The row over the tax affairs of David Cameron and his family - | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
the Prime Minister hits back in the Commons. | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
Mr Cameron promised new measures to crack down on tax evasion - | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
and said accusations about his father were hurtful. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
I was angry about the way my father's memory was being traduced. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
I know he was a hard-working man and a | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
wonderful dad, and I'm proud of everything he did to build a | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Ordinary people in the country simply won't stand for this any | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
They want real justice, they want the wealthy to pay their share | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
of tax, like they pay when they work hard all the time. | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
We'll be asking just how much people care | :00:46. | :00:47. | |

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
David Cameron has been defending his tax affairs - | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
and those of his late father - after a week in which both men have | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
been accused of avoiding their obligations. | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
He described the allegations as hurtful and untrue. | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
Speaking in the Commons, Mr Cameron said the Government would | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
crack down on those who evade tax and the people who help them. | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
Labour's Jeremy Corbyn - who published his tax | :02:15. | :02:15. | |
return this afternoon - said the Prime Minister had failed | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
to appreciate public anger over the issue. | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
Here's our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg. | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
Anyone who wants to live here or here will have to confess in future. | :02:28. | :02:36. | |
The political role has been set - chancellors and Prime Minister will | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
have to tell all on tax. Mr Cameron, do you think all MPs should be | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
publishing tax returns? After a terrible few days are the boss left | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
to answer his attackers. And George Osborne divulges what until today | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
might have only been known behind the Downing Street net curtains. He | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
received nearly ?200,000 in earnings last year. I get a salary as | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
Chancellor of the Exchequer, but I rent out my home in London while I | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
live in Downing Street, and I receive a dividend from my family's | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
Manufacturing businesses. This is an unprecedented degree from plate-mac | :03:12. | :03:22. | |
of transparency. David Cameron has stumbled of transparency. | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
David Cameron has stumbled badly. I except the criticisms for not | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
responding more quickly last week was not as I said, I was angry about | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
the way my father's memory was being tried used. He was a hard-working | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
man, a wonderful dad, and I'm proud of everything needed to build a | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
business and provide for his family. Now he has published this tax | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
details, should all MPs and public figures follow? I think this would | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
be a very big step for our country, it certainly shouldn't take place | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
without a long and thoughtful debate, and it is not the approach I | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
would recommend. The secrets revealed by the Panama papers have | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
led the Government to tighten up the rules on criminals who try to flout | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
tax rolls around the world. The Labour leader published his tax | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
details at the last minute, complete with a ?100 fine for it being late. | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
He thinks the problem is right here. Ordinary people in the country | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
simply won't stand for this any more. They want real justice and the | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
wealthy to pay their fair share of tax like they do when they work hard | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
all the time. All this talk of tax led class war to break out, one | :04:32. | :04:39. | |
former Tory minister slamming MPs. We risk seeing a House of Commons | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
that is stuffed full of low achievers who enter plate-mac hate | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
enterprise, no absolutely nothing about the outside world. Then Bev | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
Ullman from Labour's Derbyshire Stoll walked. This man has done more | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
to divide this nation than anybody else. He has looked after his own | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
pocket. -- Derbyshire Stoll enough to get in thrown out for the | :05:08. | :05:17. | |
day. With money and politics always a | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
murky mix, neither the politicians nor the public likes what they see | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
when the light gets in. As we've seen, more senior | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
politicians have released details Our special correspondent, | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
Lucy Manning, has been looking at the issue of tax | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
openness in public life Not far from Westminster, those who | :05:35. | :05:46. | |
work and pay their taxes have some strong views about whether MPs | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
should be telling us exactly what money they have. Do you think all | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
MPs should publish tax returns? Yes, I do. I think it would be more | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
transparent and it would be less uncertainty with the country. There | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
wouldn't be any, is this person doing this or that? I think they | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
should lead the way, personally. You think they need to give more | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
information than they do currently? Yes, just for transparency and to | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
gain trust. It's not Mrs Aaron the appropriate all the time. I think | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
there is a right to privacy. Those in very high office, the Prime | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
Minister, the Leader of the Opposition, potentially the Cabinet, | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
there is a strong argument there. In terms of all MPs and civil servants, | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
I think it is extreme. With some politicians choosing to publish | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
their tax details, the Prime Minister believes only those right | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
at the top of Government should have to do so. But all MPs could face | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
pressure. MPs will have to publish their tax returns within the next | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
few years. I can't say I'm enthusiastic about this, but it is | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
the mood of the country and politicians need to restore trust. | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
And this may be helpful. So, what happens elsewhere? In America, tax | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
details private but most presidents revealed their tax returns a | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
voluntary basis. In Norway, all politicians have to disclose their | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
tax details so everyone can look at the figures. In France, it's | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
private, and no politician in France as to release their tax information. | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
The issue people raise mostly is about trust. Some MPs say they will | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
release their tax returns, but they are saying they are not sure what | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
impact it will have, but it is better to try and reform the system. | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
MPs have to register expenses and financial interests. | :07:39. | :07:47. | |
We need to think about the impact this might have. Might it deter | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
people who think it is another aspect of their privacy they have to | :07:56. | :08:04. | |
to surrender? It does not own... What started out as a row about | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
offshore tax has turned into one about the money MPs have and are and | :08:09. | :08:25. | |
the public's to know. -- have and Aaron. | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
People sometimes say the prime ministers sometimes appears to be | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
too smooth. It has not been the case in the last few weeks. It has been a | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
dreadful time for him and Downing Street. This afternoon, the | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
Government did manage to move on from what seemed to be a panicky | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
situation where they seemed to be out of control, being beaten up all | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
over the place by opponents and by newspaper headlines, but the | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
combination of money and politics can be such a toxic poisonous mix | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
that I think the bruises and scars from this also Agathe might take a | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
long time to fade. Laura, thank you. | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
Thousands of jobs at Tata Steel's Scunthorpe plant | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
could be saved after a deal with a London based investment firm. | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
The new owner, Greybull Capital, is expected to invest up to four | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
hundred million pounds but workers have been asked to accept cuts | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
Our industry correspondent John Moylan reports from Scunthorpe. | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
It was the news they had been waiting for. For two years, before | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
sale sign has been hanging over the Scunthorpe steelworks. Workers | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
feared for their jobs, so there was relief all round when news of the | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
deal came through. It is good news for the town and Scunthorpe itself. | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
Hopefully the Government will back out as well. I get to keep my house | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
and my car. A bit of a pay cut, but some money is better than none. Yes, | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
positive notes. Like the new name, by the way. The new name being | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
revived by the London-based bios is an iconic brand from the past. Their | :10:03. | :10:10. | |
deal Wilson June 4800 jobs and 1000 more in supply chains. It includes a | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
?400 million rescue package, but in return, staff are being asked to | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
take a 3% pay cut and changes to pensions. There are changes to terms | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
and conditions, a slight pay cut, changes to pensions going forward | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
for one year. Hopefully, because we have recommended it, it is the best | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
deal we can come with, we need that future and a yes on the voting | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
slips. The crisis in the steel industry has led to thousands of job | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
losses will stop the huge steelworks in Redcar went under in the autumn. | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
So why would anyone pump millions into a plant now? Scunthorpe makes | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
long products like railway tracks and steel used in the construction | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
industry. That makes it less prone to unfair competition from China, | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
because it is expensive to transport that sort of material right around | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
the world. This place also has big, stable customers. It has been | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
supplying the rail industry for decades. Today, as Tata officially | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
launched the rest of the sale of its UK industry, it is hoping the | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
Government will help sustain the business in Wales. | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
We are looking at a wide universe of buyers, be it financial, strategic, | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
so we have got to hear from them until we figure out how long we can | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
sustain it. The fate of thousands of | :11:42. | :11:43. | |
steelworkers still hangs in the balance. It is too early to say if | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
this deal is a turning point, but here in North Lincolnshire, they are | :11:50. | :11:50. | |
looking to the future. A mother has been jailed | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
for life after being found guilty of murdering her | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
21-month-old daughter Ayeeshia. Kathryn Smith, who was described | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
in court as "selfish and devious" was told she must spend at least 24 | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
years in prison. The judge and Ayeeshia's relatives | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
were also critical of social services for failing | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
to prevent her death. From Birmingham Crown Court, | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
Sian Lloyd reports. Ayeeshia Jane - her life | :12:15. | :12:15. | |
was brutally snuffed out, the judge said, in a vicious beating | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
in her bedroom. Her mother, Kathryn Smith, | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
arrived at court today to be Seen here last week, | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
she was described as a devious In an outbreak of savage violence, | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
she stamped on her daughter During sentencing, | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
Mrs Justice Andrews described how violence was inflicted | :12:36. | :12:44. | |
upon her repeatedly under the noses of all the various agencies that | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
were supposed to be protecting her. Midwives, health visitors and social | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
workers had all been monitoring We believe that someone should be | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
held responsible and accountable within the social services, | :12:55. | :13:02. | |
and examples should be made for allowing the death of AJ whilst | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
under a supervision order. We may never find out what exactly | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
took place here two years ago, but throughout her short life, | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
Ayeeshia Jane had been known to the authorities and had been | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
identified by social workers Over the coming months, | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
a Serious Case Review will be published to find out whether more | :13:21. | :13:28. | |
could have been done to protect her. Kathryn Smith's boyfriend, | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
Matthew Rigby, was sentenced to three and a half years in prison | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
for causing or allowing He played no part in her murder, | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
but the judge told him, "Your failure to act is something | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
you are going to have to live Kathryn Smith has shown no remorse, | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
but the 23-year-old wept when she was told she will spend | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
at least 24 years in prison. For the first time in a century, | :13:54. | :14:02. | |
the number of tigers living A new estimate suggests there's been | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
a rise of 700 compared with the last set of figures, | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
six years ago. Our science editor David Shukman has | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
been looking at the reasons for this surprise turnaround and asking | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
whether it'll guarantee Tigers are among the most | :14:17. | :14:29. | |
spectacular creatures in the natural world, but for all their power, for | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
all the fear they inspire, they are incredibly vulnerable. A few years | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
ago, I joined a patrol in Thailand trying to protect tigers. It felt | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
like a military operation. The big threat is from well armed poachers, | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
and the guards are often outgunned. In the markets of Asia, tiger | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
products fetch high prices, so demand is relentless. Tigers have | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
been in trouble for decades. The red areas on this map show where they | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
were found a century ago, but now the far smaller orange areas are all | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
they've got. And the numbers tell the same story. There were about | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
100,000 Tigers 100 years back. That collapsed to 3200 by 2010. Now there | :15:17. | :15:24. | |
are welcome signs of a slight rise to nearly 4000. It's a fantastic | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
piece of news, and it's been the result of many many decades of hard | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
work by governments, by a lot of partners on the ground, by the local | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
community is coming together. Is the threat of a? It is far from over. | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
The future of tigers still hangs by a thread. So, every day, the patrols | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
need to keep watch, planning how to beat the poachers. When the guards | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
do well, the number of tigers starts to rise. Automatic cameras planted | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
in the forest filmed these scenes of tigers passing by. It takes high | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
technology and a big budget to keep the Tigers alive, but without this | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
effort, their only century would be a place like this - London zoo. Even | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
through a thick pane of glass, it is quite something being this close to | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
a tiger. The blunt truth is that there are many more of these animals | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
in captivity than in the wild. For those in the wild, it is a constant | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
struggle to keep them safe. Only in 13 countries do tigers roam free. In | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
a handful, numbers are rising, but in many of the rest, extinction | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
remains a real possibility. David Cameron hits back | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
at allegations that he and his late father avoided taxes - | :16:47. | :16:54. | |
he says the accusations You're never too old - | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
what a way to celebrate Coming up in Sportsday | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
on BBC News: The details of West Ham's Olympic Stadium deal | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
will be made public unless the stadium bosses can find | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
a point of law to appeal on. It's after one appeal | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
was rejected today. For the first time in 20 | :17:14. | :17:25. | |
years, an Englishman Danny Willett described his victory | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
in Augusta as mind-boggling. The 28-year-old from Sheffield also | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
became a father just before the tournament and said he'd | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
had a fantastic week, He is the new dad who is now a | :17:37. | :17:51. | |
master. Danny Willett first held his nerve, then phoned his wife. As his | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
last challenge faltered, he found out he was champion. Willett was | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
only playing because baby Zach arrived early, a case of perfect | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
timing for a perfect result. I woke up at nine this morning, couldn't | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
sleep, called a couple of people and went for a run. Far too much | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
adrenaline. I had a little job, a bit of time on my own. Still not | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
quite sunk in. Looking forward to getting home with the family. One | :18:25. | :18:32. | |
man's triumph had been another's calamity, as Jordan Spieth's | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
five-shot lead sank without trace. But Willett, who briefly led the | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
open last year, made no such errors. Just when it mattered, the round of | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
his life. But the roots of this stunning victory lie here, in | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
Yorkshire. This is one of the golf club, where a teenage Danny Willett | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
began his journey towards sporting greatness. His skill and commitment | :18:56. | :19:04. | |
was soon obvious. There was no one else here, and four hours he was on | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
the practice ground. Most of them had a cup of tea and went home. But | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
Danny's work ethic was so strong and he built on that over the years. The | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
son of a vicar, Willett grew up in Sheffield and today his brother told | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
me the secret of his success. Four brothers, we don't like losing at | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
all. Christmas is always a nightmare with games and stuff. He has got a | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
bit of an edge. He absolutely despises losing. All top sportsmen | :19:36. | :19:43. | |
have to have that. As Willett celebrated with his fans, among them | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
Sir Alex Ferguson, so can British golf. 20 years after its last | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
Masters champion, Willett has finally done it. | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
While many children returned to class today after the Easter | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
holidays, 7,000 pupils in Edinburgh couldn't because of fears their | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
They were all built by the same firm about ten years ago. | :20:03. | :20:13. | |
It's the end of the Easter holidays. School's back, but not for all. | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
16-year-old Morgan is one of those missing classes. | :20:19. | :20:20. | |
She has exams including home economics coming up. | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
A place at university depends on how she does. | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
I was up till 12 o'clock last night practising and doing revision | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
I had to do extra revision because today school's closed. | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
And while she is worried, her mother is angry. | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
I am lucky I'm self-emplyed and have my own business. | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
But at the same time I can't just leave her high and dry. | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
What about these other parents that do not work for themelves and have | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
The first sign something was well wrong was when hundreds of bricks | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
were blown off this Edinburgh school during a winter storm. | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
As repairs progressed, further defects were discovered. | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
Metal ties were missing which connect the wall | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
The council then decided to close all 17 schools built under the same | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
The closures have led to questions over whether public-private | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
partnerships are fit for purpose for schools. | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
We have to learn the lessons of what went wrong in the building | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
of the Edinburgh schools and see if there are problems | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
We need a more fundamental look at financing of school improvement. | :21:29. | :21:39. | |
Edinburgh Council says it is prioritising arranging classes | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
for special needs pupils and those facing exams. | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
With thousands of students affected by the closure | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
of schools like this one, there has been several | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
Even the parliament at Holyrood is willing to give up | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
We have looked at alternative arrangements to make sure that | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
children can continue to have their education. | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
We anticipate some of our schools will be able to open | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
or will have alternative accommodation sometime this week. | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
Precautionary safety checks on schools across Scotland are ongoing. | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
Miller Constructions which built the Edinburgh schools is now owned by | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
Galliford Try who say they are working hard to remedy problems. The | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
wider issue over why this happened in the first will be looked back | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
once the thousands of children affected are back in full-time | :22:26. | :22:26. | |
education. Prince William has paid | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
tribute to the Queen, describing her as "remarkably | :22:31. | :22:32. | |
energetic" and a "wonderful He was speaking in India at a party | :22:33. | :22:34. | |
to celebrate the Queen's From there, our royal correspondent | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
Nicholas Witchell reports. It was a grandson's | :22:40. | :22:47. | |
personal tribute. At a reception at the British High | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
Commissioner's residence in Delhi, William spoke of the monarch, | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
his grandmother, who on Thursday of next week will | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
celebrate her 90th birthday. I'm incredibly lucky | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
to have my grandmother in my life. As she turns 90, she is an energetic | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
and dedicated guiding force George and Charlotte too | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
will discover how lucky they are to have such | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
a wonderful great grandmother. A role model for the | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
rest of their lives. And as a role model for her family, | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
the Queen has set The quality most people | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
would associate with the Queen And that has become a slightly | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
sensitive issue for William recently, because there have been | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
questions about his commitment So this visit is a chance | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
to dispel those doubts. There's certainly been | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
no lack of enthusiasm. This was William trying a racing car | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
simulator in Mumbai. And in the serious moments, | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
at the home of Mahatma Gandhi, and laying a wreath to India's war | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
dead, William looks what he is - a future king shaping his own | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
personality to the role from which he knows | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
he cannot escape. A pensioner from Devon has marked | :24:06. | :24:23. | |
his 100th birthday by doing something unusual. Verdun Hayes's | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
centenary celebrations definitely were not for the faint-hearted. | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
100 years old, but Verdun Hayes is not one for sitting still. For his | :24:35. | :24:42. | |
birthday, he wanted to skydive. Just being a bit of a daredevil, really. | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
I always have been, all my life, doing one thing and the other, which | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
other people don't do! Born during the First World War, and named after | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
the Battle of Verdun he fought the Nazis, but that was on the ground | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
not in the air. Now a centenarian, he is at 10,000 feet and ready to | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
go. I said to them, I want to be the first out. That was that. | :25:09. | :25:17. | |
Free falling at 120 mph. It was absolutely beautiful. I enjoyed | :25:18. | :25:28. | |
every second of it. Just came natural to me. It's thought Verdun | :25:29. | :25:36. | |
is now the UK's oldest ever skydiver. And by doing it, he's | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
raised money for a local hospice. Well done! Were you scared? Not in | :25:43. | :25:52. | |
the least. Would you do it again? Yes! Shall we go? Maybe next | :25:53. | :26:00. | |
birthday. By then, he will be the oldest skydiver in the world. | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
Amazing. Let's see if it is skydiving weather. | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
It was in some places, but a day of contrasts today. This was Whitby | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
earlier on, lovely sunshine, a bit more cloudy now. Compare that with | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
what was happening in Fareham in Hampshire earlier, with the cloud | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
and rain. I will put them on the map and you can see what is happening. | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
An area of the car cloud and shadowy rain. Moving north, away from | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
Fareham, but heading up to Whitby. -- thicker cloud. The rain overnight | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
will trickle northwards across Wales and the Midlands. Into northern | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
England and Northern Ireland. Secondary rain moving across the | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
Channel clipping eastern areas of England, could be quite heavy. A lot | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
of cloud and a few breaks in the south-west and Wales. Missed and | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
four patches by the morning. Tomorrow, cloud across Scotland, | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
Northern Ireland and England. -- mist and fog patches. The sunshine | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
will warm things up, which will spark some showers, some of which | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
will be heavy and potentially thundery. The main threat at the | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
moment, the south west, south Wales and the West Country. That could | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
change. The showers will be hit and miss, a lot of places will be dry | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
and warm. Further north, things are not warm. Heavy rain across northern | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
England. Northern Ireland, central and southern Scotland, more cloud | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
and rain. Quite cold, 8 degrees. Any sunshine in Scotland will be in the | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
north-west Highlands. Those contrasts are still around on | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
Wednesday. Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England will be | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
cloudy and damp, cool. For the South, sunshine after the mist and | :27:49. | :27:53. | |
fog. And some showers, which could be heavy, triggered by these | :27:54. | :27:56. | |
temperatures. Would-be 17 degrees in London. Compare with further north, | :27:57. | :28:02. | |
only nine on Wednesday for Glasgow and Newcastle. | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
Before we go, just time to tell you about a special edition | :28:08. | :28:10. | |
It will be an EU referendum special looking at the sovereignty issue. | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
That's Newsnight at 10.30pm on BBC Two. | :28:16. | :28:24. | |
It's goodbye from me, and on BBC One we now join the BBC's | :28:25. | :28:29. |
