An angry reaction from rail passengers as they face yet another | :00:06. | :00:12. | |
steep increase in fares next year. Commuters in England could see | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
their tickets go up by an average of 6.2% after a surprise rise in | :00:15. | :00:23. | |
the inflation rate. It fills me with depression because there is | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
nothing we can do about it. We are prisoners of the railway. We'll | :00:30. | :00:38. | |

how England planned to retain Test Hello and welcome to the BBC News | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
at Six. Rail passengers face another steep rise in fares next | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
year after a surprise jump in the inflation rate. Under a formula set | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
by the Government, tickets in England will go up by an average of | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
6.2%, with some fares rising by as much as 11%. In Scotland, the rise | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
will be just over 4%. Ministers say the extra money is helping to fund | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
huge investment across the network. Our transport correspondent, | :02:08. | :02:18. | |
:02:18. | :02:19. | ||
Richard Westcott, is at Waterloo These are the people who will bear | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
the brunt of these price rises. Commuters, 6.2%, it might not sound | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
like a big figure but it could add 300 or �400 to your season ticket. | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
These are big fare rises, due to go on for years. Around one in 10 | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
trains was late last year, but there is one thing passengers can | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
always rely on. Above-inflation fare rises. It has been happening | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
every year since 2004. In England, regulated fares, which account for | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
half of all fares, are calculated at the rate of inflation plus 3%. | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
That means an average rise of 6.2%, starting next January. A yearly | :03:04. | :03:12. | |
season ticket from Manchester to Leeds goes up from �2,340, to | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
nearly �2,500. A commuter travelling from Stowmarket in | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
Suffolk to London is already playing -- paying �6,500 every year, | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
they must now find an extra �400. That is exactly what is happening | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
to Deborah, who says it doesn't even buy a good service. It fills | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
me with utter depression. I think because there has been very little | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
investment in the infrastructure on my line, there are often problems | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
with signalling failure, train breakdowns, at level crossings that | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
never rise. It is a whole saga of disappointment, I would have to say. | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
We are now approaching the 10th consecutive year of above-inflation | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
fare rises. Even the last Transport Secretary admitted the railways | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
were becoming a rich man's toy. If the Government knows how | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
cripplingly expensive the fares are, why is it putting the boot fairs | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
up? The key problem is cost, we need to get the cost of running the | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
railways down. We have published a reform plan to deliver �3.4 billion | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
worth of efficiency savings. Once we have delivered those, we believe | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
we can see an end to above- inflation fare rises. In other | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
words, the fares will be going up for some years yet. Ultimately, the | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
government wants to half what it spent on the railways, and that | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
means making passengers pay a lot more. When the economy is flat | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
lining, when households are under pressure, not just for the cost of | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
travel but also from child care, housing and food costs all going up, | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
we think the government should not be imposing these kinds of above | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
inflation rises. This is Glasgow this morning. A protest against | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
rail fares. The Scottish Government has decided on a smaller rise than | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
in England, but it is still 1% above inflation. There is no | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
decision yet for Wales and Northern Ireland. Rail passengers will see | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
prices go up in the new year, just as motorists face a new tax rise on | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
a litre of fuel. There is a glimmer of hope for these people. If you | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
remember, last year the government was also due to put these fares up | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
by inflation plus 3%, at the last minute it changed his mind and put | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
them up by inflation plus 1%. It also delayed the fuel tax rise. The | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
Chancellor is under a lot of pressure to change his mind again | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
and give train users daybreak. -- a break. | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
As we've heard, that rise in rail fares is linked to a surprise jump | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
in the inflation rate which was also announced today. So why has | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
the cost of living gone up? Our business correspondent, John Moylan, | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
is here. What's behind the latest inflation numbers? Two factors have | :06:05. | :06:15. | |
:06:15. | :06:24. | ||
caused inflation to move up. On the high Street the discounting | :06:24. | :06:32. | |
happened earlier so those factors kept inflation higher. If you look | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
at what happened to inflation over the past year, this is the graph of | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
CPI. It has fallen from around 5% a year ago, down to 2.6% now. It is | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
likely to continue falling. If it does do that, that is really good | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
news for households. Households have been squeezed between higher | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
prices and incomes. This difficult period that many households have | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
had could be coming to an end. Now to the eurozone crisis - the | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
latest figures show that the total economic output of the 17 countries | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
that use the single currency shrank by 0.2% in the three months to June. | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
And that follows a stagnant picture in the previous three months. | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
Although Germany - the eurozone's powerhouse - saw some growth, some | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
of the smaller economies are still in deep trouble. Here's our | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
economics editor, Stephanie Flanders. | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
Crisis or no crisis, Europe's leaders have managed to squeeze in | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
some holiday. The German Chancellor is just back from hiking in Italy. | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
President Hollande is sunning himself in the south of France. The | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
Spanish Prime Minister has snuck away to his native Pelissier. The | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
economic news will not have helped them to relax. The economy is | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
shrinking by 0.2% in the second quarter. Within that, if Germany is | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
still growing, but only just. Its national output rose by 0.3%. No | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
national output rose by 0.3%. No such luck for Spain, whose economy | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
shrank again, or Portugal, whose national output has fallen by 1.2% | :08:11. | :08:21. | |

too nervous to hit the beach, out of fear that the euro would blow up | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
while they were away. Today the markets seem happy to wait for more | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
policy action next month. Uncertainty about the single | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
currency is still casting a long shadow over all of us. | :09:53. | :10:02. | |

Just go to bbc.co.uk/eurocrisis. Merton Council in south London is | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
to conduct a serious case review into the circumstances surrounding | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
the death of Tia Sharp. The 12- year-old was reported missing | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
earlier this month, but her body was found at the grandmother's | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
house on Friday. Stuart Hazell, her grandmother's partner, has been | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
charged with her murder. Dozens of people have been killed | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
in a series of suicide attacks in Afghanistan. Senior police | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
officials say they are the worst the country has seen this year. | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
Three bombers blew themselves up in a busy market in the south-western | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
city of Zaranj. A short time later, at least 12 people were killed in a | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
separate attack in the north eastern province of Kunduz. Our | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
Afghanistan correspondent, Aleem Maqbool, joins us now from Kabul. I | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
imagine the details are still coming in from these provinces, | :10:52. | :11:00. | |
what can you tell us. That is right. We know that the market place was | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
packed with people who were shopping for this weekend's Eid | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
celebrations, marking the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, when the | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
three suicide bombers detonated their explosives. We have her | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
devastated -- devastating, Arabic accounts from eyewitnesses. Up to | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
14 suicide bombers had planned to take part in the attack. Some of | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
those had been arrested before hand. Then we heard of this explosion in | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
the north, again in a marketplace very close to street vendors and | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
many were killed in this attack. It follows a deadly week, a series of | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
attacks by Taliban infiltrators inside the Afghan security forces. | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
Some of those attacks were against their own colleagues, some against | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
NATO troops. We have heard from President Karzai, he has condemned | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
all of those attacks but it will not stop people here worrying about | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
what the coming days are going to bring. Already security warnings | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
have been issued. The publishing firm Pearson is to | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
become the first FTSE 100 company to set up its own college offering | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
undergraduate degrees. Pearson will provide business courses in London | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
and Manchester from next month. Tuition fees will be lower than the | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
average for other universities. But critics have warned of the dangers | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
of allowing profit making companies into higher education. Our | :12:18. | :12:26. | |
education correspondent, Reeta Chakrabarti, reports. | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
Pearson, already the owner of several household names, has a new | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
business. Teaching undergraduate degrees. But why would a student | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
go? We are giving students the opportunity to study for their | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
business degree with in a business, and that makes a lot of sense. We | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
can bring 150 years of commercial experience, academic heritage | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
through our head -- Publishing, into benefits for our students. | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
Classes will be at Pearson's offices, with views over the Thames. | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
It is starting small, just 40 students. Paying tuition fees of | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
�6,500 a year, less than the average in England. The company | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
hopes eventually to make a profit. These teenagers are waiting for | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
their A-level results on Thursday, to find out if they have got into | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
the universities of their choice. Would they consider a degree in | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
business and enterprise from Pearson? It is not well-established | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
just yet, right now I wouldn't like to launch myself into something | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
like that. I would prefer to go to university which I know a lot about, | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
I know is well respected by other companies in the future, when I | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
want to get a job. It is definitely very appealing. Obviously for the | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
fees, not because of the work experience that you get out of it. | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
It is more of a hands-on degree, you are getting proper experience | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
of business rather than just learning. The government wants many | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
more private companies providing higher education, saying it would | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
provide more choice for students, but some are wary of for-profit | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
companies entering the field. Institutions like Pearson are for- | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
profit companies, they have a primary obligation to their | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
shareholders and the to be tightly regulated. At the moment, they are | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
less tightly regulated than traditional colleges and | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
universities, and that seems to us a recipe for disaster. Getting a | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
degree from private institutions could become a more common option | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
for young people. But ministers recognise the worries about quality | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
and will consider tightening the rules. | :14:27. | :14:30. | |

Whether it was sight of the Olympic torch bearers around the country or | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
Jessica Ennis's performance, London 2012 left most of us feeling good | :15:14. | :15:22. | |
about our country. That's according to a new BBC survey. 80% of people | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
questioned said the Games had made them proud to be British. But as | :15:26. | :15:33. | |
James Pearce reports, the Olympic effect may be short lived. | :15:33. | :15:43. | |
:15:43. | :15:44. | ||
Mo Farah for Great Britain! It is gold! A glorious fortnight in which | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
vast television audiences followed every move of the British team | :15:47. | :15:54. | |
which performed even better than expected. The pride of Great | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
Britain! Jessica Ennis is the Olympic champion! The BBC | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
commissioned a poll to find out what kind of impact the Olympics | :16:02. | :16:09. | |
have had on us. 80% thought the game has made people more proud to | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
be British. 56% said they had had a positive effect on them personally, | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
but 54% thought the effect would be short-lived. Putting on a seven-day | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
spectacle is one thing. -- 17 Day spectacle. Making sure it leaves a | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
lasting impact is another. This opinion poll shows that the British | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
public is still to be convinced that enough has been done to give | :16:35. | :16:45. | |
:16:45. | :16:45. | ||
the Games a proper legacy. As summer goes away, the Olympics will | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
be a distant memory. Right now, a many are still buzzing. It has | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
inspired me. I will start athletics again. I don't know how long it | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
will last. Probably until the recession when we hear how much it | :16:59. | :17:07. | |
has cost us. I give it a good year. I am looking at 2016, that is what | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
I am looking at now. So or Britain's elite athletes. They have | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
had their funding secured. It is at grassroots level that the future is | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
less certain. It is important we captured the enthusiasm for sport | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
that we have seen in the last couple of weeks and use it to | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
generate a long term interest. party's over a. While the fireworks | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
have already turned to ash, the challenge will be to make sure that | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
the sporting legacy of the Olympics is far longer lasting. | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
Amid the gloomy economic news, the UK car industry is bucking the | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
trend. One company, Jaguar Land Rover, has started round the clock | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
production to meet increased demand for its luxury cars. There are now | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
4,500 people employed at the Halewood plant, tripling the | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
workforce there in the last three years. Our correspondent is at the | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
factory. George, you speak about economic | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
gloom. Things were certainly bleak for this factory a few years ago. | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
They were cutting jobs and shifts but things have turned a corner and | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
this is one of a number of foreign owned companies investing in | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
British production facilities, and that is because of the skills of | :18:22. | :18:29. | |
British workers. It means these production lines operating 24 hours. | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
From now on, every eight hours, staff will come through the gates | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
at Heywood. For the first time in its history, cars are morning of | :18:40. | :18:47. | |
the production line, all day every day. -- cars on rolling off. More | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
work needs more workers. The number of people employed has trebled in | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
the last three years but over the last decade, they have had to worry | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
about their jobs. When the recession hit, the factory went | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
down to one shift and I was made redundant. So you have been out and | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
back in? Yes and it wasn't nice. I saw there was not much work out | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
there and it was really good to get my job back. After a rough few | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
years, Jaguar and Land Rovers have had to expand. In 2009, they | :19:20. | :19:27. | |
employed 14,500 people in the UK. Since then, it increased to 24,000. | :19:27. | :19:37. | |

dark days but there are positive signs for car manufacturing in | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
Britain. In Ellesmere Port, General Motors is creating jobs after a | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
time where workers feared for them, and Nissan is preparing to build a | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
new model in Sunderland. The dark clouds on the horizon really are | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
coming from the eurozone crisis, the European car market is in its | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
were State for 15 years. companies are starting to look | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
further afield for opportunities and working day and night to take | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
advantage of them. Make no mistake, there is economic uncertainty, but | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
Tata Motors sees real advantages and possibilities for products like | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
Range Rover Evoke in China and emerging markets and that is very | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
important for the UK economy. Put that in perspective, here, there | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
were more than 30,000 applicants for 1,000 jobs advertised here, so | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
all of this is very important indeed. | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
He transformed the lives of millions. Just one of the tributes | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
paid to the disabilities campaigner, Lord Morris of Manchester, who has | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
died at the age of 84. As a Labour MP, he helped introduce the first | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
legislation giving rights to people with disabilities and became | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
Britain's first minister for disabled people in 1974. James | :21:20. | :21:27. | |
Landale looks back at his life. We take them for granted today, the | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
Rams and lifts and parking spaces that do so much to ease the lives | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
of disabled people, but 40 years ago they did not exist, until Alf | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
Morris spoke up and introduced a Private Member's Bill in 1970 that | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
transformed the rights of disabled people. I did not think it would | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
become law, I was simply trying to get it on the parliamentary agenda. | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
But it did become law, placing new duties on councils to help disabled | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
people at home and at work, improved access to public buildings | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
and address the educational needs of disabled children. When you look | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
at how far the Paralympics has come as a movement in the last 30 years, | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
it quite closely mirrors the change in attitude towards disabled people | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
in the rest of society and without people like Alf Morris, fighting | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
for the rights of disabled people, we would not have the recognition | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
that we have today. This is exactly where I was born, in 1928. | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
Manchester, Alf Morris was born into Dickensian poverty. His | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
passion for Disability Rights driven by the way his father | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
suffered after losing a leg in the trenches. A passion that led him | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
through evening classes and national service to Oxford and | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
Westminster. There are millions of people who have probably never | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
heard of Alf Morris and do not realise the debt of gratitude they | :22:52. | :23:00. | |
have got to the M. In 1974, Howard also made him Britain's first | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
Minister for Disabled. 25 years later, he was still campaigning. | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
Alf Morris once said that if years cannot be added to the lives of | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
disabled people, at least life can be added to the years. That, he | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
hoped, would be his gift to posterity. | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
Lord Morris of Manchester, who died today. | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
Their arrest has made the headlines around the world and attracted the | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
support of pop superstars like Madonna and Sting. A Russian punk | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
band has vowed to continue its political performances despite the | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
arrest and trial of three of its singers. Daniel Sandford went to | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
meet the remaining band members who are in hiding. | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
The thrash guitar punk-rock that Pussy Riot has signed in Moscow's | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
cathedral of Christ the saviour. It was a prayer to the Virgin Mary to | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
read Russia of President Vladimir Putin. -- to which Russia. Three of | :23:57. | :24:04. | |
the singers have since spent 5 months in prison. Determined to | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
fight on, those members of Pussy Riot not behind bars agreed to meet | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
as secretly after midnight, to avoid the police. Some of them were | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
involved in the cathedral protest that landed their friends in prison. | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
Not because they did something wrong but just because somebody | :24:26. | :24:33. | |
decided to show us his power. But it is not real power. It is fake | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
power. But despite the growing risks to those who openly oppose | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
Vladimir Putin, the women about their campaign against him will | :24:43. | :24:50. | |
continue. -- the women have fouled. The government can arrest people | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
but it cannot address the whole idea. The three members of the | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
group in detention have been on trial this month. The judge passes | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
sentence in the controversial case on Friday and they could spend two | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
more he is in prison. International superstars like Madonna and Sting | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
had spoken out in their support. -- two years in prison. Madonna had | :25:15. | :25:22. | |
their name of the band written across her back when she played in | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
Moscow. The women have apologised for any offence they cause for | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
singing in the cathedral but their protest against Vladimir Putin and | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
he's tyres -- his ties to the Russian Orthodox Church appears to | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
have touched a nerve. Are all the same, their fellow band members | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
insist that we have not seen the last of Pussy Riot. | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
A couple from Suffolk have been unveiled as the winners of | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
Britain's second biggest lottery pay-out. Adrian and Gillian Bayford | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
from Haverhill scooped �148 million in Friday night's EuroMillions draw. | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
Mrs Bayford said she thought her husband was joking when he told her | :25:59. | :26:08. | |
they had won. This report contains flash photography. | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
They had kept it secret but today, Adrian and Gillian Bayford went | :26:12. | :26:19. | |
public. Late last Friday night, after watching a film called "the | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
bank job", Adrian checked his EuroMillions numbers and every | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
single one had come up. Multi- millionaires in instant. They | :26:28. | :26:34. | |
celebrated with pizza. I found it difficult to take in the vast | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
quantity of it. I am so used to go into the bank, taking some money | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
out, and then watching my bank balance go down and thinking, I | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
have only got this amount of days till pay-day, that will last us. | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
And now, we can go and buy something and it will not make any | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
difference. The couple and their two children live in Sussex. | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
Gillian will now give up working night shifts on a children's ward | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
at Addenbrooke's Hospital, but Adrian says he wants to keep his | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
music shop, although a surprisingly today it was closed. Neighbouring | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
businesses say Adrian had told them last week to play EuroMillions. | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
went in for a chap and he said, you must buy a ticket tonight, it is | :27:23. | :27:29. | |
148 million, like he often did, and he has won! We did get a ticket. | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
But obviously not the winning one! Their spending ambitions seem | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
modest. A bigger car, Disneyland, maybe a new house and donations to | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
children's charities. Adrian and Gillian Bayford insists the money | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
will not change them, but whatever they say, life will never be the | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
same for them again. The helicopter was borrowed today but they could | :27:53. | :27:58. | |
now easily afford one of their own. Although these lottery winners seem | :27:58. | :28:08. | |
:28:08. | :28:14. | ||
intent on a more understated It doesn't matter how much money | :28:15. | :28:19. | |
you have got, you can't change the weather. Wet and windy weather on | :28:19. | :28:24. | |
the way but it will still feel quite humid. We have seen some | :28:24. | :28:29. | |
lively showers today across Scotland and Northern Ireland. For | :28:29. | :28:35. | |
most of us, it has been a fine day. More cloud in the far south-west of | :28:35. | :28:45. | |
:28:45. | :28:45. | ||
You can see what is lined up. A great lump of cloud with our name | :28:45. | :28:53. | |
on it. Before that, most of us will be dry overnight. The main event | :28:53. | :28:57. | |
will arrive later on in the night, turning very wet across Cornwall, | :28:57. | :29:07. | |

northwards by lunchtime. -- that wet-weather. Scotland will enjoy | :29:18. | :29:26. | |
some sunshine. But the wet weather will be very nasty indeed. Met | :29:26. | :29:31. | |
