:00:11. > :00:15.Murdoch, the former boss of News International is questioned at

:00:15. > :00:17.length at the Leveson Inquiry about his family's influence. In

:00:18. > :00:23.particular, an e-mail trail linking Jeremy Hunt to the Murdochs' during

:00:23. > :00:29.a controversial bid to takeover BSkyB.

:00:29. > :00:36.Do you think it is appropriate Mr Murdoch that here you are getting

:00:36. > :00:42.confidential information as to what is going on at a high level in

:00:42. > :00:47.Government? I think - I think - what I was

:00:47. > :00:49.concerned here was the substance with what was being communicated.

:00:49. > :00:53.Tonight, Downing Street says it has full confidence in the Culture

:00:53. > :00:57.Secretary. We'll have the latest. Also on tonight's programme: The

:02:00. > :02:03.Welcome to the BBC News at Six. The Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt,

:02:03. > :02:08.is facing calls to resign tonight after links between the Murdoch

:02:08. > :02:10.empire and the Government came under intense scrutiny today at the

:02:10. > :02:12.Leveson Inquiry into press standards. James Murdoch, the

:02:12. > :02:15.former chairman of News International, has been repeatedly

:02:15. > :02:17.asked about his dealings with Jeremy Hunt who was responsible for

:02:17. > :02:25.the final decision on the controversial BSkyB takeover that

:02:25. > :02:28.News Corp was so keen to win. Tonight though Downing Street says

:02:28. > :02:34.it has full confidence in the Culture Secretary. Nick Witchell

:02:34. > :02:40.reports. This report contains flash photography.

:02:40. > :02:44.The company which he once led has been accuse. Accuse. Ed of having

:02:44. > :02:47.too close a relationship with individuals. The suggestion is that

:02:47. > :02:51.there was too close a relationship with the office of a Cabinet

:02:51. > :02:56.Minister. In court at the the Royal Courts of

:02:56. > :03:01.Justice, Mr Murdoch stepped forward to give evidence under oath.

:03:01. > :03:03.I swear by almighty god that the evidence I shall give give shall be

:03:03. > :03:08.the hole truth and nothing but the truth.

:03:08. > :03:12.He was taken to phone hacking and time and again, he claimed

:03:12. > :03:18.ignorance of scale of wrongdoing at the company he headed. This isn't

:03:18. > :03:21.was not what I was told at the time. That is not what they communicated

:03:21. > :03:24.to me. And that was it on phone hacking.

:03:25. > :03:29.The former executive chairman either couldn't remember or claimed

:03:29. > :03:32.ignorance. And then to the question of News International's political

:03:32. > :03:37.political links and to the company's bid in 2010 to take

:03:37. > :03:42.control of BSkyB television. It should have been the crowning

:03:42. > :03:44.moment of James Murdoch's career and it seemed to be going so well.

:03:44. > :03:49.The Business Secretary, Vince Cable, had been relieved of responsibility

:03:49. > :03:56.for the decision after making unguarded remarks. Two days after

:03:56. > :04:02.that, Mr Murdoch found himself at a pre-Christmas dinner at the home of

:04:02. > :04:07.of brooks of Rebekah Brooks. One of the guests was David Cameron. So

:04:07. > :04:11.had he discussed the BSkyB bid with the Prime Minister? I hoped that

:04:11. > :04:15.things would be dealt with in a way that was appropriate and judicial.

:04:15. > :04:20.The crucial figure now for News International was Jeremy Hunt, the

:04:20. > :04:26.Culture Secretary. He had a legal obligation to act impartially. The

:04:26. > :04:32.picture that emerged at the inquiry was of of a ministerial office that

:04:32. > :04:41.was in contact with News International. Counsel quoted from

:04:41. > :04:47.e-mails from the the office of Jeremy Hunt. JH believed we were in

:04:47. > :04:51.about the Secretary of State's current view, aren't you? Listen, I

:04:51. > :04:56.think this - I think - it is a private view. I think they are just

:04:56. > :05:01.saying calm down. Yet counsel pointed out that Jeremy

:05:01. > :05:07.Hunt was acting in a judicial capacity, deciding whether the News

:05:07. > :05:16.International bid could proceed. He was a judge. This judge arguably I

:05:16. > :05:19.will put it as low as I can, was in contact through his special adviser.

:05:19. > :05:24.So you were having covert interactions with him.

:05:24. > :05:27.I never saw them as covert and I would have expected his advisers

:05:27. > :05:32.were communicating with other parties around this transaction as

:05:32. > :05:33.well. In another e-mail, the News

:05:33. > :05:38.International executive, Frederic Michel, said he obtained a copy of

:05:38. > :05:45.what Mr Hunt would be telling the House of Commons the following day.

:05:45. > :05:49.Managed to get some infoe on the plans for tomorrow. Brackets, but

:05:49. > :05:56.absolutely illegal. What do you make of that? I thought

:05:56. > :06:00.it was a joke. I thought the greater than and the exclamation

:06:00. > :06:02.mark is a wink. Tonight as James Murdoch departed

:06:02. > :06:08.from the High Court, Downing Street said the Prime Minister had full

:06:08. > :06:18.confidence in Jeremy Hunt. For his part, Mr Hunt declined to comment.

:06:18. > :06:18.

:06:18. > :06:21.Sorry, I am not going to say In the past hour the Labour leader,

:06:21. > :06:25.Ed Miliband, has said that the Culture Secretary must resign.

:06:25. > :06:27.Jeremy Hunt should have been standing up for the interests of

:06:27. > :06:32.the British people. It turns out that he was standing up for the

:06:32. > :06:37.interests of the mur docks. He should resign. He said his duty was

:06:37. > :06:40.to be transparent and impartial and fair. Now we know he was providing

:06:40. > :06:44.advice, guidance and privileged access to News Corporation. He was

:06:44. > :06:48.being a back channel for the Murdochs. He cannot stay in his

:06:48. > :06:52.post and if he refuses to resign, the Prime Minister must show

:06:52. > :06:56.leadership and fire him. Robert Peston is at the Royal

:06:56. > :06:58.Courts of Justice where the Leveson Inquiry is being held and our

:06:58. > :07:06.political editor Nick Robinson is in Westminster for us tonight,

:07:06. > :07:10.first Robert. Now damaging is it? Well, look in all my years of

:07:10. > :07:16.reporting on the relationship between business and Government, I

:07:16. > :07:22.what we saw at the Leveson Inquiry this afternoon because the veil was

:07:22. > :07:27.drawn back on how what was then and arguably still is the most powerful

:07:27. > :07:31.media organisation in the UK was lobbying to get what it wanted

:07:31. > :07:34.which was full control of BSkyB. Now the the reason this is mine

:07:34. > :07:40.might for the Government is because Jeremy Hunt was supposed to be

:07:40. > :07:46.playing a judicial role in adjudicating on that bid. He was

:07:46. > :07:51.supposed, as Nick Witchell said, to be completely impartial and yet, e-

:07:51. > :07:55.mail after e-mail from the director of public affairs at News

:07:55. > :08:00.Corporation, is suggesting the Government is giving lots of help

:08:00. > :08:04.to BSkyB in the form of very valuable and frankly confidential

:08:04. > :08:09.information which at one stage Mr Frederic Michel describes as

:08:09. > :08:13.illegal in terms of the fact that they have got it. It is an

:08:13. > :08:20.astonishing thing for him to say and e-mail after e-mail which

:08:20. > :08:25.suggests Mr Hunt is very supportive. The e-mails are backed up by text

:08:25. > :08:29.from Mr Hunt's special adviser, a man called Adam Smith. That's why

:08:29. > :08:33.many people believe if Mr Hunt is going to survive, his special

:08:33. > :08:38.adviser, Adam Smith, may have to quit.

:08:39. > :08:41.Nick Robinson, what is your Secretary stands tonight? Well, it

:08:41. > :08:44.is clear where he thinks he stands and it is clear clear where the

:08:44. > :08:49.Prime Minister thinks he stands. Jeremy Hunt told the Prime Minister

:08:49. > :08:52.and has his backing we're told, that he and his his political

:08:52. > :08:56.adviser have done nothing wrong. They say the evidence presented

:08:56. > :09:01.before the Leveson Inquiry is inaccurate. That it reports

:09:01. > :09:05.situations, it reports contexts that simply did not take place. And

:09:05. > :09:10.Mr Hunt, the Culture Secretary, is approaching the Leveson Inquiry in

:09:10. > :09:14.saying that he wants to give his side of the story on oath, in front

:09:14. > :09:18.of the judge and to do it as soon as possible. Politicians were due

:09:18. > :09:28.to be called before this inquiry, but not for a few weeks. Mr Hunt is

:09:28. > :09:31.give a detailed account of the way that he behaved in front of the

:09:31. > :09:37.inquiry. And what he will say, I'm told, is simple - that at every

:09:37. > :09:42.stage he followed independent advice so however bad those e-mails

:09:42. > :09:51.and texts look, however much of a smell people allege there is, Mr

:09:51. > :09:59.The inquest into the death of a spy working for MI6 has been shown a

:09:59. > :10:01.video of the crime scene taken of the bathroom where the body of

:10:01. > :10:04.Gareth Williams was found locked inside a red sports bag which was

:10:04. > :10:12.lying in the bath. Our security correspondent, Gordon Corera,

:10:12. > :10:15.The first police pictures from inside Gareth Williams' flat taken

:10:15. > :10:20.soon after he died in August 2010. They show the room where a woman's

:10:20. > :10:24.wig was found, also discovered there was a newspaper story he kept

:10:24. > :10:28.featuring regrets people expressed just before they died. Gareth

:10:28. > :10:35.Williams was a brilliant mathematician who worked for the

:10:35. > :10:37.communications intelligence agency, GCHQ before being seconded to MI6.

:10:37. > :10:46.This police computer model moves through the building, showing the

:10:46. > :10:49.spare room where 20,000 worth of top bathroom. In the bath is the

:10:49. > :10:54.red sports bag found by police. They said Gareth Williams' naked

:10:54. > :10:58.body was inside the bag. There was no sign he had struggled to get out.

:10:58. > :11:03.Underneath him was a set of keys for the lock, but the lag's zips

:11:03. > :11:12.were pad padlocked on the outside. Police say they did find find

:11:12. > :11:15.traces of someone else's DNA on the lock. The coroner went so far as

:11:15. > :11:19.taking hold of a replica sports bag to see just how difficult it would

:11:19. > :11:22.be to manipulate and lock it from the inside and the senior police

:11:22. > :11:26.officer in charge of the investigation said that from early

:11:26. > :11:31.on, she thought someone else was involved.

:11:31. > :11:34.Also released today were new CCTV pictures showing Gareth Williams

:11:34. > :11:41.out shopping the day before he died. Police say there is no sign he was

:11:41. > :11:45.being followed. One of Gareth Williams' oldest friends hold the

:11:45. > :11:49.inquest today she did not think he dressed up in woman's clothes and

:11:49. > :11:56.thought they were gifts. The coming days will see further forensic

:11:56. > :12:02.evidence and testimony from Gareth Williams' former colleagues in the

:12:02. > :12:05.A council in London says it can no longer afford to provide social

:12:05. > :12:08.housing for some of its poorest residents because of a new cap on

:12:08. > :12:12.housing benefit. Newham Council says it has contacted other parts

:12:12. > :12:15.of the UK to see if they can find homes for 500 families. The

:12:15. > :12:23.Government has accused the Labour run authority of "playing politics".

:12:23. > :12:27.Our Government housing policies forcing thousands of families to

:12:27. > :12:31.pack up and move out of the capital?

:12:31. > :12:35.Amid accusations of social cleansing, it emerge that had

:12:35. > :12:39.Newham Council is one among a number of London boroughs looking

:12:39. > :12:43.to re-house residents hundreds of miles away because soaring rents

:12:43. > :12:47.and a cap on housing benefit will mean they can't afford to keep them

:12:47. > :12:50.in the city. We have approached lots and lots of

:12:50. > :12:54.housing associations across the country because the truth is that

:12:54. > :12:57.there are few aword football properties -- affordable properties

:12:57. > :13:02.for people here on benefit because of changes.

:13:02. > :13:05.The squeeze on payments are seeking home seekers move to areas like

:13:05. > :13:09.Newham putting additional pressure on a borough where Olympic

:13:09. > :13:14.regeneration is already said to be pushing up rents.

:13:14. > :13:18.I'm thinking of moving out because it is getting expensive every day.

:13:18. > :13:22.REPORTER: You are thinking of moving out? I may have to.

:13:22. > :13:24.It will have to be capped because a lot of people are claiming that

:13:24. > :13:30.shouldn't be claiming. The Government insists by making

:13:30. > :13:33.essential cuts to a housing benefit bill that topped �20 billion, rents

:13:33. > :13:37.are being forced down and there is no need for councils to uproot

:13:37. > :13:42.families. Newham need to think again. They need to stop

:13:42. > :13:48.frightening tenants and stop publishing those politically

:13:48. > :13:57.motivated press releases. Cap on housing benefit puts a limit

:13:57. > :14:02.on how much the State will fund. In Newham, rents in the borough are

:14:02. > :14:06.advertised between �800 and �1500 a month, apparently within the cap.

:14:06. > :14:10.Critics say it is not that simple. The evidence is that private rents

:14:10. > :14:15.here in Newham are rising faster than inflation and a lot faster

:14:15. > :14:19.than local wages. Demand outstrips supply for affordable homes and

:14:19. > :14:24.even if there are properties that fall below the housing benefit cap,

:14:24. > :14:28.that doesn't mean that landlords will be prepared to offer them to

:14:29. > :14:31.welfare claimants. The issue that we are seeing now is the impact of

:14:31. > :14:36.Government cuts coming through meaning that the number of people

:14:36. > :14:39.having to be housed is larger, and also meaning that what can be

:14:39. > :14:44.afforded with the money that is there is less.

:14:44. > :14:54.in London, the Government is hoping to kick start a massive building

:14:54. > :14:55.

:14:55. > :15:05.programme, but many experts warn thousands of hard-working families

:15:05. > :15:06.

:15:06. > :15:10.Methodical, rigorous and a man who doesn't make promises he can't keep.

:15:10. > :15:15.That is how the Labour leader Ed Miliband described himself today.

:15:15. > :15:18.He conceded he had a long way to go before people see him as Prime

:15:18. > :15:22.Minister but said his party now had the chance to be heard. In the

:15:22. > :15:25.second of three interviews with the main parties in Westminster ahead

:15:25. > :15:31.of the local elections in England, Nick Robinson went to talk to Ed

:15:32. > :15:36.Miliband. Wow! How fantastic! It is not hard

:15:36. > :15:38.to see why Ed Miliband might be so excited. A few weeks ago, many were

:15:38. > :15:42.writing him off. Now some are beginning to wonder whether he

:15:42. > :15:47.might just be our next Prime Minister. Today he told me he had

:15:47. > :15:51.learned to ignore the ups and downs of being opposition leader. On a

:15:51. > :16:00.visit to Reading College, he told me he knew he still had a long way

:16:00. > :16:06.to go. Let me ask your what I've call the serious serial Prime

:16:06. > :16:10.Minister -- -- but as packet question. What will Ed Miliband do

:16:10. > :16:14.as Prime Minister? He will make the economy work for working people,

:16:14. > :16:19.not just the people at the top. Before the elections next week, he

:16:19. > :16:25.is highlighting what Labour could do without spending more money.

:16:25. > :16:32.Like reversing the planned freeze in pensioners' allowances. Shell a

:16:32. > :16:38.positive view? What is her name? Is that your daughter? Jenny, how are

:16:38. > :16:42.you? It is Ed Miliband! These two are hand-picked Labour voters. So I

:16:42. > :16:47.asked him, is he really ready to tell the public anything difficult

:16:47. > :16:50.that they do not already know? of people want us to promise that

:16:50. > :16:55.we would reverse the cuts this Government has made. We cannot do

:16:55. > :17:01.that. Why? Because we can only make promises we can afford, and I think

:17:01. > :17:05.that is a fairer nothing for us to say. What are you going to reverse?

:17:05. > :17:10.I will tell you at the election on what we can or cannot reverse.

:17:10. > :17:15.you give us one thing where, you might not give a toss straight away

:17:15. > :17:19.but you can say, we will do this. That is something we have to talk

:17:19. > :17:24.about at the election. Ed Miliband believes voters have had enough of

:17:24. > :17:28.politicians and their promises. It makes him hard to be exciting. I

:17:28. > :17:35.asked him why he did not now pledged increased taxes on the

:17:35. > :17:40.which? Of course we set out our tax plans but the right time to do it...

:17:40. > :17:45.Maybe this is something about me as a person. Methodical, rigorous, not

:17:45. > :17:50.making promises I cannot keep. Talking about the big issues that

:17:50. > :17:53.matter to our country. The danger of that is it is not very exciting,

:17:53. > :17:57.so people see the French presidential candidate saying, tax

:17:57. > :18:04.the wealthy, it is moral. But Ed Miliband says, I cannot tell you

:18:04. > :18:10.now. I am not saying that. Labour leader believes this is his

:18:10. > :18:17.moment of opportunity but he is still dogged by one problem. Which

:18:17. > :18:23.is he? Could we get a photo with David? Hello, Ed Miliband. Nice to

:18:23. > :18:28.meet you! You have been in the Doctor Who years. Should people not

:18:29. > :18:32.know which brother you are? happens to both of us! Should Ed

:18:32. > :18:40.Miliband be to head to Number Ten, this is that year he must make a

:18:40. > :18:44.clear impression on the electorate. Our top story: Calls for the

:18:44. > :18:46.Culture Secretary to resign as the close links between the Murdoch

:18:46. > :18:50.empire and the Government are revealed.

:18:50. > :18:56.And coming up, we are live in Greenwich in London because five

:18:56. > :19:00.years after fire swept through her, the Cutty Sark has been reborn.

:19:00. > :19:04.Later on the BBC News Channel, we look at the latest public sector

:19:08. > :19:18.And Tesco fight back, reclaiming some of the market share it lost to

:19:18. > :19:21.The man leading the British investigation into the

:19:21. > :19:26.disappearance of Madeleine McCann five years ago says he has the best

:19:26. > :19:30.opportunity yet of solving the mystery of what happened to Ravel

:19:30. > :19:34.stop Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood has spoken for the first

:19:34. > :19:38.time to Panorama about his review of the case. His team is made up of

:19:38. > :19:44.35 people who are sifting through 40,000 pieces of evidence, and so

:19:44. > :19:49.far it has cost the taxpayer �2 million.

:19:49. > :19:53.Next week, Madeleine McCann will have been missing for five years.

:19:53. > :19:56.The facts have not changed. She went to bed in this holiday

:19:56. > :20:01.apartment. Her parents say when they went to check on her, she was

:20:01. > :20:06.gone. But now a new police team is searching for her and it is British.

:20:06. > :20:10.This is the first time the lead investigator has spoken publicly.

:20:10. > :20:14.We are here in terms of seeking to bring closure to this case. That

:20:14. > :20:19.would be the ultimate objective for us and is our ultimate objective.

:20:19. > :20:26.What does that mean? That means establishing what happened to

:20:26. > :20:30.Madeleine McCann. Solving it? of course. Madeleine's parents, who

:20:30. > :20:35.continued to campaign for missing people, have wanted a campaign for

:20:35. > :20:41.years. It has taken the pressure off knowing the police are involved.

:20:41. > :20:47.It is a great step for us. By there is a problem. Only the Portuguese

:20:47. > :20:50.police can reopen the case and in Portugal, the view is less

:20:50. > :20:57.supportive of the McCann family. Four months after the disappearance

:21:02. > :21:07.arguidos. They have no case to answer. But the detective leading

:21:07. > :21:10.the case has now left the force and makes his living writing and

:21:10. > :21:16.broadcasting his view of the case. That Madeleine died in the

:21:16. > :21:19.apartment. Are you comfortable with making money out of a missing girl

:21:19. > :21:26.and a case that actually you have failed to solve?

:21:26. > :21:31.TRANSLATION: When I left, the police force, it was to write a

:21:31. > :21:35.book to clear my name. They are now suing him but his lawyers say his

:21:35. > :21:40.book has had an effect. Public opinion has now hardened against

:21:40. > :21:45.the McCanns. Everybody believes sound defending a father and mother

:21:45. > :21:49.who have killed a daughter and got rid of the corpse. This sensitive

:21:49. > :21:54.situation in Portugal makes the work of the British police team

:21:54. > :21:58.complicated. Do you think this case will be solved one day? I really,

:21:58. > :22:03.really hope we can make a difference, and of course, we are

:22:03. > :22:08.here to try to bring closure for a family. Out of season, Praia da Luz

:22:08. > :22:12.is cold and MP. This place will forever be associated with a lost

:22:12. > :22:19.little girl. It now falls to the British to succeed where the

:22:19. > :22:24.Portuguese have failed, and solve the mystery of Madeleine McCann.

:22:24. > :22:29.And you can see the full Panorama programme Mac tomorrow night at

:22:29. > :22:34.7:30pm on BBC One. -- Madeleine: The Last Hope?.

:22:34. > :22:38.Five men have been arrested on suspicion of terrorism. They were

:22:38. > :22:42.arrested at separate homes in Luton and of being questioned in London.

:22:42. > :22:45.Officers have described the arrests as significant.

:22:45. > :22:49.Almost half a million pounds has now been raised for charity after a

:22:49. > :22:54.30-year-old woman died during the London Marathon on Sunday. Claire

:22:54. > :22:57.Squires had set out to raise �500 for The Samaritans as she ran the

:22:57. > :23:03.marathon for the second time but she collapsed and died just before

:23:03. > :23:08.she reached the mouth. Today, her family described her as an

:23:08. > :23:13.incredible and inspirational person. In the words of her family today,

:23:13. > :23:18.what an incredible, inspirational, beautiful and driven person she was.

:23:18. > :23:23.She was loved by so many. This photo was taken last year when she

:23:23. > :23:28.climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with one of her best friends. Nicholas said

:23:28. > :23:33.she thrived on raising money for charity. -- Nicola Short. Claire

:23:33. > :23:39.was like a shining light to me. I just cannot think of my life

:23:39. > :23:44.without her in it. For as long as I can remember, she has been there.

:23:44. > :23:48.The scale of the giving has been remarkable. Each minute, thousands

:23:48. > :23:52.of pounds are being pledged or Claire's chosen charity through the

:23:52. > :24:00.JustGiving website. We thought, we will wave our fees because this is

:24:00. > :24:03.exceptional. We have never done this before. She is the last member

:24:03. > :24:08.of our community to died before doing something she loved most.

:24:08. > :24:14.This was the second time Claire had run the London Marathon. Since it

:24:14. > :24:20.started in 1981, 11 participants have died. This is where she felt.

:24:20. > :24:23.Just a mile from the finishing line. She was the first woman to die.

:24:23. > :24:28.Today, in the small village just outside Market Harborough, where

:24:28. > :24:32.Claire and her boyfriend lived, more flowers were being laid. You

:24:32. > :24:37.can see what people thought of Claire by the incredibly warm

:24:37. > :24:42.messages being left here. It is not the first tragedy to hit the family.

:24:42. > :24:47.Back in 2001, Claire's brother died. She was young and fit. It is not

:24:47. > :24:54.known yet how she died. The results of a postmortem are expected within

:24:54. > :24:59.the next few days. Five years ago, the Cutty Sark was

:24:59. > :25:02.nearly destroyed by fire but this week, the world-famous ship will

:25:02. > :25:06.reopen to the public after being painstakingly restored. Visitors

:25:06. > :25:13.will now be able to go underneath as well as on board the three-

:25:13. > :25:16.masted sailing ship. When the Cutty Sark was launched at

:25:16. > :25:20.Dumbarton on the River Clyde, who then owned a John Willis print of

:25:20. > :25:28.building the most beautiful and farthest clipper ship in the world.

:25:28. > :25:33.-- her then oh no John Willis. -- fastest clipper ship. Much of the

:25:33. > :25:37.ship was destroyed during the fire in 2007. Fortunately, fittings and

:25:37. > :25:45.fixtures had been taken off. They form part of a jigsaw that the team

:25:45. > :25:49.have put together. These are the crew quarters on the weather deck

:25:49. > :25:54.to the Carter deep below, which would have been packed with tea

:25:54. > :25:59.chests with tea from China and general cargo from around the world.

:25:59. > :26:03.Where I am now is the tween deck. It is just below where I was before.

:26:03. > :26:08.Which of them, you have seen the project from pretty much the start?

:26:08. > :26:13.The ship was supported by a forest of Shaw's and props, distorting the

:26:13. > :26:18.very shape that was significant about the Cutty Sark. We -- what we

:26:19. > :26:23.have done is given it a frame to lift it up to reveal the board has

:26:23. > :26:30.lines of this very narrow, sleek hull. The lines that make the ship

:26:30. > :26:34.so fast and so famous. You must be so proud? Yes. It is a ship fit for

:26:34. > :26:39.the Queen. And Her Majesty, the Duke of Edinburgh, will be coming

:26:39. > :26:42.to reopen it for us. Thank you. A real transformation which will see

:26:43. > :26:52.this survivor to an even longer life. Back to you.

:26:52. > :26:56.Thank you. Let's have a look at the More stormy waters to come for the

:26:56. > :27:00.Cutty Sark and, indeed, anything else heading out across the Channel,

:27:00. > :27:05.because more what weather is forecast and it will be accompanied,

:27:06. > :27:09.especially in the South, by some gusty winds. Make the most of the

:27:09. > :27:15.sunshine this evening if you have got it, because it will not last!

:27:15. > :27:19.Here comes the rain, spreading into the south-west of England and South

:27:19. > :27:25.Wales and into central England by the early hours. Some gusts of up

:27:25. > :27:29.to 60 miles an hour along the coast are possible. A dry start in places,

:27:29. > :27:35.particularly across northern England and Scotland. The rain

:27:35. > :27:39.across the South will gradually edged its way north, reaching into

:27:40. > :27:44.the far north of Northern Ireland. Some dry spells in between but only

:27:44. > :27:49.in between the intense showers. The wind could ease through the

:27:49. > :27:57.afternoon but generally a blustery day with heavy, thundery showers of

:27:57. > :28:03.becoming widespread. Northern England hands wet and it will feel

:28:03. > :28:07.pretty chilly in northern England. -- it turns wet. Some drier,

:28:07. > :28:11.brighter spells across Western Scotland but even here, a strong

:28:11. > :28:16.wind. That continues to spiral around during Wednesday night,

:28:16. > :28:19.through Thursday, bringing another blustery day across north-east

:28:19. > :28:25.England and eastern Scotland with further heavy, thundery showers

:28:25. > :28:29.unlike anywhere else. Temperatures may be a bit higher, but again, not
