More than 170 flood alerts across England, and there's more rain to | :00:06. | :00:11. | |
come. The Met Office says it's the wettest April for more than 100 | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
years. Parts of the south west have seen three times the normal | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
rainfall. A man drowns as his car is caught in the floodwater - | :00:21. | :00:29. | |
firefighters couldn't save him. water was very fast flowing. At the | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
point where the car was submerged it was about 5 ft, it was | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
completely submerged. We'll have the latest from the forecasters. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Also tonight, ministers say they'll do more to ease the immigration | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
queues at Heathrow as they're accused of damaging Britain's | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
reputation. David Cameron refuses to order an investigation over his | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
Culture Secretary's handling of the Murdoch BSkyB bid. And is this the | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
new England manager? Roy Hodgson's interviewed for the job - the man | :00:56. | :01:04. | |
regarded as the fans' favourite gives his verdict. No problem. And | :01:04. | :01:12. | |
wish him all the best, he's a great guy. I've got a great job here. | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
Later, I'll be here at the Etihad Stadium with a Sportsday special, | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
as we look ahead to the local derby that the whole world is talking | :01:20. | :01:30. | |
:01:30. | :01:44. | ||
Good evening. More than 170 flood alerts are in place across large | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
parts of England, with more heavy rain forecast the seating. A man | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
died in Hampshire after his car was submerged in 5 ft of water. His | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
passenger managed to escape. Elsewhere, the flooding has caused | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
disruption to travel and sporting events. This evening, the Met | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
Office confirmed that a pro has been the wettest in the UK since | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
records began. -- that a pro has been the wettest in the UK since | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
records began. This is the part in Tewkesbury on the banks of the | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
River Avon. But tonight you can't see the banks of the river, or you | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
can see is the River Avon. You might get this occasionally in a | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
bad winter, but the last couple of winters have been very dry here. | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
They'd not seen anything like this in April for some time. What's more, | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
the levels of creeping up. It's not just here, it's the same in many | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
other parts of England and Wales this evening. Just when we thought | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
we knew where the weather was going, everything has changed. After a | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
weekend of water, the Monday morning commute. This was Somerset, | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
where they've had more rain in the last few days than they had all | :02:58. | :03:07. | |
winter long. Every single river in this county is now on flood alert. | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
Here, and across much of England and Wales, they've been clearing | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
out the water weighs as levels continued to rise. At the moment it | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
is flash flooding and localised flooding. But the reverse will | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
respond. The effects go far and wide. Here in Hampshire, a man died | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
when the car he was in became completely submerged in 5 ft of | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
water. Thousands of rail passengers were left stranded when the main | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
line between London and South Wales was a flooded, and had to be pumped | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
clear. In Gloucestershire, it might look like everything is ready for | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
the Badminton Horse trials later this week but in fact they've been | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
cancelled. A major pre-Olympic sports event ruined by the weather. | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
Almost every region of England and Wales now has areas on some kind of | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
flood alert a warning. But despite all the rain, the areas in blue | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
here are still officially in drought. And it seems that is | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
unlikely to change any time soon. It's absurd when they see the | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
amount of rainfall they've seen over the last 48 hours. But the | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
fact is that groundwater levels are at an historic low. There are still | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
Severe drought problems in terms of water availability. We want to keep | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
people's taps flowing. Tonight, figures from the Met Office suggest | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
this is set to be the wettest April in 100 years. Many weather | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
monitoring stations across the UK have seen more rainfall than ever | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
before. This was Tewkesbury today. At the cricket ground, rain looks | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
like stopping play for the foreseeable future. They suffered | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
badly year in the summer floods five years ago. And although the | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
water meadows are filling up, so far there have been no major | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
problems here. People are quietly confident. I don't think it will | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
happen this time. Are you sure? There's not that confidence | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
everywhere. These are the latest pictures from Somerset tonight. | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
Although some streams and tributaries are now falling | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
slightly, it will be a while before the major rivers reach their peak. | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
And with more rain to in the next few days, it could be an anxious | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
week as well as a wet one. We haven't felt a single drop of rain | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
here all day. But the water levels are still creeping upwards. The | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
reason for that is the rivers bring the rainwater from further up in | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
the North of England and from Wales to places like Tewkesbury. But five | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
years ago, during the summer floods, the water came up to here. As it | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
can see, today is a very different story. But with a lot more rain | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
forecast tonight and for the next few days across the country, people | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
are understandably keeping many eyes on the skies. The Prime | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
Minister was forced to cancel local election campaigning today to go to | :06:02. | :06:12. | |
:06:12. | :06:29. | ||
the House of Commons to defend his David Cameron has faced many | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
questions about Jeremy Hunt, but those questions just will not go | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
away. The Prime Minister was supposed to be out campaigning, but | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
instead he was rushing to the Commons to explain why he had not | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
ordered a new inquiry into what the culture secretary knew about his | :06:49. | :06:59. | |
contacts with the Murdochs. At first it was relatively calm. | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
secretary of state did not act in any way contrary to the ministerial | :07:02. | :07:12. | |
It is neither necessary nor right to have a parallel investigation | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
that could duplicate, cut across or possibly pre-empt what Lord Justice | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
leaves and is doing. The reason why it was essential for the Prime | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
Minister to come to the house today is that the Culture Secretary is in | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
clear breach of the ministerial code. And the Prime Minister stands | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
by and does nothing. That code is 25 pages of dos and don'ts for all | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
ministers. Labour claims Jeremy Hunt has breached the code by | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
failing to take responsibility for his special adviser, by giving MPs | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
inaccurate information about the extent of his officers' contact | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
with Newscorp. The Labour leader said all this should be | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
investigated by Mr Cameron's independent adviser on the | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
ministerial code. Then things got a little heated. In view of three | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
clear breaches of the cold, why would he not referring to the man | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
whose responsibility it is, Sir Alex Allen? The Prime Minister is | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
defending the indefensible and he knows it. A Mr Cameron hit back, | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
saying Mr Miliband was weak and wrong. If you are going to make | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
these accusations, get your facts right. Endlessly questioning the | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
integrity of someone when you don't have the evidence is bad judgment, | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
rotten politics and plain wrong. We have learned something about the | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
Labour leader today, and I think it is something he will regret. Labour | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
accused Mr Cameron of dodging and weaving and failing to explain why | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
he hadn't ordered a separate inquiry. Downing Street also said | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
Mr Miliband had also overplayed his hand and failed to elicit any new | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
information. Is it time for an inquiry, Prime Minister? Not yet, | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
is his answer. But another day last on a row he would rather go away. | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
The Clydesdale and Yorkshire banks will cut 1400 jobs across the UK in | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
the next three years. The bank's owner, National Australia Bank, | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
said the decision was taken after what it said was a significant | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
downgrade in the growth prospects for the UK economy. Immigration | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
officers from Manchester have been rushed down to Heathrow as | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
passengers arriving at Britain's premier airport report long delays. | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
The London mayor, Boris Johnson, has raised concerns about the | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
Olympics, saying that queues could give a terrible impression of the | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
UK. A border Agency employee has told the BBC that staff shortages | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
are affecting security checks. But ministers insist security is | :09:36. | :09:45. | |
paramount. Our Home Affairs correspondent reports. Smile. They | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
won't believe me. Welcome to Britain. Passport, please. But last | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
week at times it was taking passengers two hours plus to hear | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
those words. When one traveller finally made it through, this was | :09:59. | :10:08. | |
the reaction. Good luck, guys. Darren Pike arrived back in the UK | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
on Thursday. His experience was typical. I've never seen the | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
airport so busy. The queue was down the corridor before you even got | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
into passport control. It was ridiculous. This Heathrow board | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
officer, whose asked to remain anonymous, said at times a handful | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
of staff are coping with hundreds of passengers. Despite the passport, | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
take the Prince, ask the bare minimum of questions then stamp | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
them and left them in. It is quicker to stamp somebody than | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
adequately examine them, and dealing with the key was not the | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
overwhelming priority for frontline immigration officers, over and | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
above making sure this person is doing what they say they are | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
supposed to be doing. Leaked figures suggest the waiting target | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
for non-European passengers was breached on all but two days in the | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
first half of April - the target is 45 minutes. But in the Commons, the | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
immigration minister said the queues were shorter than passengers | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
had claimed. The longest queueing time for immigration control was | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
one-and-a-half hours on Friday night at Terminal 5 for non EU | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
nationals. Times we UK and EU nationals were significantly lower. | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
But these times are too long. Passengers demand an efficient | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
service and the British public demands tough border controls. We | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
need both. Labour blamed government incompetence and a lack of staff. | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
There's no doubt the queues are resulting in angry passengers, but | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
are they also affecting the way the Passport Control officers do their | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
jobs? According to figures leaked to the BBC, the number of forged | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
documents detected is falling - by 26 % in February. Is there a link | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
between the number of staff on duty and this fall in the rate of | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
detections of forged documents? There is no question in my opinion | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
and the opinion of my immigration and customs colleagues that the | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
fall in detection of forged documents is directly related to | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
the lack of available staff. Home Office says better checks | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
macro abroad and the use of biometric passports has reduced | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
fraud. But the plan is to draft in more officers - 400 a week - before | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
the Olympics. The inquest into the death of Gareth Williams, the MI6 | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
officer whose body was found in a bag, has heard that poisoning or | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
suffocation could be to blame. A pathologist told the inquest that | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
the post-mortem examination has been hampered by heat levels inside | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
the bag. Radiators had been turned on them in the flat, even though it | :12:36. | :12:46. | |
The second week of the inquest into the death of intelligence officer | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
Gareth Williams. And still no definitive answers on how he died. | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
Today, the coroner heard from three pathologists who had examined his | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
body. One said he could not be totally sure of that thought that | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
poisoning and asphyxiation of the foremost contenders for cause of | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
death. Gareth Williams' body was found in the top bathroom of his | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
Pimlico flat. It was inside a padlocked sports bag, lying in the | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
foetal position. A set of keys were found underneath, but the back had | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
been locked from the outside. Last week, an expert to try it said it | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
was almost impossible to lock the bag from within, and said he | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
thought Gareth Williams was unconscious or dead when placed | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
inside. But today one pathologist disagreed, saying he thought it | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
more likely he was alive when he went in. There were no clear signs | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
of struggle or injury to suggest otherwise. By the time police came | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
to Gareth Williams' flat, it is thought he'd already been dead for | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
a week. That meant his body was badly decomposed, making it | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
impossible to be certain about the cause of death. The court heard | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
that even though it was the middle of summer, the radiators of the | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
flat were turned on - 18 decomposition. DNA found in the | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
flat has also proved inconclusive. With final evidence from police | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
tomorrow, the coroner is expected to give her verdict on Gareth | :14:09. | :14:17. | |
Williams' death by the middle of the week. Our top story tonight. | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
More than 170 flood alerts across England, and there is more rain to | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
come in the wettest April for more than 100 years. Still to come, | :14:28. | :14:37. | |
opening up another side of the man who gave us the Mona Lisa. Later, | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
1400 jobs go at the owner of the Clydesdale and Yorkshire banks. And | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
Spain is in recession, after its economy shrinks in the first | :14:45. | :14:54. | |
It's increasingly likely that the next manager of the England | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
football team will be the West Bromwich Albion manager Roy Hodgson. | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
He had talks today with the Football Association as front- | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
runner for the job. The big question though is what happened | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
with Harry Redknapp, the choice of many fans and footballers? Today, | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
he wished Hodgson all the best. Live now to our Sports | :15:11. | :15:20. | |
Correspondent Dan Roan at Wembley. Roy Hodgson has been talking to the | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
FA for the last three hours. Those discussions continue. There could | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
be an announcement later this evening. He could be unveiled as | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
the new England boss as early as tomorrow. So why have the FA gone | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
against public opinion and surprised a nation? This report | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
contains some flash photography. Roy Hodgson arriving at Wembley for | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
the biggest job interview of his life. He is seen as the safe choice | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
as England manager and a surprise 1. He seems to be beeper third | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
candidate of the FA. Harry Redknapp had been that they brought with the | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
press, public and players, but today he was philosophical. There | :16:03. | :16:11. | |
is no problem. I wish Roy the best. He is a nice guy. I do not hold | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
grudges. I am very fortunate. Hodgson is one of the most | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
experienced and well travelled managers in world football. His | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
coaching career began in 1976. Over the years, he took charge of a host | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
of clubs across Europe, including Italian giants Inter Milan. In | :16:32. | :16:41. | |
England he masterminded Fulham's place in the Euro final. Hutcheon | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
has major tournament experience. More recently, he endured a painful | :16:47. | :16:54. | |
spell at Liverpool, lasting six months in the job. England fans | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
will not be excited by the appointment, but will be excited if | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
we make it through the European Championships. The biggest plus a | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
for Hodgson is he will lower expectations. Redknapp was | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
considered the front runner after being acquitted of tax evasion | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
charges. The FA would have to pay millions in compensation to prise | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
him away from Spurs, but many said he deserved an interview. If I was | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
Harry Redknapp, I would be upset. The FA really need to justify their | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
process. After the departure of Fabio Capello, an Englishman will | :17:32. | :17:42. | |
now be in charge of a national side. It would be wrong for us to assume | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
the only reason Hudson will be offered this job is because he | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
comes cheap, but after the �24 million that is estimated to have | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
been spent on Fabio Capello, I think the fact he is out of | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
contract at West Brom counts in his favour. One thing for sure is that | :17:59. | :18:08. | |
he is seen by many to buy into the long-term vision of the national | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
team. But because of the controversy, I think he will have | :18:13. | :18:20. | |
no honeymoon period. England will play France in six weeks' time and | :18:20. | :18:30. | |
:18:30. | :18:43. | ||
the pressure will be on immediately. Details of a military exercise for | :18:43. | :18:53. | |
:18:53. | :18:58. | ||
the Olympics have been unveiled. Voters go to the polls on Thursday | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
in local elections. In Wales, Labour is hoping to regain much of | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
the ground it lost in 2008. But there are challenges for all four | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
main parties - Wales has a higher proportion of older voters than | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
anywhere in the UK and more than fifth of young people are out of | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
work. Our Wales Political Editor Betsan Powys reports. The North | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
Wales coast - coast of coalitions with the outlook of Labour been | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
grim. The party that once led half of all Welsh councils only had | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
control of two. In places like Conwy, a quarter of voters are over | :19:25. | :19:34. | |
65. We have worked hard, we have saved, we have paid our taxes as we | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
go a long and suddenly things are changing. Lack of police on the | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
street. I don't see them at all. In fact, I haven't seen a policeman on | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
the street for about a year. Conservatives and Liberal Democrat | :19:47. | :19:56. | |
say the backlash against the coalition is fading. People also | :19:56. | :20:06. | |

fed up we beat inaction of the Welsh government. This man wants to | :20:12. | :20:20. | |
know how the education system is going to be improved. I would vote | :20:20. | :20:30. | |
for them if they were going to use the money properly. In Wrexham, | :20:30. | :20:38. | |
Labour is keen to get back in power. The major issue here is the economy. | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
Abbess local project, there is one question that really matters - | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
whose plans will bring jobs and growth to Wrexham? -- at this local | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
project. You cannot get your foot in the door. You just cannot go | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
:21:04. | :21:05. | ||
anywhere. Then need to do whatever they can to get people into work. - | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
- they need. The largest ever exhibition of | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
Leonardo da Vinci's drawings of the human body go on display in the | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
Queens Gallery at Buckingham Palace later this week. Da Vinci has long | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
been recognised as a great artist but he was also a pioneer in the | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
study of anatomy, dissecting the corpses of executed criminals or | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
the destitute. The artist as an anatomist. Across nearly 90 | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
drawings, Leonardo da Vinci depicts the human body in astonishing | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
detail. Using his skill as an architect and engineer, three- | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
dimensional structures are revealed with extraordinary clarity. It is | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
the biggest ever exhibition of its kind, but is it art or science? | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
They are scientific papers. They are not works of art and he didn't | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
conceive than as that. We find them beautiful and fascinating and so | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
one and they are expressions of the human spirit that match art, but it | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
is not art, it is science. Leonardo injected wax into the cavities of | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
the brain to draw it more accurately and he created A-class | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
model of the aortic valve so he could experiment how blood flowed | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
through the heart. These drawings were made in Florence in 1507, | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
following Leonardo of's first section of a 100 year-old man. They | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
contained the first clear descriptions of narrowing of the | :22:35. | :22:42. | |
arteries and cirrhosis of the liver. This museum in London contains | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
thousands of anatomy specimens collected in the 18th century. By | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
this stage, Leonardo's drawings were still unpublished and would | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
remain so for another 200 years. But even today, anatomists say that | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
some of the studies, such as these hands, using layers to build up the | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
bone, muscle and tendons, are as accurate as any modern depiction. | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
This idea of looking in layers is what we can now do with modern | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
technology. So he predated an anticipated what we are doing 500 | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
years later. Leonardo produce the first accurate depiction of the | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
spine. Again, compare it with a modern-day medical image. In | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
anatomy as in so many fields, he was a genius far ahead of his time, | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
showing a thirst for knowledge and a mastery of art and science. | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
In less than two hours time the eyes of the football world will be | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
on Manchester where City take on United in a crucial derby match | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
which could decide who will be crowned Premier League champions. | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
Just three points separate the two clubs with three matches to go. It | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
promises to be a nail-biting evening for the teams' supporters. | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
It is a night to say, I was there. It is being dubbed the biggest | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
Manchester derby ever as fans arrived United in hope, but divided | :24:06. | :24:16. | |
:24:16. | :24:18. | ||
by loyalty as never before. Fans like this couple. We are going to | :24:18. | :24:26. | |
win. We are going to win. It is for the title, we will win. Indeed it | :24:26. | :24:33. | |
is. City versus United is rarely dull, but this has the Premier | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
League up for grabs. City demolished United 6-1 a in the | :24:38. | :24:46. | |
season, but they stop behind tonight. -- but they start behind | :24:46. | :24:55. | |
tonight. They have to win, but we only have to draw. We start ahead | :24:55. | :25:05. | |
:25:05. | :25:09. | ||
of the game. I think they have got more chance than ours. -- than ours. | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
City last won the title in 1968 when Manchester also brought the | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
footballing world. So can they turn back the clock tonight? It will be | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
an exciting game. Both sides will cost anything to the wind. They | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
would just go for it. And it City do win, they what edge ahead of | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
United on goal difference with just two matches left. The stage is set | :25:34. | :25:44. | |
:25:44. | :25:53. | ||
for a night of sporting drama. April was the wettest on record and | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
does not break the drought one little bit. There are some Met | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
Office and the warnings in force for more heavy rain tonight and | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
into tomorrow. These other areas where river levels are still very | :26:07. | :26:16. | |
high. There are areas of the heavy rain across central England and | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
Wales on their way. Let us focus on the rain for the morning. The | :26:21. | :26:31. | |
:26:31. | :26:32. | ||
heavies will be across Wales and south-west England. Even if it is | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
not raining, there will be surface water from the rain during the | :26:38. | :26:46. | |
night. A lovely start across western Scotland with the sunshine. | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
Temperatures will warm up through the day and reach highs of 19 | :26:50. | :27:00. | |
:27:00. | :27:02. | ||
degrees. Much of Scotland and Northern Ireland spend the bulk of | :27:02. | :27:12. | |
:27:12. | :27:13. | ||
the day dry and bright. Wednesday, light and patchy rain across some | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
parts of central, in eastern England and Wales. Many will have a | :27:17. | :27:24. |
