West is from this cold front, which steadily sweeps across the country | 0:27:13 | 0:27:18 | |
tomorrow night, bringing all of us a spell of rain and also it | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
reintroduces the cold air. Tomorrow night, the frost returns and it | 0:27:21 | 0:27:26 | |
could turn icy across the North. The rain across the south-east is | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
there early on Thursday but it soon moved away and we should see | 0:27:29 | 0:27:33 | |
brighter skies. But there will be showers developing. By Friday, not | 0:27:34 | 0:27:37 | |
so many showers and a better chance of sunshine. Further north, a | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
mixture of sunshine and showers on Thursday, but those showers will | 0:27:41 | 0:27:46 | |
turn wintry with the cold air. By Friday, the weather looks like | 0:27:46 | 0:27:50 | |
coming down, which may continue into the weekend. It turns milder | 0:27:50 | 0:27:52 | |
tonight and milder tomorrow, but tonight and milder tomorrow, but | 0:27:52 | 0:27:56 | |
then it will get colder as we head towards the weekend. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:01 | |
