The veteran entertainer and artist Rolf Harris is found | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
guilty of 12 counts of indecent assault against women and children. | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
The 84 year old left court flanked by his family. | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
The judge told him to expect a jail sentence. | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
That bravery and determination has seen Rolf Harris brought to | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
justice and held to account. Rolf Harris entertained generations | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
of children for 60 years on British television. | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
We'll be hearing from Rolf Harris' victims who tell of the shame that | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
kept them silent for years. Also tonight. | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
The former editor of the News of the World Andy Coulson learns he | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
is to be tried all over again for alleged illegal payments to | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
a police officer. How every employee in Britain now | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
has the right to request flexible working hours from their boss. | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
And at Wimbledon, Andy Murray is through to the quarter finals. | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
On BBC London. Concerns over the possible Islamification of a primary | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
school where four governors have resigned. And proposals to build a | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
?600 million river crossing in east London are revealed. | :01:11. | :01:34. | |
Good evening. He has been a household name | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
for 60 years, a much loved entertainer, artist and musician. | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
Today Rolf Harris has been found guilty of 12 counts | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
of indecent assault. His youngest victim was | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
just seven or eight. Another was a close friend | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
of his daughter. He first molested her | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
when she was 13. Another child victim has talked | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
of how the abuse led her to contemplate suicide. | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
Rolf Harris walked from court knowing he must return | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
for sentencing on Friday. The judge said a jail sentence | :02:02. | :02:02. | |
for the 84 year old is likely. You may find this report upsetting. | :02:03. | :02:16. | |
Amidst the bedlam as Rolf Harris left court it was hard to fathom. He | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
has been part of our childhood for 60 years. And now this. Perverted, | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
predatory. Opportunistic. He wasn't this cuddly grandfatherly figure | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
type that people thought. I don't know how he lives his life | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
day-to-day. And I don't know how he sleeps at night. In court, his gaze | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
was fixed. The only signed the motion hint of a tremble as the 12 | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
guilty verdicts were read out. Rolf Harris, a children's entertainer, | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
guilty of sexually abusing children. At the heart of this case, it goes | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
back to the 70s. At the time he lived in south London. 34 years | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
later, a woman came forward saying during those years, Rolf Harris | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
sexually assaulted her, not once, but repeatedly. She had been a | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
friend of Rolf Harris's daughter and he had known her since she was | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
little. And the abuse began when she was 13 years old. It is back in the | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
late 60s, around the time he received an MBE, when his daughter | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
became friends with the girl. It was this letter written to her father 30 | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
years later that was proof of a relationship. He said he was | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
sickened by his behaviour towards her, and she told the BBC today she | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
was just relieved it was over. This was a man who front of the campaign | :03:41. | :03:49. | |
about child sex abuse. About what was and what wasn't acceptable | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
touching. He went on television to promote the campaign. Just weeks | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
before this, he had met a 15-year-old girl in a pub, 28 years | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
later, she finally spoke out on Australian television. I was | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
absolutely petrified. You know, I just... I wanted to scream but I | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
didn't. I knew that what he had done was wrong. I was embarrassed as | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
well. I didn't want to tell anybody. That he touched me. There was a | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
pattern for the women have come forward from across Britain, across | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
the world. Near Portsmouth, one woman said she was seven or eight of | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
the time when Jews assaulted, asking for an autograph. In Cambridge, at a | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
TV show in the 70s, he denied he even set foot in Cambridge and then | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
this footage emerged during the trial. The list goes on. Malta, an | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
18-year-old, New Zealand, 16-year-old, Australia, 12-year-old. | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
One TV make-up artist said they had a name for him, the octopus. And | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
others are now coming forward. This, a BBC reporter,. He grabbed my face. | :05:06. | :05:14. | |
In his hands like that. And he pulled my face towards him and he | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
forced his tongue into my mouth. Same incident in from suspicion. | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
Each victim, unbeknownst to the others, described a similar pattern | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
of behaviour. That of a man acting without fear of the consequences. A | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
TV star since the 50s, but it seems the only saw the public golf Harris. | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
A little piece of childhood, shed innocence is gone. It appears he was | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
good at hiding a dark side. This, the police mugshot of the man who | :05:48. | :05:48. | |
was tonight facing prison. for the 84 year old is likely. | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
Rolf Harris entertained generations of children and adults | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
in a career which has earned him millions and which led him | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
to paint the Queen's portrait. Our Home Editor Mark Easton | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
considers the downfall of a man, once held in | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
near universal affection, now exposed as a serial sexual abuser. | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
Natural warmth was Rolf Harris' showbusiness calling card. | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
A family entertainer who was the obvious choice for Animal Hospital | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
or a public information film aimed at keeping children safe. | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
That's why, for generations of children who grew | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
up with the avuncular Australian, discovering he was | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
a sexual predator is so disturbing. You get to an age | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
when nothing is meant to shock you. I found it shocking | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
because it is a bit of your childhood being ripped apart, | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
quite apart from the childhood of these women he ripped apart. | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
Again and again, at his trial, evidence of the devastating impact | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
his sexual assaults had on women and girls was produced. | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
And, as the case continued, dozens of others spoke out. | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
At the NSPCC, since Harris was charged, we see more people come | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
forward making complaints about abuse at Harris' hands and more | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
people coming forward saying they witnessed abuse at Harris' hands. | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
Harris's approachability granted him both access to potential victims | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
and credibility should he ever be confronted. | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
Rolf wouldn't do that. But he did. | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
I was chatting to somebody and this enormous hand grabbed my | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
bottom very hard which made me jump and then I had Rolf Harris saying | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
my name, growling my name, in my ear, which was a shock because Rolf | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
Harris had just pinched my bottom. It can be Rolf Harris because | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
he doesn't do things like that. The Rolf Harris case, | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
like that of Jimmy Savile, poses uncomfortable questions | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
for the television industry. Its stars were too powerful | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
and valuable to be challenged. Victims had to fend for themselves. | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
We learned the skills of self defence. | :08:02. | :08:09. | |
You know, quick kick on the shin, crafty heel from a shoe. | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
A good push, keep your back against the wall when | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
you get into a lift with a man. We just learned sensible codes | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
of behaviour. But no code of behaviour could have | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
saved all of Rolf Harris' victims. Let's not forget that one | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
was seven years old. The former editor of The News | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
of the World, Andy Coulson, and the paper's royal editor, | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
Clive Goodman, are to face a retrial over charges they conspired to | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
commit misconduct in public office. Coulson was found guilty | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
of conspiracy to hack phones last week, but the jury was unable to | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
reach a verdict on the allegation that they paid a police officer | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
for royal telephone directories. Tom Symonds reports. | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
Day after day for more than 130 days, Andy Coulson has been here in | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
court but he arrived today knowing his conviction for phone hacking is | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
only the end of one chapter of the legal saga he is caught up in. | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
He remains facing allegations centred on these confidential | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
royal phone directories. He is accused of buying them along | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
with his royal editor Clive Goodman from serving police officers. | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
They both deny the charges. The Crown Prosecution Service | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
decided it was in the public interest for there to be a retrial. | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
It would have been a careful decision taken | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
at the highest levels and they will followed the convention | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
which is to go for a second time if the first jury couldn't agree. | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
Eight were charged with phone hacking. | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
Six convicted. Briefly, they sat together in the | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
dock this morning, the men behind the News Of The World conspiracy. | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
Andy Coulson, the editor, when most of the hacking went on. | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
Two former news editors, James Weatherup and Greg Miskiw. | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
Two reporters, Dan Evans, who admitted hacking phones himself, | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
and veteran Neville Thurlbeck. Finally, private investigator | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
Glenn Mulcaire, first convicted in 2006, he pleaded guilty to | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
a further charge last year. The evidence | :10:02. | :10:22. | |
against them was overwhelming. In this case, Neville Thurlbeck. | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
The work being to hack Milly Dowler's phone. | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
Prosecutor Andrew Peters told the judge... | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
But arguing for a reduced sentence, the barrister for Neville Thurlbeck | :10:33. | :10:41. | |
said the hacking had been approved by senior figures at | :10:42. | :10:42. | |
News International. Two of whom have been arrested | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
but not charged. And can't be named | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
for legal reasons. All apart from Dan Evans will | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
be sentenced on Friday. They are facing up to two years | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
in prison. In the past hour the Israeli Army | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
has said that the three Israeli teenagers who went missing earlier | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
this month in the West Bank have been found dead. | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
The teenagers were aged between 19 and 16. | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
They were last seen at a junction near Hebron as they hitchhiked home. | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
Israel accused the militant group Hamas of abducting the three, | :11:13. | :11:13. | |
which Hamas has repeatedly denied. We can talk to your land in | :11:14. | :11:25. | |
Jerusalem. What more can you tell us? Just the briefest of statements | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
so far from the Israeli military confirming that they have found | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
three bodies and saying the friends examinations are being carried out | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
but the families of these missing Israeli teenagers have been | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
notified. Now, these bodies were discovered a few miles from where | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
the young Israelis were last seen close to a Jewish settlement near to | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
the city of Hebron. Earlier there were clashes in a village by Hebron | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
between Palestinians and the Israeli soldiers who were there. There has | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
been a huge Israeli military operation to try and find these | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
teenagers over the past couple of weeks. And also targeting members of | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
how Mass. In the occupied West Bank -- how Mass. Many have been arrested | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
and five Palestinian tabbing shot and killed. It has had huge budget | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
limitations coming two months after peace talks broke down between | :12:24. | :12:31. | |
Israel and the Palestinians. -- Hamas. Thank you. | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
which Hamas has repeatedly denied. The Prime Minister has told MPs that | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
he will now work with the incoming head of the European Commission, | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
Jean Claude Juncker , despite having opposed his nomination. | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
Mr Cameron defended his unsuccessful attempt to block the appointment of | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
Jean-Claude Juncker as head of the European Commission and denied he'd | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
been left isolated and weakened. He was warmly congratulated | :12:49. | :12:50. | |
by his eurosceptic backbenchers. Our deputy political editor | :12:51. | :12:51. | |
James Landale reports. The European Parliament and | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
Strasbourg. With flags and banners to mark the new political season, | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
and a chance for newly elected MEPs to celebrate their candidate winning | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
the presidency of the European Commission. Their victory was this | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
man's defeat. David Cameron travelled to the Commons to explain | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
why he had failed to stop Jean-Claude Juncker getting | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
Europe's top job. But look at this. Rarely has such an outvoted Prime | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
Minister got so much applause from his backbenchers. Once again my | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
right honourable friend is the toast of Somerset for his stand against | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
Jean-Claude Juncker. I always knew he had led in his pension. That | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
pencil. He made us proud. But having lost the argument over Jean-Claude | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
Juncker, Mr Cameron said it could still win the argument for reform. | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
Last week's outcome will make the negotiations of Britain's | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
relationship with the European Parliament had and makes the stakes | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
higher. There will always be huge challenges in this long campaign to | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
reform the EU but with the termination, I believe we can | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
deliver. But what if he could not deliver? What would have to happen | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
for my honourable friend to come back from his the negotiations and | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
recommend that people vote out? His answer body wants to stay in a | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
reformed EU did not satisfy this MP. While another suggested he needed to | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
rebuild some bridges fast. Really commit himself to the painstaking | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
and difficult work of building those alliances necessary to help us get | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
those reforms? The Tories cheered and jeered but Labour said Mr | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
Cameron's strategy was in tatters after a masterclass in how to | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
alienate your allies. The Prime Minister failed over Jean-Claude | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
Juncker and was outmanoeuvred and outvoted instead of building our | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
alliances in Europe, he is a defeated Prime Minister who cannot | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
deliver for Britain. The key test of who is right in this debate will | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
come in a few weeks. David Cameron once again goes into battle, this | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
time over which top job in Britain should get in the new European | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
Commission. Only then will we know if he can rebuild the Alliance he | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
has to have if he has to have it appears to change the long run. Rolf | :15:14. | :15:26. | |
Harris is found guilty of 12 counts of indecent assault against women | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
and children. Still to come, news of Andy Murray's progress against a | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
tall and tough opponent here at Wimbledon. | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
Later on BBC London. The Tower Hamlets mayor is accused | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
of holding up a Government investigation into how the council | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
spends tax payers? money. And coming to London. | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
Why transport bosses say the Tour de France will be good for the capital. | :15:49. | :15:56. | |
Every employee in Britain now has the right to request flexible | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
working hours and can expect their request to be considered | :16:02. | :16:09. | |
BEEP in a reasonable manner by employers, previously only carers | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
and parents could do so. their request to be considered | :16:13. | :16:22. | |
Tick tock, tick tock, got to get to work. | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
Wouldn't it be nice to avoid rush-hour, stagger your hours, work | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
a four-day week, leave a bit later? From today, you have the right to | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
ask and the boss has to listen. Digital agency Clock is | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
a company already doing it, with positive results. | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
We are able to attract really great staff, we are able to make staff | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
really happy and empowered and enthusiastic about what they | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
are doing, so when we need them to do some extra stuff, because we've | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
given them extra flexibility, they are much more willing to give | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
it to us. Rules on flexible working | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
that already apply to parents or carers are being extended. | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
Anyone who has worked for 26 weeks with their employer has the right | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
to request flexible working. Requests should be in writing | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
and should be answered within three months. | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
Requests can be rejected by employers but only | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
for good business reasons, such as incurring additional cost. | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
Unions have given it a cautious welcome. | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
We are finally seeing this right extended to all workers | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
and not just parents, so there shouldn't be that same stigma | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
at work of only working mothers and dads asking to work flexibly. | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
This is a bit more like it, spreading out a bit, avoiding the | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
crush, making my work fit my life. The Government hopes that happier | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
employees are more committed and more productive employees. | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
Given there is no guarantee the boss will say yes to flexible | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
working, how many people will feel comfortable asking the question? | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
Personally, I'd feel very comfortable asking | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
for it because I think that's the way everything is going. | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
Especially the younger generations, they essentially expect to work | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
on their own terms. It depends on what line | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
of business you work in. I work in hospitality, | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
so would be a tough call to ask my boss to do less hours on a weekend. | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
And this employer predicts problems. Some employees are going to be | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
very upset about it because they are not going to get it. | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
They are going to feel like it's a God-given right. | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
The point is, it's going to become a lotto. | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
And that could cause huge upset. The biggest impact may be felt | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
by older workers, as retirement becomes more gradual, and those | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
with children, who will no longer get first dibs on flexible hours. | :18:30. | :18:31. | |
Simon Jack, BBC News. In South Africa, the Oscar Pistorius | :18:32. | :18:39. | |
murder trial resumed today, after a six week break to assess | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
the athlete's mental state. The court's ruled he wasn't mentally | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
ill when he shot his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, | :18:47. | :18:48. | |
last year and can be tried for her murder, which he denies. | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
Andrew Harding was in court. How are you feeling, Oscar? | :18:54. | :18:54. | |
So, does he have an anxiety disorder? | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
Oscar Pistorius has returned to court today after a month | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
of psychiatric evaluation. The prosecution quick to declare | :19:02. | :19:03. | |
that a panel of experts had found nothing | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
significantly wrong with him. Mr Pistorius did not suffer | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
from a mental defect or mental illness at the time of | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
the offence that would have rendered him permanently not responsible | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
for the offences charged. Pistorius maintains he shot | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
Reeva Steenkamp because she thought she was a burglar. | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
Today, his own doctor told the court that his disability meant | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
he was likely to over react. The doctor declining to be filmed | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
in court. His ability to turn | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
around is severely impaired by his lack of balance | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
and the instability of his stumps. On his stumps | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
in a dangerous situation, his ability of fleeing is severely | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
impaired and his ability to ward off danger is severely impaired. | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
To emphasise the point, Oscar Pistorius took | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
off his prosthetic legs in court and showed the judge his stumps. | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
The aim, to emphasise how vulnerable he must | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
have felt when he believed that intruders had got into his house. | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
Today the defence also argued that neighbours, who said they'd heard | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
a woman scream that night, must have been wrong, that tests proved | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
they were too far away to be sure. Pistorius' defence continues, | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
perhaps for the rest of this week. Andrew Harding, BBC News, Pretoria. | :20:23. | :20:34. | |
Andy Murray had his toughest match of the tournament so far. Murray one | :20:35. | :20:43. | |
and is due to the quarterfinals. Joe Wilson reports. It can be a long day | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
for tennis. Here is the FA's Greg Dyke, perhaps recalling England's | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
recent 0-0 draw at the World Cup. Turn your eyes skywards to see the | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
roof opening. While Kevin Anderson would not have put his head on it, | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
Andy Murray's opponent ducks most doorways. Six foot eight from | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
Johannesburg, Anderson serves from altitude with attitude. Kumar E | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
Konko that? The answer was yes, and quickly. The third game of the first | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
set, Merritt worked his first break. The set followed, 6-4. His Wimbledon | :21:20. | :21:27. | |
routine means ice bats and home-cooked dinners, steak and | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
chicken on strict rotation. He was playing like the table was laid. | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
Then rain. It became an indoor court, or a greenhouse if you | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
prefer. Match resuming on your toes. Anderson was much better. Murray had | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
to reach another level to take the second set. He did it with pace | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
covering the court, and he added pace to his serve. 120 mph straight | :21:53. | :22:00. | |
at you. Second set to -3, into the third and something other than | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
simple power. Something special. Outrageous score. But Anderson was a | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
determined opponent who'd found his feet playing on Centre Court for the | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
first time. Third set went to a tie-break. Under pressure, Andy | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
Murray prevailed. So another straight sets victory but this time | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
he'd had to climb a mountain. Andy Murray conceded afterwards that was | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
his toughest test of the tournament so far, maybe in view of preparing | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
for challenges to come that is no bad thing. Speaking of which, Novak | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
Djokovic and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga are under way in their first set on the | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
court. It could be a late night here, Fiona, I hope nobody is | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
feeling too drowsy. Let's have a look at the weather now. | :22:48. | :22:56. | |
A lower risk of seeing some showers tomorrow, a good day with sunshine | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
around, as temperatures climb into the low 20s. Although the showers | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
have been moving away from Wimbledon, we have a cluster across | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
North Kent at the moment giving torrential downpours. Tomorrow | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
morning will still have showers in the force cast but most will miss | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
them. The showers to the south-east clearing away, keeping a few going | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
across parts of Scotland for a bit longer but mainly dry night, clear | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
spells, not quite as chilly as last night. Towns and cities starting the | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
day at around ten to 13 degrees. A lot of places starting the day dry, | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
fine and bread with sunny spells. Still perhaps a bit more cloud with | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
some showers through the morning across south-west England, but they | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
are clearing away and we should see signs of brightening up here in the | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
afternoon. More sunshine for parts of Devon and Cornwall. Our top | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
temperature tomorrow will be in the south-east at 22 to 23, a lower risk | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
of seeing some showers here. The risk will push further north, so we | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
could see some locally heavy downpours across parts of Wales, the | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
Pennines and into the Lake District. Northern Ireland should stay dry and | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
bright. In parts of Scotland there is the risk of a shower, especially | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
through the Highlands. Do the central lowlands, the temperatures | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
in the 20s. The high pressure is slipping further south. By | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
Wednesday, some weather fronts moving into the North West, | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
introducing some thicker cloud. Rain to the northern and western isles. | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
The warm and sunny weather lasting August across the south-east where, | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
through Wednesday and Thursday, we could see highs in the mid-20s. More | :24:33. | :24:34. | |
details on the website. The veteran entertainer Rolf Harris | :24:35. | :24:46. | |
is found guilty of 12 counts of indecent assault against women and | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
children. That's all from the BBC News. We can | :24:52. | :24:52. |
