:01:54. > :01:59.He stepped outside the International Space Station just after 1pm this

:02:29. > :02:29.extension and are being removed from their suits, a laborious process,
:02:30. > :02:32.with the help of colleagues. To bring us up-to-date
:02:33. > :02:34.with the events of this historic day, let's go to this report
:02:35. > :02:45.by Editor David Shukman. It will be his first space walk. A
:02:46. > :02:50.moment of exploration history, as Tim Peake prepares to venture
:02:51. > :02:55.outside the space station. Weightless, but jammed into a bulky
:02:56. > :03:04.space suit, he needs colleagues to guide him into the airlock. We hear
:03:05. > :03:08.him go through final checks. There have been plenty of space walks
:03:09. > :03:12.before, but they are always hazardous. At about one o'clock it
:03:13. > :03:18.was time to float out. It was dark when he emerged, a tiny figure
:03:19. > :03:22.against the vast space station. It is really cool seeing the union Jack
:03:23. > :03:29.outside. It has explored all over the world and now it has explored
:03:30. > :03:35.space. It is great to be wearing it, a privilege, a proud moment. Hand by
:03:36. > :03:40.hand, Tim Peake and a fellow astronaut inched along outside.
:03:41. > :03:44.Filmed by his American colleague, Tim Peake is perched at the very
:03:45. > :03:49.edge of the space station, in position to help carry out a key
:03:50. > :03:54.repair. But look how hard it is managing tools in space. This is the
:03:55. > :04:00.view from Tim Peake's camera. Everything is weightless and wants
:04:01. > :04:04.to float away. Stepping outside the International Space Station is
:04:05. > :04:08.always risky, but space walks are essential to build and fix things.
:04:09. > :04:13.The astronauts emerge through an airlock here. If we take a closer
:04:14. > :04:18.look, we can see how they had to make their way 60 metres to replace
:04:19. > :04:23.what is called a sequential shunt unit, part of the power supply
:04:24. > :04:27.connecting solar panels. So how do they stay safe out there? Well,
:04:28. > :04:34.they're space suits have 14 layers of material, to give protection from
:04:35. > :04:40.the vacuum of space and temperatures ranging from below 100 Celsius,
:04:41. > :04:45.right up to plus 120. Backpacks contain oxygen, power supply and
:04:46. > :04:50.water for life support. And in case they drift away, small thruster jets
:04:51. > :04:55.can manoeuvre them back to safety. The main task was to replace the
:04:56. > :04:59.power unit, and they had to get it done within 31 minutes because that
:05:00. > :05:04.is how long night lasts on the space station. If sunlight hit the solar
:05:05. > :05:11.panels, they could have been electrocuted. In the event, all went
:05:12. > :05:15.well. Then, a problem. We know it is a small amount of water. I don't
:05:16. > :05:27.know if you can move it around and get to it, or try to drink it? It is
:05:28. > :05:30.three inches above my head. The spacewalk was brought to an end a
:05:31. > :05:34.couple of hours early. The astronauts were ordered back into
:05:35. > :05:39.the airlock. There was no alarm but this is a reminder of the dangers of
:05:40. > :05:43.working in space. And cue very much, you have done a great job. -- thank
:05:44. > :05:56.you very much. This is a live shot from the space
:05:57. > :06:02.station. Tim Peake has just come in. On the left, obscured by the
:06:03. > :06:07.astronaut in the blue shirt, is Colonel Kopra, whose helmet reported
:06:08. > :06:11.the leak. The suits operate with a network of pipes carrying water
:06:12. > :06:16.through the suit. That is how they regulate temperature. Clearly, there
:06:17. > :06:19.was a leak. An Italian astronaut on a previous spacewalk had a more
:06:20. > :06:23.serious flow of water in his helmet and had to come back in a hurry.
:06:24. > :06:27.Clearly there will be an investigation into what has gone
:06:28. > :06:32.wrong this time, because spacewalks are a critical part of running the
:06:33. > :06:35.space station. To have this particular walk cut so short will
:06:36. > :06:38.raise a lot of questions. But the main thing is that no one is in
:06:39. > :06:44.danger. Both astronauts are back inside safely, but they will want a
:06:45. > :06:45.very close look at what went wrong before the next astronauts get sent
:06:46. > :06:52.out again. Criminal proceedings
:06:53. > :06:54.against Lord Janner have been formally dropped,
:06:55. > :06:55.following his death last month. The former Labour MP had been
:06:56. > :06:58.accused of committing sexual offences against children
:06:59. > :07:00.dating back to the 1960s, But today, in a separate
:07:01. > :07:03.investigation, the BBC can reveal that 12 former residents
:07:04. > :07:05.of children's homes claim that they were sexually
:07:06. > :07:09.abused by Greville Janner. A political veteran,
:07:10. > :07:15.a member of the Magic Circle, Lord Janner went to his grave
:07:16. > :07:19.pursued by those who claimed You thought it was black
:07:20. > :07:23.and white, didn't you? Obviously it was
:07:24. > :07:51.touchy-feely kind of stuff. At least nine men were to have
:07:52. > :08:12.accused Lord Janner of child abuse here at the Old Bailey this year,
:08:13. > :08:15.but it's just been confirmed that his death means criminal
:08:16. > :08:19.proceedings can't continue. Instead, the national child abuse
:08:20. > :08:21.enquiry will take But solicitors representing alleged
:08:22. > :08:28.victims say they have been deprived These are people who gave
:08:29. > :08:33.their statements, some There have been so many missed
:08:34. > :08:37.opportunities for this case to come to trial when Janner
:08:38. > :08:44.was alive and well. We've discovered evidence that
:08:45. > :08:47.Greville Janner, as Leicester MP, regularly visited the city's
:08:48. > :08:50.children's homes and one The Beaches is no ordinary
:08:51. > :08:54.residential unit for difficult In 1981 the BBC filmed at this
:08:55. > :08:58.children's home where the manager He promoted a technique
:08:59. > :09:03.called regression therapy. Difficult children would be
:09:04. > :09:06.treated like babies. But that allowed him
:09:07. > :09:08.to viciously abuse them. He was jailed for life in 1991
:09:09. > :09:14.and died three years later. You recognise that something
:09:15. > :09:16.is right or wrong. Former detective Graham Peene
:09:17. > :09:19.reported Frank Beck in the late 70s, after seeing him rubbing
:09:20. > :09:23.a boy's groin. But he was to make another
:09:24. > :09:26.visit to The Beaches. As I walked in, sat in an armchair
:09:27. > :09:29.was Greville Janner. What's an MP doing there and what's
:09:30. > :09:37.a boy doing sitting on the arm And he's actually being too tactile
:09:38. > :09:43.with a young boy who was obviously Being a detective, it was an unusual
:09:44. > :09:51.occurrence, and therefore it's something that I felt ought
:09:52. > :09:57.to be reported. And what happened after
:09:58. > :09:59.you put the report in? Well, I never heard
:10:00. > :10:03.anything more about it. A second police officer also
:10:04. > :10:05.reported his concerns, We spoke to dozens of men and women
:10:06. > :10:10.who lived and worked Eight identified the MP as one
:10:11. > :10:17.of Beck's regular visitors. Greville Janner was one
:10:18. > :10:19.of them, definitely. How can you be sure
:10:20. > :10:21.who that man was? Because when I was 14, 15,
:10:22. > :10:26.I saw him in papers, leaflets. And what did people say
:10:27. > :10:29.about Janner in the home? They were friends, Beck
:10:30. > :10:34.and Janner were friends. A former official at Leicestershire
:10:35. > :10:37.council told us when he raised concerns about Frank Beck's
:10:38. > :10:39.methods, Beck said he had Beck used Janner's name to achieve,
:10:40. > :10:46.he said, whatever Beck Yet during Beck's trial,
:10:47. > :10:53.he and a former children's home resident sensationally accused
:10:54. > :10:55.Greville Janner of child abuse. Responding in the Commons,
:10:56. > :10:59.the MP did not mention his visit to children's homes
:11:00. > :11:03.but he did say this. There was, of course,
:11:04. > :11:06.not a shred of truth in any of the allegations of criminal
:11:07. > :11:08.conduct made against me But there is now a thick file
:11:09. > :11:16.of allegations against We understand at least 20 men
:11:17. > :11:20.and one woman have accused him. 12 at least are former residents
:11:21. > :11:25.of children's homes. One says he was forced to have sex
:11:26. > :11:28.with Greville Janner while staying There are claims of sexual abuse
:11:29. > :11:33.at different locations, including a school, a former
:11:34. > :11:35.swimming pool at this Leicester Prosecutors are understood to regard
:11:36. > :11:41.the allegations as serious It stands in stark contrast
:11:42. > :11:48.to Lord Janner's public service, including work to remember
:11:49. > :11:50.the victims of Nazi death camps, His family have steadfastly
:11:51. > :11:56.defended him as an entirely innocent And Tom Symonds is at
:11:57. > :12:14.the Old Bailey for us. People will have been watching your
:12:15. > :12:22.report and wondering why is it that the claims against Lord Janner were
:12:23. > :12:27.never tested in court. He was investigated in 1991, 2002, and 2006
:12:28. > :12:31.but there were never any charges. At least he would have been able to put
:12:32. > :12:37.his own side of the story. During that period, that man, Mark, he put
:12:38. > :12:41.his own side of the story each time to the police investigations. Why
:12:42. > :12:44.were they never charged? There were possible reasons. Firstly, these
:12:45. > :12:49.were children from difficult backgrounds and it is possible based
:12:50. > :12:54.on B1 believed. It is possible there was too much deference to a major
:12:55. > :12:58.local MP. And also, the fact that Frank Beck, a convicted paedophile,
:12:59. > :13:03.had accused him, may have clouded the issue. But now with more victims
:13:04. > :13:08.coming forward it is too late. His dementia started in 2009 onwards. It
:13:09. > :13:12.will be for the independent child sexual abuse enquiry to consider why
:13:13. > :13:16.the investigations happened the way they did, why there were no
:13:17. > :13:19.prosecutions, and the facts of the case itself. They will be able to
:13:20. > :13:22.question alleged victims and they will look at the role of the
:13:23. > :13:26.council, police and other authorities. Crucially, they will
:13:27. > :13:29.start that quickly. The first hearing will be in March and it is
:13:30. > :13:33.expected the work will take some of this year. Thank you.

:13:38. > :13:40.Officials said the worst of those affected is brain-dead.
:13:41. > :13:55.What details are emerging of what went wrong? These six men were
:13:56. > :13:59.healthy volunteers aged 28-49, all of them men, who volunteered to test
:14:00. > :14:03.a new drug which works on the mood and pain receptors in the brain.
:14:04. > :14:08.This is in Rennes, Brittany, north-west France. They were given
:14:09. > :14:11.the drug last week and three days later the first of them was admitted
:14:12. > :14:16.to hospital with a catastrophic brain injury and he is now brain
:14:17. > :14:20.dead. The others have neurological problems, three of them may have
:14:21. > :14:26.irreversible brain damage. This drug trial actually began in July of last
:14:27. > :14:31.year. 84 other people have been taking part in the trial and they
:14:32. > :14:36.have been gradually escalating the dose. These men got the largest
:14:37. > :14:40.dose. All the others who took part are now being traced and offered
:14:41. > :14:46.tests. This has echoes of the Northwick Park Hospital ranks
:14:47. > :14:50.scandal ten years ago in London, where six men became dangerously ill
:14:51. > :14:54.within minutes of being offered a drug. In that case, it was the first

:15:58. > :16:06.with gay and lesbian Anglicans saying they feel abandoned. The

:16:10. > :16:14.especially in countries where being gay or lesbian is still a criminal

:16:18. > :16:20.Canterbury was flanked by three other Anglican leaders, although not
:16:21. > :16:25.the most conservative. When Justin Welby began he offered an apology to

:17:01. > :17:02.mentioned, there is a simple answer it wasn't mentioned in the joint

:23:27. > :23:29.Thank you very much, Brian. Now, there can't be many of us
:23:30. > :23:32.who've not been affected by the heavy rain
:23:33. > :23:33.in recent weeks. But spare a thought for the people
:23:34. > :23:42.of a village in Pembrokeshire. It's rained every day in Eglwyswrw
:23:43. > :23:44.since October 26 last year. Our Wales correspondent
:23:45. > :23:52.Hywel Griffith is there. Yes, here in the hills above the
:23:53. > :23:55.brick shaped coastline people are used to a bit of wild weather at
:23:56. > :23:59.this time of year but this winter has been an awful lot milder and
:24:00. > :24:05.arguably much bleaker than most, with day after day of drizzle. Early
:24:06. > :24:08.this morning it rained once again. Soon, begrudgingly, Eglwyswrw could
:24:09. > :24:11.win its place in the Met Office's record books.
:24:12. > :24:15.Spare a thought for the parents of Britain's wettest village,
:24:16. > :24:19.where it's been too rainy for Georgian to play out
:24:20. > :24:22.where it's been too rainy for children to play out
:24:23. > :24:25.The endless days of drizzle have taken their toll.
:24:26. > :24:27.Very wound up and very difficult, I have to admit.
:24:28. > :24:30.Because, we did have a bit of sunshine last week.
:24:31. > :24:32.You can remember that? I can remember that, yes.
:24:33. > :24:38.We live on a farm so actually we just muck in, get our overalls
:24:39. > :24:42.on and get out on the farm regardless of what the weather is.
:24:43. > :24:44.Nestled on the edge of the Preseli Mountains,
:24:45. > :24:48.But since its only pub closed last year it's had nowhere for people

:24:52. > :24:54.Brian Llewellyn runs the village stores.
:24:55. > :24:58.We sell waterproofs and wellington boots.
:24:59. > :25:05.And you couldn't survive, or get about anyway,
:25:06. > :25:08.without a good pair of wellington boots in the last two months.
:25:09. > :25:13.And those wellies have been put into action.

:25:24. > :25:27.They say maybe, maybe this is coming to an end,
:25:28. > :25:31.If that's the case there will be a party in Eglwyswrw tonight
:25:32. > :25:33.because it's one record we don't want to be famous for.
:25:34. > :25:35.And 81 days is enough, that's what the villagers
:25:36. > :25:41.The record for continuous rainfall is 89 days,
:25:42. > :25:44.which fell on the Isle of Islay back in 1923.
:25:45. > :25:47.Here they are keeping their eyes on the skies in the hope that record

:25:55. > :25:57.Time for a look at the weekend weather.
:25:58. > :26:04.Sarah Keith-Lucas, Kanpur Eglwyswrw expect more rain?
:26:05. > :26:06.Fingers crossed they should have a dry day tomorrow during the day but
:26:07. > :26:10.intermittently dry weather and further rain and sleet and snow in
:26:11. > :26:16.fact over the next week or so. Things have been turning drier funny
:26:17. > :26:19.parts of the country and colder, more typical for the time of year
:26:20. > :26:23.after the mild start. Here is the view from Perth and Kinross taken by
:26:24. > :26:28.one of our weather Watchers, glorious picture showing the skies
:26:29. > :26:30.and sunshine. Many places still seeing some of the white stuff on
:26:31. > :26:34.the ground during the course of the weekend. Here is the radar picture
:26:35. > :26:38.that shows we have had some showers over the past few hours motoring
:26:39. > :26:41.through parts of Wales, the Midlands, North West England, and
:26:42. > :26:45.the showers continue their journey south overnight so we could see a
:26:46. > :26:48.flurry of snow, perhaps some sleet in Southern counties and eastern
:26:49. > :26:51.areas once again prone to seeing sleet and snow showers with the
:26:52. > :26:56.breeze coming in from the North Sea but ice is likely to be a problem on
:26:57. > :27:00.untreated roads and pavements during Saturday morning. Take care first
:27:01. > :27:06.thing. Temperatures could be as low as -10 degrees in the snow cover in
:27:07. > :27:11.Scotland, so a cold start with a hard frost. Saturdays shaping up to
:27:12. > :27:14.be a hard day -- sunny day. Eastern areas with the wind coming in from
:27:15. > :27:18.the North Sea will feel quite raw with sleet and snow showers in land

:27:23. > :27:26.for northern areas and further south we could see highs of six or seven.
:27:27. > :27:29.It will feel chilly but at least we have the sunshine to compensate.
:27:30. > :27:34.Three Saturday evening and overnight we will see a mix of rain, sleet and
:27:35. > :27:37.snow arriving in the north-west and some considerable uncertainty about
:27:38. > :27:40.how that develops through the day on Sunday. Because season further
:27:41. > :27:44.wintry flurries across parts of Wales, north-west England and the
:27:45. > :27:48.Midlands. Cloudy day on Sunday competitors Sunday Li Saturday, two
