Hundreds of volunteers from around Machynlleth have fanned out across | :00:31. | :00:38. | |
the countryside to help in the search. We never think this sort of | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
thing will happen here but tragically it has. We have just | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
come down to see what we can do for. Also on tonight's programme: The | :00:48. | :00:51. | |

News at 6pm. Police in Mid-Wales have arrested a 46-year-old man in | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
connection with the disappearance of a five-year-old girl. April | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
Jones was playing with friends near her home in Machynlleth at 7pm last | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
night when she got into a vehicle, possibly a van. Police who have | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
spoken to April's friends say it appears that she entered the van | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
without a struggle. Let's go straight to Jon Brain in | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
Machynlleth. George, a dramatic day in mid-Wales. | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
We often hear the phrase "close- knit community". It is a cliche but | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
in this incident, it feels appropriate. An entire town has | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
turned out to look for a missing five-year-old girl and in the past | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
hour, police had made an arrest. This report contains flash | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
photography. April Jones, a happy five-year-old, | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
described by those who know her as a lovely little girl. Today, | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
virtually the entire town has been out looking for her, but in the | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
last hour, a dramatic development. Police have arrested a man on | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
suspicion of her abduction. We are continuing our investigation to | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
find April. However, within the last hour we have arrested a 46- | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
year-old man from the Machynlleth area, who has been detained at | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
Aberystwyth police station. We made the arrest just outside Machynlleth | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
and we are hopeful that this individual will assist us in | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
locating April, who is still missing. We are still pursuing all | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
lines of inquiry with a view that April is still alive. We will | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
continue to do so until we find her. The search for April began last | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
night and has not stopped. Volunteers joining police officers | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
to combed fields and woodland in a 30 mile radius. But the police had | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
feared she could be anywhere. Yesterday, she got into a vehicle | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
near her home. Today, detectives said the best. There is nothing to | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
suggest there was a struggle when she got into the car. April got | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
into a drive a's side and that may well be that she got in with the | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
driver, but it could mean that it is a left-hand-drive vehicle. | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
was out riding her bike and playing with friends near her home on the | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
Bryn Y Gog estate yesterday evening. One of her friends said she saw her | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
getting into the driver's side of a light coloured van. At that time, | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
April was wearing a purple coat, and a white polo shirt with black | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
trousers. Police were alerted to her disappearance within an hour | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
and soon, 200 residents had gathered at the leisure centre. | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
They joined the police in searching a 30 mile radius of the town and | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
surrounding area. Have you got a car? Which every year do you know | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
best? Hundreds of people offering their help at the local leisure | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
centre. Some have come from up to 60 miles away, although most live | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
nearby. We have been searching until 3am, they went home for sleek | :05:19. | :05:27. | |
for a couple of hours, and they were ready at daylight. This women | :05:27. | :05:31. | |

search. -- the woman here opened her garage. We have stayed open | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
since last night forced job as the search continues, head teacher has | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
been describing the five-year-old. April is a very bubbly and vibrant | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
member of the school community. Her parents are very supportive of the | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
school and Spen hours of their own time helping the school, so our | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
thoughts are with them at this very difficult time. This investigation | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
is continuing to develop. We have news that both wrote nearby has | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
been cordoned off and a woman was seen in tears being driven through | :06:10. | :06:17. | |

hotline for anybody with The Labour leader Ed Miliband has | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
said he will head a one nation Labour Party into the next election. | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
In a highly personal speech, Mr Miliband vowed to rebuild Britain | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
and outlined his vision of a country in which everyone played | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
their part. This report from Manchester contains some flash | :06:42. | :06:50. | |
photography. Imitation, it is said, is the | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
sincerest form of flattery. Today Ed Miliband live at a conference | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
speech that did not just echo one of the slogans and some of the | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
rhetoric of his Tory opponent, but the way David Cameron once famously | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
delivered them. With no nerves. Only one problem, where is my | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
speech? I want to do something different today. Different, because | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
the Labour leader was relaxed and jokey, different, he claimed, | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
because he learnt his political fray from the teachers at his | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
comprehensive school and refugee parents who fled the Nazis. | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
believe that we can overcome any odds if we come together as people. | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
Millions of people look at us in politics and think we are all the | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
same. I guess you could say I am out to prove them wrong. That is | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
who I am. What this beach was really about was a single assertion, | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
that he could unite the country in difficult times -- the speech. That | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
he was a man to deliver a 140-year- old Conservative slogan. 1 nation, | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
a country where everyone has a stake, where prosperity is fairly | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
shared, one nation, where we have a shared destiny, his sense of shared | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
Endeavour and a common life that we lead together. That is the Britain | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
we must become! The Prime Minister had lost the right to use that | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
slogan, he said, when his chief whip called police officers plebs | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
and his economic policy divided the country. This year, borrowing is | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
rising, not falling. Let me say that again. It is rising, not | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
falling. If the medicine is not working, you change the medicine. I | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
will tell you what else you change. You change the doctor and that is | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
what this country needs to do! year, the faces at this conference | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
were worried about whether he had really got what it takes. This year, | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
they were relishing his performance. Have you ever seen a more | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
incompetent, hopeless, out of touch, U-turn, pledge breaking, make it up | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
as you go along, are back of the envelope, miserable shower that | :09:11. | :09:20. | |
this Prime Minister and his government...? The policy was no | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
way to be seen, there was no think tank slogans and detailed policies, | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
just pledges to stand up to companies that rip off consumers, I | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
don't train staff and employ apprentices, and... I have a | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
message for the bank. We can do is the easy way or the hard way. | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
Evette you six it yourselves, between now and the election, or | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
the next Labour government will once and for all ensure that the | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
high-street bank is no longer the arm of the can -- of a casino | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
operation and we will break you up. The spirit of the Olympics, he said, | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
had rebuild Britain after the war. To come together, joined together, | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
work together as a country. Words that sounded and looked like the | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
last leader of the opposition speaking at his conference before | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
the last election. If we come together, work together, we will | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
get rid the is together. Miliband's message was that he | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
understood why many people voted for David Cameron, but only he | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
could deliver the promise. country for all with everyone | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
playing their part. A Britain we have rebuilt together. The man who | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
declared that new Labour was dead today did his own rebranding, | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
unveiling the one-nation Labour, as its replacement. | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
What do you see when you see Ed Miliband? This party decided today | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
it's all its next prime minister. The test of this speech though, is | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
to you? This up like the beginning of what can be the longest election | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
campaign in history -- this felt like. The mood can be summed up in | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
two words: Game on. The 30-year-old teacher who ran | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
away with one of his pupils to France will return to Britain on | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
Thursday after a court in Bordeaux agreed to his extradition. Jeremy | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
Forrest appeared before judges today, four days after he was | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
arrested on suspicion of abducting 15-year-old Megan Stammers. Our | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
correspondent is there for us now. Matthew, what did Forrest say in | :11:32. | :11:39. | |
court? George, he was pretty confident | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
actually is. He confirmed his name and date of birth and then in | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
answer to a number of questions, and helped by an interpreter, he | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
answered yes, yes, yes, until the most important one when he said, no, | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
he would not be contesting his extradition. A lot of journalists | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
and photographers at this, so my report contains flash photography. | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
Five days after his arrest, the maths teacher from Eastbourne was | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
brought to court in Bordeaux. regrets? Not to rule on whether he | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
is guilty, simply to work out whether France will extradite him. | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
They hit him from view as best they could. -- they hit him. In court, | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
he looked fairly relaxed and said he would not tried to stop his | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
extradition. He has agreed to be extradited back to the UK as soon | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
as possible and we look forward to the full story emerging. He is very | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
appreciative of the support given to him by his family, in particular | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
his parents. Naturally, Jeremy is most concerned about the impact of | :12:49. | :12:57. | |
this episode on all those affected. That presumably means Megan | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
Stammers in particular. Jeremy Forrest and the school girl half | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
his age had last been spotted on a cross channel ferry. They were | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
eventually found on the street in Bordeaux. He had been to several | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
bars looking for work. They stayed at this hotel for one night. The | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
manager says Jeremy Forrest checked in under a false name for. | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
wanted a room for two persons, and he said to me, she is waiting | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
outside, and that is it. Megan Stammers flew home on Saturday, | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
leaving her teacher behind in a French prison. The judges will be | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
back in court on Thursday and are expected to all the extradition can | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
go ahead. Jeremy Cooke Forest could be back in Britain by the weekend, | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
with the police are keen to talk to him -- Jeremy Forrest. A quick | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
legal footnote. Jeremy Forrest was detained on the European arrest | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
warrant on suspicion of child abduction. Under the terms of that, | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
he can only be charged with a specific crime, so even if Sussex | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
police think there is evidence of other crimes related to this matter, | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
they will be on shaky legal ground. A collision between two passenger | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
boats off Hong Kong has left at least 38 people dead and dozens | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
injured. One of the boats, which had been hired for a party, was | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
carrying more than 120 people when it collided with a passenger ferry | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
and sank. Seven crew members have been arrested. | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
Scotland Yard has confirmed that it is dealing with an allegation that | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
Sir Jimmy Savile raped an underage girl in London in the 1970s. The | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
force said it was looking into the claim to see if it merited a full | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
investigation. The BBC said today that it would make direct contact | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
with police to provide full support over any allegations. June Kelly is | :14:47. | :14:57. | |
There have been a number of new developments today. Surrey police | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
received a complaint which they passed on to officers here at | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
Scotland Yard because the offence is alleged to have taken place in | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
London. We have a statement from Scotland Yard in which they say the | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
allegation is under review by their Sapphire unit, which investigates | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
rape and the sexual offences, and they say inquiries continue. They | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
say it is not an investigation but it could become one. We have also | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
had a statement from the BBC tonight, and they say they are | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
horrified that some of these alleged offences could have | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
happened on BBC premises, and they say the BBC investigations unit | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
will now be contacting police and offering to help them with any | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
inquiries. Also on the BBC front, there are questions about why the | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
Newsnight programme dropped an investigation into Jimmy Savile. It | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
has been claimed there was internal pressure inside the corporation. | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
But it has denied that and said it was taken for editorial reasons, | :15:53. | :16:03. | |

Space scientists across the world are attempting a cosmic clean-up | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
with thousands of pieces of junk hurtling around in Orbit. | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
Organisations such as NASA and the European Space Agency are trying to | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
find the most effective way of collecting the debris, as David | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
Shukman reports. If they do not succeed, it could crash into | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
satellites, bringing down everything from mobile phone | :17:01. | :17:11. | |
networks to TV signals. One of the strangest space experiments is | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
about to begin, a hardcore and being fired at a satellite, the aim | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
to find out a way of clearing up all the junk in space. -- A harpoon. | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
This is the chant that the harpoon is meant to tackle, old rockets and | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
satellites in the same area of space at the working satellites | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
that we depend on. Collisions have already happened. The idea is to | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
approach each piece of wreckage, like the satellite on the left, and | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
fire the harpoon to capture it. This way, the junk can be steered | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
into the atmosphere to burn up. It is an urgent task. Space has become | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
a critical part of our infrastructure, we use it every day | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
for weather forecasting, telecommunications, GPS, and the | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
space junk that is up there poses a real threat to satellites which are | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
providing this data. The first step in these laboratories and Hard | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
picture is to test what the harpoon does to the fragile skin of a | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
satellite. -- in Hertfordshire. Two powerfully shot could create even | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
more junk. What they are aiming at is the kind of aluminium structure | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
that most satellites are made of. No surprise that the harpoon has | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
made it through. With these barbs, it could block on, so harpooning | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
could be part of the answer. It is one of several techniques being | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
investigated which is evidence of the growing awareness of the threat | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
of space junk. Last weekend, the skies above Britain were streaked | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
with what may have been space junk burning up. There should be more of | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
this. The costs of harpooning in Orbit are not yet known, but the | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
legacy of the space-age is proving dangerous, and cleaning it up is | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
starting to look burgeoned. -- urgent. | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
Mark Duggan, whose shooting by Metropolitan Police back to last | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
summer's riots, was trying to set up a drugs deal in the minutes | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
before he was killed. That evidence was heard today in the man accused | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
of supplying him with a gun. The 29-year-old boy shot dead by police | :19:17. | :19:23. | |

he was shot shortly after he got out. Police say that they later | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
found an illegal handgun here on the grass here, about 10 feet from | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
where he felt. Kevin Hutchinson- Foster denies supplying Mark Duggan | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
with a handgun, but he said he was speaking to him about a drug deal | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
in the minutes before the shooting. For that reason, and because he had | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
been branded a snitch by some members of the community, he said | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
he was fearful when arrested by police and wanted to distance | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
himself from any association with Mark Duggan. The reason the | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
shooting was significant is because it sparked the riots in Tottenham a | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
couple of days later, and the question of whether Mark Duggan had | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
a gun when shot by police as lingered ever since. | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
Barack Obama and his Republican challenger for the US presidency, | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
Mitt Romney, are preparing to go head to head in a TV debate on the | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
economy. Both men know they must get their message across to viewers | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
in a handful of swing states tomorrow night, and among them is | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
Ohio, where both parties are reaching out to middle-class | :20:44. | :20:52. | |
families. Steve Kingstone reports. At home with the Shorts, a modern- | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
day middle-class family whose triumphs and Strettle show a | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
snapshot of Barack Obama's American Pie. -- struggles. The head of the | :21:01. | :21:09. | |
family is one of America's unemployed. I am 53 years old, a | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
construction labourer, and I have been laid off for 15 months. | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
talk about President Obama and Mitt Romney. I would honestly like to | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
see both of them stepped into my boots for about six months. I do | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
not think they understand what an actual individual goes through to | :21:27. | :21:36. | |
try to make a living, paycheck to paycheck. He has spent his whole | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
life in Middletown, a community built on paper mills and steel, now | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
adjusting to a post-industrial hero. The downtown streets are lined with | :21:45. | :21:54. | |
casualties of the economic crisis. Across town, school is out. His | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
stepdaughter is meeting her five kids, the eldest already thinking | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
about university. She is looking for part-time work to supplement | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
her husband's income. It is not a single income economy any more. Gas | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
prices are through the roof, and so is food, and we have a family of | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
seven. Education worries me, healthcare worries me, borrowing | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
money that we cannot pay back, what is that going to do for my kids? | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
What Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have to address in this election is | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
a kind of middle-class malaise, a perception that while the rich will | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
take care of themselves, the poor will be taken care of by the States, | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
and people in the middle have somehow been forgotten, abandoned. | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
It is a long way from what the middle-class dream was supposed to | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
look like. The city was booming, and everybody was working. 1950s | :22:47. | :22:56. | |
Middletown, recalled by Cecil Short, now an undecided voter. Obama, I | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
think he did a decent job, but I do not like his healthcare plans. | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
Romney was probably a good guide, but as being as rich as he is, I do | :23:08. | :23:16. | |
not know if he will understand the middle-class person's problems. | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
the Hallowe'en decorations go up, the next generation is thinking | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
only of trick or treat. This election choice will shape the | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
future, the America they will inherit. | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
The Welsh government says it will use its �15 billion budget to help | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
boost the economy, the Finance Minister has set out a draft budget | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
which she said would stimulate growth and protect funding for | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
health. Betsan Powys joins us now from the Senedd. Everybody wants | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
growth and jobs, how will they do what? Well, the bottom line is that | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
they have very little room for manoeuvre. This Government has no | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
taxation or borrowing powers, it can simply divvy up the money that | :23:58. | :24:05. | |
comes from Westminster, �15 billion also for next year. There is an | :24:05. | :24:12. | |
infrastructure spending plan for hospitals and roads and so on, and | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
in Wales the finance minister says they are spending to promote growth | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
and jobs. But looking at day-to-day spending on education, on local | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
government, on health in particular, things are looking very tight, too | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
tight, say the Welsh Conservatives, who say this is the worst | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
settlements in the UK for the Welsh NHS. It is Groundhog Day, they said, | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
for the NHS in Wales, snubbed again. Labour did not have a majority, | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
which makes life difficult, and they will need to strike a bargain. | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
It was with the Lib Dems last year, but a strong warning from the | :24:46. | :24:54. | |
finance minister, who said there is nothing left to sweeten the deal. | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
It was a top showbusiness secret but not even 007 could keep it | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
under wraps. Adele's new theme for the James Bond film Skyfall has | :25:04. | :25:14. | |
:25:14. | :25:16. | ||
been leaked onto the internet, to In many ways, Adele was the perfect | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
choice, Bond is that most British of cinema icons, Adele the most | :25:21. | :25:31. | |
:25:31. | :25:33. | ||
And for this film, marking the series' 50th anniversary, audience | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
expectation for all aspects of the movie has been incredibly high. | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
This is Abbey Road. Paul Nicol has worked with Adele on their huge | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
selling carbon 21 and is the man she turned to to co-write and | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
produce the Skyfall team. We were both lucky enough to read the | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
script and get an idea of what the film was about, and also where the | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
song happens in the context of the story, the film, and it was quite | :26:03. | :26:11. | |
daunting, once we read the script, but an exciting proposition. | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
competition is tough, and Adele's Skyfall will inevitably be measured | :26:17. | :26:27. | |
:26:27. | :26:34. | ||
And the big names who have performed them. The Bond theme tune | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
is an incredibly important event in the making of the film. It is a | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
huge marketing tool, but also people around the world just want | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
to hear what they are going to do this time. It is a reiteration of | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
like a fairy tale, where are they taking as this time? | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
combination of the world's biggest music artist singing a theme for | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
one of the best-known cinema franchises means the song is | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
already been talk about as a number one potential, an award winner and | :27:04. | :27:12. | |
even an Oscar winner. And for many, hopes are high that Adele will | :27:12. | :27:20. | |
strike musical goal for 007's golden anniversary. -- musical gold. | :27:20. | :27:26. | |
Time for the weather now with Lots of rain falling from the sky | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
today, may be better tomorrow, but this evening and overnight a lot of | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
wet weather to come, lots of showers driven on by blustery winds. | :27:34. | :27:40. | |
It is a bit messy out there, but most places will get rain at times. | :27:40. | :27:45. | |
This wet weather pushes into Scotland and northern England, Wet | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
Wet Eneas in England before the skies clear. Not a particularly | :27:48. | :27:56. | |
cold night. There should be more sunshine than today, but there will | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
still be showers, and some of those on the heavy side. There will be | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
more cloud across southern counties for a time, but eventually the sun | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
coming through in the South East of England, although feeling colder | :28:07. | :28:12. | |
than today. A lot of rain this afternoon, brighter tomorrow | :28:13. | :28:15. | |
afternoon with sunshine and very few showers. Still some sunshine | :28:15. | :28:19. | |
and showers in Wales, particularly in the north of Wales later in the | :28:19. | :28:23. | |
day, and the most frequent showers will come in the north-west of | :28:23. | :28:31. | |
England, but a dry day and today for Northern Ireland. -- drier day | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
than today. There could be showers across in the east of Scotland, but | :28:34. | :28:38. | |
that is where we will see the best of the sunshine. Not many showers | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
crossing the Pennines, and a good deal of sunshine in the Midlands | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
with just a scattering of showers. Thursday may be the best day of the | :28:46. | :28:50. | |
week with even fewer showers and more sunshine after a chilly start. | :28:50. | :28:56. | |
Most places will be dry, but this is our next area of rain, a | :28:56. | :28:59. | |
developing weather system, and it is tricky to say how far north or | :28:59. | :29:04. |
