Unravelling the secrets of the universe - the most important | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
scientific discovery for a generation. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
We have detected gravitational waves. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
Scientists prove that Einstein was right after all - | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
gravitational waves ripple through space and time. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
The discovery takes us closer than ever to understanding | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
Gravitational waves provide a completely new way of looking | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
The ability to detect them has the potential | :00:34. | :00:38. | |

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
It's the question that's as old as astronomy itself - | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
Today, scientists are much closer than ever before | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
They've proved the existence of so-called gravitational waves - | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
that's what Einstein called them 100 years ago. | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
Here's our science correspondent, Palab Ghosh, on what's | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
being described as landmark in scientific endeavour. | :02:11. | :02:21. | |
Powerful telescopes can see distant stars and far-away galaxies. From | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
now, astronomers will be able to see much deeper into space and further | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
back in time. Eventually, right up to the moment of the Big Bang. | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
Scientists have been searching for ripples in space called | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
gravitational waves. Today, they told the world they had found them. | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Created by two black holes colliding more than a billion light years | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
away. We have detected gravitational waves. We did it! Professor Stephen | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
Hawking told me it was a ground-breaking development. | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
Gravitational waves provide a completely new way of looking at the | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
universe. The ability to detect them has the potential to revolutionise | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
astronomy. This discovery is the first detection of the black hole | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
binary system and the first observation of black holes merging. | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves 100 | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
years ago, but what are they? Gravitational waves are created | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
whenever there is a seismic event in the universe such as an exploding | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
star. These waves ripple across the galaxy at the speed of light, | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
stretching and squeezing space as they go. But they are incredibly | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
hard to detect because, when they hit the Earth, they give it the | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
tiniest of jobs, barely the width of an atom. Researchers developed a | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
powerful laser system capable of measuring such a tiny distance. The | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
beam runs along a tube just under the ground and it is stretched by a | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
minute amount when a gravitational wave passes through. This is mind | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
blowing. It really is, when you consider that these black holes | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
actually spiralled in over a billion years ago and the signal has been | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
travelling to us since then. We turned on our detectors at exactly | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
the right time to detect it arriving. Those gravitational waves | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
can be turned into sound. Listen carefully for the chirping. That is | :04:37. | :04:45. | |
the chirping we have been looking for. That is one of the beautiful | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
things, we are not only going to be seeing the universe but listening to | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
it. Today's result opens a new window into how the universe began | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
and it will reveal a new view of the cosmos beyond our imagination. | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
And with me is our Science Editor, David Shukman. | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
What has changed as a result of this? Suddenly we have got a | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
completely new way to look at the universe. It is as revolutionary as | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
the moment 400 years ago when Galileo looked through his telescope | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
and he saw things in space that nobody could imagine existed. | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
Scientists are now stunned about information about this incredible | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
event in space, two black holes colliding, sending out a ripple of | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
gravitational waves. The potential is huge, to look for things and | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
confirm things that they know exist and to stumble across stuff nobody | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
can predict, even to go back right to where it began with the Big Bang. | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
How did they do it? Five decades of patience and determination. | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
Scientists in America, Britain and Europe coming up with the design for | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
an incredibly delicate network of laser beams, sensitive enough to | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
pick up those ripples coming through space. It has been a difficult | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
journey. I went to see the first space. It has been a difficult | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
it wasn't working well, picking up the sound of trucks on the nearby | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
highway but nothing from space. Nobody knew | :06:19. | :06:19. | |
as one of the great achievements in modern science. | :06:20. | :06:46. | |
Our Health Editor, Hugh Pym, reports. | :06:47. | :06:55. | |
It has lasted not months but years, a long-running and acrimonious | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
dispute with a stop start talks process and two strike at hospitals | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
in England. Today, the Health Secretary said enough was enough and | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
the junior doctors' contract would be imposed. We have demonstrated | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
time and again our willingness to negotiate with the BMA on the | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
concerns they raised. However, the definition of negotiation is a | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
discussion where both sides demonstrate flexibility and | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
compromise on their original objectives. And the BMA ultimately | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
proved unwilling to do this. He said he'd taken advice from the | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
government's chief negotiator, a leading hospital chief executive. I | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
have to conclude we have reached the end of the road of negotiations and | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
I have therefore advised the Secretary of State that, in the | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
health service, we should not continue with the disruptions that | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
come from the uncertainty, that we need to bring the matter to a close. | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
The new contract will apply from August. It will see basic pay rise | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
13.5% but there will be cuts to unsocial hours payments. 40,000 | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
doctors will be affected as they move jobs as part of their training, | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
about 75% in the first year. Both sides said the issue of pay for | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
Saturday's was the deal-breaker. The announcement is came soon after the | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
end of the 24-hour strike by junior doctors in England which affected | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
routine but not emergency care. The BMA will now consider its next move. | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
routine but not emergency care. The We were always hoping the government | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
wouldn't come to in position but unfortunately they have taken this | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
damaging course of action. We need to talk to our membership now and to | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
see what doctors across the country think is the right thing to do. One | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
doctor who took part in the strike told me some leaks would quit as | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
part of the new contract, so compromising hospital safety. -- | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
some colleagues. There is already a shortage in the NHS doctors. This | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
contract will make it worse and they will not be enough doctors to look | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
after patient safely. Some would say that if reality and we need -- that | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
that is scaremongering. I would say it is reality. Now the BMA will have | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
to decide what further industrial action or processed it wants to | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
take. It does seem that this highly charged row will rumble on for some | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
time yet. As demonstrators gathered outside the Department of Health | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
this evening, there was speculation about whether ongoing contract talks | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
with consultants might falter and there was talk of junior doctors | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
choosing to move to Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, where Garneau | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
planned changes to the existing contract. | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
Our Political Editor, Laura Kuenssberg, is at Westminster | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
I called it a controversial move and presumably it is risky. It is a big | :09:53. | :10:03. | |
decision to take and a big risk. This has gone on and on, not four | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
months but for years, and it will be seen as very aggressive by thousands | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
of medical professionals right around England, many of whom are | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
quite fed up with what is happening in the NHS, a system under real | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
pressure. It has been branded a failure by Labour very vehemently, | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
although the government is adamant they don't feel they had any options | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
left but to go ahead with this. But I think, over time, the really | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
fraught question for both sides is, if this really bad blood continues | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
and turned into a long, drawn-out and increasingly bitter dispute and | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
patients begin to notice a distant -- a different and potentially they | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
begin to suffer, who will the public blame, doctors or politicians? | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
Britain's most senior police officer, the Metropolitan Police | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
Commissioner, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, has been given | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
a one-year extension to his contract. | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
The Home Secretary, Theresa May, said the extension recognised | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
the vital work the Commissioner had done in fighting crime | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
and in reforming the Metropolitan Police Service. | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
Mr Hogan-Howe has defended the way his force handled high | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
The man in charge of Google's operations in the UK faced some | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
tough questions from a committee of MPs today. | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
It follows the outcry after it emerged that the company paid | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
?130 million in back taxes for a ten-year period. | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
But Matt Brittin said the company paid corporation tax at a rate | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
of 20% on its UK profits - just like any other business. | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
Our Economics Editor, Kamal Ahmed, has the story. | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
Google, a company that likes to help us answer questions. | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
It is a search powerhouse that makes billions of pounds of profit | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
Today it appeared to have a little difficulty answering this question - | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
For the Head of Europe Matt Brittin, it was not that simple. | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
I don't have the figure, but I will provide it. | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
A bit of knock-about maybe, but MPs insisted it showed just how | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
out of touch the technology giant is. | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
He seemed on surer ground when defending their settlement | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
We are paying the tax the HMRC believes is the highest amount, | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
they cannot settle until we are paying the tax fully, | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
based on the facts, we cannot pay more, | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
I understand we are in the spotlight, but we are paying | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
Here at their HQ, I am told they are pretty relieved | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
The company has stuck steadfastly to the argument | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
that it is an American company that pays its taxes in America. | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
There was a more interesting witness before MPs today, | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
Could they convince a sceptical public that this was not | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
The key question for that tax collector, did Google run | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
We don't get outmanoeuvred by these big firms, we make | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
If I am honest, I would like to see more recognition of that. | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
We have a fine set of tax inspectors who do an extremely good job. | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
Google says it wants to see a simpler tax code. | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
We have to have confidence that they are not getting better treatment. | :13:32. | :13:41. | |
But I think we need a process in place which reassures the public. | :13:42. | :13:50. | |
Mr Brittin was still being thrown questions as he left the inquiry. | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
But for now, the technology company decided it had said quite enough. | :13:54. | :14:07. | |
Scientists say they've found evidence of gravitational waves. | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
They say it's one of the biggest discoveries of the past 100 years. | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
And still to come, when is the right time to draw a line under the past? | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
A report from Northern Ireland about how to remember the Troubles. | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
And coming up on Reporting Scotland at 6:30pm. | :14:29. | :14:31. | |

And, from Barbados to Banchory, how rum, the spirit of the Caribbean, | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
Kenya has been given a deadline of the end of today to prove | :14:41. | :14:55. | |
to the World Anti-Doping Agency that it's tackling cheating in athletics. | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
It comes after a spate of positive tests in the country, | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
which has come to dominate global distance running. | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
The BBC understands Kenya is unlikely to provide | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
the assurances required and could face punishment, | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
the most serious of which could be exclusion from the Rio Olympics. | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
Our Sports Editor Dan Roan travelled to the Iten, | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
the home of Kenyan athletics, and sent this report. | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
It's one of sport's most unique settings. | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
Iten, nestled in the Rift Valley, home to Kenya's champions. | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
For decades, this small town has provided a high-altitude training | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
base to thousands of world-class athletes, many of whom have gone | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
on to establish their country as the dominant force | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
Kenya's prowess was underlined at the World Championships | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
in Beijing last year when it topped the medal table. | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
1,500 metres winner Asbel Kiprop claiming one of his team's seven | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
Back in Iten, he is now in training for the Rio Olympics, | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
but doping has cast a shadow over his country's preparations. | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
40 Kenyan athletes have been banned to cheating in the last five years, | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
and Kiprop told me of the damage it's doing. | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
It is a disgrace, especially to the sport and ourselves | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
It is a disgrace to hard-working athletes when an athlete is found | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
to have used performance-enhancing drugs. | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
The BBC has obtained previously unseen secretly-filmed footage | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
of an athlete receiving an injection from a doctor. | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
We cannot verify what substance was, but the athlete, who doesn't | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
want to be identified, told me it was a banned substance. | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
Have you used performance-enhancing drugs? | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
In Kenya, most people are using, so if you don't use, | :16:45. | :16:54. | |
you will just be training, training, training all year. | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
In November, athletes staged a protest in Nairobi | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
against the sport's leaders amid corruption allegations. | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
This week, officials had to deny new allegations of extortion, | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
but we spoke to another athlete who said he had been blackmailed | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
by other members of the sporting body after he failed a drugs test. | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
TRANSLATION: They asked me for 500,000 shillings. | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
I said I couldn't afford to pay, so they told me I would receive | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
The governing body said it couldn't comment as it's under investigation | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
by the International Athletics Federation, | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
but did ask those with information to come forward. | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
Kenya's now at serious risk of being dragged into the doping | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
Another of the sport's powerhouse nations, Russia, | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
has already been banned from international competition | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
because of state-sponsored cheating, and now the spotlight | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
The BBC has learned that Kenya has been set a deadline of today | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
by the World Anti-Doping Agency, or Wada, to show it's making | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
progress in the fight against cheating, but all the signs | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
are it will now be placed on a watchlist of countries at risk | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
I think that is the biggest threat right now, that Kenya would be | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
declared non-compliant should we not meet the expectations. | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
And any non-compliant country, the IOC does have the right | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
in its rules to deny it access to the Olympics, for example. | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
Yesterday, Kenya's top sports officials held last-ditch talks | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
agreeing the need for legislation and funding for a new national | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
anti-doping agency to finally become operational. | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
and the Kenyan athletes you'll see will be running clean. | :18:31. | :18:40. | |
In a country of limited resources, the temptation to take short cuts | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
is obvious, and the cost of educating and testing | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
Authorities insist that cheating is not systemic, | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
but at a time when sporting integrity is under scrutiny | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
like never before, Kenya is in a race against time to prove | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
It's been another turbulent day on global markets. | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
The Ftse 100 was down nearly 2.5%, while markets in Frankfurt and Paris | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
How concerned should we be? If you are as worried as the people in the | :19:09. | :19:26. | |
city behind me about what is going on, you would be fretful, they have | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
seen a big plunge in stock prices on Tuesday, they bounced back | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
yesterday, and today we saw a renewed drop. Bank shares are down | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
6% on the week, some banks are down 30% on the year. What are they | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
worried about the? The global slowdown, and central banks' ability | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
to do anything. Today we heard from the sweetest central bank which is | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
cutting its interest rate even further, but they are already | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
negative. If a bank wants to deposit money with them, they are going to | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
charge them. That is how anxious the central banks are to get the banks | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
lending and the economy going, but it is not happening yet, so you have | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
a flight to safety, investors taking their money out of risky investments | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
and putting them in safe ones like have and bonds. -- Government bonds. | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
A brief look at some of the day's other news stories. | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
Psychiatrist Adam Osborne, who's the brother of | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
the Chancellor George Osborne, has been struck off the medical | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
register after having a two-year affair with a vulnerable patient. | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
Mr Osborne had admitted an inappropriate relationship | :20:38. | :20:38. | |
with a patient, which a medical tribunal ruled was profoundly | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
The Scottish Parliament's devolution committee has extended the deadline | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
for a financial deal between Westminster and Holyrood. | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
The committee's given until February 23rd to agree the fiscal framework | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
that will underpin the Scottish Parliament's new tax | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
They had initially hoped the negotiations would be completed | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
It's thought a lightning strike was the spark for a massive blaze | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
at Tata Steel's Port Talbot factory this morning, | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
which started in the plant's coke oven. | :21:08. | :21:09. | |
The company has confirmed that no-one was hurt in the fire. | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
The decades of conflict in Northern Ireland known | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
as the Troubles saw more than 3,500 people killed. | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
The majority of them by Republican and Loyalist paramilitaries. | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
But the Northern Ireland Secretary says she's worried that the focus | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
on deaths involving the police and army means there's a danger that | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
The province's chief constable has told the BBC that he would | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
support at least a debate about whether to draw a line under | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
What happened during these years when Northern Ireland seemed | :21:40. | :21:54. | |
permanently in a state of chaos is well-documented. But the grainy | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
images gathered on days of death and despair to not reveal the whole | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
truth of a conflict that is still cutting deep. This film is bloody | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
Sunday, when members of the British Parachute Regiment shot civilians | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
and 44 years later soldiers are being arrested and questioned about | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
killings that still cause pain. I cry. How often? When I talk about | :22:20. | :22:35. | |
it. Quite often. What do you think when people say to you, you need to | :22:36. | :22:43. | |
put that behind you? How will I get justice? There are soldiers who feel | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
the idea of prosecutions should be left in the past. This man served | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
with the Army in Northern Ireland in the 1980s and because he says he | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
still has concerns about security, he asked for his appearance today | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
not to be shown. You don't have any senior Government ministers in the | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
dock, or senior Army personnel. It is the soldiers on the ground. We | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
cannot keep going on investigating the past. Paramilitaries committed | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
the vast majority of murders during the troubles. But the UK Government | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
knows recent allegations and revelations about security force | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
collusion have put the actions of the state increasingly in the | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
spotlight. That is not right, you are swallowing the narrative that is | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
being pushed. That by definition there was an agent involved, there | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
was wrongdoing. In many instances, these were individuals dividing | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
information to the police to try to save lives and prevent terrorist | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
attacks. A political deal could mean revealing state files on and the | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
police alone hold nearly 10 million documents, leading some officers and | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
soldiers to fear their past could come back to haunt them. That is | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
fair to say, people have that concern. It is also right to say | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
that Aaron military and terrorist groups did not keep minutes of their | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
meetings. Is there a time where you have to draw the line and say, we | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
have to move on? That is a political question. That is a debate that is | :24:18. | :24:25. | |
worth having. For now, the past continues to threaten political | :24:26. | :24:26. | |
relationships in Northern Ireland. They are paintings filled with some | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
of the most bizarre images Now, for the first time ever, | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
the strange and terrifying works of the painter Hieronymus Bosch have | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
been gathered in his home town He is telling us about good and | :24:38. | :25:04. | |
evil. Heaven and hell. Seven deadly sins. He was the master of the weird | :25:05. | :25:12. | |
and strange, Hieronymus Bosch. This exhibition a homecoming for | :25:13. | :25:14. | |
paintings that have been scattered across the world but are rooted | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
here. To understand, we climbed the cathedral. This is the view he would | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
have seen. The view and changed in 500 years, is this an echo of it? | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
This image, locals recognise it, but to see it, you have to take a boat | :25:34. | :25:41. | |
under the city. Where are we? It is the whole of hell, it is like hell. | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
A lot of dead soldiers were buried here. There are echoes of him | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
everywhere, this market square, the buildings have changed, that it is | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
still the medieval landscape he would recognise. This is his old | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
house. There is one thing you will not find. The paintings. Which is | :26:03. | :26:11. | |
what makes this so extraordinary, is great paintings have come home. This | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
is the Hay Wain, back for the first time in five centuries will stop I | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
am walking across the market Square where he lived and worked every day, | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
and to have a painting like this after 500 years back here, it is | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
astonishing. This painting was kept in a store room for decades. But the | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
Fox faced creature, what does it mean? Nobody knows. We know the owls | :26:39. | :26:46. | |
are not wisdom, but evil. But what is certain is that 15 years of | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
coaxing and cajoling the world's great galleries has paid off. If we | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
are ever going to understand him, it will be here. | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
Some parts of the country have had almost a hint of spring, the days | :27:00. | :27:11. | |
are getting longer. Hear what the sunshine. We saw some glorious | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
sunshine, and equally some clouds have given some sharp showers. This | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
evening and overnight, we keep the clear conditions for many areas, but | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
one or two showers continue. We will see them across parts of Northern | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
Ireland, Wales and southern England. Further north, the clearer skies and | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
lowest temperatures, and there could be icy stretches. Further south, a | :27:38. | :27:46. | |
milder start to Friday morning, less frost than today. Friday is shaping | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
up as a cloudy day, with some outbreaks of showery rain across the | :27:52. | :27:54. | |
southern half of Wales and England. Further north, writer skies and snow | :27:55. | :28:01. | |
showers. Several centimetres of snow possible. The temperature is a | :28:02. | :28:08. | |
little below par for the time of year. On Saturday, low pressure | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
moving in from the Atlantic, bringing wet and windy weather to | :28:13. | :28:16. | |
southern areas. Gales are possible for the South West and the Channel | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
Islands. A cold easterly wind to the North. Still some snow showers | :28:22. | :28:27. | |
heading into the north-east of England, they could cause some | :28:28. | :28:35. | |
disruption. Another cold day. A bit of a quieter story into Sunday, the | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
wind and rain easing from the South, and snow showers easing away further | :28:40. | :28:46. | |
north. Ecole day ahead. It stays cold into the new working week. You | :28:47. | :28:50. | |
can check the latest warnings by heading to the website. | :28:51. | :28:53. | |
That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me, | :28:54. | :28:57. |
