:00:00. > :00:08.David Cameron's resignation Honours list - Downing St says

:00:09. > :00:10.Theresa May won't intervene - despite claims it

:00:11. > :00:19.On leaving No 10 - Mr Cameron has nominated political

:00:20. > :00:22.supporters and former staff - friends say he's rewarding people

:00:23. > :00:28.Actually, when you think about it, providing these honours,

:00:29. > :00:30.actually, the taxpayer is getting a bargain.

:00:31. > :00:33.Most reasonable people would say it is unacceptable to give an honour

:00:34. > :00:38.We'll be looking at the names on the list -

:00:39. > :00:43.and at the controversy that surrounds the honours system.

:00:44. > :00:48.The man who tried to behead a passenger at a London tube station

:00:49. > :00:53.The rogue trader who lost his bank nearly ?1.5 billion says the culture

:00:54. > :00:55.of banking still encourages traders to break the law.

:00:56. > :01:01.Donald Trump remains under pressure for his remarks on the family

:01:02. > :01:03.of a Muslim soldier - his parents speak

:01:04. > :01:08.And taking aim - Russia's archers are cleared to hit the target -

:01:09. > :01:14.but after the doping scandal how many team-mates will follow them?

:01:15. > :01:16.And coming up in the sport on BBC News:

:01:17. > :01:19.David Moyes says he plans to bring stability to Sunderland.

:01:20. > :01:22.He's likened the rebuilding job there to the one he had

:01:23. > :01:49.Downing Street has said Theresa May will not block David Cameron's

:01:50. > :01:54.resignation honours list - despite allegations of cronyism.

:01:55. > :02:00.A list leaked to the Sunday Times claimed Mr Cameron had chosen

:02:01. > :02:02.to reward Remain campaigners, donors, and No 10 staff -

:02:03. > :02:05.including his wife Samantha's adviser and stylist.

:02:06. > :02:07.Supporters of Mr Cameron have said he was simply recognising

:02:08. > :02:11.people who'd served both him and the nation.

:02:12. > :02:13.Our political correspondent Vicki Young reports.

:02:14. > :02:15.David Cameron's departure from Downing Street was more sudden

:02:16. > :02:22.Many who had been by his side during those

:02:23. > :02:25.six years at the top watched as he made his final speech outside

:02:26. > :02:28.No 10 after the dramatic loss of the EU referendum.

:02:29. > :02:31.And I want to thank everyone who's given so much support

:02:32. > :02:49.Mr Cameron is preparing to thank some

:02:50. > :02:51.of his closest allies through his resignation honours list.

:02:52. > :02:59.It's the Royal family who actually hand out the OBEs,

:03:00. > :03:00.MBEs and knighthoods, part

:03:01. > :03:05.have made achievements in public life, or committed themselves to

:03:06. > :03:08.But on this occasion, David Cameron's

:03:09. > :03:13.According to the Sunday Times, the names on the honours list include

:03:14. > :03:14.two donors, Ian Taylor and Andrew Cook,

:03:15. > :03:18.Conservative Party and to the Remain side of the EU campaign.

:03:19. > :03:23.A key member of the losing Remain team

:03:24. > :03:25.Will Straw, son of former Labour Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.

:03:26. > :03:28.Samantha Cameron's executive assistant,

:03:29. > :03:31.Isabel Spearmon, who some claim helped organise her diary and style

:03:32. > :03:34.And four Cabinet ministers including Philip Hammond and Michael

:03:35. > :03:49.The cronyism runs rife in Cameron's former administration.

:03:50. > :03:51.You know, I think most reasonable people would

:03:52. > :03:54.say it's unacceptable to give an honour to his wife's stylist,

:03:55. > :03:57.of Parliament as if they are like confetti.

:03:58. > :03:59.We're leaving Downing Street for the last time...

:04:00. > :04:01.Mr Cameron's not the first Prime Minister to draw

:04:02. > :04:04.In 1990 Margaret Thatcher gave gongs to

:04:05. > :04:05.a newspaper editor and her press secretary.

:04:06. > :04:08.John Major rewarded several Conservative MPs and staff.

:04:09. > :04:16.Tony Blair didn't have such a list when he left office.

:04:17. > :04:19.But he'd previously been engulfed in a cash-for-honours scandal.

:04:20. > :04:25.Today, all nominations are reviewed by

:04:26. > :04:27.independent committees to make sure they're above board.

:04:28. > :04:29.And Mr Cameron's supporters say those on

:04:30. > :04:35.These people will have worked, as I say, under

:04:36. > :04:39.Where everything is required yesterday,

:04:40. > :04:41.immediately, you don't take holidays, you don't leave at the end

:04:42. > :04:44.It's an extraordinary environment and atmosphere.

:04:45. > :04:46.And over the years, over six years in Downing

:04:47. > :04:50.Street, the Prime Minister will have built up a huge debt of gratitude.

:04:51. > :04:52.The new Prime Minister, Theresa May, has ruled out blocking

:04:53. > :04:56.Downing Street said it would set a very bad

:04:57. > :05:11.Over the years political honours have often caused a stir, it looked

:05:12. > :05:14.like prime ministers were rewarding rich donors or putting their mates

:05:15. > :05:18.in the House of Lords, which some people fear what this kind of does

:05:19. > :05:22.is undermine the whole system and devalued the thousands of rewards

:05:23. > :05:26.which are given to people across the country who work often for decades

:05:27. > :05:29.for no pay to make their communities better place. STUDIO: Thank you,

:05:30. > :05:31.Vicki Young. A mentally ill man who tried

:05:32. > :05:34.to behead a musician during a rampage at Leytonstone Tube

:05:35. > :05:37.Station in London has Muhiddin Mire suffers from paranoid

:05:38. > :05:41.schizophrenia - and he believed for being Muslim, as June Kelly

:05:42. > :05:54.reports. It was the start of a Saturday night

:05:55. > :05:58.when Muhiddin Mire ran amok with a knife in this Tube station. Here he

:05:59. > :06:02.was following musician Lars Immelman who was on his way to a gig laden

:06:03. > :06:07.with instruments and equipment. On the ticket hall he pounced on him.

:06:08. > :06:12.The musician spoke to the BBC today. He isn't showing his face because he

:06:13. > :06:17.doesn't want what happened to him to define his identity. I remember

:06:18. > :06:22.being punched and kicked on the ground, then I lost consciousness,

:06:23. > :06:31.probably for five minutes or so, and then found myself being looked after

:06:32. > :06:34.expertly by a junior doctor. As he lay unconscious, Muhiddin Mire had

:06:35. > :06:37.slashed his throat. He shouted that he was going to spill blood for his

:06:38. > :06:47.Syrian brothers. I feel that he's been suffering from

:06:48. > :06:53.mental health issues for a long time. I'm not at all interested in

:06:54. > :06:57.retribution. Muhiddin Mire was finally brought under control by

:06:58. > :07:04.police using a tasers stun gun, prompting this from one onlooker.

:07:05. > :07:07.This simple response went viral on social media and was reported around

:07:08. > :07:13.the world. You went no Muslim.

:07:14. > :07:18.I don't feel traumatised by the event. It seems to me that people

:07:19. > :07:25.who have had significantly tragic outcomes from this incident are

:07:26. > :07:32.mostly Mr Meyer and his family and I feel nothing but pity for them.

:07:33. > :07:35.Today the judge said Muhiddin Mire had been motivated by Muslims being

:07:36. > :07:38.bombed in Surrey and had images relating to so-called Islamic State

:07:39. > :07:43.on his phone. He will serving a minimum of eight

:07:44. > :07:47.and a half years and will start his sentence in Broadmoor high security

:07:48. > :07:49.hospital -- bombed in Syria. June Kelly, BBC News.

:07:50. > :07:51.The City trader who was jailed for Britain's biggest-ever

:07:52. > :07:53.banking fraud said crimes like his could happen again,

:07:54. > :07:56.as workers are under pressure to make profits "no matter what".

:07:57. > :07:58.Kweku Adoboli said he was sorry for his actions -

:07:59. > :08:01.but he thinks the culture of banking hasn't sufficiently changed.

:08:02. > :08:10.He spoke exclusively to our economics editor Kamal Ahmed.

:08:11. > :08:16.He became the very public face of the worst excesses of banking.

:08:17. > :08:20.Jailed and forever known as the biggest rogue trader in banking

:08:21. > :08:24.history. One of the difficult things about

:08:25. > :08:29.coming out of prison is that there is a lot of work to rebuild your

:08:30. > :08:36.life. Today, four years after his conviction, gone, the ?360,000 per

:08:37. > :08:39.year payback, he is dependent on friends for support. I began by

:08:40. > :08:45.asking him what caused that first step on a journey into criminality.

:08:46. > :08:51.We started, you know, trying to spread our wings and make profits.

:08:52. > :08:57.Because, in 2009 we were being asked by our senior managers to take more

:08:58. > :09:03.risk. As we got through 2010 and 2011, as we were generating more

:09:04. > :09:08.profits, we started to be told to spread our wings even more. So, you

:09:09. > :09:12.know, you'd get e-mails come through saying revenue, revenue, revenue.

:09:13. > :09:17.The court heard dramatic evidence of that hunt for revenue, fictitious

:09:18. > :09:20.accounts, secret slush funds. He was called the master fraudster, out of

:09:21. > :09:24.control as bets on the market went wrong and he tried to hide

:09:25. > :09:29.increasing losses. Britain's biggest ever fraud, jailed

:09:30. > :09:32.for the rogue city trader who lost more than ?1 billion.

:09:33. > :09:36.Kweku Adoboli was sentenced to seven years in prison, now he's looking

:09:37. > :09:42.for redemption. I have apologised and I will

:09:43. > :09:47.continue apologising. I am devastated, not for myself, but for

:09:48. > :09:51.my institution and the people whom I worked with. These are not just

:09:52. > :09:56.devices, it's how I feel, I failed, I make mistakes. You were called a

:09:57. > :09:59.liar. I was called a liar and I accept that I lied and I was

:10:00. > :10:03.dishonest in the way that I was doing what I was doing. Has

:10:04. > :10:08.behaviour changed in banking enough? No, absolutely not. I think the

:10:09. > :10:12.young people I've spoken to, former colleagues I've spoken to, are still

:10:13. > :10:20.struggling with the same issues, the same conflicts, the same pressures

:10:21. > :10:24.to achieve no matter what. This is one Finsbury Ave in central London,

:10:25. > :10:30.the home of UBS's equities trading and where Kweku Adoboli used to

:10:31. > :10:33.work. Since 2012 and his conviction, crossed the banking sector, has

:10:34. > :10:37.culture changed? Yes, there are thousands more compliance officers,

:10:38. > :10:41.yes, there are thousands more pages of regulation, but at its simplest,

:10:42. > :10:47.banking is a mixture of money, profit and risk, and that can be

:10:48. > :10:52.toxic combination. Well, this is a book, a sort of a

:10:53. > :10:55.scrapbook that I had imprisoned actually.

:10:56. > :10:59.Looking back, Kweku Adoboli, older now and maybe wiser, can never work

:11:00. > :11:03.in banking again. It's been a long journey.

:11:04. > :11:13.It would be wonderful if we could turn the page and start the next

:11:14. > :11:21.step. But, yeah. It's been a long journey...

:11:22. > :11:25.For Kweku Adoboli, a new legal battle. He is fighting extradition

:11:26. > :11:29.back to where he was born, Ghana. He says he has something to offer the

:11:30. > :11:32.UK, giving advice on encouraging traders away from criminal

:11:33. > :11:34.behaviour. Kamal Ahmed, BBC News. The founder and two staff members

:11:35. > :11:36.of a flagship free school - which is state-funded

:11:37. > :11:39.but independently run - face jail after being found guilty

:11:40. > :11:41.of fraudulently obtaining As our education editor

:11:42. > :11:48.Branwyn Jeffreys reports, Sajid Hussain Raza and two others

:11:49. > :11:51.were convicted of diverting Department for Education grants

:11:52. > :11:55.to their own bank accounts. Standing at the Prime Minister's

:11:56. > :11:58.shoulder, Sajid Raza was proud One of the first free schools

:11:59. > :12:07.in David Cameron's flagship policy. But this headteacher had financial

:12:08. > :12:12.problems and a history of deceit. Raza was struggling with debt

:12:13. > :12:19.when he applied to open this school. Soon, he was stealing money to pay

:12:20. > :12:22.mortgages on buy-to-let properties, claiming false expenses,

:12:23. > :12:25.an inflated salary. A school credit card

:12:26. > :12:29.was used to buy a car. Far from being a model school,

:12:30. > :12:31.Raza treated the Academy Employing his relatives

:12:32. > :12:37.there and operating The defendants treated public money

:12:38. > :12:43.like their own and when challenged, fabricated documents

:12:44. > :12:46.to cover their tracks. In October 2012, the Education

:12:47. > :12:49.Funding Agency received allegations By January 2013, an audit team

:12:50. > :12:56.was on site investigating. And in January 2014,

:12:57. > :12:58.the principal Sajid But the case raises questions

:12:59. > :13:04.about what happened earlier. How did a man with unpaid debts

:13:05. > :13:10.get his hands on public money? Why were the early concerns

:13:11. > :13:26.about his suitability overlooked? Branwen is with me now. Free Schools

:13:27. > :13:30.are quite new in England, where they set up with the right checks and

:13:31. > :13:35.balances? They suggest, at least in this case, there was a scramble to

:13:36. > :13:40.approve applications. In just two months, a man who had mounting

:13:41. > :13:45.debts, already had a court judgment against him, the first of several,

:13:46. > :13:48.was able to get permission to open a school with public money as the

:13:49. > :13:52.first grants were arriving in the company's bank account. Some of that

:13:53. > :13:56.money, as we know now, diverted to pay the mortgages of buy-to-let

:13:57. > :13:59.properties he was struggling to manage. It raises questions about

:14:00. > :14:04.why the concerns of senior civil servants want to listen to. When he

:14:05. > :14:08.was challenged he threatened to call the then Education Secretary Michael

:14:09. > :14:12.Gove, and all of those concerns seem to have been brushed aside.

:14:13. > :14:15.Department for Education says systems are in place to check up on

:14:16. > :14:20.Free Schools and they acted quickly on the allegations, but it raises a

:14:21. > :14:26.number of very serious questions. Branwen Jeffreys, thank you.

:14:27. > :14:30.The time is 6:14pm. The top story this evening: David Cameron's

:14:31. > :14:33.resignation honours list. Downing Street says Theresa May will not

:14:34. > :14:41.intervene despite claims it amounts to cronyism. Coming up: join us at

:14:42. > :14:44.Devils Bridge in Cumbria, which from today is also part of Yorkshire as

:14:45. > :14:47.its national park gets bigger. Coming up in Sportsday

:14:48. > :14:48.on BBC News: Just four days

:14:49. > :14:50.until the Olympics begin, Russia's Sports Minister

:14:51. > :14:52.Vitaly Mutko expects the decision on whether Russian athletes can take

:14:53. > :14:55.part in Rio to be made People in the UK are now twice

:14:56. > :15:13.as likely to survive cancer for at least ten years

:15:14. > :15:15.than they were at the Figures show that more than 170,000

:15:16. > :15:19.people in the UK told they had But the chances of getting

:15:20. > :15:25.cancer remain high - after 1960 will be diagnosed

:15:26. > :15:29.with some form of it And even after treatment,

:15:30. > :15:38.the consequences of a cancer diagnosis live on,

:15:39. > :15:40.with hundreds of thousands of people presently having

:15:41. > :15:41.depression as a result. Our Health Correspondent

:15:42. > :15:48.Dominic Hughes reports. This is the website I made

:15:49. > :15:50.to help and inspire others. Greg Trout has beaten cancer not

:15:51. > :15:53.once, but twice. As a child and then as an adult,

:15:54. > :15:56.he saw off the illness. But as his physical health

:15:57. > :15:59.recovered, what he didn't anticipate were the psychological battles

:16:00. > :16:01.he would have to fight and the support he'd need

:16:02. > :16:04.in the months to come. It was actually surviving cancer,

:16:05. > :16:07.that's when I really I was gripped by anxiety, fear,

:16:08. > :16:15.that the cancer may return And I suffered with post-traumatic

:16:16. > :16:25.stress disorder and that turned out to be my worst

:16:26. > :16:27.experience with cancer. The other form of treatment

:16:28. > :16:29.is known as chemotherapy... Our understanding of cancer has been

:16:30. > :16:31.transformed since the 1970s. Better diagnosis and more

:16:32. > :16:33.sophisticated drugs means an increasing number of people

:16:34. > :16:35.are living with the disease. There are amazing differences

:16:36. > :16:37.between treatment nowadays Not only are the differences

:16:38. > :16:44.in treatment, but screening technology has advanced

:16:45. > :16:46.so we're getting cancers And if they're caught early,

:16:47. > :16:51.for the most part, cancer survival But cancer charities warn that

:16:52. > :16:57.surviving the disease can People are living longer

:16:58. > :17:02.with cancer, but they're living with really long-term

:17:03. > :17:05.consequences as well. So those people who were diagnosed

:17:06. > :17:09.in the 1970s and '80s, 170,000 of them are surviving right

:17:10. > :17:12.now, but they have financial issues, emotional issues,

:17:13. > :17:16.psychological issues. And what that's really painting

:17:17. > :17:19.a picture of is the fact that going forward, the cancer

:17:20. > :17:22.story is changing. And some cancers such as brain

:17:23. > :17:25.and lung, remain hard to spot Here at the Christie in Manchester,

:17:26. > :17:33.one of the country's leading specialist cancer hospitals,

:17:34. > :17:35.there's been some real progress But there is an acknowledgement too

:17:36. > :17:39.that some forms of the disease Since the war against cancer

:17:40. > :17:44.was announced by the Americans in 1971, to now, I think

:17:45. > :17:49.the progress has been immense. However, certain

:17:50. > :17:52.cancers have struggled. We haven't had chemotherapies

:17:53. > :17:53.and radiotherapies If you don't put cancers

:17:54. > :17:58.into trials, you're not They need trials and they need

:17:59. > :18:04.resource. Greig is one of the growing number

:18:05. > :18:06.who have survived cancer. But experts warn that

:18:07. > :18:11.while the disease is no longer necessarily life-limiting,

:18:12. > :18:12.it remains life-changing. A 12-year-old boy and three other

:18:13. > :18:19.teenagers have appeared in Manchester Crown Court

:18:20. > :18:23.charged with murder. Bradley Moore, who was in his 40s,

:18:24. > :18:26.died in hospital after he was attacked near a McDonald's

:18:27. > :18:27.restaurant in The boys cannot be named

:18:28. > :18:38.for legal reasons. With only four days

:18:39. > :18:40.to go to the Rio Games, a member of the International

:18:41. > :18:43.Olympic Committee has told the BBC there has to be a complete overhaul

:18:44. > :18:46.of anti-doping practice to prevent a repeat of the Russian

:18:47. > :18:47.doping scandal. Today Russia's sports

:18:48. > :18:49.ministry said it should know by tomorrow how

:18:50. > :18:50.many Our sports editor Dan Roan has

:18:51. > :19:02.the latest from Rio. Four days and counting, final

:19:03. > :19:06.preparations continue here as Rio gets ready for the start of the

:19:07. > :19:10.games. But as the fallout from the Russian doping scandal continues to

:19:11. > :19:12.mar the build-up, one member of the International Olympic Committee

:19:13. > :19:17.today told me such a crisis must never happen again. There has to be

:19:18. > :19:21.a complete overhaul of the system, I would love to see a completely

:19:22. > :19:26.independent body that takes care of anti-doping in the world right now.

:19:27. > :19:28.There are too many conflicts of interest we have between the

:19:29. > :19:31.different bodies in the world. That is inevitable when

:19:32. > :19:36.international sport is intertwined, but this is the number one pressure

:19:37. > :19:41.for the international movement, I think. Russia's women's archers are

:19:42. > :19:46.world champions and aiming for Olympic gold. They have been cleared

:19:47. > :19:49.to compete at the International Confederation but must wait for

:19:50. > :19:54.confirmation from an IOC panel that has been set up to test each

:19:55. > :19:59.athlete's drug record. They will be told tomorrow which of the team has

:20:00. > :20:10.been cleared. I think archery is a clean sport, and there is no issue.

:20:11. > :20:16.This year, they have passed all the doping tests. One of the sports is

:20:17. > :20:20.rowing, due to take place here in this spectacular venue. 22 members

:20:44. > :20:48.important thing is the credibility and ethics of Olympic sport, by a

:20:49. > :20:52.long way, so I think that unless that is being tackled and that is

:20:53. > :20:56.what is really important, if there are one or two boats that are not

:20:57. > :21:01.rowing, that is minor compared to the message that the public need to

:21:02. > :21:07.be confident of. But the games face other challenges, too. A study found

:21:08. > :21:10.that waste levels in the waters remain dangerously high, and

:21:11. > :21:16.pollution isn't the only worry at the sailing venue, where the main

:21:17. > :21:21.brand -- the main ramp for a boats to enter the water has partly

:21:22. > :21:23.collapsed. For the organisers of Rio 2016, the sooner the actual sport

:21:24. > :21:27.begins, the better. The United States has carried out

:21:28. > :21:29.air strikes in Libya, targeting the so-called Islamic State group

:21:30. > :21:32.in the city of Sirte. The Pentagon said the raids

:21:33. > :21:34.were carried out at the request of the country's recently

:21:35. > :21:36.installed unity government, and that it would continue to target

:21:37. > :21:39.Sirte in an effort to prevent IS from establishing what it called

:21:40. > :21:43.a safe haven in Libya. It's been another tough day

:21:44. > :21:46.for the Republican Presidential candidate, Donald Trump,

:21:47. > :21:48.as leading party members distance themselves from his attacks

:21:49. > :21:50.on the family of a Muslim army In an exclusive interview,

:21:51. > :21:55.the captain's father told our North America Editor Jon

:21:56. > :22:15.Sopel he won't ask for an apology Trouble for Donald Trump...

:22:16. > :22:19.This is one fight that people are telling Donald Trump he can't win,

:22:20. > :22:26.but he isn't listening, complaining again on social media that he had

:22:27. > :22:32.been the subject of a vicious attack by the Khan family. Their speech

:22:33. > :22:38.about the death of their son, a Muslim captain posthumous awarded

:22:39. > :22:45.the Bronze staffer heroism. I asked them if they had committed an attack

:22:46. > :22:51.on Mr Trump. He can insult, he can disrespect women, judges, even the

:22:52. > :22:56.members of his own party, yet when an ordinary citizen of this country,

:22:57. > :23:01.a patriotic American Muslim of this country, says anything about him, he

:23:02. > :23:07.says he has been viciously attacked. He has different sets of rights. We

:23:08. > :23:11.all have same equal rights. Ghazala Khan was derided by Mr Trump for not

:23:12. > :23:18.having spoken at the convention. What was her reaction to that?

:23:19. > :23:23.Without saying a word, I was sitting in their heart. Everyone in the

:23:24. > :23:28.audience felt it. So I was surprised that he doesn't feel the pain. What

:23:29. > :23:35.type of person doesn't feel the pain? You are attacking Mr Trump

:23:36. > :23:39.over his behaviour, very openly. Isn't there a danger that you will

:23:40. > :23:45.get attacked openly as well? In every person's life, there comes a

:23:46. > :23:53.time when you choose to either say what is the call of the time or shy

:23:54. > :23:58.away. I felt my family supported my stand, they said, you should do

:23:59. > :24:03.that, and the burden, we would equally bear. The normal law of

:24:04. > :24:08.politics is that if you are in a hole, you stop digging, but that is

:24:09. > :24:12.not Donald Trump's style. Not only over the Khan family, this weekend

:24:13. > :24:17.he has got in a right tangle over policy towards Ukraine, and having

:24:18. > :24:19.previously said he had a close relationship with Vladimir Putin, he

:24:20. > :24:24.has now clarified he has never met him. It has not been a great few

:24:25. > :24:29.days for the Republican candidate. Jon Sopel, BBC News, Washington.

:24:56. > :24:59.Yorkshire Dales national park, but the local town isn't, that stays the

:25:00. > :25:04.same. As these national parks now take up a great swathe of northern

:25:11. > :25:14.By broadening its boundaries, even more of this breathtaking

:25:20. > :25:29.From today, parts of Kirkby Lonsdale and Cumbria are within the national

:25:30. > :25:32.park, but what difference will it make?

:25:33. > :25:38.My only worry is commercialising areas of outstanding national beauty

:25:39. > :25:46.will mean one thing. Car parks, visitor centres, cafes. Boundary

:25:47. > :25:49.extension has raised concerns with farmers and local businesses because

:25:50. > :25:52.the national park has responsibility for planning issues. This is where

:25:53. > :25:57.it is important that we work together with the National park in

:25:58. > :25:59.their role is planning authority to make sure they understand how

:26:00. > :26:04.critically important economic development is to the area. Unless

:26:05. > :26:08.there is a diverse, thriving rural economy, there will not be jobs for

:26:09. > :26:15.young people, opportunities, we will lose the sense of community.

:26:16. > :26:19.The National Park Authority says it understands people's concerns.

:26:20. > :26:25.We don't think there will be a problem. We recognise the importance

:26:26. > :26:32.in rural areas in particular of sustainability and fine ability --

:26:33. > :26:34.viability of local communities. We intend to play our part in that.

:26:35. > :26:37.And because villagers like these make this part of England

:26:38. > :26:39.so special, the National Park Authority says their identity

:26:40. > :26:45.And if more of them are protected, there'll be more of Britain's

:26:46. > :27:02.The weather has been great in the Dales today. The cloud and the rain

:27:03. > :27:08.is really soggy across the south-west, but it will be mild here

:27:09. > :27:14.tonight. The North, particularly Scotland, clear skies in some areas,

:27:15. > :27:17.and it will be nippy. The reason for this big north-south divide is we

:27:18. > :27:24.have this weather fronts slicing the country in half at around about the

:27:25. > :27:34.Dales. Look at the breeze in the south-west, as well. 15, perhaps 17

:27:35. > :27:38.degrees, and rural spots in Scotland, really nippy, possibility

:27:39. > :27:42.of down to two degrees. The possibility of a touch of grass

:27:43. > :27:46.frost in some areas. So it starts fresh and bright in some areas, and

:27:47. > :27:50.the thicker cloud will push further into western parts of Scotland. The

:27:51. > :27:55.best of the weather will be across these far north-eastern areas. In

:27:56. > :28:02.the south it will stay cloudy and muddy. Tomorrow, through the

:28:03. > :28:07.evening, it looks as though some of that heavier rain will push into

:28:08. > :28:13.Scotland, just a little more. Wednesday, low pressure over us,

:28:14. > :28:17.quite a few isobars, it will be a windy Wednesday, with showers across

:28:18. > :28:21.the Northwest. The south-east of the country not doing too badly at all,

:28:22. > :28:25.and temperatures will be in the mid-20s, quite often it looks like

:28:26. > :28:29.it won't be quite so warm in the south-east with the wind coming of

:28:30. > :28:34.the Atlantic, but I think we will get that. 17 in Glasgow, so fresher

:28:35. > :28:38.there. Let's summarise the week, it looks as though things will stay

:28:39. > :28:41.quite settled across the south, with temperatures into the 20s. The

:28:42. > :28:47.Northwest will keep a few showers going. Thank you, Tomasz.

:28:48. > :28:55.David Cameron's resignation honours list. Downing Street says it will

:28:56. > :28:56.not intervene. That's all from the BBC News at Six,
