The Prime Minister calls for urgent action to tackle the growing threat | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
of resistance to antibiotics. There are calls for | :00:10. | :00:19. | |
Thousands already die every year in the UK because of untreatable | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
bacteria. We are in danger | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
of going back to the dark ages of medicine to see infections that | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
were treatable not be treatable. We'll be looking at what can be done | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
to encourage drug companies to invest more money in antibiotics. | :00:33. | :00:42. | |
Also tonight: A 17-year-old Palestinian is | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
murdered near Jerusalem in what's thought to be | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
a revenge attack for the deaths of three Israeli teenagers. | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
The lost dossier, former home secretary Leon Brittan says he told | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
officials about alleged paedophile activity at Westminster in 1983. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
He's out, the reigning champion, Andy Murray is defeated in straight | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
sets by Grigor Dimitrov. I need to go away and make a lot | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
of improvements in my game. I've lost a couple of matches in | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
the last few slams, where I've lost in straight sets and played poorly. | :01:08. | :01:15. | |

a hundred women into the UK - And at an all time high - house | :01:26. | :01:25. | |
prices surpass their 2007 Good evening and welcome to the | :01:26. | :01:47. | |
BBC News at Six. The Prime Minister has warned that | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
the world could soon be cast back into the dark ages | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
of medicine unless action is taken to combat the growing threat | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
of resistance to antibiotics. It's estimated that | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
around 25,000 people die in Europe every year from infections | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
which are resistant to antibiotics. 5,000 of those deaths are in the | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
UK Worryingly, no new class of antibiotics has been | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
discovered since 1987. But drug companies say | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
there is little financial incentive to produce them. | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
Our Medical Correspondent Fergus Walsh reports. | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
This is a war that the superbugs are winning. Bacteria have become immune | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
to many drugs that were once life-savers. Kelly had a simple | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
urinary infection, but ended up in intensive care. Six different | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
antibiotics failed and her family were called to her bedside and told | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
she might not survive. I was scared. Really scared. I felt, | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
obviously, lucky. But it made me worried, every night, was I going to | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
make it? I had really bad hallucinations, which I think was | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
the drugs. From David Cameron, an apocalyptic warning. A grim future | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
awaits is unless the world takes action. We are in danger of going | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
back to the dark ages of medicine, to see infections that were | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
treatable not be treatable. The pharmaceutical industry has not been | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
developing new classes of antibiotics. We need to create some | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
incentives. That is why he has asked an economist to review the problem. | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
But the pharmaceutical industry will take some persuading to develop | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
drugs which will be so precious that they will barely be used. If you | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
think we have spent something like $1 billion over the last ten or 12 | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
years on antibiotic research, trying to make new medicines, if, at the | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
other end, the answer is, thank you very much, we're not going to use | :03:55. | :04:03. | |
them, that is not a great incentive. Antibiotics were a British | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
discovery, but it is proving so hard to find new drugs, scientists have | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
been forced to search in unusual places. Among the approaches being | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
tried searching deep oceans for compounds that might yield new and | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
have a optics, exploring how viruses can be used to kill microbes and | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
finding ways to weaken bacteria so that they can be more easily | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
destroyed. The approach being tried here, at University College London. | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
One of the things we do is to try to disarm the bacteria, modify them in | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
such a way that they are no longer able to cause infection. This | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
strategy does work, we have shown this in a model of infection. The | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
issue of superbugs may be discussed at a G-7 summit next year. Microbes | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
respect no borders, so the battle against bacteria will require global | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
action. Fergus Walsh is with me now. A lot | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
of this seems to boil down to money, or incentives for full | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
pharmaceutical companies to come up with drugs? Yes, it is not just | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
governments that come up with drugs? Yes, it is not just governments | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
that, but antibiotics, it is the pharmaceutical industry. They have | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
lost billions because it is so difficult to create antibiotics. | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
They need powerful incentives, pricing agreements, less bureaucracy | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
in clinical trials if they are to put the money in. This is partly a | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
battle against evolution. Bacteria are very good in evolving resistance | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
to drugs, partly because they are overused. This will require global | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
action if the world is to stay ahead and antibiotics are to remain | :05:42. | :05:42. | |
effective. Hundreds of Palestinians have | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
clashed with Israeli police in east Jerusalem after a Palestinian | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
teenager was found dead in a forest. It's the thought | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
the 17-year-old was kidnapped this morning and murdered in | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
a revenge attack for the deaths of three Israeli teenagers last month. | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the Palestinian | :06:00. | :06:00. | |
teenager's death "despicable" and called for calm. | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
Christian Fraser reports from East Jerusalem. | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
Jerusalem Forest, where is really police recovered this morning the | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
remains of a body. A young man who had been eaten and set alight. A | :06:19. | :06:28. | |
17-year-old Palestinian schoolboy, who neighbours say was kidnapped by | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
Israeli settlers. His homers in East Jerusalem and it now marks a | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
makeshift front line in running battles with Israeli soldiers. | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
Inside the house, the grieving relatives. Amongst them, Mohammed's | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
mother, who had the grim task of identifying her son in a police | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
morgue. TRANSLATION: They told me some body was kidnapped on the way | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
to the mosque. I called his phone. I kept calling and calling. It was | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
switched off. My son was not answering. The confrontations with | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
soldiers are treated as an everyday occurrence in Palestinian | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
territories. But there is nothing normal in this. Young men, risking | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
lives, throwing stones in the direction of snipers. Our situation | :07:18. | :07:26. | |
is very bad. It's very bad. All of these guys, they are relatives. And | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
they are boiling. The patience wears thin on all sides. Suddenly, the | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
house becomes the focus of a sustained Israeli assault. Flash | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
bangs, rubber bullets and pandemonium. There's not even time | :07:42. | :07:57. | |
to breathe. This situation can quickly get out of control. The | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
feeling on the Palestinians is that their lives are considered to be | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
worth less, so it's important for the Israeli authorities to pursue | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
the perpetrators of that crime as if it were an Israeli child. Of course, | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
earlier it was, three of them, and ducted and murdered, say Israel, by | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
Hamas. The Palestinian leader told me he leaves this to be just as a | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
borrowed. It shames our country, he says, and if it is Israelis | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
responsible, I consider it a terrorist attack. There is rising | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
tension in the West Bank, in East Jerusalem and mortars are being | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
fired from Gaza. The Middle East's rhombus grinning conflict is | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
simmering again. East Jerusalem. | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
Andy Murray's reign at Wimbledon is over | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
after he was beaten in straight sets by the 11th seed Grigor Dimitrov. | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
After the triumph of last year when he made history | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
by becoming the first British champion in 77 years, it was | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
a disappointing way to go out. Joe Wilson was watching. | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
Andy Murray refused to blame his defeat on any injury, which perhaps | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
makes it even harder to fathom. Basically, he unravelled. In truth, | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
his great defence became a 3-set anticlimax. | :09:17. | :09:17. | |
Joe Wilson was watching. What filled the hill was hope. | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
After all, Andy Murray had reached the quarterfinal barely putting | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
a foot wrong. In amongst it, | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
a Bulgarian minority who knew what they were chanting about. | :09:25. | :09:25. | |
Dimitrov! Dimitrov! | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
Grigor Dimitrov and Andy Murray, almost like family, | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
are good pals off the court. On it, | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
they were supposed to be close. Instead, | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
Dimitrov left Murray standing. Were they watching their champion? | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
Dimitrov, seeded 11, needed just 25 minutes to win | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
the first set, 6-1 it finished with an almost apologetic air. | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
Even for the woman who coaches Murray, this was a mystery. | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
For the man himself, for the first time this year, | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
he was dealing with adversity. For the first time, | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
visibly battling himself. The second set went to a tie-break. | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
If The second set went to a tie-break. | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
error, it was doomed to failure. And that was two sets gone. | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
In the third set, there were moments of real quality and signs that, just | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
maybe, Murray and get back on top. But so much of Murray's | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
pain was self-inflicted. A double fault gave | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
Dimitrov another break. In just over two hours, | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
it was all over. Game, set and match, Dimitrov. | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
To sum up a mood from the Royal box, an expression of deflation. | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
I just wish I had played a little better and made it | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
a bit tougher for him at times. I had been in that situation | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
before and I know what it was like. I was trying to get deep | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
into slams for the first time and, mentally, it's not easy. | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
I wish I could have pushed him a bit more. | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
It's sad, he won last year. To go out at this point is | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
just unbelievable, really. Defending his title, | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
it was a different game, wasn't it? A different player. | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
So, the beginning of the end for Murray? | :11:18. | :11:27. | |
Well, here is some perspective from a man who won eight grand slam | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
titles and never gave up. He's not ready to give in. | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
Come on, he comes through, he won Wimbledon last year, | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
he won the Olympics. The success that he has had has been | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
spectacular over the last couple of years. | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
To write him off would be a terrible thing to do. | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
So, not the end of the world. It just might feel like it. | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
And it's not the end of Wimbledon. Novak Djokovic is through to the | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
semifinals. It looks like Roger Federer is going through as well, | :11:54. | :12:03. | |
against Stan Wawrinka. So, there is every chance that we will get an | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
interesting men's champion this year. Of course, it just won't be a | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
British one. It just might feel like it. | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
The Home Office says copies of a dossier that it received 30 years | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
ago alleging there were paedophiles at Westminster have been lost. | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
Lord Brittan who was Home Secretary at the time says he handed it to | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
his civil servants to investigate. The Conservative peer has come | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
under pressure to reveal what he knew about the claims. | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
Today he said he'd handled the matter appropriately. | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
Our Home Affairs Correspondent Matt Prodger reports. | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
Lord Brittan, being asked knew of allegations of paedophiles | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
at Westminster 30 years ago. There is going to be a statement at | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
lunchtime. In the mid-80s, he was Home Secretary, when given at least | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
one dossier of claims about prominent child sex abusers. They | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
were provided by a fellow Conservative MP, Geoffrey Dickens, | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
now dead. The documents have since vanished. Lord Brittan today said a | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
substantial bundle of papers had been examined by his officials. He | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
said he recently discovered that appropriate action was taken at the | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
time and some details passed to prosecutors and the police. Do you | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
want a man to represent you or eight party robot? The dossiers are of | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
interest to those that believe that the late MP Cyril Smith was not the | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
only powerful political figure to have abused children with impunity | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
in the 70s and 80s. Of the dossier has been destroyed, people will | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
think that names are trying to be protected and that is the last thing | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
we want. We want to get to the bottom of this historic child sex | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
abuse. That means the Home Office coming clean with the information | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
they have. Back in 1983, Geoffrey Dickens threatens to stand up in | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
Parliament and name eight prominent public | :13:58. | :13:57. | |
Parliament and name eight prominent figures who he said had abused | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
children. But he never did. The Home Office says it can find no trace of | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
the dossier it was given, except for a letter saying it was acted upon. | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
What little the Home Office claims to know has been passed to police | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
investigating, amongst other allegations, but a former | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
guesthouse, here in London, was somewhere that the famous and | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
powerful once abused children. Meanwhile, further arrests are | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
expected in connection with a former children's home, Knowl View in | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
Rochdale, where Cyril Smith abused the vulnerable. Today is a reminder | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
that the historical sex abuse scandal is not just about | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
celebrities, but the corridors of power as well. | :14:41. | :14:46. | |

thrown out. And work begins to preserve the chimneys on one of | :15:18. | :15:18. | |
London's most famous landmarks. If you're an entrepreneur | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
and you need backing for your idea or you need to raise | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
some cash, who do you go to? New figures from the Bank of England | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
this week show that for small businesses it can still be | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
a struggle getting money Last month, net lending fell | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
by nearly 3% on the year. Which is why many are turning to | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
what's called ?crowd funding?, asking people to invest money | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
in businesses or projects, like the forthcoming West End | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
musical ?Wind in the Willows? More than nine million investments | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
and donations were made last year Our business correspondent | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
has been finding out more. We are offering 40% | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
of our company for this. We sell different types of yarn | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
for different crafts. What do these businesses | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
and projects have in common? They bypass the banks and put these | :16:14. | :16:17. | |

flowing for any new business. Here they make dairy | :16:22. | :16:29. | |
and gluten-free chocolate. The trouble was they could not | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
raise the ?60,000 to buy more We went backwards and forwards to | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
many banks, spent months, Within 24 hours | :16:39. | :16:43. | |

the same they start to generate What do you get back | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
for that investment? You could get a reward like | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
a T-shirt or tickets to a match. Or if you are lending to | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
an established business you could earn interest plus get | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
your original investment back. Or it could be like the TV show | :17:30. | :17:33. | |

three men from Cardiff who've become jihadists in Syria, has told the BBC | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
he's prepared to die for the cause. Aseel Muthana, who's 17, | :18:37. | :18:42. | |

His brother left home for Syria in November. This video shows him | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
appealing for others to join him. His brother did so in February. A | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
man we believe is Aseel Muthana has spoken to BBC Wales. | :19:19. | :19:33. | |
This man is a close friend of the family. He cannot believe the casual | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
way he talks about killing people. I was shocked that a 17-year-old was | :19:41. | :19:50. | |
saying about executing and removing heads from bodies. It is crazy. Is | :19:51. | :19:59. | |
that the teenager you know? Not at all. Billings in Cardiff remained | :20:00. | :20:07. | |
tense. An 18-year-old man has been arrested as police investigate | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
links. What many in Cardiff are still struggling to understand is | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
how these young men came to be radicalised. Could more have been | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
done to stop them from leaving home to fight abroad? The advisory board | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
of mosques called for tight checks on who is allowed to lead sermons. | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
Some feel those controls have been missing in Cardiff. We need to be | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
careful about to be give platforms to, whether it be in a place of | :20:36. | :20:46. | |
worship or events that we organise. The police have to do that as a | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
community. The Home Secretary has suggested greater surveillance | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
powers may follow but officers say them -- they cannot keep hold of | :20:59. | :20:59. | |
everyone. And viewers in Wales can watch | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
a full report on Islamic extremism It will also be available to | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
everyone on the BBC iPlayer. A father who shoot his newborn baby | :21:07. | :21:19. | |
has gone on trial for manslaughter after the boy died 12 years later. | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
Alan Young shook his five-month-old in 1988, leaving him severely | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
disabled. A year later he admitted causing grievous bodily harm, but | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
when Michael died he was charged with manslaughter, which he denies. | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
Adult social care services could soon be ?unsustainable? if pressures | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
That's the warning from the association that | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
represents directors of adult social services in England. | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
It claims financial constraints, coupled with a growing demand | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
from an ageing population, means many people may not get | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
This is about the care that keeps older people and those with | :21:53. | :22:07. | |
disabilities in their homes, helping them with things like washing and | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
dressing or supports them when they need residential care. Council | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
bosses are warning that growing demand and financial pressures are | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
making it harder to keep people safe. Sheila relies on the support | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
she gets on her sheltered flat to see is independent of possible. The | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
council pays for an alarm which means she can call for help. These | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
can be used 24 hours a day. The council says -- is under financial | :22:38. | :22:45. | |
pressure and she is worried the alarm will be taken away. It would | :22:46. | :22:55. | |
be disastrous. It is our lifeline. The association that represents | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
directors of adult social services there is the pressures they these | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
are unsustainable. In the last four years that has been a 14% rise in | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
demand for help for an ageing population and spending has reduced | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
by 12%. This year councils have set care budgets of ?13.6 billion. ?266 | :23:14. | :23:22. | |
million less than the year before. At the centre they have increased | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
the charges people pay. The forest is as it is coping but tough | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
decisions are being made. People are losing out on some of the early | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
support services. That is a risk. It may be financial risk because it | :23:40. | :23:48. | |
means there can mark needs grow. This is an issue that is not going | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
to go away. The demand for help in old age will continue to grow. The | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
government has says it has put money into social care. The key to meeting | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
that demand will be the better integration of health and social | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
services. Keeping people healthy longer takes time, so in the last | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
year the government says it has put an extra ?1 billion into social care | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
and councils are responsible for how the money is spent. | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
Dennis Hopper was best known as a Hollywood actor and director | :24:21. | :24:22. | |
But the star, who died last year, was also a talented photographer, | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
capturing both the counter culture and the famous faces of the Sixties. | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
His Easy Rider co-star Peter Fonda is in London, where Hopper's | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
photographs and films are being celebrated this summer at the | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
Royal Academy and the British Film Institute, and he has been talking | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
to our Arts Editor about their difficult relationship. | :24:41. | :24:49. | |
Peter Fonda produced Easy Rider. Dennis Hopper directed the movie. | :24:50. | :24:58. | |
The film's two stars could never agree who should take the credit for | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
writing it. Let me put it this way, we got the money to make the movie | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
on my telling of the story, which I had probably told ET Thames. The | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
movie UC today is the story I told in 1968 when we got the money. Terry | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
gave us the title. Terry and Dennis put in script form. My story. Dennis | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
said when we were shooting the titles for the movie in 1969 that he | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
wanted my name off the writing credits. Why? He had decided in his | :25:35. | :25:43. | |
mind that he and he alone had written the movie. He was a bit of a | :25:44. | :25:51. | |
megalomaniac. Did you ever patted up? I was not allowed to go to his | :25:52. | :26:01. | |
funeral, though he did not patch it up with me. He was upset that I | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
hired him and he did not hire me. Easy Rider could be framed as a | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
journey where you and Dennis try to discover America. How do you see | :26:12. | :26:20. | |
America in 2014? A really wonderful country that has totally abandoned | :26:21. | :26:23. | |
its citizens. Abandoned them to money. That is how Peter Fonda sees | :26:24. | :26:31. | |
America today. This is how Dennis Hopper saw it in the 60s. I loved | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
his creativity. He would say, I will never top to you again. As for | :26:39. | :26:46. | |
Dennis Hopper's point of view, it is on show at the Royal Academy. | :26:47. | :26:55. | |
We had lovely sunshine today. Much of southern England had beautiful | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
sunshine and temperatures have reflected this. Highs of 70s have in | :27:03. | :27:15. | |
Fahrenheit. -- 70s of. A disappointing 17 degrees for western | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
Scotland. This weather front continues to push south and east. It | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
is not going to bring any substantial rain for the gardens. It | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
is dying off. The south-east starts glorious with lovely sunshine. | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
Disappointing underneath the clouds and into the far north and west we | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
could see some showers into the afternoon. For Northern Ireland, 17 | :27:41. | :27:48. | |
or 18 degrees. For the far north of England, lightening up. -- | :27:49. | :28:01. | |
brightening. Through Somerset and east of that we could see more | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
sunshine and maybe even the warmest day of the year. For Wimbledon, | :28:06. | :28:11. | |
perfect weather conditions, I suspect you will need sunscreen. On | :28:12. | :28:20. | |
Friday we have more of a significant front which will bring wet and windy | :28:21. | :28:25. | |
weather. We hold onto sunshine in the south-west corner and the | :28:26. | :28:28. | |
warmth, but that is the exception. It will be cool where the rain will | :28:29. | :28:38. | |
linger. Highs of 25-26. You are not going to like the weekend. | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
A call for new antibiotics to tackle the growing threat | :28:43. | :28:48. | |
That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me and on | :28:49. | :28:54. | |
BBC One we now join the | :28:55. | :28:55. |
