For the first time the top job at the Bank of England gos to a banker | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
from overseas. A surprise choice by the Chancellor. Canadian Mark | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
Carney will run the bank for the next five years. He is quite simply | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
the best, most experienced and most qualified person in the world to be | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
the next Governor of the Bank of England. Mr Carney will be in | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
charge at a crucial time for the British economy. This is a major | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
challenge. It's a major opportunity. It is a very important for the | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
global economy that the UK does well. Also tonight - the latest in | :00:43. | :00:47. | |

There's an old man... Stranded as the waters rose around him - the | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
pensioner rescued by a brave father and son team. A warning from | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
insurance companies over cover in flood-affected areas. There is yet | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
more torrential rain forecast. Pretty worried. It does not look | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
like it's getting any better. Syria's refugee crisis and the | :01:10. | :01:18. | |
children who have lost their homes as the winter freeze approaches. | :01:18. | :01:23. | |

chanting during yesterday's match Good evening. Welcome to the BBC's | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
News at Six. For the first time in its 300 year history, the Bank of | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
England has looked outside Britain to recruit its -- recruit its | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
governor. Mark Carney will take over next year at what is likely to | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
be a crucial time for Britain's economy. Announcing the surprise | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
appointment, the Chancellor, George Osborne, said Mr Carney was the | :02:17. | :02:27. | |
:02:27. | :02:29. | ||
most qualified person in the world to do the job. Carney will be the | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
next Governor of the Bank of England. The Chancellor's choice | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
came as a surprise to nearly everybody. It seems to have been a | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
pleasant one. He is quite simply the best, most experienced and | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
qualified person in the world to be the next Governor of the Bank of | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
England and to help steer Britain's families and businesses through | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
these difficult economic times. once his opposite number, Ed Balls, | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
agreed. We on this side of the House look forward to working | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
closely with him in the coming months and years, Mr Speaker. I | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
have known Mark Carney for a number of years and have worked with him | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
closely. He has a long and distinguished record of public | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
service. You might not have heard of him before, but he does have a | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
lot of useful experience. For starters, he's been the governor of | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
a central bank already - the Bank of Canada. He chairs the Financial | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
Stability Board. The global policy group which is supposed to prevent | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
future bank crisis. He will be the first foreign nation to -- national | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
to serve in this job. He said he was not as foreign as all that. | :03:34. | :03:44. | |
at not without ties to the United Kingdom. My wife is a British and | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
Canadian national. I have lived here a decade. I know a lot of | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
people in industry in the UK. again, when you think about the | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
mess that Britain and its banks got into with Brits in charge at the | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
bank, you can see why Mr Osborne might look abroad. Canada had no | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
banking crisis, no bail outs and a much shallower recession than | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
either Britain or America. Clearly you want somebody who can think | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
outside the box. He has shown he can do that and clearly, I suspect | :04:16. | :04:23. | |
the conversation when Osborne was interviewing him z was, are you | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
flexible? Will you help to get lending to small firms? We don't | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
want to be legislators... This is the man the City expected to get | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
the job, Paul Tucker. He has been a senior policy maker for a decade. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
He has plenty of experience, but apparently the wrong sort. The | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
Chancellor has gone for an outsideer, who will be the youngest | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
Bank of England governor anyone can remember. The next Governor of the | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
Bank of England was supposed to serve an eight-year time, Mr Carney | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
will serve five. The job has got bigger. As well as chairing the | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
committee which sets interest rates, he and his colleagues will have new | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
powers to regulate Britain's banks. If he is so well qualified for the | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
job, you might wonder why no-one thought of him before. In fact Mark | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
Carney's name was mentioned back in the spring. But he said flatly he | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
didn't want it. Apparently he has changed his mind. Let's hope he | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
doesn't change it back again when he gets a closer look. Let's go | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
live now to the Treasury and join our business editor. George Osborne | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
says he's the best in the world. What he's got, Mark Carney, that | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
no-one in Britain has apparently not? I have just been chatting to | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
George Osborne and he's behaving like the owner of a football club, | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
who has got the manager he has set his heart on. He approached Mr | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
Carney in February. Mr Carney turned him down first time around. | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
A couple of months ago, he tried him again. This time he has got his | :06:01. | :06:10. | |
man. The reason that George Osborne likes him is because Canada is | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
perceived to have come through than Britain and is in better shape. | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
Mark Carney is perceived to have played an important role in | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
maintaining the stability of the Canadian banking system and the | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
Canadian economy. However, although Mr Osborne is desperately pleased | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
to have got this chap, you is to say that the British economy is in | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
somewhat worse shape than Canada's economy and our banking system is | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
in something of a mess. What's more, Mr Carney is inheriting a Bank of | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
England that is getting important new powers, the management | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
challenge for Mr Carney is going to be significantly greater than any | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
challenge he's faced to date. In a sense, you can see the UK as middle | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
to bottom of the table. Appointing an expensive new manager. Will Mr | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
Osborne, in a year or two's time, be so pleased with his appointment? | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
We'll have to wait and see. Thank you. Now to the severe weather | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
sweeping across the country. After leaving a trail of destruction in | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
the south-west, forecasters say torrential rainfall could lead to | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
flooding in Teesside and County Durham. One in five has been | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
delayed. Hundreds of homes have been flooded. Safety warnings on | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
hundreds of A roads. After days of rainfall in some areas, these are | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
the sort of conditions that millions of people woke up to this | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
morning. Some vehicles didn't get through though. This passenger had | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
to be rescued from a car which became marooned after coming to a | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
standstill. Further north, tuex bury, so often | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
left under floodwater in the past was once again hit. The River | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
Severn has been overwhelmed. Mile after mile, there was ever of | :08:02. | :08:09. | |
damage where it and other rivers have burst their banks. Over the | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
border into Wales there were problems, especially in the north, | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
with roads closed and travel disrupted. While in many areas it | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
was about assessing the damage, in northern England the rain was | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
causing new problems. Emergency services were called to the | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
Friarage Hospital in Northallerton to stop a stream which runs under | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
the building from flooding wards and operating theatres. | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
Firefighters said they had to give this job priority over rescuing | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
cars stranded in water. We have been very busy over this weekend, | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
pulling people out of floodwater because people are driving into it. | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
We would say, do people need to make those journeys. Talking to | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
local people here, this is unprecedented for the last 20 years. | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
Another 24 hours of rain has overwhelmed this small bebgand the | :09:01. | :09:11. | |
:09:11. | :09:12. | ||
forecast now is for stream and the forecast is now for more rain. The | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
problem here, in Yorkshire, is how bad it will get. This home has been | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
warned about the rising waters. Pretty worried. It doesn't look | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
like it's getting any better. We will see what it brings. | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
Environment Agency say they are hopeful that main flood defences | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
will hold and homes will be protected. | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
With more rain falling, and no capacity for the ground to soak it | :09:34. | :09:44. | |
:09:44. | :09:47. | ||
up, the next 24 hours are bound to As the cleanup gets under way, | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
insurance companies warn up to 200,000 homeowners could find it | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
difficult to cover their homes next year. They say talks with the | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
Government on how to afford affordable premiums have reached | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
crisis point. Jon Kay looks at the row over insurance claims. | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
You can measure the damage here on the doorsteps. | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
And by the bins, filling up with ruined food. In the village of | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
Kennford, near Exeter, more than 30 properties were flooded. That's the | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
level of the water which came in. The Parrys now have a plimsoll line | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
running through the ground floor of their cottage. | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
Everything below it has been ruined. That's my little job today, trying | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
to wash all that. They hope their insurance will cover all the damage | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
this time. But what if it happens again? It's a worry, isn't it? It | :10:44. | :10:53. | |
is a worry. You know, one does need insurance. For the last few years, | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
there's been an agreement in place between the Government and the | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
insurance industry. Basically companies have been obliged to | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
provide cover for existing policyholders, even if they live in | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
a flood-prone area. That agreement runs out next summer. And talks | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
about how to replace it are said to be in a mess. | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
The insurance industry says it has offered ministers a solution and if | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
it is not accepted, it claims 200,000 homes could lose their | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
cover. There is no other proposition on the table which we | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
think is workable or achievable. We very much hope that the Government | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
will continue to discuss our proposal, which is carefully worked | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
out. Visiting Devon, the Environment Secretary said any deal | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
with insurers would have to be fair, both for policyholders and the | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
wider public. We would like to see an arrangement | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
which is affordable, as comprehensive as possible and does | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
not put any great burden on the British taxpayer. As this village | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
clears up, they hope an agreement can be reached to protect them in | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
the future. While the talking continues, here there is work to be | :12:13. | :12:20. | |
done. So, are this month's downpours any | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
heavier than usual? Why isn't Britain better defended against | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
flooding? We look at the figures behind the recent rainfall. | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
Torrential rain. It is beginning to feel normal. | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
So, in turn for many of us floods are becoming a fact of life. Since | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
last week, much of the country has been struggling as water levels | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
have been rising. It's been absolutely awful. We have been | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
drenched. We live down and the river has come all the way up the | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
garden. It has been raining all day and night. It is not great weather. | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
It is really bad. This is my first time in the UK. I have been hearing | :13:00. | :13:07. | |
about it. I am experiencing it now. They call it the Bath Road. The | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
only thing missing is soap. On this island flooding is nothing new. | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
1939 - a vintage year. 1963, another one to remember. | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
This is Tonbridge, in Kent, underwater. | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
Hard to believe that this November has not been especially wet. The | :13:25. | :13:33. | |
average rainfall for the month is 160mms. When 216mms fell in 2009, | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
it became officially the wettest November on record. This year, we | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
had 43mms in the first three weeks of the month, not even close to | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
record-breaking pace. It is not that unusual to see consistent low | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
pressure coming off the Atlantic at this time of year, all bringing | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
large amounts of rainfall. We are expecting, over the coming years, | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
is we will see these events more frequently. All of this flooding is | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
the result, not just of the torrential rain we've had, but the | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
fact that rain has fallen on ground which was already saturated. | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
Remember, this summer was the wet e on record for 100 years. | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
-- wettest on record for 100 years. The drainage system is overloaded. | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
It will run off into the rivers. We have seen surface flooding on the | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
roads to start with. That impacts on to the rivers. As soon as we go | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
through the winter the soil will not dry out. It will be cold. | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
There'll be little evapration. We'll have to keep a close eye on | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
things. The Government says the millions invested in flood defences | :14:41. | :14:51. | |
:14:51. | :14:51. | ||
have saved thousands of homes from You can find out more on the | :14:51. | :15:01. | |

Our top story tonight. The Bank of England's next governor will be | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
Canadian Mark Carney. The first time the job has gone to a banker | :15:09. | :15:19. | |

bombed a village close to the Turkish border, sending hundreds of | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
panicked civilians running for safety. Their target was a building | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
used by rebels. The shells landed close to a refugee camp one-and-a- | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
half miles from the Turkish border. Where round 12,000 people are | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
living in poor conditions. From Atma camp our world affairs | :16:04. | :16:12. | |
correspondent sent this report. Atma camp. For 12,000 people this | :16:12. | :16:22. | |
:16:22. | :16:22. | ||
is as far away from the war as they can get. It is wet, and cold, even | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
before the winter has really set in, and unsanitary. Sewage mixes with | :16:27. | :16:34. | |
mud after it rains. For some, a temporary home has become permanent. | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
They are stuck. This place sprang up overnight, when people fleeing | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
to turkey arrived at the border fence and couldn't go any further. | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
-- Turkey. The war in Syria is grinding on and in a typical week | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
1,000 people are killed. So many more families are making the same | :16:53. | :17:02. | |
journey, only to end up here. Northern Syria has seen some of the | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
worst atrocities of the war. They have come through a terrible ordeal | :17:08. | :17:18. | |
:17:18. | :17:20. | ||
to reach Atma. In this group of tents ewe found survivors. 110 | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
people were said to have died there. 45-year-old Samara lost four | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
brothers. TRANSLATION: where can we go? All | :17:31. | :17:37. | |
Syria is being killed. We ask God to remove this pig Bashar. We ask | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
the world to help for our children, in this rain we must prevail. Islam | :17:42. | :17:50. | |
must prevail. The camp has fighters too. From the rebel Free Syrian | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
Army. Many have families in the tents. | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
TRANSLATION: We have been here for seven months. It is the safest | :18:00. | :18:08. | |
place we can find. But even here we are afraid we will be shelled. | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
Turkey is reluctant to take more refugee, so the little that Atma | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
has will have to go further. This is the water supply for thousands. | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
People cling to what little dignity they can. Though they are | :18:23. | :18:33. | |
dispairing, that anyone will bring this to an end. A 26-year-old man | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
has been arrested on suspicion of raping an 11-year-old girl, who was | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
attacked while walking home from school. The girl was dragged off a | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
street and into a park in Edmonton in north London on Friday evening. | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
More than 50 firefighters are tackling a large fire at a chemical | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
plant in the West Midlands. A large plume of smoke has been seen coming | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
from the factory in the Langley area and there have been reports of | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
a series of explosions. It is two month since the many allegations | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
surrounding Jimmy Savile came to light, but only no now is the | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
Health Service setting up inquiries into the alleged abuse ta took | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
place on NHS premises. Charities are talking for greater | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
transparency and urgency. Here is our health correspondent with the | :19:19. | :19:27. | |
details. NHS hospitals where Jimmy Savile volunteered and raised money | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
Leeds general infirm rirbgs Stoke Mandeville and Broadmoor. Two | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
months after allegations of abuse were published, there is little | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
detail on what the NHS is doing to look into it. Jimmy Savile was | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
given extraordinary access at three hospitals, including Stoke | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
Mandeville, the police are looking into the criminal allegations, but | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
what exactly is the NHS doing, to find out how it was allowed to | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
happen, and whether concerns were raised? One former patient at | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
Broadmoor who alleges he was sexually assaulted said there are | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
many unanswered questions. individually decided to give him | :20:06. | :20:13. | |
the keys? Why? What did they think he could do, other than raise the | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
profile of Broadmoor? Why was he given the amount of freedom to roam | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
as he did with the keys unescorted once he got them? The NHS has | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
announced four separate inquiry, which will all be overseen by a | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
former barrister. At Stoke Mandeville the head of the inquiry | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
panel has just been named. Broadmoor is expected to make a | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
similar announcement this week. Leeds has yet to decide who will | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
lead the inquiry, and the Department of Health has a further | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
intern alinquiry. The Government says the allegations about Jimmy | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
Savile in the NHS are appalling, and it is determined to get to the | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
bottom of them, but a coalition of 130 health and care charities is | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
calling for much greater urgency. These appear to be internal inquiry, | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
we don't know the peoples of the people who are going to conduct | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
them what the terms of reference are, how long they are going to | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
take, we want that out in the public domain so the public can be | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
involved and can judge. That is really important for accountability | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
of the NHS. No minister has been available to be interviewed about | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
the NHS investigations, but the Department of Health says it will | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
publish more details soon. Rotherham council which took three | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
Foster children away from a couple because they are members of the UK | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
independence part party say they will be open in the inquiry ordered | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
by the Government. Is this statement going to be enough to | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
satisfy the critics? Well, George, the council leader demanded this | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
report, to be on his desk for 9am this morning. It arrived and he | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
considered it for round several hours, then came a statement. He | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
said that being a member of UKIP should not stop anyone from | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
becoming a Foster parent. He went on to say he will work with the | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
Education Secretary as he investigates what happened here. | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
But so far, no-one has been health accountable, and this has | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
disappointed some. The leader of UKIP says he feels like it's a can | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
being kicked dound the road. We have fleerd the Foster parent, they | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
say they are disappointed no-one has apologised to them. In cricket | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
England have won the Second Test against India, to level the series. | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
Monty Panesar took six wicket, as England bowled out the hosts for | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
142. It is only England's second test win in India since 1985. Our | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
sports correspondent reports. The England traveller in India. A | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
patient breed. Test Match wins are separated by decades. Now eEngland | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
have Cook and the right ingredients. It is rare for India to be outdone. | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
Shocking to be outpin. England finished off the second innings, | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
conditions were me paired to suit India's spin bowler, but it played | :23:14. | :23:23. | |
into the hands of England. Swann and Panesar. Matt Prior caught the | :23:23. | :23:31. | |
ball. Monty Panesar 45 his sixth wicket of the innings. India were | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
14 2-2 out. England's spinners took 19 wickets between them in the | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
match. They had beaten India at their own game. Now England just | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
had to score 57 to win. Compton in only his second Test Match led the | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
way. No time for nevers. Monday's victory was set up by Alastair | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
Cook's batting at the weekend and Man of the Match Kevin Pietersen's | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
sparkling revival. The series is 1- 1 with two Test Matches to come. | :23:59. | :24:06. | |
Suddenly England can't wait for the next one. Now they have got a | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
combined age of 273 and first played together in a small London | :24:10. | :24:16. | |
club 50 years ago. Last night, fans paid as much as �1,000 see a piece | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
of rock history as the Rolling Stones returned to the stage. Our | :24:19. | :24:25. | |

night at the O2 Arena in London. Celebrating 50 years together. | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
Reliving their glory days. As it would appear, with the audience. | :24:41. | :24:49. | |
am the same age at Mick Jagger. Hey, I haven't seen him since 1962, so a | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
long time and he rocks. Totally rocks. I don't know what it cost. | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
My husband bought the ticket. It is worth it for me. So it was thumbs | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
up from the public and from the critic, who seemed tone joy their | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
night out. It was a extraordinary gig, I felt. It is not just that | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
you were getting 50 years music thrown at you. The band seemed to | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
really be enjoying playing, and it was much less the bells and | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
whistles you get at a big stadium gig. The arena is a small gig for | :25:23. | :25:33. | |
:25:33. | :25:35. | ||
the Rolling Stoness. The music was fantastic. Back in their heyday the | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
stones were the epitome of youth culture. Rebellious and independent. | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
That they kept the show on the road for half a century is astonishing. | :25:43. | :25:53. | |
:25:53. | :25:56. | ||
Even to them. Nobody expected anything like this. I mean, it was, | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
especially in those days, a band, it was lucky to live two or three | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
years, and you hoped for a good time, and that was there, -- that | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
you know. There is more to the Rolling Stones than being the self- | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
styled rock 'n' roll back in the world. They are the greatest rock | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
'n' roll brand, possibly in the world. A brand people will pay a | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
lot to be associated with. You could buy this version of their | :26:24. | :26:31. | |
logo, for �50,000. For the Stones it has been a case of mixing show | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
with business. It is probably one of the factors that has kept them | :26:34. | :26:44. | |

With last night's good review and a public willing to spend up to | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
�1,000 a ticket, you can expect to hear more from these veteran | :26:53. | :27:01. | |
entertainers. Now for the latest on entertainers. Now for the latest on | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
the weather let us go to Jon. For many of us the impact will last a | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
lot longer than it stopping raining. It is still raining across a good | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
part of northern England, down into North Wales. This is the main focus | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
of concern. The 20 or 30 millimetres of rain, that rain | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
running down from the Pennines, the Cheviots, North York Moors, | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
Snowdonia, hence the amber warning. Major concerns, big impacts likely | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
here and some snow on the highest ground. Now, it is not dry | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
elsewhere. There are some big clumps of rain drifting down | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
through parts of Wales, that is not good news for this part of the | :27:40. | :27:45. | |
world. Some showers dotting round elsewhere. Many heavy. It will be | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
mostly dry for parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland. A touch of | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
frost round. Cold feeling everywhere, with a blustery wind | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
kicking in. That will be a key feature of the weather as we go | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
through tomorrow. The good news is that we will have lost the rain, | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
yes, there will be some showers and some of them sharp, but they will | :28:02. | :28:06. | |
move through quickly on the breeze, with lengthy dry spells in between. | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
So mid afternoon in Scotland, plenty of dry, bright weather in | :28:10. | :28:15. | |
the south and west. Wintry showers in the Highlands. Mostly dry across | :28:15. | :28:20. | |
Northern Ireland, thankfully it will be a lot drier in northern | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
England, North Wales. Still some showers in North Sea coasts. One or | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
two getting down through heart of England, but a lot of dry and | :28:27. | :28:31. | |
bright weather in South Wales and the West Country. A good chance to | :28:31. | :28:36. | |
clear thu things up. Through the rest of the week, that is the theme, | :28:36. | :28:40. | |
colder but drier as well. Cold certainly, even in the sunshine, | :28:40. | :28:44. | |
temperatures really struggling, a few showers, wintry showers, | :28:45. | :28:47. |
